Saturday, July 14th, 2007Besides being one of my first blogging friends, Tony Sheng has impressed me over the years because of his thoughtful and at the same time passionate approach to evangelism and global missions.

(Take a virtual tour here.) For three-plus hours [...]

Josh, keep up the great work! [...]

Germanic Mullet Boy – Hip Hop Superstar
Friday, February 9th, 2007Leave it to the Christian music industry to rely on a blond hair, blue eyed white boy from Hudson, Ohio to make hip hop palatable. But so it was, back in the early 1990s, when my partner Matt Stevens was a signature member of Gospel hip hop pioneer DOC (Disciples of Christ). Throw a brother [...]
