The Scary Trend in Children’s Dance

Educate yourself about hyper-sexualization in children’s dance

If your daughter wants to take dance class, pick a company who’s conservative both in song selections and wardrobe choices to encourage modesty.

from contributing writer Mary Bawden

Have you bought flowers for that ‘special dancer?’ Each year I enjoy the dance recital of my two granddaughters at the Dance Foundation. At their most recent recital, their dances were titled ‘Whispering Wind’ (ballet), ‘Enchanted Rain’ (ballet), and ‘Trumpets and Horns’ (tap). It was a wonderful time to celebrate how the positive aspects of dance have affected them. Research shows that dance classes develop advanced skills in creativity, problem solving, communication, risk taking, high ordered thinking, and social awareness.

The Road to Edmond Falsely Promoted as a Christian Film

Director lacks major spiritual discernment in making movie

Is The Road to Edmond a wholesome Christian film as it claims? Or is it major propaganda, meant to mislead the next generation?

from contributing writer Analia Anderson

Recently, I brought two of my pastors to the screening of the so-called “Christian” film, The Road to Edmond that I saw advertised on Facebook. I really wrestled with writing this review because I always support my fellow Christian filmmakers, no matter what level of quality or stage they’re in… but this was an anti-christ film and work of the devil.

How to be a Godly Example in Your Child’s Life

Excellent fathering tips from the Benham Brothers

The Benham Brothers’ new book, Miracle in Shreveport, gives fathers the tools they need to be a Godly example in their home and how to equip their children to pursue their dreams, with Christ as the center.

Have you ever wondered how much you impact others? I often find myself wondering this very thing. If I am living for Christ, does anyone really notice? Will anyone really care if I am not filled with joy today?

Believe it or not, someone is always watching us. There is always someone we can impact. Now whether that impact is positive or negative is totally up to you. If you are blessed with children, they are some of the first people that will pick up on your actions. My mom would always joke around, “Why do you follow my mistakes? Make your own!” While this may seem silly, it could not be more true. Children watch their parents and they emulate what they see.

Brainwashed Teens Reason Behind March for Our Lives Protest!

Hollywood Hypocrisy and Socialistic Schools Must GO

What happens when teens have been brainwashed by Hollywood and a socialistic school system? An attack against our fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

Knowledge is power. The problem with knowledge among our young people today, is that they are not receiving it. Our teens are being brainwashed by a culture, primarily Hollywood, who is training our kids how to kill through violent media including TV shows, movies and video games. And we wonder why our kids are picking up guns and not thinking twice about pointing it at their classmates and pulling the trigger.

Former Hollywood Cameraman Exposes His Behind-the-Scenes Lifestyle

Hollywood Insider: Ep 18

Many teens today want to become famous and get rich quick. Former Hollywood Cameraman Joe Sanchez gives an in depth look at the reality of show business.

I met Joe Sanchez while working on one of my first movie sets back in 1999 called “Bowfinger” starring Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy and Heather Graham. We were shooting a stunt scene involving a helicopter which landed countless times at the Griffith Observatory in the Hollywood Hills. It was so neat to be in a movie shoot and I remember soaking up as much knowledge as possible about the film industry every time I stepped foot on set.

On the first night of the shoot, during a short break, Joe and I sparked a conversation that has turned into a great friendship 18 years later. I remember telling him about the Lord and his disinterest, but today, Joe is a whole new man in Christ and this reunion below explains his journey from the facade of the Hollywood glitz and glamour to the excitement of living for the Lord daily.
