Alysa Liu was a standout of this year’s Winter Olympics, not only because of her incredible skill, but because of her contagious, authentic joy both on and off the ice. Giancarlo Sopo of the National Review wrote an article titled, “What is a ‘Conservative Movie’?” and used subtraction to define it. We can apply the same logic to differentiate between “Christian” and “Religious” movies and what that means for Christian artists. All of this and more on this episode of the Faith and Pop Culture Podcast!
