If you are recovering from the flu and have the time (or if you have 20-minutes of free time available), I think you’ll enjoy this short film, “The Man Who Never Cried”.

Ralph Winston has never cried; not when he was a baby, not when his heart was crushed by his high school sweetheart, not even when he first saw Steven Spielberg’s E.T. So when his father dies, Ralph – at the age of 32 – decides to embark upon a true emotional journey with hopes to shed his first tear before the funeral – and before it’s too late. Starring Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers, Lost), Jess Weixler (Teeth, Peter & Vandy) and Madison Burge (Friday Night Lights seasons 4 & 5), The Man Who Never Cried aims to plumb the depth of human emotion: it’ll make you think, laugh – it might even make you cry.

At The Gathering, Global Partners debuted a new video, “We Are Global Partners”. As my friends at the Techology Podcast have already agreed-with, it was definitely one of the best videos presented at our conference and made me proud to be a part of the Wesleyan Church and excited to see our denomination making leaps in the use-of-technology/video category!

Here is the video:


Now it’s not just those other guys who create high-quality church media!

It has been an amazing few days here in Jacksonville – even though the weather has been less Florida-ish than we would’ve expected/liked.

I am posting this blog from the Indianapolis International Airport where in just a few minutes Jessica and I will be boarding our flight that will eventually take us to Jacksonville, FL this afternoon where we will be participating in The Gathering conference.

This is the second-ever “Gathering” and will include some 2,000 Wesleyan pastors and spouses from across the country! We are very much looking forward to the time of spiritual feeding and renewal!

I have the honor of participating in tech-ways with the “emUrgency” pre-conference that begins tomorrow morning. We’re live-streaming that event at iamformed.com

Jess has been asked to help with registration tomorrow, so if you’re coming to The Gathering, look for her smiling face at the registration table!

The event features worship leading by Paul Baloche and a few of our speakers include Mark Batterson, Michael Smalley, Brenda Salter McNeil, Dr. Wayne Schmidt, and Rev. Keith Loy. The event is being emceed by Pastor Benji Kelley, too!

It has been QUITE the trip for us to be a part of this trip and we know God is going to do GREAT things!
