Why are we here? Why does anything exist? Does God exist? These are some big questions. These questions and many more are tackled in The Search on formed.org. At the beginning the pandemic I reviewed Episode 1 of The Search. I’m back to review Episodes 2 & 3. You don’t want to miss this review or this incredible study. (SERIOUSLY, just go watch Episode 3 right now. Worth it.)

Title
The Search
https://watch.formed.org/the-search

Presenter

Chris Stefanick is an engaging presenter who gets to the heart of things with his presenting style which seems natural and authentic. 

Length 

Seven episodes each one about 30 minutes long give or take. 

Style of Content

• While presented and narrated by Chris Stefanick, vivid video and images are cut with intelligent and insightful commentary of experts in fields of psychology, philosophy and theology. 
• TBH - The video is gorgeous and the presentation very professional and current. If it wasn’t on formed.org you’d think it was put together by a secular studio. Awesome looking. 

Content

Episode 2 - This episode of The Search begins with the vastness of creation and ends with the even larger reality of our interior life. The case is made using science and rational to demonstrate that we are more than a collect of cells. The main take away is that each of us is a beautiful miracle. 

Episode 3 - WOW. Power packed episode about the existence of God. Tackles the false dichotomy between Science and Religion. Did you know that Vatican run observatories since the 16th century? I didn’t either. If you only watch 1 episode of The Search, watch Episode 3. 

Why you should watch these videos

If you are looking to contemplate the big questions of life, then these videos are for you. If you want to think about why you are here and why believe in God, then you should check out these vides. 

Why skip it

If you are looking for in depth biblical exegetical study, these videos aren’t for you.
