The Philadelphia Eleven
Produced and directed by Margo Guernsey and Time Travel Productions, this film tells a story that continues to resonate today as women seeking ordination continue to face resistance, disrespect and exclusion from roles reserved by men for men. The documentary explores the lives of these remarkable women who succeeded in transforming an age-old institution despite the threats to their personal safety and the risk of rejection by the church they loved.
(This is still a controversial issue today and worth examining to stay informed in our thinking.)
Margo Guernsey
Filmmaker Margo Guernsey: Films include Councilwoman (America ReFramed 2019), No Time To Fail (America Reframed 2023) and The Philadelphia Eleven (opening in select theaters this May).

David Raybuck, Alternative Rock Artist
Alternative rock musician David Raybuck released a powerful new single, "He Knows Your
Name," on November 1, 2023. This spiritually charged song offers solace and hope to those grappling
with the weight of suicidal thoughts. "He Knows Your Name" is not just a song; it's a lifeline, a message
of love, and a reminder of the intrinsic worth every individual possesses.
Inspired by the profound words of Psalm 139, which declare that we are wonderfully made and known
by God, this song encourages listeners to call on God for salvation and freedom from hopelessness. In a
world where far too many people believe they are a worthless and meaningless accident, David
Raybuck offers a compelling counter-narrative found in scripture: that God is the one who created
you, and he did not make a mistake by doing so.
“He Knows Your Name” is the latest example of David Raybuck’s unconventional use of
secular-sounding music with lyrics that point people to God. Emotive melodies are woven together
with styles reminiscent of influential artists like Ryan Adams, Coldplay, and Tom Petty to create an
experience that is both catchy and unique. "I am very excited about this song because I believe God is
going to use it to save lives, both physically and spiritually," says David Raybuck.
(Check into the other songs David is releasing throughout the months in 2024. Check on Spotify or SoundCloud)
David Raybuck
David Raybuck is the prodigal singer-songwriter of spiritual alt-rock for music freaks, and he is on a
mission to help people encounter their Creator through music. With far too much generic and dark
music in the world, David wants to reach the ears of music lovers who are stirred by original songs with
undeniable beauty and creativity. He draws from the influences of incredible artists like Radiohead,
The Beatles, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ween, Led Zeppelin, Elliot Smith, Supergrass, Air,
Failure and many others to create music that is catchy yet unique, with flavorings of alternative rock,
folk, grunge, & Americana that sound nothing like what people would expect from “Christian music”.
While David is relatively new to the independent music scene at the age of 42, he has been writing
music since his teenage years. In his youth, his musical efforts were selfishly motivated and led him
down a destructive path. But after rejecting Christianity for most of his life, David realized the error of
his ways in his early 30s and is now dedicated to serving God and sharing his life-changing message
with others.
David lives with his wife Lindsay near Cleburne, Texas just south of Fort Worth, and he is a father of
seven children, pastor at a local church, and professional computer nerd. In the limited amount of
time these roles have spared him, he has continued to write a lot of music over the years, and now it is
finally time to spread it. David produced his debut 14-song album, The Prodigal, in his modest home
studio in 2022. Showbiz Now Magazine called it “one of the most idiosyncratic songwriting
collections released in recent memory as well as one of the finest gospel-themed albums in the
last quarter century.” David is currently working on his second album and is committed to releasing
much more work in the future by drawing from new inspiration and over two decades of unfinished material.

Brock Starnes
The Wingfeather Saga chronicles the adventures and transformations of the Igiby family as they discover secrets of their family history, flee the evil Fangs of Dang, seek their place in the world, and make a stand against the mysterious ruler, Gnag the Nameless. They will need their special gifts and all the love of their noble mother and ex-pirate grandfather to survive the venomous Fangs, sea dragons, flabbits, and (gulp) toothy cows!Season 2 synopsis: The Wingfeather children, Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli, thought they were normal children. But they’re actually royalty: the Jewels of Anniera, royal heirs of a distant and fallen Kingdom. And now everyone wants to capture them. They’re forced to flee the only home they’ve ever known and travel through the dizzying Fingap Falls, twisting Strander Burrows, and the Fang-infested Dugtown, to find passage to the Ice Prairies—where lizard Fangs can’t follow. The future of their family, and perhaps the fate of Skree, rests on their young shoulders. The world of Wingfeather grows ever larger in the second season, with the family facing new perils, new lands, and friendships forged in hope.
