The first is a video titled "When Love Leads," and is about a couple fighting for their marriage. While watching this, I couldn't help but think of some of the things we talked about while going through John Piper's This Momentary Marriage last summer.
The second is called "Jacob Chen: An Adoption Story." Here's a brief blurb about the video that I found here:
“Jacob Chen: An Adoption Story” follows the Chen couple as they meet their adopted son, Jacob, for the first time. As the film demonstrates, adoption can be an outward witness to and expression of worship for God’s adoption of us—and a way to showcase the gospel in living color to the world (Gal. 4:4-7).
Austin Stone Church has launched a massive adoption campaign to try and adopt all 244 kids needing adoption in the city of Austin, Texas.
The third video is a longer one, which I haven't made through all the way yet. But it features a recent interview with Russell Moore, author of one of my favorite books, Adopted For Life. As his website bio states, "Moore is President-elect of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. At present, he also serves as Dean of the School of Theology and Senior Vice President for Academic Administration at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he also serves as Professor of Christian Theology and Ethics." I've watched/listened to about half of the video so far, and am impressed with Moore's reasoned, humble responses to questions from both the host and callers. If you find yourself interested in or engaged in the so-called "culture wars," I think this video would be well worth your time.
