Faith, Media and Culture

Here’s the latest from the crossroads of faith and media: Last Sunday Ben Affleck attended the non-denominational Mosaic church in Hollywood. Afterward he sat down for an absolutely excellent interview with nationally renowned and well-respected Senior Pastor Erwin McManus. In the far-reaching conversation, they touch on matters of faith, doubt, failure, forgiveness, relationships, sobriety and…

Here’s the latest from the crossroads of faith and media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq8huOmTDUU&feature=youtu.be To Sir with Love meets Northern Exposure. That plot from one of my all-time favorite films mixed with a dash of a classic TV show sort of describes the plot to The Grizzlies (opening wide in theaters next month). Except The Grizzlies is based…

Here’s the latest from the crossroads of faith and media: Gary Sinise talks about his role in I Still Believe set to be released in theaters nationwide Friday, March 13. The answer is “redemption, hope, and second chances.”  Question: What are three things the world could use a lot more of?  In The Way Back…

Here’s 2020’s first dispatch from the crossroads of faith and media: Talking dollars and sense. So, despite his obviously passionate following, entrepreneur Andrew Yang was kept off the Democratic debate this week because of party rules that excluded him before an actual vote was cast.  Some lamented that the all-white stage lacked racial inclusiveness. I’m all…

Here’s 2020’s first dispatch from the crossroads of faith and media: “1917” opens nationwide Friday (1/10) but is already a Golden Globe Award winner (Best Picture – Drama) and a box office smash. From Forbes: $52,383. That’s how much 1917 made per theater from Dec. 27-29 when the film made its U.S. debut. From just…

Here’s the latest dispatch from the crossroads of faith and media: A Christmas Carol. Christmas episodes used to be a staple of network sitcoms but seem much less common these days. Since Carol Second Act is pretty much an ode the art of the traditional sitcom, it’s nice to see the show which stars Patricia…

Here’s the latest dispatch from the crossroads of faith and media: Riding Waves of praise. Set against the vibrant landscape of South Florida, Waves traces the epic emotional journey of a suburban African-American family confronted with a shocking event that threatens to tear the family apart. The movie which open wide this Thanksgiving weekend has…

Here’s the latest dispatch from the crossroads of faith and media: Waves opens in select theaters tonight (Nov. 15) and wide over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 29).
