In today’s anti-Christian culture, how can churches, ministries, and all of us communicate effectively with people who would rather not listen to what we have to say? What strategies can we employ to help people engage the biblical worldview? Our featured guest, Samuel Felix, is a long-time friend and Kingdomizer who works professionally as a digital artist and communication specialist. Samuel has a unique gift for helping people to reflect deeply and understand complex ideas. His goal is to turn passive consumers into active thinkers who take their assumptions and worldviews seriously.
Special Guest
Samuel Felix is a motion designer and creative communications director from Brazil. Felix and his wife Carolina have four children. Hearing Darrow Miller speak at a ministry program in Australia was a turning point in his life. Samuel has been involved in the creative industry for the last decade, developing design concepts and animated graphics to tell stories, explain an idea, or sell a product.
When asked to share about a “cultural lie” that he has seen in the creative industry, he responded by saying that some believe “beauty is a matter of personal taste or preference. I say that God is beauty, and we can see it clearly in His creation; so if we want to create beautiful designs with good purpose, we should aim for the Grand Designer as a reference.”

Quotes
We are not what we absorb from culture or our environment – we are who God says we are. We are His image; we are co-creators with God. We just don’t accept how things are. We can come up with ideas – we can suggest new things. – Samuel Felix
The lie that resources are fixed, limited, and people have no access to them is one of the biggest cultural lies that DNA has faced around the world. It holds so many people back. At the end of the day, it’s the mind, ideas, imagination and work that is the source of resources. That’s such a liberating truth for people. – Scott Allen
