Product Description

Every Christian should see through their eyes.

The church is at war over homosexuality. Will our youth be the casualties?

Through My Eyes provides an unflinchingly honest look at the role of today's young Christians in the gay debate: what they really think, how they perceive the church, and what they wish other Christians knew.

Over two dozen young Christians agreed to share their private feelings, struggles, and experiences on camera. All of them have a personal stake in the debate. And all of them hoped that their stories might make a difference.

Created for Christians by Christians, Through My Eyes tackles one of the most controversial topics today with compassion and sensitivity, shining new light on the debate for people on both sides. It's unlike anything you've seen before.

It's a powerful, eye-opening experience you won't soon forget.


Also includes booklet, 4 simple ways to change someone's life, and a special on-disc "discussion version" for classes and groups.

Fruit for Dialog
"Through My Eyes" is a must-see for all Christians who are serious about living out the Gospel as it paves the way for reflective dialog among those who are seeking to put into practice Christ's message to "love one another as I have loved you." In this DVD, over two dozen Christians in their teens and twenties share their stories of what it means to be created in the image and likeness of God, who happen to have been born gay, and who long above all else to worship God with their entire being and desire that His holy and perfect will be done in their lives.

Not just a message for Christian communities who want to understand more of what it means to be Christian and gay, "Through My Eyes" is a testimony of the lives that Christ has changed through His love. This video will enhance every church's library as it provides fruit for discussion among Sunday school classes, youth and adult ministries, and other groups searching for what it means to love without condition.

As a Christian who has struggled with being gay my entire life, this video has provided me with the voice(s) to share my faith with friends and family. Like these ladies and gentlemen in the video, I didn't know how to reconcile being Christian and gay--mainly because I thought I was the only one. I felt that I had to fix who I was by continually praying for God to change me. I no longer feel that there is something that needs to be "fixed" because I now know nothing was broken in the first place; I was created in a manner exactly as God intended me to be. I now realize that I'm not alone: that there are others who are gay and have committed their lives to following the voice of the Good Shepherd by living out His message in our daily lives.

A revealing truth...
Through My Eyes is the first documentary I've seen that's only agenda is to ask people to listen. There are no "this is what you should think" or "these people are wrong/right because..." statements. It's just young Christians, who happen to be glbt, sharing their stories. A must see for any Christian!

Through My Eyes

No narrative, No spin
What's phenomenal about this documentary is that there is no narrator providing any kind of structure or background to it. The people being interviewed simply speak from their experience -- their fears, their horror, their joys and their experiences good and bad. And yet, it flows well together as a kind of tapestry of lives and held my attention throughout.

For Christians who are really interested in understanding what it's like to be a Christian (coming from a Christian home, growing up in church and all that) and realizing that you're gay, this is for you.
