Yes, I’m a skeptic. Yes, I’m a cynic.

And I’ll say this as a bit of a confessional… I am a follower of Christ and believe that there are no good Christian movies out there.

I’m constantly having people in ministry or at church tell me to watch movies like “Left Behind,” “Facing the Giants” and “The Sin Eater.” But, let’s be honest, they’re terrible. Bad acting, writing, cinematography… the list goes on. They’re cheesy, preachy and just plain crap.

So are there any good Christian movies out there? I don’t believe that there are.

If you disagree, prove me wrong… I’ll watch the movie and review it here.

[note: I'm looking for honest entries here. If it stars Willie Aames, I know you're messing with me and I'm not going to waste my time]

I was reading a movie review this morning and ran across the word: zeitgeist. I had no idea what it meant, so I looked it up and found something interesting. Learning a new word is good thing, but this was a really interesting word.

zeitgeist (n) - the spirit of the time; the spirit characteristic of an age or generation.

So it led me to ponder this question, when considering youth ministry/culture…

What would you say is the zeitgeist of this generation?
