I hope you can get a chance to read this, but not long after Passion Tokyo I had a pretty crazy dream, and I’m pretty sure G-d gave me this dream to tell me something. What that is I’m still trying to figure out, but a few days after I wrote out the dream in my blog. I thought you might be interested.

LOVE the article. I especially love the line, “…we are hopeful because we are a part of an expanding Kingdom, not a shrinking industry.”
So incredibly true, and a sermon in itself.
Keep on doing what you’re doing, and I hope that you all are getting some good R&R!!
God Bless!

welcome back! i guess you’ve earned a little break.
can’t wait for the podcast. take care.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:26 PM
great article! i’ve always wondered what the story behind the name “sixstepsrecords” was.

Dear Mr. Giglio,
What’s a podcast?

The Christianity Today was very cool. I had always wondered where the sixstepsrecords name came from, and now i know. Plus, like the article mentions, i think its such a blessing that you guys truly are a family, and not just a bunch of label execs and artists. Where would the brotherly love be in that?
I know its pretty late to say so, but the Passion World Tour has been such a blessing to me, and i’ve never even attended a passion event. God really blessed you guys in being able to accomplish this great feat, and introduce some people to Jesus, and disciple others, that might not have otherwise been able to have that unique experience.
God bless you guys, and the rest of us around the world continually striving to make God famous.

