Four shooting blocks over nine months across six states. Ten episodes, five hours of content. For me and the rest of the City on a Hill Productions team, a trial-by-fire course in guerrilla Christian type my essay online filmmaking. H2O was our first major productio
n, the project that would put us on the map, forge a new genere, and establish the direction of the ministry for years to come.
And that was seven years ago. I can’t believe it.
But fortunately, H2O has stood the test of time. It continues to be a great tool for both church growth and one-on-one personal evangelism. The stories still challenge the mind and move the heart. Thats why we’re doing an
official re-release of the whole series of H2O resources later this spring. We’ve done some re-configuring of the series, and we’ve gone back into the editing room to tweak some things we had always wanted to address. Most significantly, we’ll be running the ball ourselves, as our hugely successful experience self-distributing NOT A FAN has put us in a perfect position to get H2O into the hands of those who need it most.
If you havent seen H2O, stay tuned. I’ll be sharing a ton of clips as the re-release date approaches. For now, let me turn things over to longtime partner Kyle Idleman. This particular invitation isn’t meant for churches or small-group leaders. It’s for the person considering joining an H2O group… the person with questions, with hopes, but also with a healthy dose of skepticism about all things churchy:
Do you like the spirit of that invitation? Does that sound like something you’d be comfortable sharing with someone you know who is just at the point of asking questions about Jesus and Christianity? Let me know!
Dear Shane,
Loved it! Of course, I LOVED the H2O study! I would absolutely share it with others.

you know, what has city on the hill/kyle done that has’nt been god driven & seriously hit the mark ever.h20 was a very good example, it nailed it from the g in go. but as the story teachings have been showing us,huge blessings of out-reach sometimes come much later. (2nd peter, 3:8)i know i don’t need to bring this up to the people involved,but i would like for someone (i guess me) to bring the holy spirits moving through kyle & his teachings (sermons) to be put together by the general congregation.really,brothers & sisters,follow the spirits message,then kyle”s sermons & you will find your-self watching a bible-study/movie made by all the blessed work of the lord.city’s latest release (and comments by production) the gods of war,which was kyles sermon on idoltry is just one of many examples i’m trying to hit home with. we(secc)& for the most part, the world,thats right,i said the world,are so blessed to be in a time of, dave stone,kyle, the elders, who in their own way have made this godly phenom. possible. city&its crew,you, me,the list of people is just to long to list in this small forum,but im sure you get my point. with all of these projects the one thing that is ever so clear people is, without question or doubt, GOD is in the house,period. we are so fortunate to be in a place & time where god is in our lives with so many blessed people to show us all with things such as re-release,so on, & so forth. let us rally around god & his messangers. let us show him & these many people working on getting his word out by film & by the teaching of scripture,hey,were with ya. to him all the glory,for without him there is nothing. thank you father,sincerely,your follower,kent
