Prayers for Commissioner Chris Latvala

I have learned that Pinellas County Commissioner Chris Latvala is in urgent medical condition and in need of prayer. Although Chris and I are no longer friends and have had our differences, I want to set that aside today. Life is short, and moments like this remind us what truly matters.

The Bible says in Matthew 5:44, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” It also reminds us in Galatians 6:2 to “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Today I am asking all who know Chris, including his friends, colleagues, and constituents, to join me in praying for his healing, for peace and strength for his family, and for wisdom for those providing his care.

Whatever differences may exist, this is a time for grace, compassion, and prayer. Lord, please bring comfort, healing, and strength to Commissioner Latvala and to those who love him.

Please keep Chris and his family in your prayers tonight.

Discord has drawn increased attention in recent weeks after reports that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing used the platform.

⚠️Parents, please take this seriously: 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝.
Families are reaching out to me with private stories of predators pushing their children to this app. It often begins with a simple conversation on a game like Roblox and then maliciously, methodically and intentionally shifts to Discord, where anonymity makes it easier for predators to operate and harder for law enforcement to track. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐁𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. The State of Florida has subpoenaed Roblox over this. New Jersey and Louisiana are suing Roblox and Discord. Roblox is the hunting ground, but Discord becomes the portal to progression of predatory harm.
If your kids are on Discord, the risks are very real. You may not see what’s happening until it’s too late.
Protect your children. Remove the app from their devices and talk with them about why. It’s one of the most effective steps you can take right now to keep them safe online. Share this message.

Get. Your. Kids. Off. Of. Discord.

Discord is a portal to hell. Get your children off Discord.

I’ve warned your parents previously to keep your kids off of the chat app discord.

Turns out the shooter was communicating with his friends over the same discord I’ve warned you about.

There are over 2 million real estate agents in America. Every day they walk into empty houses, meet strangers alone, and put themselves in risky situations without even realizing it.

My last post on situational awareness really connected with people. This weekend, I’m writing a new one specifically for real estate agents — and after that, one just for teenagers.

👉 Refined by Fire by David Happe is free on Substack, and what’s coming next could literally save lives.

Please share this with your friends, family, and especially a real estate agent you know.

People talk about wins, but not losses. My losses set up my wins, as I scaled and sold companies. I needed somewhere to share my scars, and Refined by Fire will feature my non-AI, unfiltered writing for my kids, my friends, and you.

States are moving. Families are suing. The pattern is clear. Predators initiate contact on Roblox, then push kids to Discord to groom, coerce, and arrange meetings. Roblox has failed to protect kids.
