by brent on October 28, 2009

This short film is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. A brilliant story of hope and redemption. I might have even sprung a little leak in the corner of my eye. it is long, but so worth it.

To view the film in a larger format go here.

Marriage Portrait – Bump

by brent on January 20, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I showed you a picture of my office during a shoot for an upcoming bump. Here is the final product we are using for a series on marriage. The series is called “The Marriage Portrait.”

Marriage Portrait Bump from Chris Johns on Vimeo.

I am becoming quite the hand model. You can see these digits in action here too. I didn’t know my hands were that attractive…. Oh wait they are not, I am just the sorry sucker that is around when they need a picture or video!

I feel used.

Plant Killer

by brent on January 15, 2009

plant This was my plant.

I was out of the office over the holidays. I didn’t water it. It died. I was sad.

I have always been the type of guy who wants plants and a pretty yard with flowers.

I think I have come to reality…. It is not going to happen.

But I have kept the dead plant on my window seal because it reminds me of the truths of John 15.

Yes, I am a plant killer.

Back in the Saddle

by brent on January 6, 2009

After a long break, I am back. Here are some of the highlights of the past couple of weeks.

Vacation Rocks. Last week I spent the whole week at home with my family. No emails, no blog, no twitter, just family. Usually my vacation is spent going to see family. It was a blessing.
My Wife Rocks. My wife has been incredible the last couple of weeks. She did some incredible stuff with our family during the Christmas seaso0n. Now she has gone above and beyond and has launched a “30 days until Brent is 30″ gift giving campaign. Thats right, she is giving me gifts everyday this month until I turn 30 on Jan 30th.
NorthWood Staff Rocks. Yesterday the pastoral staff of NorthWood spent a day of strategic planning together with Wild Works. We may not be the best preachers, worship leaders, etc. But I can’t imagine a better pastoral team. Each one loves and seeks after God and has laid down their life for a common vision. We had an incredible 2008, I can’t wait to see what God does in 2009.

Now back to work.

Ass or Sheep?

by brent on December 11, 2008

Input Needed.

So we are going to sing “What Child is This” this weekend at NorthWood. Here is the start of the 2nd verse.

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?

During rehearsals last night I realized that anyone under 40 is going to snicker when we sing it. So we went on a quest to find a one syllable animal that would have been at the manger. We came up with sheep.

So the question is, do we sing ass and let everyone try to hide their laughter, or do we change the words and sing sheep?

So this may be the only time you have permission to use what can be offensive language in the comments.

Should we sing Ass or Sheep?
