00:04:42.622 --> 00:05:04.911
Announcer: ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:54.901 --> 00:05:06.412
Please welcome our host, dr. david jeremiah.
00:05:06.412 --> 00:05:09.982
[congregation applauding]
00:05:09.982 --> 00:05:20.693
Dr. david jeremiah: the bible tells us that heaven
00:05:12.685 --> 00:05:24.797
Will be bigger, better, and more beautiful
00:05:24.797 --> 00:05:29.602
Than we could ever dream.
00:05:29.602 --> 00:05:32.004
In fact, 1 corinthians 2:9, paul gives us a glimpse into heaven
00:05:32.004 --> 00:05:36.843
When he wrote: "eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
00:05:36.843 --> 00:05:43.750
Nor have entered into the heart of man
00:05:43.750 --> 00:05:46.786
The things which god has prepared
00:05:46.786 --> 00:05:49.055
For those who love him."
00:05:49.055 --> 00:05:53.559
We are finite creatures. he is infinite god.
00:05:53.559 --> 00:05:58.498
All considerations of heaven must begin with this promise:
00:05:58.498 --> 00:06:03.436
It will be greater than our biggest dreams,
00:06:03.436 --> 00:06:07.206
Greater than our biggest desires because of who god is,
00:06:07.206 --> 00:06:12.912
Including worship.
00:06:12.912 --> 00:06:15.581
John's writings in revelation give us a glimpse into heaven,
00:06:15.581 --> 00:06:20.086
Where great worship services
00:06:20.086 --> 00:06:22.121
Will take place around the throne of god.
00:06:22.121 --> 00:06:25.124
Many scholars believe that revelation 4 and 5
00:06:25.124 --> 00:06:28.728
Are the two greatest chapters on worship in the whole bible.
00:06:28.728 --> 00:06:32.732
They transport us to heaven and allow us to witness
00:06:32.732 --> 00:06:36.836
Celestial worship as it unfolds before the very throne of god.
00:06:36.836 --> 00:06:42.642
As the apostle john gazed at the majesty and beauty
00:06:42.642 --> 00:06:46.813
Of the throne of his eternal creator,
00:06:46.813 --> 00:06:50.016
All he could comprehend was its diamond-like brilliance,
00:06:50.016 --> 00:06:54.253
Its gemstone-like beauty, and its stormy grandeur.
00:06:54.253 --> 00:06:59.625
If the door to heaven were to open for us today
00:06:59.625 --> 00:07:02.595
And we could see the throne of heaven,
00:07:02.595 --> 00:07:05.298
It would look the same now as it did then.
00:07:05.298 --> 00:07:09.135
It would thrill us with a joy that would never die.
00:07:09.135 --> 00:07:13.506
God is still seated on his throne,
00:07:13.506 --> 00:07:16.309
And his throne is a throne of glory and of grace.
00:07:16.309 --> 00:07:20.880
It's the heart and hub of all our worship,
00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:23.916
Both now and forever.
00:07:23.916 --> 00:07:26.252
In most of our worship services today,
00:07:26.252 --> 00:07:28.988
We have three integral parts:
00:07:28.988 --> 00:07:31.457
We praise god, we pray to god, and we preach about god.
00:07:31.457 --> 00:07:37.396
Yet as i read revelation, i'm stuck by the fact
00:07:37.396 --> 00:07:40.833
That worship rises to a higher level.
00:07:40.833 --> 00:07:43.736
It is a strange and interesting thing
00:07:43.736 --> 00:07:46.138
That, when we reach heaven, only one of these three elements
00:07:46.138 --> 00:07:50.142
Will remain throughout eternity.
00:07:50.142 --> 00:07:52.478
Preaching will be gone, to my disappointment.
00:07:52.478 --> 00:07:56.115
[congregation laughing]
00:07:56.115 --> 00:07:58.384
And praying will be gone because we'll already have
00:07:58.384 --> 00:08:00.686
Everything we need.
00:08:00.686 --> 00:08:03.289
According to the bible, we will spend our time
00:08:03.289 --> 00:08:06.492
Throughout the endless ages in praise and worship.
00:08:06.492 --> 00:08:09.962
Heaven will not be boring,
00:08:09.962 --> 00:08:11.764
As it will be a profoundly satisfying,
00:08:11.764 --> 00:08:14.667
High-energy, exuberant, and infinite opportunity
00:08:14.667 --> 00:08:19.372
To know our god and to be filled with rapturous joy
00:08:19.372 --> 00:08:22.508
In his presence.
00:08:22.508 --> 00:08:24.243
If choirs and orchestras can elevate us
00:08:24.243 --> 00:08:27.313
To such heights of enjoyment on this earth,
00:08:27.313 --> 00:08:30.149
What will it be like when we hear the celestial choirs
00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:33.853
Accompanied by heaven-trained orchestras
00:08:33.853 --> 00:08:36.789
Lifting praise to almighty god around the throne?
00:08:36.789 --> 00:08:41.327
You see, worship in heaven
00:08:41.327 --> 00:08:43.462
Will never be dull or half-hearted.
00:08:43.462 --> 00:08:45.765
Instead, it will be continuous, righteous, vigorous, thundering,
00:08:45.765 --> 00:08:52.305
And magnificent.
00:08:52.305 --> 00:08:54.340
It will set the atmosphere for the new heaven
00:08:54.340 --> 00:08:56.809
And the new earth, and it will make new jerusalem
00:08:56.809 --> 00:09:00.813
Pulsate with praise.

