Episode 148 - The Art of Film - The Sequel

Pastor Paul follows up to Episode 114 discussing film as inspiring storytelling and an avid hobby. After reviewing his own “origin story” as a movie buff, including maintaining a Top 200 Movie List in various forms for 40+ years (with a list of rating criteria), he delves into the broad genre of biopics (and historical dramas). He gives extended attention to new releases A Great Awakening (2026) and Young Washington (2026) and covers sub-genres of biopics in the areas of modern church history, sports underdogs, iconic musicians, cultural figures, fantasy, and adoption. Pastor Paul ends by sharing his anticipation of the fall release of “Jimmy” which depicts Jimmy Stewart’s journey from Hollywood star to war hero and back again to filmmaking. Paul’s benediction from Heb. 12:1-2 admonishes us to live our lives as epic films among our “great cloud of witnesses” but most importantly for our Audience of One, our Triune God.
