We really enjoyed Timothy Mahoney's first Patterns of Evidence film, Exodus. We watched a screener of his newest, Patterns of Evidence: The Moses Controversy, and we loved it! It's very well made, and, like the first one, it gives equal time to scholars on both sides of the issue.

Tomorrow night may be the last time you'll be able to see  Run the Race in a theater. I really thought it was a slam dunk, to add a metaphor from a third sport into the mix! It's about football playing brothers who switch over to track.

It was great writing, cinematography, directing, a...

Very recently I had the honor and pleasure to meet and work with Rich Swingle. He is without a doubt one of the most talented, creative people I know. He knew I had some personal connections to 9/11 so he shared his performance of “5 Bells For 9/11 NYC” with me. From the moment Rich walks on stage, ...

Joyce shared how
the Lord delivered her
from daydreaming.
This morning  Joyce taught on Isaiah 40:1-11 at Hope Community Church of the Nazarene. She opens with a story of how she was once hunted down and shot! You'll have to give it a listen. I did dramatic readings of the key passage.

Joyce and I were very pleased with the message and production value of the feature film Andy's Rainbow, about a mentally disabled young man and his friendship with a young woman.

When I was in high school a counseling teacher took us to a state mental institution, and after our tour he said to me ...

I was grieved to discover that my friend, mentor and colleague, Roger Nelson, has gone home to be with his Savior.

I was honored to read some of Roger's favorite Scripture passages and lead two of his favorite hymns at his memorial service on March 2, 2019.

Patterns of Evidence: Exodus was shown in theaters nationwide a couple of years ago, and Joyce and I saw it on Times Square. Many of the archeologists the filmmaker interviewed deny any evidence of The Exodus, but others point out that there is an abundance of evidence: a small (empty*) py...

There are a lot of great lines in Where Hope Lives, written by Marco Santiago (actor in " Colonel Papa Cubano"). My very favorite came after the show by Pastor Carter Conlin, who gave one of the best summations of Christmas I've heard: "Unapproachable Light (1 Timothy 6:16) wrapped Hi...
