With Amazon’s recent significant investment into the faith-based genre with their greenlighting of “House of David,” we’ll delve into the reasons behind the success of faith-based movies and explore the impact they have had on both filmmakers and viewers.<p></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-de35bb67-7fff-cdf7-9a79-ead1ab773328"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1. Universal Themes:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the key factors contributing to the success of faith-based movies is their focus on universal themes that transcend cultural and religious boundaries. Themes such as love, forgiveness, and the search for meaning are inherently relatable to people of diverse backgrounds. By addressing these universal aspects of the human experience, faith-based films manage to connect with a broad audience, fostering a sense of shared humanity.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Authentic Storytelling:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faith-based movies often excel in authentic storytelling, presenting narratives that resonate with the genuine struggles and triumphs of individuals. Whether it's a story of redemption, overcoming adversity, or finding faith in the face of challenges, these films portray characters grappling with real-life issues. The authenticity of these narratives allows viewers to empathize with the characters and find inspiration in their journeys.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Positive Messages:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In an era where negativity often dominates headlines and media, faith-based movies offer a refreshing change by delivering positive and uplifting messages. These films inspire hope, encourage moral values, and promote messages of compassion and understanding. Audiences, seeking an escape from the cynicism of the world, are drawn to the optimism and positivity inherent in faith-based storytelling.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4. Strong Community Support:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The success of faith-based movies is also fueled by the strong support they receive from religious communities. Churches and religious organizations often play a crucial role in promoting and endorsing these films, creating a sense of community engagement. This support not only boosts the marketing of the movies but also ensures a dedicated and enthusiastic audience base.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. Increasing Production Quality:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As the popularity of faith-based movies has grown, so has the investment in production quality. Filmmakers are now leveraging advanced technology and talented crews to create visually stunning and compelling films.

With the rapid advance of the Germans the 333rd was ordered to withdraw further west but C and Service Battery were ordered to stay behind to give covering fire to the 106th Infantry Division. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqv8bXFNfl72aTOUcpJdxXr_Ru0plnBBUF4zSVEE6SCWj4FQnOr3DvjxHZuWN9xx_t45_-FK_wp3FwTOHrpr1LrNBb-NasfEGWrMLENJCxqYfN4dxkVMAJ3M3ai5vtjYt7-ONY5tY3j3M9d3ar5Ec5ErKhSGQqyBpm9YfnpOmONQkos1IGK23DF4FVj4/s500/RenegaeRantsLogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpqv8bXFNfl72aTOUcpJdxXr_Ru0plnBBUF4zSVEE6SCWj4FQnOr3DvjxHZuWN9xx_t45_-FK_wp3FwTOHrpr1LrNBb-NasfEGWrMLENJCxqYfN4dxkVMAJ3M3ai5vtjYt7-ONY5tY3j3M9d3ar5Ec5ErKhSGQqyBpm9YfnpOmONQkos1IGK23DF4FVj4/w200-h200/RenegaeRantsLogo.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />On Dec 17th the 333rd were overrun with most killed or captured. The remnants of the unit were ordered to Bastogne and incorporated into its sister unit the 969th Field Artillery Battalion. Both units provided fire support for the 101st Airborne Division in the Siege of Bastogne, subsequently being awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.<p></p><p>11 soldiers, however, from the 333rd were separated from the unit shortly after they were overrun by the Germans. These men wound up in the little Belgian hamlet of Wereth, just 25 kilometers southwest of Malmedy, Belgium, site of another much more well known WWII atrocity.</p><p>At about 3 pm on Dec 16, 1944, the 11 men approached the first house in the nine-house hamlet of Wereth, owned by Mathias Langer. A friend of the Langer's was also present. The men were cold, hungry, and exhausted after walking cross-country through the deep snow. They had two rifles between them. The Langer family welcomed them and gave them food. But this small part of Belgium did not necessarily welcome Americans as “Liberators.” This area had been part of Germany before the First World War and many of its citizens still saw themselves as Germans and not Belgians. