Take your group to a place ... ... Where they can see people's needs in a new way ... Where they can understand their calling ... Where they will learn how their faith can shape culture This six-session DVD and corresponding curriculum helps your group experience and envision how followers of Christ can be a counterculture for the common good. Together you'll experience stories of other believers who changed the culture around them. You'll watch how their journeys unfolded, their challenges, and their breakthroughs. Also included on the DVD are insights from trusted pastors and Christian leaders such as Tim Keller, Lauren Winner, James Meeks, Brenda Salter McNeil, and Ken Fong. Sessions consist of: 1. Begin: God calls the church to be a counterculture for the common good 2. Dwell: When we live closely with others, we find new opportunities to minister 3. Unite: We serve more effectively and joyfully when we serve together 4. Reconcile: God wants to heal our racial and ethnic divisions, especially in and through his church 5. Invest: Transforming entire communities begins when we give ourselves to people one by one 6. Abide: Spiritual disciplines help us abide in Christ so we can serve him faithfully

Review

'The videography is excellent and professional, and the stories are compelling....If you're looking for a missional resource to jump start discussions in your small church, this is a great place to start. Amazingly, 4-out-of-the-5 churches featured are small churches, so this should be a real encouragement to your congregation. Just shows that small churches can be missional churches that engage their culture effectively!' -- Confessions of a Small-Church Pastor

This review is from: Where Faith and Culture Meet: Six Sessions on How You Can Engage Your Culture (Intersect / Culture) (DVD-ROM)

My group thought this was a decent offering. They were encouraged by the stories of community outreach and inspired to be more involved themselves. It gives good ideas for a big city but did not really apply to my southern country setting. You might want to present this to a more academic type because the reasoning is geared more towards them. Still got benefit out of it no matter the relevance.
