CoJourner: The Ultimate Explorer Commercial

Okay, the commercial says all it takes is a box of kleenex and a good listener to have significant conversations. Maybe really all it takes is a good listener. But how much more a good listener with the genuine love of Christ in his heart. Watch this...



or this...



But now for the rest of the story...

It turns out that it takes a little more than a listening ear and a box of kleenex. It takes the prospect of $200 if your footage is used in the commercial -- as revealed by our friends at Greenpeace:



So, now I'm even more convinced (from observation and personal experience) that what it really takes is a listening ear and the genuine love of Christ in your heart.

(Kleenex commercials are another media image manipulation. Our witness should never be...)

But it does make me wonder, what would happen if we put a couch on a college campus coupled with a genuinely caring, listening ear? Anyone want to try and let me know what happens?

PS - I really like the song by Starrfadu: Let it Out
