Resources
A glimpse makes us want to see again.
Take another look.
As we continue to add more Glimpse films, we’re often asked for resources to help the Church do what Jesus said we need to do (but aren’t very good at doing). These resources are designed to answer that need.
The good news of Jesus is free, so we believe Glimpse resources should be free too. However, while the gospel is freely given, sharing it is not without cost. Your support helps sustain the work of Glimpse, enabling us to help more people encounter the good news of Jesus and equip more churches to share it.

Glimpse creates short, highly visual films with one simple goal: to give people a glimpse of Jesus. We are now taking that same creative approach in a new direction with 'A Story Bigger Than Ourselves': a new seven-part video resource designed to help ordinary Christians feel more confident and equipped to share their faith.
Evangelism can often feel intimidating, complicated, or like something best left to people with a particular personality or gifting. We believe, however, that every follower of Jesus has a part to play.
Each short session explores one practical idea, helping you discover authentic ways of sharing your faith that fit your personality, relationships, gifts and everyday lives. Rather than offering a formula or method, ‘A Story Bigger Than Ourselves’ is designed to encourage, equip, and energize ordinary Christians to take their place in God's bigger story.
The resource includes seven short, visually engaging videos, alongside supporting materials that can be used in churches, small groups, leadership teams, or individually.
Our hope is simple: that this resource will help churches cultivate a culture where more people feel encouraged and confident to share the love and good news of Jesus.
We are excited to offer this free resource to you and your church and hope it will be a useful resource as you encourage your people to share their faith. We are praying these resources energize you and your church and see many people meet Jesus!
Our hope, and the reason we created these seven ideas is that the love of God would be seen and experienced by those who don’t yet know Jesus. For that to happen, we need to show and tell people a story that is bigger than ourselves.
Evangelism begins with the heart. It is not primarily about having the right words, knowing all the answers, or feeling that we have to persuade someone. It begins with something much simpler: God loves people, and he invites us to share that love.
Sometimes the hardest part of talking about Jesus is knowing what to say. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would help his followers know what to say. The good news is wonderfully simple: God loves us.
Introducing someone to Jesus is rarely one person's work. It is more like a journey made up of many different steps. You may only be one part of the journey, but your part is important.
People may forget facts and figures, but stories stay with us. Stories carry emotion, experience and meaning. Every person has a story, and your experience of Jesus is something you can share.
Questions are not something Jesus was afraid of. In fact, Jesus asked many questions and welcomed people who had questions of their own.
Jesus often gave people a glimpse of God's kingdom, God's love and what life with God could look like. That is the idea behind Glimpse films. They are short, visual stories designed to make people think, talk and consider some of life's biggest questions.
Following Jesus does not end when someone first believes. In many ways, it is only the beginning. None of us has arrived. We are all still learning. We were never meant to follow Jesus entirely on our own.
A Story Bigger Than Ourselves: Guided Journal
We’ve created an accompanying Guided Journal, free for you to download and use on your own or in a group. With this journal, you have the opportunity to make something of the moment. We will be unpacking each theme, offering questions to get the conversation started and suggesting some actions to take.
How you use them is your decision. Our goal is not that you follow them rigidly, but that you help people encounter the love of Jesus.
Let’s learn together.
Glimpse Season Resources
Personal Resource Pack
Each film has three intentionally designed questions used to help provoke conversation by giving someone a glimpse of Jesus. Download the set of questions and use them to guide your conversations as you explore the big questions the Glimpse films address.
Group Resource Pack
Each film also has accompanying resources to explore with others. Meet with a small group of friends, watch a 5-minute film, and explore questions, reflections, readings and prayers created to stimulate life-impacting discussions. Each resource takes around an hour.
