Patrick J. Kelly: Treasure Hunt

If you were the devil, what would you do to keep people from God? Our AI model gave us this answer: If I were to embody the devil, I would seek to distract people; employing a variety of strategies that play on human weaknesses and desires such as: Manipulating desires and fears. This could involve promoting materialism; encouraging a relentless pursuit of wealth and possessions leading...
Antony Tchividjian: My God Story

I’m excited to share that I’ll be starting a monthly column in GOOD NEWS where I’ll be highlighting real “God Stories” from the front lines of organizations I oversee, Calvary House and Recovery United. Every month, I’ll share testimonies of redemption, restoration and lives being rebuilt — not because of a program, but because of what God is doing in the hearts of men and families. My hope is...
Omar Aleman: God Doesn’t Move Parked Cars

“Failing to plan is planning to fail”… fair enough, since this quote has been attributed to both Ben Franklin and Winston Churchill, wise leaders indeed. This judiciousness was missing during the siege of Constantinople (Istanbul) when the Byzantines left a gate unlocked causing the Turks to storm the city and destroy their empire. How about the lack of prudence of the White...

Leslie J. Feldman: The Chauffeur

From time to time, I just prefer to keep it lighthearted. Being reminded of some wonderfully entertaining stories about some of the great leaders in the kingdom, I submit a great story from the late Reverend Billy Graham. Before he died, Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement. When his plane arrived, there was a limousine waiting to transport him to his home. As he...
Dr. O.S. Hawkins: Rebuilders Take Personal Responsibility

“And I said: ‘I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments, please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we...
Joseph D. Kenner: Choosing Love Over Luck

As we step into March, we are reminded of four-leaf clovers and celebrations of “the luck of the Irish” surrounding Saint Patrick and St. Patrick’s Day. Store windows fill with shamrocks and leprechauns, and conversations are sprinkled with good fortune and playful wishes. It is a lighthearted time of year. Yet as followers of Christ, we know that the transformation of lives does not depend on...
Dr. Bob Barnes and Torrey Roberts: Raising Wise Kids in an AI World

Technology seems to be moving so fast that it is hard for us to keep up. It can make your head spin, chasing how to appropriately parent through it. We can’t ignore it, even though it does feel good to try to keep your household in a bubble. Babies born in 2026 will be known as generation Beta. Where Gen Z and beyond are known as tech and internet natives, Betas will be known as AI natives. This...

Dr. Rob Pacienza: Principals, Partners or Pawns? Parents’ Role in Their Child’s Education

Over the course of the past three-quarters of a century, the United States has undergone a process of intense secularization. This is not to say that most Americans have become atheists or that most Americans do not have religious views. Instead, it is to say that Christianity has been displaced from the default position and is now viewed as merely one option amid myriad worldviews, philosophies...
