There is something about British narration that just raises the bar for a film trailer. This one immediately hooks those of us cursed with boring old accents. Arriving on Oct. 28, it stars Erin Bethea (Fireproof) in a story about the victories and challenges of love and life. Jonathan Patrick Moore (The L.A. Complex, The Mistle-Tones) also stars. You might also notice familiar faces Terry O’Quinn (Hawaii Five-O, Lost), Bill Cobbs (Night at the Museum, That Thing You Do), and James Marsters (Buffy... Read more

To me, it has always been exciting every time the gospel reaches beyond the barriers of the church and the Christian community to provide good news to those who need to hear it. So when Lauren Daigle performed the massively popular worship song “How Can It Be” on NBC’s The Today Show this morning, it made me smile. Here’s the video in case you missed it. Thank you for representing well, Lauren!   Read more

When Ben-Hur arrives in theaters on August 19, viewers will find many visual and philosophical tweaks made for the update of the classic story. Among them will be a more prominent and vocal Esther, Judah Ben-Hur’s love interest, played by Nazanin Boniadi (Homeland, Scandal). Director Timur Bekmambetov said that Esther’s role was crucial to the story as she serves as a bridge for Judah to join her in her newfound faith in Jesus Christ. “She presents faith for Judah because... Read more

  When Ben-Hur opens on August 19, moviegoers will see not only a new version of a beloved classic, but also a unique kind of summer action movie, one with a powerful message of forgiveness and laying down arms. The film, written Keith Clarke and John Ridley based on the classic Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, is the most recent update of the story, which includes the well-known 1959 version starring Charlton Heston.

Gospel supergroup Mary Mary, missing in action since the 2012 album Go Get It, has reunited with this rousing pop gospel tune inspired by the Ben-Hur movie. I saw both sisters, Erica and Tina Campbell, at a screening of the film at the Paramount Pictures lot, but had no idea what plans might be in the making. As I sporadically saw their reality series, Mary, Mary, there were moments of tension that I assumed might be for the sake of television. However, the sisters... Read more

Back in 2000, as I ran around doing interviews during Gospel Music Week, I collected this video of various Christian music artists offering greetings. Some of the groups and artists, such as Nicole C. Mullen, Switchfoot, Nichole Nordeman and Natalie Grant, were just getting started in the industry. A really cool video that reminds me of great times. You might also see a glimpse of someone who hadn’t really broken out yet, too. Read more

I’m a big fan of Nichole Nordeman. When her first project, Wide Eyed, released, I was absolutely floored by the songs like “To Know You” and the title track. Wise, soul-searching lyrics and simple, honest, effective delivery. This week, a video of her song “Slown Down” is tugging at the hearts of parents everywhere. On Facebook, it has amassed nearly 15 million views and the YouTube version is getting hundreds of thousands of hits as well. If you haven’t seen... Read more

I don’t even know if you’re ready for this, but you need to get ready.
