Intersect: Where Your Story and God’s Story Converge
Let
your story draw others to Christ
New
DVD series enables anyone to share their faith with those they love
Let’s face it: Opening up to
the people we love most about the most important issues in life — such as faith
— can be tough. Whether it’s embarrassment or misunderstanding, the fear of
rejection can keep our lips sealed, thus keeping our unsaved loved ones lost in
the dark. This is why Rob Peabody and Cris Rogers created Intersect:
Where Your Story and God’s Story Converge (Kregel
Publications/July 27, 2015/$15.99), a five-week short film resource designed
to help Christians engage their family, friends and neighbors in a meaningful
way about their faith. Whether used in a café, a friend’s living room or a more
formal church setting, the video series can be tailored to a variety of audiences.
Intersect follows the
lives of five people as they examine their struggles and triumphs in light of
what God teaches us about life in Scripture. Viewers can relate easily to their
stories, which cover issues such as:
·
Rest
·
Control
·
Expectations
·
Disappointment
·
Trust
The
power of story plays an important role in Intersect’s intended impact. “The beauty of each
person’s individual journey is that although they are each completely unique, they
can also relate and intersect,” Peabody explains. “When that happens, it may bring
validation, hope, assurance, comfort and meaning. In a day and age where truth
is debated and experience reigns supreme, our stories speak volumes.”
Avoiding
“Christianese,” Intersect is
specifically designed to appeal to all people, regardless of where they are on
their spiritual journey. “We’ve created Intersect
in such a way that anyone can play the films and facilitate the conversation
from the study guide,” Peabody explains. “We see Intersect as a ‘pre-intro to Christianity,’ entertaining ideas about
God and what He might have to say about universal issues we all face.”
In
the end, both Peabody and Rogers hope Intersect
will help Christians understand that even if they don’t feel like they have
anything to offer their searching loved ones, they have a story, and God wants
to merge with and use their story to reach the lost.
