Wisconsin UMC Convo was super!

Chris and I had a GREAT time in the Dells. Now we know what a butterburger is and you haven't lived 'til you've eaten FRIED cheese curd.

Team WordPlay guest speakers @ WOW 2008

Hey Gang! Ryan and I just returned from speaking and performing at the 2008 WOW Conference at the Springfield Expo Center in Springfield, Missouri and all I can say is WOW!

The theme was Keep it Real! Drop the Act! and it was awesome to see so many students there (about 2,300 to be exact) trying to be real with their Creator. Ryan and I met so many amazing people and had a great time performing with bands Todd Agnew, By the Tree and One Star Story. There was also that crazy crew of extreme bikers from Chaos on Wheels rounding things out and keeping everyone thoroughly amazed.

We had an unbelievable time and look forward to seeing many of our new Missouri friends when we return to the state for our tour in June. Talk to ya soon!

In Him,
Chris

Team WordPlay reviews "Cloverfield"


Let me start by saying Chris gets nauseated doing jumping jacks, so watching a feature length film that is a handheld video throughout is not a good idea for him. He said he watched the green exit sign most of the time to keep from turning green and to keep from throwing up green stuff in his seat.

All in all I appreciate the attempt and actually thought they did a great job with a genre that doesn't really have a name. But, if you have a weak stomach either take lots of Dramamine or avoid this one all together.

Update from the set

Well, Ryan and I just finished our second day of shooting our world religions Fuel DVD for Lifeway and everything is going great. The crew is amazing and we are having a great time. It's fun to be considered an expert in something but I think Ryan and I are learning as much as we are teaching. What a scam!

It's fun to see that while there are so many different people working on this project we can all come together with one mind for the sole purpose of glorifying God and preaching His word. How cool that a couple of goofs like us can be used in such a way. Oops, I have to go, Ryan needs me to show him how to pronounce a few of the words in his script. Remember kids, stay in school!

In Him,
Chris

Ryan and Chris film more FUEL series

hey everybody,
we are in nashville, TN this week filming 12 more episodes of the DVD series on world religions for LifeWay. It was 12 degrees the morning we started the shoot, which is much chillier than the L.A. weather we are used to, but it was ok because we only had to endure the frigid temps from the car to the studio.

this is a new look for FUEL and is a multi-camera indoor shoot. enjoy some of the behind-scenes-footage...
