Waist-Deep in War: The Legacy of a Hero

Culture Warrior: Don Wildmon and the Battle for Decency fully documents what Wildmon did throughout his lifetime to strengthen the moral foundations of society.

Written by Joy Lucius | Thursday, December 26, 2024

AFA Vice President Wesley Wildmon believes his grandfather’s unwavering obedience to God was the cornerstone of the legacy he wanted the film to convey – especially for the sake of AFA’s faithful listeners and supporters. “We hope that viewing this documentary,” Wesley stated, “will help them re-fan the flame to continue doing what we are all...

If You Want Young Men to Leave Christianity, Have Them Watch “The Forge”

This is clearly not a movie for the men who are lost; this is a movie for their moms.

Written by Joseph Holmes | Friday, September 13, 2024

While “The Forge” deserves credit for wanting to address the real problems of struggling men and boys, it fails to speak to the very people it says it wants to help. Christian parents of such boys would be better off passing on this movie and following other sources for their boys, and following the example... Continue Reading

First Man

The Neil Armstrong biopic affirms the virtues and vices of traditional masculinity - but misses its purpose.

Written by Joseph Holmes | Tuesday, August 20, 2024

There’s one piece of masculinity that the movie misses. This missing piece I think is the key to why the movie has flown under the radar for so long: a compelling purpose. Men long for a compelling goal and purpose for their life which justifies sacrificing themselves, whether it’s their God, their country, or their... Continue Reading

‘Hillbilly Elegy’—A Threat to Critical Race Theory

‘Hillbilly Elegy’ is really not so much a book or movie about Appalachia and its culture, but more about the consequences of sin in any culture.

Written by Larry Ball | Monday, July 22, 2024

The major controversy that surrounds the book is that it contradicts the narrative of identity politics presently dominant in this country. We are told that racial injustice is only a problem with minority groups who are non-white.  White men are, by definition, oppressors.  That is the standard presupposition of identity politics.  Because the book portrays...

Beloved of God

Popular culture and biblical truth.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Sunday, April 28, 2024

The crisis in the world over father-absence and mother-absence seems to be getting worse – certainly in the West. More and more wounded children simply grow up to become wounded, angry, dysfunctional and embittered adults. They desperately long to know and experience real love and acceptance. While most humans – including too many parents even –... Continue Reading

The Island of Lost Boys

Male survivors of the trans cult speak out.

Written by Bethel McGrew | Friday, April 5, 2024

The new free documentary Lost Boys: Searching for Manhood spotlights five young men who have decided to tell their stories. Alex, Brian, Njada, Ritchie, and Torren come from a variety of backgrounds. No two of their stories are exactly the same. Each is like a fingerprint, unique to the storyteller. But all five men have something in... Continue Reading

Testament: The Story of Moses

Netflix’s attempt at a documentary-style Biblical epic misses the mark concerning Moses’ importance.

Written by Collin Garbarino | Monday, April 1, 2024

The series purports to offer a history of Moses, but it’s a history lacking in scholarly rigor because it grants any source that mentions Moses equal authority regardless of authorship or date of composition.People unfamiliar with the Bible will finish this series confused about who the Moses of Scripture was, but Christians firm in the... Continue Reading

All You Need Is Love

There really is something about love.

Written by Bill Muehlenberg | Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Some of you will say, ‘It is just a lousy movie – why are you getting so worked up about it?’ OK, so call me a sentimental old fool. But some of you will share my reactions. Something very deep down inside of me is touched when I watch a movie like this. It is... Continue Reading

“12 Angry Men” is Almost Seventy—and Still Relevant for Christians

Sidney Lumet’s 1957 Classic

Written by Nathan Allen | Thursday, February 22, 2024

The movie seems more concerned with the men’s outlooks on the boy than whether or not he is actually guilty. The revelations are not that the boy is found innocent but rather that the evidence against the boy that each man has exploited for their convenience is found to be deeply flawed. Each man is... Continue Reading

Groundhog Day. A critique of American culture.

A seemingly innocent 30-year-old movie exposes the depth of corruption in America’s culture.

Written by O. Palmer Robertson | Thursday, February 8, 2024

What’s wrong with this perspective on human life? People everywhere in America agree that a bad attitude in life brings bad results. But the biblical perspective strikes deeper into the fallen nature of humanity. Bad attitude embodies sin – sin against God the Creator, and Christ the Redeemer. The movie also communicates the idea that... Continue Reading
