After launching Cancer Companions in 2011 founder Karen Tripp saw a gaping hole in their resource package.
These videos were created to fill a gap in pastoral care resources.
Many of the church volunteers leading groups with Cancer Companion’s Seeing God in Your Cancer Journey Bible study were struggling to have deeper levels of interactions with the cancer patients and caregivers. Unlike traditional Bible study groups, pastoral care study participants often come with thick barriers to protect themselves from sharing or even acknowledging the level of stress they are carrying.
Karen wanted to create a dramatized video which led participants to think “that sounds like me” or “that does not sound like me.” The result is a space where participants feel accepted and heard.
Created in a way only a Christian Counselor could devise.
To create this video, Tripp recorded eight interviews with cancer patients/caregivers. Combining story elements, she created 3 roles which the video series tracks from diagnosis and on through treatment. The power of the script is Tripp’s use of specific quotes from the interview transcripts to add the raw honesty which comes from those in their battle with cancer. Repeatedly, participants are surprised to learn that the people in the videos are actors and not cancer patients/caregivers.
