In this episode, Christian Taylor interviews Joe Amodei of Virgil Films Entertainment about the changing landscape of film distribution. They discuss the role of distributors in acquiring and selling the rights to films, the rise of streaming platforms, and the challenges faced by filmmakers in finding trustworthy distributors. Joe shares his insights and experiences from his 20 years in the industry and offers advice for filmmakers considering self-distribution. Takeaways The role of distributors is to acquire and sell the rights to films, including digital platforms, TV channels, DVD, theatrical release, and international markets. While there are aggregators and self-distribution options available, working with a reputable distributor can provide valuable expertise, connections, and resources. Filmmakers should carefully vet distributors and consider their track record, reputation, and transparency before entering into distribution agreements.

Phil's file of Christian Nationalism stories has gotten full, so we're covering a number of them this week. We explore the beliefs of early Christian Nationalists from the 1920s, how modern Christian Nationalism can't shake its racist roots, and why it's gaining popularity with some followers of Reformed theology. Skye explains what Christian Nationalism shares in common with the Prosperity Gospel, and Kaitlyn dismantles Christian Nationalists who say their views are rooted in God's design in nature. Then, we share one of our most popular Holy Post bonus features with everyone where Christian Taylor asks Skye about what the Bible really says, and does not say, about hell. Plus, another Christian college professor got Tisby'd.   Patreon Bonus:  Christian Asks - Why isn't God's proper name, Yahweh, in our English Bibles? https://www.patreon.com/posts/83796550/ 0:00 - Intro   1:31 - Show Starts   4:14 - Theme Song   4:36 - Julie Moore fired by Taylor University   17:59 - Christian Nationalism's Racist Roots   27:16 - New Review of Stephen Wolfe's book on Christian Nationalism   36:20 - A review of Mere Christiandom   45:11 - Christian Nationalism Fascism   Sponsors   56:35 - Sponsor: Blueland To get 15% off your first order, go to Blueland.com/HOLYPOST   57:43 - Sponsor: Sundays Get 35% off your first order of Sundays.

Christian Taylor is a two-time Olympic gold medalist for the triple jump now turned mentor to other up-and-coming athletes! From the outside glance, Christian is the epitome of athletic success, but what he is careful to remind those athletes-in-training is that failure is necessary to reach success. Every failure is an opportunity for growth, for learning, and Christian says that “I'm failing [now] to make sure I get it right at the right time.” His encouragement to future gold-medalists is to let failure be the catalyst for improvement. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/goodlifeconversations/support

What does it mean to be pro-life? Drawing from the words of Jesus, the Apostles, and the early church, Shane Claiborne says most American Christians have gotten it wrong. His new book, “Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person,” argues for the value of the unborn, but also for combating poverty, racism, and other dehumanizing evils. He talks with Skye about how the early church's consistent ethic of life changed once it gained political power. It's one thing for a tiny church on the margins of society to apply the teachings of Jesus, but how do we apply his words when Christians have control of governments and armies? Skye is joined after the interview by Christian Taylor and Phil Vischer to debrief Claiborne's challenging ideas.   Patreon Bonus: Christian Asks… What Will Heaven Be Like? https://www.patreon.com/posts/78474602/   Holy Post merch store - https://www.holypost.com/shop  0:00 - Sponsor World Relief Join the Path -  https://worldrelief.org/holypost/ 0:46-  Intro   3:16 - Shane Claiborne   Tyre Nichols and policing http://www.shaneclaiborne.com/ https://twitter.com/ShaneClaiborne   13:55 Rethinking Life   28:24 Ethics and power   33:49 Abortion   48:30 Phil, Skye, Christian debrief   1:07:03 End Credits   Other resources:   Rethinking Life: Embracing the Sacredness of Every Person by Shane Claiborne - https://amzn.to/40EvZZZ   The Irresistible Revolution, Updated and Expanded: Living as an Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne - https://amzn.to/3x3SDxt   Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/  Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost  The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
