Registration has just gone live for the Furious Love Event. This is going to be a “conference” unlike any other. We’ve got 10 speakers coming from all over the world, all of whom were in Furious Love and Finger of God. It will be held at Redeemer Fellowship Church in Monroe, Michigan, which is where I grew up. It’s kind of weird for me to have my two worlds blending into one another, but the Lord is definitely behind this one.

The reason we’re doing this is to create a teaching supplement for Furious Love and Finger of God, in a way. We (meaning my team and I) will be producing and filming the entire conference, and will create a unique set of teaching DVDs that people will be able to watch as part of small groups, Sunday Schools, and of course, individually. Unfortunately, we won’t be including even a fraction of the amount of teaching that will be happening during those four days, so if you want the full teaching experience, you’re going to have to attend the conference!

Please understand that space is limited, so when it’s sold out, that’s it. I’d recommend signing up as soon as you know you want to attend to be certain you get your tickets. Also, due to the extreme costs of putting something like this together and bringing so many major speakers from all parts of the world, as well as transforming the space to look amazing on camera, we cannot offer any discounts. This is going to be a pretty hot ticket, so we have to leave ticket prices as they are. Sorry folks! But like I say on the website, this isn’t your typical conference, it’s an Event. And it won’t happen again.

I just finished the script for a pilot episode of a new cartoon we’re creating here at Wanderlust Productions. Now some of you might be thinking, “Wait, I thought they made documentaries?” Well, yes we do, but we have lots of dreams and ideas, and we’re not planning on sitting around making documentaries for the rest of our lives! Obviously, right now that’s where our main focus is, but God is seeing fit to open things up a bit for us so that we can slowly begin venturing into the world of fiction and narrative filmmaking. Matt Bilen, Braden Heckman, and myself all long to make narrative feature films that are both filled with truth and are highly compelling stories. In fact, I’m just waiting for the financial clout to turn the best script I’ve ever written (hands down) about a fallen Matador into a big screen feature. Any really rich backers out there?

In the meantime, we are moving forward with the things God is placing before us, and we’re quite excited about it all. For this cartoon, I’m working with the head of a ministry called Anointed Fighter (Danny White) and we’re creating a cartoon that has elements of mixed martial arts/The Matrix/God’s kingdom of love tightly wound together. We’ll be going into production at the end of July, and the episode should be available on DVD late 2010/early 2011. Right now, the title of the cartoon is: Eternal Fighting Champions (or EFC for short).

On July 6, we travel to Reno, Nevada, to begin a very different kind of documentary–our third feature film. I’m making this one with secular television in mind, so we’ll see how it turns out. We’re making a movie about the life and faith of UFC legend, Ken Shamrock. After spending four years making two VERY hard core spiritual films (the last of which, Furious Love, took a lot out of me), I needed something completely different for my next film. God obliged me with this project, and told me to “just have fun” making it. And that’s exactly what I plan to do! We’ll film with Ken in Reno for a few days, then travel to Sydney, Australia to film a fight he is doing. We’ll continue to film with him throughout the summer, and will spend most of the Fall editing.

Whenever I begin a film, I always start with a totally blank canvas. It seems like I always head into territory I know nothing about, and the same is true with this project. I’m not a fan of UFC at all (I’d never even heard of Ken Shamrock before he contacted me, truth be told). But here I am, making a movie about an incredibly violent sport and an incredibly complicated man (who also happens to be a really cool dude). I’m making this movie for the UFC crowd, so don’t expect to show this one to the kids. But never fear, God has told me to start filming the follow up to Furious Love, titled: Father Of Lights, in September.

All that to say, I could sure use your prayers. Wanderlust Productions is still a VERY small company (we have four full-time people, that’s it!) and all of this stuff rests on my shoulders to create. Matt and Braden are literal godsends to me–both are way more talented and technically gifted than I am, but I’m still the main storyteller. I have learned from my first two films that if I want to produce anything of real lasting quality, I need to partner with the Holy Spirit in a very deep, very real way. And that is where I need prayer the most. My relationship with the Father is the oil that runs this entire engine, and I’ve recently been pondering the concept of a “lifestyle of pursuit”. This is my desire. I don’t want to go to Him just when I need something. I want to pursue Him as a lifestyle. In fact, I think I’ll write a chapter about that, just so I can figure out what exactly it means!

