What is the Bible Primarily About?

Saw this video over at Zack’s place. Like him, I have been floored by reading the Bible through this lens. The Old Testament is an Easter egg hunt that has been so loaded with eggs it’s unfair. Once you start to see the Bible in this way, it’s pretty awesome. Please take a few minutes and let Tim Keller blow your mind, and like Zack said, if your pastor is not giving you this kind of stuff on a regular basis, kick him in the hind-parts.

Are BenandJacq Leaving the Field? Far from it.

July 19, 2010

I got a letter last week from a ministry partner that indicated they are coming off of our team, because we were “going to be working in the office for Campus Crusade and not out in the field with college young people.” He went on to explain how he will be supporting some folks from [...]

Tips for Online Ministry.

March 18, 2010

One of the reasons I am joining Campus Crusade’s regional team is to help staff and students in our region who have a felt need to be effective in online ministry, but lack the tools to do so. I’m by no means an expert, but one of my goals is to become just that over [...]

Building the Kindgom Using the Devil’s Tools?

March 13, 2010

Derek Webb’s album Ringing Bell has been ringing in my ears today. I got an email through our ministry locator from a minister promoting an upcoming event. It’s not a Campus Crusade affiliated event, as evidenced by the fact that I got alerted about it via our ministry locator. The locator is a tool specifically [...]

Sending Students Around the World, and Around the Block.

March 9, 2010

This past weekend, I got to spend some time at the annual missions conference at my old church in Murfreesboro, TN. Nothing motivates me more to get to our assignment at the regional office than telling others about what God is doing. Most of the time I just tell them with words, a few pictures, [...]

The Most Significant Thing.

February 1, 2010

After a great weekend leading the music at a conference in Atlanta (and thereby missing the second big snowstorm of the season in Asheville), I am overwhelmed again that God has called us to be on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. The conference this time around was “Preview”–so named because we use it as [...]

For those times when ONE blog isn’t enough…

December 22, 2009

For the next few weeks I’ll be manning the helm of not only this blog, but two (count ‘em) blogs for our winter conference. I won’t be the only contributor, but I will have a significant amount of input and veto power over everything that appears on them. The first is a live blog of [...]

Sending is a lot like planning a party.

October 22, 2009

Ever watched your team win the championship when you are the only one in the room who cares? I have. It was 2005, and UNC was playing Illinois. I lived in Middle Tennessee, and had to suffer through Kentucky basketball games anytime there was a Raycom conflict that season. The day of the championship game [...]

Building. I’d say the foundation is the key.

October 21, 2009

Utilizing my extensive training in the world of Lego blocks, I’d have to assume that a building is only as good as it’s foundation. So, looking at the second word in our organizational DNA, “build,” ought to give us insight not only into the methods, but the underlying premises of what our organization truly is [...]
