Imagine this: You are an artist and stumble across a blog that suggests you can radically transform your art knowledge and skills by participating in an Institute to develop the “Art of Painting Conversation.” The basic course will involve teaching and guiding you in the step-by-step methods/mindset of literally (vocally and in your mind’s eye) inviting Van Gogh to share a cup of coffee with you. Sounds pretty creative, doesn’t it? It tickles your fancy and tickles your ears so...

On Preston Sprinkle and His Promotion of REVOICE

Preston Sprinkle seems to be upheld these days as a thoughtful, biblical “conversation partner” on issues of gender. He has a podcast called Theology in the Raw, and leads/hosts the so-called Center for Faith, Gender and Sexuality. Sprinkle is purported by himself and others to affirm the traditional, biblical design/definition for marriage, yet, if we deeply scrutinize his methods and connections, it leaves Christian listeners in murky, unclear waters. This link shows the lined up speakers for Theology in the...

After finishing up my earlier blog piece from today (WHAT IS “CRU” AND WHY DID THEY “CANCEL” JOSH MCDOWELL?), another online resource popped up (which I quickly subscribed to after listening to the initial podcast) relating to Preston Sprinkle’s recent interactions with Pastor Jared Moore on his Theology in the Raw podcast. I have now found myself subscribing to this Wokepedia podcast on YouTube (it is related somehow to EWIC News Site–“Enemies Within the Church”), along with a number of...

What is “CRU” and Why Did They “Cancel” Josh McDowell?

I recently was listening to some talks in which “CRU” kept being referred to–as though one should know the reference. A small amount of Googling revealed that CRU is the new name for Campus Crusade For Christ, and Wikipedia answered my secondary question of why/when did this take place: “In 2011, Campus Crusade for Christ changed its name to Cru. The name change was intended to avoid association with the word “crusade”, which can lead to offense, especially in Muslim countries....

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