Dr. jeremiah: i'm not really sure about this,
00:24:13.291 --> 00:24:15.994
But it appears to me that my words
00:24:15.994 --> 00:24:18.196
Are selectively chosen to be given
00:24:18.196 --> 00:24:21.399

To the day when god calls us home."
00:24:51.796 --> 00:24:56.101
The whole substance and structure of scripture
00:24:56.101 --> 00:24:59.738
Demonstrates the reality of heaven.
00:24:59.738 --> 00:25:02.908
And without this remarkable conclusion,
00:25:02.908 --> 00:25:05.977
The fabric of the bible would collapse
00:25:05.977 --> 00:25:08.046
Like a tower of blocks.
00:25:08.046 --> 00:25:10.482
Why is it important to understand this?
00:25:10.482 --> 00:25:13.919
Because if you haven't learned it already tonight,
00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:17.956
You perhaps know intuitively that, without heaven,
00:25:17.956 --> 00:25:22.060
We are without hope.
00:25:22.060 --> 00:25:24.529
Sometimes as i've read about the sinking of the titanic,
00:25:24.529 --> 00:25:28.600
I've shuddered at the terror of those who stood
00:25:28.600 --> 00:25:31.636
On the deck that night,
00:25:31.636 --> 00:25:32.971
Knowing that, within a few hours,
00:25:32.971 --> 00:25:34.639
They would perish in the dark, icy sea.
00:25:34.639 --> 00:25:38.410
Their impending doom was not just
00:25:38.410 --> 00:25:40.912
A faraway, random thought.
00:25:40.912 --> 00:25:43.448
It dominated their minds and terrified their hearts.
00:25:43.448 --> 00:25:47.919
When a culture rejects god,
00:25:47.919 --> 00:25:50.522
It is on the deck of a sinking ship,
00:25:50.522 --> 00:25:54.292
Waiting for the inevitable moment
00:25:54.292 --> 00:25:56.394
Of coming doom.
00:25:56.394 --> 00:25:58.830
When we stand opposed to the teaching of scripture
00:25:58.830 --> 00:26:02.367
And insist there is nothing beyond the grave,
00:26:02.367 --> 00:26:05.604
We abandon hope.
00:26:05.604 --> 00:26:08.974
The band may play, the lights may flicker for a while,
00:26:08.974 --> 00:26:12.043
But nothing lies ahead but despair.
00:26:12.043 --> 00:26:16.781
What a change for us when we accept
00:26:16.781 --> 00:26:20.085
The biblical reality of heaven.
00:26:20.085 --> 00:26:23.121
It's a revelation of joy.
00:26:23.121 --> 00:26:25.457
It's the hope that anchors the soul.
00:26:25.457 --> 00:26:28.026
That is why jesus told his disciples,
00:26:28.026 --> 00:26:30.762
On the night of his arrest,
00:26:30.762 --> 00:26:32.797
Not to let their hearts be troubled.
00:26:32.797 --> 00:26:36.701
But as jesus spoke those words in john 14,
00:26:36.701 --> 00:26:39.938
One man doubted them: thomas.
00:26:39.938 --> 00:26:42.907
He listened as jesus went on to say,
00:26:42.907 --> 00:26:46.211
"and where i go you know, and the way you know."
00:26:46.211 --> 00:26:49.614
And thomas said, "lord, we do not know where you are going,
00:26:49.614 --> 00:26:53.018
So how can we know the way?"
00:26:53.018 --> 00:26:56.721
We're thankful for that question because it occasioned
00:26:56.721 --> 00:26:59.724
One of our lord's greatest statements.
00:26:59.724 --> 00:27:02.961
In response to thomas's question,
00:27:02.961 --> 00:27:05.664
Jesus answered,
00:27:05.664 --> 00:27:07.999
"i am the way, the truth, and the life,
00:27:07.999 --> 00:27:13.838
And no one comes to the father except through me."
00:27:13.838 --> 00:27:17.275
