In his book Share Jesus Without Fear, William Fay lays out an easy and attainable way for one to reach people for Christ. A former mobster, and prostitution house owner, Fay says that if “God can take somebody like me and change him, he can take anybody in your life and change him as well.”1 In an easy to understand, comprehensive way, Fay shows how to overcome your fears and witness to those who are lost. By breaking down the six most common excuses one uses not

Before last night I didn’t know who Tim Wise was. I went into this visiting writer session with an open-mind, unknowing of the exact topic that would be discussed. While sitting in the chapel, waiting for Mr. Wise to speak, I noticed a diversity of people in the audience, albeit majority were college students, but there were also people of different ages too. A woman I sat next to was talking about seeing Mr. Wise by the doorway and wanting to get a picture with him. I sat there listening to her excitement over him, and I wondered, “Who is this guy?” After it was over and done, I left the chapel with a lot of information to process. It wasn’t just what he said that made me think, but how he presented his view. That’s when it clicked, he didn’t

The next visit was a couple weeks after, the overall vibe was different. The vibe from walking in, her parents, the nurses…something was different. I couldn’t figure it out, and I didn’t figure it out until I got into Hunter’s room. I walked in to see her standing there, waiting for me with a warm and bright smile on her face. My smile grew so wide my cheeks hurt, and tears of joy ran down my cheeks. I ran over to her and pulled her into a hug, and for that moment, everything instantly became better.

Day 8. Jamie’s awake and becoming more alert, the doctors are wanting me to tell her about lose prior to her leaving the hospital, as much as I would love to, I don’t want to hurt her. Later that day Jamie asked for her cell, I handed her the phone but I told her I needed tell her something first. To my surprise, Jamie wasn’t as nearly as upset as I expected, in some ways I think she was relieved. I think she felt like, “Its finally over”. Jamie continued to recover and once she was released from the hospital, she checked into a recovery center and continues to do well today. Jamie has returned to her cookie cutter life and remains sober.

Although the small group of church goers were mostly elderly Caucasian people, they were diverse and friendly towards new individuals. Those who wore the traditional, elegant attire of a Sunday worship service greeted with a firm handshake and a gentle smile. On the other hand, those who preferred to wear casual outfits greeted with tight hugs and hearty laughter from seeing a new face. After talking to more than half of the attendants, it was evident that everyone knew a lot about each other. It was nice to hear that most of them had overwhelmingly positive words to say about the church itself. Then, I finally met the middle-aged pastor who was glad to see someone new and introduced me to his wife. She had a stoic expression and had nothing to say. Honestly, the wife’s silence struck me as surprising considering how the other people were talkative, but it is nothing to be overly concerned about. After all, it was almost time for the Sunday service to

On the night three days before her death, Gretchen Weirob and her friends discussed the afterlife and things of the like. I am going to argue that Weirob is right to claim that personal identity cannot consist in the sameness of an immaterial, unobservable soul. – 45 words

On a particular Sunday, several months ago, I was making my anxious rounds through the sanctuary, checking on the two thousand minuet details that go unnoticed by everyone but the Pastor and a few influential widows. There I introduced myself to an obvious visitor, a professional looking women in her mid 50’s. I asked if she was visiting, knowing the answer, and was pleasantly surprised to learn she was a Truett Professor doing what she described as a field trip, observing churches her students attend. As I walked her to a seat that hadn’t belonged to an elderly member for five decades, I went back to my duty, working the room and politicking the old crowd.

The pastor, Mitch Maloney, is the long time senior pastor at North Cleveland and has a very distinct style of preaching. It’s classic preaching that is heavily rooted in scripture, is pentecostal to the core, and features the occasional conservative political opinion. It appeals strongly to the older generation; however, Maloney has the ability to draw in attenders of all ages. This can be seen by the large number of Lee students in attendance every Sunday morning. Sunday morning evangelism is very “churchy”, but that should not carry a negative connotation due to the fact that North Cleveland is indeed a

I take the train every morning at 7:35 a.m. At the 34th street station to go to my summer assignment that is located on 56th Street. The ticket agent in the booth would always be there to say good morning to me, and I would wave back to him, and run to catch my train. On July 29, he stops me to ask me about my uniform, and I explain to him. I am a Cadet form the Salvation CFOT here on my summer assignment. He was surprised to know that the salvation was a church. I gave him a brief history about the Salvation Army, and he so impresses he wanted to visit the Corps. I gave him a snap shot of my testimony and how I was called to become an officer. I gave him the story of God’s great love of us that he sends his son to die for our redemption.

On Feb. 24, 2017, I lost Sean, and my wife,Sandra, in a car crash. It was a dark, rainy evening when the accident happened. Sandra had called to let me know that she had gotten off work early and said she could pick up our son, Sean, from soccer practice. I insisted on picking him up, but Sandra said it would be better if I were to stay with our sixteen month old daughter, Summer. After thirty minutes, I called them. Sandra answered the phone to tell me that she picked up Sean, but all of a sudden, I heard a crash, and then the call went silent. “Sandra?” I said quietly, and there was no reply. I yelled “Sandra?!” Yet, there was no reply, until I heard the siren of a fire truck. Suddenly, my entire world started collapsing.

Laura and Danny have now been separated for a month and three days. Laura has taken the kids and moved in with a friend from work. Laura has made improvements to her lifestyle such as: losing weight, dating again, visiting her friends and family at home, and receiving a job offer in El Paso to do something she is passionate about. Danny on the other hand, still doesn’t have a job, has declined to use self-care, has not been able to pay his bills, is drinking habitually, and is on the verge of potentially hitting rock bottom and harming himself. Kid has reintegrated himself back with his organic family and seems to be doing well. The curiosity about Laura and Danny’s situation has intrigued Kid to make a visit back to St. Charles, to check on his old friends. Laura makes an attempt to go back to her former home and collect some of her and the kid’s remaining personal items and to potentially speak with Danny about her moving to El Paso and accepting a new job. When she arrives she realized that Danny is in a horrible place, both mentally and physically. Danny admits that he doesn’t know what to do with his life since he has hit an all-time low. Laura offers assistance but Danny is reluctant. Kid visits afterwards and finds Danny in the same condition. Kid offers help to Danny and makes promises to him about starting over new. Kid eventually leaves after Danny falls asleep, leaving him in a bad situation.

Dr. Scalise’s exploration of Peter, John, and the lame man at the temple gate in Acts 3 is an example of how and why stepping into someone’s life can make a difference. A recent encounter I experienced. I believe, demonstrates what it looks like in today’s relationships. A young lady, who I have spent time mentoring, called to arrange a time to meet with me. My daughter was in town and taking time away from her was difficult. Knowing how this young lady has been struggling, I believed it was critical to not delay a meeting until it was more convenient for me. A few hours later, as we sat across from

I buzz him up and wait for the door to unlock.(the boy has his own keys he might be cute but I getting the door… ) as I predicted he opens the door

I entered into the worship service, unaware of what to expect. I was not familiar with this church, it was a non-denominational church, but the pastor had his roots in the A.M.E. Zion Church and branched out to establish his own church. I walked into the sanctuary prepared to participate in the Sunday School. I found a seat and readied myself to engage in some meaningful discussion. After sitting for several minutes, I asked one of the gentlemen who was standing at the front of the church if they had already started and where was the lesson coming from. He looked at his watch and indicated that he didn’t know if we had time for Sunday School. A puzzled look came over my face and I couldn’t help but express my confusion as I looked at
