In this morning's sermon Joyce summarizes Genesis 29-31, the story of Jacob and his wives, drawing a fascinating connection between their lives and the curses and blessings of Bethlahem.

Pastor Joyce Swingle opens the Advent Season from the perspective of children: Mark 10:13-16. Pastor Jim Warren mentions Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of Thanksgiving and Praise, and how we've dropped the praise and forgotten to whom we should be thankful. Sandy R. introduced and led worship, incl...

Pastor Randy Solomon preaches from Romans 14:1-12. He says, "In Romans this whole group of people is coming together from different levels of faith, different levels of tradition, and they're doing things that are shocking one another.... Thankfully as a church in this day we don't have any di...

The Chinkins
By Rich
Sometime early in this millennium Joyce and I brought a couple of my one-man plays to a missionary retreat on the Costa Brava, near Barcelona, Spain. There we met some missionaries who used some little costumes they'd made to do Chinkin sketches. They kindly let us borrow them, and later we used th...

Some of those special moments of my career have been ones that I've looked forward to for months or years: Performing Beyond the Chariots for Eric Liddell's family, performing Off-Broadway with Roger Nelson--one of the fellows who inspired me to this career--the first time I walked into a the...

Your short bit in Christmas Grace was memorable. You generally seem to be a pretty natural actor. You're good at locking in and responding and not anticipating or giving away subtle "tells." You make your takes look as though they are happening for the first time, which is great. I felt li...

Hattie Kauffman spoke at the latest Mastermedia NYC event, and shared the story she kept buried for decades. While the Emmy-award-winning journalist was interviewing leaders of state, Olympians and astronauts she was still reeling from the pain of growing up in a family split by alcoholism. Her pa...

I just did ADR (additional digital recording) for the film Rather to Be Chosen, in which Joyce and I play the parents of the protagonist.

Zack Lawrence, with whom I'll be teach this summer at the Rocky Mountain Christian Filmmakers Camp, said every Christian in America should watch Seven Deadly Words. It tells the story of a church at a crisis, and dealing with it in some ungodly ways, which leads to a poor witness to the hurting wor...

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce that Joyce and I have resigned from The MasterWorks Festival.
I’ve been a part of the Festival every year since theatre was introduced in 1999, and I’ve directed the theatre program for a full decade, so this was a terribly hard decision, but we make ...

It was brought to my attention that YouTube is blocking some of my videos when users are in Safety Mode. I assure you I haven't started uploading offensive content! It seems to be an issue for a lot of family-friendly YouTube channels including Lego films for children, fishing and frolicking dogs. ...
