Interesting you should post this. The first thing I did Monday morning was to visit his website to read his biography and learn more about him.
What an awesome gift! I absolutely got chills during his presentation. One of the things that really struck me was the lighting changing from white to red; that is missing in the DVD so it doesn't have quite the same effect, but it's still really neat. This is the experiential connecting that really speaks to me personally and I appreciate that I belong to a church willing to embrace various mediums!
Funny thing - a couple of years ago during the whole Skip Christmas thing, Greg Chandler, Dave Cottingham , and I were all out at Hamburg filming some of the video pieces and this guy approaches me and wants to be interviewed. He starts giving me this long explanation of why Jesus and Christmas are so important to him - and he's treating me with this aire of familiarity. The whole time I'm wondering where I know him from.
Finally Chandler points out to me that it's Joe. He knew what we were up to and gave us some great, heartfelt footage.
Loved Joe's presentation! The images plus the music was very powerful. It would be nice to see him more often at Crossroads.
