Zeroing In
Target Audience:
Bullseye – Homeschooling fathers who sense God’s pull to be greater spiritual leaders in their homes
Circle 1- Wives of the “bullseye” fathers
Circle 2 – Christian homeschooling parents who haven’t yet considered the above need
Circle 3 – Christian parents who don’t homeschool, but need to be challenged to take greater responsibility in discipling their children
Outer Circle – Church leaders who are willing to see the need to teach and support parents in their God given responsibility to train their children
Purpose: to challenge Christian men to take up the responsibility that God has entrusted to them, namely to be the spiritual leaders in their homes, to train up their children in they way they should go, so when they are old they will not depart from it. Our prayer is that, whether they choose to homeschool or develop a home business, they will choose to step up to their calling to be vigilant in their role as spiritual leaders.
Reason: Christian families are losing their children to the world in unprecedented numbers due to the breakdown of the Christian family. We have a family leadership crisis, more specifically, a fatherhood crisis, which is having a devastating impact on the spiritual condition of our children. Parents need to make their children’s spiritual welfare their number one priority. Fathers, in particular, need to make this their personal responsibility and not just leave it to the “experts.”
Synopsis: This film highlights the efforts of a few Christian men who take extreme measures to directly train up their children in the way they should go. They do this by not only educating them at home, but by developing businesses which allow them to be with their children on a regular basis, living side by side with them, following the commands of Deuteronomy 6.
Editing!
Our first full edited version of the film is one hour forty five minutes! Yikes! We have to trim about 50 minutes to get down to our time budget. There is so much good material from our interviews that we will have to cut. Please pray for the Lord to give us wisdom as we start to cut it down.
Jurgen Beck – Composer
We are very pleased that today we made arrangements with Jurgen Beck to be the composer of our documentary. Jurgen has a passion for the message of our film, which makes him a real partner in what we hope to accomplish. This is a very exciting development for us, as well as an answer to prayer. We are looking forward to working with him. You can check samples of his work at his website – http://www.jurgenbeck.com/.
Documentary Snapshot
Sherwood’s “Courageous”
How exciting to see Sherwood Pictures theme for their next film production. (Sherwood Pictures are the makers of Fireproof, Facing the Giants and Flywheel.) God is leading them to speak about the same issue he has led us to – fathers discipling their children. This is an issue which is close to our heart, as our enemy makes great strides in breaking up the family. Christian fathers are called to be the spiritual leaders of their homes. We are addressing this through our documentary. Sherwood Pictures is doing it with a narrative feature film. Please pray for both projects, that they will have a huge impact on our culture! Check out their announcement at http://www.thenextsherwoodmovie.com/.
Remembrance/Veteran’s Day and “History With John Brown”
Today is the day people all over the world gather together to honor and remember fallen heroes, those who fought for our freedom, and those who sacrificed all that they had for something they believed in. And as we all take this day to remember, not just World War I, but all wars, I thought it would be appropriate to present to you my next video, History With John Brown. The property he lives on was located right on the battle lines of the Union and the Confederates, marked with its own aspects of history. Honor the fallen soldiers, who fought for their country. Join John Brown as he describes just a few of the things he has found and discovered about that piece of land.
By the way – I apologize greatly for the abrupt ending. I forgot to charge my battery.

We’re Working Hard!
I am here to apologize on our lack of posts. We’re currently in the midst of major editing, discussion deals with composers, and marketing our latest product, Amazing Math: Subitize Me! However, I am currently working on some more videos to bring to you, so keep your eyes open. Expect videos such as a short history clip from John Brown, a time lapse, and more family specific videos!
Also, if there’s anything you’d like to know, questions, suggestions, or ideas, please do not hesitate to let us know!!
Update
Well, we have been busy editing as well as doing marketing for the Amazing Math videos. We met with the Math person for the Calgary Board of Education the other day and she loved it! It was a very positive meeting!

“C-Roll – The Brown’s Interview”
Viewers rejoice!! The second installment of my c-roll footage series is in, and you get to watch it. Enjoy this wacky, and yet again confusing, bit of material.
And again, these piece of footage was just one random blip of video, not meaning to make any sense. It doesn’t help that my battery died.
I apologize for any internal hemorrhaging caused.
