DVD - Name -18- NOOMA Series

We can get anything we want, from anywhere in the world, whenever we want it.  That's how it is and that's how we want it to be.  Still, our lives aren't any different than other generations before us.  Our time is.  We want spiritual direction, but it has to be real for us and available when we need it.  We want a new format for getting Christian perspectives.  NOOMA is the new format.  It's short films with communicators that really speak to us.  Compact, portable, and concise.  Each NOOMA touches 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.

"NOOMA" comes from the phonetic spelling of the Greek word "pneuma", meaning "wind", "spirit", or "breath".

Name:  We all compare ourselves to others. We spend our lives wondering what others think and say about us. Some of us even wish we were someone else. We question why we are the way we are and not the way we wish we could be. Some of us have let the expectations of others dictate who we’ve become. We act a certain way to be accepted, but know that we’re being untrue. But why are we so concerned with what other people think, say, or look like? What does it say about us if we are unable to accept who we are? Maybe if we really knew our true selves, we wouldn’t give so much attention to other peoples’ lives, and live more in tune with the life God wants for us.
