"The Soul Stirrers short films are fun and engaging, culturally-relevant, and prompt the Viewer to ask big questions of life and faith. Relevant for use across all generations, this is a timely tool for leaders and small groups, to generate lifegiving, intentional conversations, and to engage those who are spiritually curious in their journey towards Jesus."

The Soul Stirrers videos are an excellent resource to get students thinking in the classroom. These short, accessible clips are great for generating discussions, as well as offering an opportunity to see beyond the secular, materialist worldview, by gently nudging viewers to think more deeply. I hope Soul Stirrers produce many more videos that could be used in classrooms across the country.

For churches looking to engage individuals completely outside the church, The Stir Course is a highly effective, low-prep faith exploration course. Positioned perfectly as a "pre-Alpha" outreach tool, it is specifically designed to help your church overcome the relevancy barrier when trying to connect with those who are spiritually open, or those living in a secular, spiritually indifferent culture.
Unlike traditional courses that require a baseline of biblical knowledge, this small group video series prioritises lived experience over dense theology. It creates an accessible, level playing field where leaders can easily get faith conversations started with the spiritually curious. It serves as the ideal cultural stepping stone in your evangelism strategy, creating a safe space for participants to ask big questions about life and God before moving them seamlessly into deeper discipleship programmes.
Sharing the gospel in schools requires capturing short attention spans quickly and engaging students who are largely secular or indifferent to faith. Instead of using high-pressure public invitations, the most effective approach is to invite students to freely explore spirituality and the Christian faith. This respectful method also beautifully supports the school’s own goals for religious education and personal development.
The ideal tool for this is short, sharp video content. The Christian charity Start to Stir has created Soul Stirrers—a free series of 15 videos on YouTube designed exactly for these environments. Each low-prep video lasts under five minutes and includes one or two tailored discussion questions to effortlessly spark curiosity and meaningful conversation.

Soul Stirrers are designed for anyone who wants to create opportunities for spiritual conversations, particularly youth workers, Christian Union leaders, teachers, church leaders and people involved in outreach. They can be used with young people and adults in Christian Unions, clubs, cafés, schools, small groups and everyday friendships.
Yes. Soul Stirrers are specifically designed for people who may have little or no Christian or religious background. The videos don't assume that viewers already believe in God or understand Christian language. Instead, they begin with accessible questions about things such as spirituality, connection, suffering, prayer and worship, creating an opportunity for people to explore their own thoughts and beliefs.
Many evangelism resources focus on helping Christians explain the gospel clearly. Soul Stirrers begin further back in the journey. They are designed for situations where people may not yet be interested in Christianity or asking questions about God. By starting with accessible questions about life, spirituality and human experience, Soul Stirrers help create the curiosity and conversation that can open a door to the gospel.
