Me
Derek Rishmawy
I'm the Director of College and Young Adult ministries at Trinity United Presbyterian Church. (Think non-ordained college pastor). I'm the husband of a very pretty lady named McKenna. I got my B.A. in Philosophy at UCI and my M.A. in Theological Studies (Biblical Studies) at APU. I love Jesus and more importantly Jesus loves me. Throw in too many books, coffee, craft beer, loud music and a picture starts to emerge. Also, sometimes Christ and Pop Culture lets me say things on their site.

Regarding your love of philosophy I’m surprised not to see R. C. Sproul on your list of stuff you like to read?
Haven’t really spent any time with him. They didn’t feature him in my philosophy program at UCI.
But seriously, I mostly lump Sproul in with the theologians. He’s good, but there is a long list of good authors I haven’t read yet.
The endless list of people who you’ve heard good things about but haven’t really explored yourself. If only there were more hours in a day. It’s 1AM at the moment and I’m still reading a dozen different articles.
If I could recommend one writer for you to explore if you haven’t already it’d be James White. He’s got plenty of books on a range of topics and a podcast/articles available over at aomin.org if you don’t have the time for books ATM.