Thank you for your constant support and prayers. I love nothing more than hearing the wonderful things God does through my films. Please lift us up in prayer this summer, preferably on a regular basis, so that we can confidently and wonderfully tell great stories about the king of kings.

Wow. Can my life get any busier? It’s been so long since I last blogged about anything I wonder if people will still read this? Well, for the handful of you who really care about what we’re doing at Wanderlust, this one’s for you!

Let’s start at the beginning. Just over a month ago, Furious Love was released on DVD. Sales have been incredible, and we were able to move over 15,000 copies in the first month alone. In fact, things sold so well that we quickly sold out of nearly EVERYTHING (Furious and Finger) and have been scrambling to get new copies made and sent out to the people who are desperate for them. Thank you for your patience!

Word of mouth is even better for Furious than it was for Finger, and I personally thank you for continuing to tell your friends and pastors about this special little film. I’m so excited to see God’s hand upon it and how He is using it for His kingdom. That was always our hope and prayer.

We have recently begun filming our first “television show”, which is basically two short films that we’ll put together to see if anyone is interested. Tentatively titled, “Three Idiots and the Truth”, it involves me and my crew delving a little deeper into the types of things I filmed in Finger of God, checking medical and dental records, and getting a fuller picture of the stories surrounding the miracle occurrences we are filming. The feel will be MUCH different than you might be used to for a Wanderlust Production, as it’s going to be fast paced and very, very funny. Look for those to be finished by the end of the summer, and they will premiere on the 700 Club Interactive.

We are also very close to having Furious Love and Finger of God on iTunes (so you’ll finally get to see Furious in all it’s HD glory!), as well as the Furious Love Soundtrack, which we have remastered and sounds great.

Our first non-profit organization, The Wanderlust Foundation, has gone live and we’re super excited for people to begin to catch the vision for this. Check it out at wanderlustfoundation.org. This is your chance to help out the Children’s home in Bokaro, India, or help Wanderlust continue its goal of bringing to light the true heroes of the faith around the world, and training others to do what we do as well.

I have recently finished the script for our first cartoon, which should be released by the end of the year (fingers crossed). We’re keeping the story under wraps for the time being, but rest assured it will be fun, challenging, and powerful. I wanted to make a cartoon that my kids would love, but would also expose them to the spiritual war that is raging around them.

I have finished my first book, which will be released through Destiny Image Publishing next April. Still no title yet…

We begin filming with UFC legend Ken Shamrock for our next film in July. We’ll film with Ken and other fighters in Reno, Australia, Vegas, and the Bahamas (tough life, I know). There is no release date as of yet, but we’re hoping for a Spring ‘11 release. The film will most likely come in at around 60 minutes, and we’re hoping for a television premiere.

Our next full length feature film will be the follow up to Furious Love (still no title) which we’ll begin filming in September. We have a number of locations already lined up, and some AMAZING stories and people on deck to film. We know we’ll be filming in Siberia, India, South Africa, China, and Israel, but as of yet, I still don’t even know what the movie is going to be about! The Lord has been pretty quiet on this one, other than commissioning me to “make a movie without an agenda–simply go film and I’ll take care of the rest” is what He told me to do. So that’s what I’m doing. I have a sense this will be my most uncomfortable film yet, but also the film with the biggest message. I’m so excited to start, but realize I have to take care of my other projects first!

At some point next spring, my father and I will film at Bethel Church, in Redding, California, for a one day event on Creativity. We are working on a book/DVD together that will really highlight our creative journeys in the fine arts as well as writing and media. For all you creative folks out there, this is one you won’t want to miss!

Finally, we are planning a HUGE event we are lovingly calling The Furious Love Event, which is set for next April 6-9, 2011, at Redeemer Fellowship in Monroe, Michigan. This event (we’re not calling it a conference) will be a 3 day extravaganza of teaching from 10 of the main people highlighted in Furious Love (with Rolland and Heidi Baker thrown in for good measure). The goal of the event is for Wanderlust Productions to create a teaching supplement for Furious Love for people who want to go deeper into the truths and concepts that were raised in the film. This will be perfect for churches and small groups, as well as individuals who’s hearts have been melted by the love of God as seen in both Finger and Furious. This will be a once in a lifetime event, and we’re so excited to be bringing all of these people together under one roof. Here is the official lineup:
Rolland and Heidi Baker (Mozambique)
Philip Mantofa (Indonesia)
Robby Dawkins
Greg Boyd
JP Moreland
Angela Greenig
“Shanti” (India)
Will Hart
Mattheus van der Steen (Netherlands)

And with all things Wanderlust, there may be a few surprises thrown in for good measure!

