Hashing it out in the Elephant Room
More clips from the Elephant Room talks. I would love to see more video from the discussion with David Platt about poverty and pastors. The clip that we have here raises way more questions in my mind than answers. Wish I could see more of it. Anyone know why these videos are not being released for free?

My guess would be the amount of money that went into this high production is probably some of the cause of it not being free. If they don't make it free at least bring the price down...geez
I believe Ben is right. I had heard that the costs were about $40,000 beyond what was recouped from the paid attendance. The DVD sales are explicitly meant to help offset some of that cost.
Sorry, but the DVDs are just too expensive. I really wonder how many will actually pay $50 for them. I think they could have scaled back on the production aspect and had the same end result and thus offered it at a cheaper price (or maybe free).
On the 3rd clip, I'm having a little trouble with James's complaint against some of the issues David has raised with the consumerism & money management within the church. I don't think saying someone may use his writings as a stick to keep pastors in the poor house holds any water.
...we don't hold back on talking about sin, with the concern/fear that someone might become legalistic in this area. Why would this issue be treated any different.
I'm as interested to seeing more on this topic.
Responding to DaddyG, I think this conference discussed some vital issues, not to mention to the opportunity to see the type of banter that can happen between well-known pastors and authors when they get together to "talk shop."
So I ordered not one, but three sets of the DVDs because I think there are pastors in my area who would be interested.
(Does anyone know when the sets are shipping?)
