I Need to Learn How to Do This

This is a clip from the French version of American Idol (HT: Steve McCoy). If I could learn how to do this and then incorporate beatboxing into my sermons at key moments when the attention-level of the congregation seems to be dipping I think it might make me much more effective.

Josh and Shannon,
I had a question to ask you. I am having a little issue with some thoughts and wished that you would or some one from your staff would pray for me. Also, I had another question about the friendship plan to find the right person to get married to. I am going to have frineds which I do, but I wanted to know what you thought about being interested in someone, but keep saying your friends until you get to know that person. I just don't want to be called a couple if it doesn't work out and then end it, but still be friends just have that remembrance of peopl;e saying that. And then maybe if we fall in love then a ring and marriage. What do you think about that.

Mary,

We will definitely pray for you. I also hope you're part of a local church in your area. There's no replacement for involvement in a church where you can receive care and support.

In regard to your question, please email your address to my assistant Katherine. Her email address is in the "contact" section of the site. We'd be happy to send you a copy of Boy Meets Girl. All the counsel I can pass on about friendship is in there. God bless you.

Josh, awesome! I love my church but I'd find a new job move and join CLC for the beat-boxing pastor. DA

I understand it frustrates you at times when, the congregation's attention kind of wanders away. I'm a college instructor and I feel that way many times. The strength of the Lord is made perfect in your weakness.

Manet,

I was just kidding. The truth is that my church is very attentive. And they wouldn't be impressed by beatboxing!

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
