Being the star quarterback for the USC Trojans is an honor for Matt Barkley. The last three before him: Mark Sanchez, Matt Leinart, and Carson Palmer, are each stars in the NFL. Experts are projecting Matt to join them in the professional ranks. For now, however, the junior at the University of Southern California has a platform in which the spotlight is shining on his every move, including his faith in Christ. He takes the next step in sharing that faith through an I am Second film premiering on Monday, November 7th.
The music scene in Evansville, Indiana may not be as large as New York City, but it is vibrant nonetheless. So when Sean Little performs, people are listening. Perform it is, since his energetic hip-hop/rap requires him to transform from the soft-spoken family man he is away from the stage. But it wasn’t always that way. Only through Christ working in his life has he developed a peace to help him calm the dysfunctional he lived out earlier in his life. His film also premiers November 7th.
I am Second was in Nashville recently filming a major country music star whose film will be released in several weeks. Also filmed in Nashville were several local personalities, a national reality show participant and a retired international sports celebrity. Patience, please. They will all be released soon.
Filming in Dallas also will take place in November with an award-winning baseball star, spanish-language television personality and former model. Any guesses as to who?
The release of I am Second’s Lecrae film in September generated the most initial views of any film to date and helped push web traffic to its highest one day total ever.
Here is a recent post from the I am Second Facebook page. It only takes a wristband to help change someone’s life.
I have to share this! Today after work two guys who I have grown to know asked me to the bar for some drinks, now I am not a drinker but I said why not I could use a good soda! We were there sitting relaxing after our 10hr day and one of the guys has his girlfriend come join us. She sees my I Am Second band and asked me about it. I say I wear it as a constant reminder to know that no matter how I feel someone will always love me and that one man can make a difference to show people this world only has to much to offer. Basically to keep me in line- lol. BUT!!!! 5 hours later I am preaching my life with the gospel and helping three people reach Christ, the couple are coming to church this Sunday, the other guy asked for forgiveness and is allowing me help him. 5 hours of sharing my love for Jesus and helping people who were in a world of darkness see the light in Christ….all from a wrist band, so blessed for the chance to spread God’s word and so thankful.
