Ok ok, I realize I’ve already posted a few video clips over the last week. It’s not because I don’t have anything to say but rather I keep finding these great things that need to be shared with the world. I can’t tell you how much I love the late night crossover stuff. When Conan is on Colbert or Jon Stewart is on Jimmy Fallon’s show beautiful things happen. Watch the videos below and let yourself cry due to their beauty.
If your from Vancouver and you’re not yet familiar with the Innovators of Vancouver project then you’ll want to get acquainted! What Chris is creating through this project is not just a set of videos but an attempt to capture some of what makes the ‘Couve special. The most recent episode is out and it focuses on Anni Becker who is the heartbeat of downtown Vancouver life. Anni is also one of the persons who coordinated the fundraising efforts for my family (so you might see yourself in this video if you were at Pop Culture on that fateful evening!). Music in the movie is done by local band Lincoln’s Beard which is another reason to watch.
I hope in watching this you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of what is emerging in the downtown Vancouver neighborhoods. Look and wait for this powerful quote:
“When you find out what a community is truly passionate about that’s when true change can happen.”
Change is happening.
I couldn’t find all the videos I was looking for, but here are a few classics that give much needed evidence to finally prove once for all that Christians are weird…in all the wrong ways.

And one freebee that’s gotta be shown at least every six months…
I post this about every two years…and it’s time again. Fred Rogers beautifully captures what it means to follow Jesus, to live a life of love, and to honor the image of God in every single person. He may not use Jesus-y language but he lives it out and it’s inspiring to say the least.
Enjoy.
We played this video at Renovatus’ Thanksgiving celebration. It is deliciously wonderful and you should watch it twice.
