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.

Calling Christian Actors: Vinegar Hill is casting for the NEXT 2010 conference promo video right now. Check out the casting call.
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.