Mr. Louie Giglio,
I just finished listening to your talks on Hope. My brother just died 3 weeks ago, he was 25. I wrote something just yesterday I would like to share with you, but first wanted to tell you I was never mad at God, never blamed Him. I did’t understand why he took Jason, and at one point, without anger, remember thinking, it is almost cruel for God to design us and allow us to feel so much pain. I have been praying asking for God’s comfort and strength, and asking Him to use this situation for the good, Jason was raised in church but during his high school years he and his friends started messing around with girls, drinking, and smoking. As he gratuated and bought his own home he was really into partying. Within the last year and a half or so he had met a girl who he proposed to just this last spring. Also this spring, (we learned after Jason’s death,) that he had accpeted Jesus back into his life. He had given up his party life and quite smoking, I notice things in Jason’s life that was changing for the good.
Jason’s fiance Amy, couldn’t understand why she was still alive and Jason was not, she wanted to die too. There is nothing left of the car they were driving, the only part of the car you could recognize is the area where Amy herself was sitting. She miraculously only has broken ankles.
I felt that God was wanting me to speak at the funeral, anyone who knows me knows that speaking infront of adults scares me. I am a childrens pastor and do great with kids. I prayed for two days about what to say at the funeral, and as I started writing I told about Jason’s life how much me and my children where going to miss him and the fun memories we have of him. I then started talking about how even though we can’t know for sure if Jason is in heaven that as his sister I would like to offer them the opportunity to know where they will spend eternity, I shared the greatness of forgivness in a simple way. (Later after the funeral we found out more and I believe now that Jason is in heaven with our Savior)
Since then as you will see in the paper I wrote, I have had the opportunity to share even more, having conversations with Jasons friends who never really had the opportunity to hear about how wonderful God truly is, with his fiance who now realizes on her own, that as Jason died that night his heart was probably right with God, but hers was not. Several of my friends, even old friends from high school have called and again I’ve had the opportunity to share with them my faith. Many have commented on my strength, which I give God all the credit for, even during the funeral I was not at all scared to speak infront of over 300 people.
Even though I still miss Jason so much, I am finding excitment in how much good is coming from it, how so many people are searching for God’s truths.
It was very encouraging hearing what you had to say and how parts of what you said is what God has already started to reveal to me.
Here is my paperI am planning to share with family and friends this Thanksgiving:
Most of you know my brother died just a few weeks ago. I have never experienced anything so painful in my life. Jason was only 25. I remember the night it happened, I remember my mom coming in to our room to wake me up, I remember every detail of how she looked, what she said, how she couldn’t catch her breath. I remember picking up my sister from a friends house and how she climbed in the car sobbing, the long drive to Iowa City. The hoping and anticipation that maybe they are wrong, Jason can’t really be dead. The uncontrollable tears, how I couldn’t even breath, my strength was gone and it was a struggle to even stand, and pain inside that was crushing me. As we arrived at the hospital no one could tell us where Jason was or anything about him. It seemed to be an eternity as we waited for hours to hear from someone who knew something. Hours of not knowing, hours of desperately hoping he is really ok.
Jason’s fiancé, Amy, was already at the hospital and they were trying to stabilize her and determine where all she was injured.
As my mom and Kara sat over with Amy’s mom, a man walked in wearing a state patrol uniform and carrying a brief case, as I saw him my heart stopped, I knew it couldn’t be good. I sat just staring, wondering what he was saying, but unable to get out of my chair and walk over, afraid of what I was going to hear. Tears started down mom and kara’s faces again as they listened to the mans words. Finally I did stand and start over, my mom was wanting me to join them, and then I heard the words, “Jason is really dead.” As the officer described how he imagined the accident occurring, Jason’s car had hit the cement wall on the interstate, his car shot up on top of the wall and skidded down the wall until it hit a small pillar which ripped the back end of the car off and shot it across the interstate, hitting that smaller pillar also spun the car and as it continued to skid along the wall it smashed into the pillar of the bridge, head on. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How could this happen? Why?
Later that night the medical examiner took us in a separate room and explained to us how he thought Jason had died, a vertebra in his neck was broken and dislodged, instant death.
They made an exception and allowed us to see Jason’s body. He had some cuts and bruising, but over all he looked like he was sleeping. I knew was dead, but it was as if I couldn’t accept that, I was waiting for him to sit up, yell AGGG, and start laughing.
The next morning was the worst day of my life, waking up and realizing it was not just a dream. The tears wouldn’t stop, I couldn’t get myself to eat, or take care of the kids, (thank God for all the family that was there), I kept seeing Jason in my mind, seeing him laughing, hearing his voice. Nothing anybody did could take away the pain I had inside, I felt as though there was something missing, like there was an empty spot inside of me.
I remember several times where I just sat and cried, crying out to God, for help, just simply saying, God help me. Asking for strength and comfort. Needing to feel God in a way that I never had before. Wanting him to come sit on my bed with me, tell me everything is ok, and just hold me and let me cry on his shoulder, now although I never saw an actual body in front of me or felt his physical arms around me, I know he was there with me, I started feeling a peace in side, that is so hard to explain, but some of the pain left.
As hard as that first week was, I look at things now and see all the good that already is coming from loosing my brother.
How Jason’s friends and even some of my family was either running from God, or had very little knowledge of how great God really is, and the importance of Him in our lives.
Since Jason’s death I believe God has revealed himself and sent comfort, to me and others in ways that we have not experienced before.
At the hospital, Be still and know I am God, kept running through my mind. I knew it was in the Bible (Psalms 46:10) and as I studied up on it, it brought even more comfort. The Hebrew word used here can also be translated as Enough, quit holding onto things that may be distracting or weighing you down. Through out God’s Word and though our individual lives, we have seen evidence of God’s presence and power at work for his people, that we can be at peace in the fact that he has everything under control.
Wow, basically he was telling me, ‘Tanya, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.’ And as I start to put everything together, I feel more of a peace about everything, more of a comfort that yes, God was in control, he knew what he was doing, his timing although was hard for us to accept, was perfect. That I can believe that Jason is probably in heaven, because even though he didn’t live the perfect life for Christ, had recently accepted Jesus back into his heart, and looking back I can see the positive changes in Jason’s life since he had done so. That maybe, just maybe Jason’s heart was right with God during this time, but if God had protected him in this accident it would have been a miracle, but maybe a few years down the road Jason would have fallen away from God and never made it into Heaven.
In the last few week I have had the opportunity to show my faith, share my believes, and talk with others as they ask questions about God. They have also asked how I can trust God so completely, not be angry with Him, and how I knew He was with me through all this, as they are trying to figure out that they too need God in their lives, and that they need a relationship with Him deeper than they have now.
I have family members who were raised in church, but made the decision that they were going to have fun and live their lives the way they want to for now, who are now talking about God and going to church again.
Old friends from high school who are calling and after not talking for years are talking openly about God and what I believe.
Being able to talk with Jason’s friends and explaining to them what true forgiveness is and how they can accept Jesus and live a life for him.
Other friends of mine have called just to ask, how am I making it through when they are having such a hard time, again opening the door to share with them, my hurts and pain and emptiness, but still knowing that God has been with me through it all.
And one last thing, to hear Amy searching for God’s truths, and for her to realize that as Jason died that night his heart was probably right with God, but hers was not and that she wants to have that.
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for how God is using the loss of my brother, and turning it into something so awesome, opening so many doors, where so many are coming to know Jesus like never before.

