This video was shown to me by Chris McAlister on Easter at Discovery Church. Loved the creative imagery, poetry & attention to detail throughout the entire production.

  • Speaking of that talk, subscribe to Stanford’s Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders podcast in iTunes. Pure Gold!
  • 2 nights ago, my graphic artist of a wife listened to a presentation by The Heads of State. In light of that knowledge learned there, we’re going to dramatically change the way she’s engaging her art & her prospective market. If you want her to design an album cover, book cover, wedding invitation, concert poster or illustration for your publication, don’t wait.
  • Have you caught the 102B virus? I have.

Happy Birthday @Alliepal!

Today is my favorite holiday of the year! It’s the birthday of Allison Lehman.

Top 10 things you need to know about Allie:

  1. She’s a graphic design ninja.
  2. She is the human version of our dog Desh.
  3. Thoughtful. She is very.
  4. Without trying too hard, she’s a social media champion.
  5. She cries at all emotion moments on TV.
  6. She writes my favorite blog.
  7. The most committed, loyal being on the planet.
  8. She’s incredibly creative and imaginative, but isn’t your stereotypical, flaky artist.
  9. Softest skin ever.
  10. I make moonbeams shoot out of her fingertips.

Catching the Creep

by Adam Lehman on September 27, 2010 in Art, Culture with No comments

Glancing around the landscape of your life, I’d bet you’ll find something: creep.

Several years ago, Twitter & Facebook promised to be fun places to connect. But now we look around and they’ve crept into so much of our life.

Remember when you were in college and promised yourselves that you’d never pick a career simply because of the paycheck. Years later, you look back and notice that your career has devoured so so so much of you life. That job you took just to pay the bills for a season was a creep. It crept in and swallowed tons of your life.

Text messages creep and interupt your work. Addicting websites creep into your life. The success of video games is solely reliant on creep: buy me for fun, but grow addicted. Cigarettes, alcohol, mountain dew, coffee & pornography are built on creep.

Start with just one. Just for the fun of it. No big deal. No porn addict starts off saying, “I hope someday I’m so reliant on the instant gratification of erotica that I’m incapable of properly functioning in real-life relations.” But alas, creep happens and it gobbles a person up.

A Video Metaphor for the Incarnation

by Adam Lehman on September 6, 2010 in Art, Faith with 1 Comment

This video explains the incarnation:

We were 2-dimmensional objects but a 3-dimmensional God entered humanity. We used the words and expressions to talk about Him that were available to us, but they couldn’t really describe him. What words would a circle use to describe a sphere?

Ministry Links

What UP! It’s LINKFEST 2010!

Youth Ministers, keep your senior pastor in the loop without annoying him/her. Josh Griffin has an great example of doing this. (Also, senior pastors, feel free to do the exact same thing with your staff.)

As your youth group’s small groups get rolling this fall, here is a list of 35 conversations starters. Put these in the hands of any volunteers who spend relationship time with students.

My friend Kevin and I are starting to work on a project called artFWD. The mission is this: years and years ago, in another age, the CHURCH had a monopoly on the art market. Churches and leaders valued beautiful art that helped tell a story (architecture, painting, liturgy, stained glass windows, etc). Today, there are more art forms than there ever have been in all of history. We’re bringing art back, by moving forward.

My post, “Dear Church,” Got LOTS of traffic and one really lame comment. Oh internet… :)

Twitter can teach you this:

“We need to understand the church as the effect of discipleship, not the cause.” from Mark Christian

“100% Pastoral Guarentee: No matter how much you give, someone will think you’re inadequate.” from Jamie Arpin-Ricci

Youth Ministry Tweeter of the Week: Graham Buck (mostly because he dominated on helping me jailbreak my iPhone)

Videos you gotta watch:

Josh Garrels “Just Doin Your Thing”

Menomena “Evil Bee”

“Catalyst” by Linkin Park (with lyrics)

A video that reminds me of the people I’m surrounded by

Thanks to Vince for sharing this video. This video made me think of all the people who have helped me out. We all need someone to pick us up sometimes. Enjoy.

An Architect Told me that Churches Aren’t Buildings

by Adam Lehman on June 22, 2010 in Art with 2 Comments

Jay Hoskinson of Hosk Architecture wrote an interesting article entitled “should churches build buildings?”

Now coming from an architect, I’d expected some explanation as to how church history is littered with innovative & progressive architecture and how today’s church should follow their lead. Well, Jay goes on to explain….

Churches are local mission centers. Your congregation are your missionaries. Keep them outside your walls and in your community as much as possible.

but it will not steal your substance

by Adam Lehman on February 20, 2010 in Art, Music with No comments

And death is at your doorstep
And it will steal your innocence
But it will not steal your substanceBut you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we’ll hold your hand
Hold your hand
