Get an insider's peek into the glamorous yet complex world of film production in a conversation with film producer Darren Moorman on The Debrief Podcast with Matthew Stephen Brown. Darren's entry into the film industry wasn't just a professional move; it was a journey to align his faith-inspired stories with the awe-inspiring spectacle of film. Though shrouded with numerous trials like the writer's strike that slowed the industry to a massive financial slog, he has not been deterred. Darren, whose dedication to storytelling and steadfast faith have propelled his success in Hollywood, embraces these obstacles, demonstrating that bravery embodies not only survival but truly living.Questions we answer on this episode from our listeners:1. Janet from Yucaipa, CA. Should Christians watch horror movies?2. RJ from Bullhead City, Arizona. In Hollywood you hear stories of people selling their souls to Satan. Is this a physical contract you sign with a demon or is selling your soul more of you just living an ungodly lifestyle and choosing that life over Jesus or does nobody know? I love your sermons and I love the podcast! Thank you!!!3. Mark from Moreno Valley, CA. I went and saw the movie Oppenheimer the second day it opened, not knowing of the sex scenes. In a recent article from Denison Forum, it was stated that this movie, because of these scenes, caused millions of Americans to commit Adultery based on Matthew 5:28. I remember thinking when these scenes were shown, "why did they have to put this in the movie"? Just wondering what Pastor Matt's opinion is on this?4. Kimberly from Phelan, CA. I've been having a difficult time answering this question: "Is it sinful to support nudity or to see nudity.” It has been so normalized in today's society and it personally bothers me, but with some of my Christian friends it's normal to see. I understand that it doesn't say nudity is a sin in the Bible. However, I also think the action leading up to the nudity or the purpose behind it can make it sinful. An example would be viewing a scene in a movie where a woman is topless, taking a shower, topless in a bar, or a nude man in a random scene, etc. I believe that nudity is a sin if it does not have a godly purpose behind it, which is hardly ever seen in movies or tv shows. Like when God told Isaiah to preach in his nakedness to the people, that is okay because God commanded him to. Can you see people naked and it not be sexual on a screen or off?5. Anonymous from Loma Linda, CA. Is pedophilia as prevalent as the (typically conservative) media is making it seem in Hollywood?

In this weeks episode we're diving into some real-life topics that hit close to home. From growing up with an alcoholic father and the challenges it brings to managing conflict in a marriage, we're keeping it real. Join us as we discuss the often complex but crucial role of pastoral care, soul care, and professional counseling within the church – all in the quest to save a marriage and avoid divorce. But it doesn't stop there! We're also pondering the age-old question: How do you know when you're right with God and who is the witch from Endor?
