Video: Chipotle + Green Farming + Cold Play & Willie Nelson = Amazing Video

I truly enjoyed this creative video from Chipotle.  Sure, it's a two minute commercial for the restaurant chain, but it's extremely creative, moving, and worth watching.  This is a wonderful example of visual storytelling.  There is zero dialogue yet you connect emotionally with the protagonist.  The experience is enhanced by the Willie Nelson cover of Coldplay's "The Scientist".  Watch and enjoy!

Video: News story for Camp Erin

I produced this video for the 2008 Camp Erin held near Big Bear, CA.  It was picked up by the local news agency Instant Riverside.  I shot it on a Panasonic DVX-100b.  I also wrote and edited it.

Blog: Most Unreached People Groups are Illiterate

Desiring God recently wrote:

Over 70 percent of the world’s population consists of people who are oral learners — people who cannot or do not read. Most of the world’s unreached and unengaged people groups are preliterate. They are primarily oral learners who cannot read or write the language that they speak — often because their language has not yet been reduced to writing. Their lives are lived out in an oral fashion. They learn about events in their world, form their opinions, share knowledge, and entertain one another using only the spoken word.

Conclusion:

Our faithfulness to the Great Commission calls us to learn new ways of communicating the Word that are intelligle to those who sit in darkness. We must love the world's least reached peoples enough to share the gospel with them in ways they can understand. It's then when pagans will be won, believers will be discipled, pastors will be equipped, and the church will expand for the glory of Jesus Christ.

Article: Take back the liberal arts

Too often, liberal arts courses aren't attuned to undergraduates looking for a broader understanding of the world but toward professor's narrow interests.
