MOVIE REVIEWS
CFDb (Christian Film Database)
Who needs this Jesus guy? A question asked in this film, and one that may get asked throughout the life of a Christian and even more likely to be asked of the youth in our society.
There are many very good points made in this film for a teenager struggling in their faith with peer pressure and temptations.
As stated in the synopsis of this film, there is a wide covering of the various trials and temptations faced amongst those in our current society. But sometimes it can be a huge struggle for Christian children and teenagers who are absorbed in today’s culture of ungodliness. Those who have Faith learn that there is strength to overcome it all in God. -CFDb (Christian Film Database)
THE DOVE FOUNDATION
“Faith-Friendly 12+” and “Family-Approved 12+”
“Steadfast” does a great job in making a statement: bullying is not acceptable!…. This thought provoking film features a lot of teen angst and the various problems they face. It also makes clear that their battles are not only natural, but spiritual as well. The ending is filled with promise and hope. -The Dove Foundation

ATTACK OF MINIMALISM – Chicken Soup for the Soul
A story I wrote about my battle with too much stuff was published in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book. As I prepared to solo backpack the world for two years, relinquishing my possessions became a prerequisite. Three days prior to my departure, COVID shut the world down. Suddenly, I owned nothing and had nowhere to go. While my life plans changed, I’m still keeping a minimalistic mindset.
UPCOMING INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS (AND MAYBE A LITTLE SUSPENSEFUL FICTION)
True to my multitasking personality (or maybe I just can’t focus), I’m currently writing a children’s book, a suspense novel, and a devotional. Join my email list for upcoming news and releases. No spam ever, I promise. Just updates on a “need to know” basis. Also, feel free to contact me. I’d enjoy hearing from you.
To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music that words make.
