Todd Hunter has been through just about every expression of American evangelicalism that exists and has come to rest in the Anglican Mission in America (AMIA). His journey has included stops at Calvary Chapel, Vineyard, Allelon, the Alpha Course, and the Emergent Village. In the latest issue of Christianity Today, Todd was asked about his time with the emergent church…
This past Saturday, I sat in for David Wheaton as host of "The Christian Worldview." Joined by two terrific guests, Ben Williams and Michael Craven, we discussed our culture's fascination with celebrity and the collapse of traditional marriage.
Tomorrow (07.11.09), I will be filling in for David Wheaton on his two-hour call-in radio show "The Christian Worldview."
TIME magazine's cover story this week, even amidst the mass hysteria about Michael Jackson, was about marriage ("Is There Hope for the American Marriage" by Caitlin Flanagan). Very well written, it argues that the destruction of marriage is having a brutal impact economically and socially on culture at large. Of course, we need only look across the Atlantic to see…
Each day this week, I will join Greg Wheatley on Moody Radio's Prime Time America for a 6 minute segment. PTA is Moody's daily afternoon drive time show.

My new friend Sean McDowell (yes, Josh is his dad) recently took a group of his students from Capistrano Valley Christian School on an unusual mission trip.

Christian Values Network: An Exciting New Way to Help to Summit Ministries
The Colorado Springs Gazette published my recent letter to the Editor in the Sunday edition on 3/13. In the letter, I responded to two terrible pieces published in our paper from the L.A. Times.
Over the last few months, I have been asked numerous times if I have read "The Shack" by William P. Young. My initial reaction is the same as whenever someone asks about the latest, greatest book: "No, I don't read most new books, especially those that are considered the latest and greatest by the most recent Christian celebrity author."
