RondallThanksgiving when you aren’t feeling thankful
Yesterday, our Pastor preached a Thanksgiving message that relied heavily on the nostalgia of family holidays. I can certainly relate to that. As a child, holidays were a wonderful time. I remember Thanksgiving as a day spent happily with family and with a lot of food and discussion. By the time I reached high school, […]
Surviving a Trojan War
On Friday October 5th, 2018 Faith on View was attacked! I actually saw it happening. While I was on my computer, I saw a dramatic spike in activity on Google Analytics from a random town on the east coast of the United States. I didn’t think much about it until an hour or so later when […]
Changing the World for Christ…and the Culture War in General.
Changing the World for Christ Most readers of this blog know that I’ve spent much of the last decade involved in Christian higher education. I’ve always been interested in cultural engagement from the Church. I think that is just natural when you study art in NYC. You see strong western roots in Christianity but you […]
Conservative Christians are Missing the Point on Kavanaugh and Power
I’m a terrible blogger. As near as I can tell, one of the keys to blogging is having an opinion on every hot button issue and making it known. I certainly have had an opinion when it comes to the Brett Kavanaugh saga. But, I also haven’t felt like I’ve had anything unique to say […]

Trump Christians have the most devout faith.
Last week’s article contained a poll which asked, “Is America Hostile to the Christian Faith?” The results have been interesting so far. But more interesting has been the conversations generated. There is one particular conversation that really stood out to me. It came from the original group which inspired the poll. The last line in […]
Is America hostile to the Christian faith? (Poll)
The idea that America is increasingly hostile to the Christian faith is a common one in evangelical circles. I saw someone post the following on one of the social media groups I am in: “The world is more hostile to Christian faith than it has been in our lifetime. It presents us with a […]
Tournament of Artists 2018:2
Vote for your favorite artists! Twice a month, Faith on View readers get to vote for their favorite artists. You can see the records for the entire tournament HERE. I’m always amazed that some of my favorite artists just aren’t doing well in the tournament so far. Last round’s winners (round 2018:1) were: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Fernand Léger, Giorgio Vasari, Audrey Flack, Christo […]
Most Prestigious Christian Colleges & Universities 2018
Faith on View began ranking Christian Colleges in 2013. The project has been well received an even copied. But, this ranking remains the most complete ranking in terms both of the number of institutions ranked and the number of measures used in calculating the rankings. There are a lot of factors that go into a quality […]
The most important thing a Dad can do for his kids.
I was married young… too young. To be honest, our relationship did not get off to a great start. I think most of the time when a couple marries at nineteen and has a child at twenty they are asking for things to be more challenging than they might have otherwise been. Still, in about […]
