Movies. I really like them. And according to the billions of dollars Hollywood spends each year to make movies, I’m guessing a lot of you like movies, too. In fact, if you are a mom reading,  you may even look forward to the gathering of your little ones each week for “family movie night”. But do you struggle, like I do to find movies everyone wants to watch? Or even a movie that will help you think more than lose brain cells? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could relax, enjoy a movie with your family AND teach your children more about God’s great big story? Well, my good friend, Amanda White (OhAmanda.com)…who also likes movies and loves Jesus…and I want to help your family do just that. In today’s episode entitled, “Family Movie Moms” we share a lot of our theories/philosophies about movies and… a new vision. Our goal is to 1)write frequent family movie discussion guides 2) broadcast a regular feature on the GCM podcast, called “Family Movie Moms”. 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. In today’s episode we chat about (quite a few things): 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 “The Lego Movie” & “Disney’s Pirate Fairy” being counter-cultural and yet engaging culture teaching our children discretion when watching shows (not to emulate everything they watch). thoughts on “How to Train your Dragon 2” & “Frozen” difference between watching a movie once & meditating on a movie this quote: Connect with Amanda: Twitter :: Instagram :: Facebook :: Blog Show Notes: “Pirates of Penzance” “Wizard of Oz” Phil Vischer Podcast “The Lego Movie” Family Discussion Guide (GCM) “Disney’s Pirate Fairy” Movie Discussion Guide (OhAmanda) “How to Train your Dragon 2”  “Frozen”  Help out the “family movie moms” by letting us know what movies would you like us to review?
