Today Wednesday Live featured five exciting guests filling the hour with dialogue about the importance of Christian film and ministry.
Kim Stryker, whose ministry is Heart 4 Hollywood, led the conversation. With this being America’s 250th year celebrating our nation’s freedom, two great Christian films — The Great Awakening (now available on most streaming platforms) and Young Washington (debuting July 3) — are truly worth watching, giving viewers a good glimpse of this nation’s history. Kim stresses the importance of faith-based production: these high-quality movies are making a huge impact on our culture.
Marty Jean-Louis, founder of the International Christian Film Festival, emphasized bringing new films, filmmakers, and others invested in the Christian ministry of film and music together to network and exchange ideas — making it possible to produce high-quality films and music. Marty says he puts God first: wonderful films put God first and the Holy Spirit does the rest!
Cameron Arnett of Christ Over Career — actor and former pastor — gave a brief testimony of how God took a poor boy from Haiti and made something out of nothing. Cameron says obedience to God is a key factor in our lives. Christ Over Career emphasizes putting Jesus Christ as the absolute Lord of your life over worldly success, fame, and compromise — born of Cameron’s decision to walk away from a very successful Hollywood career.
Barry Alsobrook of TakenTV introduced Guy Shashaty, who was asked to start the Florida Band of Brothers ministry, helping men transform their lives and find themselves in the Lord through Boot Camps. Guy notes that only about 10% of churches have a vibrant men’s ministry, so Band of Brothers has stepped into the gap. Bootcamp is the main event; Rally Point is the second, along with programs like Operation Timothy, a discipleship program. Reach Guy at bandofbrothersfl.com or flbobb@gmail.com.
