https://youtu.be/a-79L6A2zWU I vividly remember the summer of 1994, a summer that would change my life forever. I had just graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, FL (just north of Orlando) with a degree in theater, and was busy playing bars with my band and working at an improv comedy club. The band was really [...]
One of the best things I've ever created (other my kids, which was not a solo venture) was writing Between the Savior and the Sea, a novel that tells the Gospel story from the eyes of Simon Peter. I'm always thrilled when someone comes up to me at an event and shares how they were blessed by it. [...]
This last weekend was not only the start of a new summer conference season, but the launch of a new ministry... Steubenville Worship! For over the past decade, I have led worship at the summer conferences as "Bob Rice and the worship team" or "Bob Rice and the band". Some summers we came up with [...]
These past few weeks... it is hard to describe the emotions I’ve felt. If someone asked me how I feel, I’d probably say, everything. I’ve felt joy and pain, anger and peace, questions and comfort. My dad was a wonderful man, one of my best friends. I really can’t say more about him right now [...]
So far I've played guitar on an elliptical, played accordion on a treadmill, wore a tux while running, and almost hurt myself so badly I would have had to cancel the race. But the big finish is this weekend where I run 13.1 miles to raise money for Dirty Vagabond Ministries! If you can help [...]

I love Star Wars. From the first time seeing “A long time ago” appear in blue letters on the movie screen, I was hooked. As a kid, I collected almost every action figure and play set that Kenner toys ever made. It captivated my imagination, and I likely spent more of my childhood, at least [...]
https://youtu.be/mOyOBS_lz10 I'm always grateful to be a part of the #sharejesus video series, produced by Redeemed Online. I'm also really glad that after I did the video they took a nice picture of me (which you can see on this site), since I've yet to get any professional pictures of me sans beard. I would have [...]
"Hey, where's the beard?" I've been getting that question a lot lately as I show up at different events. It is usually followed by, "Why aren't you wearing a bow tie?" Fear not, citizens. The bow tie is alive and well. I wear it when I teach and on Sundays. The beard, however, is gone. [...]
