The Cycle of Nations
I was talking to a young man (early 20's) the other day and he was asking me if I had ever heard about the "cycle of nations" and if I could explain it to him. He is a student at ETSU and was interested in where I thought America was within this cycle. My view was that we have been in the apathy stage, and certainly for the past generation, have begun to slip head first into the dependency stage. I am not a pessimist, but I also have a brain. We are in a fragile state as a nation today. My ...
Students’ Bill of Rights
The Students’ Bill of Rights was produced by the American Family Association Law Center. This document may be freely copied and distributed. Students’ Bill of Rights 1. You have the right to meet with other Christian students on campus for prayer, Bible study, and Worship. The First Amendment guarantees the right of freedom of association with others. 2.

My Conversation With a Discouraged Pastor
This is a question and response that took place during a counseling session with a local pastor who came to me in 2008. I was later asked by him to put my response down on paper (best I could) so he could share it with other ministers and his church family. Please understand that I was trying to make a simple point…I know there are awesome young men and women doing great things for Christ at this very moment…I have had the privilege of working with many…but the frustration of many ministers and churches is very real also…they are scared ...
Confessions of a Student Minister
I woke up in the middle of the night feeling anxious, nervous, and very alone. “I can’t go into ministry Lord, I don’t have a three piece suit and my hair is way to long.” Thus began my journey into the wild frontier of student ministry. I was seventeen years old when God began calling me and planting the seed to proclaim His Word. I felt utterly inadequate for the task. Growing up in East Tennessee, part of the “Bible Belt,” I had a very limited view of what ministry looked like. Basically a preacher preached long sermons, sat on a bench ...
YT Coming Soon!
The Young Theologians Handbook is Coming Soon. This is Darryl’s first book and everyone at CPM is very excited about this new ministry project. The YT Handbook will consist of 39 core theological subjects along with other helpful information that pertains to the historic, orthodox teachings of Christianity. In this day of cultism and false teaching, Christian students struggle with foundational truths of the Faith leaving many students confused about what they actually believe in. The purpose of the handbook is to help Christian students understand and embrace their Faith in an age of confusion and Biblical illiteracy. ...
