Have you ever wished life came with a recipe; a foolproof path forward? But what if the secret to a fulfilling life isn't about following a recipe at all?

"Season to Taste", explores the moments of disorientation we all face when life throws us a curveball or our expectations fall flat. It challenges the idea that there's a single, perfect recipe for happiness.

In the end, maybe we don’t make a good life by following a step-by-step recipe, but perhaps by making something with the ingredients God has given us and seasoning to taste.

At some point, many of us will encounter what the poets and philosophers call the “dark night of the soul.” These seasons can be lonely and disorienting, and they can also change us. Like a photographer who snaps a photo on a mountainside but then labors in the isolation of a darkroom to bring something beautiful into fruition, some of the best work of living happens in the darkest seasons.

On the night Jesus was born there was no room for him anywhere in the town of Bethlehem apart from a lowly stable. Both then and now, the palaces, politics, and other venerated places of our world have little room for Jesus. But the real question we must consider is this: Do we have room for him?

Theo wants nothing more than to get home to his family to celebrate Christmas among the people and traditions he loves, but when his bus breaks down late on Christmas Eve he realizes that this holiday won’t look anything like the one he planned. Here and Everywhere encourages us to be a part of bringing our hopes to the here and now, looking not just toward a destination, but embracing the journey, surprises, and people who travel this life alongside us.

When Tracy first sat down at the piano he knew he was home. But as his actual home filled with conflict, Tracy found himself trying to live between two very different worlds: the church and the chaotic streets of Chicago’s south side.

When his choices started leading to real trouble, Tracy found himself reaching for the things that stayed steady and learning that it’s often when life spins out of control that we can finally see the things holding it all together.

The Piano is a powerful short film and free video that can be used and shared in the church, classroom, and anywhere else to contribute to worship, work, and life.

A film that asks, in a world that offers both joy and sorrow, how do we live with an expectation that when it comes to the goodness of God… there’s more where that came from?
