About TimCasteel.com

I regularly post about College Ministry, Reading Well, and Understanding the Times.

Some of the most popular posts:

  • What if there’s no fall 2020? College ministry on an empty campus
  • Tools and Tips to Help You Read Through the Bible This Year
  • Learning from Large Cru Movements (a bit dated – from 2012, but the principles still hold true)
  • Learning From Cru’s Top Sending Campuses
  • We Are Losing an Entire Generation of Laborers to Student Loan Debt
  • Rewarding Quarantine Reads – (substantive “beach reads” – non-fiction and classic novels that are enjoyable AND easy to read)
  • Good Clean Fun Music Playlist
  • Why You Shouldn’t Go to Seminary (right out of college)

About Me:

I have been on staff with Cru for 22 years and lead the Cru movement at the University of Arkansas. I’ve been married to my best friend, Mandy, for 20 years and we have 5 kids (ages 10-18).

I am a passionate fan of books, indie music, college football, and cookie dough.

I love discovering new ideas and sharing strategies that work. I  can talk all day about college ministry strategy and mobilizing laborers to the world.

I’d love to connect on Twitter.

    Dear Brother,

    I am Faheem Qaiser from Pakistan . I have studied your web site, and I found it the most wonderful site to get right to the True Word of God. My suggestion for you is to create your material in my language of Urdu and Punjabi also. It will bring lots of blessings of the Word of God for the Pakistani and Indian Urdu and Punjabi speakQing people. For that purpose I as a translator will bring your material into Urdu languages and into Punjabi language as well.

    Although it will take your low expenses as well, as fund for the Word of God to reach out to the deserving people. I my self, work on alocal radio station also. Many times it becomes difficult for us to keep doing this because of being minorities and because of the lack of the financial resources. I will wait for your response.

    . Sincerely,

    Faheem Qaiser

About Tim Casteel

The goal of this blog is to share resources, best practices and strategy. Inspired by others who have taken the time to share their thoughts/learnings/resources, I decided to stop merely consuming and start contributing to the conversation.
