Created for use within classrooms and broadcast on TrueTube, this short animation was created to inspire personal reflection on where faith comes from, how it is influenced by the communities around us and if it is OK to question what you believe.  

As Luke’s Baptism approaches, he finds himself grappling with questions about his faith in Christianity, a central part of his identity that has always provided him with a sense of purpose and belonging. Through a series of reflective moments and poignant scenes, the film explores Luke’s internal struggle as he begins to question the beliefs he once held so strongly.  

The story delves into the complexities of faith, doubt, and personal growth, shedding light on the pressures Luke faces from both external expectations and his own evolving understanding of spirituality. As he navigates these challenging questions, Luke must come to terms with the shifting nature of his beliefs and their place in his life. Will he rediscover his faith, or will this journey lead him to redefine what faith means to him?
