New Show...

Oh baby...

(yes, yes, a double entendre for all you Bono fans...)

So that's what my show is about this coming Sunday night.  No, not Bono, and not double entendres 'cause that would be dead boring on the latter front and impossible ('cause I, for certain, 'aint big enough to get 'Mr. U2' yet...) on the former.

It's about the 'pornification of culture'.

You can read all about it, here.

And may I just say that finding the strength to be very transparent on TV and online is dang hard to do.  By this point in the game, hundreds of people are reading this blog each month (almost hit a thousand last month) and that's only going to get worse once tens of thousands (to start) then potentially up to a couple hundred thousand start watching me Sunday nights at 9:00pm out west following '60 Minutes' on JOYTV10.

Pretty scary.

And what I find most interesting about it is the degree to which years and years of working as a 'pro' in the Church-industry have conditioned me to really worry about how honest I am and what I say or don't say.  I'm always wondering 'Gee, should I really go that far?  Should I really say it that way?' and the problem with that is that, in the creative arts, success is typically achieved through the lack of filter.

Never mind success.  How about impact?  It seems to me that it is when we tell the truth, regardless of how it makes us look, that we find a way to deeply and truly connect with the people who're listening to/watching/reading us.

So here's me asking you to do three things:

1) If you know anyone in Vancouver or the surrounding region tell them to tune us in this Sunday night, September 7th, at 9:00pm Pacific on JOYTV10.

2) Tell any spiritual leaders you know to drop me a line 'cause I want to feature them on the site talking about the issues from their perspective.

3) Find a way to be as truthful and dangerously-honest as you can within your sphere of influence 'cause that's how we write great sermons, plant great Churches, make great movies and life-changing TV, build 'with it' families and change the culture at work.

From one would-be exhibitionist to another...

Keep keeping it dangerous baby 'cause it's dangerous people who change the World.
