The Jehovah's Witnesses are possibly the superior filmmakers of all the Christian denominations. Although much of their process is shrouded in secrecy since they never provide production information, there is clearly a sophisticated filmmaking operation in place at the Watch Tower Society, with professional-grade actors, writers, and technicians putting their talents together to reinforce the mess...

This over-the-top yet underrated Christian boxing film is a who's who of some of our favorite creators in the faith-based genre. The ever-present Kevin Sorbo co-stars as a burned out boxing coach.

However, the names we're most excited to se...

This grim yet colorful gem from the prolific Mark IV Pictures is one of the most revered and feared Christian movies of all time, for good reason. For many millennials who grew up Christian, A THIEF IN THE NIGHT was a foundational movie shown in church that introduced them to the terrifying immediacy of the apocalypse. Its snappy vignettes and powerful messaging that targets children left a strong...

Hollywood is a vortex of evil, depravity, and abuse. Actors are not who they say they are — except of course for certain actors, who say the things I want to hear, so they are exactly who they say they are. A certain 1998 interview clip with Mel Gibson has been viral recently, with commenters breathlessly lauding the actor for revealing disturbing truths about the inner workings of Hollywood. Gibs...

The Kendrick brothers are proven moneymakers. Their films are notable in the Christian media industry for turning an extremely high profit given their budgets, and WAR ROOM is the Kendricks' most impressive entry.

Papyrus font, LORD OF THE RINGS inspired sound effects, and breathless interviews with "philosophers" and "visionaries" set the tone for one of the most defining spiritual movements of the 2000s — THE SECRET.

"The Secret" or "The Law of Attraction" is such a simple and vague philosophy that almost every contemporary motivational speaker invokes it, but it can be directly traced to the publishing of a famous 2006 self-help/New Age spirituality book called THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne. Basically, the book posits that the things we focus on in our minds can become reality, and this can affect us in both pos...

When God is literally your co-pilot, anything is possible. This is the lesson that 56-year-old pharmacist and amateur pilot Doug White learned in 2009 when he, his wife, and two daughters were trapped in an airborne private plane en route to Louisiana after their pilot died soon after takeoff. Through a combination of Doug's very limited training, the resourcefulness of air traffic control operato...
