Well, it's been a while since I last wrote.
Figured, it's a good time to start updating things. See, I'm working on a pretty cool project this year that blends the original purpose of this blog quite nicely. The big idea behind this here space was to explore the mesh point between Pastoring and Producing in my life; with the hope of inspiring YOU as you work out the tension between dust and Divinity in your life.
2016 has me working on a significant documentary series exploring 13 big archaeological discoveries that 'authenticate' specific sections of the Bible and, on a larger scale, give credence to some of the big ideas, or themes, we see in Scripture.
Simply put, if you, or someone you know has ever been ridiculed by someone because they think you're foolish for believing, and basing some--or all--of your life on the deep truths explored and revealed in the Bible, then the work I'm doing this year might encourage you.
The series we're shooting is designed to encourage people 'of faith' that their faith is, in fact, rooted in deep historical fact, and we're hoping that people who have no faith background to speak of might see the final product and at least consider that their outright dismissal of the Bible might be a little less grounded in sound, fact-based, history than they previously might have thought.
So, if those ideas interest you, watch this space as I'll be posting about the project as it progresses. It's by far the biggest filmmaking endeavour my business partner and I have ever undertaken and, if we can translate our ideas to the screen, it might end up being something pretty cool.
So, update:
About to enter a section of the 1st Temple period tunnels underneath the Western Wall in Jerusalem, abutting the Temple Mount on my way to descending 40 feet (Indiana Jones style) into a cistern from the time of Solomon's Temple where a mysterious, out of place, wall leads deep into the unknown beneath where the Holy of Holies once stood.
Pretty gnarly.
Welcome back.
