Our current summer teaching series Blockbuster Faith, has caught the attention of Time Out Chicago, the self professed guide to what’s happening in the most exciting cities on the planet. Chicago = exciting. Blockbuster Faith = Happening.

The article appeared on page 6 of the current print edition, with an estimated 40,000+ circulation, and online here.

A couple of weeks back we were visited by Editor Jake Malooley, who approached us after the service for a personal interview about the series. After a phone interview that evening, the article appeared just a couple of weeks later.

As a church we couldn’t be happier with the tone, focus and placement of the review. This is the kind of publicity you can’t manufacture. This is simply an answer to prayer. A God opportunity. What a relevant connection between culture and the gospel.

Another unexpected element of the article was the bespoke artwork created by Mitch O’Connell which depicts Jesus at the last super, surrounded by stars from Blockbuster Faith movies. Jesus isn’t just a friend of sinners, he’s a friend of vegetarian vampires.

Read the review for yourself and post a comment. And don’t forget to check out Blockbuster Faith at Destination this Sunday.
