A Thousand Questions
Those who attended the Willow Creek GLobal Leadership Summit this year were treated to a stunning piece of poetry in music and video this year. “A Thousand Questions”
This video follows the journey of a filmmaker—an “everyperson”—who is on a journey of discovery. It’s done in music video style, largely with scenes and visual metaphors cut to match the pre-existing soundtrack.
The audience has a “behind-the-scenes” view of a film being assembled—and part of the visual strength is the sheer number of assets that the filmmaker has collected—countless images, interviews, journeys, and travels.

Duncan,
Thanks for making the “A Thousand Questions” available on your blog. It was shown at Foothills Alliance Church in Calgary, Alberta, Canada the end of our Pastors sermon on Isaiah 6:1-8 and I was soooooooo challenged by it. This is our Fathers house and we are blessed and challenged at the same time. May the church rise up and be relevent in our culture once more. May God speak into our hearts, my heart, to say “Send Me”
God bless you.
David

This is amazing and is really needed. It will be shown at our next retreat for volunteer training. This is so powerful. It moved an entire congregation to move in ways unbelievable in one conference. Thanks

This is an amazing video, shown twice at our church. The second time it was as moving as the first.
Shame that it has been pulled from YouTube because of a copyright issue. Seems like we are missing an opportunity here to share a fresh perspective on Christianity with a broad audience.
