My friends are planting a church in Salt Lake City and they wanted a video to explain what they are up to.  I thought this was the perfect opportunity to create a clear explanation of the gospel vs legalism and how it relates to being the church.

Here are some reviews and press this promo has gotten:

“Watch it and you will be inspired, challenged and, I hope, changed. (Make the picture full screen and crank up the volume and you’ll see why this short video, made locally, is my nominee for Best Picture this year. Move over Benjamin Button.)” – Elizabeth Hovde

Aww shucks… that was nice of you to say.

I was blown away when CNN gave my piece some air time.  See the segment on CNN.com

Here is another write up by USA Today They did an article on the movement and an article highlighting my video.
