The evening was a celebration of life as Joy Wright, executive director of Hope Women’s Centers, announced that 770 abortion-minded women who visited their centers chose life for their babies so far this year.  Keynote Speaker Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International, shared how he got his start in the pregnancy help movement in the late 1980’s as a volunteer at Hope Women’s Centers and became passionate about their mission to encourage and equip […]

Lisa May: Buried Treasure

As you know, Florida is known for the beginning of space travel and the flight to the moon, but many don’t know that Florida is also known for buried treasure, hence the name Treasure Coast. According to the Spanish Fleet Society, ships loaded with Spanish treasure off the coast of Florida and Cuba in 1715 were shipwrecked due to a hurricane. More than 1500 people died. Hundreds of years later, treasure hunters off the coast of Vero Beach and Sebastian discovered gold and silver. Early in the 1960s, treasure hunter Mel Fisher found some of the 1715 Fleet but much […]

If you could choose any car to drive, what would it be?

This month, Good News Wants to Know…. If you could choose any car to drive, what would it be? It could be a car you’ve had in the past that you wish you still had or a dream car you’d like to have today. That’s easy: a 2002 Toyota 4Runner, which saw me through my years as a seminary student. I put thousands upon thousands of miles on it driving from St. Louis to Cape Cod and back to visit my then-girlfriend (now wife). It’s an amazing vehicle, and many times I’ve regretted selling it back in 2007 when we moved to the […]

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 […]

I recently was invited to pray at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. I was there as a private citizen, and it was an honor to turn our attention to the Lord Jesus Christ — our only hope — and ask for His hand of mercy and blessing upon our country. The convention met just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Hours after that failed attack during his speech, President Trump declared that it was “God and God alone” who protected him and spared his life. The bullet, fired from a […]

Stephan Tchividjian: What’s Wrong (with Me)?

Several years ago, Hans Rosling and his colleagues, in their book Factfulness, made the argument that the world, over time, is actually getting better. The team studied ten specific trends over world history and concluded that despite all the bad news and the ups and downs, things are actually improving. Really? I was inclined to dismiss their findings until I overlayed their findings with the impact of the Church over the past 2000 years and was not at all surprised that the impact of Christians on history aligns with their findings. Christians generally have had a very positive impact on […]

William “Bill” C. Davell, Esq., Tripp Scott, Good News Media Group, September 2024

The Good News provides a monthly column with important content having to do with topics from the legal community. This month features a conversation with Paul May and Manooch Azizi, associates at Tripp Scott.   Does artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to enhance attorneys’ work product? You betcha.    But can AI replace attorneys? Not so much – at this juncture, at least.    We all know Murphy’s Law – “if anything can go wrong, it will” – and that it has the tendency to rear its ugly head at the least opportune times. There is altogether too much […]
