Phil and Lucina Dooley have been named global senior pastors of Hillsong Church after serving as interim global senior pastors over the last year. The husband and wife team stepped into the interim role following the resignation of founder Brian Houston last March. "We believe, that is the global senior board believe, that they have got the spirit of leadership on their life. And as we have come to see them more closely, as you have come to see them more closely, you can see that they follow the Lord wholeheartedly. That they are Jesus followers," Stephen Crouch, chair of the Hillsong Church Global Board, told the congregation before prayers were offered for the couple. Read more.

A study published in the journal Contraception has revealed that pregnancy centers are more likely than abortion facilities to offer supportive services to pregnant women and less likely than abortion clinics to charge them for pregnancy tests or ultrasounds. The nationwide "mystery caller study," which surveyed 445 pregnancy centers and 445 geographically paired abortion facilities, included locations from all 50 states. The researchers also found that 68.5% of pregnancy centers in the study offer same-day appointments, compared to just 37.2% of abortion facilities. While 98% of pregnancy centers offer free pregnancy tests, just 16.6% of abortion clinics do the same. Meanwhile, the median cost for an ultrasound at an abortion facility was $162.50, while pro-life pregnancy centers never charged for the service. "It is worth noting that Contraception is not a conservative journal, and most of their articles do not portray pro-life efforts in a positive manner," Michael New of the Charlotte Lozier Institute told CP. "As such, the fact that a Contraception study found that pregnancy centers offer services that were both faster and less costly to women is powerful evidence of outstanding, life-affirming work done by the approximately 3,000 pregnancy help centers in the United States."

The National Institutes of Health is facilitating an ongoing, multi-million dollar mass medical experiment on vulnerable youth. Two of the young people involved in the research have died by suicide, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine documenting the psychosocial outcomes in transgender-identifying youth. "Most appallingly, on page 243 of the NEJM (and in a chart on page 245), these two tragic suicides are casually documented and reduced to mere 'adverse events.' Young people who were being experimented on died by suicide and all they can manage to say is 'Oops!'" writes CP Senior Investigative Reporter Brandon Showalter. In this editorial, Showalter exposes the questionable methodologies of such research, asserting it is time to ask the NIH why the suicides of two participants were not enough to stop the study and investigate the deaths and the researchers in charge.

Novelist Beverly Lewis became a household name following the success of her bestselling trilogy, The Heritage of Lancaster County. In this interview with CP, Lewis explains that the stories are loosely based on the life of her maternal grandmother, Ada Ranck Buchwalter, who left her Old Order Mennonite upbringing to marry a Bible College student and was shunned by her community as a result. "I'm so tender-hearted toward this particular story because I really truly believe that God would not have led me to write about this cloistered society of Amish or Mennonites had this not happened to my grandmother Ada," Lewis said, adding that she views her novels as a form of ministry and a way to encourage people to see God's faithfulness in their own lives. Her books have been developed as a Hallmark TV series, as well as a musical stage play of the trilogy, titled "The Confession." Now, the story has been developed as a theatrical film starring Chonda Pierce and John Schneider that will debut in theaters on Feb. 20. Learn more.
