NZ On Air Head of Music Teresa Patterson presents a conversation with experienced music supervisor Amine Ramer and Executive Producer Philippa Rennie to discuss the use of music in New Zealand screen stories. This includes forensic examination of a script, advice on budgeting for music, deciding how to use what songs where, and collaborating with the director, producer and editor on song choices. This session uses Testify as an example to show the power the right song has, to elevate moments on screen. This session is presented by NZ On Air to encourage more New Zealand music in our screen stories.
While growing up comfortably, Alexcia's religion was her skin color. Shamoir grew up surrounded by drugs and gangs. Alexcia and Shamoir meet carpooling with the theater director 45 minutes each time to play practice. They discussed every major topic and were on opposite sides of them all. Working three jobs to make ends meet, Shamoir turns away lucrative job opportunities to go to school for ministry. Alexcia fights off family comments calling him a bum. The sacrifice brings joy as Shamoir and Alexcia have opportunities to tell others the lifesaving message of the love of God and salvation in Christ. Now ministering to others and raising three daughters, their journey has been filled with life altering miracles. My skin color was my religion. Alexcia Pro black home. White people hated black people. We did not deal with white people in our class at all. Alexcia From the hood in Jersey City. Grew up in a very dysfunctional environment. My mom struggled with severe drug addiction. Shamoir I struggled with anger from the abandonment of my biological father. Alexcia I fought a lot. I got kicked out of multiple schools. Alexcia I resented God. I hated Him. Shamoir Even though my mom struggled with drug addiction, she was a phenomenal mom when she was clean. When she wasn't suffering from relapse, she was an outstanding mom. She was my best friend. That's why it was so hard, I felt like my world was taken away from me, when she died. I did feel abandoned. I would cry about it. I would find places to isolate myself and I would just scream. Cause I had to get it out. I resented God. I hated Him. Shamoir I can no longer have this little girl watch me cry. Alexcia The things I used to love doing; drinking, women, weed, started to just weigh on me so heavy. A really bad downward spiral for me. Shamoir This Jesus that I am hearing about. I need Him. Shamoir We just kind of sat in the back seat together. Never looked at each other once. I got out of the car as if he wasn't even there. That is kinda how we met. Alexcia That is where the story starts to collide. Alexcia I was told Christianity was a white man's religion. Alexcia Stop trying to create God in your image, and understand, accept and believe that you are made in His. Shamoir We are just trying to get it right. Alexcia My mind was blown. I was like, What? You changed your mind based on some facts and evidence that was presented to you? And she was like, Yeah. And I fell in love with her right there. Shamoir She had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and became a newly single mom. It was a hurdle for me. I had to ultimately alter my preferences a little bit and she had to alter her preferences a little bit for me too. My conduct had not been entirely conformed at the time we started getting together either. Shamoir Our first date he told me, I am looking for marriage and if you are not we need to stop the date right now. Okay, I had never heard anyone say that before so I am going to stay right here. We are going to finish this date. Alexcia We spoke about everything. Laying it all out there. I told her how many kids I wanted. The dynamic of my family that I wanted to structure and lead in a Christlike way. Shamoir I remember he told me his life story and I cried. This was completely opposite of my story. Sometimes you think all black people have the same story. Alexcia I was there and I didn't want to be there. I would hold onto it for a while and I would pass it to the next person. No one noticed. Shamoir No one is really paying attention until one day one of my friends did notice what I was doing. He said, You haven't smoked in a really long time. You are just taking it, holding it, and passing it. I am like, I am going to be honest with you, I don't want to do this anymore. When you live life for Christ, there is a separation that takes place in between like your family, like your friends you grew up knowing and loving where you had everything in common because you are from similar backgrounds and you do the same things. A huge chasm of difference grows inbetween you because I am called to live life this way and you are going that way. I started to grow in Christlikeness in that regard where I didn't need it anymore...definitely feel liberated. Shamoir She is off the deep end now. She's going toward the white man's religion. Alexcia The rule in my house growing up was: Do as I say, not as I do. That leaves room for them to make all the mistakes that they want without taking accountability. But you just don't do it. I can do what I want because I am adult. You are a child. You stay in your place and do as I say. I did not want to perpetuate that cycle of brokenness and dysfunction. Shamoir I understand how important it is to have that father figure there, who is there every single day. Although he is not going to be perfect either, just to have his presence. I did not have that, but I knew how much I wanted that for me. So I was like, I am going to give that to my kids. Shamoir I struggle with being a husband and a father. I am trying to be good at something that I have never witnessed. I have never seen firsthand. Yes, I have the representation of the ideal man in the form of Christ. But I think there are elements that come from experience. A lot of it was just trial and error. Shamoir Our life is just riddled with brokenness, with chaos. Shamoir I was struggling with the idea of embracing a child that wasn't mine. I felt conviction. Shamoir Love is not pain. Love does not hurt. It is a choice to sacrifice for someone else. Alexcia I was in a really hard place spiritually. Shamoir People were calling me a bum! Shamoir He does have a real job. Alexcia I am just in awe of the way the Lord moves that no one can ever tell me He is not real. Alexcia To watch from where he came from to where he is now is nothing but a God thing. It is beautiful to see. Alexcia Any affliction I went through in my life was healed the moment I surrendered my life at the cross.

It is beautiful to see. Alexcia It's not perfect, but we share the same values. We have the same worldview. Ultimately, I believe, that is because of the unity that is provided to us in our respective relationships with Christ and also, our collective relationships with Christ. Shamoir There were things we did not see eye to eye on, but we were able to speak about it in a constructive way. Shamoir I think we both fill a void of the instability in regard to not having a father to trust and not having a mother to trust. So when we came together there was a hurdle to overcome initially. Alexcia We are just serving in the most obedient way that we can even though it is hard, even though it gets ugly. It's rough. Even on this floor we were sprawled out, crying out to the Lord saying where do you want us to go? What do you want us to do? The Lord always just opens up another door for us to love on people and show them who He is. Alexcia Any affliction I went through in my life was healed the moment I surrendered my life at the cross.

