Film Series: The Ridiculous Journey

February 6, 2020 by Darren Wright

People can use this series as an individual, adding it to your daily or weekly devotional space, as a couple, with a friend, partner, lover or spouse or in a group setting, allowing space for conversation and prayer together.

This series of videos comes from The Work From The People, we have a subscription to their catalogue and have made a number of the films available with discussion/reflection material for people to use in their faith formation. Please do not distribute the films beyond the GUC community, or upload to youtube or facebook.

A search for purpose and meaning in the events and choices of our lives. A costly journey with an unknown destination. A Middle Eastern homeless man from twenty centuries ago and why he still stirs the souls and imagination of so many.

This 6-session series on Jesus’ invitation to follow him includes films by Nadia Bolz-Weber, Greg Boyle, Brené Brown, Emmanuel Katongole, Rachel Held Evans, Richard Rohr, and Rowan Williams, visual liturgies from Kelly Stewart Hall, Thomas Merton, Travis Reed, and Ann Voscamp and reflections by Rich Nelson.

Discussion Guide:

A guide is available to help you process the videos with resources, questions and ideas for reflection, for a copy of the discussion guide please contact Darren Wright.

Worship With Us

Worship is for all ages, (0 to 93!) and seeks to be meaningful in different ways for us all.

In Jesus Christ we see how he drew near to each and all and so we hope our worship expresses this nearness too.
