Book Vs Movie PodcastThe Night of the Hunter (1955) Charles Laughton, Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish, & Davis GrubbBook Vs. Movie: The Night of the HunterThe 1953 Novel Vs. the 1955 Classic MovieDavis Grubb’s 1953 novel *The Night of the Hunter* and its 1955 film adaptation by Charles Laughton offer haunting interpretations of a sinister preacher, Harry Powell, and two children fleeing him. The novel delves deeper into Powell's twisted morality and religious fanaticism. At the same time, the film, featuring Robert Mitchum, presents him as a symbolic figure of evil with striking visual elements, including his "LOVE" and "HATE" tattoos. The book maintains a grounded, psychological tone, while the mov...

Have You Ever SeenThe Night Of The HunterThe Night Of The Hunter is Exhibit A when you talk about films that are revered more now than they were when they came out. To many, this KEEPS getting better every time they see it. We're fans too. Charles Laughton was better known as a clever actor, but this was his directorial debut. For a first-time director, he pulled off a stylish allegory and scary fairy tale that's filled with surreal images. He and his team used light & shadows brilliantly. Now, we didn't love some of the performances and we took issue with the title of the film...

The War Is Everything PodcastS3 #092 Hurry Up & Wait - GenesisYou will not believe the talking-to-song ratio on this podcast, but despite the length of the song, it is well worth the wait. Zachariah continues carrying the torch with Hunter gone and invites on Jordan of Immortal Construct. This band definitely fits into the "lesser known" category of artists that we attempt to feature often, but they won't stay that way for long. Yet again, another criminally underrated band graces our presence as we get to share about them and help promote them. We hope you all have been enjoying The War Is Everything podcast as we approach 100 episodes...

That's right! Donovan from A Life Aligned, a brand new Christian metal band from the Netherlands, joins Zachariah to discuss their new single "Hey, Sugar!". I can assure you that listening to Zachariah's usual whining is worth the moments of hearing Donovan's glorious accent.

The guys get off onto their theological tangents and share some of their thoughts on the modern church and where issues seem to be most commonly in them.

Since their debut on TWIE Pod, Undefeated has released 3 new singles: Choke, Two-Faced, & As You Are. This finishes up the remainder of their 2022 run of song releases and so we get the joy of highlighting their penultimate song and this one is another banger. If you enjoyed their previous song "Future" like Hunter did, then "Two-Faced" is going to be your next favorite song.

Adam shares his thoughts on supporting artists and how skill of the artist plays into that as well as artists feeling less than prepared, skilled, and funded than they should and why that doesn't matter as much as we might think. We must always seek to glorify God regardless of what or how we are doing something. Let that be at the forefront of our mind as we continue forward through...

Chris Johnson joins Hunter to talk about his current project of Ripped Up, a Christian Punk band with plenty of hardcore influence. With Zachariah's absence, you can count on this episode being nothing but wholesome and absolutely no tangents...none at all.

Definition 1; Not deserving attention, effort, or respect.

Zachariah and Hunter bring on the guys of UnWorthy, Dennis and Jordan, to talk about their latest release, Our Internal War feat. Christian Roche of Diamonds to Dust. Hailing from California, this duo makes up the wall of sound that is UnWorthy not only instrumentally and vocally, but also production-wise. A band of this caliber cannot be ignored.

This genre speaks out for those who don't feel like they have a voice or aren't even worth the breath it takes to say what's wrong. Let us reassure you that there is hope and God is listening always. So with that, Zachariah and Hunter bring on Joe Murphy of Lazarus Complex, but this time it's to talk about his side project Parking...

When another person's poor judgment or bad actions lead to our suffering whether small or big, how do we deal with that? Do we stay bitter, seek revenge, or desire retribution by our own standards? No, we take it to God knowing that He suffered by the hands of those He came to save and so in His example, we see how He would serve those who wrong Him. Hunter and Zachariah invite on Mykey and...

Hunter and Zachariah invite on the guys of Sacred Throne, Trey and William, to discuss their single 'Slaughter of a Righteous Lamb, Part 1 (Of Vipers, and Fools...)' and share the background of how this band came to be in its current form.

We can often feel like we are struggling in our faith for one reason or another, but when that doubt and pain start to linger, we can feel like God isn't even there. It is possible to trust God and feel the emotions that we do at the same time. Much of David and the Psalmists' writings speak of despair, anxiety, depression, and pain. Let us not...

Not that anyone would ever wish such a devastating event on somebody, but as Christians we understand that God does not allow us to go through things that are of no significance (though we may never know or understand their meaning or purpose).

We are watched with an intensity and a fervor that goes beyond that of even celebrities and so our actions and interactions matter. As we come out of June and all that that has entailed, many have chosen to allow hatred and malice to fill their hearts concerning others of various belief systems or other orientations. While we can argue that those don't align with God's word and we'd be right to do so based...

As a Christian knowing your purpose and defining it correctly is crucial to the role we play in God's ever-growing Kingdom.

But what happens when we allow ourselves to get caught up in doing Christian related activities without ever deepening our faith or reaching the lost? This is where we find ourselves in Christian Adjacent-ism: a variation of a works-based gospel without the knowledge of who Christ is and what He's done.

And on the flipside, when a member of the body uses correction that turns into verbal abuse, it must be addressed and dealt with for the sake of all who would witness it.

The War Is Everything PodcastS2 #046 Hallelujah! The Lord Almighty Reigns! - CrownsHappy new BFH song day! We are thrilled to have another song release and for Zachariah and Hunter to get the chance to talk about it. This song especially is important to us because while we believe that everything we do is worship in its own regard, this song comes directly from scripture and praises God for His power and authority. Of course that's only one of the 10 topics that the guys get into, but they dive into the power of the Savior we serve, why eschatology(beliefs concerning the end times) matter, and part of the role of...

The guys talk with Morgan of Tundra about their latest single titled 'The Pit' which talks about exactly that. We have a Savior that has overcome all things for us, not that we would never struggle or have trials in this life but that we would put our entire...

This episode is not a pointed finger but rather an effort to throw a lifeline to those who may be sinking after finding out about their favorite Christian [insert musician, pastor, youth group leader, etc.] giving up on the faith and/or abandoning the title of Christian. As teachers of the Word, we have but no choice to teach exactly what...

Join Hunter and Zachariah as they invite Keebler of Collapse//revive back on to talk about one of the most controversial stories of modern heavy Christian music and share perspectives on how grace is to be seen. Christ has offered us immeasurably more grace than we ever could want, but that is not to encourage us to sin that it may be covered.
