Howard rode his motorcycle down from Washington State to Milwaukee this past weekend for the 110th Harley celebration.

We caught up with him to get his behind-the-scenes perspective on 'From Chains to Freedom' and find out more about his heart for ex-convicts.

Thinking this morning about the needs of small town churches and how Heartland Seeds can help meet some of those needs. It's interesting how many conferences, ministries, and materials are created from big churches in big cities, and while they are great materials and impact many lives, don't always meet small town churches & congregations on their level. Hoping we can help with that, in some small way.

Had a great meeting the other day with Mike Mack, original founder of www.smallgroups.com, author of many books on small group ministries, and small group ministry consultant.

We talked about his perspective on how 'From Chains to Freedom' and future tools we create could work as great small group study tools, and how the power of personal testimony can lead people to greater faith in Jesus.

To find out more about him, check out www.michaelcmack.com!

Michael C. Mack leads Small Group Leadership, a ministry devoted to equipping, coaching, and supporting small group leaders and churches. The ministry includes local church training seminars, speaking at conferences, coaching and consulting, writing, and editing.

One more new video preview today! This one is personal to me (Phil) because I've known Mark for a while through church and school connections, and have grown to appreciate his heart and perspective on life.

Posting two new Heartland Seeds preview videos tomorrow! I've been working on my friend Mark Olson's story 'A Door Closed' & finally have all the pieces together.

He was in a men's Bible study with me during the time he was unemployed, so I had a chance to live the story with him in a very small way.

Also my friend Isaac Musgrave shot & edited a video for me at a ministry called Hooves of Hope that I'll be posting as well, and has sparked the idea for a new series. Great job Isaac & thanks for stepping up to the plate!
