The Bible Project, My Birthday, Bob Barker and a Gift for You!

Hi Friendlings!

I feel like it was JUST my birthday a second ago, when Stephanie and I were downing Maple Bacon Bars and blowing out candles.

While downing donuts alone this year, I had a couple thoughts. I want to give YOU two things for my birthday, and ask you for one. May the odds be ever in your favor.

1. For You: The Bible Project

I am so pumped about this video series that my friends, Jon Collins, and Portland pastor, Tim Mackie, have been brewing up for some time. Regardless of your faith (or lack-thereof), I think you will find these intriguing. My gift is giving you the link. 

The Bible Project

Can’t find the videos? Watch them on YouTube HERE.
Want to learn how to donate?  Keep reading.

2. For Me: Piggy Bank of Pocket Change

These videos can only be produced if there is enough financial support to git r’ done. Your gift to me for my birthday is to give $1, $2 or $32 to keep these videos on the YouTube production line. I trust these guys and know the money will be put to good use (after they finish the 24k gold detailing on their Escalades.)

Stuff I Like: My Birthday

3. For You: The Illumination Project (for one lucky lad or lass)

If you donate anything to The Bible Project, consider that your raffle ticket. Leave a comment as your raffle receipt, and I will pick a birthday buddy as the winner. And in the voice of Bob Barker (who I have kissed), “Actual retail price is…$125!”

The Illumination Project Just wait ’til you see it in person. So many extra surprises!!

 

Now if I was a bettin’ man (and I am–how else do you think I got on the Price Is Right?), I would say it’s a good deal to give a buck or two and possibly win something you could turn around and sell on Ebay for $125.

Not to mention, it would make my birthday-day.

Thanks, all. You’re the best kinda online friends this girl could ask for!

From my Bob-Barker-lovin’ heart,

Joy

      Just donated. What a cool site! Thank you for sharing. I am the youth director at my church and can TOTALLY use this website as a resource for the kiddos 🙂 It would also be rad to win the Illumination Project 🙂 I am part of a small (but growing) and super lovely crew of young adults who meet weekly and I think they could really benefit from trying this. And most importantly, Happy Birthday JOY!! You are an encouragement and blessing to me a young-but-not-so-young, single lady trying to follow God’s will and discerning relationships the best way I know how. So many things I have read or seen on this page have been really helpful and resonate greatly with me! And there have been so many times where I have thought, “wow, I never would have thought about it that way.” Your honesty and humor are a great blessing. Praying this year is a amazingly wonderful year for you and this super important and needed ministry. Enjoy the day!
      Peace and Blessings 🙂

      First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I stumbled upon the Bible Project on YouTube a few days ago. Their Genesis 1-11 video was very eye-opening. I appreciate what they are doing, and I am happy to support their project. Have a wonderful birthday weekend and ditch the tea for some coffee. It’ll help you not wanna cry (facebook reference). ☕

        I’m TOTALLY back to Coffee. Such a beautiful wonderful gift God gave to the world. Thank you for the birthday wishes and I’m glad you enjoy what Tim and Jon are doing. They are amazing men.

      Happy Birthday Joy! I read your blog weekly and love the convos you have with your dad, your “Ask Joy” videos, and your guest bloggers! Thanks for telling us about “The Bible Project”. I made a donation and I look forward to their upcoming projects! Enjoy your birthday!

      Donated! And happy to do so. Thank you for sharing – what a cool project! I love the illustrations. By the way, Joy, I have to tell you that I met Natalie and her sisters from the band Joseph in Chicago while they were on tour. I heard about them through your interview with Natalie. I’ve been living in India for the past year and am back in the US to visit for the summer. When I found out that they were going to be in Chicago right when I was, I jumped on the opportunity to go see them perform. It was so great to meet them and tell them how I came to be there too. I’m going to be in Portland later in July. I’m hoping to connect with them again and would love to meet up with you for coffee or something if you happen to have any time while I’m there! I’ve been following LRN for a while now and have been really encouraged by your work. Thanks!

    • kimberlee thinks...

      Joy, I didn’t get to wish you a happy birthday, or is it today? The coffee hasn’t kicked in. But because I love you, I donated. It didn’t even have to be your birthday, it didn’t even have to be The Bible Project. That’s how much I love you. (and omit me from the drawing, I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy!) LOL

      • Joy thinks...

        It WAS the 13th so you were right on schedule! And you ARE worthy. Thank you Kimberlee.
