Can I Touch It?
The warning sign read: "Stay at least three feet away from the fence." My family and I were just west of Denver when we stopped at a rest area to use the bathroom. A tall chain-link fence ran along the back side of the property. Behind the fence, mounds of dirt were scattered here and there. The same warning sign was repeated every 20 feet. I was curious. What’s the big deal? Then I saw it. One of the mounds moved … then grunted. Two dozen or so wild bison ... Read more

Movie Review: "I Can Only Imagine"
We don't often provide reviews for movies. But since our organization is all about using film to spread the gospel it just makes sense that from time to time we'd encourage you to seea movie that helps people see Jesus . After all, we’re not the only folks out there doing this. The movie, "I Can Only Imagine " (recently in theaters) tells the story behind the 2001 hit song byMercyMe . I have to say, the ... Read more

Can Movies Spark Spiritual Conversations?
"How could the main character have handled that differently?" I asked my kids after the movie ended. Our family watches a lot of movies together. I sometimes try to find a spiritual lesson from the film that we can discuss. Some conversations are quick—others lengthy. I don't always understand some of the responses I get from my children, but they are always interesting and rich with discovery. Their answers help me know where they are in their spiritual journey. This method is used a lot during our mission trips ... Read more

Contrasting Hollywood
Quick, what's your favorite movie ever? Chances are, the reason it's your favorite is because it had a message that touched you somehow. Back in 2009 we shot the film "Rivka" (a sequel to our movie "Magdalena: Released From Shame") primarily for Middle Eastern women. Like any religious movie, we knew it could have a very short shelf life. None of us thought God would still be using "Rivka" today. And not only in the Middle East, but in places we never imagined. Guess what else came out in ... Read more

Holy Grounds
I love a good cup of coffee. It's even better with a friend or as a relational, unthreatening way to get to know someone new. Coffee, tea and other drinks bring people together and help new relationships not feel so stiff and formal during that first meeting. This seems to work almost anywhere in the world. Check out this story... Reiner was sharing the story of Jesus in a small village when one man interjected, "Jesus told his disciples to 'Love your enemies.'" Reiner was shocked. No one had ever ...

In The Principal's Office
I feel like I must have one of the best jobs at Jesus Film Project®. Our team is responsible for collecting and sharing all the amazing accounts of changed lives that occur as a result of God using our films. I consider it an honor to read the many stories that come across my desk from around the world. A recent story I came across demonstrates the power of changed lives in small, everyday, actions of faith. When I first read the story, I could almost visualize the scene because stories of refugees flood my ... Read more
