What Is World’s AIDS Day? It’s A Chance at Brotherhood.
My friend Jena Nardella sent me this letter, which she sent to friends and supporters, on a day that is very vital to her field of work: humans.
I remember sitting in my medical microbiology class at Whitworth University as an aspiring nursing student, trying my best to understand the path and patterns of science and the way diseases affect the body.
I was struggling as a student, primarily because my passion for caring for the sick was unmatched by my inability to walk into a ...
For Love of People
Inciting Incidents, a book I have had the pleasure of curating and editing for Moody will be released September 1st.
The book’s title is inspired by the film world, in which “inciting incidents” are events (good or bad) that push the story forward.
Jeff Goins, David Hickman, Blaine Hogan, Tracee Persiko, Stephanie Smith, Mandy Thompson and David Wenzel joined me in putting their own inciting incidents onto paper. There’s also ample wisdom and inspiration for making the most of your own inciting incidents.
As you consider clicking over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble to show your love for the project, check out the media our team has created to help introduce you to the book’s content. It includes an NPR style radio series, a chapter excerpt, some freebies and a chance to share your own story all found at IncitingIncidents.org.

John Grisham gave a snazzy interview about the life of a writer whose ...
The Right Kind of Controversial
Offended by the caption pasted across this girl's face? Me too.
But before you do a U-turn, I hope you head over to People of the Second Chance and check out their new campaign called “Labels Lie: Don’t Accept Them. Don’t Use Them.”
My friend and POTSC founder, Mike Foster, is using this series to challenge people to adopt acts of grace ... like committing not to use or accept hurtful labels.
I've had the chance to edit and work on several projects for POTSC, ...
