Movies.

\n

I really like them.

\n

And according to the billions of dollars Hollywood spends each year to make movies, I\u2019m guessing a lot of you like movies, too.

\n

In fact, if you are a mom reading, \xa0you may even look forward to the gathering of your little ones each week for \u201cfamily movie night\u201d.

\n

But do you struggle, like I do to find movies everyone\xa0wants to watch? Or even a movie that will help you think more than lose brain cells?

\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if you could relax, enjoy a movie with your family AND teach your children more about God\u2019s great big story?

\n

Well, my good friend, Amanda White (OhAmanda.com)\u2026who also likes movies and loves Jesus\u2026and I want to help your family do just that.

\n

In today\u2019s episode entitled, \u201cFamily Movie Moms\u201d we share a lot of our theories/philosophies about movies and\u2026 a new vision.

\n

Our goal is to 1)write frequent family movie discussion guides 2) broadcast a regular feature on the GCM podcast, called \u201cFamily Movie Moms\u201d. Each show will include current movies reviews and ideas/questions to help teach your kiddos how to see truth and gain discernment as they view entertainment.

\n

In today\u2019s episode we chat about (quite\xa0a few things):

\n

• personal family screen time limits
• the effects of video games on our kids
• how much t.v. we watched when we were kids
• recording movies on our VCR & renting Beta tapes
• why we write family movie discussion guides
• thoughts on \u201cThe Lego Movie\u201d & \u201cDisney\u2019s Pirate Fairy\u201d
• being counter-cultural and yet engaging culture
• teaching our children discretion when watching shows (not to emulate everything they watch).
• thoughts on \u201cHow to Train your Dragon 2\u201d & \u201cFrozen\u201d
• difference between watching a movie once & meditating on a movie
