"Evan Roberts Returns to Wales"

We just did an exploratory trip to Wales to re-dig the wells of the Revival that took place there in 1904 and 1905. We prayed alongside Dick and Gladys Funnell, who have been missionaries totally focused on praying for another Welsh Revival. People from 47 nations have joined them over the last two ...

Mac Nelson

I recently ran into a friend from the '90s and asked if I'd sent him the recording of the memorial service of Mac Nelson, whom we both knew back in those days when all three of us attended The Lamb's Church of the Nazarene on Times Square.  


Mac and I met soon after I moved from a 70-acre f...

Be Ready

On May 29 I did this teaching on 2 Timothy 4:1-4. I didn't have time to post it at the time, but it came up several times when we were in Europe: A new friend from Northern Ireland sent me a post referencing it with a story about John Wayne saying, "...John Wayne gives his heart to Jesus C...

Where Is Your Hope?

Joyce had a new epiphany while digging into her life verse, which became our marriage verse: Jeremiah 29:11. This morning at Westchester Chapel she covered verses 5-14. It's a great word to everyone in this volatile season.

Prayer for True Triumph in Paris
We were in downtown Paris today to meet her royal highness, Princess Anne, the patron of The Eric Liddell 100. More on that soon, but while we were there we took a moment to pray for the Christian athletes before tonight's opening ceremonies.

Another 100th Anniversary

... you know Eric Liddell refused to run the 100m because one of the heats would be run on a Sunday. Instead he preached in the Scots Kirk Paris, where I performed my one-man play about him 100 years later


What you may not know is that there were other races he wouldn't run because a heat woul...

The Missing Scene

If you've watched my performance of Beyond the Chariots at the Singapore Expo it's missing one of my favorite scenes. We had to trim the play to fit a larger service, and we needed to do that again at Summer Madness in Northern Ireland at the end of June. This time I got to perform the scene separat...

From Frankfurt

I'm posting this a bit out of order, but today, as I was making my way through Paris, I heard one of our pastors at Westchester Chapel preach on Jonah. It reminded me that I hadn't posted my report about my performance of my play about Jonah in Frankfurt on Independence Day:

The Scots Kirk Paris

Today was definitely a once in a lifetime event! We got to share Beyond the Chariots at The Scots Kirk Paris, where Eric Liddell preached one hundred years ago today, instead of running the 100m heat at the 1924 Paris Olympics. We added a once only scene to the play:

My Sources

Last night over dinner I was talking about sources I used in writing Beyond the Chariots, which we're about to take to Paris and beyond for the centennial of Eric Liddell's victory there. Then a few hours later I posted more details on social media, so I thought I’d share some more here:

I read ...

European Dress Rehearsal in an Off-Broadway Theatre

We're taking my one-man play Beyond the Chariots to Europe to celebrate the centenary (the British version of centennial) of Eric Liddell refusing to run the 100m to prove he was the fastest man alive because one of the heats was on a Sunday, July 6, 1924. We'll be performing my play about...
