“International art dealer Ron Hall must befriend a dangerous homeless man in order to save his struggling marriage to his wife, a woman whose dreams will lead all three of them on the journey of their lives.”

That’s the synopsis for the Paramount-Pureflix movie “Same Kind of Different as Me”. WNZR’s own Daria Swisher had the chance to talk with the movie’s producer Stephen Johnson.

Stephen talks about how he found the story for the movie, the casting process for a movie like this, and the message he wants people to walk away with.

2018 MVNU Women’s Auxiliary

jennifer Shaw (1)

MVNU has the amazing opportunity to host the Women’s Auxiliary Retreat again on campus this year! We would like to welcome Jennifer Shaw, an award-winning speaker, author, singer, and songwriter.

Warm. Real. Funny. Intelligent. Engaging. These are some of the words people use to describe Jennifer Shaw. But her favorite? “Christ-follower, absolutely,” she said. With a love for people and a heart to serve God, Jennifer wants nothing more than to point people toward the One who has changed everything in her own life.

WNZR’s own Marcy Rinehart had the opportunity to talk with Jennifer about her life and the upcoming Women’s Auxiliary Retreat!

Jennifer talks about all the different roles she plays and how she ‘juggles’ them all as well as talking about her music, her book “Typical” and her family. She also talks about the message that God has placed on her heart for women and the topic for this years Women’s Auxiliary Retreat.

It is National Day of Unplugging. How will you celebrate?

National-Day-of-Unplugging-Second-Friday-in-March

The second Friday in March is National Day of Unplugging.  This holiday consists of a 24 hour period from sundown to sundown, to unplug, unwind, relax and do things other than using today’s technology, electronics, and social media.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Take a break from technology and use #NationalDayOfUnplugging to post on social media the day before to spread the word.

So, why is this day important?
Well, let’s be honest. Many of us deal with technology addiction.
https://www.desiringgod.org/ has a great article that talks about smartphone addiction and our spiritual ADD. Click HERE to read the entire article.

In this article, Tony Reinke, Senior writer for desiringGod.org asked you to finish this sentence: As I evaluate my life right now, my use of social media [Facebook, Twitter, Instagram] is . . .

(A) . . . under control, limited, and healthy.

(B) . . . not controlled or restricted, but also not having a negative influence on my life.

(C) . . . uncontrolled and unhealthy. I check my social networks compulsively throughout the day, and it’s probably not good for me.

What is your answer?

Tony Reinke offered five concerns and then followed with five practical responses.

Concern 1: Our Spiritual ADD
Concern 2: Losing Our Worldview
Concern 3: Losing Our Filters
Concern 4: Posturing an Image
Concern 5: Living Disembodied

Solution 1: Study the Disconnected
Solution 2: Fast from Your Phone
Solution 3: Write a Letter by Hand
Solution 4: Use Filters
Solution 5: Acknowledge God in Technology

 

Click HERE to read the full article and to gain insight on each concern and solution.

For our Morning Thing Fave 5 today, we shared our 5 favorite ways to UNPLUG. Try one today for yourself!
