When we think of faith-based filmmaking, we often think about the content of a film and rarely stop to question the process behind making one. My name is Christopher Schunk, I am a graduate of Calvary Christian Academy’s (CCA) class of 2017, and I am in my final semester of film school at Biola University, a small Christian university in Southern California. God called me to pursue filmmaking around the beginning of my high school career at CCA. I accidentally took a film class due to the cancellation of another class, and I can only say this was the hand […]

Leave a comment below on cancel culture. Madness is sweeping across our country.  I am referring to the ever-widening spread of what has been dubbed cancel culture, the suppression and intolerance of people whose viewpoints differ from what our godless society has deemed fitting and appropriate.  Not surprisingly, the overwhelmingly left-wing cancel culture has aimed its most vicious verbal darts squarely at Christians who hold a Biblical worldview founded on the authority of God’s uncompromising Word.  Let me give you just a few examples, though there are many.  In the city of Boston, a Chick-fil-A food truck serving the campus […]

A year after stay-at-home orders shut down entire communities in an effort to stem the spread of COVID-19, churches in parts of the nation are still fighting to open. Yet Florida churches have mostly remained open, online and in person, thanks to the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis. Early on DeSantis declared “attending religious services conducted in churches, synagogues and houses of worship” as essential activity, a move that superseded county and municipal ordinances, raising the ire of some local officials. His office held state-wide Zoom calls with church leaders through his Faith and Community-based Initiative providing guidance during the […]

‘Cancel Culture’ Strikes D. James Kennedy Ministries

Lifetime TV demanded in February that D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM) eliminate all “controversial” content from Truths That Transform, its weekly half-hour Christian broadcast. Specifically, Lifetime announced it would no longer air programming that addressed abortion or Left-wing financier George Soros. And it refused to carry any DJKM programming—even broadcasts celebrating George Washington—unless the media ministry founded in 1974 agreed to Lifetime’s sweeping new conditions. “Because of Lifetime’s newfound ban on so-called ‘controversial’ content, D. James Kennedy Ministries has been forced off the cable channel—to which we have paid enormous fees since 2018 to air our program,” said Frank Wright, […]
