Sound of Freedom is making some huge waves across our country. Tsunami-sized waves. Waves are expected to wash 40 million dollars to the American shores. Since its release by Angel Studios on July 4th, people have reacted in a variety of different ways to "Sound of Freedom" for many different reasons. Christian groups are praising it saying, “It's about time…
I went into the theatre this past weekend loaded for Bear. For two weeks prior to seeing Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny, I watched all four Indiana Jones movies to get ready for the final installment of the popular Indy franchise. Like so many people, the first Indiana Jones movie was a powerful cinematic experience for me. My…
June is known as Pride Month, so Pastor Christopher J. Weeks (and author of A Call to Nobility, Boys Will Be Men, 2085: The Rise & Fall of the Sisters), gave a message this past Sunday addressing this very delicate topic to the church; what our position should be and how we should respond as Christ followers. We are proud…
1% on Rotten Tomatoes, 1%! The new Netflix docu-drama “Queen Cleopatra” starring black actress Adele James, is not being received well, and according to Rotten Tomatoes reviews, it is being summarily rejected by 99% of the people who have watched it.

And in this case, it's the latest assault against classic literature, namely Puffin's hubris in rewriting Roald Dahl's catalog to accommodate modern sensitive readers by removing "language deemed…
Quiet desperation is how the poet Henry David Thoreau described the way most people live their lives. Instead of facing new challenges with an optimistic hope of success, many people would rather give up and hide from the world. I often feel this emptiness of soul right when I wake up in the morning, especially during the dark and cold…
I am an average American dad. I love my family, I believe in God, and I truly want peace and good relations with my neighbors. That’s it. Let me choose where I want to live, let me decide how to spend my money, let me be responsible for how I raise my kids, let me worship as I please, and…
Even though the first season is officially over, I still can’t look away! Like running to a horrific car accident that happened in front of my house, there is something spellbinding about watching the battle surrounding the Rings of Power. I am fascinated by all of the controversy swirling around the debate concerning Amazon’s billion-dollar film project. I can’t get…
