My cell phone rang, and it was the type of call you never want to receive. A OneHope team member had been in a horrific motorcycle accident. He was fighting for his life, and it was unclear whether he would make it through the night. I immediately sent an urgent message to my team, asking for prayers for wisdom for the medical professionals treating him. Responses began pouring in. As I reflect on a season that encourages us to pause and give thanks for our blessings, I’m reminded of one of life’s greatest gifts — the gift of community. In […]

A truth is always true. I am not a believer in work/life balance but rather work/life rhythms. I find that rhythms are more realistic. Sometimes my life is at peace, and I can experience the joy of tranquility, and at other times my life is chaotic and stormy, anything but relaxed. Do you ever feel that way? Lately my life has felt a little stormy, and the discernment and wisdom that God provides is critical, helping me to know how to process and navigate all that comes my way. I am sure you can relate. I have been reflecting a […]

Dear Friend,  Today our nation will hold one of the most consequential elections in decades. Voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 5, to cast their ballots for the next president of the United States, as well as for many crucial congressional, state and local offices. The future of our nation is at stake. America has drifted far from the Biblical values that once stood as our rock-solid foundation. In so many ways, we have turned our back on God, and the results have been devastating. Progressive, liberal thought and activism have so contaminated the mainstream of American […]

“Though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you — being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ —I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me” (Philemon 1:8–11). After beginning with the important place that affirmation plays in relationships, Paul then turned to what can be described as the win-win principle. This concept was made […]

here and now

One of my greatest joys in life is witnessing the vibrancy of the global Church during my travels. Whether it’s congregations here in South Florida or Christian communities in distant parts of the world, the Church continues to be a dynamic force, a beautiful expression of people sharing the light of Christ across cultures and continents. Yet, as we reflect on this shared mission, one might ask: what makes sharing the Gospel in 2024 distinct from other times in history? Changing times While some may claim we live in an era of “unprecedented change,” the truth is that change has […]

When we hear the word tension, we usually think of the emotion produced by a stressful situation. Driving in heavy traffic comes to mind. For me, boarding an airplane produces tension. Put me in the martial arts arena with a younger, faster opponent, and I feel no tension; my mind is busy looking for the opening that will give me victory. Strap me into an airplane that is about to thunder down a runway at 160 miles per hour and somehow rise into the air, and I experience a great deal of tension!  But I am speaking of a different […]

Church United has been on a decade long mission to connect ministry leaders from Christian churches across denominational, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds to collaborate in ways that strengthen the body of Christ and advance the gospel in our region. Birthed out of a period of brokenness, Edwin Copeland, executive director of Church United, said their strategy is to develop healthy leaders and foster thriving churches that will ultimately lead to flourishing cities. South Florida has a long history of faithful men and women of God advancing the gospel in their day, explained Copeland. In the 1980’s, the Rev. Billy Graham filled Lockhart Stadium with a message of hope and freedom in Christ. People were saved, tools […]
