I first met Chandra when I was working with LifeWay's Customer Service tool, RightNow.  I had to train her on how to use the system as she was taking over the responsibilities for LifeWay's Extra, an online help for our Sunday School lessons.  My wife got to work with her extensively during the quarters she wrote for Extra, as Chandra was her editor.

Chandra is the editor for LifeWay's new YOU curriculum, a part of our new African-American initiative.  I wanted to interview her because I'm quite excited that LifeWay is reaching out from our traditional material style and trying to be more multi-cultural with our products.  The YOU curriculum is still a ways off (Fall of 2008), but Chandra already had some proofs she was able to show off.  I'm really excited to see what comes out of this team, and how they pave the way for us to be more relevant to other ethnicities.

One of the first people I really got to develop a friendship with here at LifeWay, outside of the Fuge office, was John Garner.  John had me come out and help run the media , lights and sound at RecLab for three years in a row.  During that time I got to know John's heart and passion for sports recreation.

This is one of my favorite video conversations I've done, simply because of how transparent John is.  During the conversation he breaks into his personal testimony and why sports and recreation are so important to his life.  John is one of the most genuine souls I know, and it was an honor to get to sit down with him for this conversation.

One of my very first days here in the office, Craig Webb pulled me into his office to help with some graphics he was working on.  I was confused at what his intent was, until I found out that LifeWay.com/pastors offers a bunch of sermon ideas, outlines, graphics and corresponding powerpoints for free!

Part of Craig's job is to get sermon outlines from pastors across the nation and compile a resource bank of materials for them to use.  I was surprised that I had been working here for five years and never knew about some of the amazing materials we just give away for free.

Chad Jordan is the editor for LifeMatters, LifeWay's Young Adult ongoing study materials.  It was great to sit down with Chad and talk about LifeMatters, and how this product is specifically designed to reach young adults, with their needs and culture in mind.  The design of the materials is a distinct departure from our previous materials, and looks simply stellar.

You can find out more about the Threads ongoing studies here.
