We had two very thoughtful and complementary pieces come to our attention via Twittering pastors (@GregSimmons & @navets) that we wanted to share with you!

Greg attended one of our webcasts:
“The pieces I’ve seen from Deidox are, simply put, amazing. The short films highlight God’s impact in one person’s life. While there are other short films/videos that tell someone’s story, these are different. The documentary, first-person style makes the storytelling so personal, so real.”

Stevan wrote a glowing review for us:
“I have purchased and shown both of their current videos, “Lindsay” and “Robert” to our youth group during my LGLP series over the last few weeks. At $19.99/ea., the videos are comparable to most online short-form illustrative video price-wise, but I dare you to compare the quality. These are by-far some of the best-produced media for the Christian-community out there.”

Its posts and reviews like these that we love to read and share! And they are hugely helpful to the accumulating number of perked ears to “Deidox!” If you would like to write a review on your blog or website, let us know! We want to add your review and provide a link to your website to the curious on-lookers of Deidox.com.

The Deidox team members are going to be screening a Deidox film in a main session and teaching a seminar called “How to Tell Your Story through New Media – and Save Money” at Idea Camp, February 27th & 28th.

Here is an excerpt taken from the site:

The team from Chronicle Project will talk about video production and distribution strategies and techniques. We will also discuss successful on-line media tools available to help deliver your story to your audience. This would be helpful for non-profits/for profit organizations, filmmakers, or anyone trying to figure out how to share their new idea to a broader audience.

If you are going to Idea Camp, join us Friday @ 8:30.

We have been receiving many compliments and and positive reviews since Deidox launched last month. Check out some of the things that are being said:

In our world, stories aren’t just orally transmitted like in the days of old. They aren’t just Jesus telling his disciples about a metaphorical farmer. It’s not a bad idea, and sometimes this is a great option. But in our world, stories can take you so close to a different life that you can feel it.

However you tell it, it’s important that you prioritize these stories so people can understand and believe that as humans, we’re capable of so much. Perhaps you need to use a story from Deidox or the ever-popular Nooma. Or it could be that you need the pastor to interview a member of your congregation about their time at the soup kitchen.

Think of Deidox… as short narrative-driven films featuring glimpses of the Kingdom at work in our midst. In other words, these are documentaries of the Missio Dei in action. Not only are they stories told through a great medium, but they display the power of the imagination when lead by God.

The point of these films is to inspire the viewers to “to realize anew how big and active God is, how He is reaching and changing lives in all countries…” as well as support those individuals whose stories are being told through the films.”

One thing we know about the 20-something generation is that they are moved by story and especially stories of God being active.  The days of ministry simple doing using apologetics and propositional truths to share their message are largely over.  If your church wants to reach out effectively to this generation this might be a great resource to check out and see how it might foster interaction and discussion.”
