James looks into this swamped franchise and sees the ugly truth of fairy tales and friendship, why we should probably listen when an ass is talking, and most importantly why we shouldn't be a Farquaad.

Many writers assume that Christian stories are defined by clean content, religious themes, or explicit references to faith. But a Christian worldview is not a genre.In this episode of The Storyteller's Mission, Zena Dell Lowe explains why many faith-based stories feel preachy, emotionally shallow, or dramatically ineffective despite their good intentions. More importantly, she reveals how writers can create stories that communicate biblical truth at a deep structural level without relying on overt religious content.Through examples from Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, and modern storytelling trends, you'll discover the difference between worldview and genre, truth and signaling, and why some secular stories often resonate more deeply than many faith-based films.Topics Covered:• Christian worldview vs Christian genre • Why faith-based films often struggle • Storytelling and moral truth • Die Hard and biblical morality • Lethal Weapon as moral storytelling • Principles vs rules in story • The problem with preachy writing • Writing stories that resonate • Biblical worldview in screenwriting • Christian storytelling and cultureCHAPTERS00:00 A Secular Story Can Tell More Truth 01:12 What People Mean by "Christian Film" 02:00 Why Die Hard Matters 03:00 Principles vs Rules 05:30 Compassion vs Justice 06:30 What a Worldview Really Is 07:10 Genre vs Worldview 08:20 The Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters Example 10:30 Why Nuance Matters 11:10 Secular Stories and Biblical Truth 11:25 Lethal Weapon vs Modern Storytelling 12:40 The Postmodern Worldview Shift 14:00 What Writing a Christian Worldview Actually Means 15:25 Stop Trying to Write Christian Stories 15:50 Why the Faith-Based Industry Struggles 17:35 What This Means for Writers 19:45 We Need More Truthful StoriesWatch this episode on YouTubeFree Resources for Writers:Seven Deadly Plot Points FREE TRAINING VIDEO Free Video Tutorial for ScreenwritingSign up for The Storyteller's Digest, my exclusive bi-monthly newsletter for writers and storytellers.

This week our Patreon Saints sent us back to the year 2000 to enjoy a classic comedy starry Brendan Fraser. Bedazzled is one of the many movies about the Devil that came out at the turn of the millennia. It may be a bit "one note" but it is very fun and it gave us the opportunity to dispel a few common myths about Satan. We explore the value of having a friend who listens to you (even if it's Elizabeth Hurley playing the devil) and how important it is to be sober minded and watchful because the Devil prowls like a lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

Join Rory and Miles, who have minimal fashion sense, but an impeccable sense for film and theology as they discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2. They dissect how the world of high fashion conflicts with a Christian worldview, how our antagonists seek to defend the good, the true, and the beautiful and how this sequel creates a bit of growth in our main characters as they wrestle with their own imperfection.

This week, actor Milo Ventimiglia — known for 'This Is Us,' 'Gilmore Girls' and 'Heroes' — tells us why he chose to star in a new Christian movie, playing real-life worship artist Tim Timmons, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer over 20 years ago and is still defying the odds today. In RELEVANT Buzz, the crew recaps the Super Bowl — including the incredible story of Seahawks coach Mike McDonald, who followed God's calling to leave the corporate world to take an unpaid internship in coaching. And now 12 years later, it's led to a Super Bowl championship. We also dig into a new study revealing that Gen Z is statistically dumber than their parents (and why that's significant). Plus, Jesse forces the crew to watch the Carman movie trailer, and at the end of the show, we have Ask the Cast!

This episode features a deep dive into the film "Wake Up Dead Man" (the latest Knives Out movie) from a Christian perspective. Hosts Preston and Femi explore whether it qualifies as a "Christian film" and discuss how its portrayal of Father Judd—an earnest, sincere priest—offers a surprisingly generous depiction of genuine faith. They analyze the various church characters as representations of different dynamics found in American Christianity, from devotion without faith to political manipulation of religion. The conversation highlights how the film's "show don't tell" approach creates meaningful opportunities for discussing authentic Christianity with both believers and non-believers, making it a valuable tool for discipleship and evangelism when engaging with broader culture. Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)
