A Right Moral Ecology - The Instinctive Nature of Christian Films with Jonathan Leeman

If you've been around some of the more reformed circles of Christian ministries you will be very familiar with the ministry of 9 Marks. 9 Marks is devoted to equipping local churches to be healthy churches. I've followed, and benefited, from 9 Marks ministry for years. Jonathan Leeman, the Editorial Director at the ministry of 9 Marks is my guest on this episode.

Having made the jump into the Christian film industry later in my career, I have to admit, I've been bewildered by how poorly this genre of film is represented, and how difficult it is to get anything produced and distributed. Filmmaking in general is a very hard nut to crack, but it seems Christian film has a double dose of difficulty, and I often wonder if God really cares about his people, or his church, utilizing this medium for his purposes. Are Christian films valuable to the church -- to the world, or are they just a frivolous amusement?

This is why I invited Jonathan Leeman on this podcast, to give me a biblically solid, reformed churchman's perspective on Christian film.
