DVD - Noise -05 -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".

Noise:  Why is silence so hard to deal with? Why is it so much easier for us to live our lives with a lot of things going on all the time than just to be in silence? We're constantly surrounded by "voices" that are influencing us on how to think, feel, and behave. Movies, music, TV, internet, cell phones, and a never-ending barrage of advertising. There's always something going on, always noise in our lives, but maybe there's a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God. If God sometimes feels distant to us, maybe it's not because he's not talking to us, but simply because we aren't really listening.
