What is RightNow Media?
RightNow Media is a library of over 20,000 titles that include bible studies, videos, creative projects and more.

Each sermon series, we provide some direction on what may work best in your group! Click the image below to access the resources we’ve curated!
When we launched RightNow Media, we developed a special resource unique to Vineyard Columbus. The project is called Vineyard Labs: Holy Spirit and is available exclusively on RightNow Media. We want to help everyone who is a part of Vineyard Columbus learn to hear God’s voice and practice praying for others in small groups!

How do I navigate RightNow Media?
Whether you’re on your phone, tablet, computer or TV, RightNow Media has two major sections. The first is the Browse section in the top left. This is where content is stored across the entire platform.
However, we recommend navigating to the second section curated by us at Vineyard Columbus. On Mobile, this will be in the menu (see below).
On a tablet, computer or your TV, this may appear in the top right as the Vineyard Columbus Logo (below).
Lastly, we may assign content from time to time that will be in your inbox (below):
How do I know what content to use for my group?
We’ve made the entire RightNow Media library free for every person who is a part of Vineyard Columbus. Our preference is that people engage with this tool in community among the other ways you lead your group (like studying the bible, worshiping together and engaging in missions). However you choose to use RightNow Media, the bottom line is this: people look to you as a guide. RightNow Media has over 20,000 titles ranging from kids material to marriage to the integration of faith and work.
Our encouragement to you, as a leader, is to chew up the fish and spit out the bones. Instead of relying on us (the church) to screen and limit the menu of options, we desire for you to lead by modeling discernment. Not everything available in the world to eat is good for your health! God wants us to discerning people who can intuit our way through the world in wisdom.
As your church home, we commit directing you and providing guidance as best as we can with the content we recommend. We are committed to being people who hold tensions with our Christian brothers and sisters. We will not depart from our distinctives of being Jesus centered, scripture based, spirit empowered, culturally diverse, and socially engaged. But at the same time, we know not every content creator on RightNow Media shares our commitments to Kingdom theology, women in leadership, mercy & justice and a host of other things we hold near and dear in the Vineyard Movement.
Why partner with RightNow Media?
While we’ve done a lot of great work to create our own content (such as the campaigns, leader equipping videos and even the Vineyard Labs series), we recognize that we (as Vineyard Columbus) will never be able to do everything. We desire for spiritual formation to fit your actual lives where you are – constraints and all. Time and capacity for change are very real constraints for most of us. As skilled as we may feel, we are convinced that Vineyard Columbus can’t produce compelling content for every sermon series, stage of life or discipleship area that you experience in your walk with Jesus.
So we’ve chosen to partner with RightNow Media not simply because they are the “Netflix of Christian Entertainment,” but because they are a library of well-produced resources that span the experience of Christians all around the world. Many of the resources being added are great not only for group settings, but also personal spiritual growth. We encourage you to see this library as a one tool among many in your formation.
