Exponential Conference & Video Fun

Sunday September 27, 2009   ~   2 Comments

Transformation Verticalbanner-edge.jpgThe folks at The Exponential Conference are a never-ending source of creativity. They have an RV. That's right, a conference RV. It has its own web site and Twitter account. They even made a video to introduce the RV.

They are touring the planet as part of their promotion of the Exponential Conference. Exponential gathers about 3000 people to each year in Orlando to talk about church planting and ministry. I will be sharing again this year presenting some research and inspiration from my new book Viral Churches: Helping Church Planters Become Movement Makers. The book will be released at the conference itself.

Well, the boys in the RV came by my house on Saturday. I was one of several people they visited in Nashville including Thom Rainer, Pete Wilson, and Anne Jackson. Some pretty fun stuff.

Needless to say, it was a guerrilla-style shoot. My person favorite part is that each video seems to begin with some version of what you say just before you start filming. ;-)

The guys were great fun and good sports. Josh Jackaway is the guy doing the interviews and he wants to be a church planter, so he is OK in my eyes! And, his cameraman, Corbin Franklin, put up with a lot of foolishness from me.

Here are my four videos:

First, from my exercise area over viewing my exercise plan and what I read on the elliptical:

Next they wanted to see my kitchen where I describe my food and how it is different than my wife's food. For the record, I don't eat what she eats. ;-) I thought it was funny that this video got aggregated into a weight loss site.

And, probably more importantly, here are two videos with viewer questions about church planting:

Enjoy... and be sure to visit the sites involves:

The Exponential RV
The Exponential Conference
The Exponential Network

And, I will see you in Orlando April 19-22, 2010.

Ed, I'm a long time reader, first time poster. And I love the videos.

One small point however, your wife had a bottle of maple syrup in the fridge & the point was made that this bottle was somehow "special" because it had a organic label on it.

As the president of the South-East New Brunswick Maple Producers Association (SENBMP) the largest association of producers in NB. (NB being the second largest producer in the world) let me assure you (and your wife) that all maple products are produced only from the pure sap of the sugar maple tree.

Yes we do drill holes in trees to sweeten your weekend breakfast.

And the "organic" label only means that the producer has paid a marketing firm for the name. Since all maple products are by definition the product of a natural process deep in the forests of Eastern Canada & New England.

Pax,

(BTW I am a church planter here, and I love your blog!)

Kevin,

LOVE that information. I am convinced that all of that organic stuff is bogus anyway. ;-)
