Before I jump into the podcasts I listen to, I’m going to describe how I use podcasts. First, my podcasts currently fall into two categories: things that I want to learn about and things that help me escape.

This semester is shaping up to be my busiest yet, but I’m working on a series of posts. The primary intent of these posts is going to be to help equip other college ministry leaders with some of the resources that I’ve found particularly helpful in personally preparing me to do ministry and also resources […]

And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

Yes, I’ve read the book. No, I haven’t seen the movie (yet). Yes, I enjoyed it–I’d even recommend it. No, it’s history isn’t very accurate (including the facts page). Yes, I tried to write a longer version of this post and the browser crashed (twice). No, I’m not going to expose all the inaccuracies of […]
