Astonished and Afraid of Jesus

Recycle Your Faith creates, “Short and compelling videos [that] are posted every Monday at recycleyourfaith.com. Each video encourages spiritual exploration through candid interviews, thought-provoking topics, and stories of people attempting to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Various perspectives are presented and topics are left unresolved. It is our hope that these videos challenge you to question your faith and perhaps recycle it into something more closely resembling your personal experience with Jesus.”
And the film studio is a road trip, “In October 2009 Recycle Your Faith hit the road on an 8-month road trip! Craig Spinks and his wife Sara will be visiting about 30 cities in the US/Canada to shoot a butt-load of footage for the site, visit friends, and vacation a bit. Don’t worry, a new clip will still be posted every Monday while we’re on the road:-)” Their first stop was to meet with Vince Antonucci, a church planter on the Vegas strip and writer of I Became a Christian and All I Got was a Lousy T-Shirt, where he describe the Christian faith beautifully.
This is the first clip edited from Recycle Your Faith’s 8-month road trip to 30 cities in the US/Canada. It was shot last week in Las Vegas with Vince Antonucci who is planting a church for people who work and live on the Las Vegas strip. To hear updates about their trip, make sure you’ve subscribed to their monthly newsletters. They are also posting updates on their facebook and twitter pages.
Vince describes a subtle shift in thinking in this clip. He suggests that Jesus is less concerned about our beliefs and behavior and more concerned that we follow him. Is this distinction helpful or are the two synonymous for you?
