Understanding Other Religions from Intersection on Vimeo.


We live in a multi-cultural society where many religions need to co-exist. So how can Seventh-day Adventists relate to their neighbors who may not believe exactly what they do? In "World Religions Next Door" our panel talks about the challenges facing Seventh-day Adventists as they witness to those around them and the opportunities they have to share the gospel. 

Cohabitation from Intersection on Vimeo.

These days many people are choosing not to get married--to just live together. Yet, Seventh-day Adventists still believe that marriage is an important and sacred covenant between God and humanity. In "Does Marriage Still Matter?" our panel talks about how the Church can minister to those who have made the decision to cohabitate and ways to convince others that marriage is still the best option. 

Why Pray? from Intersection on Vimeo.

Does it sometimes seem when you pray that God isn't there--you are talking to a brick wall?  In "Why Pray" our panelists talk about why a prayer is important for your own spiritual growth. They discuss the importance of not only praying for yourself but also for others. They also address the pain of feeling God isn't listening and the importance of having faith that He is listening and answering our prayers.

Featured Panelists: Peter Landless: associate director of Health Ministries, Adventist world church; Kendra Haloviak: assistant professor of religion, La Sierra University; Willie Hucks, associate editor, Ministry Magazine

Becoming What We Watch from Intersection on Vimeo.

When we listen to music it has the ability to move us to tears, joy or even anger. Movies scare us, make us laugh and make us cry. So, how far does what we ingest have an effect on us, emotionally, spiritually and even sometimes physically? In "Becoming What we Watch" our panel talks about the advantages and disadvantages of using media and also talks about principles for deciding what to consume.
