ABOUT THE ARCHERS

We're a husband and wife filmmaking team and founders of the filmmaking ministry, Fearless FeaturesWith over 30 years of combined production experience we are on a mission to share hope in Christ around the world through feature films, documentaries, podcasting, books and more.

We're sinners saved by grace, and we believe stories change stories. The Lord has uniquely equipped and called us to share the redeeming power of Christ, together, with the gifts and talents he's given us as story tellers.

 

We believe in three fundamental pillars: educate, motivate, and inspire. We strive to educate our community on important issues, motivate individuals to take positive action in their lives, and inspire people to make a difference in the world. With these guiding principles, we hope to create a better future for generations to come.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

The Triune God

 

Scripture

 

Origins and History

  • The account of origins presented in Genesis 1–11 is a simple but factual presentation of actual events, and therefore, provides a reliable framework for scientific research into the question of the origin and history of life, mankind, the earth, and the universe. 

  • The various original life forms (kinds), including mankind, were made by direct, supernatural, creative acts of God (i.e., not by natural, physical processes over millions of years). The living descendants of any of the original kinds (apart from man) may represent more than one species today, reflecting the genetic potential within each original kind. Only limited biological changes (including mutational deterioration) have occurred naturally within each kind since creation (i.e., one kind does not change over time into a different kind: Genesis 1:11–121:211:24–2530:37–421 Corinthians 15:39).

  • The great flood of Genesis was an actual historic event, worldwide (global) in its extent and catastrophic in its effects. At one stage during the flood, the waters covered the entire surface of the whole globe with no land surface being exposed anywhere—the flood of Noah is not to be understood as any form of local or regional flood. The Noachian flood was a significant geological event, and most fossiliferous sediments were deposited at that time (Genesis 7:19–202 Peter 3:5–7).

  • Scripture teaches a recent origin of man and the whole creation, with history spanning approximately 4,000 years from creation to Christ.

  • The days in Genesis do not correspond to geologic ages but are six consecutive, 24-hour days of creation; the first day began in Genesis 1:1, and the seventh day, which was also a normal 24-hour day, ended in Genesis 2:3 (Genesis 1:1–2:3Exodus 20:8–1131:17Hebrews 4:3–4).

  • The gap theoryprogressive creationday-ageframework hypothesis, theistic evolution (i.e., evolutionary creation), functionality–cosmic temple, analogical days, day-gap-day, and any other views that try to fit evolution or millions of years into Genesis are incompatible with Scripture.

  • The view, commonly used to evade the implications or the authority of biblical teaching, namely that knowledge and/or truth may be divided into secular and religious, is unbiblical and therefore should be rejected (1 Corinthians 10:31Colossians 3:17; for more information, see here).

  • No apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field of study, including science, history, and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture obtained by historical-grammatical interpretation. Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information (Numbers 23:192 Samuel 22:31Psalm 18:30Isaiah 46:9–1055:9Romans 3:42 Timothy 3:16).

 

Man

  • Mankind, consisting of two genders (male and female), is created in the image of God. Each of these two distinct, complementary genders reflects the image of God (Genesis 1:26–275:29:6Matthew 19:4–6Mark 10:61 Corinthians 11:7James 3:9–10).

  • The special and unique creation of Adam from dust and Eve from Adam’s rib was supernatural and immediate. Adam and Eve did not originate from any other preexisting lifeforms (Genesis 2:72:21–233:191 Corinthians 11:8–1215:47–49).

  • All human life is sacred and begins at conception (defined as the moment of fertilization). Each unborn child is a unique, living human being, created in the image of God, and must be respected and protected both before and after birth. The abortion of an unborn child or the active, intentional taking of human life through euthanasia or assisted suicide constitutes a violation of the sanctity of human life and is a crime against God and man (Genesis 9:6Exodus 20:13Deuteronomy 5:17Psalm 51:51 Corinthians 15:49James 2:11).

  • There is only one race of mankind—the human race or Adam’s race. Adam and Eve were the first two humans. All people alive today are the descendants of Adam and Eve and subsequently Noah (Genesis 1:26–273:2010:110:321 Corinthians 15:45–47Luke 17:27Hebrews 11:71 Peter 3:202 Peter 2:5).

  • Since all humans are made in the image of God, all humans have equal dignity and value regardless of age (including the unborn), intelligence, gender, physical ability, shade of skin tone, religion, ethnicity, or any other characteristic (Genesis 1:26–273:2011:9Acts 17:26–28).

  • The concepts of “social justice,” “intersectionality,” and “critical race theory” are anti-biblical and destructive to human flourishing (Ezekiel 18:1–20James 2:8–9).

  • Parents are responsible to instruct their children in Christian faith and conduct, to set before them godly and consistent examples of the same, and in every way to “bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:6–9Proverbs 22:6Ephesians 6:4).

  • The only legitimate marriage, based on the creation ordinance in Genesis 1 and 2, sanctioned by God is the joining of one naturally born man and one naturally born woman in a single, exclusive union as delineated in Scripture. God intends sexual intimacy to only occur between a man and a woman who are married to each other and has commanded that no sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman. Any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography, abuse, or any attempt to change one’s gender, or disagreement with one’s biological gender, is sinful and offensive to God (Genesis 1:27–282:24Matthew 5:27–3019:4-5Mark 10:2–91 Corinthians 6:9–111 Thessalonians 4:3–7Hebrews 13:4).

  • Gender and biological sex are equivalent and cannot be separated. A person’s gender is determined at conception (fertilization), coded in the DNA, and cannot be changed by drugs, hormones, or surgery. Rejection of one’s biological sex (gender) or identifying oneself by the opposite sex is a sinful rejection of the way God made that person. These truths must be communicated with compassion, love, kindness, and respect, pointing everyone to the truth that God offers redemption and restoration to all who confess and forsake their sin, seeking his mercy and forgiveness through Jesus Christ (Genesis 1:26–285:1–2Psalm 51:5139:13–16Jeremiah 1:5Matthew 1:20–2119:4–6Mark 10:6Luke 1:31Acts 3:19–21Romans 10:9–101 Corinthians 6:9–11Galatians 3:28).
