Follow the journey of five individuals as they tell authentic stories of circumstances that have forced them to examine how God might fit into their lives.
This five-week small group resource helps spark spiritual conversations. Starting spiritual conversations with those outside of the church is a worthy, yet often difficult and intimidating task. Intersect was designed to help overcome those barriers. It is an easy-to-use resource, perfect for sharing with co-workers, friends, neighbors, and family to enter into meaningful conversations.
Each film is accompanied by thought-provoking questions designed to encourage participants to examine the world in which they live and the life they are pursuing, always ending with a conversation on how Jesus intersects the current topic. Allow this powerful new film resource to engage those you are in relationship with and then propel them forward in their next step with Jesus.
Intersect contains five short (approximately 5 minutes each) films that cover different topics: expectation, rest, disappointment, trust, and control. Each film focuses on one person's story, which illustrates the topic. The DVD comes with a study guide that includes questions to ask before and after the film is shown.
I enjoyed this DVD. It's intended to foster discussion, and it doesn't dive deep into scripture; instead, it gets people thinking about their lives and how God might fit in. As the films progress, they become more spiritually oriented. The first film, "Expectations," talks about how life doesn't go as we plan, and that's something that everyone can relate to. By the last film, "Control," God's role in our lives is clearly discussed. I think that progression of slowly making the films more spiritually oriented is good—you won't scare people off with the first film, and by the last, they might be seriously thinking about how God could fit into their lives.
I think Intersect would be great for a youth group or small group setting where people are exploring their faith. It's not meant to be an in-depth study for mature believers, but it could be an excellent tool for starting a conversation with friends and neighbors who are not Christians. 4 stars.