So that’s what I’ve been up to lately! Please keep us in your prayers, as this is a lot of ground to cover, a lot of creative energy to unload, and a lot of money to produce! But we know these things are from the Lord, so we’re simply excited to see what He’s got up His sleeve these next two years.

Thanks everyone for your continued support, love, and prayers. We need it, desperately, every day…

Finally, the day has arrived when Furious Love is released on DVD!  We’re so excited to begin this new journey and to share this movie with the world.  The “theatrical release” through churches worldwide has been an enormous success, with well over 600 churches in over 20 countries participating.  Thank you so much, all of you, for getting so excited about this movie, for being honest with us, and for supporting what we are trying to do through media.

I have dreamed of this day for a very long time.  I can’t tell you how many times I stared out the window of an airplane, 30,000 feet in the air, heading back from some dark place, and wondered what this day might feel like.  Would I be ecstatic?  Nervous?  Overwhelmed?  The reality is far less stark than that.  Today is another day, just like every other day.  At least, that’s what it feels like.  Maybe it’s the fact that we’re starting to gear up for more movies, or the fact that I’m on this crazy deadline to finish the book I’m writing (due out early 2011!) about my adventures.  Then again, maybe it’s just God’s way of keeping me sheltered, of keeping my ego in check.  Yeah, I like that better…

So much has happened over these last couple of months since the church release.  We’ve started a non-profit (www.wanderlustfoundation.org), I was given a book deal with Destiny Image Publishing, we started filming the follow up to Furious Love, I’ve been on a host of TV shows and radio interviews and magazines, and this summer looks to be even busier than ever.  We are working on a cartoon, a film about the UFC with Ken Shamrock, a couple of short films, and a bunch of other stuff as well.

But I just wanted to stop the train at the station for a moment today to mark a milestone in my life, and in the life of this company.  When the masses get their hands on Furious Love, I have a feeling our lives here at Wanderlust Productions will never be the same.  But today, everything is the same.  My prayer is that while success and testimonies and controversy rage around us from here on out, that inside, in our spirits, in my heart, nothing will change.  My crew and I will still be three idiots traveling the world, witnessing the mighty works of God with humble, naive hearts, and that God will still be our Director.

Hello again everyone, and thank you for continuing to spread the word about Furious Love. It continues to blaze a trail through the worldwide church. It’s such a delight to watch.

This blog will be a little different than my past entries, though, in that it is a call to young people, particularly those of you who are in high school and are interested in making films for the kingdom of God your life’s passion. I have just agreed to a partnership with Judson University that is truly remarkable and quite unique, and I’d like to invite you to come be a part of it!

We’ll be providing more information in the near future on the details of the program, but I wanted to take a minute to give you some of the highlights here. In case you weren’t aware, my studio is housed on the campus of Judson University, and we are currently expanding to meet the demands of all our current productions in the pipeline.

Beginning next year, we will be starting an “advanced” program in cooperation with Judson Univeristy’s media department, where students will be able to come to Judson and get their core training in media production and creation, but also work exclusively with Wanderlust Productions to receive training for 3 years. You will be trained in advanced editing, sound editing/mixing, color correction, and motion text graphics. In your senior year, you will be assigned an internship in association with my new non-profit organization, The Wanderlust Foundation, where you will travel (either domestic or internationally) to a missionary organization, film with them for a week, and will put together a promotional video for them as part of your internship. All of this will be overseen by myself and my team. This is about as unique of an opportunity as you’re going to find, and I’m very excited to finally be able to offer this program. I am constantly approached by students who want to know how they can do what I do, and now I have an answer for them. Come to Judson and train with me. Be a part of our films. Help us change the world. By the time you graduate, you will be uniquely qualified to work in almost any studio setting.

Again, this is only open to students who are interested in coming to Judson to study. Feel free to visit www.judsonu.edu to learn more about the school, or contact a good friend of mine, Tory Gum, at tgum@judsonu.edu to inquire more. Just tell him you want to study with Darren Wilson, and he’ll be happy to help you with any questions or concerns you might have.

