"Until the 70s, almost 80% of Americans trusted our government to do basically what was right. Well, then trust tanked, our institutional trust tanked, and so we didn't trust government," he tells Billy Hallowell, noting the same is true of politics, media and education.

But Tinseltown has traditionally instead offered up a drought in this arena, with mainstream networks, production companies, and platforms either ignoring or taking this audience for granted. 


This has effectively forced Christian and family-friendly outfits in recent years to independently create outside of the traditional system. Meanwhile, Hollywood has, at moments, been taken by surprise when faith-based films on shoe-string budgets deliver stunning profit margins.


This dynamic seems to be gearing up for a pretty notable change, though, with Prime, a streaming platform owned by Amazon, set to release “House of David,” a TV series premiering Feb. 27 that pledges to tell the “story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel.” Filmmakers Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn join Billy Hallowell to break it all down.

Päivi Räsänen told "Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell" her legal battle began more than five years ago when she challenged Finland's main religious body, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, questioning why it had "decided to support, financially and publicly" a local Pride parade.

"It was a disappointment and even shock to me and many others," she said. "Many of my friends decided to resign the church, and I was also praying ... 'What should I do now?' I was very worried about this very public statement of the leadership of the church because I was worried that it will undermine people's trust on Bible and its authority."

Ms. Räsänen decided to take to Twitter to share text from Romans 1, where the Apostle Paul addresses sexual ethics. She added a question to church leadership about their position in support of Pride. 

"After that, some citizen made a criminal complaint and the police started to investigate the case," Ms. Räsänen continued. "At the beginning, I didn't believe it. I just read it from the newspaper that police [had] started to investigate the case and I phoned to the policeman and he said, 'Yes, we are investigating it.'"

Now, she faces a major trial over her religious expression. Listen to Ms. Räsänen share the full story.

They dive into the role of faith in today’s chaotic political climate, exploring why it’s essential for believers to engage thoughtfully and prayerfully with current events — especially amid dark times. Jesse shares his insight on the balance between spiritual convictions and civic responsibilities, reminding listeners of the importance of praying for all leaders—whether or not they align with our beliefs.

The discussion also takes a personal turn, as Mr. Bradley opens up about the struggles facing the church today. From navigating the political spectrum to facing cultural confusion, he offers guidance on finding clarity in Scripture and using it as the foundation for decision-making, especially during elections and chaotic times. This conversation will inspire you to ask, “What does God want for my vote?”

Beyond politics, Mr. Bradley explores the real-life challenges plaguing society—from the rise in mental health struggles to societal shifts that often leave the church feeling isolated. He emphasizes the need for a grassroots, Gospel-centered approach, sharing practical ways his church is working to reach people where they are, including innovative ministries like Drive Thru Prayer and JustChooseHope.org.

They discuss how, in dark times, a little light can go a long way. Jesse shares powerful stories from Seattle, highlighting how small acts of hope can transform lives and communities. He calls on Christians everywhere to rise above the fray, spread hope, and become part of the solution, living out the true calling of faith in every facet of life.

So, tune in for a stirring conversation that will challenge you to think deeper, pray harder, and act bolder.

The duo most recently saw their family's incredible journey conveyed through the major motion picture "Unsung Hero," which was released earlier this year. Months later, they're now traveling across America on the 31-city "For KING + COUNTRY LIVE: The UNSUNG HERO 2024 Tour," performing music from the film and offering faith-inspiring messages to audiences. 

The Smallbones' work is a fusion of art, faith, encouragement, innovation, and grit.

Joel Smallbone told "Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell" that he and Luke are "trying to create awe-inspiring environments" through their music and performances. 

And it's not lost on him that For KING + COUNTRY is bringing out these messages of hope during a "very tumultuous time for this country." It's a responsibility and honor Smallbone doesn't take lightly.

"We get to pull people into a room that vote, think, look, act different from one another — different beliefs, different points of view, and yet we can come together for two and a half hours and have this ... emotional, relational, spiritual moment together," he said. "I'm really proud of it, and I think that's part of the deep purpose of it."

]]> Sat, 13 Jul 2024 00:00:00 -0400 Washington Times / Billy Hallowell Washington Times / Billy Hallowell 1136 Imagine for a moment a dystopian America where Bibles are banned and Christianity is vanquished. That's the plotline for "Disciples in the Moonlight," a new action-packed film that explores what would happen if persecution were to run rampant throughout America.
 
"In the not-too-distant future, the United States has banned the Bible for its 'offensiveness' and replaced it with a government-approved version," a description reads. "A small group of Christians are recruited to smuggle God’s Word to underground churches throughout the Midwest. With a ruthless federal agent in hot pursuit, the believers must choose between following the law or honoring and trusting God."

Stars Brett Varvel, Drew Varvel and Josh Strychalski join Billy Hallowell to explore "Disciples in the Moonlight" and reveal the real-life miracles they believe made it a reality.

