Talking about the "things that matter most" on July 8

4:00 – A History and Stories of Walt Disney and Disneyland
“The thing will get more beautiful year after year. And it will get better as I find out what the public likes; I can’t do that with a picture it’s finished and unchangeable before I find out whether the public likes it or not.” – Walt Disney on Disneyland. Next week is the anniversary of the opening of Disneyland, a disaster of a day for Walt Disney. Hollywood’s story-teller, Stephen Schochet is here to give us some little-known details about Walt Disney and his ambitions.

4:20 – The Language of Science and Faith: Straight Answers to Genuine Questions
Christians affirm that everything exists because of God--from subatomic quarks to black holes. Science often claims to explain nature without including God at all. And thinking Christians often feel forced to choose between the two. But the good news is that we don't have to make a choice. Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. Karl Giberson is here to show how we can embrace both.

5:00 – The Summer of Duds at the Movie Theater
Summer blockbusters! It’s a film tradition each and every year. Steven Greydanus is here to look at this summer’s film fare.
