Russell Wilson Isn’t Jesus

August 31, 2016 By Ryan Welsh

In 2012 the Seattle Seahawks drafted quarterback Russell Wilson in the third round who exceeded all expectations. The vast majority of third round NFL picks don’t even make the team, but Wilson not only made the team but won the starting job his rookie season before the regular season opener. In just four NFL seasons he has accumulated colossal undertakings: Super Bowl champion, two-time NFC champion, three-time Pro Bowl selection, Pro Bowl Offensive MVP and NFL Passer Rating Leader, just...

Does Your Church Hear The Gospel?

August 26, 2016 By Ryan Welsh

My friend and colleague recently said something that was reminiscent of a thought that I’ve often had.

It seems the right has moved further right, the left has moved further left and the centrists have lost all hope in the political process.

Real, extra-terrestrial life... Read more

What Is A Winged Creature?

August 12, 2016 By Ryan Welsh

What is a winged creature? Why the weird blog title? I assure you the title of this blog is not an attempt to be trendy, to gain readership or any other reason other than that it is the perfect title to capture the goal of this blog. The penultimate and final chapters of C.S. Lewis’ most famous work, Mere Christianity, are titled “Nice People or New Men” and “The New Man.” These chapters are the culmination of 31 previous...
