“As a teaching pastor and a dad, I've been thrilled with Modern Parables. The films capture both the essence AND the impact of Jesus' parables. Their modern storytelling has helped me re-engage adults who've heard the parables before, as well as make the stories come alive at home with my three children. With great films, outstanding support material, and theological depth - these guys have hit a home run!" - Pastor, Trinity Evangelical Presbyterian Church

“Modern Parables has been an awesome instructional tool for our young people. They're very high quality movies and really bring the story alive for the kids. I love a youth study that involves substance over entertainment -- but Modern Parables manages to provide both. I would highly recommend this series and am looking forward to future parables!” - Youth Leader, Southfield Christian Fellowship

“An 80 year old member of my congregation who attends church and bible study every week said, "I've never understood that parable until now." That's a big deal!” - Pastor, First Presbyterian Church

“Realworld parable, where the critical 'Christ moment' in the parable is made to stand out in the film. I found it easy to speak after the films because you've made the exegesis visible in the films.” - Pastor, Canada Water Church, London, England

"The excellence with which the films were done, the accuracy of the film to the text, and the emotional connection with how 1st-century hearers would have felt are the three big benefits of this study. This series is a great way to show the undeniable relevance of the Bible to the video culture we live in today.” - Singles Pastor, Denton Bible Church

“Quality work. Professionally done. Biblically relevant. Easy to use. Mahalo!” - Pastor, Aiea United Methodist Church

“The course brought out some very modern day applications to the parables. Some were humorous and others very serious, but in the end all were thought provoking. This study was good for the group and time we had to share.” - Teacher, Sheraton Park Free Will Baptist Church

“My wife and I sat down last night and were so moved (some of them brought both of us to tears) and affected by these parables - they are just excellent. I usually do not purchase video resources because all of them are either: cheesy, stupid, poorly made or just plain boring. Every one of these "modern parables" defy all of these categories. PLEASE make more of these! - Pastor, ChristChurch Presbyterian

“I liked the fact that the stories were about present day life. Thought it was easier for the students to relate to. The especially liked the Prodigal Sons and Samaritan, and Hidden Treasure.” - Lay Leader, St. Leo Parish Roman Catholic

“Modern Parables is a very biblical use of modern forms of media to convey the truth of Scripture in a way which captivates the mind and the heart of the viewer/student.” - Pastor, Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church

“The teaching accompanying material is better than anything else out there in my opinion. I think it's pretty awesome. The music in the prodigal sons and a couple others was great. Adding the emotion to some of these stories I think is what triggers the personal reflection and really puts you in the story.” - Pastor, The Well

“Quality and the application captured the heart of the Biblical text in our world. For example- an Arab or man of Middle Eastern background as the Samaritan was perfect!” - Pastor, First Baptist Church

"It is really a great way to make the parables come alive. Specially because the stories are so true to the Word and there are many details in the movie that showed us something of the deep meaning hidden in the parable." - Church group leader, Dutch reformed church, Vinkeveen, Netherlands

“The Modern Parables studies give a new perspective by seeing them in a modern day setting. They help the student to be able to apply the concepts to their daily lives and understand Jesus' teachings much better.” - Teacher, First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ

“I love the wealth of information available to the teacher. I actually have enjoyed preparing!” - Pastor, Richland Church, Wesleyan

“Our young adult Sunday School class engaged in a nine week study of the parables of Jesus. Modern Parables was extremely helpful in causing the parables to come to life as they presented real, modern day examples of Jesus’ teachings. I highly recommend this challenging series to any group who wishes to gain a more contemporary understanding of these teachings." - Sunday School Teacher, First Baptist Church Nashville

"We were overwhelmed with the professionalism of the DVD. Not only was it of "Hollywood quality"; more importantly it presented in a very modern style the clear gospel message in a manner that it can be easily understood by children through senior adults. It is a MUST teaching program for every church to have available for its members." - - Small Group Leader, First United Methodist

“Amazing detail and trueness of the modern parable to the scripture. I think that this is to me personally is the thing that really has me excited about the whole project. You have demonstrated a means of effective teaching to the modern man.” - Small Group Leader, Fellowship Bible Church North

“Excellent series and well worth the time. They were short and concise and left you wondering what you would do if the situation arose.” - Pastor, Marcellus United Methodist Church

“Our church benefited enormously from watching the short films that Modern Parables have produced. Each one wonderfully opened up the parable that it treated and gave us a fresh, "modern" way to engage Jesus' point in a powerful and compelling manner. They are just really, really good. We found ourselves delighting to grasp the truths of the kingdom in fresh and surprising ways, even as the crowds who first heard Jesus understood that he was teaching of the kingdom in fresh and surprising ways.” - Pastor, Cornerstone Presbyterian Church
