Review: Razor’s Edge

Review: Razor’s Edge

Though an old video, created in 1994, The Razor's Edge has timeless truths. Richard "Toledo" Williamson, was a hustler, fighter, and drug dealer while trying to make a name for himself and erase the "You are nothing" title given to him by his step dad. Through a series of events he finds himself at an extremely low point in his life and almost takes his own life! A friend and a small booklet change his life and show the power of the message found in the world's best seller. We watched this video with the youth after asking and discussing…

Review: A matter of Faith

Review: A matter of Faith

One of the most challenging times in my life and in the lives of many youth in this world is the moment that they leave their parent’s home and step out into this world.

Review: Unidentified – Are UFOs real?

To be honest, with the connection to UFOs, at first I ignored this video as most videos about UFOs focus on scaring people and the theme “us verses them” or “how we beat them” or something like that. However, once I did get around to watching this video I found it has quite a different approach and is actually very refreshing. The focus of the video Unidentified is the question “What is the reason behind the UFO sightings?” There is certainly a lot of excitement and fear about this topic in the world and so the focus of this video…

Review: Self – When you’ve tried everything

Review: Self – When you’ve tried everything

“Self – When you’ve tried everything” is based on a true story of a man’s journey from addiction to freedom from addiction. Joshua Wright, actor, director, author and who this story is based on, has broken this short video into two parts: Part 1 is a short clip of the Joshua’s journey and Part 2 shows Joshua discussing his journey in length and explaining what worked and what didn’t work - truly only by God’s grace can someone truly beat addiction. We watched this with the youth in our Bible study group and really enjoyed it. Part 2 has many…
