🎬 Story-Shaped Discipleship
Interpret Scripture and Story to Disciple with Gospel Clarity
A 12-month coaching immersion for Christians who long to disciple through story—with theological depth, narrative fluency, and sacred imagination.
Become the kind of Christian who sees gospel truth in every story—and leads others with clarity, beauty, and spiritual presence.
✨ The Invitation
You’ve felt it.
The ache between creativity and theology.
The longing to disciple with depth, not just doctrine.
The frustration of seeing gospel echoes in film—but not knowing how to share them.
You don’t need another Bible study.
You need a new way of seeing.
A new way of leading.
A new way of discipling—through story.
This isn’t a course.
It’s a commissioning.
An invitation to become a story-shaped disciple.
🔥 The Payoff: A Better Future You Can Step Into
Imagine becoming the kind of Christian who…
- 💬 Shares Christ through any story—film, Scripture, or conversation—without hesitation or fear
- 🧠 Sees gospel truth in everyday moments and cultural narratives, and names it with beauty and clarity
- 🕊️ Leads spiritual conversations with confidence, without needing your pastor, a workbook, or a degree
- 🌍 Disciples through story in a way that feels natural, sacred, and deeply relevant to the world around you
You’ll move from:
- Consuming content → Embodying sacred presence

You’ll become:
- A story-shaped disciple

This isn’t just about learning. It’s about becoming.
It’s about stepping into a future where your love for Jesus and story no longer compete—but converge into a calling.

- Walk the Path – Embody story-shaped clarity in your discipleship

💫 What You’ll Learn and Experience
📖 The Bible as Narrative Arc
Genesis to Acts, with theological integration across themes of beauty, sacrifice, sin, grace, and restoration.
🎬 Cinematic Theology with Brad Bird
A deep dive into all six of his films—interpreting gospel echoes, cultural longings, and narrative reversals.
🧠 Storycraft & Interpretation Tools
The Story Lens Framework, redemptive rhythms, cinematic symbolism, and narrative tools for discipling through story.
🤝 Coaching & Community
24 live Zoom calls, lifetime replay access, private forum, and full archive of Seeing Gospel in Story.
Interactive spaces designed to form—not overwhelm.
📦 Traditional Education vs. Story-Shaped Formation
Traditional education is siloed. Formation shouldn’t be.
- 🎬 Film School teaches story techniques, directing, editing, visual language, and cinematic history.
💰 Cost: $20,000–$100,000 per year - 📖 Bible College teaches theological themes, historical context, denominational frameworks, preaching, and pastoral leadership.
💰 Cost: $38,000–$62,000 total
🛤️ Story-Shaped Discipleship meets both spheres—faith and film—in the middle.
It uses cinematic tools to see the Bible as narrative arc, engage culture spiritually, and lead with theological fluency and narrative clarity.
Each of the 24 cohort sessions and the private online forum delivers the depth of a year of college classes—without the fragmentation, cost, or time.
💡 Estimated Value: $50,000
🎓 Equivalent to dual-discipline formation in theology and storycraft

Actual Value Includes:
- 24 coaching sessions
- Online discussion forum
- Practical tools + Story Lens Framework
- Full archive of Seeing Gospel in Story
💡 Estimated Value: $50,000
Your Cost:
$7,500 Pay-in-Full
or 12 monthly payments of $750
🧭 Why This Price Is Right
If you earned degrees in both film and theology, you’d likely spend over $150,000 and 6+ years stitching together two worlds that rarely speak to each other.
Story-Shaped Discipleship offers that integration—faith and film, theology and creativity, gospel and culture—without the fragmentation, cost, or time.
🎁 You receive the full framework, mentorship, creative development, theological depth, and community—without stitching together disconnected programs or sacrificing years of time.
“If this cohort helps you lead one person into spiritual transformation through story, what’s that worth?
If it saves you years of wandering, what’s that worth?”
This isn’t just education. It’s legacy. It’s clarity. It’s calling.
🎯 Who This Is For
This is for the Christian who…

- Is ready to move from consuming content to embodying sacred presence
🚫 This Is Not for You If…
