A Chat With Pastor Dave Lombardo

I'm crazy excited to share today's episode as we are joined by longtime friend and brother in Christ Pastor Dave Lombardo for the newest entry in our A Chat With series. Dave is someone I've had the blessing of knowing and growing with for 15+ years, and someone the Lord has used to speak into and help shape me. Dave is a teaching and site pastor with Upper Room Community Church and was wonderful enough to take some time out of his busy day to do the podcast with us. 

You can find out more about the Upper Room Community Church by heading over to their website: https://www.upperroom.ca/

 

Hope you enjoyed today's episode and that the Lord spoke to you during it. And please share and subscribe if you can.

 

God bless my friends!

Let's Talk About - Black Panther with Steve

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we are rejoined by our awesome possum of a friend Steve Lambert. We're looking at and sharing our thoughts on the newest entry into the MCU, Black Panther! Hope you all enjoy the episode, please share and subscribe, and let us know your thoughts in the comments! God bless my friends!

Let's Talk About - Disney buying Fox with Steve

Kudo's to China Daily for that image. We're back with Steve Lambert talking about the formerly breaking news of Walt Disney buying Fox Studios (something that, months later, some surprisingly haven't heard). Steve and I look at why this deal excites us as comic book fans, some of the potential downsides, and how this is a huge deal in the film industry.  Hope you all enjoy the episode, please share it if you can, and please let us know what you think of this deal - is it awesome, is it bad, what do you think?! I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts! God bless my friends!

Let's try to Talk About - Batman with Mike Naulls

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we are joined by longtime friend and film-maker Mike Naulls and we're looking at Batman! Or I should say trying to. As we try to focus on Batman in film, we get sidetracked with thoughts on the upcoming Solo and (then upcoming) Black Panther, various actors, and go down the rabbit hole of inside jokes. This episode is a great snapshot of how conversations go with life-long friends, and hopefully, you'll have as many laughs as we did. Hope you all enjoy the episode, please share it if you can, and please let us know what you thought of our conclusions...and what your favourite Batman movie is! I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts! God bless my friends!

Let's Talk About - The Star Wars Prequels with Steve

Much like the internet, we're back to the Star Wars Prequels! Today's episode revisits those muchly disappointing (but meme-creating-machines) films with our dear friend Pastor Steve Lambert. We look at what we think went wrong, what possibly went right, the Clone Wars CGI show, and if they are salvageable or if they should be remade. Hope you all enjoy the episode, please share it if you can, and please let us know what you thought of this trilogy! I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts! God bless my friends!

A Chat With Pastor Hector Miray from Faith & Fandom

 

I am beyond excited to share with you today's episode, the newest in our A Chat With series featuring none other than the wonderful Hector Miray from Faith and Fandom. As y'all know, Pastor Hector and the Faith and Fandom is someone who inspired me to start doing the podcast and has become someone I really look up to - I love that people are able to organically find the gospel in geek culture - so just a heads up, at points I go full on fanboy. Hector was awesome enough to take some time out of his busy day to share about his story, some of his favourite movies and comics, influences, and how the Lord is using him to reach out to those in geek culture. This episode was a blast!

A Chat With Al Craig

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, I'm thrilled to share with y'all an interview I had the blessing of doing with Al Craig from Living Rock Ministries. Al established Living Rock Ministries in 1985 as an outreach to street-involved youth, which has grown to an agency known around the country and very involved in helping the youth in need in Hamilton. Al was gracious enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to share about his life and Living Rock with us today.

Let's Talk About - Star Wars: The Last Jedi with Steve

Today's episode revisits Star Wars: The Last Jedi (because I can't stop talking about Star Wars), and also features our dear friend Pastor Steve Lambert. Steve is another life-long Star Wars fan, and he had a much different take on the film then I did - which is what happened across the Star Wars fandom, which is interesting. Hope you all enjoy the episode, please share it if you can, and please let us know what you thought of the movie! I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts! God bless my friends!

A Chat With Alex White

Today's episode is an interview that has been a long time coming, and one I'm super excited to share. Alex White is an awesome fellow I've had the benefit of knowing for a number of years as a friend, a brother in Christ, and a brother in law! Alex owns and operates an excellent cafe in Toronto called Baddies, and is very involved in his church C3, and was great enough to join and share his wonderful perspective with us.

Let's Talk About - Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I am a life-long Star Wars fan, and this movie is very divisive - it had a lot of bad and nonsensical things, but it had some really solid stuff too. Let's Talk About - Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

What did you think of The Last Jedi? Are you one of the few who are in the middle ground with it? How would you rank it in the Star Wars franchise? Heck, what's your favourite Star Wars movie? Let me know in the comments!!

Thank you for listening, hope you enjoyed, and please share if you can. God bless my friends!
