I help storytellers see and communicate how Scripture, culture, and human longing form one unified story pointing to Jesus — without needing more theology or story theory.
The Real Reason Your Storytelling Feels Stuck (And How to Fix It in 60 Minutes)
Most storytellers think they need more creativity, more theology, more story theory, or more training to communicate Christ clearly through story.
But the real problem isn’t your knowledge. It’s your lens.
If you can’t see Scripture, culture, and human ache as one unified story with Christ as the protagonist, your storytelling will always feel:
scattered
shallow
cliché
forced
“Christian‑ish” instead of Christ‑centered
In 60 minutes, you’ll learn to see the story God is telling, the story the church forgot, the story the enemy distorts, and the story humanity longs for, and you’ll finally be able to reveal Christ authentically through the stories you tell.

Why Storytellers Feel Stuck
You can feel the power of story. You can sense the ache in culture. You can see glimpses of Christ in narrative.
But you still feel stuck because:
you can’t name the main plot of Scripture
you can’t identify the subplots
you can’t unify Scripture, culture, and humanity
you can’t reveal Christ without sounding preachy or cliché
you can’t explain the story beneath the story
So you end up:
defaulting to “safe” stories
avoiding darkness
relying on clichés
preaching principles instead of themes
forcing Christ into scenes instead of revealing Him through story
Your storytelling feels like fragments instead of a unified narrative.
You’ve tried:
reading more Scripture
studying theology
watching more films
reading story craft books
reading worldview books
adding film examples to sermons
trying to “be more creative”
But none of it has given you:
a unified lens
a clear story structure
a way to reveal Christ through narrative
a way to interpret cultural ache
a way to name human ache
a way to disciple through story
You’re piecing together scenes instead of telling a story.
The Breakthrough
I didn’t learn this in seminary. I didn’t learn this in pastoral ministry.
I didn’t learn this from church tradition.
I learned it when everything fell apart — when ministry ended, when the cracks in the system became too big, when the only story left was the one Jesus was telling.
I went back to Scripture — not as a manual, but as a story.
I read it like a screenwriter reads a screenplay:
What’s the spine?
What’s the arc?
What’s the turning point?
What’s the ache?
What’s the resolution?
And suddenly:
Scripture made sense
Christ became clear
culture became readable
human ache became understandable
discipleship became narrative
The difference wasn’t more knowledge. It was a new lens: story. And now I help other storytllers see through the same lens.

MEET YOUR MENTOR — CYLE HARLESS
Hi, I’m Cyle.
I’ve spent 14 years in pastoral ministry — teaching, preaching, discipling, and helping Christians navigate life with clarity and compassion.
I’ve written a feature film, two short films, two TV episodes (including a pilot), six stage plays, and directed ten stage productions.
These perspectives helped me to see Scripture, culture, and human longing as one Christ‑centered narrative.
Now I help storytellers communicate Christ clearly through story — without needing more theology or story theory.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Todd Cramer
“Cinematic Scripture has quickly become my favorite podcast. Cyle has a unique gift for exploring biblical themes, cinematic techniques, and cultural narratives in film—bringing to life the rich intersection of cinema and biblical storytelling.”
Cara Dorsch
“Cinematic Scripture has brought a new sense of awareness within me for finding the ache, the arc, and the connection between Scripture and movies. I no longer watch just to watch—I watch with eagerness and readiness, almost like a challenge to discover what the story is truly about, what it’s teaching me, and how I can use it to help others understand not only where they are in life, but where they are in the big picture of salvation and relationship with Christ.”
FINAL INVITATION
Every month you fail to see how Scripture, culture, and human longing are a unified story, your storytelling loses clarity, coherence, and you end up discipling people into institutions rather than Christ.
Imagine finally seeing Scripture, culture, and human ache the way God tells it: as one unified story.
This is your chance to make it real.
Learn to see the story God is telling, the story the church forgot, the story the enemy distorts, and the story humanity longs for and able to reveal Christ authentically through the stories you tell.
Not at all.
You bring curiosity — I’ll teach you the lens.
No.
This masterclass is designed for Christians who love Scripture but want to see it as story — not as fragments, doctrines, or disconnected principles.
You’ll receive a 7‑day replay so you can watch at your own pace.
No — but it will deepen your clarity.
This masterclass helps you see Scripture the way Jesus teaches in Luke 24: as one unified story with Christ at the center.
No.
This masterclass is Christ‑centered, biblical, and narrative — not denominational.
If you teach, preach, write, create, disciple, or simply want to understand Scripture as a story — this is for you.
Yes.
You’ll learn a repeatable lens you can use for writing, preaching, teaching, filmmaking, content creation, and everyday conversations.
