Alex and Brett: Livestream Video Presentation
Tomorrow afternoon Brett and I will be helping WaterBrook Multnomah test out a live video streaming presentation — and we’d love to have you join us. We’ll be talking about our new book (and the title we finally settled on), the conference tour this year, and a new idea about what it means to be a rebelutionary.
The presentation should last about ten minutes — and we’d appreciate your live feedback. The video stream will go live at 3:30 PM (EST) at the link below. When you click the link there will be a short advertisement before you are redirected.

Wow, guys, this is so exciting!! I simply regret that I’m not going to be around a computer, pretty much all day tomorrow. Will this be posted on YouTube or Tangle? I hope so, but if you can’t, please do a re-cap of your talk ’cause I really don’t want to miss anything!
June 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Will it be possible for those who cannot see it live to see a recording?

That’s awesome! I live overseas, though, so that will be at 4:30 a.m. my time. Will there be a recorded video to watch later?
June 25th, 2009 at 7:43 am

June 25th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I second the motion for a text recap. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get to watch it due to schoolwork.
June 25th, 2009 at 9:14 am
My filter blocks livestream.
Can I third the motion for a recap? 
Actually, I think I’m fifth-ing the motion.
June 25th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I am glad I’m home-schooled! I got permission to watch it. I am for the recap to though, just in case…
June 25th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Cool! I can’t wait to see it!Which means I’ll be back here in about three hours… Sweet! Also a recap would be nice…in case I develop short term memory loss
just kidding.
June 25th, 2009 at 10:53 am
ahhh I think I’ll be at a dentist appiontment at that time
June 25th, 2009 at 10:59 am
I will try to listen in.
June 25th, 2009 at 11:08 am
Guys, I was just wondering; when are you going to post the next portion of the
“Too Young to Die” series. Take your time; I was just learning alot from those posts. Thanks.
A sister in Christ,
Sarah
June 25th, 2009 at 11:14 am
I’ll be watching!!
June 25th, 2009 at 11:59 am
That’s great! Time is quite fine for me in Europe, but is the stream gonna be available worldwide? And how long will it be?
June 25th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
worked for me!!!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
i love watching the outtake part beforehand
June 25th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Just wanted to let you guys know that the streaming worked pretty well for me and that I am still very excited for the new book and I’m praying for you guys!
Every blessing,
~Camille
June 25th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
It was great guys…somehow hearing you say things made more of an impact than reading it…now I can’t wait for the conference in DC. Everything worked pretty well, and I hope you do it again sometime soon!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
The streaming worked well. Yes, we could hear you loud and clear. Great job! Youguys always inspire me.
June 25th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
It worked well for me. Just a few little break ups but nothing major. Sound was great, too. Thanks for sharing with us! We’re continuing to pray for God’s grace and wisdom as you work on the book.
June 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
That was so cool! It worked for me! I loved what you said about how we should someday be martyrs…. I agree and that was really great that you said that.
June 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
That was bery interesting, the comments on the side were rather distracting though.
Jackson
June 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Thanks Guys! It worked well for me and I enjoyed it, I like forward to how God will be using you two!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Great stream, guys! It worked very well-only a couple freezes. I’m very excited about what God has planned for you & all Rebelutionaries. I’ll be praying for both of you!
God Bless,
Katie
June 25th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
The video worked well for me and I can’t wait to read the new book!!
God Bless,

June 25th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Hi guys! Just finished watching it. Please do it again!
You really convicted me today. I haven’t been doing hard things with the right mindset. I need to focus on Christ and not on myself. Maybe the moto of the Rebelution should be “Do hard things for Christ’s glory” instead of just “Do hard things”.
Thanks Brett and Alex.
Sarah
June 25th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I can’t tell you how excited I am for the book to come out!!!! It sounds like just the thing that will encourage ‘Do Hard Things’ in my own life. Thanks for all of your hard work on it!
FYI… my feed was great, heard you the whole time. Hopefully that you can do it more often!! I’m praying for you!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Hi Alex and Brett! I just watched it and it was great! Do it again, please!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
That was great, guys! A little choppy at times, but still fantabulous! Do it again, please!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I just finished watching. It was great to hear your thoughts!
Alex- I don’t know if you remember Alicia from the Louisville conference. ( we were the Iowans with Greg ) She was the one who wanted to make the behind the scenes video. A huge part of the reason she was interested in that was because of the making it clear that you should glorify God and not yourself.
I won’t go into major detail of why we think it would help because that would make a long wall post. =)
June 25th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Thanks for doing that guys,It really helped me to focus more on what God thinks than what others think when I do “hard” things.
Congrats on finding a excellent title in my opinion for your new book!!!
I look forward to reading it!!!!
God bless
June 25th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Hey Alex and Brett.
The video was awsome, and sound was perfect.
I hope you guys do it again soon =)
Blessings
Alesia
P.S I can’t wait to read the new book, excelent title!

