I was interviewed near the end of the most recent Catalyst podcast which includes John Eldredge (episode 46). If you want to check it out, click here.
Whenever I work out (twice this week already – a new record!), I listen to the Catalyst podcast. Ken Coleman and Brad Lomenick do a great job on the interviews. This morning I listened to an older interview with Michael Flaherty from Walden Media, the film company which has brought us The Chronicles of Narnia, The Bridge to Terabithia, and other family films. In this interview he was promoting Amazing Grace, a film about abolitionist William Wilberforce and his pastor John Newton (the man who wrote the song “Amazing Grace”). I haven’t seen the film but would like to sometime soon.
We need more people like William Wilberforce, people willing to stand up to stop the spread of human trafficking today, a $32 billion industry which has trapped 27 million people around the world in slavery. To find out how to help go to Stop the Traffik, International Justice Mission, ServLife, and Nightlight.
You haven’t seen Amazing Grace? You gotta see it. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I had put off seeing it because of the evangelical hype behind it, but I have to say it was good.
