#162. Pimping your kids from the pulpit. (3 video examples)

I've heard comedians say that they sometimes will have kids just so they can get some new sources of material. When the "what's the deal with being single" jokes dry up, they get married, have a kid and gain access to "what's the deal with diaper genies" material. Sometimes pastors are the same way.

My dad, New England's fourth Southern Baptist Minister, used to tell people that he gave his kids a dollar every time he mentioned them in a sermon. But I don't ever remember cashing in on those shout outs.

I deserve maybe $14 over the years but recently I wrote some introduction videos that are going to force one of my favorite ministers to pay his baby about $4.2 million. Joel Thomas, of North Point, was doing a 3-week series on what it means to have child-like faith at 7-22, a big single's event. So I wrote three different scripts and then Tripp Crosby, who is uber-talented, put them to the films he shot. The result is a baby that says things in the bathtub like, "Have you met my friend Scuba Steve? He's got a leg condition. Kicks them really quickly." Here they are:

1. Yeah, I said Twitter.

2. Bath time.

3. I just learned Spanish.
