K-Love Asks "Why Jesus?"

I had heard the promos on the radio all weekend. K-Love wanted listeners to make a 30-second video of why they love and follow Jesus. Every time I heard the ad, it was as if the Spirit nudged me to do that. Until a few months ago, I didn’t have a video camera I could hook up to my computer, so this was new territory for me.

Driving home from my cousin Cody’s wedding on Sunday night, I heard the ad again and couldn’t shake the feeling that I was supposed to film a clip. But that made me think even harder about Why Jesus? Once I worked it out in my mind, I realized that I follow Him because He is real. If He were a creation of my own mind or a much-passed-down myth, I wouldn’t have faith because He would have failed me at some point. So…if I follow because He’s real–which also means all the things He claimed are true–then I should talk about when He felt most real to me.

So I did it.

And I didn’t tell. Anyone.

Which is the weirdest part, since I shared everything with everyone!

Here’s what came out:

Since Sunday night, several of my friends have heard it on K-Love and their website had it in the fist 18 videos they were showing. It’s so exciting to be using my social media skills to promo something so much grander than my book or my writing: my Savior!

    Grace, I did! It’s beautiful and I can’t wait to read it again. Your amazon rating was the next thing on my to-do list. Seriously. I can scan it in and show you so you don’t think I’m saying it just because you left a comment here and I felt guilty! ;P
