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.

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. His response began to reorient my view of campus ministry, […]
