W. SCOTT LAMB: Interview with Thomas Lake, about the craft of writing

A few months ago I had the chance to interview Thomas Lake, an award-journalist and enterprise writer for CNN. He shared his thoughts about the craft of writing, the importance of reading in his development as a young writer, and how he sees deeper stories within everyday news.

W. SCOTT LAMB: Chelsen Vicari writes about ‘A Minister Who Moved a Mountain’

Chelsen Vicari wrote: "Looking about our current cultural climate, we are tempted to feel these days are the darkest they've ever been for the nation. I'm not sure I believe that anymore. The story of Bob Childress is not only eye-opening, it offers us hope for today. Despite facing abject poverty, alcoholism, grief, domestic abuse and gun-wielding foes, Childress didn't cave to culture pressers. He certainly didn't soften his theology. But he did soften hearts and minds to Jesus. The challenges we face look different, but sin is ever-constant. With unfaltering boldness in Jesus Christ and his teachings, we too can move a mountain or a city or a suburb closer to the Kingdom of God."
