In the first half of today's podcast, Mary chats with Dr. Ted Baehr, long-time authority on the media and the importance of having standards and guardrails in place to ensure that our kids are mentally and emotionally equipped to live as spiritually and socially healthy adults. Unfortunately, many Christian parents also partake in morally bankrupt, dark media that affects their walk with Christ and their day to day family life. Should families be arguing daily about their kids' time on smart devices? Might that be a sign of an unhealthy view and place of entertainment in our households? Dr. Ted is Founder and Publisher of MOVIEGUIDE®: The Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment and Chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission® ministry, as well as a noted critic, educator, lecturer, and media pundit. His life's purpose is to be used of God to redeem the values of the media while educating audiences on how to use discernment in selecting their entertainment. Movieguide has 4,000+ Faith Based Articles and Movie Reviews to help families navigate today's media. Following the chat with Ted, we continue to talk about media and families and how to protect our dearest gifts - the youngsters God has entrusted us with.

It's Tuesday, March 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Supreme Court takes case of Christian counselor vs. transgenderism The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Colorado case of a counselor who has been cited for counseling clients under 18 about a Biblically sound position on homosexuality and transgenderism. Alliance Defending Freedom will argue that the Colorado law violates counselor Kaley Chiles' freedom of speech. Colorado law currently allows counseling conversations that aim to steer young people towards transgenderism, but prohibits conversations that aim to help them to remain content with their God-given gender. Thus far, 26 out of 50 U.S. states have endorsed body-mutilating surgeries for children between the ages of 13 and 17. Thousand citizens and militants killed by Syrian government France 24 reports as many as a thousand citizens and militants have been killed by supporters of the new Syrian government over the last few days. Execution style murders are being conducted in the Alawite State of Northwest Syria, and some of the victims are Christians. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa denounced the violence. Al-SHARAA (through a translator): “Anyone who commits violence against civilians will be held accountable. It is our duty to protect our compatriots.” Menacing warships from Russia, China, and Iran Eastern nations are forming closer military and political alliances as warships from Russia, China, and Iran initiated joint exercises on Monday in the Gulf of Oman. This is the fifth such drill since 2019. Dutch reject one true God, turning to false Muslim god Religious faith is declining in the Netherlands. A recent survey found only 13% of the Dutch consider themselves Protestant, and only 4% attend Protestant churches. That compares to 6% of the Dutch aligned with the Muslim religion. The study discovered that Protestants are losing adherents by a rate of 3% every decade, while the Muslims are increasing by a rate of 1% every ten years. Swiss Evangelicals drop from 34% to 3% Another survey conducted in Switzerland found only 3% of the population attend an Evangelical church. And the Evangelical population has dropped off to 19.5% of the population, down from 34% in the year 2000. Over the same period of time, the Muslim population increased from 3.6% to 6.0%. The rate of Protestants leaving the Swiss churches has topped 1.6% per year. Catholics are leaving the church at the rate of 1.2% per year. The warning from Romans 11:20 to be humble is appropriate for the Gentile nations: “Because of unbelief [the branches] were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.” Wyoming Gov. cuts property tax 25% and bans transgender nonsense Wyoming Republican Governor Mark Gordon signed several bills mirroring the Trump agenda over the last week. He signed a bill cutting property tax by 25%, and another bill banning government programs which favor or disfavor people on the basis of religion, race, or sex. John MacArthur: “I'm on my last lap.” Pastor John MacArthur appeared on video at his Shepherd's Conference last week. The 85-year-old pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California and the voice of the Grace to You radio ministry has undergone three heart surgeries and lung surgery over the last several months. He noted that he's slowly recovering strength after the ordeal. He closed his address with these words. MacARTHUR: “I realize I'm on the last lap. That takes on a new meaning when you know you're on the short end of the candle. But I am all thanks and praise to God for everything He's allowed me to be a part of and everything He's accomplished by His Word in these years of ministry. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ.” MovieGuide affirmed best pro-family movies and actors The 2025 pro-family MovieGuide annual awards were announced last week. The most inspiring movie award went to the Catholic story of “Cabrini.” The film “Reagan” on the life of the U.S. president, received the Faith and Freedom award. The most inspiring performance of an actress went to Candace Cameron Bure, for her role in “A Christmas Less Travelled” on the Great American Family Network. And the most inspiring performance for an actor was awarded to Jesse Hutch for his role in “Christmas Under the Northern Lights.” Bitcoin down, Gold up Bitcoin has lost 22% of its value in the last month. Gold is up 4%, now hovering around $2,900 and change per ounce. The U.S. trade deficit has spiked 100% year-over-year in January, hitting a record $155 billion — which would amount to almost a $2 trillion annual deficit. Exercise helps sleep And finally, it turns out that exercise is helpful for sleeping. That's the conclusion arrived at by researchers studying a group of 2,170 people ages 60 and older. Muscle training such as lifting weights and doing pushups improved sleep scores by 5.75 points and aerobic exercise improved sleep scores by 3.76 points. 1 Timothy 4:8 reminds us that “while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 11th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