[congregation applauding]
00:27:17.275 --> 00:27:22.414
Those three words-- "way," "truth," and "life"--
00:27:22.414 --> 00:27:26.151
Tell us all we need to know about what we must do to go
00:27:26.151 --> 00:27:29.354
To heaven.
00:27:29.354 --> 00:27:30.922
We have a way to heaven: it's jesus.
00:27:30.922 --> 00:27:33.458
We know the truth about getting there: it's jesus.
00:27:33.458 --> 00:27:36.928
We have the sure hope of eternal life:
00:27:36.928 --> 00:27:39.564
It's jesus.
00:27:39.564 --> 00:27:42.033
The important thing is to receive god's invitation
00:27:42.033 --> 00:27:45.503
By accepting jesus christ as lord and savior.
00:27:45.503 --> 00:27:49.340
Romans 6:23 spells it out for us.
00:27:49.340 --> 00:27:51.743
It says, "for the wages of sin is death,
00:27:51.743 --> 00:27:56.281
But the gift of god is eternal life
00:27:56.281 --> 00:27:59.951
In christ jesus our lord."
00:27:59.951 --> 00:28:03.421
If you've accepted god's invitation
00:28:03.421 --> 00:28:05.390
And made your reservation for heaven,
00:28:05.390 --> 00:28:07.959
You have much to live for.
00:28:07.959 --> 00:28:09.994
Our earthly life is a preparation
00:28:09.994 --> 00:28:11.996
For our heavenly life.
00:28:11.996 --> 00:28:13.331
In fact, our eternal life has already begun.
00:28:13.331 --> 00:28:17.202
It began when we came to know god
00:28:17.202 --> 00:28:19.104
Through faith in jesus christ.
00:28:19.104 --> 00:28:21.940
We must live today like we will live in eternity.
00:28:21.940 --> 00:28:25.610
Earth is a dress rehearsal for heaven.
00:28:25.610 --> 00:28:29.314
Heaven may seem like it's far away,
00:28:29.314 --> 00:28:31.249
But it isn't a distant reality.
00:28:31.249 --> 00:28:34.119
For the child of god, heaven is only a heartbeat away,
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.656
A breath away, perhaps only a day or an hour away,
00:28:38.656 --> 00:28:43.728
And soon we'll be there.
00:28:43.728 --> 00:28:47.065
Wherever we go in the world,
00:28:47.065 --> 00:28:48.466
Whatever blessings or burdens befall our lives,
00:28:48.466 --> 00:28:52.137
Heaven is our sure and certain hope,
00:28:52.137 --> 00:28:55.607
A place prepared for us,
00:28:55.607 --> 00:28:58.309
A city whose builder and maker is god,
00:28:58.309 --> 00:29:01.946
And soon we'll be gathered at the crystal sea.
00:29:01.946 --> 00:29:05.083
Soon we'll be singing around the throne
00:29:05.083 --> 00:29:07.318
And involved in our savior's work.
00:29:07.318 --> 00:29:10.288
Our lord jesus christ has opened the gates and prepared the way,
00:29:10.288 --> 00:29:15.393
And he beckons us to follow him--
00:29:15.393 --> 00:29:18.196
Not tomorrow or in the distant future.
00:29:18.196 --> 00:29:20.632
Today.
00:29:20.632 --> 00:29:22.000
We never know when we awaken in the morning
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.335
Whether we may be in heaven by nightfall,
00:29:24.335 --> 00:29:27.238
For life on earth is uncertain.
00:29:27.238 --> 00:29:29.574
But that shouldn't cause us to fear.
00:29:29.574 --> 00:29:31.943
According to the bible, "to be absent from the body
00:29:31.943 --> 00:29:35.446
Is to be present with the lord."
00:29:35.446 --> 00:29:37.916
Jesus told the dying thief on the cross,
00:29:37.916 --> 00:29:40.985
"assuredly, i say to you, today you will be with me
00:29:40.985 --> 00:29:44.923
