I Look Forward to Seeing This

November 10, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

This is the trailer for a documentary that was recently released called “Collision”.

Here’s the synopsis, as copied from the ‘About’ page of the website:

COLLISION carves a new path in documentary film-making as it pits leading atheist, political journalist and bestselling author Christopher Hitchens against fellow author, satirist and evangelical theologian Douglas Wilson, as they go on the road to exchange blows over the question: “Is Christianity Good for the World?”. The two contrarians laugh, confide and argue, in public and in private, as they journey through three cities. And the film captures it all. The result is a magnetic conflict, a character-driven narrative that sparkles cinematically with a perfect match of arresting personalities and intellectual rivalry. COLLISION is directed by prolific independent filmmaker Darren Doane (Van Morrison: To Be Born Again, The Battle For L.A., Godmoney).

It is too often the case that any type of debate about faith becomes disrespectful, arrogant, and exaggerated. Based on the trailer and what I’ve heard, this looks like a significant exception to the rule!

Be on the lookout!

Have any of you seen this?

Cool New Passion 2010 Promo Video

October 15, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

If you’re a high school senior or a college student — or that age — I would highly encourage you to consider checking out Passion 2010.

It’s a conference just for you, with music from Chris Tomlim, Steve Fee, and others, and life-changing teaching from Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, John Piper, Beth Moore, and others!

I went in ’05 and then Steph and I took a group in ’07 and both experiences left a significant mark on me.

The price is steep and the date falls right after new year, but it’s totally worth it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

How Creative Is Our God?

October 13, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

While sitting in my cube this afternoon — twiddling my thumbs and waiting for some processes to catch up with me so I can keep working — I came across this article on the BBC.

That lizard in the photo above: it’s called the “Jesus Christ” lizard.

Seriously.

Why?

Because it can walk on water.

Vote For Josiah!

October 7, 2009, by Zack No comments yet

picture-2Hey, if you have a minute, would you mind cruising over to the Gap ‘casting call’ website and voting for Josiah?

You’ll find a couple of photos of Josiah, and if they get the most votes, we can use the cash to get his college fund started!

You can vote for as many photos as you want, and you can vote every day ’till mid-November.

If a couple-dozen of us vote every day, we can do this thing!

* There is one catch — and I don’t understand why they did it this way — but you have to create a Disney Family account in order to vote. But you only have to do it once, and you can un-check all the boxes that say “send me spam”.

“Glory In The Highest” Christmas Tour

September 16, 2009, by Zack 1 comment

passion1This showed up in my inbox this week.

Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, & Christy Nockels will be doing a Christmas tour this year!

As you can see, they completely neglected our great state of North Carolina when they planned this thing, but I’m still tempted to try and get to Virginia Beach.

Anybody interested?
