Title: Sold their Soul to Rock n Roll
Target audience: Youth & Young Adult version, Adult version
Focus Questions: Why our mindsets work better when we listen to music? What does it mean that music is universal? What is the greatest danger of music for our younger generations?
Focal Points: The false mindsets we have after listening to music for a long period of time. Why music art, lyrics, and the proconsa of the music world is so deadly to our spirit. How music brings the great god into play- “the image of cool” Music leads us to "Us vs. Them" theology. How music fits into the bigger picture of eschatology.
Description: View footage, learn inside concepts of the music industry, pop stars and song lyrics that effect young people's minds and their way of seeing things. Music is very powerful, and you will see how and why it can bring a spirit of depression, anger, bitterness, rebellion. You will also see how things like music as well as other variables are important is shaping the world for a system of anarchy and chaos.

Title: Wake-UP church - it's time to embrace a new living hope
Target Audience: Churches
Focus Questions: How do we reclaim the church of Acts? How do we reclaim what the churches have given away through the centuries? What is our living letter saying about our church? (Based on 2 Cor 3, Rev 2)
Focal Points: Brief History of the “marks” of church. What is it going to take to inflame the inner working of HIS body. Details on how we have compromised many practices of the church, and how the church might recover these practices. We are working modernity ideas in a post modernity world… what does that mean? The relevance we seek is that the church becomes relevant to its own people by its own message of God's salvation in Christ and thus relevant to others. Practical ideas to help the church become healthy.
Description: The First and Second Great Awakenings on through the Billy Graham crusades, to the development of seeker-friendly mega-complexes today, testify to the intensity of “saving souls.” Yet this emphasis tends to diminish, if not ignore altogether, the meaning of the church as the community of the new covenant in Christ, serving its Lord in all spheres of society, and life, as well as bringing healing, sight to the blind, and being a disciple in the NOW. With all the things happening in the world, with church solely focused on certain things, and church taken lessons from business, free marketing, and business techniques, rather than the gospel. How do we continue the works of Jesus. And how do we truly make the church to become relevant to its own people by its own message of God's salvation in Christ and thus relevant to others.

Could religious leaders today be making a similar mistake by misunderstanding the prophecies of His second coming?
Focal Points: Where do we get our beliefs from; pop culture or the Bible. What is different from the 2 nd century church and the church today? And how does that play into pledging allegiance to a system of anarchy and chaos or pledging allegiance to our LORD? How Antichrist has come to us with a name? Interpretations of end-times.
