Media and Film Creation as Mission | Digital Discipleship Panel

What happens when storytelling, translation, and digital media become tools for global mission?

In this conversation, Stan Jantz (Global Ambassador, Come and See Foundation), Miheret Tilahun Eshete (Director of Digital Strategies, Jesus Film Project), and Lucas Pegoraro (Coordinator, BibleProject Portuguese) explore how media can help more people encounter Jesus and go deeper in Scripture.

From The Chosen and Jesus Film to BibleProject’s localized resources, this panel reflects on the power of beauty, imagination, and heart-language media to support evangelism and discipleship. The conversation also explores excellence, co-creation, and how Christians can faithfully use digital platforms to share the greatest story with a generation shaped by screens.

This panel is part of a series of digital panels on discipleship in the digital age, exploring how emerging technologies are shaping the future of mission.
