Intersect: Where your story and God's story converge-Small Group DVD

I had no trouble seeing how I would love to use this DVD as a small group study or even as conversation starters with people I meet daily. Although this DVD focuses on the UK, it is very applicable to life in the United States. I was hooked on the first story of the father discussing how life has changed from his expectations when his son was diagnosed with autism. I also could easily relate to the mom trying to balance life and work.

Part of the Awaken movement, this DVD is an excellent resource that will help to equip members of your church to live out their faith. The study is simple You watch the videos, which are actually short stories. There are 5 stories in the DVD. Inside the booklet in the case, there is a study guide for both facilitators and participants.

The great thing about this DVD is that it isn't necessarily geared just toward Christians in church. This is also for the unchurched, for those who are searching, or those who just like to have spiritual conversations. The topics that the study hits on are: expectations, rest, disappointment, trust, and control.

I did have my toes stepped on a little and had some great reminders in each of these sections. The control section and expectations, though, have stayed with me.

The video is beautifully done, with beautiful pictures of the U.K. It is not a video that is done halfway. You can tell they put their best into this resource for the church. I will definitely be holding on to this video and using it for a small group study. I can even see a group of teens using this study easily.

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.
