I Am Second
Posted by Greg Atkinson under Branding/Design, Church video, Churches, Communication, Ideas, Internet Links, Intros and Announcements, Worship resourcesHave you heard of the new “I am Second” campaign? Here’s a little info about it from their website:
I am Second is a movement where significance in life is a shared value among people of all kinds. Actors. Athletes. Musicians. Business leaders. Your next door neighbor. People just like you… I am Second is designed to help people discover their purpose in life.
We showed the video of Korn’s former lead singer, Brian Welch, two weeks ago in our worship service. It’s powerful stuff. This is something worth checking out and considering getting involved with. You may have noticed a billboard in your city. I saw one here in Dallas the other day.
Our pastor, Pete Briscoe, shot a video with them, too. It’s pretty cool. You might be familiar with or heard of my pastor, but never seen him this raw and honest. Good stuff! Check it out HERE.

The video is exactly as you describe - raw and honest. Oh, that we could all acknowledge our need to be best and first, and then fully realize that we are first and best to our wonderful Lord and Savior! Thank you for sharing.
(I connected to your blog through Don Crane, a good friend of mine. I’m looking forward to meeting you, my brother, on the other side!)

Awesome videos. Thanks for sharing the link. Are the videos available for other churches to use? I’d love to be able to show the the Brian Welch video at our church.

Good question, John. I’m not sure. I think if you check back here in a few days they’ll have some more info: http://www.iamsecond.com/#/we_are_second/

Greg,
Nice to meet your pastor via his video. Seems like a very transparent & honest person. It’s cool you get to work with a guy like that!

Pete, along with his Mom & Dad are amazing
Christians with a deep, sincere, compassionate
and moving closeness with the Lord, our God.

I heard from one of my friends at http://www.simplyinteractive.net that it is a multiyear campaign. Looks like they have a lot more in store for it.

I have seen almost the I am second videos and they are very real, very personal stories of people putting them selves out there for the purpose of God. I recommend that site to anyone.
If you get a chance and you would like to see some very inspitational video meassages check out our myspace page that has the video our group has done. That are getting much media attention and are a blessing. Thanks for looking
