article January 26, 2019

I mentioned Football Sunday in a blog a few weeks ago, but it's still not too late for your church to use some or all of the resources to make Super Bowl Sunday a day of outreach and spiritual growth. The video can also be used in any home watching the game. One great idea is to use it as a positive alternative to the halftime show!

article November 30, 2018

I first heard Jackie Hill Perry at the Canvas Conference in Portland a few years ago, where we both spoke. Jackie writes like a word artist, which is exactly what she is. Gay Girl, Good God is poetry of sorts, at times with a cadence, and I was almost spellbound listening to it.

article October 31, 2018

I’ve written in the past about how highly Nanci and I recommend The Valley of Vision, the book of Puritan Prayers.

Get into God’s Word with The Bible Project

article July 9, 2018

Nanci and I often watch one of their 5 to 10 minute videos at dinner, and our discussion takes off from there.
