This above video had me gripped.
The design/video production is only part of the inspiration here. Wow. Love this testimony. Can’t wait to hear how it ends.
God is still God, and He is Good.
This inspire you much?

It does. It takes something like this to sometimes have an impact. We’re seeing it with Zak and also with Matt Chandler who is battling brain cancer. James 4:14 says: “Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”
We just never know what it is going to be our time. There is planning and there is putting off. Sometimes we rationalize our putting something off as “planning” but we’re lying to ourselves. So it inspires me in the sense that there are things I want to do and I should stop putting it off because that chance may never come.
It’s also inspiring because in the face of death, Zak still exhibits a sense of joy and a strong love for God whereas others may be disenchanted or become bitter as a result of their trials.
What a great verse Jay.
I think I’ve commented on the content of this video elsewhere, so I won’t reiterate that other than to say that this is crazy. My immediate response to what he was saying was, “NO! This cannot be how it’s supposed to be!” But, it is how it’s supposed to be…God is still God, and God is still good.
As far as the video quality goes, it’s pretty phenomenal. It was extremely well-done, and I think that that shows particularly well in that you sorta forget you’re watching a video while you’re watching it. The scenes are memorable and powerful, and the transitions and effects are clean and help the video get out of the way of the message. Great clip.
Yes. I love the quality of the videos the NewSpring team pumps out.
Zac’s story and more importantly the way he has let God guide his decisions and his thought since May 2009 is very inspiring to me. Blogged about it here: http://gbrenna.com/Dn0W
Yep posted it on my blog a few days ago, very powerful. A message for everyone.
Zac died on Sunday. He blogged and tweeted and so did his Pastor, Perry Noble. It’s worth looking up. Very inspirational story.
