God’s Not Dead…But Films Like This Should Be (Part 1)

Last updated on: January 10, 2017 at 3:06 pm   By Alan Atchison

Back when I was in college at the dawn of the 21st century, Christian films were just starting to explode onto the scene. Sure, religious-themed films have always been around to some extent, but it’s been just under twenty years since the era of the “Hey, we’re just as cool as Hollywood…no, seriously, we are!” types of Christian films began hitting the market.

Geek Goes Catholic: How Atheists, Comic Books and Eating Jesus Led me Home

Last updated on: March 28, 2014 at 10:09 am   By Jonathan Ryan

Prologue: Somewhere in the fields of Southern Indiana… Imagine, if you will, a boy. There is always a boy or a girl in these sorts of stories. He is blond and skeletal thin, running across the large green field beside his house. Star Wars, the St. Louis Cardinals, and Jesus are all jumbled up inside his head. If you asked him, he could talk about all three with equal passion. See him as he bikes around his small, Southern Indiana... Read more

Teen Author Boot Camp 2014: 3 Gates, Awesome Kids, and Jet Lagged Author

Last updated on: March 10, 2014 at 12:25 pm   By Jonathan Ryan

As I write this post, I’m a bit blurry eyed, tired, and my body isn’t entirely sure what time zone it’s in. However, I wanted to write this post without too much thought because I wanted to give my unedited feelings on my time at Teen Author Boot Camp. Let me get this out of the way; I had the time of my life. To refresh everyone’s memory, I instructed a class at a Teen Author Boot Camp on Saturday.... Read more

Teen Author Boot Camp 2014: Interview with Renee Collins

Last updated on: March 4, 2014 at 10:10 am   By Jonathan Ryan

  (In a few hours, I’ll be boarding a plane for Utah to speak at Teen Author Boot Camp. I’m beyond excited. One of the reasons is that I get to meet cool fellow authors like Renee Collins.) How did you get into writing? It sounds like such a cliche, but I’ve always been a writer. In high school, however, I wrote mostly angsty teenage love poetry to boys who absolutely didn’t deserve my fervent passion. It wasn’t until years... Read more

Last updated on: March 3, 2014 at 6:44 pm   By Jonathan Ryan
