Fireproof, Widow's Might, and National Public Radio (NPR)

I received this email in my inbox this morning:

Hi, John -

Paul T. here. I don't know whether you heard the radio story on the emerging Christian film industry that aired today on National Socialist... er, make that National Public Radio. I'm generally not a fan of taxpayer-subsidized radio, but I thought the story was quite good. (I kept waiting for the snide comment or liberal slant, but it never came! Praise the Lord.) There were audio clips from the festival, from you, from Doug Phillips, Fireproof, Kirk Cameron, and others. They included the moment of Doug's announcement of your grand prize award, and you get a little feel of the ROAR that went up from that crowd! I'm sure that is a memory that will live in your heart forever.

Here's the link in case you want to mention it on the blog or play it for the family. The text of the whole story is there on the site, but it's much more fun to click the "Listen" link near to top of the page to hear the whole segment.

Simply put, what a victory! To have such an encouraging and straightforward article about a Christian movement, that doesn't make us out to be fiends and enemies of civilization. Instead, it speaks of our desire to create films that glorify our Lord. Praise be to God!
