We are all in bondage to...something. Some addictions are more visible, but all of us oppressed (and for that matter, oppressors). We all have a tendency to forget that there is a God - and we are not God. We end up with broken relationships, loss of communion with our true, In-Christ selves, you name it - we end up with troubles related to our forgetfulness. Those who have had very visible afflictions are given the gift of desperation. And it is a beautiful by-product of desperation, as we seek to recover our faith, that we've re-discovered some ancient, traditional spiritual practices. These spiritual practices align with the work of recovery and the work of faith. In these 9 films we captured the experience, strength, and hope of our friends who are using these practices: silence, empathy, compassion, living transparently, waking up, surrender, powerlessness, deep listening, and service. This is their gift to the listener - out of the rubble of a life in bondage, resurrection gardens grow.
The 9 session films series with Matthew Russell, Teresa McBeal, Dale Ryan and Friends includes an accompanying discussion guide.
