Interview with Jerry McCorkle of SpreadTruth
I had the opportunity to meet some of the guys with SpreadTruth. They stopped by campus to talk with a few professors about a new discipleship training resource called “The Story.” “The Story” is an excellent way to train people in personal evangelism. In fact, it is one of the best resources I have seen [...]

The Past in Review
Summer is here. And along with summer comes vacation. In light of my plans to experience rest and family and refrain from blogging, I thought I would leave you with a few of my previous posts from the past year-and-a-half. That way, whenever you are having problems sleeping over the next several days, you can [...]

Christianization and the Vikings-Part 2
If you missed part 1, you may find it HERE. While I am certain that over the years, there were genuine conversions to the faith once for all delivered to the saints, most historians describe many tales of forced conversions and baptisms. In such cases, it is better to write of the Christianization of the [...]
The Christianization of the Vikings-Part 1
The other day my family and I went to our local Half-Price Books where I found a copy of The Vikings by Else Roesdahl. I have been doing some recent reading on the spread of the gospel to Scandinavia and how the gospel transformed a barbaric people, who eventually sent their own missionaries across the [...]

It’s a Small World
Of course, when my family and I visited Mouse-Land over Spring Break, we had to ride “It’s a Small World”–twice. My socio-anthropological tendencies helped make this attraction worth the $50,000 price tag to visit the Magic Kingdom. “It’s a Small World” satisfied my multicultural desires for the day. While I am not certain that Disney [...]
Innovation in Missions
Last week, my family and I visited Epcot in Orlando. It had been several years since my previous visit. We had a great time on the rides and visiting the World Showcase area in the park. One particular attraction caught my imagination. Spaceship Earth–the ride that is found within the golf-ball-looking structure at the park’s [...]