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61CbmMDsi9VBNec46zTBdnjOrKdG9CEzaQIpP4YF0xp6RJGFA43OX6opW_zbUNeDSSfy4igAaPSkwgxVorW0xpFcl9o1koqLItX2S2d7CtcUXS2HRtAVsvfFA4E1B7dcVhrMgQJNLsH1nwc0dhe5-LfU1GNBCNCTxiJcOYNplJj6TU70szVUvaFVTM6Y/s356/LostEleven_Sidebar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="356" data-original-width="339" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj61CbmMDsi9VBNec46zTBdnjOrKdG9CEzaQIpP4YF0xp6RJGFA43OX6opW_zbUNeDSSfy4igAaPSkwgxVorW0xpFcl9o1koqLItX2S2d7CtcUXS2HRtAVsvfFA4E1B7dcVhrMgQJNLsH1nwc0dhe5-LfU1GNBCNCTxiJcOYNplJj6TU70szVUvaFVTM6Y/w191-h200/LostEleven_Sidebar.jpg" width="191" /></a></div>Word leaked out from a Nazi sympathizer in the area that the men had been sheltered and were hiding in the Langer home. When the SS troops approached the house about 4 pm that day, the eleven Americans surrendered quickly, without resistance. The Americans were made to sit on the road, in the cold, until dark. The Germans then marched them down the road and gunfire was heard in the night. In the morning, villagers saw the bodies of the men in a ditch at the corner of a cow pasture. Because they were afraid that the Germans might return, they did not touch the dead soldiers. The snow covered the bodies and they remained entombed in the snow until January when villagers directed members of the 99th Div. I&R platoon to the site. <p></p><p>In the official US Army report it was revealed that the men had been brutalized, with broken legs, bayonet wounds to the head, and fingers cut off. And It was apparent that one man was killed as he tried to bandage a comrade's wounds.</p><p>In 2001, three Belgium citizens embarked on the task of creating a fitting memorial to these men and additionally to honor all Black GI’s of World War II. With the help of Norman Lichtenfeld, whose father fought and was captured in the Battle of the Bulge, a grassroots publicity and fund-raising endeavor was begun. The land was purchased and a fitting memorial was created There are now road signs indicating the location of the memorial, and the Belgium Tourist Bureau lists it in the 60th Anniversary “Battle of the Bulge” brochures. The dedication of the memorial was held in 2004 in an impressive military ceremony. </p><p>It is believed that this is the only memorial to Black G.I.s, and their units, of World War II in Europe. Norman's goal is to make the Wereth 11 and all Black G.I.’s “visible” to all Americans and to history. They, like so many others, paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

And although some of the accounts may be less than accurate due to the various authors seeing only their narrow view of the conflict and having limited information – they still bring to life the battle in a deeply personal way.<p></p><p>This is an immersive type of history as the first hand accounts are woven together so that they unfold in a linear way. As you watch hopefully you will discover the battle wrapping around you with all the intense emotion, fear and uncertainty on both sides.</p><p>A Union victory was far from a foregone conclusion at Gettysburg and these words from two centuries ago bring you closer to that history and those times. Now travel back in time to a divided America and the gravely uncertain days of May, 1863.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I5UG8YAVxYc" width="560" youtube-src-id="I5UG8YAVxYc"></iframe></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305734166467120903.post-78835717836280841042023-09-11T16:27:00.004-04:002023-09-11T16:27:47.554-04:00New Video: Joan of Arc's Unbreakable Faith<p><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEgbKrZLqgOLsAYBI0G-eXg1U8FesSHmtrx7ZPLyjfdzl3qQWEVxPm0HFk4C8lyGzQCJOmifKWYAKzPPGBJKXXeojaBfzK33UIpXQNXyEOTS4LiqjoUES1iHp7j59o1K3vzcjBJ2zZuRcBPD4OgyaJj-d6jOfqwF-gjav4zmRPOiNFKkwUqr1ph-7grE/s764/painting-joan-of-a_3589595b.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="764" data-original-width="620" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEgbKrZLqgOLsAYBI0G-eXg1U8FesSHmtrx7ZPLyjfdzl3qQWEVxPm0HFk4C8lyGzQCJOmifKWYAKzPPGBJKXXeojaBfzK33UIpXQNXyEOTS4LiqjoUES1iHp7j59o1K3vzcjBJ2zZuRcBPD4OgyaJj-d6jOfqwF-gjav4zmRPOiNFKkwUqr1ph-7grE/w163-h200/painting-joan-of-a_3589595b.jpg" width="163" /></a></div>Step back in time to witness the extraordinary life of Joan of Arc, whose unwavering faith in divine guidance propelled her to challenge the status quo of war-torn France.