In paradise."
00:29:44.923 --> 00:29:47.258
Of course, i also believe the lord may come at any moment
00:29:47.258 --> 00:29:52.163
And rapture us all to heaven together
00:29:52.163 --> 00:29:55.200
If we've put our trust in christ.
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.569
In either case, through death or rapture,
00:29:57.569 --> 00:30:01.539
We're closer now to heaven than we've ever been before.
00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:04.876
One day, we will have more than just a glimpse of heaven.
00:30:04.876 --> 00:30:09.080
We will gaze at god's beauty and wonder for all eternity.
00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:14.252
Time will be no more, and we will never cease to be amazed
00:30:14.252 --> 00:30:18.923
At the splendor of the new jerusalem.
00:30:18.923 --> 00:30:23.294
Let us pray.
00:30:23.294 --> 00:30:25.964
Father, with all of our hearts tonight,
00:30:25.964 --> 00:30:30.301
We give you thanks for heaven,
00:30:30.301 --> 00:30:33.838
For the hope that it brings to our hearts,
00:30:33.838 --> 00:30:37.408
For the encouragement that it brings to us,
00:30:37.408 --> 00:30:39.410
Especially those of us who have friends
00:30:39.410 --> 00:30:42.513
And loved ones already deposited there.
00:30:42.513 --> 00:30:47.185
Most of all, we thank you that heaven is
00:30:47.185 --> 00:30:49.187
A place where we will be with jesus.
00:30:49.187 --> 00:30:53.124
How amazing it is to us to know that,
00:30:53.124 --> 00:30:56.494
While we want to be with him, he wants us to be with him.
00:30:56.494 --> 00:31:03.001
How could that be? but it's true.
00:31:03.001 --> 00:31:07.138
And over and over again in the scripture,
00:31:07.138 --> 00:31:09.173
We run into that truth: god wants us to be with him.
00:31:09.173 --> 00:31:13.244
God wants you to be with him.
00:31:13.244 --> 00:31:17.048
And it's not too late to make your reservation.
00:31:17.048 --> 00:31:21.252
According to the bible, when we trust christ
00:31:21.252 --> 00:31:24.789
With our eternal life, he provides it for us.
00:31:24.789 --> 00:31:29.227
He gives us heaven as a free gift
00:31:29.227 --> 00:31:31.262
When we put our trust in him.
00:31:31.262 --> 00:31:34.098
So however you are listening or watching or being involved
00:31:34.098 --> 00:31:39.504
In this program that we have presented this evening,
00:31:39.504 --> 00:31:43.107
My greatest hope is this:
00:31:43.107 --> 00:31:45.710
That i will see you someday in heaven
00:31:45.710 --> 00:31:48.413
Because you have put your trust in jesus christ.
00:31:48.413 --> 00:31:51.582
If you have not done so, this is the time to do it, amen.
00:31:51.582 --> 00:31:58.523
[congregation applauding]
00:31:58.523 --> 00:32:03.761
I have a pretty good idea
00:32:03.761 --> 00:32:05.096
That most of you who came here tonight
00:32:05.096 --> 00:32:06.631
Are on your way to heaven.
00:32:06.631 --> 00:32:08.866
Once again, i hope if you're not,
00:32:08.866 --> 00:32:10.802
You'll figure that out and get it straightened out.
00:32:10.802 --> 00:32:13.705
Remember, it's real easy: jesus is the way.
00:32:13.705 --> 00:32:17.742
If you trust in him, you can spend eternity with him,
00:32:17.742 --> 00:32:21.346
And i hope you will do that.
00:32:21.346 --> 00:32:23.081
We have one more gift for you before you leave.

