... 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...

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:

Joyce wrote an excellent article inspired by the Off-Broadway play October 7, playing in New York City through June 16, and it includes videos we took before (of the playwright, Phelim McAleer, and two cast members, René Ifrah and Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb) and after (our responses to the play...

"Honoring Israel in NYC"

Lord, thank You that New York City is hosting events to help its citizens respect and protect the Jewish people. May other cities honor Your Chosen People.

At least three events in...

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...

I just had one line, but the show runner, Janet Porter -- architect of the Heartbeat Bill -- liked the character! She expan...

On the National Day of Prayer in 2022 we prayed over several Broadway theatres. We've been too busy to organize something like that this year, but I wanted to do one #PrayOverBroadwayLive today. Please join me in prayer...

Today on Headline Prayer Live Joyce and I led prayer inspired by a number of articles, including Joyce's, "Hope for Campuses Under Siege," posted with three videos of material from Columbia University: 

Lord, forgive those raging against Israel. Bless these enemies, and bless the Jewis...