Wow. I still remember when Steve Fee came to Grand Canyon University my freshman year. That was such a turning point in my life. And then when Chris and David and you came to Grace community church in Tempe and you typed words to us on the screen, and people were grabbing hands and jumping up and down. I remember just having this out of body experience that ultimately led to years of sleepless nights as God was awakening a passion in me that I could not, and still do not understand. Sometimes it’s even easier to push that passion aside because it hurts too bad to not let it out and let it burn as hot and as big as you want it to. As I read that article 9.5 years of spiritual memories flood back in, and I am simply amazed at how often God has brought passion and sixsteps alongside of what He is doing in my life. I am so thankful for who you guys are, so thankful. You are a reminder that the furthering of the Kingdom is ultimately not as much about ritual or institution as it is about biography of the people who are willing to sacrifice everything to further the name of Jesus, which is so countercultural. It is a sad time in music today, and for those of us who want so badly to use or voice and our song to reach people, it can often seem hopeless. I am inspired to continue to write for my own small community here in AZ, and to focus on being honest as an artist and a worship leader and letting my life be my loudest song of worship. Thanks again Louie, you have and continue to be one of the most influential human beings in my life.

Louie, I can’t tell you what a great ministry your Conference DVD’s have been. We have 4 copies of 2 of them, and they have been passed around at work for months. People take them home and show them to their kids and their neighbors. The “Hope for the Hurting” has been passed around to Sunday school’s, bible studies, and kids showing it to their friends. I heard last night that a girl was saved after she saw it! Praise God for you and your ministry! We bought a copy of each for the public library, so that others can be reached that we are not even aware of. We use our copy in the jail ministry, and many lives are touched each time that we show them. May God continue to bless and use you!!

i was on a bus with my school’s marching band on the way to the Vanier Cup (canadian college football finals!, but we lost. aww… haha) and i was listening to the latest podcast. i definitely did a little celebrating on that bus. i sat near the back and most people had fallen asleep so i was limited to the fist pump and a great big smile on my face.
i also had a great view of everyone on the bus, and i could count approximately 1/3 of the people [that i know of] on the bus were followers of Christ. there we were, amongst one of our campus groups and being the fruitcakes. 2 years ago, maybe 5% of the band were christians. we’re starting to infiltrate the band. Jesus is here on this campus!
praise God for the finance! students continually to give what God has given them, for both the world tour and onemillioncan!
keeping the passion team, the worship bands, and the many volunteers’ health in my prayers. thank you all for being used by God.
im excited for passion2010. looking forward to being back in the philips arena and the gwcc. feb16th has been marked down, and im bringing many others with me!
happy thanksgiving to all the americans! we (canadians) already celebrated thanksgiving a month ago. haha…

November 25th, 2008 at 8:52 AM
Hi Louie ( do you get this ? Not being a teen , ‘blog’ is foreign to me?)
Much as I would love to just write ‘ come to the West coast of Scotland!!!!’
I really write to send you some encouragement, your Passion for God and how great He is , is inspiring. I live in a small town where there are 1200 kids age 12-18, about 10 -15 go to church and the rest have no knowledge of God.I am a Family Doc and for the 10 yrs been here have felt a passion that these kids would see God. There is a huge drug problem, high teen pregnancy, social deprivation and in a town of 12000+ less than 200 go to any sort of church and less really long to see God lifted high.
All of a sudden God has flung the doors open for us in the school after years of rejection and I know He is going to work although I can hardly take in all He is putting in my heart and the hearts of a few others. Watching and listening to some of your talks/ DVD’s has really helped me focus my thoughts as we start going into the school in December, am feeling very inadequate and untrained but I know my Lord will provide, I have been allowed in as ‘Chaplain’/ also to go into classes, along with 4 Ministers/pastors so that’s an incredible thought to be among these guys with their degrees and knowledge but I guess it’s God not me I want to show!! Kids here have no clue about our Awesome God, I would love them to see Passion and hear you, we have about 10 committed teens who are day by day growing in their desire to see God Glorified and I have a Bible study with them, God has transformed them before my eyes and I can’t wait to see Him use them. I hope you come back to the UK, may God use you more and more to Glorify His name. And remember if you every want to see the beautiful west coeast of Scotlan we are very welcoming!!
November 25th, 2008 at 2:56 PM
gosh!!! its back!! =D im already missing the passion family =D haha.. let’s continue to spread the gospel!! =D wherever we are!! yeahooo~