It's Tuesday, February 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Muslims beheaded 70 Christians in Congo The Islamic State of Central Africa Province, a terrorist group, is reported to have killed 107 Christians between mid-October 2024 and early January 2025 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In fact, more than 5,000 Christians have been killed by this Muslim terrorist group since October of 2017, according to figures recorded by the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium. This just in. International Christian Concern reports that the Islamic State of Central Africa Province, formerly known as Allied Democratic Forces, is thought to be responsible for the horrific massacre of 70 Christians by beheading in Congo's eastern Lubero Territory near the country's border with Uganda and Rwanda last week. Pray for the Congo. It's the 35th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians, according to Open Doors. God transformed Central Asian prison with Bible In their March/April Magazine, Barnabas Aid included an article entitled ”God's Word Unchained.” (page 13) It tells the story of a Christian woman who was released from prison in Central Asia after serving four years. The unnamed Christian was able to smuggle a Bible into the prison. When administrators confronted her, she told them, “The Bible is God's Word and shows you the way for eternal life.” Four days later, the official came into the cell and told her, “You must read the book -- all of you.” Pointing to the woman, the official said, “Let her teach you all and you must listen to her!” The Christian prisoner reported that she “started to read the Bible for everyone. Many women asked me to give them the Bible, so they could read it personally. … We read the Bible aloud during the day, and some women read it in the night. The cell in which discord, slander, and enmity reigned turned into a quiet place. Women became friendly with each other.” The sister recounted how women were healed from sickness by prayer. and even the prison staff began to request prayer for themselves and their sick relatives. She was released from prison recently, after having served four years and one month of her ten-year sentence. In Isaiah 55:11, God makes a promise about His Word: “My Word that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” German voters move right The German elections over the weekend produced one more political shake-up for Europe. The far left gained only four percent, while the right gained 14%, reports the Associated Press. America refused to blame Russia for invasion of Ukraine On Monday, the United States parted with European countries in an important United Nations vote. The United States refused to blame Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in votes on three U.N. resolutions Monday which sought an end to the three-year war. The resolution, which passed 93-18, called for the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and referred to Moscow's aggression as a violation of the United Nations Charter. America voted with Russia and 16 other countries. J.D. Vance affirmed young men at CPAC Last Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance had a word for young men at the Conservative Political Action Conference held in National Harbor, Maryland. VANCE: He told the group that “our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge.” He also spoke to the cultural zeitgeist. VANCE: “Wants to turn everybody, whether male or female, into androgynous idiots who think the same, talk the same and act the same. We actually think God made male and female for a purpose. We want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women, (applause) and we're going to help with our public policies to make it possible to do that.” Gallup: 9.3% of Americans now identify as homosexual or transgender The prevalence of homosexuality in the United States increased by 22% in just a single year. That's according to a recent Gallup poll, revealing that now 9.3% of Americans identify on the sexually-perverted LGBTQ spectrum. That's also up from 3.5% in 2012. Incredibly, 31% of young Gen Z women, and 12% of Gen Z men identify themselves with some form of sexual perversion that violates the laws of God. Romans 1:25-27 explains how they “worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator. … For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another.” West Virginia might allow religious exemption for vaccines West Virginia's legislature is considering a religious exemption for vaccinations applying to children attending schools in the state. The state senate voted 20-12 to approve the measure on Friday. Only seven states provide for no religious exemption on vaccinations. How God used a one-arm woman to triumph in softball Despite the fact that Katelyn Pavey was born with only one arm, she excelled in women's softball. Conceived by parents involved in a sinful affair who became Christians, they raised her in the church. Remarkably, Katelyn became an all-state player in high school and received a full-ride to Cincinnati Christian University. Her story is told in a new movie entitled “I Can.” MovieGuide, the Christian movie review site, wrote, “'I Can' has a strong Christian, moral worldview stressing God's grace and forgiveness. … Ultimately, ‘I Can' tells an uplifting, inspiring, heartfelt story that champions God's faithfulness to help people overcome problems. The movie has many Christian elements like church and prayer. Circumstances point Katelyn to faith in God when she hits rock bottom. [However], due to some mature themes like death, an affair and injury, MovieGuide advises caution for younger children.” “I Can” can be streamed for free and is available on DVD through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Blue Ghost spacecraft reveals new video of moon And finally, another moon landing with a craft produced by a private company is scheduled for March 2nd. This comes on the heels of last year's Odysseus landing last February. Blue Ghost, also known as one of the Ghost Riders in the Sky, produced by Firefly, is circumnavigating the moon right now, sending back some pretty awesome video of God's creation. Check it out through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. In Psalm 8:3-4, David asked, “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 25th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” - Luke 6:38Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Plain are a reminder that we should look for ways to be generous with all aspects of our finances, including investments. Brian Mumbert is here today to share some helpful ideas.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Dispelling the Myth: Performance vs. ValuesA common misconception in Faith-Based Investing is that investors must compromise financial performance to adhere to their values. Since the inception of Faith-Based Investing in 1994, the industry has made tremendous strides. What started with limited resources and headwinds has now evolved into a robust market with proven fund management, strong fundamentals, and competitive returns. Today, investors can achieve great risk-adjusted returns while staying true to their faith-based principles.Many investors have questions about whether they should tithe off their investment gains. In Luke 12, Jesus instructs us to store treasures in heaven where they cannot decay or be stolen. Additionally, 2 Corinthians 5:1-2 reminds believers that this world is not our home, and we are merely stewards of God's resources. Unfortunately, statistics show that the average American earning over $150,000 annually gives only 1.7% of their income, with Christians slightly higher at 2.5%. Tithing on investment gains is an opportunity to demonstrate faithfulness and generosity.Timothy Plan's Commitment to TithingTimothy Plan leads by example, tithing off the revenue it receives from mutual funds. The company sees this as an act of obedience and stewardship, using their resources to support causes that align with their mission. From funding crisis pregnancy centers to promoting faith-based media and supporting biblical entrepreneurs in underprivileged areas, Timothy Plan goes beyond just making money for investors—they are actively contributing to kingdom work.When it comes to deciding where to allocate their charitable contributions, Timothy Plan follows a thoughtful approach. They look at “the other side of the screen,” meaning they support organizations that counteract the very issues they stand against. For example, as a pro-life, pro-family investment firm, they support crisis pregnancy centers and organizations like Movie Guide, which advocate for family-friendly entertainment in Hollywood. Their impact extends locally in Orlando, Florida, and globally across the world.Looking Ahead: What's New at Timothy PlanWith new seasons ahead for the country, faith-based investing remains a powerful tool to influence culture and financial stewardship.For those interested in aligning their investments with their values and making an impact through Faith-Based Investing, Timothy Plan offers a variety of investment options.

