Dr. Debra A. Schwinn: Easter’s Impact On Your Calling 

As we approach Easter, there are numerous opportunities to remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made: defeating sin through his death and resurrection. The powerful truth of Christ’s love for humanity compels us to shine His love throughout every aspect of our lives. In this article by Dr. Jonathan Grenz, PBA Dean of the School of Ministry, he observes the power of the cross, God’s provisions, and what it means for each of us to shine the light of Christ in our relationships, contributions and vocation. Year after year, Easter inspires deep reflection as well as celebration for Christians around […]

Andrew Holmes: The In-Between

As I am writing this, we’re inching closer and closer to Easter, and with that I’ve been thinking a lot about the “in-between.”  Like a lot of you, I have spent my entire life in church, so the Easter message is one I know well and can count on year after year. We know the darkness of Good Friday, and the sting of death – we’ve likely reckoned with our own sin and the brokenness of this world that led Jesus to that cross. And, of course, we know Sunday, we know Sunday so well! The power and salvation that […]

Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: Is It a Problem When Parents Do Not Agree?

Is it okay for a husband and wife to disagree on the way they parent their child? This is a question asked a lot! It is not only okay; it is natural! It is actually in the top three areas of conflict in a marriage We all arrive at the wedding ceremony operating from different backgrounds, raised by different parenting styles and with different temperaments. It stands to reason that our differences are going to be most impassioned and challenging when it comes to dealing with our greatest areas of interest — our children. The differences in opinion are not […]

Faith and artistry intertwine in the work of Peter Olsen, an award-winning South Florida artist who has spent decades transforming Scripture into breathtaking visual narratives.

Chris Simpson: Blinded To Our Blessedness

This week, I read an article by an American evangelical writer — someone who, by his admission, primarily writes for European and African audiences. Like much of his recent work, this piece was deeply critical of the current American administration. A well-known global Christian organization then amplified it, sharing it with a vast audience. I commented, and to his credit, the author reached out. We had a respectful exchange, and he invited me to respond on his blog. I prefer to journal about it in my own forum. So here it is. For American evangelicals — hear me — I […]

Carter Brown: For Such a Time as This: Church United Miami

Miami has long been known for its beauty, vibrancy and global influence. But for decades, it has also been hard soil for cultivating deep unity among the Church — a place where connection and collaboration among pastors and Christian leaders has often been fragmented, siloed and marked by competition. Yet, something is changing. Last month we formally launched the Church United expression in Miami — a moment years in the making — and one we believe is ordained for such a time as this.  “God is doing something new in South Florida by bringing churches and leaders together to foster […]

Stephan Tchividjian: The 21 Day Slow

I typically don’t like to fast. I understand that people will fast sometimes for health reasons; this is not the fast that I am talking about. The fasting I am talking about is the biblical kind. I know fasting to be important as it’s encouraged throughout the Bible and modeled by many. I know that there are many benefits to this type of fasting. The clarity and focus that occurs as one intently focuses on Jesus is something supernatural. I have dear friends who fast regularly for extended periods and speak of its benefits. I still don’t like to fast. […]

Franklin Graham: Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord

The horrific images are seared in my mind from my visit several weeks ago to Southern California following the devastating wildfires that killed more than two dozen residents and destroyed $250 billion worth of property. Street after street, mile after mile, nothing remains among the ashes except a few chimneys and some other charred remnants where houses, schools and businesses once stood in the Eaton and Pacific Palisades fire disaster areas.  Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains have been there ministering to displaced residents, firefighters and the entire community. Pray for these families as they try to determine whether or […]

Dr. Debra A. Schwinn: Creating Change Makers Through Christ-First Higher Education

Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) has long been a place where tomorrow’s leaders can grow in wisdom, lead with conviction, and serve God boldly. In the last year PBA has been recognized as the third fastest-growing institution in the nation for applications, and for the third consecutive year, we celebrated our largest incoming class. This surge in enrollment reflects a significant trend: today’s students are increasingly drawn to a liberal arts education deeply rooted in Judeo-Christian principles. While we carefully measure our successes at PBA, celebrating initiatives and milestones that strengthen the light we shine for His Kingdom, I believe the […]
