The first in a seven DVD series, BASIC/FEAR GOD 1 addresses how that fear of God, which is undeniable, can lead to life. To understand the relationship between God and man, we turn to those who have directly interacted with Him in the Bible. In each case, they are met with fear. Not respect, reverence or courage, but sheer speechlessness, humility, and complete surrender. They are overcome with pure fear and many of them cry out to be destroyed. Most people today have lost this fear. We must understand that a true fear of God leads to the keeping of His commandments, leads to life, and is the beginning of wisdom. Everyone who has come face-to-face with God falls over in fear. Do you think youd do anything different? Then act like it.

The Christian life was meant to be a journey, not a routine.

BASIC is a seven-part short film series from the creators of NOOMA featuring Francis Chan inviting us to reclaim the simple, full, and beautiful journey that our lives are intended to be.

The first three BASIC films begin at the most fundamental level asking, "Who is God?" Francis addresses, reveals, and reinforces a foundational framework to better understand the complex truths of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Films four through seven focus on "The Practices of the Church," and by living these out, we are the Church.

We're all looking for a solid foundation - something we can build our lives around. We crave a profound assurance that God, His ways, and His Word will carry us through - leading to basic conclusions to complex questions we wrestle with.