November 25th, 2008 at 6:55 PM
Hola Hermano Jorge Silva,
Thank you so much for posting that video link. It was such a beautiful picture of the body of Christ – singing that song in a language other than my own and knowing we are praising the same God… there is no other like HIM!
I think we met while we were at Passion Mexico. I was one of the volunteers on the registration team, and I remember your red 3:16 shirt and the big group of people that came from your church. I just wanted to say it was a blessing meeting you, and thank you for the words of encouragement you gave to us just in walking by! Your fervor for Christ is very evident, and it’s exciting to see the wave growing…
Please know that Mexico City remains in the hearts and prayers of many around the world!

Louie,
I’ve been hesitating to send this only because I’m not a teenager or college student anymore. I’m 40 something, a wife and mother. But when my marriage started to fall apart in April, God used the 268 website, the blog, and the music of Passion to remind me how big and amazing His love is. (Even those words are inadequate.) I found the Thirsty Journal and God used that to bring my passion back to pursuing Him and allowing Him to satisfy my thirst. And where I was powerless to save my marriage, God stepped in. I’ve enjoyed reading how God is moving in the hearts of those all around the world and I look forward to reading about what God is doing next in the Passion organization.
December 7th, 2008 at 4:08 AM
“For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.” (Psalm 36:9).
One of my favorite scriptures. Thank you for everything that you and your entire organization means to me.
Much love from S.A
December 7th, 2008 at 10:08 PM
To Tanya,
Your candid sharing of the loss of your brother was very courageous. Though I am not a teen, but the mother of two 20-something daughters, I remember only too well that feeling of shock and disbelief a little more than two years ago when my youngest, only 21 yrs old, was killed in a freak industrial accident. Unlike you, however, I was mad at God, though it took several months for me to actually speak those words out loud.
However, I can say without hesitating, that in the last several months, God’s healing has been all-encompassing and complete. Yes, of course I still miss her and always will; but “I know my redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand on the earth”, and my beautiful daughter will stand with us on that day as well.
I watched the Fruitcake and ice Cream DVD last night, and with tears running down my face, could only imagine the intense joy and heart ache Ashley’s mother must be dealing with right now.
No matter what happens over the next months and years, hold on to God and allow him to keep hold of you.

For the first time in my life, I get to interact with people who understand how I feel. I also lost someone who was so special in my life. It was a sudden death and I still don’t understand what hapenned to my Bubu! I’m told he started vomiting green stuff on a Sunday evening. He was admitted in hospital on Monday and he passed away on Friday,15 August. The doctors said he had complication and that was it….
I was at work on this day and I received a call from his aunt. I was so shocked i just replied” It’s okay, thanks for letting me know”. It only hit me after an hour. I guess i’m good at hiding my feelings from people. From the day fear knocked on my door and I opened that door. I could’nt sleep at night because I was used to talking to Phillip before I wend to bed. We used to talk on the phone for hours and hours about anything.
Preparations for his funeral started and his funeral was supposed to be on my mom’s birthday ( 23 August). The friday before the funeral I went to buy a dress for the wedding and flowers. I didn’t sleep at all on the friday nite day before the funeral. I just couldn’t believe that he’s gone and that he was going to be buried in a grave that would be filled with soil.
A friend of mine agreed to accompany me to his funeral. Everything hapenned so fast on the day of the funeral. I discovered things that he was hiding from me. Things that he was ashamed to discuss with me. I came face to face with his mother who had an alcohol problem and his 2 kids that he never told me about. I wished he could wake up to explain. I felt like shaking his casket so that he could tell me why he did’nt tell me all these things.
I was so dissapointed with God coz I thought Phillip was going to be my soulmate but I guess that was not God’s plan for my life. There has never been a time in my life where I have been so lonely. I’m so good at hiding my feelings that none of my friends noticed that I was hurting and that I was angry at Phillip, his family and God. WHY DID GOD ALLOW ALL THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME? I just couldn’t understand why?
Thank GOD for men like you Louie who are passionate about Him. Men who can share with the world how great is our God. Last nite I watched the Hope dvd and from that moment on I understood that God loves me.
All I can say is thank you!
This is my first reply to your blog! I’m looking forward to many more.

