Speaking4Him Podcast #690: The Christmas Ring (2025)

 “When I write a book, God gives me a story, and I put it on the page. Then I step back. On release day, it’s also me releasing it to God for Him to do what only He can do,

But making movies is so hard. I can control everything about a book, right? The weather, the casting, everything. But in a movie, anything could go wrong, so it’s very hard. So it’s about stepping out of the boat like Peter to walk on some waves. You have to keep your eyes on Jesus. And for me, that is a thrill because it is truly a faith walk, and God has been continually meeting us there to where everything could go right.”

Karen Kingsbury 

imdb.com

Today on the show, I share my review of the brand-new film from Karen Kingsbury Productions, *The Christmas Ring*, starring Jana Kramer, Kelsey Grammer, and Benjamin Hollingsworth.

Speaking4Him Podcast #688: Truth & Treason (2025)

  "German boys! Do you know the country without freedom, the country of terror and tyranny? Yes, you know it well, but are afraid to talk about it. They have intimidated you to such an extent that you don't dare talk for fear of reprisals. Yes you are right; it is Germany — Hitler Germany! 

Through their unscrupulous terror tactics against young and old, men and women, they have succeeded in making you spineless puppets to do their bidding.”

― Helmuth Hübener
