Episode 21: The World – Can Story Be Sacred? My Faith & Film Journey


Listen Later

Before I ever taught on faith and film, I wrestled with the tension between them.

In this episode of Cinematic Scripture, I share my personal journey—from growing up in the pews to finding gospel echoes in popcorn moments. Using the first movement of story structure, The World, I explore how films stirred something sacred long before I had language for it. Batman, Star Wars, The Matrix… these weren’t just entertainment—they were invitations. But the church didn’t always know what to do with that ache.

This is the story of sacred tension, cinematic longing, and the questions no sermon ever answered. If you’ve ever felt torn between the stories you love and the faith you hold, this episode is for you. 📽️ Watch attentively. Reflect spiritually. Lead from story.

🛠️ And if you’re ready to move from cinematic longing to spiritual activation, join me for the 5-Day Challenge: Gospel Clarity Through Story.

I’ll guide you through a transformative process to:

✅ Awaken the ache that stories stir
