We just wrapped up an incredibly special weekend at Elevation that’s hard to put into words. Simply put, we made a movie.
To conclude our five-year anniversary celebration, we premiered our first feature-length film, This is How We Change the World. It covers the first five years of Elevation’s story. How God has blessed us. What it took to get where we are. The stories behind the numbers. Pretty much everything that we could say in 65 minutes.
And I want all of you to see it. Not to glorify ourselves. Or to say that our story is the only story worth telling.
Just the opposite. This film isn’t only about us and our story. It’s about what God stands ready to do for and through every person. Including you. As I said in Sun Stand Still, I believe our story hints at a God-sized transformation that is available to every follower of Christ. And every church.
What you’re not going to get is a formula. The five easy steps to church growth. The seven-point plan to changing the world. What you’re going to get is a story of how God has shaken a city. And through that story you’re going to see what God has always and will always use to change the world.
His favor. Sacrifice. Love. Hard work. Unity. Audacious faith. Risk.
And none of these are owned by us.
These elements can be a part of your life. Whether you’re a church planter or an entrepreneur. A retiree that just got finished or a college graduate that’s just getting started.
You can change the world.
We’ve put the documentary up on the Elevation Experience for this week only. Catch it while you can. If you’d like a copy for yourself or your team to watch after this week, you can buy one here. We’ve got a special price going right now for those who pre-order, so don’t wait too long.
What has happened here can happen there. Where your church is. Where you are.
I hope that our story inspires you.
To not give up on your dreams.
To sacrifice whatever it takes to be a part of a move of God that leaves you breathless.
To live a story worth telling.
To change the world.
In case you want a preview, here’s the first trailer we released a couple of weeks ago:
