Lights, Camera, God: Being a Christian in Entertainment: November 30 Newsletter
Newsletter / Produced by The High Calling
Movie screens, TV screens, and phone screens: from big-time Hollywood movies to streaming video, our modern lives contain an abundance of visual entertainment. How do we understand entertainment in relationship to our faith? Can Christians be filmmakers and actors? Can “secular” film and TV teach us eternal truths? This newsletter will introduce you to Christians who are considering big issues like racism and climate change through the medium of film. And it will remind us that when we tell stories, on screens or off, we emulate our God, who told stories, too.
