Today on the show, I share my review of "Angel and the Badman," which was released by Angel Studios on October 9, 2026. This powerful redemption story features an impressive cast, including Zachary Levi, Neal McDonough, Tommy Lee Jones, and Meg Fraser. It is a remake of the 1947 film of the same name starring John Wayne. The film combines a sense of adventure with a clear message about the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. After listening, I encourage you to take your friends and family to see it in theaters. If it's no longer playing, consider streaming it. Supporting quality films like this is important, as it shows filmmakers that their efforts are appreciated.

Today on the show, I share my personal review of The Chosen Season 4, Episode 6—an episode that blends celebration, confrontation, and foreshadowing in powerful ways. I talk about Jesus and the disciples observing Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication, and I discuss Jesus’ bold declaration to the Pharisees in the temple: “I and the Father are one.” I also reflect on Judas’s growing frustration as he pushes for an earthly kingdom while Jesus continues pointing to a heavenly one, a tension that clearly hints at the betrayal still to come. I also look at the emotional turn the episode takes when Jesus and the disciples receive the heartbreaking news that Lazarus has died. We also discuss an important subplot that contains one of my favorite moments in this episode- a conversation between Thomas and Peter about loss and how God’s perspective is so much higher than ours. Their exchange adds depth to an already weighty episode and reminds us that even in grief, God is working out His perfect plan.

In this episode, I review the brand‑new film Daniel and the Fiery Furnace starring Mena Massoud, and Elijah Alexander! It releases in theaters on September 18th. This powerful movie brings to life the biblical account of Daniel and his friends—men who stood firm in faith when the world demanded compromise. Their courage, conviction, and trust in God are portrayed with vivid storytelling that honors the book of Daniel while inviting viewers to reflect on their own walk with the Lord. Listen to my full review, then make plans to see this inspiring film on the big screen. It’s a story meant to be experienced in community, so bring your friends and share the message of bold faith and unwavering hope. This is one movie you won’t want to miss.

Today on the show, I discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's recent reaffirmation of the biblical principle that God calls women to be silent in the church. I will examine what the Bible truly says, emphasizing that our opinions don't matter. God's Instruction to us does. Additionally, I want to explore a question that I believe many overlook regarding this topic: Why did God instruct that women should be silent in the church? Join me as I delve into the significant answer to this important question. Listen and share with a friend!

On Today's show, I sit down with Bob Karel, director of September Bears, opening at Master Arts Theater on September 11th. Bob shares the heart behind this moving, true‑story production that highlights one teacher's incredible response to the events of 9/11. As it expanded to her church, their compassion, courage, and willingness to serve became a powerful testimony of faith in action during one of America’s darkest moments. The conversation explores how September Bears depicts believers as the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing comfort and hope when tragedy strikes. Bob reflects on the impact this church made simply by choosing to love well and step forward when others stepped back. This interview will inspire you—and the play will move you.

On today's show, I share a heartfelt review of "Front of the Class" (2008), the inspiring Hallmark Hall of Fame film based on the true story of Brad Cohen. Born with Tourette’s syndrome, Brad faces misunderstanding, rejection, and countless obstacles, but he refuses to let any of them define him. The movie follows his journey from a struggling child to a determined adult who believes he was born to teach. Jimmy Wolk delivers a powerful performance as Brad, capturing both the pain of his challenges and the joy of his triumphs, while Treat Williams and Patricia Heaton bring depth and warmth as Brad’s supportive parents. Listen as I discuss how this film raises topics that need to be addressed more often. I resonate deeply with this story because I have also struggled to overcome the stigma associated with my disability, cerebral palsy. My hope is that this film will help you and your family gain a greater understanding of what it means to live with a disability and highlight how we are more alike than different. You can watch this film for free right now on Youtube or Tubi!
