Our Products

What sets our products apart?

Our programs use active learning as a primary tool to teach the truths found in scripture. Crazy games, intense small group discussions, and activities that challenge the spirit are all hallmarks of our programming. The foundation, however, is scripture and prayer. We advocate open and honest communication with God, both in private and in the midst of the group. Deep sharing of self is what sets our programming apart from the world.

...and Why?

...and Why? is the ultimate interactive way for groups of Christians to get to know each other better and to grow closer! This DVD based game literally puts you in control of how much you share about yourself. Using your DVD player's remote control, you choose one of six different categories which determines the type of question that you'll receive. After one game session, your group will start to "Tear Down The Walls" that separate them and begin to "Build Bridges" of interconnectedness based on their shared experiences. These caring conversations will lead to improved interpersonal relationships.

The game has an easily approachable and fun style that is simple to learn, yet endlessly variable. When you have the remote, you are in control. All of the questions require you to share things about yourself and some may even challenge you. The amazing thing is no matter how well you think you know a person, be ready because... The Answer May Surprise You! To learn more, check out the ...and Why? page .
