In the current issue of WORLD, I profile Rachael Denhollander, a Christian attorney, wife, and homeschooling mom who took down one of the worst known sexual predators in U.S. sports history.

In Louisville, I visited the Denhollanders’ church and their small home near the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where Rachael’s husband, Jacob, is pursuing a Ph.D.

Editor’s note: This article contains descriptions of sexual abuse.

LOUISVILLE—On a stormy Sunday morning in northern Kentucky, Jacob and Rachael Denhollander sit with their three small children a few rows from the front of Reformed Baptist Church of Louisville.

They look like an ordinary family, with their two little girls in frilly dresses and a young son in a shirt and tie, but the Denhollanders have just returned from an extraordinary journey.

It’s difficult to add to the volumes already being written about evangelist Billy Graham after his death on Wednesday at age 99. The week ahead will bring more reflections as Graham’s coffin lies in repose at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, N.C., and then at the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.

In recent months, the so-called “Billy Graham rule” reappeared in the American lexicon with stories about how Vice President Mike Pence followed Graham’s example of not being alone with any woman who wasn’t his wife. 

One of the most gut-wrenching realities about mass shootings is that they’re always unexpected, and a community never knows it’s the next spot a shooter will strike. 

Even when shooters show alarming warning signs—as did the killer in the Florida massacre this week—parents and students and principals and pastors and neighbors are still stunned when a person who seems “off” suddenly unleashes a bloodbath.

Jessica Harris was 13 years old when her online research for a school project returned a handful of harmless science videos and one website that changed the course of her life: a link to hardcore pornography.

Harris was shocked, but curious.

“It was like watching a train wreck,” she says. “You know it’s bad, but you can’t look away.” The next time she went online, Harris knew how to find the site again, even though what she had seen was vile. “It was a war of emotions,” she says.

Harris lost the war.

Lucas Warren has typical hobbies for an 18-month-old baby: He likes to play, laugh, and make other people laugh. But Lucas isn’t a typical toddler. This week, baby food giant Gerber chose Lucas as its “2018 Gerber Spokesbaby.” 

Lucas also happens to have Down syndrome.

Lucas is the eighth winner of the annual contest, but he’s the first baby with Down syndrome chosen for the honor. Gerber chose Lucas’ photo out of 140,000 entries submitted nationwide.

It’s easy to see why. 

In a Michigan courtroom, dozens of women testified this week in a third and final sentencing hearing for Larry Nassar, the former gymnastics doctor convicted of sexually assaulting patients.

More than 250 women have accused Nassar of sexually assaulting them while they were girls under his medical care.

Last December, a judge sentenced Nassar to 60 years in prison in connection with possession of child pornography. In January, another judge sentenced him to 40 to 175 years in a separate hearing for sexual assault.