And i hope you'll let them know how much you appreciate them.

Paul joiner: the original vision for this concert was to create
00:39:01.879 --> 00:39:04.882
An event that centered around dr. jeremiah's teaching
00:39:04.882 --> 00:39:06.984
On heaven.
00:39:06.984 --> 00:39:08.319
And when you study heaven, you can't help but see

00:40:24.028 --> 00:40:25.963

That we can be creative with to reach people

Paul: a lot of the creative process for this
00:40:31.268 --> 00:40:33.270
Is just putting your preconceived ideas
00:40:33.270 --> 00:40:36.607
About what the show should be and finding out what's available
00:40:36.607 --> 00:40:41.145
And asking god to direct you.
00:40:41.145 --> 00:40:43.214
David: the first steps in all of these kind of projects
00:40:43.214 --> 00:40:45.649
Are faith because you're like,
00:40:45.649 --> 00:40:47.184
"man, we believe god wants us to do this,
00:40:47.184 --> 00:40:49.854
But this is crazy.
00:40:49.854 --> 00:40:51.255
It's expensive. it's in the heart of l.a.
00:40:51.255 --> 00:40:53.691
How are we gonna get people to come to this?
00:40:53.691 --> 00:40:55.659
What kind of artists are we gonna be able to attract
00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:57.761
To do this?"
00:40:57.761 --> 00:40:59.096
You step out in faith and say,
00:40:59.096 --> 00:41:00.431
"yeah, okay, we're gonna commit."
00:41:00.431 --> 00:41:02.399
And then you let god go to work.
00:41:02.399 --> 00:41:04.902
Paul: when tobin davis and i sat down and talked about music,
00:41:04.902 --> 00:41:07.705
We wanted to offer all types of genres.
00:41:07.705 --> 00:41:10.007
The people that we chose already had songs on heaven,
00:41:10.007 --> 00:41:13.477
So we didn't have to create anything brand new.
00:41:13.477 --> 00:41:15.679
We just asked the people who had recorded amazing songs
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.549

And we're here to be a part

Of the "glimpse of heaven" concert.
00:41:33.564 --> 00:41:34.899
Paul: one thing that there's not short supply of
00:41:34.899 --> 00:41:37.167
Is songs about heaven.
00:41:37.167 --> 00:41:38.502
So my thought was, like, where do we go to do this justice--
00:41:38.502 --> 00:41:41.805
A place that's breathtaking and beautiful
00:41:41.805 --> 00:41:43.908

A lot of times when you walk into a creative project,
00:41:48.546 --> 00:41:50.314
You feel like, "this is my idea; this is where i wanna go."
00:41:50.314 --> 00:41:52.616
I find if you're really listening to god,
00:41:52.616 --> 00:41:54.385
He'll say, "yes, that's the right direction,
00:41:54.385 --> 00:41:56.120
But just listen for a while, just be open for a while,
00:41:56.120 --> 00:41:58.522
Because i might bring some other things

