Hope Women’s Centers – Creating a Culture of Life

Life hung in the balance on November 5, 2024, as Floridians went to the polls. A coalition of pro-life advocates, including pastors from around the state, had worked tirelessly to educate people on the dangerous and deceptive wording of Amendment 4, a ballot proposal to allow abortion in Florida up to the point of fetal viability – a term they failed to define. “If it had passed, the most dangerous place in the state would be the mother’s womb,” said Rob Pacienza, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. Joy Wright, executive director, and the team at Hope Women’s Centers, faith-based […]

Omar Aleman: This Land Is My Land

“Location, Location, Location”…that is what Jeff McCullough found on the cold floor of a Baltimore jail office after six months of internment. Originally stopped for a minor traffic offense and mistaken for a killer of the same name, he remained incarcerated despite not being convicted of a crime. All attempts by his attorney Arthur Kirkland to set him free had been unsuccessful mostly as a result of the enmity between the lawyer and the presiding judge. Finally, in desperation, after being sexually and physically assaulted by other inmates, Jeff seized two hostages and barricaded himself. Arthur was called to the […]

From His lips came an astonishing claim: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. […]

Lisa May: Emptiness

The holidays are often painted as a season of joy, celebration and connection, but for many, it can be a time when emptiness feels especially heavy. The glittering lights and festive music can serve as painful reminders of what feels absent — a sense of peace, purpose or God’s presence. Emptiness during the holidays can stem from unmet expectations, grief over loved ones who are no longer here, the weight of family dynamics or personal struggles that don’t pause for the season. It’s easy to feel disconnected from the joy others seem to radiate or to wonder why God feels […]
