RIPTIDE

Can the baby boomers, Generation X and the millennials all see a tide of evangelism that could eclipse the Jesus Movement? Could the next wave be the last one?

Host Skip Heitzig takes you on a journey that reviews the wild ride of the Jesus Movement days, then surveys how far and wide this movement reached around the world.

Riptide uses the growth and impact of Calvary Chapel to examine the impact today of the 60’s and 70’s evangelism explosion.

In-depth interviews with Chuck Smith, Greg Laurie, Mike Macintosh and many others shows the amazing effect men like this are having now. Some of these were misfits who became ministers and now lead some of the largest and most aggressive churches in America.

Finally, Riptide examines the challenges that face the church today as it seeks to avoid the "old wineskin syndrome," that has plagued many dynamic movements in the past.

Shot on location in India, Austria, Israel, England and across the United States, Riptide offers insights and observations from leaders in every spectrum of the church. Riptide features a dramatic re-enactment of Mike Macintosh's radical conversion, directed by Daniel Lusko (Epicenter, Inside the Revolution). Riptide music is from Dominic Bali, Ives, Sarah Kelly, Crystal Lewis and an original score by Chris Ridenhour. Produced by Solomon Productions, Riptide is shot in HD,and is a full-length documentary with hours of exclusive special feature interviews.
