    Can Great Movies Make a Comeback? | Jon Harris & Wade Stotts

    What makes a story timeless? Why are millions of people consuming 90-second "micro dramas" while classic films continue to inspire generation after generation? In this conversation, Jon Harris sits down with Wade Stotts of The Wade Show to discuss everything from rescoring Buster Keaton silent films to the collapse of modern entertainment. Together they examine why short-form content is reshaping attention spans, how Hollywood abandoned moral storytelling, and what families can do to cultivate a love for great art. The discussion also explores classic television, Westerns, Buster Keaton, the rise of Chinese-produced micro dramas, and whether our culture can recover an appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and stories that endure. Topics include: - Why Buster Keaton remains one of cinema's greatest artists - The explosion of Chinese micro dramas - How technology is changing the way we consume entertainment - Why classic Westerns communicated timeless moral truths - The rise of the anti-hero in modern storytelling - Raising children to appreciate great films and television - Can Hollywood recover, or is a new cultural renaissance needed?

    Should Christians Partner with Turning Point USA? A Pastor's Honest Take

    Should Christians work alongside Mormons, Roman Catholics, New Apostolic Reformation leaders, and others for political causes? Where is the line between prudent cooperation and compromising biblical truth? In this episode of Conversations That Matter, I sit down with Pastor Anthony Forsyth to discuss the growing ecumenical movement within conservative politics. Drawing from his own experience inside the movement now known as the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Anthony explains why biblical discernment matters more than ever. We discuss: Anthony's journey out of the New Apostolic Reformation The sufficiency of Scripture versus modern prophetic movements Turning Point USA and the challenges Christians face in political coalitions Charlie Kirk's legacy and the evangelical response How pastors should think about political engagement without sacrificing theological conviction Whether you are involved in politics, ministry, or simply trying to think biblically about our current cultural moment, this conversation offers important principles for faithful Christian engagement.
