I opened our service at Westchester Chapel this morning with another report on how the Lord worked in the lives of the students at the  performing arts conservatory last week.  Dr. Linda Warren led prayer over Joyce and I, who will be ministering at a retreat in Ohio next weekend....

In 2001-2002 I played five roles in the musical Judah Ben-Hur in Singapore. So I went into an advance screening of Ben-Hur with a lot of hope.

I saw the film with a friend, and I held back from whispering, "I played that guy," five times during the film, so I'll share my delight here, wh...

I thought I might have posted this photo of me running steeplechase in college. I hadn't, but while searching I discovered a site that has posted my times in high school cross country and college track. At some point I'll have to pull out my track journal to update the high school track and colleg...

Eric Liddell's world record in the 400m was 47.6 on a cinder track with hand-dug starting blocks. The current world record is 43.03.

Liddell's time in the 100 yards of 9.7 seconds in 1923 stood as a British record for 35 years. That race is only 91.44m. A 100m preliminary during the 1924 Paris Olym...

This morning at Westchester Chapel I reported on  the performing arts conservatory where I facilitated all week.  Joyce teaches on Matthew 10:16-25. Rachel Taylor opens with Psalm 126, prayer and announcements.

I was challenged by Daniel Knudsen (who directed me in Creed of Gold, Rather to Be Chosen and Lifestone Velocity) to pray seven nights for our nation on Facebook. I've been praying the Armor of God ( Ephesians 6:10-18) over America, one piece a night. This morning during our service ...

You were outstanding in Indescribable. Such a blessing to watch.

Joyce and I just got to see an advance screening of Hillsong - Let Hope Rise, a film about the Australian band Hillsong United, that is as much worship service as it is documentary.

It was delightful to work with the cast and crew of One Day a few weeks ago in Illinois! There were powerful and moving performances by Andrew Hurt, Rich Swingle, Kari Fabian, Tim Kaiser, and our other actors. We all really benefited from Rich Swingle's work as our acting coach.

This year at the Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp we produced a short film, "Felicia's Pledge," which follows another character from the novel In His Steps. I got to reprise my role of John Gray and Ken Lawrence, the director of Film Camp, reprised his role as Pastor Henry Maxwel...

I've been mentioned again in the George Fox Journal, the alumni magazine for my alma mater. This one, on page 27, mentions my role in Providence.

The last mention was an article on my career: " A Class Act."

I've had the great privilege of witnessing your ministry at a Salvation Army music camp in Canada about 10 years ago. I recall your performance on Revelation as John. That awesome ministry and performance has been a great influence. Thank you.

I was visiting Medford Friends Church (Evangelical Friends Church International), where I attended from third grade until I went off to George Fox University (then College). The current pastor, Jesse Davis, saw me perform when he was in junior high.

I was deeply moved by Jesse's sermon on Phillip ...

I perform in two films featured this Saturday at the GloryReelz Christian Film Festival. Sharon Campbell Wilharm interviewed me about the roles:
