New Year, New Breath!
<p>The Universe began when God the Creator of everything said, “Let there be light.” As the wonder of the world came to life with all its intricate beauty, the most miraculous moment had yet to become reality.</p><p>In this must-see clip, Jen Ledger of Skillet explains the glory at work in God’s hands as Sculptor. “I love how God is described as a sculptor, a Creator, He wants us to see how glorious He is but also just how creative He is.”</p><p>As remarkable as the Universe is, the thing that should bring us the most amazement and wonder, is the idea that God has made us in His image.</p><p>The Biblical text uses three Hebrew words for God bringing into existence human beings. He made us. He created us. And then the author of Genesis uses the word Yawtsar in the Hebrew which is a combination of make and create, making the point that the physical bodies that we have have are not brand new. Other animals have physical bodies but there’s something about us that is brand new that never existed before.</p><p>The word Yawtsar literally means, ‘through the squeezing into shape, to mold into a form, especially as a Potter.’ The author is describing how God - the Father of Adam - formed His son and shaped his being by kneading him together with raw materials, literally the dust of the Earth, as a potter or a sculptor works with clay.</p><p>Yahweh was Adam’s actual father as we see in the genealogy from Luke 3. “The son of Seth, the son of Adam, the Son of God.” </p><p>God gives him the name Adam which sounds like the Hebrew word Adamah meaning dirt. Inside His garden studio, Yahweh is found at the height of creative expression, sculpting his Masterpiece. </p><p>“Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living being.”</p><p>God created Adam in such an intimate and personal way to show us that He has made each of us in an intimate and personal way. He’s knit us together in our mother’s womb and he knows us intimately. He longs for friendship and relationship with us, as a Father to a son.</p><p>I hope you enjoy Breath of Life as you start the new year. You can stream the full 4-part series exclusively on UnveilTV.

The Nine Day Journey to Babylon
<p><p><strong>In the coming weeks, I will be sharing and unpacking and meditating over new revelations from inspiring women in Scripture. If you missed last weeks post, I had a lot of feedback and personal emails about Sarah, the first chapter entry in the new book, Volume 2 of </strong><strong>The God Who Hides</strong><strong>. You can read it first by clicking below.</strong></p></p><p><p><strong>In the meantime, you’ll thank me later for this post, because when you invest in DANIEL, you not only get your name in the credits of the must-see Bible movie of 2026. You also support my brothers and I as we forge ahead with our most audacious project yet, with our eyes on millions impacted, and millions in box office.</strong></p></p><p>This will be our first movie seen North-America wide, on the BIG SCREEN. And you can be a key reason why it all happened. You will have a huge smile on your face when you watch the film in theaters, or pause the stream on Netflix or Amazon to point out your name in the credits to a relative or friend.</p><p><strong>But don’t take our word for it. The last 3 Bible releases either trended Top 3 on Amazon Prime, or top three in theaters nationwide…or BOTH! The appetite for Biblical cinema has never been bigger, and we are perfectly timed for the early 2026 release of this epic and timeless story about four young men who </strong><strong>stood for the Truth.</strong> </p><p>Did I mention that our conversations with Key Cast for the movie are on fire? You will probably do three backflips when you hear the actors we are negotiating final terms with. The names of the full cast on Daniel are hotter than the fiery furnace.</p><p><strong>But none of the above means as much as the key point. A faithful adaptation of Holy Scripture does what all the apostles and prophets ultimately admonished us to do as followers of Christ. THE FILM WILL GLORIFY GOD! And on Easter Monday, there are few things more exciting than the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy that honors the Lord and leads audiences to God, and into a deeper dive in Holy Scripture.</strong></p><p><p><strong>We are privileged to be in the cross-section of faith, Scripture and modern media. Going back to the ancient paths, featuring the timeless true story of Daniel’s faith, is sure to challenge, uplift and inspire.</strong></p></p><p>Will you join us?</p><p>If you are in BC, AB or ON, just respond to this email, or direct your inquiry about investment to productions@unveilstudios.com (because the crowdfund portal doesn’t work online from those 3 locations).</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://danielthemovie.com">For everyone else, you have 9 days left to invest through our Registered Crowdfund here.</a> We just flew passed $727,000 raised, and we can’t reach our stretch goal without YOU. </p><p><strong>All glory to God, this is one of the most successful faith film crowdfunds of all time.</strong> </p><p>And when we get to $745K on the raise (18K away) we get a HUGE BOOST through a marketing push by the crowdfund site. In other words, your impact will be magnified even further right now, due to the heights we’ve risen during this campaign. </p><p>It’s a story of faith, and when we add our faith to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah’s, we reach more people with the good news, that a God once hidden is clearly revealed, even tangibly visible, to those who believe.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://danielthemovie.com"><strong>Thank you for praying and partnering with this timeless film. The best is yet to come!</strong></a></p><p>HAPPY EASTER. Our Savior has conquered our two greatest foes: sin and death.</p><p>Keep Breathing,Daniel Kooman</p><p><strong>PS Share the new teaser trailer on this post with a family member or friend, and help us reach a wider audience!
