Conversations That Matter

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?If you enjoy conversations about Christianity, culture, history, and the arts, subscribe for more episodes of Conversations That Matter.00:00 Introduction and meeting Wade Stotts01:08 Rescoring Buster Keaton films for a modern audience05:01 Hollywood family history and classic cinema06:59 The rise of Chinese micro dramas and "brain rot" entertainment10:44 Why attention spans are collapsing13:56 Politics, podcasts, and the culture of sensationalism15:21 Raising children on timeless films and television18:53 Why classic Westerns taught moral lessons20:20 The hero, the anti-hero, and the decline of the Western22:00 Can timeless storytelling make a comeback?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, host Jon Harris welcomes back Pastor Michael Clary to discuss his new book Loser Theology. Clary defines loser theology as a pietistic vibe that tells Christians they are supposed to lose in culture, politics, and society — and to feel spiritual about it. He critiques prominent leaders, exposes the double standard on political engagement, and explains how to pursue righteous power with biblical piety instead of passive defeat. A must-watch for anyone tired of the church staying on the sidelines.00:00 Introduction & Welcome to Pastor Michael Clary01:45 What Is Loser Theology?

While her book Shepherds for Sale climbed the New York Times bestseller list, Megan was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation for stage 3 colon cancer (later upgraded to stage 4). She opens up about the fear, the fight, the deep spiritual lessons learned in the valley, and how God has drawn her closer to Him through suffering.

This episode is a moving testimony of leaning on Christ when everything is uncertain. If you're walking through illness, loss, or uncertainty, Megan's story will encourage you to trust that no molecule — including every cancer cell — is outside of God's sovereign control. 0:00 - Introduction & Welcoming Megan Basham2:10 - Megan's Impact, Shepherds for Sale & Sounding the Alarm5:30 - The Surreal Year: NYT Bestseller While Fighting Cancer8:45 - Stage 3 Colon Cancer Diagnosis & Attacks During Treatment11:40 - Learning Dependence on God & Hidden Blessings15:20 - Comparing Journeys with Ben Sasse19:10 - One-on-One Trips with Daughters & Facing Mortality23:50 - Deepened Prayer Life & John MacArthur's Encouragement27:40 - Obsession with Statistics & Releasing Control29:50 - God's Peace, Providence & Gospel Invitation#MeganBasham #Cancer #Faith #ChristianPodcast #ShepherdsForSaleOur Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men and use my code Mengotomars.com for a great deal: https://mengotomars.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jon Harris examines Russell Brand's new book “How to Become a Christian in Seven Days,” published by Tucker Carlson Books. While acknowledging some positive elements, Jon warns that the book mixes truth with serious theological errors, New Age influences, and a dangerous conflation of political “red-pilling” with genuine spiritual regeneration.Jon discusses the difference between a true biblical Great Awakening and the current wave of celebrity spirituality, the proper understanding of sin, repentance, faith, and the gospel, and why political awakening is not the same as spiritual revival.To Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Our Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men and use my code Mengotomars.com for a great deal: https://mengotomars.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sam Allberry's views on Same Sex Attraction have been controversial for years. Within the evangelical movement, Allberry proports to value singles and same-sex attracted people while still holding a high position of marriage and family. This is attractive to many who want orthodox doctrine without what they see as a stereotypical judgmental attitude. Unfortunately, Sam Allberry's theology was more than inadequate. It lead people to make peace with a sinful orientation and receive consequences for those sins as if the consequences were signs of sacrificial godliness. There is a better way for those who struggle with same-sex attraction, homosexual orientation, gay feelings, or whatever term they use to describe their sinful desires.To Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jon Harris details how IX Marks published resources that portrayed racism as a pervasive institutional problem in white evangelical churches, promoted racial reconciliation efforts that echoed leftist framing (such as rejecting color-blindness, emphasizing white privilege, and linking police incidents to systemic racism), expanded the gospel to include anti-racism work, normalized singleness and same-sex attraction in ways that downplayed biblical marriage and family, showed uneven responses to cultural issues (softer on LGBT matters early on while being more vocal on race), and navigated COVID lockdowns and politics with perceived inconsistencies.

In this episode Jon Harris tackles the growing wave of distorted teachings online about the Bible, the church, and the nation of Israel. Amid rising errors like dishonest portrayals of Jewish people, rejection of Gods promises to ethnic Israel, and even questions about Jesus Jewish identity, Harris offers clear biblical and historical guidance.Drawing from the unconditional Abrahamic covenant in Genesis and echoed in Romans 9 through 11, he shows that God still has a sovereign plan for ethnic Israel including a coming ingathering and salvation. This hope held by church fathers, Reformers, Puritans and theologians like Edwards Spurgeon and Lloyd Jones strengthens Gentile believers confidence in Gods faithfulness.Harris warns against letting politics shape theology or sliding into unjustified anti Jewish rhetoric emphasizing instead the call to bless Israel through prayer and evangelism while upholding Christ as the Jewish Messiah and the unity of Scripture. A timely defense of Gods irrevocable promises.PowerPoint Download: https://www.patreon.com/posts/153863146Essay Format: https://jonharris.substack.com/post/192036690Our Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men: https://mengotomars.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