I want to put down at least half the purchase price using proceeds from selling two other properties and get a 15-year mortgage at the lowest rate possible. What should I look for when comparing lenders?I have a small architecture business, and my income has fluctuated significantly over the last 3.5 years. My financial advisor has suggested I put my business on the back burner and get a consistent salary job instead to meet my family's budget and pay down debt. How can I be transparent and respectful when communicating to a potential employer that I want a salaried job but also want to keep my business on the side?Is it better for me to continue putting the maximum $200 per month into my retirement IRA, where my employer matches 50%, or should I put that money towards paying off my debt instead? I'm trying to decide whether to focus on maxing out the retirement contributions to take advantage of the employer match or if I should prioritize debt repayment.I'm 12 months away from turning 59 1/2, so I can take retirement withdrawals without penalty. My wife and I have a Roth IRA, and she's also over 55. Would it make sense for me to make $8,000 withdrawals from my 401(k) to max out both of our Roth IRAs for the next 5 years, even though I plan to keep working for 4-5 more years? I'm trying to figure out if that strategy of funding the Roth IRAs makes sense in my situation.I'm looking for resources to find more mortgage lender options besides the one on Bankrate.com. I checked the website of Movement Mortgage, which has a charitable background, but I didn't see anything for the St. Louis area. What other websites or tools can I use to find quality mortgage lenders and compare rates without them pulling a hard credit check that would affect my credit score?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationTimothy PlanMovement MortgageBankrate.com | Lending TreeLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Episode 112 - Testimony Series - Collaboration and Divine Guidance This episode is a part of our December Testimony series. A series of short testimonies of times that God showed up upon set or in ways related to the film-industry.In this episode, Christopher Sean Shaw discusses the challenges and divine guidance encountered during the making of his short film 'Skip Listening' for the 168 Film Project. Despite losing key locations including their initial filming location (after they showed up to film on the first day of the shoot), God provided even better options. CSS believes these experiences were guided by divine intervention resulting in a successful film, and lasting professional relationships including continued collaboration with Thor Ramsey, eventually leading to their feature film 'Church People.' Bio:Christopher Shawn Shaw is a multi-award-winning filmmaker and owner of Anchor Productions. He helmed the comedy film, CHURCH PEOPLE—which made the Movieguide® top ten faith-based comedies list—starring Thor Ramsey and Erin Cahill, featuring Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, William Baldwin, Chynna Phillips, Joey Fatone, and Michael Monks.

