Matt Chandler Video: My family listened to one of Matt's sermons as we drove to Ohio for Thanksgiving. A few days later we were shocked to hear of his seizure and need for immediate surgery. Matt and his family and church have been in our prayers since. This is a video Matt recorded for his church right before the surgery. In it he's exalting Jesus and pastoring his people.

The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
