Paul's Promise

Jesus said, Blessed are the persecuted and they are suffering big time right now. This is Bible League International and 19-year-old Aria was beaten by her own father and violated by local authorities. You know what her crime was?

Simply that she gave her life to Jesus Christ after leaving radical Islam. They need Bibles in order to endure and persevere. And that's why Truth Network and Bible League are teamed up to send God's Word to 3500 persecuted believers around the world at $5 a Bible, $100 since 20.

So thank you, all of our affiliates, all of our listeners, and here comes the interview that I did recently on this special movie called Paul's Promise, right here on Truth Talk. Can the power of God overcome hate and racism?

Can the power of God answer a precious, saintly mother's prayer? Well, you see all that happening in a brand new movie that everyone has got to go see, like this weekend. It's called Paul's Promise, and I am on with a man of God who has, the Lord put this on your heart, Nick Logan. This movie, everyone's talking about it.

It's coming out anytime now in theaters. What is going on? Why did you, what inspired you to be a part of this, brother? Well, thank you so much for being able to talk today. The movie Paul's Promise, which you can find at paulspromisemovie.com, is a true story of a pastor who was a bigot, frankly, in the 60s, and he had a road to Damascus by experience and turned his life over to Christ and started an amazing ministry which has fed literally thousands, if not millions, of kids over the years that have come through in Little Rock, Arkansas. So very inspired by the redemption of Christ through the prayers of a mother, and also the prayers of a black friend of his that he disrespected.

Wow. And Nick Logan, you know, this movie comes out in an interesting time of year, Halloween, trick or treat. Of course, you and I like to call it Reformation Day, you know, the day that Martin Luther, you know, nailed those 95 theses, and what a great day that is in our history. But there's some pretty trashy big, even sadly, even Christians are gonna pony up money, maybe, you know, 30, 40, 50 bucks, counting popcorn, to go see movies like Halloween, well, you know, a bunch of slasher demonic stuff when there's a movie that could change someone's life that you guys are making, right?

Absolutely. That's the one thing that I've been sharing with everybody is if you want good Christian films, and I hear that from so many people, oh, I just wish it was better films out there. If you don't go see my film, go see the film and support what I believe we need to support which are good faith based film is the only way that Hollywood is going to bring them back. Our opening weekend is so crucial because that's what's going to sell Hollywood on us producing more films and getting those films out to the to the body.

The one thing that is very disturbing is when you walk in, you see people going to a Halloween 14 or going to this new homo movie or you see what's happened to Disney. So if you can support our film, we'd be very blessed. Pray about it.

Pray about bringing some people with you. Yeah, and you can there's people listening right now to get packed out at the theater, grab a busload of the youth group, take them to the movie, have a fun night out after the ball game or, you know, on Saturday or go to the Sunday matinee, you know, Sunday afternoon. Nick Logan is my special guest.

He's one of the executives behind this movie, Paul's Promise. What can people know? What do you want people to know?

Yeah, I obviously want to give away everything. It's a quick interview kind of teaser to get folks excited, Nick. But what do you want people to know about Paul's Promise? Why should they go take time to see this movie? Well, as I shared, the number one thing that Hollywood looks at is box office. And that opening weekend, if you can find it at Paul's Promise movie dot com, the showtimes will be listed at each of the theaters. If you can go the opening night, that's what tells Hollywood that we've had enough. We want good faith based films. That's the thing.

If you put it off, yeah, I'll just get to it. We need to take every thought captive, as the Bible says, and this is a way to do it. Like I said, if you don't consider my film, support the other Christian films. But each one of these films fuels the faith based Christian film market.

I love it. And this, you know, of course, Paul's Promise, there's a lot of action. There's some pretty intense moments here. I mean, this is going to be, you know, people are captivated.

I mean, I got chills watching the trailer. Yeah, it's so true still. And what you're going to see, this is not, there's grit to this.

This is about a true man's struggle with alcoholism, a true man's struggle with the fact that his father is abusive. But we handle it very well. There's no violence that you'll see.

But the Holy Spirit, I think protects us from that. It's rated PG, we've taken every word out of it, it can be controversial. But it's a gritty film, it is not going to be your happy, everybody's happy film, it's gonna be a real life film, people dealing with death, people dealing with racism. And I really believe that God gave us an amazing cast. Dean Cain is in it. We have a group right now including Ryan O'Quinn, Cherry Rigby, Nancy Stafford, and Joseph Cannon, all of which have won awards for the film. And we won three by God's grace, three best pictures, one second place with two first place best picture. Watch the website, Nick that people can go watch the trailer, find out where they can go see it and make sure they go to it.

Absolutely. The website is PaulsPromiseMovie.com. PaulsPromiseMovie.com. It'll show theaters that it's at. If it's not near you, hit the demand button. And if you can buy group tickets or go buy tickets right now, it encourages more theaters.

In fact, one of the theaters, Cinemark, is ready to open up 30 more theaters if we show traction at the theaters they've already got out there. I love it. It's a little loud. Nick is running 100 miles an hour and I am too. I'm Stu Everson. This is a quick Truth Talk movie moment with my buddy Nick Logan and this amazing new movie you must go see. Take your family, find a theater near you all over the country.