More information will be coming, including a video we will make explaining the program. But that probably won’t come until the summer, and I wanted to let you know about this opportunity sooner rather than later. Please forward this on to any high school students who you might think would be interested in this. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

Recently, I began reading the book, “Angels On Assignment” by Roland Buck. A friend who I respect and trust recommended this to me, and although my “to do” list is ridiculous these days, I have found time to steal away some precious moments to read. Early in the book, there is one passage that I found especially wonderful, mostly because it reminded me of my own journey these past few years. For anyone who is reading this who carries your own dreams or desires to serve the Lord but don’t yet know how to begin, check this out:

(a little backstory: Roland Buck wrote this book back in the 70s, and it detailed his pretty dramatic angelic encounters. This passage came from one of his conversations with an angel…)

“God let me know that events which he has decreed HAVE TO HAPPEN! When he decrees it, an irreversible force is set in motion that nothing can stop. IT HAS TO HAPPEN! People he has included in his unfolding plan are not irreversibly stuck with that plan for themselves unless they want to be. God has predestined the event, but not the individuals. He said, “If you will link arms with me, there will be joy and happiness in it for you. I have FOREORDAINED you to be a partner with me in the great work that I am doing, but I will not hold you to it.”

My own experience is a great example of this truth. For 15 years I did what I wanted to do creatively. I worked harder than anyone else, wrote more than anyone else, and generally willed myself to become a good storyteller. I didn’t believe in “partnering” with God creatively, because I believed that God had given me His creative spirit, and I was to hone it, use it, and create things of beauty myself. I would then “give God the glory”, which basically meant I would say that I did this thing, wrote this story, for Him. That, of course, was only partially true. Deep down, I really did it for myself. For fame. For money. For glory. But hey, at least I was saying the right thing.

The funny thing was, I never succeeded. I knew I was creating good stories; stories people would probably like if they read them or saw them on the big screen, but it was as if there was an invisible forcefield that blocked all my creative endeavors from succeeding. It became the running joke in my family, actually. My failure was becoming something of legend.

But then, God came and asked me to do something. Most of you probably know about my angelic encounter with the angel Breakthrough, so I won’t go into it here. See it here.

Needless to say, for the first time, I decided to “link arms with God” and do what He wanted me to do, even though it sounded terrifying, stupid, and completely out of my comfort zone.

What Roland Buck wrote spoke to me so deeply because I had actually experienced this truth. God asked me to partner with Him, and I could very easily have said no. My wife and I often talk about that–what if I had let the call fade from my memory? What if I had let it sit idle for so long that it became something more out of a dream than reality? What if I had never made Finger of God? I would have never made Furious Love. How would my life be different? Would I still be thrashing around trying to get people to like my creations? How many people would still be locked in their old ways of thinking? I shudder at the thought.

But God, in His graciousness, is calling us to partner with him, but in the end, it’s up to us to say yes. He won’t hold us to it. If we say no, or forget, or hesitate, then He’ll simply move on to someone else, hoping they’ll say yes to His call. He’ll still love us outlandishly, and He won’t hold it against us, but we’ll lose out. Fear or apathy will have held us back from our destiny. I love how the Lord spoke to Roland and told him that “if you link arms with me, there will be joy and happiness in it for you.”

I’m living proof of that.

It has been exactly 10 days since Furious Love was released around the world, and I have to admit, this whole experience is quite weird. Immediately after the release, we began receiving some of the most wonderful testimonies and words of thanks and gratitude I could ever imagine. They continue to come in, but it’s odd how little a creator of something gets to actually hear about how their creation is affecting the world at large. I know a few things. I know that the response has been universally positive, with many claiming this to be the best film they have ever seen. I know that most of the churches who had showings this past week are now feverishly working to set up subsequent showings, due to the incredible response they experienced. I know a great number of people have gotten saved after the film, and and even greater number have been challenged and spurred on to love more ferociously themselves. This is all good news.

It’s funny, because even now, I still get emails from people telling me some story about how Finger of God changed their life. It has been over two years since I last worked on that film, so when people bring it up to me, it’s kind of like, “Huh? Oh yeah…” I’m still so grateful for how God continues to use that little movie, and I’ve come to grips with the fact that I will never know the true extent of the fruit God has brought from that film.

