‘PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST’
Featuring Jim Caviezel as Luke and James Faulkner as Paul
Culver City, CA, January 30, 2018 – The official trailer drops today for the anticipated new film PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST, a thrilling, epic story of the man who persecuted the early church and then became its greatest evangelist.
“PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST brings to life on screen the powerful story of a man who changed the course of history through his committed faith, yet at great cost to himself,” Director and Screenwriter Andrew Hyatt said. “The film shows what a deadly dangerous place the Roman world was for the early Christian church, and it shows how Paul prepared the faithful to continue living out their beliefs in the face of it.
PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST stars Jim Caviezel (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST), James Faulkner (Downton Abbey), Olivier Martinez (S.W.A.T.), Joanne Whalley (A.D. The Bible Continues) and John Lynch (THE SECRET GARDEN).
In PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST, Luke (Caviezel) risks his life to visit Paul (Faulkner), who is held captive in a Roman prison under Nero’s rule. Together, they struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world.
AFFIRM Films, a Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) company, in association with Giving Films, presents an ODB Films production in association with Mandalay Pictures. Filmed in Malta, PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST is produced by T.J. Berden (FULL OF GRACE) and David Zelon (SOUL SURFER). Executive Producers are Eric Groth, Rick Jackson, Harrison Powell and Jim Caviezel.
New From The Oak Ridge Boys
The Oak Ridge Boys Team Up With Grammy Museum For Intimate Performance on February 15th
TV Alert: The Oaks Set To Perform On Hallmark Channel’s ‘Home & Family’ Tomorrow!
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – The Oak Ridge Boys announce the exclusive premiere of their latest video, “Pray To Jesus,” a song that was originally recorded by its co-writer, Brandy Clark, who was GRAMMY nominated for “Best New Artist” in 2015, at Billboard.com. The new track is included in the Oaks’ forthcoming album, 17th Avenue Revival, available everywhere March 16th on Lightning Rod Records.
Recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A and produced by acclaimed pop/rock producer Dave Cobb, 17th Avenue Revival finds The Oak Ridge Boys returning to their gospel roots. But a different kind of gospel. One that took a hard look at the early days of rock and roll, which was influenced by spiritual, or black gospel.
The Oak Ridge Boys are also set to play the prestigious GRAMMY Museum’s Clive Davis Theater on February 15th, for an intimate conversation and performance spotlighting 17th Avenue Revival. The performance will be hosted by GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Scott Goldman.
The Oak Ridge Boys will continue the promotional trail as they make an appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family on February 15th. In addition to providing a little help in the kitchen with hosts Mark Steines & Debbie Matenopoulos, fans can catch a special performance by The Oak Ridge Boys.

Steve McQueen truly is an American Icon. One of America’s most endearing and intriguing movie stars, he “is still the King of Cool” according to EsquireMagazine—50 years after the zenith of his career! The coolest thing about him, however, is barely known, despite countless biographies and articles.
Steve McQueen was a believer in Jesus Christ.
On the surface McQueen had everything he could want—fame, cars, homes, more money than he could spend in a lifetime. An avid fan of the actor (and owner of a replica of McQueen’s car in the classic film Bullitt), Pastor Greg Laurie hits the road in his mint Mustang, traveling the country in search of the true, untold story of McQueen’s redemption-filled final chapters.
Narrated by Gary Sinise, interviews include:
- Barbara Minty McQueen, his widow
- Academy Award®-winning director Mel Gibson
- Renown stuntman Stan Barrett
- Celebrated McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill
- Actors Barbara Leigh and Mel Novak
Discover this amazing, true faith journey in STEVE MCQUEEN: AMERICAN ICON, coming soon to DVD and Digital. Don’t miss out!

Darci Lynne – More Than a Puppet Girl
Friend of the podcast, Darci Lynne wants people to know her as more than just a ventriloquist
if you’ve heard her sing in her own voice, you know that her voice is beautiful in itself.
Read the article below from Just Jarad Jr about some of the big dreams this young lady has. If her America’s Got Talent performances are any indication, I wouldn’t bet against her.
Ed
———————————
Darci Lynne Farmer might have just won America’s Got Talent last year, but she has dreams beyond just being a ventriloquist.
In a recent interview, the reigning champ reveals that while yes, she won the show as a ventriloquist, but she wants to do more than just that.
“I really want to do it all,” Darci shares. “I don’t just want to be known as the puppet girl. I want to be an artist.”
She adds that she loves “acting and would like to do TV shows, movies, Broadway. When I was on AGT, I was also doing musical theater in Oklahoma. It was very fun.”
That sounds like a plan — but she’s only 13, so some of those dreams are on hold for now — especially if she’s planning to stay put in Oklahoma.
“Oklahoma is my home,” Darci adds. “It’s definitely slower paced than California. I have so many friends and family here. My church is here. And I love my school.”

“I won’t tell you how he’s going to go about it. But I’ll tell you this much, the film he’s going to do is going to be the biggest film in history. It’s that good.”
While he said he couldn’t reveal details about Gibson’s plans for the film, in which he will be reprising the role of Jesus Christ, he said people won’t be disappointed.
