Faith at Work at Exxon-Mobil: A Conversation on Too Good to be False
A few weeks ago the Christian Community at Exxon-Mobil (Houston Campus) invited me to share with them on Too Good to be False. The host is Samuel Ortiz. I have to tell you, it was encouraging for me to be with some 85-90 people for a lunch-time fellowship there....
My Puzzling Problem with Too Good to be False
I’m looking for some help. Here’s the challenge I’ve been facing. It’s a good one; I’m not complaining; but it’s also a head-scratcher. I’m sure you’ve heard them (whoever “they” are) talking about “elevator pitches.” I’m supposed to come up with one for Too Good to be False: How Jesus’...

Episode 16: Jesus’ Incomparable Authority (from Luke 4 and 5)
Jesus heals in Luke 4 and 5, and we’re used to reading about his doing that. There’s more to it than meets the eye, though: Unexpected authority in teaching, unexpected authority in forgiving, and unparalleled wisdom in giving a paralyzed man something he needed even more than legs to...
Why I’m Not Answering Non-Serious Objections to Too Good to be False
I’ve been looking forward to serious skeptical answers to Too Good to be False. Unfortunately after a couple responses, especially a recent one on YouTube by “Paulogia,” I’m still looking forward to it. This wasn’t one of them. There’s an expectation that an author will answer challenges such as...
Episode 15: Jesus, the Hometown Hero?
Jesus’ first message in Luke was to his hometown crowd, who wanted to make him their hometown hero. See his integrity in action as he holds on to his true identity and mission. Based on material in my book Too Good to be False: How Jesus’ Incomparable Character Reveals...
