Talking Noah With the Fellows
“The Greensboro Fellows Apologetics class challenges participants to humbly, thoughtfully and winsomely engage culture from a Christ-centered perspective in a way that cultivates and defends the life of God.” – Elijah Lovejoy
In April I had the opportunity to host a live conversation with the Greensboro Fellows. I was invited by Elijah Lovejoy, who was working with the Fellows, teaching apologetics. This was a great time to encourage, examine, and engage a popular narrative that was creating conversations across groups with profoundly different world views. Though there is always a challenge in recording a round table discussion that involves 15-20 participants, I think this turned out pretty well and there was, indeed, a pretty great discussion to be had. I hope you give it a listen and maybe take a look at this film from an angle you had not considered before.

Agents of Humanity
It seems that anything Joss Whedon touches these days turns to gold (or something even more valuable). This makes it no surprise that, with the success of The Avengers, Marvel has tapped him to be the overseer of their universe…

Here is a humble list of my favorite films* from the 2012 movie year. It is a little self-indulgent as this will not be the main point of the blog from here on out, but there were some great movies…
into the REEL World…
After spending my entire life, to this point, enjoying movies with little thought of what those films were ingraining in me, I have recently been enlightened to the idea that entertainment is not mindless. Whether we realize it or not,…
