WHEN YOU KEEP KNOCKING, KEEP BELIEVING : The Power of Persistent Prayer

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE ✦ A REFLECTION ON LUKE 11:5–13 WHEN YOU KEEP KNOCKING, KEEP BELIEVING The Power of Persistent Prayer What Jesus teaches us about perseverance, faith in difficult moments, the goodness of the Father, and the courage to keep praying when life does not give us immediate answers. FAITH • PERSISTENCE • TRUST • HOPE There are moments in life when we pray, wait, pray again—and still see no answer. We pray for healing, but the illness remains.

The Smurfette Principle : Representation, Relatability, Identity & the Psychology of Audience Connection

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE CULTURE • MEDIA • MARKETING • HUMAN BEHAVIOUR The Smurfette Principle Representation, Relatability, Identity & the Psychology of Audience Connection How character representation, target audiences, peer bonding and moral identity shape the stories people remember — and the brands they connect with. SEE • RELATE • IDENTIFY • BELONG A Simple Question With a Deep Answer Why does one character sometimes become far more memorable than an entire group? Why does an audience identify strongly with one particular character even when that character is not the central hero? And why do writers, marketers and storytellers sometimes introduce a particular character not only to represent an identity, but also to make the story more relatable, emotionally balanced or socially acceptable? These questions lead us to a useful cultural concept: the Smurfette Principle. The term describes a pattern in which a group or ensemble is pre...
