180 – Changing minds about abortion (video)

10.3.2011 — Leave a comment

Ray Comfort and company have put together a moving 30-minute documentary, “180”, that I would encourage anyone to make time to watch.

Please watch this short preview:

The 30-minute film follows Ray with a microphone and a camera around to mostly 20-somethings who are asked questions about Hitler and the Holocaust and then he takes “a 180?” direction-change and begins a series of questions relating to abortion.

It is fascinating to “see” the interviewees literally change their minds and leaves the viewer begging for follow-up interviews with the same people.

WARNING: this movie DOES include graphic content relating to real life situations.

Promotional materials, DVDs and study materials can be purchased for this film here at heartchanger.com.

Pastor & wannabe graphic designer

Much of my time in the office today was spent putting finishing (and some starting) touches to some graphical pieces for some upcoming events at church. I thought I’d share two of them here on my blog:

The creatives at 12Stone Church have done it once again and have created another hilarious music video. Love seeing this level of excellence in church media production coming from one of our sister Wesleyan churches!

Lecrae – I Am Second

9.28.2011 — Leave a comment

Powerful testimony from a life transformed by the power of Jesus Christ!

From iamsecond.com:

As a child, Hip Hop artist Lecrae’s world was void of good role models. Growing up with a single mom, he would watch rap videos at his grandmother’s house and developed an ability to rap himself. Yet Lecrae wrestled with insignificance, having never met his father and enduring a life of abuse and neglect. He sought to fill this void by surrounding himself with gangsters.

Before long, Lecrae was embroiled in a world filled with drugs, theft, alcohol and gang activity. “I didn’t fit in anywhere. I was just a misfit of a person,” he said.

Little did he know that his view on life would soon be jolted, opening his eyes to the One who valued his life as significant. The One who cared enough to die for him. The One who is behind his music.

Nevertheless Clothing | FREE Shirt Giveaway

9.26.2011 — 22 Comments

UPDATE [2011.10.04]: The winner of the FREE Nevertheless Clothing t-shirt contest is S. Grant! Congratulations, thanks everyone for entering!

Two of my friends, Todd & Cahla Downs, who used to work with me in one of my youth ministry positions have recently launched a brand new venture called “Nevertheless Clothing“. The purpose? I think they say it best (from their about page)…

God gave us creativity, compassion, humor, and a sense of style. Our mission is to use these gifts to bring hope to a seemingly faithless culture. We combine quality products, clean design, with encouraging themes to show love and inspire others. Wear your heart, share your heart, and let love live.

Todd works full time as a graphic designer and Cahla is quite the fashionista – their combined talents and love for the Lord has birthed Nevertheless Clothing and I am so excited for them.

I had a chance to chat with Todd the other evening and got the inside scoop on the business, the desire to give back and permission to give away a shirt here on my blog!

Nevertheless Clothing’s desire to give back in a creative way is what, I think, helps them stand out from the rest of similar startups. Their first “give back” opportunity is something their calling “HANDS 4 HAITI” in which they are using the proceeds from the sale of their first 75-shirts to pay for Todd and his best friend Colin to work in Haiti for a week with a local mission organization ministering to Haitian children! Watch their promo video for a bit more on “HANDS 4 HAITI”:

I’m excited about what Nevertheless Clothing is doing and I want to help them however I can, so I’m featuring this FREE SHIRT GIVEAWAY here on my blog to help drum up some buzz about their company!

Nevertheless Clothing is offering 1 (one) FREE Shirt from their current line to be given away here on stevansheets.com. The winner will be selected randomly from all entries received by Monday, October 3rd.
