Seriously, MJ? You're "the light of the world"?I think not.

This week on Listening In, the second part of my conversation with the Rev. Dr. Anthony Steinbronn, who with his family spent a number of years in Africa as missionaries.This week, the conversation centers around his family's cultural learnings during their time in Africa, and the readjustment that was necessary when they returned to the States. It was a big adjustment for all of them--

This week on Listening In: Out of Africa. Part one of my conversation with Lutheran pastor and missionary, Rev. Dr. Anthony Steinbronn.We had a great talk a few weeks ago, about the years his family spent in Africa and the impact it had on their lives together, on their practice of the Christian faith as a family and as individuals, and what it was like returning to the United States-- where

I watched "Surrogates" last night. Bruce Willis' latest flick, while maybe not the best movie of the season, has some great action scenes-- and poses some surprisingly insightful questions about what it means to be human.In a world where humans never leave their homes, and interact only through robotic surrogate bodies (which have been upgraded from their human counterparts in looks and physical

New show up at The Crossroads Radio Network-- a reflection on the spiritual side of gardening, and how growing my own food has brought me just a little bit closer to Jesus.Here are some pics from the garden, from seedlings to harvest:The garden has become a place for quiet reflection and prayer, time spent in God's creation-- getting my hands dirty and working in the soil, keeping the garden

Turns out, people who work in the national security field aren’t all like Jack Bauer in “24″. National security in the real world, Grace tells me, is as much a possible vocation for followers of Jesus Christ as being a school bus driver or a teacher.This week on the show, a conversation with Grace about vocation, serving your neighbors, and why she really won’t be working in an undisclosed bunker

When I heard that my brother in law, Eric, was a Star Trek fan, I had visions of little nieces and nephews running around with Spock ears and Worf masks, speaking Klingon to one another at family gatherings. Oh no, I thought-- my sister married a Trekkie.But when I sat down with Eric, to talk about why the story of Star Trek appealed to him, and how the story helped him find some good in the

I had a great conversation with Anne T. the other day, in which we talked about hokey conversion stories, Touched By An Angel, homeschooling, and planting a church next door to a bar. You can listen in, as soon as it's live on The Crossroads Radio Network at Live365.com (see the link in the sidebar).She made an interesting observation at one point-- we were talking about how she was going to
