Welcome to episode 455 of The Holy Post. This week we talk about Renee Padilla, who died last week at the age of 88.

You're probably wondering who is Renee Padilla? We'll stay tuned. We'll talk about the massive influence he had on the global church.

Then I have a conversation with Scott McKnight about his new book, A Church Called Tove, which diagnosis a toxic or good culture within a church.

Plus, we talk about some news events like a Kickstarter campaign for a new Christian dating service,

A Church in an unexpected location doing a drag queen Sunday, and the terrifying story of a man, a portable toilet, and a tree.

All of that is coming up on this week's episode of The Holy Post, but first, I want to make you aware of another podcast that we produce here at The Holy Post.

It's a show that I do with my good friend Josh Lindsay, and everyone's favorite background giggler and button pusher Jason Rugg.

It's called The Movie Proposal, and we talk about films from a Christian worldview, but we give it a sort of matrimonial twist, because every episode includes something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.

We talk about an old film that's at least 20 years old. We offer our proposals about the quality or meaning of a newly released film.

We borrow something from an outside source, and then we talk about something blue.

That's a movie or something we saw recently, which blew our minds or which completely blue chunks.

In a recent episode, we talked about the new action film Nobody, and how it's really the same message as Disney's movie frozen, but for a middle-aged male audience.

And that message, while really interesting, is also very contrary to the gospel.

That kind of insight is what you'll get on the movie proposal, along with a lot of laughter and a lot of fun, and occasionally a lot of spoilers.

So if you are a film fan and you want an interesting conversation around film and culture and theology, go check out the movie proposal wherever you get your podcast.

Now, on with the Holy Post.

Hey there, it's me Phil. Welcome back to the Holy Post podcast. I am here with Christian Taylor.