aw man, i’m sorry i missed it
is there a recording? or vid on tangle or something?
and what was the title of the new book?
June 25th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Hi!
Just wanted to let you know…it was terrific!
I liked the part about doing hard things for the right reason. You really convicted me there!
PLEASE do it again!!!
June 25th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Don’t worry Alex, we heard you all speak in the video.
It worked well and we’re excited for the new book! Will keep you in our prayers.
June 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Hi Alex and Brett,
I just wanted to let you know that the video was wonderful and very inspiring! I didn’t get to see it live, but I did watch it a few minutes ago… and look forward to the next one!
I love what you guys said about the verse that says “If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.” (1 Corinthians 15:19) I had never really wondered why we should be pitied. This was very thought provoking… and made me wonder if I really am living the way God intended Christians to live.
Also, the idea that there should eventually be Rebelutionary martyrs was incredible. I just read “Live Like a Jesus Freak” by DC Talk in the past couple days, and finished it about 45 minutes before I watched your video. This really is a message that needs to get out. I wonder if I really am living so passionately for God that others would have a problem with it… or would I be easily overlooked?
So anyway… thank you! I loved the video, love the blog, and really appreciate the chance to connect with other passionate young people through the Rebelution!

Re-viewing instructions:
Hey everyone, I found out how to view the video if you missed it! Just go to the link in the post, and below the video are some buttons. Click on the one that says “on demand” and you can see it. Glad I figured it out, because I really wanted to see it but there was no way I could be on the computer at that time!
June 25th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Oh, thanks Tori! You just made my day. Totally forgot about it.
June 25th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Wow. The bit that hit me hardest was that post from Katie. It’s so easy to Do Hard Things because we don’t want to be slackers. I’ve done it, and I’m sure I still do it.
And, yes, we could hear you.
Looking forward to the conference! Can’t wait for it! Thank you guys SO much for writing this next book! Praying for you guys. When’s the deadline for it?
I love how the background in the video is row after row of books. So fitting.
June 25th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I was in the middle of taking a school test all afternoon and totally forgot about the Livestream. Is there a way to get a recording?
June 25th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Can’t find it… even using the link =<. Could you post it on your blog?
June 25th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
you guys should do a post on the new book for all the people who missed it.
June 25th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
for all of you who missed it, you can go back to the website, click the on demand link below the viewer and click on the thing that says “Alex and Brett Harris LIVE”
June 26th, 2009 at 12:01 am
I was glad to hear that you expect not just national recognition or magazine covers from rebelutionaries, but also, eventually, an ultimate display of dedication to Christ in martyrdom.
The most amazing worship service I have ever been privileged to be a part of took place two years ago in India. I was with a group of Bible translators, the vast majority of whom put their lives on the line every single day. It was the most amazing thing I have ever been a part of to see them grieve a friend and brother and coworker, recently martyred, all the while joyfully worshiping and recommitting themselves to God, that they might be ready to give their lives for His glory.
As for me, I want to live doing hard things, but I also want my death - whether in a nursing home or in a prison camp - to advance the gospel and bring glory to Christ for the sake of His Name and the growth of His Kingdom.
June 26th, 2009 at 4:31 am
well im so hapy to know that theres another book. Its a great thing to know that things in me are now clearer how I view things around me, I know that everything that involves in this planet needs a second thought for its not Christ. Im so very thankful that when I meet this book (Do Hard Things) change the way i view my everydays. Now i know that things thats hard for me needs a small step for God glory, through doing hard things I know that every step I make, God will leave a mark and whoever follows will be lightened by Gods grace. Now theres this new book, Im so excited how can I contribute more to this dying world, how this world needs a simple step for a Godly future. I have to say more but I have to go. God bless Alex and Brett..
June 26th, 2009 at 5:05 am
Great job guys! It sounded great, and was really inspiring! I like the title for the new book, too.
I’ll see you in D.C.!
Blessings,
Christine
June 26th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Thank you SO much Alesia for posting that link!! I totally forgot about the broadcast until this morning. Thanks to that link I was able to watch it. The movement was a little jerky, but that’s probably just my VERY old computer.
The new book sounds exactly like what I have been asking. I can’t wait for it to come out!!!
June 26th, 2009 at 8:41 am
I really liked the video and definitely support the idea of doing the live streaming again in the future
I love the new title for your book!! Awesome job guys! I’ll be praying for your conferences and the finishing of your book
June 26th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
That was very informative. Thank you for writing this new book and for giving us some idea of what to look forward to. Thanks!
God bless you,
Eleanor V. B. H.
June 26th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Thanks Alesia for putting that up there.
It was very good guys we all need talks like that to remind us of our reasons to do hard things not for our glory but for christ! Thanks and please do it agian
June 26th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Alex and Brett,
I watched the video and it was very good.
I kind of got teary-eyed when you mentioned that rebelutionaries should one day be martyrs for Jesus Christ. It’s true, we should. By daily dying to our flesh, we are practicing for the real tests of life when God may one day call us to sacrifice our very life.
I’m a reader of Voice of the Martyrs, Pursecution Blog, Gospel for Asia, and China Aid. The testimonies I read therein convict me of my lazy American Christianity. God forgive me.
I just wanted to let you know that you guys are a great encouragement to many people. So far I’ve given four DHT books as gifts to friends and family and 3 out of 4 have read them or are still reading them. If I could, I’d buy 100 DHT books and give them all away!
Keep on keepin’ on!
Because He Lives,

