Dissertation Committee: Primary Advisor: Dottie Escobedo-Frank, DMin Secondary Advisor: Bill Gibson, DMin Lead Mentor: Leonard I. Sweet, PhD Expert Advisor: Dan Lioy, PhD Copyright © 2018 by Kory Knott All rights reserved ii DEDICATION To my wife, Jennifer and our three children, Taylor, Zachary, and Reed. Gathering around the table to share our meals together is always the best part of my day. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This journey began almost three years ago with a Facebook message from my friend and colleague Len Wilson, who suggested that I should consider applying for admission into the Preaching as Story DMIN program at George Fox Evangelical Seminary (now Portland Seminary). When I accepted his invitation, little did I know that this program would not only change the way I preach ... it would also change my entire approach to ministry. I am indebted to my lead mentor, Leonard Sweet, for teaching me to trust the metaphor, and for showing me how to prepare the preacher, not the sermon. I am also thankful for Lori Wagner who keeps reminding me of everything Len has taught us. Thank you to my faculty advisors; Dottie Escobedo-Frank who guided and directed me in my research and writing, and Dan Lioy who helped shape the artifact for my dissertation. Thanks to the other faculty and staff at Portland Seminary who helped guide and support me along the way: Clifford Berger, Loren Kerns, Doug Balzer, Heather Rainey, Adam McGuffie, and my amazing editor Colleen Butcher. My thanksgiving would not be complete without mentioning David McDonald, the one who has pushed me most outside of my comfort zone so that I might become a more creative preacher and writer. Thank you for being a friend to me and reminding me how important it is to go out of our way to have fun. To my cohort family: Bruce Barnard, Valerie Crumpton, Meghan Goode, Jamale Kempt, Brandon Morrow, Jim Mueller, Nathan Rouse, Mindy Smith, Kevin Wade, Jennifer Yocum, and Amanda Zent-Alto. I will never forget the special times we gathered around various tables for food and fellowship in Portland, Seattle, and especially Orcas iv Island. For every gathering it seemed that laughter, joy, and dessert were always on the menu. I thank God for each of you and look forward to continuing this incredible journey alongside you for years to come. I also want to offer my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the people of Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas. I am especially grateful for the members of the Staff Parish Relations Committee and church staff who encouraged me along the way and afforded me the necessary time and resources required to embark on this three- year journey. I look forward to seeing what God will do in the years to come as we seek to bring revitalization to our beloved United Methodist Church. Most importantly, I thank God for my “first” family: For my wife Jennifer who has managed to juggle everything at home and work so that I could pursue a doctorate in preaching. You have truly taught me what it means to bring a sacrifice unto the Lord as you have done so much to encourage and support me throughout this entire process. And finally, I thank God for our three beautiful children Taylor, Zachary, and Reed who often had to wait patiently for daddy to finish his “homework” before he could play. I love you! v EPIGRAPH They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.

  • Milt Josefsberg Collection
    Thousand Oaks Library American Radio Archives Milt Josefsberg Collection Introduction The Milt Josefsberg Collection of the American Radio Archives at the Thousand Oaks Library consists of ca. 8 linear feet of papers and ca. 25 hours of sound recordings, documenting the later part of the career of radio and TV comedy writer and producer J. Milton Josefsberg. The collection contains scripts of radio and television programs, story outlines, presentation material, and correspondence, as well as research material, drafts and galley proofs of the manuscripts for Josefsberg’s two books (The Jack Benny Show. The Life and Times of America’s Best-Loved Entertainer; Comedy Writing: For TV and Hollywood). Biography J. Milton Josefsberg was born on June 29, 1911 in Brooklyn, N.Y., as the son of Jacob Josefsberg (phonograph store owner) and his wife Dinah. He attended New Utrecht High School, where he started his writing career as humor editor of the school magazine. Josefsberg studied journalism and advertising at City College of New York, working part time as a reporter for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, to support himself. In 1936, he married his high school sweetheart, Hilda Wolarsky. They had two sons: Alan Roy and Steven Kent, both of whom became teachers in California. Milt Josefsberg died in Burbank, California, after suffering a stroke, on December 14, 1987. In the early 1930s columnists Walter Winchell and Mark Hellinger published humorous contributions sent them by Josefsberg. This led to a career as press agent for stars like Phil Harris, Paul Whiteman, Gertrude Berg, Buddy Clarke and Kate Smith (1933-38).
