Best of Walker Moore

My youngest son Caleb has had a dream ever since he was a child that, one day, he and I would go skydiving together. He had this dream because I told him stories of my adventures as a young skydiver. After I got out of the service, I moved to Hannibal, Mo., to attend...

In my work, I have been exposed to all types of missionaries around the world. I have come to put the missionaries I meet in two categories: the anointed and the appointed. There is a big difference between these groups. The anointed missionary walks differently; the...

Growing up, I didn’t do well when I was in school. My poorest subjects were English, math, history, geography and science.  School was never easy for me, but if you gave me a job or task, I excelled in it. I was much more of a hands-on learner. I have always...

My personality holds one particularly amusing paradox: I think it’s funny to scare someone, but I don’t like being scared. I have never figured that one out. Many years ago, my family bought me a Christmas gift that I had been wanting, as my grandsons would say, “all...

Both of my sons grew up attending Tulsa, First. I could have not asked for a better place for them to have been loved and taught the Bible. It was a church that supported our family as we walked out our faith. One of the things Tulsa, First was well-known for was its...
