How Not to Make Disciples
I love this video by Francis Chan. It really makes you think about how your church is structured to make disciples.

This is a Powerful Argument Against Abortion
Whatever political viewpoint you hold, I urge you to watch this video. This is from an older Matt Chandler sermon, but it has been shared widely the last few weeks. He shares a powerful argument against the epic tragedy of abortion. With the Planned Parenthood videos being talked about on the media, I think it is helpful for us to look at the

Music as a Language
Luke shared this TEDx video with me last week. Victor Wooten is an incredible bass player and I have enjoyed listening to him play over the years.
