Love Brings Change The jpg here was used for a flyer for the UC Berkeley Black Campus Ministries event. The theme of the evening is Love Brings Change, with a cross. The image resonates with people who are familiar with the Obama t-shirts and posters that had a red-blue-beige posterized look. It poignantly points to Christ as our hope for change, not in any political leader.  (more info)

On Reasons and Believing the Christian Message In this talk I investigate whether it's rational or reasonable to believe the Christian message. Do we need evidence to believe? If not, why not? But if so, what counts as evidence? Who decides? On what basis? I want to address the subject of whether bright, thoughtful people—such as people who teach and study in the universities of the world—people who do not yet believe the Christian message—people such as these, do they have good reason to believe? Hopefully this talk will help Christians better understand these issues as well. For thoughtful Christians, of course, the issue is should they believe what they have believed? This is a little piece of religious epistemology and apologetics.  (more info)
