add your vox to my cafe of the dead project

hey vox’ers, (voxians? voxites?)

In my weekly cafe ministry to young adults (which is going amazing/hardest thing I’ve ever done, btw - sorry I never update) I am doing several events called “cafe of the dead“.  (first one is this Friday)

Essentially we (hopefully) will be wrestling through the concept of what it means and what it looks like to die to ourselves and live for Him, 2 Corinth 4:10, etc.  The core element of the evening will be an intensive look at passages from the bible that relate to this.  Other possible elements of these evenings will be looking at other references, historical examples, people’s stories, prayers that are almost too dangerous to pray, etc.

Where you come in

I thought it might be interesting for my young adults (and for me) to hear from you whom I refer to as my blog family on these matters.

I am looking for anyone out there who feels they might have something to say on this, and has access to a vid camera, to do a few minutes (or more) of video of yourself giving us your two cents worth.  Essentially a video podcast kind of idea.  Send me the file or link and we’ll incorporate it into our cafe of the dead.

Format

Give a greeting to me (Greg) and Stir (our young adults here at Riverwood).

Introduce yourself, tell us where you’re from and what you do.

Talk for as long or as little as you want about dying to self/risk/giving it all etc.  It could be some comments on relevant scripture, it could be your own story of wrestling with the concept of dying to self, it could simply be your gut feeling on the topic.  If you had 5 minutes to try and influence and inspire a group of young adults… what would you say?  What keeps you up at night?  Maybe it’s not even directly related to our topic but has something to do with risk, adventure and sacrifice as followers of Jesus.  Say it and see what happens!

Timeline:  It would be great to have at least one by this Friday, April 7th but I understand this is short notice.  Future cafes of the dead are the first Friday in May and the first Friday in June.

Thanks for considering this.

Greg