A few weeks before Furious Love was released, I had a profound dream that I knew was from the Lord. I have only had maybe four dreams like this in my entire life. In it, my wife and I were in the backseat of a open-top jeep, driving along a huge beach. The beach was massive, at least a half-mile of sand lay between our jeep and the ocean. People were everywhere. Two men drove the jeep (I have since learned that these are, apparently, my two angels who have been assigned to me–I dreamed of them once before, when I was making Finger of God). Suddenly, I saw a big wave in the distance. From this far away, it was still fairly small, but it rose probably 30 feet out of the water and made a resounding crash on the shoreline. Then, shortly after that, an otherworldly, enormous wave rose up behind it. It stretched up to the sky, and was, easily, 1000 feet high. It towered over the entire beach, then slammed down onto the sand. Everyone on the beach was completely covered by this wave. I remember, the tip of the wave crashed right next to our jeep, and some of the spray got on me. Then I woke up.

I immediately understood what this dream meant, although it was hard for me to accept it. The first wave was Finger of God. It caused a stir, to be sure, and many were affected by it. It was a pretty big wave, but nothing like what was coming after it. The second, enormous wave, was Furious Love. I have gotten word after word after word from everyone from close prophetic friends to perfect strangers who all reiterate the same thing: that I have no idea the impact that Furious Love is going to have on the world. In my dream, the impact was enormous and all-encompassing. Everyone who came in contact with it was completely covered by God’s “furious wave”. Interestingly, though, I only felt a splashing of the impact.

I now realize that I probably never will know the true impact these films have, and in reality, that’s probably a good thing. There isn’t much I can take credit for with these things. Obviously, I’m obedient and do what I feel God is asking me to do, and yes, I needed to train enough in my past to be able to tell a good, tight story, but in the end, these are God’s films. If He doesn’t show up, I’ve got nothing to write about. If He doesn’t move on people, then no lives get changed.

So am I bummed that I don’t know what’s going on out there? Sort of, but not really. The Lord gives me enough feedback to keep me moving forward, but not so much that I start to think that, yeah, I really am kind of a genius. If I ever get to that point, I’ve ordered my family and friends to hold an intervention and remind me just how much of an idiot I really am.

All artists have egos. I am no exception. But God is bringing me to a place where my ego, my identity, is not wrapped up in what I create or how many people it affects. My identity is found in Him and Him alone.

Thank God for that.

Yesterday someone asked me what it felt like to work so hard on something for two years, then see it be even more popular, and have more impact than we dreamed it would. It’s funny, because even while we were filming Furious Love, we knew we were on to something pretty special. Then when I started putting it together in my studio, and found myself in tears nearly everyday because I was being so moved by stuff I had already seen, I knew the film was going to be pretty good. I knew people would like Furious Love, and that it would probably be accepted by more people than Finger of God was, but I was wholly unprepared for the response we are currently getting.

In three days we have passed 100,000 tickets sent out. Churches are still surging to sign up as the word spreads, and churches who have already had showings are scrambling to add more because of the overwhelming response they are getting. By all intensive purposes, Furious Love is shaping up to be a monster. And while that is very, very cool and personally gratifying, it’s nothing compared to this…

Testimony #1: At a premiere in Aurora, Illinois, over 1000 people show up. We find out just before showtime that witches are in the audience. After the showing, people are streaming down the aisles to receive Jesus or get prayer, and one man approaches Robby Dawkins (the big scary bald guy at the end of the film) and informs him that he’s a witch. He then says, “I have to have this power in my life, mine is so inferior.” Robby prays with the man, and someone who had originally come to curse the film leaves with a brand new relationship with the King of Kings.

Testimony #2: At another showing, a church is so rocked and convicted to love their fallen world, that they corporately, after the film, begin to pray and intercede for the strip club that is just down the street from them. Their prayers are born out of love and compassion, not judgment. The next day, a woman who works at the strip club calls the church, out of the blue, and asks for their help in getting her out of the club and the sex industry.

How do I feel to see my two years of sacrifice and hard work being received with such fervor and excitement all across the globe? Feels great. How do I feel about those two testimonies, and the countless others we’re receiving everyday? Words cannot describe.

Please, send us your testimonies as they happen. Or comment on this post and share them with the world. But above all, love extravagantly. Love without agenda. Love as you are loved.

Then watch the world change around you.

 It’s one thing to know that something big is about to happen.

It’s another thing entirely to watch it unfold right before your eyes.