That this isn't our home,

And i think, as the world gets a little crazier,
00:42:47.605 --> 00:42:50.107
One thing we can count on is the word of god,
00:42:50.107 --> 00:42:51.909
And he told us that there's a place for us.
00:42:51.909 --> 00:42:54.612
Sheila walsh: i can't think of a time in my life
00:42:54.612 --> 00:42:56.680
When it's been more important to talk about heaven.
00:42:56.680 --> 00:42:59.383
I was only five years old when my father died by suicide.
00:42:59.383 --> 00:43:03.454
He had a major brain injury that impacted his personality.
00:43:03.454 --> 00:43:07.024
Before that, he was this wonderful, loving, godly father.
00:43:07.024 --> 00:43:10.661
Beautiful singing voice.
00:43:10.661 --> 00:43:12.429
But then he had this unfortunate accident
00:43:12.429 --> 00:43:16.200
That changed his life.
00:43:16.200 --> 00:43:17.901
But for me, knowing that my dad is safely home with jesus
00:43:17.901 --> 00:43:22.072
And knowing that, one of these days,
00:43:22.072 --> 00:43:23.741
That i'll be reunited with my father,
00:43:23.741 --> 00:43:25.843
It just makes this evening very special for me.
00:43:25.843 --> 00:43:29.046
No matter what you're going through,
00:43:29.046 --> 00:43:30.447
This is gonna change everything.
00:43:30.447 --> 00:43:32.583
It's always one of the greatest privileges of my life
00:43:32.583 --> 00:43:35.152
To work with dr. david jeremiah.
00:43:35.152 --> 00:43:38.088
Sheila: only a handful of songs are so iconic
00:43:38.088 --> 00:43:41.125
That everyone knows them.
00:43:41.125 --> 00:43:42.793
Sheila: i'm particularly excited about this project,
00:43:42.793 --> 00:43:44.595
"a glimpse of heaven,"
00:43:44.595 --> 00:43:45.929
Because, when you think about it,
00:43:45.929 --> 00:43:47.698
This is the whole point.
00:43:47.698 --> 00:43:49.333
This is why jesus came.
00:43:49.333 --> 00:43:50.768
This is why we're living for christ.
00:43:50.768 --> 00:43:53.037
This is everything, and no matter what's happening

In our life right now,
00:43:55.105 --> 00:43:57.141
This hope of heaven changes everything.

00:43:59.243 --> 00:44:00.644

As far as a concert

'cause most of the things that we've done is film-focused
00:45:52.422 --> 00:45:55.058

Jeff: many people know the song "i can only imagine."
00:52:08.532 --> 00:52:10.000
That song is personal to me.
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:12.235
I've lost my father, i've lost cousins,
00:52:12.235 --> 00:52:15.038
I've lost siblings.
00:52:15.038 --> 00:52:16.706
To think of the lyrics that says
00:52:16.706 --> 00:52:18.508
That we're surrounded by his glory
00:52:18.508 --> 00:52:20.911
And the opportunity to be able to just worship the lord
00:52:20.911 --> 00:52:24.814
At his feet.

Jeff: everybody has a different story.

Everybody's going through a different season
00:52:33.323 --> 00:52:34.658
In life.
00:52:34.658 --> 00:52:35.992
But all of us have lost someone.
00:52:35.992 --> 00:52:37.394
And i think what's beautiful about it
00:52:37.394 --> 00:52:39.062
Is that you can make it personal.
00:52:39.062 --> 00:52:41.431
People in our society today really just wanna find hope,
00:52:41.431 --> 00:52:45.235
They want authenticity, they want truth.
00:52:45.235 --> 00:52:48.038
I think it's just super important
00:52:48.038 --> 00:52:49.439
That people be encouraged and given a message of hope
00:52:49.439 --> 00:52:52.809