]]> No Major Battle Ensues: Shocking CA Bill Banning Schools From Telling Parents About Kids' Gender Transitions Could Become Law 270 270 Major Battle Ensues: Shocking CA Bill Banning Schools From Telling Parents About Kids' Gender Transitions Could Become Law full 767e19fd-5700-4520-b574-fc0defbeb384 https://share.transistor.fm/s/0681a358 As the debate over parental rights forges on, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will soon have to decide whether to sign a new bill with sweeping ramifications.

"California schools would be banned from telling parents about their children’s gender transition under a bill headed to the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom," The Washington Times Valerie Richardson writes. "Assembly Bill 1955 would prohibit school staffers and volunteers from informing parents about their child’s 'sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression' without the student’s consent, seeking to thwart parental notification policies passed by local school boards."

This Democratic-led legislation comes as at least 10 school districts in the state began mandating that schools tell parents if and when children decide they want to socially transition.

Richardson joins Billy Hallowell to break down the story — and why it matters.

Is God Taking Over Hollywood? The Rev. Samuel Rodriguez on Faith, Culture, and Chaos full 70575bb1-5ee3-4c4c-8332-a70d51143f7b https://share.transistor.fm/s/818e93ac Is Christian nationalism an exaggerated term? And is God overtaking Hollywood? These are just two of the big topics we hit on today's "Higher Ground with Billy Hallowell" as we welcome the Rev. Samual Rodriguez to the show. 

Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, is on a mission to reach the masses with biblical truth. His quest has stretched from the the pulpit to Hollywood, with the preacher producing hit films like "Flamin' Hot" and "Breakthrough."

The fascinating mixture of Gospel and movie-making is something Rodriguez said first came on his radar 10 years ago when he was pastoring in church and a woman came up to the microphone and said, "Samuel, God says 'Hollywood.'"

"I had no inclination for Hollywood, no desire for Hollywood, to be honest," he said. "I was one of those evangelical pastors who would preach strongly against Hollywood."

But Rodriguez said he soon received a call from Paramount about screening the film "Noah" to see how it might appeal to the Christian community. He agreed and informed them the movie would likely not perform well among the evangelical community — a prediction that certainly came to fruition. That, of course, was just the beginning. 


On today's show, we'll discuss:

  • What led Rodriguez into Hollywood
  • His biggest concerns about culture
  • Whether "Christian nationalism" is an overstated threat
  • ...and more!

In this podcast episode, Moonves discusses her faith journey and her recently released audio memoir, "But First God." She talks about the warm reception she has received while sharing her story of finding faith, and how it has brought her peace and a sense of purpose. Julie also shares the story of a cameraman from her past who played a role in her spiritual journey and the challenges of forgiveness in her life.

"There are times when you just want to give up and throw in the towel, but when you are convinced that God is giving you a vision to do something, you gotta be convinced that He'll also give you the provisions," Brooks told the "Edifi With Billy Hallowell Podcast.

Brooks, who runs Project H.O.O.D., an organization that seeks to empower and equip individuals and families, has already raised $28.5 million of his goal. Listen to him share his incredible journey.

A preacher, who has been on a mission to raise $35 million to build a transformational community center in the heart of Chicago, has simply refused to give up on what he believes God laid on his heart.

"There are times when you just want to give up and throw in the towel, but when you are convinced that God is giving you a vision to do something, you gotta be convinced that He'll also give you the provisions," Brooks told the "Edifi With Billy Hallowell Podcast. "And so I have learned that God, if he gives you a vision, He will give you the provisions."

Brooks, who runs Project H.O.O.D., an organization that seeks to empower and equip individuals and families, has already raised $28.5 million of his goal. Listen to him share his incredible journey.

"It's nice to tap into people who are the big decision makers on this planet, and how these people get to power, and how they at times use their power for good," he said. "And, at times, some of them use their power for obviously malicious intent and ... their own betterment."

He also explored his views on sex scenes, his love for his family, and his faith. Listen to this powerful episode!

Moody, who lived from 1837 to 1899, founded transformational institutions that are still around today, including the Moody Church and Moody Bible Institute, both located in Chicago, and the D.L. Moody Center in Northfield, Massachusetts.

Caine, author of the new book, “Unexpected: Leave Fear Behind, Move Forward in Faith, Embrace the Adventure,” recently told “The Billy Hallowell Podcast” that Americans today might find increased secularization troubling, but that her own experience growing up in Australia previously prepared her for such a dynamic. She said she learned early on what it meant to exist as a Christian in a culture that didn’t embrace faith values. In America, some people are now waking up to that same reality, especially as culture rapidly shifts.

Romano's parents divorced when he was just 6 years old, though he said his dad was "always around" and he saw him on the weekends.
