The Meetingplace

I performed Beyond the Chariots last Sunday at The Meetingplace Church in Blacksburg, SC. The beautiful building was miraculously transformed from a chicken shed. A truck carrying sheetrock spilled a bunch quite near the church when they were getting ready to renovate it. Most of the sheetrock was...

Moral Storytelling

I just came across a great article by John Truby.

Here's an excerpt:

I don’t know why these stories of grand moral accounting have all appeared in movie theaters at around the same time. It may be nothing more than a fluke of production. Or it may be a reaction to a time when America’s pos...

Kerry Butler believes

Every Wednesday that I'm in town the songs of Xanadu keep my afternoon lively as the matinée of the Broadway hit reverberates through the Helen Hayes Theatre where I keep my office.
