And like the Blues Brothers, we are on a mission from God, though ours is to glorify God through art. We want to give churches all over the country a theological and practical framework and example for how to use art and even marketing to praise God.

I think the common misconception about us creative, media types is that we want to turn church into some sort of flashy production or concert and let the Bible take a back-seat to our lights and videos. Thankfully there are people like you who do amazing design work and use your gifts and talents to help the church remain on the cutting edge of culture without watering down their message. I think even churches need to be reminded that media and graphics alone are not the answer. They're only a tool. After all, didn't Jesus say something like <blockquote>"Churches shall not live on Photoshop alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."</blockquote> ...or something like that.
