The Reason for God DVD series

Brandon just finished going through this DVD series with several of his workmates. B strongly recommends this series with your own co-workers, neighbourhood friends, or with anyone else who may be interested.

We have have been praying for some time now that this would happen at his work.

For the past 6 weeks there were 5-7 workmates that met once a week during their lunch break.

Each week they watched one of the episodes. They tend to go for about 20 minutes. Timothy Keller puts forth a question to a group of six people. For the next 20 minutes you get to listen/watch as these 6 people and Keller have a friendly and open discussion.

After watching the episode, B and workmates would then sit around and have their own discussion.

Brandon found that his workmates were all comfortable with talking and putting forth their personal beliefs. He also mentioned to me that he thought it was helpful several worldviews were represented by those who were discussing with Keller. Brandon thought each of his workmates felt represented by one of the people participating in the debate with Keller.


What to do next? That was the big question on B's mind last week. We are thankful that his workmates were all interested in continuing on with the discussion group. Because discussion was/is so important to them the possibilities were narrowed. Lunch time is only so long.

Today B decided to show the first sermon in Mars Hills' Doctrine series.  Apparently on their blog they have a more summarized version (only about 20 minutes long) that will lend itself well to the lunch time constraints.

Through all of this Brandon has met two others at work who are Christians. One who is a new believer. That is exciting. It is also exciting to hear the various questions the others have pertaining to what Christians believe. There are many misconceptions that they have heard which need to be cleared up. Lunchtime discussion seems to be a great way of doing it. Another friend of ours is thinking of doing something similar at his own work. You could pray for these two groups as one continues and another begins.
