Rather than write a journal entry, I thought I’d project a journal entry. Specifically a journalcast. Not too long ago I gave a speech; some would say a message. It was a speech about things that I consider to be at the heart of what I believe and at the heart of what I think the university I serve is to be.

The title of the address is, “In, Not Of”; in it I explore what it means to teach, learn and live in two worlds. My thoughts come from reflecting upon Jesus’ prayer in John, Chapter 17. I hope you have the time to watch and listen (it was presented at the NNU Baccalaureate). Thanks for listening and thinking about His call, His design for us.

From the Baccalaureate Ceremony, May 2009.
