The situation

Passages is the next-generation ministry of Dr. David Jeremiah’s Turning Point Ministries: honest conversations, Scripture, and a new audience.

The brand had to carry each conversation into the rest of the week, and give the team one shared system.

The idea

Hear. Wrestle. Practice. Return.

Every piece of content has a job in one of four phases. Color marks the phase.

My role

Who made what.

Made by me