Shamoir I am jumping in this fight. We were just going back and forth. Alexcia When you live life for Christ, there is a separation that takes place. Shamoir I finally got the help that I asked for when I prayed about it that first day in my journal. My eyes were kind of opened to a new world. Alexcia Then they got to politics. Now you have entered my reign. This is where I put on my boxing gloves and I am jumping in this fight. We were just going back and forth. He (Shamoir) was on one side and I was on the other side. Alexcia We had one particular discussion. We did not agree with each other. I presented her some information. She came back to me at the next rehearsal and she said, Hey, I went home and did some research about what we were talking about and you were right. Shamoir I am the type of person I need to research to myself. I would go home and I would research for myself about what we just debated about and I realized I was wrong. Alexcia My mind was blown. I was like, What? You changed your mind based on some facts and evidence that was presented to you? And she was like, Yeah. And I fell in love with her right there. Shamoir My eyes were kind of opened to a new world. I went rummaging through my stepfather's library and found a Bible. Alexcia She had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and became a newly single mom. It was a hurdle for me. I had to ultimately alter my preferences a little bit and she had to alter her preferences a little bit for me too.

Every topic you could think of ranging from politics, religion, history, everything. We would discuss on these long rides to the rehearsal. Me and Alexcia were on just totally opposite sides of every spectrum you can think of. Shamoir We just kind of sat in the back seat together. Never looked at each other once. I got out of the car as if he wasn't even there. That is kinda how we met. Alexcia That is where the story starts to collide. Alexcia I was told Christianity was a white man's religion. Alexcia Little puzzle pieces starting to at least come on to the board. They weren't connecting, but they were on the board. Alexcia Stop trying to create God in your image, and understand, accept and believe that you are made in His. Shamoir While growing up comfortably, Alexcia's religion was her skin color.

In the Scriptures we see that God has designed and defined what marriage is. It is a holy institution where two people are united with Christ and one another. While this sounds romantic it is in fact a collision of two opposing forces now joined together to form one new partnership. Marriage by God's design is the grace of living in the truest intimacy with another person that requires the deepest level of sacrificial love and faithfulness first to Christ and then to one another.Connection Card https://bit.ly/2xNwrw8Subscribe To Our Channel https://bit.ly/2xSJgW8To Support Our Ministry By Giving So We Can Continue To Reach More People With The Message Of Jesus https://pushpay.com/g/lifegatechurchTo See People Made Alive In Christ - The Vision of LIFEGATE Church.

In John 11 we see Jesus, the one who is life itself, walk into a scene soaked in death. We see the effect it has on him, the emotion it stirs up in him, and the truth about who he really is.

Listen to the message Beautiful Collision by Ptr. Rúben Faria.
Acts 9:1-9 In the most dramatic turn events in all of Acts, Saul (later named Paul) comes face-to-face with Jesus. Saul is the church's greatest critic and persecutor at the time. But, because of his encounter with Jesus, everything changes. The event proves it doesn't matter who you are or what you have done—when a person encounters Jesus their life can be changed.
Released just a couple of weeks back, Dici shared his completely transcendent track “Beautiful Collision”, and we got the opportunity to speak with him all about. Euphoric in his vocals and displaying a silky smooth production from beginning to end, getting to talk with Dici was the cherry on top to our bright listening experience. For those somehow out of the loop on this artist, he's been hard at it since 2021 and rapidly growing his discography with a slew of singles and an EP under his belt. While all of it is divine, his latest song “Beautiful Collision” has taken all the greatest elements of the past and brought them to fruition on this new musical effort. As much as we recommend listening, we're also encouraging all to not miss this conversation. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wewriteaboutmusic/support

Sermon given by Stephen Pohlman at Riverside Community Church, 9 May 2021. Today we look at the example Jesus set for us by his life and his embrace of the cross. (Apologies for the buzz in the audio)
Sermon given by Craig Wilcock at Riverside Community Church, 2 May 2021.
Sermon given by Stephen Pohlman at Riverside Community Church, 25 April 2021. The story of the cross is set up against the backdrop of the Kingdom of God. Jesus' central claim is that he is the King who brings the kingdom of God. But why did the King have to go to the cross? In Part 3, Steve helps us see the powerful victory of the King as well as the cruciform shape of the Kingship of God.
Join us at Every Nation Brisbane as we continue our new series, Grace Changes Everything. This week Pastor Neli speaks to us about being lured away from the path God has us on. Your relationship with God needs to be one where you’re not ashamed. God wants intimacy that is intentional but does He have high visibility in every are of your life? Will you turn in every area of your life to worship the One who has never given up on you? For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. - Romans 1:21 (ESV)
Sermon given online by Stephen Pohlman for Riverside Community Church, 18 April 2021.
Sermon given online by Stephen Pohlman for Riverside Community Church, 11 April 2021. Join us as Steve opens up this new series called 'Beautiful Collision'. The cross is not a simple single thing. Rather it is like a multi-faceted diamond that is appreciated more and more as you look at it from different angles. The Biblical authors help us look at the cross from different angles so we can appreciate the beauty of all that was accomplished by God on the cross. This week, we are looking at Jesus our Redemption.

In this episode Eric discusses the dynamics of love in twin flame and soul mate relationships. Each relationship whether romantic or platonic serve as the most potent catalyst for spiritual growth. Whether we experience the most beautiful moments, or the hardest challenges, the sacred union between two souls inspires us to dive deep within ourselves to uncover the layers of truth and shadow hidden deep within our hearts.