Matty Dalrymple talks with Rene Gutteridge about WHAT AUTHORS SHOULD NOT LEARN FROM MOVIES, including how crucial point of view and inner monologue are in novel writing compared to the visual storytelling required in movies; how writers can mistakenly adopt a “director's” approach, leading to overly descriptive and less engaging prose; and delve the science behind the different brain functions of hobbyist writers versus professional authors. We touch on how conciseness in movies contrasts with the depth needed in novels, using examples like Dennis Lehane's MYSTIC RIVER, and discuss practical strategies for maintaining engaging pacing in fiction without losing substance.

First of all, just a reminder that Gladiator II is Rated R, which means that you'll want to proceed with caution - a great place to learn more about why movies receive their ratings is either PluggedInOnline (from Focus on the Family) or MovieGuide. Next, it is wise to look for “lessons” from every source to use as teachable moments with your children so that they are not just “consumers” of entertainment, but are able to watch and listen with discernment. What messages are being extolled, what virtues are being promoted, and are these good, right, and true? Watch or listen to our conversation about Gladiator II to learn more about some of the things that we took away from the movie - and leave some comments on our YouTube page about what you learned as well.

First up, NAB's special segment on Baltimore Comic Con and the treasures Troy and Brad found while Cupcake talks popping his Comic Con cherry. And FILMS…the films we watched!!!! The crossover plus is a surprise taste test of a limited edition drink. Then the Watch Skip'ers and NAB dudes review Coralie Fargeat's sophomore feature film: The Substance starring Demi (It's duh-MEE) Moore and Margaret Qualley. Believe it or not, due to the format of both pods, the film matches both shows' criteria: a new release and a bomb (box office figures are showing weak weak turnout). Is this indictment of society's impossible beauty standards a BOMB or is it a stunning theatrical “Do I keep watching or walk out?”, gross-out body horror experience? INJECT US IN YOUR EARS!!!!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.Listener Request Month rolls on as Troy and Brad welcome back Sammy of the GGTMC to take on one of the most intense films the podcast has ever covered. This week, we're headed to the trailer park with a big bucket of the Colonel's famous chicken in hand to dive into the 2011/2012 Southern Neo-Noir, Killer Joe. Brace yourself—this film is not for the faint of heart. It's brutal, violent, and pushes boundaries, fully earning its NC-17 rating. The gang covers everything from the best fried chicken to Matthew McConaughey's chilling performance, and even debates if this might be the movie that broke the Movie Guide scale. Killer Joe is unforgettable, but definitely not for everyone—proceed with caution.Killer Joe is directed by William Friedkin and stars Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, Gina Gershon, and Thomas Haden Chruch.

“Scrooged is a 1988 American Christmas fantasy comedy film directed by Richard Donner and written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue. Based on the 1843 novella A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Scrooged is a modern retelling that follows Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical and selfish television executive who is visited by a succession of ghosts on Christmas Eve intent on helping him regain his Christmas spirit. The film also stars Karen Allen, John Forsythe, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard.” - Factually Exclaims wikipedia.org “Typically Bill Murray! Lol. Seen it a few times. It's not bad... Hardly the funniest, but it works” - Types - rottentomatoes.com "A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS is filled with funny, crowd-pleasing comical vignettes. Some of them are relatively clean and fun, but many of them contain at least some, and often plenty of, lewd, outrageous content. For example, there are two very suggestive dance scenes featuring a professional male dancer. Also, despite some surprisingly heartfelt moments revolving around the joys of family Christmas gatherings, the movie's obscene, crude language and lewd situations overwhelm its good intentions and positive Christmas elements. So, MOVIEGUIDE® deems A BAD MOMS CHRISTMAS unacceptable for media-wise moviegoers and their families." - Proselytizes movieguide.org “Frank hallucinates that a waiter catches on fire from a baked alaska.” - Warns Roflpuff098 - doesthedogdie.com Get inspired by our Top Ten time travel movie lists Check out @time_pop_pod on Instagram, Twitter, & TikTok Please Like, Subscribe, and tell a friend about Time Pop.
