Good morning, !

While Eileen is away on a writing retreat, we have something pretty cool things to share. Movies + faith conversations, anyone? 

This week our guest post “Teaching Gospels with Film” comes to us from Elizabeth-Anne Lovell, 3MMM Team member an adjunct instructor at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. 

As we approach the new school year, we are excited to offer a short series of guest posts on teaching. Elizabeth-Anne shares her reflections on listening to students, watching movies, and the joy she finds when teaching the Gospels with film to undergraduates.

Eileen is on retreat this week doing some writing. Are you writing these days, too? Join us for the next Mini Retreat? There is still time register. See below to sign up!

Finding Our Way Study

Fall is a great time think about how we are finding our way and dealing with multiple changes to the world, to our lives, and to the church. Erin Robinson Hall wrote this study guide to help you lead important conversations as you navigate a new era of ministry. Could your group use a new study for Fall?

We need to acknowledge the changes, ask good questions, listen, make space for grief, and start to tell new future stories. The “Finding Our Way” Study Guide can help you do all this and more.
