Believing in God is important, but what about God believing in us? Believing that we can actually be the kind of people we were meant to be. People of love, compassion, peace, forgiveness, and hope. People who try to do the right thing all of the time. Who act on the endless opportunities around us every day for good, beauty, and truth. Itś easy for us to sometimes get down on ourselves. To feel "not good enough" or feel like we dont́ have what it takes. But maybe if we had more insight into the culture that Jesus grew up in and some of the radical things he did, wed́ understand the faith that God has in all of us. NOOMA is a new format for spiritual direction. It is short films touching on issues that we care about, that we want to talk about, and it comes in a way that fits our world. It's a format that's there for us when we need it, as we need it, how we need it..