Hey! Good to know there’s another person who’s passionate about the persecuted church. (I mean, I know that those people are out there, and they can’t possibly be so far and in between as I sometimes think they are, but I don’t run into many people who talk about it, I guess.) It is convicting that people go to prison and get beaten, tortured, and killed, while we sit back and live in our comfortable Christian bubbles.
June 27th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
ug. i can’t get the link to work
whats the title of the new book?
June 27th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
If I had to rate that video on a scale of 1-10, I’d rate it a twelve.
That’s an amazing update, ~everything~ you guys spoke about was so true and very exciting.
I hope there’s another broadcast in the near future.
Thanks for taking the time to do that..!
And thanks Alesia for the link..hopefully I’ll be able to be here when the next one airs.
Thanks again!!
Jessica

I couldn’t watch it live, but I finally was able to watch it. (Thanks for the tip, Tori!) My browser had a couple of problems, but I switched to a different one, and it worked perfectly. I can’t wait for the new book to come out, it sounds amazing. Thanks for taking the time to do this, it means a lot to so many of us.
June 27th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Do u think u guys up load the video to the blog? I missed it
June 28th, 2009 at 8:56 am
I missed it also. I really hope you guys can load it on here.
June 28th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Awesome. I was so excited to hear about the book and it’s name it sounds great. I hope you do this again!
June 29th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Was a really great live stream. I didnt get to see it live but it was really useful to hear your thoughts about the new book, but also about being a rebelutionary. Its got me thinking alot as some of those questions Ive posed myself.
Great stuff guys. Keep pressing on! x
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:43 am
The stack of books to the left of Brett’s head was tilted 4 degrees too far to the right. It made for a horrible live video viewing.
JUST KIDDING
Actually in all truth now, I loved the video. I ended up watching it just a few minuted ago (at 4:30am) because I was unable to get the time to watch live on Thursday. Sound came through just fine for me. Reading feedback while streaming sounds both challenging (for your end) and wonderful (from ours). I’m hoping that will be an option soon explored. I’m also hoping I’ll be able to get there for the ‘live’ airing next time!!
I can’t wait for the companion book to come out. I just finished reading “Do Hard Things’ last month. It’s still sitting on my dresser actually and hasn’t made it to the bookshelf yet. (it might not!)
