How Losing My Dog Brought Me Closer to God

Behind the Lens

Who knew a dog could mean so much? I started out as a skeptic. Well, I should really say that I started out with actual faith in God, but through years of little-to-no real interaction with Him, navigating the intellectual landmines of higher education, and a profound sense that something about evangelical Christianity wasn’t all […]

I’d never been in a riot before. And to be honest, it wasn’t as bad as I would have thought. I was in Rome filming my newest movie, Holy Ghost Reborn, and I was with one of my good friends, an evangelist named Todd White, who is one of the most fearless and exuberant people

Behind the Lens

Recently I wrote a blog post about Halloween where I made the case that it is OK for Christians to celebrate the day. I was expecting a backlash, as this is a day that divides so many Christians, and those who don’t like it really don’t like it. Part of my job as an artist and

Caitlyn Jenner and the Ironic Flaw of the Gay Agenda

Behind the Lens

Unless you’ve been living under a rock somewhere, you are aware that one of the greatest Olympians of all time (Bruce Jenner) has decided that he is, in fact, a woman (Caitlyn Jenner).  This in turn has spawned a litany of opinions, support, anger, cruelty and grace.  It has been a fascinating look into the
