The Big Story

In 3 minutes could you share the BIG STORY - Creation / Fall / Redemption / Restoration?
The biggest shortcoming I see is written of by JD Grear - HERE -and that is, that while the major themes of the BIG STORY are presented and the approach is much more holistic than other 'presentations', it is somewhat man-centered rather than God centered. While God is mentioned, the problem of sin against God is minimized. And while the approach is holistic, and restoration is presented, restoration is more than human - we are restored to a right relationship with God.
That said, a few minor tweaks and I think James Choung's presentation is pretty good.
Maybe this will be helpful to you. What do you think?

Here’s my attempt to explain the Christian faith… in three minutes. Crazy, right? InterVarsity asked me to do it, and here’s the result. I wanted to present a more holistic faith — something closer to the gospel that Jesus taught. Of course, many details will be painfully left out in such a short amount of time. So it’s not anything close to a perfect presentation. But it forced me to make it concise, so I appreciate the assignment — though I would never share it this quickly in person. James Choung
