mom4him Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 We have been going through a course called "Truth Project". I just had to write a short clip about it and encourage anyone that has the opportunity to participate in the course to do so. It has made me think and evaluate every week along with aha moments at least once every week. It is a 13 wk course so a bit of a commitment but well worth it.

Rosy Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 DH and I did that in our home group last year and LOVED it! Glad you're enjoying it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabeline Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 :iagree: We watched this course last year and it was great. I loved having the Christian worldview explained so thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 LOVED IT so much that I went to a training to become a leader for it and got my own copy of the DVDs. It is awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamturner Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My dad is a trainer for the Truth Project and has shown us 2 of the sessions. It's really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm doing this at our church while our girls are at choir and it's been wonderful! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in C-ville Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Really? You all LOVE it? We're doing it right now and I DREAD the videos each week (and I'm leading a group). To me, I think they should be about 30 minutes in length. They just seem too long and I struggle to stay awake at times. I also wish there was a woman expert or two rather than all older, white (except for Ravi Zacharias) men. The interviews with the people (unitarian woman, guy with tats, etc) bother me, b/c the people appear foolish. It also seems a bit odd to me that we're encouraged to lead TP groups in a small group setting and yet the videos are in a classroom setting. I completely agree with the worldview presented in the materials, so that's not the issue. Am I the only one not crazy about TP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosy Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Cindy--I do wish they were shorter (or easier to stop in the middle) as we have considered showing them to a young adults group--half an hour would be perfect. And I agree with your assessment of the interviewees. I do think they did a great job of laying out the Christian worldview in a clear, logical way. I appreciate materials that honor Scripture and support it with logic, rather than putting logic first or throwing it out altogether.

That is so funny because I wish they were longer! :D It seems I am so wrapped up in the info and then it's over. It would be nice if there were some females but thankfully, I really like all the experts they have on there especially Zacharias! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate materials that honor Scripture and support it with logic, rather than putting logic first or throwing it out altogether. Rosy, I agree. I'm sure I'm a bit biased b/c I tend to not like any type of small group study that uses video tapes. My very favorite way to do a small group is to exegetically study a book of the Bible exploring themes, doing word studies, etc. So, I'm not best-suited to lead this type of group. I do know that others are being blessed by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate materials that honor Scripture and support it with logic, rather than putting logic first or throwing it out altogether. I agree, Rosy. I do have to say that using a video is about my least favorite way to lead or participate in a small group. My preference is to exegetically move through a book of the Bible exploring themes, doing word studies, etc., and applying it to our lives. I do know that quite a few people are being blessed by them. Wow, Heather. You really wish they were longer? That's impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in C-ville Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Oops, sorry for the double post. I thought I had lost it. Heather, I really like Ravi Zacharias as well. He's my favorite on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 We watched these last year and enjoyed them. Half way through we (dh and I) met with Del Tackert in his office (nice office) and met several people at FOF who are on the videos. Have you watched Francis Shaeffer's How Shall We Then Live? They are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are great! I just ordered those! And I am WAY jealous that you met Tackett. He seems like such an intelligent and God-honoring man.
