[AC] WHAT WOULD JESUS BUY?

by Rick McKinley

I got a surprise email from Morgan Spurlock the day after Thanksgiving. His new movie What Would Jesus Buy? was premiering in Portland that weekend. You may remember Morgan from his movie Super Size Me. Morgan had heard about [AC] Advent Conspiracy and as we talked, we found we shared a similar desire to see the story of Christmas re-told. He was kind enough to invite my family and I to the showing.

The movie deserves a viewing and will start some great conversations on consumerism in our culture and the systemic effect it has had on our culture.

I really encourage you if you are in a city where it is playing to go see it and take some people with you. Morgan is a great guy and he agreed to come to Imago and let me interview him the next morning at church. Watch it below.

We have a better story to tell at Christmas. Let’s tell it well.
