This is one of my favorite podcast interviews I’ve done.
The guys at A Clear Lens talked with me about the movie Hacksaw Ridge.
We discussed everything: The themes, Christian faith, persecution, worldview, politics and acting and casting!
You will love this one. It’s deep.
I may start a podcast about movies with a friend of mine, Mark Tapson. What do you think?
I just saw Hacksaw Ridge again. I posted about an early screening, and I am reposting that with expansions here.
It’s the true story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh Day Adventist Christian who joined the US military in WWII, but refused to carry a weapon and never fired a bullet. He became a medic who “saved lives instead of taking lives.” He suffered persecution within the system and from his fellow soldiers, but ended up saving 75 of his company’s men in the brutal bloodbath of Hacksaw Ridge on Okinawa.
This is the best war movie about Christianity in a time of war since To End All Wars (Go ahead, mock me, accuse me of self-promotion, but it’s true, regardless of who wrote it. And it was a true story too).
He’s done it again. Mel Gibson has crafted one of the most inspiring movies for this generation.
If you want to see Christianity respected in a movie, then you will definitely want to see Hacksaw Ridge.
If you want to see Christianity lived out in grace and sacrifice, then you will definitely want to see Hacksaw Ridge.
If you want to be inspired to be a better person, then you will definitely want to see Hacksaw Ridge. Continue reading

I will blog more about it when the release comes, but suffice it to say this is the best war movie about Christianity in a time of war since To End All Wars (Go ahead, mock me, accuse me of self-promotion, but it’s true, regardless of who wrote it. And it was a true story too).
