Story-Shaped Discipleship for Christians Who Feel the Ache Between Creativity and Theology
Interpret Scripture and story side by side. Disciple with gospel clarity, cultural fluency, and sacred presence.
✨ The Invitation
I used to sit in church wondering why the films that stirred me felt more sacred than the sermons.
I didn’t have language for it—just an ache.
I studied theology. I studied story. And I realized: the ache wasn’t a distraction. It was a doorway.
Now I help Christians who feel that same tension interpret story and Scripture side by side—and disciple through story with clarity, beauty, and gospel-shaped imagination.

📖 About + Beliefs
You don’t need a theology degree to disciple through beauty.
You need vision, language, and a sacred invitation.
At Cinematic Scripture, we believe:
🕯️ Story is sacred – Every narrative holds spiritual weight and gospel potential
📖 Scripture is narrative – God speaks through story before systems
🎬 Culture doesn’t compete with Scripture – it reveals where redemption is needed
🫙 Discipleship isn’t something you produce—it’s something you embody
✝️ Jesus is the Son of God—fully God and fully man—born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and is the Messiah and Savior revealed through Scripture and the Holy Spirit. When we put our faith in Him, we are reunited with God in relationship and empowered to walk in the same Spirit-led life Jesus modeled.
The Church is the body of Christ—alive, active, and rooted in centuries of faithful witness. We honor its tradition, learn from its wisdom, and remain submitted to its spiritual legacy. While our methods may differ, we are guided by the Holy Spirit and shaped by the Church’s history, which serves as sacred guardrails to help us walk in step with the Spirit.
This is the heartbeat of Cinematic Scripture: to help you see story as sacred, Scripture as narrative, and your life as a living invitation to gospel-shaped discipleship.
It begins with attention, deepens through interpretation, and becomes transformation when shared through presence.
We’re here to help you lead with wisdom, not withdrawal—clarity, not condemnation.
You’re one story away from seeing Scripture—and culture—through gospel-shaped eyes.
