I love it when an artist with a long career finds a way to create songs that sound new, sound like what is current, without losing the qualities and characteristics that make the artist unique. I want an album that sounds like it was made in the year I'm living in, but I don't want the artist to get lost in what's current. I want to see them find themselves in what's current. ... Read More

You know what we need more of in our life? Star Wars fan fiction. If that was on your mind, first of all, we may have become best friends. Secondly, I have something perfect for you. Brendan Banks is an indie director who just last month posted what life would be like for a marooned Imperial scout trooper on a world as they hunt for a single Jedi. I won't spoil it, but know this is not a 30 second Vine length video or a cheesy, cobbled together video. This is actually really well made. ... Read More
You are reading a post in the series “Facing the Raven,” which is itself part of our larger “Science Fiction & Biblical Reality” series that can also be read in Finding Faith Inside the Big Blue Box: A Whovian’s 30 Day Devotional.

The theme of stories or fairy tales or the adventures one has with an ... Read More
If you did not know, I'm a moderator over at Theology Gaming, a closed Facebook group which has the common ties of Christian faith and gaming. The group is open to anyone who would like to join, but it's designed to be a safe place for Christian gamers who love video games, board games, and all things nerdy. The group has, in the last six month to a year, developed a bit of a feedback look that has been regularly talking about discernment with regards to playing violent and sexually provocative ...

I'm currently on year eight of a two-year Master's program —kids, job change, etc— and this semester I had my first class back on campus since 2011. The class I'm taking is a research class, which means that, on any given night, I'm carrying 200 sheets of paper (journal articles), three books, two notebooks, a laptop, and a tablet on my back. Each week, I became increasingly worried that my messenger bag would give out. Then, I got an offer to review the Varsity Elite backpack from Solo. ... Read More

We are doing it again. Last year was a huge success as we were able to raise $500, of which my team raised $165. The whole charity was able to raise $7.3 million dollars last year.

Would you be willing to give to the cause and help me reach my goal of getting $100 for Akron Children's Hospital? ... Read More
