Pathways

At Chi Alpha fall retreat this year we're talking about what Gary Thomas calls "sacred pathways," which are simply the ways different people best connect with God. Some connect best in nature, others best in corporate worship settings, others when reading about their faith, etc. There are nine that he talks about.

Each pathway has its strengths and weaknesses, and each has value for everyone. But for retreat we decided it would be best to show negative examples of the temperaments. Because who doesn't learn from negative examples? So we made a little video (there will be 3 videos total) showing a couple of the pathways in not-peak form.

This is my first real foray into directing/editing/filming and otherwise putting a project like this together. The improv of the actors really brought it to life, way funnier than I had hoped. It was a blast. Here is it is:

We're doing two more of these for the actual retreat weekend. Can't wait!
