Check out Zach and Jacob's Well people on CBS National News

Last week I spent the better part of three days with Zach Exley.  I loved every second I spent talking to him.  He is truly a refreshing and interesting person.  He does not have a church background and yet he is truly curious and intrigued by Christians, their churches, traditions and views.  I was drawn to his unique way of looking at church and culture. 

Here is a description of Zack I found online, "Zach speaks on progressive strategy as well as online organizing, advocacy and fundraising. He has appeared as a commentator on Hannity & Colmes, Hardball with Chris Mathews, Scarborough Country, All Things Considered, the Diane Rehm Show, BBC News Hour and others. He has been profiled by the Wall Street Journal, New York Observer, the Los Angeles Times, CNN Presents, Wired News, and other publications."

Check out his blog Revolution in JesusLand.  We spent the day together on Thursday at Youthfront Camp South.  While there CBS National News called him about interviewing Christians about the upcoming election.  He asked me if it would be good to have them check out Jacob's Well.  On Sunday morning a CBS news team stood on the sidewalk interviewing our congregants about the Presidential Elections.  They hit a couple of other churches also.  It should air sometime this week.

After the life changing trip to Israel, I couldn't wait to travel to another middle eastern country. How many times have you traveled there? I am going to guess 3! :-)