Furious Love premiered in over 500 locations in 19 countries around the world last night.  I attended two premiere’s here in Chicago last night, one of which had over 1000 people in attendance.  I stood there and watched all these people stream in; they had all gotten babysitters, paid their hard earned money, and ventured out into the cold night to come see a movie I made.  My crew, Matt and Braden, stood by my side all night, and we kept looking at each other in disbelief.  How could this be happening? 

We spoke to the crowds, not really knowing what we were saying.  Then the movie began.  I kept hearing audible gasps, crying, and words of praise to a God who was suddenly becoming bigger than ever to everyone in the theater.  The movie ended, and streams of people began filing to the front.  So many came forward that the churches putting this on had to go recruit more people to help pray.  A witch got saved.  I met two young girls afterwards who accepted Christ at the showing.  People walked up to me afterwards in a daze, not knowing exactly what to say, so they just mumbled "thank you".  The whole thing was surreal and humbling.  

And now there’s today.  The testimonies are beginning to pour in.  All around the world people are waking up to the reality of God’s ferocious love for them; for those around them.  People are getting saved.  Many are still trying to process what they saw, what they experienced.  

I spent 18 months living with this thing, experiencing all of this firsthand.  I had some of the most intense spiritual experiences of my entire life while sitting alone in my studio, putting this story together.  Often times I would emerge like an animal coming out of hibernation–shocked that there was still a world filled with bright lights and loud cars.  I made this movie in a sort of spiritual cocoon, and now I’m realizing that those who watch it are entering that cocoon as well.  When many of them emerge, they are, like me, new creatures.  More beautiful than they were before, simply because their eyes have been freshly opened to the majesty, power, and greatness of Love incarnate.  

Many churches are scrambling to set up more showings of the film, and that’s exactly what I hoped would happen.  Use this film as a launching pad to more and more opened eyes, but then take it further.  This film is not the revolution.  It is simply the spark.  

You are the real revolution.

 My wife left for India today.  We’re helping to start a children’s home there, and she will also be attending a meeting for Christian women who have survived the horrific persecution in Orissa at the hands of Hindu extremists (which you will see in Furious Love).  

That, of course, leaves me home alone with the kids.  And here I am, on the night before my life will most likely change forever, alone in my living room as my children sleep peacefully upstairs.  I guess it’s time to ruminate, look back, and wonder about what is to come.  The only problem is, I’m as numb as can be.  

People keep asking me if I’m excited.  I’m excited for what God is about to do, absolutely.  Am I excited about the praise and adulation that’s about to come?  Not really.  Am I excited for the hate mail that’s bound to come as well?  Definitely not.  Am I excited about speaking engagements, interviews, and all the stuff that goes with that?  Yes and no.  But do I actually FEEL anything at the moment?  Strangely, no.

Before I started making Finger of God, my greatest desire was to be well known.  I wanted people to love the things I wrote, and in turn I figured they would love me as well.  Of course, if you asked, I would have told you that my greatest aim was to glorify God through my work, but in my heart of hearts I wanted to glorify God AND be made famous in the process.  And of course, my entire life, I failed at everything I ever tried creatively.  It’s a longer story than I have time for here, but something happened that finally (and mercifully) killed my dream of fame forever.  It was one of the worst yet best days of my life.

So here I am.  Millions have seen my first film.  Hundreds of thousands of people are about to watch my second film all at the same time.  And I can’t help but note the oddity of my numbness.  Maybe it’s simply too much to handle.  I’ve been getting a glimpse all week of the types of reactions this film is about to get, and it’s overwhelming to say the least.  And that’s all from just one showing.  What’s going to happen when God unleashes His Love on over 500 churches around the world at the same time?  And how is that going to change my life?  

My goal with you all has always been honesty.  When you watch my movies, you’re hearing the God’s honest truth as I witnessed it.  I won’t hype anything beyond what actually happened, and I have the same questions about it all that most of you do.  And now, 24 hours before an atomic bomb of love is about to go off, I don’t know what to think.  I’m not really sure what to do.  

I am awed and humbled by the excitement I have seen from many of you regarding this film.  I can’t wait to hear the testimonies of what God does through it.  But I guess I just want to point out, before all heaven breaks loose, that although, yes, I did make this movie, and although, yes, it was without question the hardest spiritual journey I’ve ever had to go through, it doesn’t make me special.  Certainly not any more special than you.  

I’m the donkey Jesus decided to ride in on tomorrow night.  What He will unleash once He dismounts me and speaks to you…well…now THAT gets me excited.

Enjoy the film, everyone.  The King approaches…
