People are swiping, scrolling, skipping. The Gospel is timeless, but the way we share it has to speak the language of today’s culture. That’s where media—especially film—comes in. I didn’t just write this book to talk about filmmaking.I wrote it to put the tools, strategies, and inspiration in your hands so you can move your message from the four walls of your church… to the four corners of the earth. And here’s the truth: you already have a story worth telling.You just need the roadmap to share it powerfully. This book is that roadmap.