Jeff larsen: the most complex part of doing an event like this
00:53:05.722 --> 00:53:08.291
Is the coordination of all the different departments
00:53:08.291 --> 00:53:09.993
And people--from front of house to back of house to production,
00:53:09.993 --> 00:53:12.729
Getting everybody in sync.
00:53:12.729 --> 00:53:14.097
Today is just getting everything ready.
00:53:14.097 --> 00:53:15.532
This is setting the table, as i say, for the talent,
00:53:15.532 --> 00:53:17.934
Making sure all of the different leads--
00:53:17.934 --> 00:53:20.203
Sound to lights to video to stage props, set deck--
00:53:20.203 --> 00:53:24.174
Have all of their questions answered.
00:53:24.174 --> 00:53:26.343
None of this is worth anything that we're doing
00:53:26.343 --> 00:53:28.345
If we're not pointing people to jesus and telling the gospel.
00:53:28.345 --> 00:53:30.547
Levi dulay: my role as the back-of-house creative producer
00:53:30.547 --> 00:53:33.383
Is to, really, just oversee the entire artist experience.
00:53:33.383 --> 00:53:36.987
In addition to our orchestra, in addition to our choir,
00:53:36.987 --> 00:53:40.123
We have more than a dozen individual artists.
00:53:40.123 --> 00:53:42.559
Anything that happens backstage,
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:43.893
In the dressing rooms, in rehearsals,
00:53:43.893 --> 00:53:46.096
All the way to the point when they get on stage--
00:53:46.096 --> 00:53:48.665
We're trying to keep them on schedule,
00:53:48.665 --> 00:53:50.033
Keep them on track so that, the night of the event,
00:53:50.033 --> 00:53:52.535
Each artist is where they need to be
00:53:52.535 --> 00:53:54.638
Right when they need to be there.
00:53:54.638 --> 00:53:55.972
The people who are in the seats here at the concert
00:53:55.972 --> 00:53:58.208
Who experience it live,
00:53:58.208 --> 00:53:59.542
As well as the people who will experience this concert
00:53:59.542 --> 00:54:02.445
Digitally or over television in the years to come,
00:54:02.445 --> 00:54:05.849
All over the world--
00:54:05.849 --> 00:54:07.183
They get to experience a glimpse of heaven.
00:54:07.183 --> 00:54:08.518
Ric seaburg: in a live situation,
00:54:08.518 --> 00:54:09.853
You can leave microphones on all the time.
00:54:09.853 --> 00:54:11.755
So if, let's say, tobin's gonna turn around and talk,
00:54:11.755 --> 00:54:13.823
You can just leave that mic on,
00:54:13.823 --> 00:54:15.158
And it's ready to go.
00:54:15.158 --> 00:54:17.160
All the microphones that they have are just--
00:54:17.160 --> 00:54:19.496
It's a great selection.
00:54:19.496 --> 00:54:21.398
It's what they call a ribbon microphone.
00:54:21.398 --> 00:54:23.133
They're using those on all the brass,
00:54:23.133 --> 00:54:24.601
The trumpets, trombones.
00:54:24.601 --> 00:54:26.236
I think, even on the french horns,
00:54:26.236 --> 00:54:27.570
They're using the same mic.
00:54:27.570 --> 00:54:28.905
And what they're using on all the percussion,
00:54:28.905 --> 00:54:30.273
They're called condensers.
00:54:30.273 --> 00:54:31.808
They're electronically charged and extremely sensitive.
00:54:31.808 --> 00:54:35.612
♪♪♪
00:54:35.612 --> 00:54:50.894
Ric: on the timpani, they have condensers.
00:54:40.884 --> 00:54:52.896
The violins are all condensers.
00:54:52.896 --> 00:54:54.597
There's not really a true stereo mix.
00:54:54.597 --> 00:54:57.233
It would be more like a rough mix,
00:54:57.233 --> 00:54:59.102
Just so there's something on video as a reference,
00:54:59.102 --> 00:55:01.938
But the final mix will be coming later,
00:55:01.938 --> 00:55:03.840
Where i've got total control of every microphone
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.143
To start from the beginning and do it all over.
00:55:07.143 --> 00:55:09.379
Vicki roberts: many things go into a concert of this size--
00:55:09.379 --> 00:55:12.349
The music, artists, for us a choir,
00:55:12.349 --> 00:55:15.251
The orchestra, and then the facility.
00:55:15.251 --> 00:55:18.154
Early on, i was working with paul joiner,
00:55:18.154 --> 00:55:21.057
Our executive producer, and we were moving forward
00:55:21.057 --> 00:55:24.394
With the venue
00:55:24.394 --> 00:55:26.129
And all the things we needed here.
00:55:26.129 --> 00:55:27.764
Turning point is really a great team to work together,
00:55:27.764 --> 00:55:30.934
And everyone is skilled in their specific areas
00:55:30.934 --> 00:55:33.169
Of what they do best.
00:55:33.169 --> 00:55:34.671
And so once we could hand off all those pieces,
00:55:34.671 --> 00:55:37.440
Everyone just rose to the challenge
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.008
And is working together really well.
00:55:39.008 --> 00:55:40.710
Gregory: i think the variety that's offered
00:55:40.710 --> 00:55:42.245
Takes you on a journey
00:55:42.245 --> 00:55:43.580
Where there's a lot of different pivotal points
00:55:43.580 --> 00:55:45.281
That you can connect to.
00:55:45.281 --> 00:55:46.850
The things of politics,
00:55:46.850 --> 00:55:48.184
The things of racial backgrounds--
00:55:48.184 --> 00:55:50.553
All of those things really fade away
00:55:50.553 --> 00:55:52.522
When we're talking about heaven,
00:55:52.522 --> 00:55:53.957
When we're talking about god's true love.
00:55:53.957 --> 00:55:55.925
Heaven is welcome to all that believe.
00:55:55.925 --> 00:55:59.028
Xandy: but getting to sing about heaven with all the people
00:55:59.028 --> 00:56:01.831
I've grown up listening to my whole life is so exciting.
00:56:01.831 --> 00:56:05.235
And i think having this concert
00:56:05.235 --> 00:56:07.003
Can help people see how beautiful heaven is.
00:56:07.003 --> 00:56:09.973
And i think it shows the character of god
00:56:09.973 --> 00:56:12.409
Really well, especially with people
00:56:12.409 --> 00:56:14.244
Who don't know about jesus and they wanna know more.

