​​We hope you're enjoying this Holy Season! We both had opportunities to dramatize the Christmas story this year, and we hope they both bless you...

Joyce appears as the Shepherd's Daughter, who remembers the night the angels appear to the shepherds as found in Luke 2:8-20.

"Average Joe Brings Extraordinary Hope"

Lord, thank You for inspiring world-class filmmakers to tell the story of Joe and Denise Kennedy and ...

Joyce and I used Psalm 118 to lead Westchester Chapel in celebrating our gratitude for our country, community, and Christ:

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 ...

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...

On May 29 I did this teaching on 2 Timothy 4:1-4 from North Carolina. 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 g...

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

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...

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: 

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: 

This annual Christian youth festival has been running since 1987. Here's our report before the Madness begins...

Here's our schedule: 

Pray for my brain as I'm prepping for these three plays and a sermon:
