Paul experienced something extraordinary—a revelation of the third heaven. But instead of boasting about what he witnessed, he chose to speak about his weaknesses. Why?

In today’s message, Gary explores 2 Corinthians 12 and the Apostle Paul's remarkable testimony. From Paul's persecution and suffering to his mysterious experience of being caught up into paradise, Gary explains why Paul considered humility more important than extraordinary spiritual experiences.

A Revolutionary War story with drumlines, family fracture, and a Christmas heartbeat sounds like a gamble, but that’s exactly why we wanted to talk about it. We sit down with Joel Smallbone from For King and Country to unpack Drummer Boy, a bold new Angel Studios film that leans into big music, big emotion, and a big moment in American history.

Joel walks us through how “The Little Drummer Boy” followed his band for years, then slowly turned into an idea that could carry an entire feature film. We get into the creative risk of making a period piece musical without losing the weight of the story, what it’s like collaborating with seasoned actors, and why music can say things dialogue simply cannot. If you’ve been searching for a family-friendly movie with strong production quality and a pro-faith, pro-America tone, this conversation gives you real context before you buy tickets.

We also talk honestly about the hard parts of telling Founding era stories today, including how Drummer Boy addresses slavery without turning the entire narrative into a cheap shot at the Founders. Then we zoom out to the practical side: opening weekend matters, theaters matter, and turnout determines whether movies like this stick around through the Christmas season.
