Speaking invitations come in all forms. You can contact me to invite me to speak. Sometimes people refer me to someone organizing a conference who might be looking for speakers, and I always appreciate those referrals.

Pioneers not Settlers
I just remembered a moment from my recent speaking engagement in Wyoming. This one came out kinda off the cuff. Continue reading “Pioneers not Settlers”
About The Bible
The Bible is the account of God’s action in the world and His purpose with all creation.
Forty authors, inspired by God, wrote the text of the Bible over the course of sixteen-hundred years, compiling a collection of books documenting God’s words about everything, from the creation of everything to the end of times. Continue reading “About The Bible”
