What is normal? For many of us, Christianity is based on all the evils we don't do. But what if our norm isn't normal to God? God calls us to redefine normal so that we can live in faith, hope, and love.

For many of us, normal Christianity is comfortable and secure, isolated, and based on allthe evils we don’t do. But what if our norm isn’t normal to God? What if God isn’t satisfied for us to settle for normal in our lives?

Our world needs Christians to be more than disciplined, more than moral, and more than honest - our world needs Christians to be blessings.

If you have the courage to redefine normal, or if you want to have the courage, come on this journey with us. We don’t claim to have all the answers, because we are on this journey as well. But from just a few steps ahead, we can tell you it is the adventure of a lifetime.

the Redefining Normal theme package includes all of the following:

Teaching Material

The Master Teacher's Guide is designed for use in large-group settings such as Wednesday night gatherings, combined Sunday School classes, summer camps, and other worship gatherings.

The Gathering Tool is designed to provide an opening illustration for groups that meet together in a large group before dividing into small groups or Sunday School classes. This will allow small groups to experience the series video and will add to the overall experience of going through the series.


• Supply List

Promotional Material

The full-bleed 11x17 poster (11.5”x17.5”) comes in two printer friendly versions (JPG and PDF). Import it into your favorite design application and add your event information in the provided blank space, or go old school and do it by hand.


• Animated Intro Video [ you should watch ]

These letter-sized Do-It-Yourself page headers are perfect for creating you own letters to parents/students, sign-up sheets, flyers, etc. Headers are available as JPGs in both Portrait and Landscape orientation and can be easily imported into your favorite design application or Microsoft Word.


• T-Shirt Artwork [ view ]
Stand out. Your event isn't complete until everyone has the shirt. Room 1228 T-shirt artwork is available as an Adobe Illustrator file (or Adobe EPS) and designed with professional printers in mind. Pick your own colors (for both shirt and inks) and style (long-sleeved, short-sleeved, hoodie, etc.). Have your printer add your event specific information. Hint, Hint :The vector format the shirts are designed in means that the art elements on them are ideal to enlarge. You can use these files to create banners, flags, and other resources of any size.

I wish there was more absurdity in life . . . and not of the gym socks, popped collars, and aviator glasses variety. I want talking bananas, silverware with little personalities, cows that do the dishes, and of course (hint, hint) pigs that fly - when the impossible happens and the laws of nature are turned upside down, normal isn’t normal anymore. This sudden loss of cabin pressure in our brains creates a visual vortex where our imaginations are forced to imagine once again. Our right to think is restored, our paradigms shift and “normal” will never be “normal” again.

That said, I invite you to take a tour of the Redefining Normal Pig Factory where the industrial assembly line thoughtlessly churns out “normal” pigs. Confined, limited, restrained, and robotic this mechanical metaphor serves as social and religious commentary on our various institutions that manufacture mediocrity. But never fear, when all seems lost and mediocrity the mainstay, enter our heros: The Flying Pigs(ta da). Formerly unsatisfied assembly line pigs (oink oink), the flying pigs defy convention, routine, and ceremony (and physics)and choose to live in a world not defined by silly things like gravity, biology, and normalcy. The flying pigs challenge us with an obscene freedom and inspire within us a dangerous ability to break free and redefine normal.
