Deidox

Have 5 minutes to spare to help Deidox out? This week the Collide Awards are taking nominations for their yearly “best of” and then voting will happen next week. We’re a little late to the nominating (a friend told us today), so if you’re a fan of Deidox here’s what we need you to do:

1) Go to the Collide Magazine blog HERE – http://ow.ly/ICFo

2) Nominate Deidox for “favorite church media producer” and Li Yang for “favorite church media short film.”

3) Submit it. (or fill the rest out if you want to vote more). That’s it!

Thanks so much! Deidox is definitely a newcomer and underdog in these awards, but we figure it’s worth a shot. It would be pretty cool to be nominated, and it would definitely help more churches find out about Deidox.

You asked and we’re responding. Deidox | Lindsay is now available for public sharing and embedding on your blogs, facebook pages, and websites.

Though many businessmen and businesswomen would advise against it, we’re throwing “standard Christian media operating procedure” to the wind and making the entire Deidox | Lindsay film viewable online through your websites. So please, share and dialogue away.

Grab the embed code from the video above (the boxes on the top right of the video), or at http://vimeo.com/3312951.

P.S. Our next film, Deidox | Dawn, comes out September 8. It’s a Deidox take on one of the most under-appreciated groups in America – moms.

Welcome to the new Deidox website! Thank you for checking us out, we hope you enjoy our premier films, featuring a Pay-What-You-Want option – Lindsay, Robert, and coming in February, Deon. All three of these films comprise the Deidox Beta phase. These are the fruits of the work-in-progress that is the Deidox series, which we hope will in the future host dozens of films documenting the activity of God in and through His people.

We have had some great feedback and fantastic articles written by viewers in the recent weeks! Here are some excerpts from the publications:

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.”
