And... We're Back!

After a season of great distraction (we were texting and talking on our cell phones while driving) we are please to announce that the knuckleheads who run UnKommon Media are back in the driver's seat and will be roaring the engines of creativity to make sure that you have instant access to some of the newest and coolest resources in youth ministry.

So here is the deal. Each week we will be posting a new free product you can download.

But in return we would really like you to tell your youth ministry friends about us and if you have anything cool you have created that is ready for others to purchase please submit it to the store!

Okay youth workers, we would really like your feedback on this free download.

The Trapdoor is another comic designed for Middle School kids to grab and take home. It is one of twenty different print yourself comics which will come in both black and white as well as color versions.

The concept is this: we all know that addressing all the various issues and Bible truths within an hour or two each week is difficult. Grab&Go Resources have been created to put on a small table along with other free literature and stuff (Bibles, promo materials for upcoming events, etc.) so that kids can scoop them up on their way in or out of a meeting.

This has worked REALLY well with our youth group -- but we would like to know how YOU think they would work with yours. What we would really like feedback on is this:

• We are trying to make this as easy and cheap as possible for a youth worker to print and use. Does this format work for you? (You print them on both sides of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper and fold twice.)
• Would you like an e-mail version -- a comic whose layout was read without taking into account folding?
• We will be covering various topics: peer pressure, friendship, and simple Biblical theology (the trinity, forgiveness, etc.) Are there any concepts that you are particularly interested in?
• If you had twenty or so of this kind of Middle School take away comics available to you, would you use them?

Use the "Reviews" button on the product page to leave your feedback.

+ Check it out!

Thanks for helping Unkommon Media continue to create cutting edge stuff for youth workers by youth workers!

Clash Entertainment, Inc. announces launch of clashentertainment.com -- a new entertainment/portal website for Christian teenagers!

Clash Entertainment, Inc. is pleased to announce the grand opening of clashentertainment.com! ClashEntertainment.com is an entertainment/portal web site designed to be so rich and deep with entertaining media, that teens will want to visit, and stay for sustained periods of time. The site is updated daily with fresh content that includes news, reviews, interviews, comics, music, videos, games, career information, and more. There also is a huge list of links to other Christian websites of interest to teens.

To encourage interactivity and participation by teens, an exciting feature is the "MyLife" section which allows teens to let the world know about their life: what they are watching, reading, doing, thinking, prayer requests, pose questions, encourage others, etc.

"A site like this offers much to the Christian community," says Ken Raney, president of Clash. "Teens will have access to entertaining, enlightening, and even edifying media; Christian creatives will have an outlet to use their gifts for the Lord and His Kingdom; and Christian publishers will now have access to the teen market, something that has been very difficult in the past."

"We have a passion for Christian teens," said Raney. "We want to see to it that they have available to them entertaining media that doesn't undermine their faith. The Christian teen/tween is the most underserved demographic in media. We believe the Lord has led us to begin to fill that gap. We also believe that soon the window of opportunity will be flung wide open and we will see an explosion of excellent entertainment media for teens."

The name Clash comes from Ephesians 6:12, "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." (NLT)
