The Work Of The People.

“The Work Of The People is leading the 21st century Church forward by visualizing theology, by enrobing the lectionary in stunning shapes and forms, and by supplying us with the kind of media we need to hold an effective, image-rich conversation among our faith communities and with our world. ” Dan Wilt, Founder, WorshipTraining.com

“The Work of the People has crafted and nurtured an environment that is producing aesthetically invigorating media springing forth organically from the creative imagination of a community of poets, artists, filmmakers and storytellers. Telling compelling stories through beautiful mediums is essential in our culture if we really want to communicate in transformational ways. TWOTP intuitively runs from mediocrity into the vast mystery of beauty in his pursuit of God and we get to participate and benefit from his adventures. ” Mike King, President/CEO, Youthfront

“The Work Of the People produce the smartest and snappiest and most gut punching videos for churches around the world. Nobody creates resources for worship with more originality and verve. ” Craig Detweiler, Author, Professor & Filmmaker

“I'm a word guy. Because the Word became flesh, I have hope that the enfleshed good news of God's movement can come alive in words. But I know from paying attention to words that an image can often say more in a moment than I'm able to say in a book. Which is why I'm grateful for image people. The church has no better image people than the folks at Work of the People. Watch and see... ” Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, New Monastic & Author (www.jonathanwilsonhartgrove.com)

“The Work of The People is producing videos which move my heart and mind even further in learning and pondering and thinking about the story of God. I am incredibly glad that they are doing this and the church at large will greatly benefit from their ministry. But I also can say, from knowing them it is not videos they are making, but it truly is a worshipful act and passion that they are making these videos from” Dan Kimball, Pastor of Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, CA and author of The Emerging Church (Zondervan) and Emerging Worship (Zondervan)

“TWOTP draws together some of the most incendiary theologians to talk about their most explosive ideas. This is an important resource for those who wish to light living fires in their own hearts and in the hearts of their communities.” Peter Rollins, Writer, Lecturer, Storyteller and Public Speaker

“I am glad to hear your work goes on. I am glad you are at it; we surely need folk like you, given the over-supply of cunning business people.” Walter Brueggemann, Author

“I'm not sure what I think of "new media" in churches but if there's any good in it I think The Work of the People have found it. For churches who are going to use new forms of media, you can't do better than these guys.” Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Prof. of Theological Ethics, Duke University

“I'm a long-time raving fan of The Work of the People. Travis Reed and his collaborators create resources that enrich, stimulate, challenge, educate, form and inspire. Since I know the heart and values that motivates this amazing crew, I encourage you to link up your creative impulses with theirs” Brian McLaren, Author, Speaker, Pastor, Activist, Networker

“We've been using your guys for about 2 years now for our visual liturgy, and have really been blessed by seeing scripture come alive. ” David. R. Robinson, Harvest Fellowship

“We often use your videos for our worship service and I'm particularly appreciative of how Biblically-based the content is ” Amy Sutherlun, Associate Pastor for Discipleship, First Presbyterian Church

“Beautiful, crisp, insightful and provoking... All these describe the resources available from The Work of the People. Using their material in our context has been a great way to enrich our own liturgy. Thanks TWOTP!” Andy Wood, Pastor, Winnipeg Centre Vineyard

“The Work of the People videos draw deep from the well of creativity and passion. They evoke mystery as well as spur us on to always link action with thinking rightly. Thanks be to God for TWOTP for their commitment to the local church and helping us be the arms and hands of Jesus.” Michael Scarlett, Co-Pastor, Sojourn Church of the Nazarene

“The Work of the People is a brilliant source of light in a world of cheesy, simplistic, low quality media being marketed to the church. I love the excellence of product. I love the focus on scripture. I love the engagement with real issues. Visual media is one of the primary communication languages of our present culture, and The Work of the People is fluent. As a pastor seeking new ways to present the ancient message of God’s love and the hope of the gospel I return to The Work Of The People every week.” Bill Heider, www.xrdschurch.com

“What I like best about The Work of the People videos is that they are thought provoking. They make me think. They encourage me to go beyond and see things in a new light, a new way. The beauty of The Work of the People videos is their indirectness, and there are never any syrupy "here's what you should think" messages. These videos give space for questions, for considerations, for truth, for transformation” Lilly Lewin, Curator, Thinplace : a pilgrimage of discovery and creativity
