I got to celebrate Independence Day in Northern Ireland with high school friends,  David N Tricia Howell. It was significantly cheaper for me to fly into Dublin than London for The Dragon and the Raven, so I planned an extra night in Ireland, hoping to connect with the Howells, who minister an ...

I attended the Swahili service here this morning with  Alice Wamboi Maina, whose mother helped raise my mom and aunt in Kenya. It was such an incredible, exuberant expression of love, joy and faith! At one point the pastor prayed that a tsunami of the Lord's love would flood the hearts of terr...

One of the great blessings of The Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp this year was that Paul Leavitt was on hand to do headshots for everyone at no additional charge! I had a beard at the beginning of the camp, and then I shaved it off strategically. Not all of the stages are finished, but her...

We just got back from a pre-release screening of Inside Out, Pixar's look inside our minds. We enjoyed it very much, just not as much as Brett Varvel's The War Within, which took numerous awards last year, looking instead into our souls.

My preference lies mainly in the fact that, according to Ins...

If I had to pick two words to sum up Rich, they would be that he is so alive and so vibrant! I cannot even begin to describe my admiration for his work and his wholehearted devotion to Jesus. I can't wait to work with him again in the future, Lord willing!

Wow. I remember being at MasterWorks a year or so after 9/11 and seeing this drama. There wasn't a dry eye in the room - the all guys row behind me was sniffling all throughout. I wish I could see it again, but it made a deep impression on me, and brought healing to our group. Thank you for sharing...

About a month ago I got to perform at Alistair Begg's church. This performance was the answer to a five-year prayer, which started when friends dropped by my office in NYC before a performance at Carnegie Hall. They said their pastor, Alistair Begg, may be interested in hosting Beyond the Chariots, ...

Eighteen years ago today Joyce and I met in this precise spot at Camp Taconic. We'd been told by friends that we'd meet our soul mates at the retreat, and we certainly did!!!
