CONCLAVE
Refine your God given Talents
Workshop to Equip Church Staff and Volunteers
The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo in The Sistine chapel, Vatican City
Has Hollywood lost it’s soul?
Movies that motivate and inspire are in short supply these days. The reasons many of us were drawn to this industry was because of stories filled with hero’s. Most scripts are modeled after the hero’s journey. The good guy besting the bad guy. Good versus evil. Hope was part of the resolve.
Hollywood has created a culture that has distorted the view of conservatism and faith. There is poor representation and they have taught younger generations to have little to no respect for the church or believers. Focus on propaganda and indoctrination has gotten so bad that it shows in the quality of the work. The art of film making has been forgotten and the craft is on a downward spiral.
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Italy
Throughout history, there have been many talented artist that were believers, like Michelangelo, da Vinci and Van Gogh. Their art told stories about life and it’s struggles.
The builders of St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel show the glory of God through amazing architecture. Stories of faith are sculpted on the walls and have lasted the test of time. So much so that we are able to appreciate their labor today.
In today’s modern world, art is not very good and in some cases it’s really bad. It doesn’t carry the same weight. The same goes for faith based media, however, It’s getting better and people are starting to notice.

CONCLAVE is a donation workshop designed for churches to educate their drama, media and tech departments. To help improve the quality of videos, plays, social media content, and live events.
We have to sharpen our skills and talents, like a sculptor sharpens his chisel. We need to become the tool God can use to carve and reshape our society.
The digital renaissance is upon us. We need to be relevant and make great content for the glory of God. It’s a tall order but media is how we reach the ends of the earth. I believe it’s what’s expected of us and I’m here to SERVE.
