William “Bill” C. Davell: Power of Attorney Is a Powerful Way to Protect Your Interests

The Good News provides a monthly column with important content having to do with topics from the legal community. This month Bill Davell discusses power of attorney with Jeff Fauer, director with Tripp Scott. A power of attorney is a time-tested way to provide peace of mind that your personal, financial and legal affairs are kept in order, and your interests and intentions respected and carried out in contexts ranging from business to healthcare. But it’s important to understand what a power of attorney is and how it works to ensure it serves those purposes. Bill Davell: What is a […]

Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: How to Build a Close-Knit Family in a Busy World

Have you ever had a moment where you feel like, “Is this real life?” That there are just too many family and parenting responsibilities, and it is impossible to get them all done? There must be a hidden camera somewhere in the house just waiting to film you as you crack under the pressure. In fact, by the way you hear your children talk to each other, it sounds as if they are about to vote each other off the island. “I can’t get my children to talk nicely to each other let alone take care of each other,” one […]

Good News Wants to Know…

Reflecting back on the past year, Good News Wants to Know… what lesson did 2025 teach you that you didn’t expect? Seeds you planted 10, 20, 30 years ago and forgot about, will suddenly grow in ways that are surprising. Jesus said the Kingdom of God works like that. (Mark 4:26-29) Doug Sauder, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale 2025 taught me that triumph absolutely comes from trials! Andrew Holmes, President, 4KIDS In 2025, I learned that when God calls me to a work, He faithfully equips me for it. Even in moments of doubt, He carried me through, strengthened my faith, and […]

Patrick J. Kelly: FOMO

Care to know the secret behind massive returns that only savvy investors know about? There is no secret, but FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is a powerful psychological trigger. It’s epidemic in many modern-day conveniences such as social media, television and radio. Unfortunately, it can also influence our faith and investment decisions too.  Stephan Tchividjian recently wrote a terrific article about shiny rocks: “I find that sometimes along the path there are all kinds of little things that catch my eye, my attention. I call these distractions shiny rocks. The shiny rocks beg you to pick them up and put […]

Stephan Tchividjian: Sell Fish

I can imagine that if you had met one of the interns of Jesus before they were officially following Him and asked, “What is the purpose of your life?” they might have answered, “Sell fish.” Many people living 2,000 years ago made their living growing crops, raising livestock, building and repairing structures or selling fish. I imagine the vocation of selling fish — especially along the shore of a lake — was fairly stable and even lucrative. Like any profession, it carried its share of hardship, competition and long hours. Then one day, Jesus comes walking along the shoreline and […]

Andrew Holmes: Running with the End in Mind

A sacred season remembered We’ve just come through one of the most meaningful seasons of the year: tables were set, prayers were prayed and bread was broken around the table. For many of us, this past holiday season wasn’t just about celebration, it was about connection, restoration and belonging. And I just want to pause and honor that. Because what we experienced together around the table wasn’t ordinary. From birthday gatherings to Thanksgiving to Christmas dinner, I found myself sitting at new tables this season, sacred spaces where healing took place, where stories were shared, where laughter made room for […]

Faith Farm Ministries Celebrates 75 Years of Faith and Restoration “A Church with a Heart for the Hurting”

To many South Floridians, Faith Farm Ministries is best known for its white trucks, crisscrossing neighborhoods and picking up donated furniture for its thrift stores. According to Rick Aspden, Faith Farm CEO, that visibility is both a blessing and a challenge. “The public image is that we’re a thrift store — and it drives me crazy,” Aspden said. “Yes, that’s what we do, but that’s not why we’re here.” In reality, the thrift stores are the engine that fuels one of South Florida’s longest-running Christian recovery ministries. In 2026, Faith Farm marks 75 years of providing free, long-term residential recovery […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins: A New Beginning

My father’s family moved to Texas from Tennessee back in the 1800s. When I was a boy, we would make our annual summer road trip back to the Volunteer State to visit, among others, my great-aunt Ann. I loved those long car trips in the days before interstate highways. I can still remember the excitement I felt when we passed a barn that had “Visit Rock City” painted on its roof or the fun of reading the old Burma Shave signs along the way. We’d stay in her house, and I slept on an iron bed with a feather mattress. […]
