“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that,” said Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   I do not really know how to write about a subject like this. I feel emotionally overwhelmed and severely unqualified. Yet, the makers of the new documentary, “Emanuel,” manage to not only talk about the tragic Charleston church shooting but to also show the reality of the event in a historical context while telling the personal stories of both the victims and the survivors. On June 17th, 2015, the city of Charleston […]

Ahhhh! The Lenten season is upon us — filled with opportunities to introduce the unbeliever to Christ and renew our own faith through a myriad of media programming on the life, death and resurrection of Our Lord and Savior. There is something powerful in sharing the Gospel (aka ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’) visually, depicting Jesus’ teachings, sacrifice and triumph for us 21st century spectators. But what if we could see Jesus Christ through the eyes of those who knew Him the most? Who loved Him? Who despised Him? Premiering Monday, March 25th at 8pm ET/PT the History Channel will […]

Abby Johnson was still in college when she first encountered Planned Parenthood at an on-campus information booth. A representative for the abortion provider told her it existed to help women — and Abby was sold. She didn’t know at the time the organization was the nation’s leading abortion provider. In short order, Abby began volunteering in 2001 at a Planned Parenthood facility in Bryan, Texas. One of her first responsibilities was to escort women coming for an abortion. She often encountered individuals from the 40 Days for Life outreach. They stood in front of the abortion facility, praying and offering […]

These films touch the unchurched and also inspire believers.

From Executive Producers Tim Tebow (yes, that Tim Tebow) and Robby Tebow comes the new faith-based film “Run the Race.” Premiering this February, “Run the Race” is a movie that aims to show, not just tell, the real-world, lived-out truthfulness of Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Nothing cliché here; no waxing poetic or sputtering pithy bumper sticker proverbs. When dealing with the topic of suffering, “Run the Race” is more content to simply sit in the […]

An unbelievable display of love, “The Least of These” captures the missionary journey of the late Graham Staines, an Australian missionary, whose incessant dedication to the lepers of India attracted speculative media investigation, leading to his martyrdom in 1999.
