We’ve just finished an original short film that we’re going to use this weekend at theStory. Truth be told, we borrowed the concept from an earlier project (Vintage Faith) but if we really wanted to be honest, the original idea I had for this film 2 years ago did feature a table as the subject…then […]

Honesty prevailed, as it seemed […]

Last Sunday, we planted a church. The festivities started around 11:30am, formally ended just after 2:30pm and the last of the participants left around 6:00pm. Our house was full of laughter, reflection, the crashing and banging of kids and the smell of a home cooking.
We spent time telling our stories, recapping where our spiritual journies […]

In each of my prior ministry settings, we’ve always used print creatively to communicate certain ideas, messages or even plain ol’ announcements. But as of today, the creativity didn’t stop at the design, but also crossed over into the price and production. You see, my good friend, famous blogger and co-planter Nathan Colquhoun came up […]

A number of weeks ago, Jeremy and I put together a homemade version of the Stations of the Cross for WKC’s 10 days of prayer. We morphed the traditional Stations to suit our space (the bottom floor of the house that our offices are in - it’s pretty much a hole) and the prayer focus […]

As Jeremy mentioned on his blog, today the WKC Creative Team met to brainstorm ideas for the summer and fall preaching themes. To kick off our time together, I distributed copies of Andrei Rublev’s icon, The Holy Trinity, painted in 1452.
Taking the lead from Henri Nouwen’s, “Behold the Beauty of the Lord: Praying with Icons”, […]
