Summary

Are you tired of obscene images and themes taking over our movies and entertainment? We’ve been desensitized. What would once incite feelings of shock and shame are considered commonplace in our culture. “It's crept in, in every way, and it's just this bombardment that's coming against us. But I think you're seeing things start to change. People are saying, ‘Wait a second. We've gone too far. The pendulum has swung way too far,’” Pure Flix CEO Michael Scott told me in this podcast. Biblical principles must take their place in government, entertainment, education, and beyond. It’s time to bring Jesus back to Hollywood, be a light in the entertainment industry, and support films that promote biblical values—voting with our dollars and our presence will bring more Christian content to our theaters and TVs.

0:00.0	For too long did that, the church stepped away from arts and media and thought, ah, that's, you know, that's for the devil and everything like that. I always said this is a thing, you know, the church got confused about it. You know, if I was to cuss and swear into this microphone, it doesn't make the microphone evil, right? And I think that's what the church did. They assume the whole thing. It's what comes out, what you put over it.
0:21.2	This is just a megaphone to put out the message.
0:23.9	And so we have one of the greatest tools God has given us ever in the history
0:29.1	to be able to send out through this megaphone, incredible things that glorify the Lord.
0:41.3	Today we face an overwhelming amount of negativity. From hostile politics to dysfunctional rants on social media, we need something to cut through
0:46.3	the noise and remind us that there's still good in the world.
0:49.3	There's still hope.

1:24.4	Well, you can scroll forward four or five years, and we're engaged.
1:27.9	We're involved in television and radio. And it's real simple. It's too powerful of a medium to
1:33.7	communicate with people for the Christian community to step outside of that. And that's really,
1:38.9	I want to take just a minute and talk to you about it. You know, for more than a thousand years,
1:42.2	the church in the West was the primary
1:45.0	sponsor of the arts. Most of our classic music and classic art has Christian themes in it.
