Three Cheers for Rusty St. Cyr

I had the honor of working with Rusty St. Cyr for two years during my days at Bethany University. He’s one of a small handful of people that I’d consider shaping my “spiritual worldview” the most. Since then he’s had a baby and moved to George Fox University, a place that is truly blessed to [...]

So when it became decision time to buy a new camcorder, I knew I had to make the right choice. For the last couple of weeks my hand-me-down Flip camera was dying and I needed something [...]

Killing Momentum or Killing Consistency?

I had a talk today with Terrance Green, a friend and neighboring youth pastor about summer schedules and our weekly program. In a nutshell: we don’t know what to do.
