BONUS TRACK: The full version of the film mentioned in Paul Zahl’s talk above, The Phantom Carriage (1921). He was not kidding about the unbelievably cathartic (and genuinely Easter-fied) ending… It’s essential viewing in conjunction with the talk, esp the final 20 minutes:

Awesome. Any chance of getting a link to download them all @ once?

Thank you for getting these up so quickly! I’m looking forward to listening to the sessions I missed. Kudos to Mockingbird for hosting an amazing conference. Much love from Texas!!!
R-J you killed it! “A Sovereign Bullet? Hope, Pain, and God” Grate stuff and good for my heart today…
Great conference! This was some incredible and deep content, I just have no end of respect for the ministry of Mockingbird! RJ’s two sessions, and Matt Stillman’s, and Paul Zahl’s session were fantastic and courageous messages. I was so blessed to be able to attend this! Thanks to everyone!
I’m posting review/reflections on some of the sessions if anyone is interested: http://thereforenow.com/tag/mockingbird-fall-2012/
