adopt a Jesus

Have you seen the new trailer for Brandt’s Russo’s documentary?

While I personally preferred the title “pastor’s parking only” (he joked about that title during the chat for our podcast), Brandt says the movie needed something a bit more serious and they’ve settled on a title, ‘”Adopt a Jesus” (which is an awesome idea and title in and of itself).

Brandt told me tonight (via facebook chat) that production is coming along great and he’s wrapping up a lot of the voice-over work this week. The movie is scheduled to be released in August of this year.

We can’t wait to see it!

Now if you’re expecting this movie to show up in your local theater – sorry – but that’s not very likely. Brandt and the other folks working on this movie are self-producing, self-distributing, and self-marketing this movie — so they can use all the help they can get to get this message out.

Hopefully after watching the trailer (and listening to Brandt’s story) you’re interest will be peaked and you’ll start getting word out about the movie on your blogs, twitter, facebook, myspace and elsewhere, and then you’ll join the facebook group, tell more friends about it and then see if you can organize a public screening in your area once the movie is out.

After watching the trailer and listening to Brandt’s story — what do you think?

Love the sinner…

How many of you can finish this statement:

“Love the sinner….”

Tony Campolo says “wherever someone is hurting, there is Jesus.”

But then he also finishes the above statement. For those who say, “I love the sinner, but I hate his sin.” His response is that “that is just the opposite of what Jesus says…. Jesus says, ‘love the sinner and hate your own sin; and after you get rid of the sin in your own life, then you can begin talking about the sin in your brother or sister’s life.'”

I continue to believe that the more we get to know people and know their stories and know their backgrounds and know their hurts — the more we realize how similar we are and loving them becomes that much easier.

Huge props to Theresa for sharing this video.

There’s a war going on for your mind

Love Flobots and love this style of video…

d9studios, who’s majoring in motion design, did this for an ethics class.

There’s a war going on for your mind – if you’re thinking – you’re winning.
