I've been interviewed twice on The Dove, which broadcasts from Southern Oregon, where I grew up. Here I've posted an interview I did after our trip to Puerto Rico, Romania and London during the 2012 Olympics. After that I posted a music video by a young woman we worked with at the Arts Camp in Roma...

Our Bible study at Westchester Chapel has been going through a fascinating exploration of how the design elements in the Tabernacle, which was given directly from the Lord, speak to us as Christians today. We typically don't record these lessons, but Eva P., the woman who taught the lesson this mor...

I'm praising the Lord that I got to perform in all three films which won the top prizes for independent features at the Winnipeg Real to Reel Film Festival: Polycarp, Princess Cut and Beyond the Mask.

I went to seminary with students who were there because they watched The Jesus Film in their heart languages. It has now been translated into more than 1000 languages. Our denomination, The Church of the Nazarene, began a partnership with The Jesus Film in the mid '90s that has helped us...

I've just added a talkback after the final screening of Providence at the AMC Empire Theatre on Times Square, TONIGHT at 7:10PM. I play a lead role in this modern silent film, told only through visuals and an eclectic indie soundtrack.

Both the teenaged actors (Josh Allen and Stacey Bradshaw) and the 40-ish adults (Juli Tapken and Rich Swingle) deliver low-key, natural performances. People unused to communicating emotions without words might be tempted to overact, but they don’t.

I just got a request for some tips for getting started as a Christian actor, so I thought I'd write a response here.
First, I recommend staying close to the Lord. If you're not, you will be turned this way and that by the ideas of this world, no matter what industry you enter. Get plugged into a C...

Congratulations Rich, on 20 years as a full-time professional actor! Your passion for God and for your craft shine true and strong.

Our church, Westchester Chapel, decided to cancel today's Bible study and service since the blizzard prompted the governor to declare a state of emergency for our region. The sermon planned for today will be preached next week, so for this morning I've recorded the sermon I prepared for Providence...
