#8 Pastor Nate And Lynze Mewhort, Eternal Evidence Of An Internal Process
In this episode of Moviemaker Ministry, host Thomas Proffitt sits down for an in-depth conversation with Pastor Nate and Lynze Mewhort. Together, they explore what it truly means to live a life shaped by the gospel, moving past the generic "snapshots" of cultural Christianity into authentic, lived-out faith. They explore the concept of faith as a lifelong marathon, unpack the dangers of superficial "Facebook faith," and address the phenomenon of "Ninja Christians" who try to walk with God entirely isolated from a local church community. In the second half, Thomas pulls back the curtain with Nate to examine the internal weights of pastoral ministry, sermon preparation, and the painful yet liberating process of detaching one's identity from a dream in order to fully surrender it to God.

#7 Mike Fatula, Walking The Path Of Spiritual Healing
In this episode of Moviemaker Ministry, host Thomas Proffitt engages in a marathon conversation with Mike Fatula titled "Walking the Path of Spiritual Healing." Mike opens up about the "dead" Mike of the past—a man defined by business success and worldly accolades—and the radical transformation that occurred when he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. This episode isn't just an interview; it's a vulnerable exploration of what happens when two men of faith bring their wounds into the light. From discussing the specific mechanics of prayer and the dangers of modern secular spirituality to the beauty of a God-ordained marriage, this episode serves as a guide for anyone feeling "at the end of their rope."
