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.

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.

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