With one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with a point.

Last month, the film The Whale was nominated for three Academy Awards, while the movie might

be getting a claim for its artistry, it's yet another recent work that takes aim at Christianity.

Other films that do the same thing include The Wonder and Women Talking.

This is nothing new, of course.

However, there has been a notable shift in Hollywood from film portrayals that, for the

most part, mock Christianity to films that portray Christianity as a force of evil, an

oppressor ideology that restricts individual self-expression and authenticity and enables

bigotry and hate.

This villainization of the faith distorts what is actually true.

Many of Christians have, of course, been guilty of evil bigotry and oppression, always

against the way of Jesus.

However, when Christianity's lived consistent with its worldview, it becomes a liberating

force bringing freedom, life, and flourishing to individuals and entire societies.

With the call since then, I'm John Stone Street.