Though I’ve had the podcast downloaded since it came out, I finally got to listen to it today and I have to say that as my ears were filled with the sounds of brothers and sisters in Uganda yelling and shouting “Jesus!” over and over again, tears started running down my face sitting outside my college cafeteria(i had the podcast on headphones). I am SO psyched for all that is happening with Passion and I too have Feb 16th on my calendar. Thanks for EVERYTHING y’all do and have a wonderful Christmas!!!
December 13th, 2008 at 1:38 PM
Hi Louie,
I watched Fruitcake again last night.
The story of Ashley is so overwhelming, that I find it easy to focus on that more than anything else.
However, when watching it for the second time, I was drawn more specifically to “getting” grace. It was an amazing description of what WILL happen to each of us when we finally do grasp it.
In addition to that is the idea of living in that tension between being out of our minds for God and in our right minds for others. I am not a teen and in that time of life that is somewhat forgiving when they “go crazy” for something, (after all, they’re young); it would not be something that a mature adult should do, right? And yet I’ve found a thirst for truth that seems to be unquenchable right now. And as I find those nuggets through the Bible, I want to go crazy and share it with others. Of course, when I do, they often look at me with that “you’re crazy” expression. But then, they have not been with me through the search that brings the excitement when God’s truth is revealed. I get excited just thinking about it. It made me wonder if perhaps I was born in the wrong generation… I’d totally get into the Passion movement.
Is there some way for a 40-something person to get involved?
December 14th, 2008 at 10:19 PM

Dear Louie,
A few weeks ago we watched the dvd series “Indescribable” during our Monday evening house group gatherings. We were absolutely speechless and humbled by the content of these dvds, and I personally was so moved and inspired by this stuff that I wrote a post all about it the very next day on my blog @ http://www.ransom33.wordpress.com. The post is entitled “Stop press! This will blow your mind”.
This post has created a ripple effect and many have contacted me to say thanks for landing such a jewel on their computer screens. A lady who is Romanian has inserted a link to my blog in hers and dozens of people have been accessing your videos through that.
I simply want to say thank you so much for your obedience, passion, and sheer joy at sharing such a wonderfully awe-inspiring message.
Please keep up the good work and do let me know if you are ever in the UK. I shall make sure everyone I know turns up for that.
My prayer for you is that you and your team keep focused, keep humble and keep our Lord Jesus Christ at the very center of everything you are doing for His praise and His glory. May the Lord bless and protect you in everything you do in His Glorious and Mighty Name.
Blessings,

Earlier this summer, my boss (I work in a custom home construction business) brought in Indescribable to watch during our Monday morning meeting. It was amazing. Riveting.. awe inspiring.. mostly Worship inspiring. Thank you.
Since then, my husband & I ordered Indescribable, How Great is our God & Hope when life hurts most for ourselves. We’ve shared them with others, and in our home groups. I’ve just placed another order.. we LOVE your talks, and the conversations, the worship that they inspire.
God bless you for your obedience to the task, and for being such an amazing good and faithful servant.
God Bless,
Amy in Ontario.

Hey Louie, WOW! you have come a long way from the days at Tallowood and the Ft. Davis mission trip that we went on in ‘85! Praise God for all the wonderful opportunities you have had to bring people to Christ! I may just have to post some of the old pics.
Do you remember speaking at the CSU meeting at Lee? I pray that I will be able to see you the next time you are in Omaha. Please tell Shelley “hi”.

Have you ever thought about doing a Passion Christmas Record?

Hey Louie!
How are things going with the Passion team? Any chance we’ll get another podcast for Christmas?
Just wanted to wish blessings and God’s favor on you and the team this Christmas. Can’t wait to hear what God will do thru Passion in the year to come!!

The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Just wanted to say that I thought about Student Life @ Daytona Beach when you spoke about making Jesus “Famous” and how it is so neat to watch Tim Tebow make Jesus famous by what he does on the field and what he says by giving all the glory to God! What a testimony!

I’ve been to your conference twice in the past, and I’ve never had any better time than the two times at your conference! I miss them so much… late night singing, break-out sessions, and wonderful praise & worship times… just unforgettable…
