Mere Christians

By Rich

I'm staying here in Chicago with the father of Melissa Hawkins, who performs the one-woman play, Juliet: A Dialogue About Love. Wheaton College Church, where I miraculously performed tonight, asked the Kapps if they'd host me. Later he realized Joyce and I had hosted Melissa in '07. I had met her ...

12 on 12

By Rich

When I sent out a prayer request this morning for more soccer players on the set of ( For the Glory we had one full team of 12 and an opposing team of two. By the time we needed them we had 12 on 12. Looks like God's finger prints to me, and a sure sign that He'd answered our prayers!

Today was...

Available for performances in Asia

By Rich

Scripture and church history are filled with art and story, and over the years I've seen those stories inspire, bring hope, salvations and re-dedications when told dramatically. And they're memorable. My wife got her MA in counseling, and she learned that memory is linked to emotions. I recently had...

Collegiate recommitment

By Rich

Claude Chew's musical partner in tonight's concert is Dr. Andrew Lenhart, on piano. He shared how the faith of his childhood was brought into question by college professors. So he went to books like GK Chesterton's Orthodoxy and found that Christianity holds up from an intellectual standpoint.

The real Al Ross

By Rich

To me, Al Ross has only been a character in the screenplay until today. As the screenplay indicates, he was the one who convinced Kurt Kuykendall to try out for the college soccer team. I've been picking Al's brain for stories about his coach, so that I can play Coach Ryan more effectively in the f...

The camera is rolling on For the Glory

By Rich

My character isn't on today's call sheet, but one of the characters mocks my character's Scouse (Liverpool) accent. I'm here to make sure we're on the same page with the dialect.

It's great to be on set day one and be there for our director's opening speech and prayer. He said that if any of the cast...
