about re:View
In the world, but not of it? Light in the darkness? Christians throw these phrases around all the time. What is all of it supposed to mean? Even if you understand it, it's impossible to do, right? How does a student discern and engage the world? Movies, music, and advertising come at them from a variety of angles; is there a way to filter through all of it? How do we teach students the importance of filtering and engaging the culture?
Introducing re:View, a curriculum and study for your student ministry designed for either a 13-session series or an abbreviated 7-session study. Consisting of seven award-winning short films, video teaching segments, and this resource-packed website, this revolutionary series will cause students to evaluate their world, discerning and engaging culture with a defined purpose.
Options. We put the tools in your hands. We know you interact with your students on a weekly, even a daily basis. You know your students, and what they'll connect with the most. re:View has been built with options in mind - you can present the topics in a way that best suits your students.
The re:View project is designed to revolutionize the way Christian media is viewed, and how secular media is discerned. It's amazing to watch how well the study works. You'll be amazed when you see your students evaluating today's culture through the lens of biblical truth.

It should be noted that the re:View study can also be taught in an abbreviated 7-session study, although this limits the amount of time and depth that can be given to each topic. We recommend the full 13-session study.

- Discern the worldview behind each expression of pop culture, identifying the underlying message.
- Filter the message, valuing the role of a theistic worldview.
