Can the baby boomers, Generation Xers and the millennial's 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 60s and 70s evangelism explosion.
In-depth interviews with Chuck Smith, Greg Laurie, Mike Macintosh and many others shows the amazing effect men like them are having now. Some of these men 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).
