Romance can be tough… especially when you’re both ninjas!

If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d highly recommend checking out “The Butterfly Circus”. It’s a short film written, produced, and directed by Joshua Weigel, the youth pastor/actor in the movie, “To Save a Life”.
“The Butterfly Circus” is a powerful tale of grace in the midst of struggle, following the story of a limbless sideshow act whom “even God has turned His back on” to… well… something much better. (I don’t want to ruin it for you.)
We showed it to students at Catalyst Disciplship last night and simply asked them to answer the following question: “What’s one thing that stuck out to you from this film?”
There were about ten in the group and I was pleasantly surprised by their response. We ended up talking about self-worth, pride, turning the other cheek, personal struggles/hardships, taking a stand, encouraging others, abuse, and more… all from the student’s different viewpoints — their collective take on the film.
Check it out for yourself below. It was the 1st place recipient of The Doorpost Film Project.
