Summary

Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about Christian Movies, especially the Kendrick Brothers movies. Then he plugs Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt Manipulators, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Aladzoneia”. Happy Plodding! Show Notes: Kendrick Brothers Movies: it is very easy to make fun of Christian movies as a pastor I found myself really wishing that people I knew would be able to see and be affected by these movies people are misreading these movies the fault is assigned to the evangelicalism of the filmmakers it wasn’t the evangelicals that made all of the crappy hollywood movies, people don’t say that these movies were bad because of the secularism of the director whatever criticisms are leveled at these movies, it does not have to do with the story arc the things thats these movies need are better sets and actors Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt Manipulators: written by David Chilton a great introduction to people who want to think about everything, including economics, within a biblical framework rather than within a cluster of biblical sentiments Chilton shows that in a world that God made there is no such thing as a fixed pie Aladzoneia: means boasting (Rom. 1:30, 2 Tim. 3:2) James says that it is evil to take pride and boast in your future and all of the things you plan to do John condemns this particular swelling as well

0:19.0	As the Grateful Dead once put it, what a long strange trip it's been. I'm glad you're here with
0:24.0	this. Thanks for listening. So I want to begin by talking about Kendrick
0:30.2	Brothers movies. I want to talk about Kendrick Brothers movies and I have to I have to make some
0:35.3	qualifications at the outset and I hope you'll bear with me. My wife and I are not
0:41.4	big movie people. We watch the occasional movie, but we're not big movie people.
0:47.5	And we're not up to speed on many different aspects of movies and we don't have the wisdom and expertise
0:57.6	that comes with being big movie people but I also think that we don't have the blind spots that big movie people sometimes have where they've been they're so immersed in the
1:08.7	They're so immersed in it that they don't see what's going on anymore.
1:13.0	So, but that basically what you see is what you get.
1:17.0	We're not big movie people.
1:19.0	But for whatever reason, I watched The Kendrick Brothers movies are movies like Fireproof and then Courageous came out a few years ago and then the war room more recently and facing the giants.
1:37.0	Years ago I saw Fireproof and then also years ago I saw Courageous.

2:10.0	And the production quality seems to be sort of like decent made for TV movies, you know
2:18.8	homework channel kind of things and and then the the plot line would be a predictable evangelical arc, either a conversion
2:30.6	arc or a rededication arc and then resolution accordingly.
2:37.0	So, and I've found myself watching these movies.
