Why Am I Nervous?

I don't know why, but I'm about to go and shoot video for the message on Father's Day and I'm a bit nervous. We're trying something new. I'm going to be out of town then and since it's the last week of our Define The Line series, I didn't want to just hand it over to a guest speaker who hadn't been here to catch the whole idea and some of the messages. I actually really wanted to be a part of it. We toyed with the idea of a live teleconference type setup, but realized that at this stage we already have enough problems with simple setup some weeks.

So I'm going about to record a good chunk of the message in a story form (ala Rob Bell and Nooma videos) and then on Father's Day, Claude will pick up where I left off and finish out the message and the series. I think it will work great, but I'm nervous.

I don't manuscript my messages (big surprise to some) and I'm more comfortable standing and "reading" the audience. This will be a different experience. Me and a camera. Granted, editing can and will help, but still....too weird. Yet, you never know how things are going to turn out unless you give 'em a shot so, here goes. Check it out on Father's Day at Discovery.

Jason,

Thanks for dropping by my blog. So where abouts is Winerville NC. WE are located in Wilmington. I'd love to hear more about your church. We just celebrated 1 year in Feb. Sounds like we are both in the infant stages of something huge.

Feel free to steal anything you find on my blog. There is a nice mixture of original and stolen content. If you find something you like there is a good chance I probably stole it from someone else. I'm not that smart. Although the window/mirror thing was an original thought.

Anyway, stay in touch.

Jeff
