We have names for His power.
Names for His authority.
Names for His holiness.
But the name the world is starving for is
Father
THE FORGOTTEN FATHER - AN ADAM COMPANION STUDY
An Invitation to Share What You Know of the Father
Before Adam was the father of humanity, he was someone's son.
ADAM is a live-action feature film in development, exploring Genesis through the extraordinary relationship between humanity's first son and the Father who raised him.
A film can tell a story. But some of the most important questions it raises deserve a conversation that continues long after the credits roll.
The Forgotten Father is a companion guide releasing alongside ADAM, created to explore the questions the film raises about the heart of God as Father.
We’re inviting you to help shape that conversation—through discussions leading up to the film’s release, contributions to the guide and media shared while it’s in theaters, and a community we’re building to carry the conversation forward long afterward.
None of us has the complete revelation of God's heart as Father. We all know in part.
We'd love to hear the part you've come to know.
Would you be open to a 20-minute conversation? We'll send questions beforehand, and you're welcome to choose what matters most to you.
We're not asking for your endorsement of the film or its creative interpretations. Your perspective remains your own, and nothing you share will be published without your approval.

The Questions
- —Take me back to a time before you came to know God as your Father. Who did you believe He was, and how did you imagine He saw you?
- —Can you take me into a moment or season of your life when that picture of God began to change? What happened, and what did you begin to discover about Him?
- —As you began to discover God as your Father, was there something about His heart that surprised you, challenged what you believed, or changed the way you understood His love?
- —As you look back on that journey, can you share a moment when you realized that knowing God as Father had actually changed the way you lived, saw yourself, or loved others?
- —Has there been something in your journey with God that, despite your prayers, searching, and desire to understand, has remained a mystery? What has that experience taught you about trusting a Father whose ways you don’t always understand?
