Description

What is your lens?

How do you view the world around you?

This video explores the complex and incredible workings of the human eye. It proposes that as each of us sees the world through our own unique lenses, we too, view reality through our own unique perspectives.

It poses questions:

Can the lens in which we are viewing life through obscure what we are actually seeing?

How do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?

It concludes that when we search for truth – we need to keep 'our lens' in mind and take account for our biases.

Possible Discussion Questions

  • Think about some of your friends or work colleagues, what lenses do you think they view the world through?
  • How does knowing Jesus transform the way in which you view the world?