Paul: one thing that we've realized is
00:56:29.826 --> 00:56:31.494
That programs like this reach a whole world of people
00:56:31.494 --> 00:56:34.464
That doesn't regularly watch "turning point."
00:56:34.464 --> 00:56:36.800
We've done broadway shows. we've done film.
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.269
We believe this concert is another gateway.
00:56:39.269 --> 00:56:41.237
This will bring a lot of people to "turning point"
00:56:41.237 --> 00:56:43.006
And be something that people will not only enjoy now
00:56:43.006 --> 00:56:45.208
But for many, many years to come.
00:56:45.208 --> 00:56:46.743
David: success is about reaching people for christ.
00:56:46.743 --> 00:56:49.479
So we wanna produce content that's great
00:56:49.479 --> 00:56:52.115
Across all genres and platforms,
00:56:52.115 --> 00:56:54.517
And whether it's secular or christian,
00:56:54.517 --> 00:56:56.352
We want it to be of the highest caliber
00:56:56.352 --> 00:56:58.455
'cause we're gonna use this in thousands of ways.
00:56:58.455 --> 00:57:01.090
We're gonna reach millions,
00:57:01.090 --> 00:57:02.759
If not tens of millions of people,
00:57:02.759 --> 00:57:04.394
Through our outreach with this series
00:57:04.394 --> 00:57:06.262
And what we're doing.
00:57:06.262 --> 00:57:07.597
For me, that all starts with faith,
00:57:07.597 --> 00:57:09.466
And we gotta step out
00:57:09.466 --> 00:57:10.800
Because, if you look at it, no one would ever do it,
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:12.469
'cause it's big, it's a lot of work.
00:57:12.469 --> 00:57:14.103
There's no challenges that you can't overcome,
00:57:14.103 --> 00:57:16.272
But you have to stay faithful to what god's called you to do.
