The Sidelines

Last weekend we got to play an awesome Franklin Graham event in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This is, of course, the home of Jason’s favorite hockey team, the Flames. He opted to wear a Flames shirt underneath his show clothes at the start of the show, so he could proudly rock Flames stuff later in the set…

It was a great time, and Ransom.TV posted a great video of our last song of the day…. Live Life Loud. Check it out!

Last night I just happened to flip over to CNN, and I saw John King interview Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham. It was about a 12 minute interview, and I was so appreciative of how direct Pastor Graham was….. He shared the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ…. directly and repeatedly. I counted 3 times.

During the interview he was asked many direct questions about Islam. He speaks out very strongly against Islamic teachings, but still always comes back to his main point…. that Jesus Christ died on the cross for ALL of our sins, and that salvation is ours if we but accept it through faith.

It was awesome to hear such a bold sharing of the gospel on CNN.

I managed to find the first few minutes of the interview here…..

We’re up in Alaska at the moment….. and one of the cool things about this place is that the gun laws are……….. well, let’s say “relaxed”.

Sure there’s some awesome experiences, a good amount of fun, and some music played… but there is also a lot of what I like to call “awkward sleep”.

Here is a photo montage of some “awkward sleep” moments from this past weekend….

This past weekend we played a festival in Colorado called HeavenFest. A TON of other bands were there, on like 7 stages… It was a great day!

One of the highlights of the day was Disciple’s performance. I’m biased, cuz some of these are my close friends…. but I still think they put on a killer show!
