On Monday, Greg gave a message to college students at our church for a BCM event. He discussed from Daniel 1 how to live in a pagan culture, as Daniel and his three friends experienced in the Bablyonian exile.
Today on the show, we're joined by screenwriter and novelist C. Robert Cargill. In 2012, Cargill and frequent collaborator Scott Derrickson put a chill down the spines of audiences with a supernatural horror that was low in budget but sky-high in imagination. Sinister saw Ethan Hawke star as Ellison Oswalt, a washed-up true crime writer who goes to extreme lengths to reignite his career. After moving his wife and kids into the small-town home of a recently murdered family, whose gruesome killing remains unsolved, he discovers in the attic a box. In it are a collection of unsettling home videos that hint at a demonic conspiracy at play. As Ellison closes in on the truth, a terrifying entity closes in on him. The film put Cargill and Derickson on a path towards bigger projects – a Marvel movie, 2016's trippy Doctor Strange soon followed. It's easy to see why they were suddenly in demand. Sinister is a brutally effective masterclass in horror filmmaking that shows the power of a screenwriting philosophy Cargill swears by. The key to telling an engaging horror tale is to write a gripping grounded drama that's then gatecrashed by a supernatural other, he explains in this episode, also delving into the origins of the film's Bablyonian deity antagonist, Bagul the eater of Children, and all the ways Sinister evolved en route to the big screen. For example, did you know Sinister was originally titled Super 8 and presented Bagul as a “fucked up Willy Wonka” as Cargill puts it?Support for today's episode comes from Screencraft, WeScreenplay and Caveday.Script Apart is a podcast about the first-draft secrets behind great movies.

Waiting can be hard. Jeremiah the prophet knew this all too well while suffering through the Bablyonian exile. God's mercies are new every morning, but that may be small comfort to people waiting during a difficult situation. We'll talk about some things that the Word says can help us while we wait for deliverance.

2 Kings 25: The Fall of Jerusalem | When Zedekiah rebelled against the Bablyonian, Nebuchadnezzar sent an army to deal with Judah once and for all. He burned the Temple, maimed and enslaved the king, and took the nation into captivity. This was the destruction promised by God after the sins of Manasseh.Journey 11 | Straying from God. In Journey Eleven, we follow Jesus' footsteps once again in Mark's gospel, while Colossians teaches us how to stay on that path today. In the OT, 2nd Kings follows a kingdom straying farther from the way, and Hosea delivers a powerful lesson about cheating on God. Romans, Micah, and more Proverbs round out this powerful Bible journey.

David Thomas has a chat about the discipleship church. We've spoken a lot about what to look out for in the Bablyonian church, and how to remove yourself from that culture, but we've never spoken on what to look for in a church. How do you know you're in a discipleship environment?

The Adventure of Enkidu continues tablet I of the Epic and finishes on tablet II. It is supplemented by Bablyonian material where the Akkadian text is damaged. Gilgamesh is a young king of Uruk, arrogant, and overbearing. He so abuses his authority by the mistreatment of his people, even his own warriors and peers, even taking their brides in sexual intercourse, that he is feared and despised, even while admired. The people pray for a champion to deliver them, another strong man who can best him. The creator Aruru places Enkidu (the "wild man") on earth for this purpose. He is eventually tamed and comes to Uruk to challenge Gilgamesh. This is the tale of that encounter.***The image is an Akkadian frieze representing Enkidu drinking at a waterhole in the wilderness like a beast.Music excerpt is “Ur” from the album The Forest by David Byrne
