Evangelism can be one of, if not the most, intimidating disciplines and acts of obedience for followers of Jesus. However, making the shift from knowing that you should do it to doing it naturally when you can is not as far away as you think. How is that? Simple. Not easy. But simple. Evangelism in the […]
The 5 Pictures of Multiplication
Several years ago, I rode shotgun in a church van during our town’s big music festival. We were doing “safe rides” back to campus—because nothing says college ministry like the combination of a church van, a late-night Taco Bell run, and a student who may or may not remember the ride the next morning. Shelby, […]
Team Player: Ministering to Student Athletes
“Let’s Go Cowboys! Let’s Go Cowboys! Let’s Go!” If I only had a dollar for every time I yell this during the week. I serve on a two-year campus where approximately 80 percent of the campus plays a team sport. I spend a lot of time going to games and team events. I arrived at […]

BCM and Church Partnerships
“You served as a pastor in Birmingham for years. Do you have any advice for me as I transition from AUM to serve as campus minister at UAB?” I asked Buddy McGohon, the Director of Missions of the Montgomery Baptist Association this question in 1999.
