DVD Volume 3B is Here!

February 25, 2009

volume-3b-spotlightWe’re very excited to announce that our next DVD Volume is finally here! You get nine of our best-selling mini-movies including the best-selling “I’m Watching You Dad”, and the award-winning “Welcome to Our Church.”

People have asked us why we’re calling it “Volume 3B”. Why not just call it “Volume 4″? It’s because Volume 3 just wasn’t big enough. It’s named in the same spirit of the immortal Spinal Tap quote: “…but these go to eleven.”

Check out all of the mini-movies here.

Finally, if you purchased a 3-Pack from us, you can upgrade to include this latest DVD Volume for $45. Just shoot us an email with the name you used to order the 3-Pack. We’ll search it in our records, and give you the discounted price.

Floodgate Celebrates Three Years

February 25, 2009

Three years ago, the three of us sat in a Starbucks, dreaming of a very uncertain future. Dave was willing to quit his job in retail advertising. Jason was willing to leave his job as a graphic designer at a large local church. And Gary was ready to stop working as a sole proprietor, doing mainly wedding and keepsake videos. Gary had created three church videos on a new site called Sermonspice, and we were convinced that this income could provide us with some consistency. We knew we’d have to supplement that with private client work.

So we ordered more coffee, took a deep breath, and launched Floodgate Productions.

A great friend offered us a small business loan, from his personal savings account. We bought three desks, and three Macs. We moved into a very nice, but very small office space.
Floodgate was born!

And this week, we’re celebrating three years of growth, fear, insecurity, excitement, relationship, and Kingdom impact. We are extremely thankful to God for this ride we’re on. And if you’re reading this, we’re also very thankful for you.

What Do You Do?

February 23, 2009

The other night I was making sure to finish up reading this weeks chapter of “Jesus Wants to Save Christians” from Rob Bell for my Homegroup. As I was reading through this chapter, entitled Genital-Free Africans(go ahead and chuckle… no one will judge you), a certain section, a set of questions, really stuck out to me and made me look inward…

What do you do when your religion isn’t big enough for God?

What do you do when your rules and codes and laws simply aren’t enough anymore?

What do you do when your system falls apart because the new thing that God is doing is better, beyond, superior, more compelling?

Wow… so, what do you do? What do I do?

This my sound a little funny… but I feel i need to allow God freedom to move outside my boxes. Now i know how that sounds… God doesn’t really need me to “allow” Him to do anything… but that’s how it makes sense to me to best wrap my mind around it. Remembering that God is in the process of redeeming me… redeeming us… ALL OF US! And in that process He can use any of us at any time to fulfill His purpose… whatever we’ve been through. We see that all over scripture. God uses liars, drunks, the old, the young, unattractive, abused, the broke, murderers, prostitutes… the list goes on and on.

I am finding my self, more and more, learning that the God i love…

the God i don’t understand…

the God i am trying to serve one step at a time…

is a God without limits…

that i make the boxes…

and He is in the “business” of continually breaking them down, to show me that He is more than able.
