Where's God?

BustedHalo.com's first YouTube video feature

"Where's God?" is our attempt to look more imaginatively at the movement of grace in each of our lives and chronicle the countless different ways God is at work. It also marks our first foray into the YouTube universe (youtube.com/bustedhalovideo). We hope that this new video feature (BustedVideo!?!), in which associate editor Jeff Guhin describes his experience of God outside the walls of Church, will inspire others to realize that it doesn't take an "expert" to see God's presence in their own lives.

Bill McGarvey is the editor-in-chief of BustedHalo.com, Marc Adams is a production assistant for the site.
