Our friend, John Kasica, preached on holiness this morning. He shared how, nine months ago, the Lord called him to walk in holiness and share the message at MasterWorks.

Jimmy Sites spoke to the students about the impact of media on culture: phenomenal! Mincayani, who speared Nate Saint and later helped raise his son, Steve, made this spear for Jimmy when he was filming a documentary on the tribe in Ecuador.

This morning Dr. Kavanaugh, artistic director of the MasterWorks Festival, spoke on bold humility. He challenged us to be the best artists we can be not so we can be at high places and live a little better those around us, but so that we can have a platform to share the Hope which lives within us. A...

We just closed out week one of the MasterWorks Festival.

We're exhausted in an exhillerating sort of way. Our play, A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, is cast, and blocking is well under way. I'll post seperate reports on our fabulous master class instructors Jimmy Sites (host of...

I've performed several times in Bill and Melanie Jeschke's church, just outside Washington DC.

While my brother and I were at the new Air and Space Museum (see posting from earlier this week) our tour guide ended by telling about this plane, flown by Bob Hoover, who would have been the first man to break the sound barrier if Chuck Yeager had fessed up to his injury. The guide said Hoover woul...

In February I performed Beyond the Chariots in Hong Kong. After the performance several of us were kicking ourselves that Jim Taylor didn't say something about his experience in the concentration camp with Eric Liddell as a boy. We wished we could have used his talk to drive the message of the play...
