animate FAITH

Not your typical adult ed class—
Starting August 23

Animate helps thinking adults explore a dynamic, mature Christian faith that can transform our relationship with God and the world around us. Each week, we will watch a short introductory video, learning from some of the most influential Christian leaders of our day, such as Brian McLaren, Lilian Daniel, Nadia Bolz-Weber, and Bruce Reyes-Chow. Together we’ll discover what it looks like to animate the faith God has given us.

Animate is intended for the questioners: those people who are both skeptical of rigid doctrine and cynical toward fluffy, feel-goodery.

Animate FAITH is broken into seven sessions: God, Religion, Jesus, Salvation, Cross, Bible, and Church. Each film short is about 10 minutes long and is a combination of a direct address to the camera and simple sketches that visually emphasize key points and concepts.

This series offers few answers. Instead, it raises questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Church, and how we understand salvation, the cross, and spirituality. The series doesn’t toe doctrinal lines, it crisscrosses them.

It offers us the promise to create space for important conversations about God, the world and ourselves. It offers opportunities to ask questions, wrestle through disagreements, seek peace, and ultimately, animate our faith.
