Director Jamie Moffett is making a film called The Ordinary Radicals which documents the Jesus for President tour, featuring authors Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw [h/t: Dan Ra]. Here is a brief description from their site:
In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do “small things with great love,” and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surrounding this 2000 year old faith… Traveling across the United States on a tour to promote the book “Jesus for President”, Shane Claiborne and a rag-tag group of “ordinary radicals” interpret Biblical history and its correlation with the current state of American politics. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.
It looks like a thought-provoking, engaging experience. Follow their journey here and participate in their blog community. Check out the trailer for The Ordinary Radicals:
Also, Dan Ra (jadanzzy from Merging Lanes) has gone full-on multimedia over at Sojourners — he has created a jarring video called They Will Have Their Reward. Dan also composed, sang and performed the music for the video. Watch They Will Have Their Reward below:
Thanks for posting! We’ll be on the road for next 11,000 miles follow Shane and Chris’s Jesus For President tour, then back to Philly for the post production. In theaters September 4th!
See ya!

Jamie — Can’t wait! By the way, any chance the J4P tour will stop in San Diego in between LA and the next stop (Arizona, I think)?
Looks like it’s a straight shot through to Arizona from what I’m hearing.
We’re posting tons of photos & video from the road. Check out theordinaryradicals.com/blog for updates & what nots.
Sending love from the road,

A simple, “no” works too.
