Last updated on: October 4, 2012 at 2:22 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Americans sure love to talk about religion. And many are riled about about whether or not they think the U.S. is, or should be, a “Christian nation.” If they knew what they were talking about, they might even make a difference. How many of those in the debate have ever actually read and studied their scriptures? (more…) Read more

Last updated on: October 4, 2012 at 3:11 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I hope you enjoy this presentation of my visit to Encounter 10, the 2010 arts conference hosted by International Arts Movement. This talk was my response to a question posed to me by the IAM team.
