Question: Should Christians Cuss?
I was asked the question: “Recently I have been a part of several discussions involving the role of our words as Christians mainly on the topic of cussing. What is your biblical interpretation about having Christians avoiding cussing? (even in screenplays or acting as well)” As a Christian filmmaker I’ve always debated and actually [...]
Ask your questions
I’ve learned that some of my best blogs come from a question someone emails me. The reason I say best, is because I learn a ton from writing them. Because it forces me to think about things that I wouldn’t have normally written about. So please send me your questions. I prefer theology. I’m [...]
God Shouldn’t be Product Placement (or why Christian films suck)
I’m a Christian that makes films, though I haven’t made any blatant “Christian films” yet. I actually do plan on it. Everyone knows that Christian films are horrible. Christian as a genre in any art is usually a little more lacking than secular art. But in the film industry it’s especially bad. Why is that? [...]
This is the Blog You’ve Been Waiting For
Sometimes If I haven’t written a blog in a long time. I feel the need to make the next blog really epic, like “This is the Blog you’ve been waiting for”. I think we do this with prayer all the time. When our prayer life has been horrible, we think “when I start praying [...]

What pulled me into Christianity?
A friend asked me “what pulled you into chritianity? im not religious or anything.. just curious” on Formspring, I don’t know if Formspring allows so many characters to properly answer that question. So I’ll answer here. If I explain it Biblically and simply, I would say that it was God that pulled me into [...]
My Summer in 4,500 Characters
(This is the longest blog I’ve ever written, don’t say I didn’t warn you) A lot of people have been asking how I have been doing. I’ve always wanted to be honest and transparent with people. So when they ask, I can’t go to the default “good” when I answer. But to tell you [...]
Prideful lack of self-esteem.
I don’t know how to really start or end this blog: The lack of self-respect comes from your pride. The reason you lose respect for yourself is because you keep thinking “I can do better, I can do better”. My friends, no you can’t. You cannot do better. When you just got [...]
