Episode 9: The 5-Part Formula Behind Every Great Story—From Blockbusters to Scripture

Every great story—whether in film, TV, or even the Bible—follows a universal structure built around five essential steps. Once you recognize them, you’ll see storytelling in an entirely new way. In this episode of Cinematic Scripture, we break down these five foundational steps—The World, The Disruption, The Action, The Opposition, and The New World—and explore how they shape the narratives we love. From Star Wars to Spider-Man, Toy Story to Top Gun: Maverick, and even Scripture itself, these storytelling patterns connect deeply with our human experience. Learning to spot them not only enriches how we engage with films but also helps us understand the greatest story ever told. Join me, Cyle, as we dive into the art of storytelling, discovering how these timeless narrative elements reveal truth, transformation, and redemption. Let’s roll the film!
