ANDREW GARFIELD IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Hackaw Ridge Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   LIQUID IV: Visit http://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS With Andrew Garfield starring in Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt later this year, Andrew & John give their HACKSAW RIDGE Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!! Andrew Gordon and John Humphrey take on Mel Gibson's powerful WWII biographical drama Hacksaw Ridge (2016), spotlighting one of the most heroic and unlikely war stories in American history. Based on the true story of Desmond Doss, a devout Seventh-day Adventist and conscientious objector who saved 75 men during the Battle of Okinawa without ever carrying a weapon, the film delivers intense battlefield realism and a moving portrait of faith and courage. Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man, Tick, Tick... Boom!) stars as Desmond Doss in an Oscar-nominated performance, capturing the medic's unwavering pacifism and quiet strength. Teresa Palmer (Lights Out, Warm Bodies) plays Dorothy Schutte, Desmond's devoted wife, while Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings) portrays his war-haunted father, Tom Doss. Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under, Muriel's Wedding) plays Bertha Doss, Desmond's supportive mother. The film also stars Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation) as Captain Glover, Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers, True Detective) in a memorable dramatic turn as the tough Sergeant Howell, and Luke Bracey (Point Break, Elvis) as Smitty, Desmond's fellow soldier and eventual ally. From harrowing basic training confrontations to the unflinching combat at Hacksaw Ridge itself, the movie features unforgettable scenes like Desmond's night-long rescue of the wounded, his prayerful mantra “Please Lord, help me get one more,” and the climactic cliffside descent with wounded soldiers in tow. With brutal intensity & spiritual depth, Hacksaw Ridge is both a visceral war film and a moving testament to nonviolence and conviction.

The Progressive Era in the United States brought many social and political reforms. Many professions that were previously closed off to women and people of color became more accessible and for Seventh-day Adventist women, the medical field brought opportunity for mission-minded work both domestically and abroad. But this new era didn't last forever. A new set of challenges for these women - nurses, doctors, and health educators - was on the horizon.  In this episode, we explore the lives of Mary Britton, Lottie Blake, and Ruth Temple - who blazed trails as some of the first black female physicians in the United States.  This episode mentions Lottie Blake, Mary Briton, and Ruth Temple. Guests: Dr. Ella Smith Simmons, Dr. Lisa Clark Diller, and Dr. DeWitt Williams.

The burning bush is a well-known story, and helps to introduce us further to Moses. Two great things happen in Exodus three: God introduces himself by "name" with the famous "I am", and we have one of the greatest-ever stories of God's calling. It is interesting to ponder how reluctant Moses is, and we explore various ways this challenges us today.

God has appointed His people as watchmen to warn the world of spiritual dangers in these last days. The Three Angels' Messages of Revelation 14 contain the entire gospel and unmask Satan's deceptions. Literature distribution plays a crucial role in spreading this final warning, with books like 'The Great Controversy' having special importance. Even when books aren't immediately read, God ensures they'll be found when needed. Through simple methods and ordinary people, God will finish His work, with thousands being converted in a single day, many through reading Adventist publications.

Today I have something a little different for you.Last year, I went to my 20th high school reunion. I attended a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school, and going back felt like stepping into another lifetime. If I'd thought about religious trauma before that experience, I've been thinking about it a lot more since.You'll hear me talk about that today, but what's different is that this episode is actually from a brand new podcast I co-host called Ask Me a Question.I created this podcast with my best friend—and high school sweetheart. Years after our time in church and school, we came out to each other as queer and have spent years supporting each other's growth and just enjoying being friends.Cedric came to me with the idea for this show because our story is unique, and we wanted a space to unpack what it was like to grow up inside a fundamentalist faith. Together, we revisit the questions that shaped and challenged our worldview, explore how we made sense of life after leaving the Adventist church, and share what it's been like to build a life rooted in curiosity, joy, and chosen family.I hope you enjoy this first episode of Ask Me a Question.Follow Ask Me a Question:Our WebsiteAMAQ InstagramLinks:Work with RandeFree Spirit Academy on Instagram

You've been told to trust the experts. To eat more grains. To fear fat. But what if the very foundation of our nutrition guidelines was built not on science—but on religion, corporate funding, and government agendas?
