Pastor Matt McCaulley

The movie is called "Undefiled," and on this Special Encounter Chris Meikel talks with the film's writer and director, Pastor Matt McCaulley. Matt is with Journey Church in Joplin, Missouri and they have established "Light of Life Films," a ministry that produces faith-based movies. "Undefiled" tackles a very sensitive subject, pornography, with the story of a minor league baseball player. The film depicts how pornography has a negative effect on the individual, his marriage, his family, and every aspect of his life. But ultimately, his personal and family restoration comes through his faith in Jesus Christ. Even Christian men are struggling with the temptation of pornography in their daily walk. Hear the conversation on this Special Encounter on Bott Radio Network.
