Phillip Telfer
Family Media Track

Phillip Telfer has ministered to youth and families for over 20 years, sharing at camps, retreats, schools, conferences, and churches around the country. He is the founder and president of Media Talk 101, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching media discernment in the light of following Christ. He has also produced and co-directed the award winning documentary, Captivated, and is the founder of the Christian Worldview FilmFestival in San Antonio.


Phillip will be teaching 3 workshops on both Friday and Saturday at the CMA National Convention:
1. Media Choices: Convictions or Compromise?

Need help for living in a media saturated society? Are you concerned about the impact of video games, Facebook, YouTube, iPods, texting, television and more? Do you feel as if you are cowering like Israel before the giant Goliath who continues to mock God and taunt the nation? Have no fear, there’s help to be found in God’s Word. This workshop will teach you how you can fight the media giant in your life using Biblical principles instead of legalistic rules.


2. The Counterfeit Life: Entertainment’s Deceptive Messages about Life to the Fullest

Today’s entertainment has become one of the biggest stumbling blocks of spiritual growth and family health in this generation. It often portrays deceptive messages about what it means to live life to the fullest. Many Christians have been careless by allowing toxic media to poison hearts and minds with wrong ideas about relationships, accomplishment, purpose, and identity. Learn about the messages prevalent in today’s media that could rob you of the real life that God wants you to have.


3. Christian Filmmaking in the Age of American Idol(atry)

We don’t think of our culture as idolatrous because we don’t see people bowing down to statues and making sacrifices and offerings to false gods. Our understanding of idolatry is too narrow and our understanding of true worship is also becoming more and more confused. The Bible teaches that God’s Spirit was at work in Bezalel’s artistry and craftsmanship during the construction of the tabernacle for the purpose of worshipping God and giving Him glory. We also read about others who used their craftsmanship to build idols and gain fame for themselves. The Christian filmmaker is at a crossroad and must choose how they will use their gifts and abilities. This seminar explores the Biblical worldview of artisans and craftsman and how it applies to filmmaking.