And we'll hear from a West Point historian who'll provide his take on two confederate Generals at either ends of the extreme – best and worst.<div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qVtRlfytNUc" width="560" youtube-src-id="qVtRlfytNUc"></iframe></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305734166467120903.post-78592510910363887382023-08-17T09:35:00.000-04:002023-08-17T09:35:01.847-04:00Lee's Lost Order Changed the Course of the War<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0DTG18J24yWZsSPyy2xTOv8I0z_OE7PXLGTV6fZlyNn5OVhqxD5z_ydWQ9QlxBbr59WWPxNX6Pt7nmIlNDjUz0yPULnHmFPoVwXhklS0yUeo-BpO1uLGzyb3qB1VBcgoMnBoWdq7NKQeMVPf7yljDOY95A-GV9fVwH1Q5EaSPgiKGz5ib-4hIQwXtIdI/s715/LostOrderSquare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="712" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0DTG18J24yWZsSPyy2xTOv8I0z_OE7PXLGTV6fZlyNn5OVhqxD5z_ydWQ9QlxBbr59WWPxNX6Pt7nmIlNDjUz0yPULnHmFPoVwXhklS0yUeo-BpO1uLGzyb3qB1VBcgoMnBoWdq7NKQeMVPf7yljDOY95A-GV9fVwH1Q5EaSPgiKGz5ib-4hIQwXtIdI/w199-h200/LostOrderSquare.jpg" width="199" /></a></div>Special Order 191 (series 1862), also known as the "Lost Dispatch" and the "Lost Order", was a general movement order issued by Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee on about September 9, 1862, during the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War. A lost copy of this order was recovered on September 13 by Union Army troops in Frederick County, Maryland, and the subsequent military intelligence gained by the Union played an important role in the Battle of South Mountain and Battle of Antietam.

It is an "amazing" story and very inspiring and I know you will enjoy it. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0yNwD1PuinkWagN1Yl02pL?si=082c8e3803964572" target="_blank">LISTEN HERE.</a><br />My plan is to release two episodes each week on Tuesday and Wednesday and we have shows coming on the Story of Joshua from the Old Testament, The Four Chaplains of WWII, The Sermon that Ignited the Crusades and many more.<br />The Jake Hamilton Series will wrap up in early September and the plan for Point of the Spear is to continue only with the D-Day in 90 Minutes series which will wrap in October. Stories of Faith and Courage is my primary podcast focus because that is my interest and I hope you will check out and subscribe to the show.<p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305734166467120903.post-56697644714178420262023-07-25T02:30:00.008-04:002023-07-25T10:11:37.794-04:00Special Ops: Season One Rogue Soldier A New Audio Thriller Series<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgcieLBUW4L5RQdt0j8U3J39vpiCOXcGH8a3w0et4nVaa_d1VdGO5yHszBR9MeU9IxuHjFYCSnly4QAcHt1Xi3v7Z0qHcmwltfFZYXvA2WmjnjG7kWe1Da1oZUpToJV5smZV45DK49U2HrkSbuiC9oHX5YBK-Fo3fsRzjL__Iq2SDk8hqshpQIm9TvTU/s800/Jake%20Hamilton%20Rogue%20Soldier%20Season%20One.jpg%20MEDIUM%20800px.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwgcieLBUW4L5RQdt0j8U3J39vpiCOXcGH8a3w0et4nVaa_d1VdGO5yHszBR9MeU9IxuHjFYCSnly4QAcHt1Xi3v7Z0qHcmwltfFZYXvA2WmjnjG7kWe1Da1oZUpToJV5smZV45DK49U2HrkSbuiC9oHX5YBK-Fo3fsRzjL__Iq2SDk8hqshpQIm9TvTU/w200-h200/Jake%20Hamilton%20Rogue%20Soldier%20Season%20One.jpg%20MEDIUM%20800px.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Our<span face=""Open Sans", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.6667px; letter-spacing: 0.293333px;"> New 8-Part Military Thriller Podcast Series launched Tuesday, July 25th. </span><p></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; letter-spacing: 0.293333px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The first two episodes of the first season, <b style="background: transparent; border: none; font-size: 14.6667px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Rogue Soldier </b><span style="background: transparent; border: none; font-size: 14.6667px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">have been released</span>.
