This motion graphics video was made for the Tearfund 'Journey' student justice conference. It is based on a track by Steve Leach from his album 'Right here in this room', where he has remixed a Louie Giglio sermon. We wanted to contrast the worldly hunger to consume 'more' with the...

A lot of you enjoyed the Christmas themed fractal images that Richard shared with us in December; I think this is the resource with the most comments to date (and they were all positive)! According to Richard, anyone can create those beautiful images, so below is a little tutorial from...
This song was written by Sam as a reflection on the themes of Lent, but it can work at any other time of the year. It focuses on meeting God in the hard places, allowing him to grow us through difficult times and trusting in him for a 'resurrection dawn'. ...
