Groundbreaking Film ‘The Ark and The Darkness’ Unveils Undeniable Evidence the Bible’s Great Flood Did Happen, in Theaters TODAY & TOMORROW!

Hello World,

Happy Spring!

I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Noah’s Ark, and I know that I have so much more to learn about this miraculous moment in history. That’s why I’m excited to share this this information with you! See below…

Filmmakers Genesis Apologetics and Sevenfold Films announce the release of their groundbreaking new documentary, “The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,” which sets sail in theaters this week, Wednesday, March 20, and Thursday, March 21, 2024, from Fathom Events. This long-awaited cinematic voyage unveils not only undeniable evidence of Noah’s flood but also the astonishing parallels between Noah’s flood and the end times, carrying a very pertinent message for humanity today. “The Ark and The Darkness” depicts the epic tale over 4,000 years old, preserved in ancient writings from every major culture around the world. Many thought it was only a myth, but recent discoveries confirm what the Bible has said all along.

Answers in Genesis President, Ken Ham said, as part of his endorsement of the film in regard to Noah’s flood, “This is a documentary-style movie with some impressive animation, and it features various interview segments with a number of creation scientists, including some from Answers in Genesis (such as AiG’s geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling, paleontologist Dr. Gabriela Haynes, and researcher and speaker Dr. Terry Mortenson).”

Below is the trailer:

 

“‘The Ark and The Darkness’ proves and illuminates the great flood of the Bible is historical,” said Dr. Dan A. Biddle, President of Genesis Apologetics and executive producer of the film. “We are excited to introduce an arsenal of evidence that is both irrefutable and compelling.”

Tickets are on sale NOW — purchase through Fathom Events.

Most of the church — and the world — today either ignore the Genesis flood or believe it wasn’t global and/or recently, that it wasn’t geologically significant, and that the age of the earth doesn’t matter. But if it really happened — and happened when the Bible says it did — it can be a life changer.

“Genesis Apologetics and Sevenfold Films seek to set our culture straight,” says Biddle. “We know from the Bible that the past is the key to the present. Understanding the flood is crucial to understanding why the world is the way it is today, not just from a geological standpoint, but to understanding humanity.”

“The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,” promises an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of conventional storytelling and demonstrates the filmmakers’ unwavering passion for crafting a high-fidelity film of biblical proportions. Their goal is to present the most Biblically accurate representation of Noah’s flood ever released in theaters.

“Our co-producer and director Sevenfold Films does an amazing job crafting the most photo-realistic representation of Noah’s flood to ever be in the theaters,” says Biddle. “We seek to counteract the distorted picture of Noah and the ark continually represented in our modern entertainment, such as the fictionalized movie, “Noah,” which distorts the Bible in a nonsensible way. We also address our culture’s imbedded presupposition of evolution, and its lack of awareness of the facts and evidence.”

The information presented in the film, “The Ark and The Darkness: Unearthing the Mysteries of Noah’s Flood,” by Genesis Apologetics and award-winning Sevenfold Films’ director of Genesis: Paradise Lost, Sevenfold Films, through interviews with leading Biblical apologists and Creation Scientists, shows the latest scientific evidence pointing to Noah’s flood. Ancient history, volcanism, the fossil record — all of these and more converge on one simple point: Noah’s flood is not a myth, it actually happened, and more recently than you might think. Filmed at the Answers in Genesis “Ark Encounter” (full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark) in Kentucky, with interviews filmed at Liberty University Bible Museum, this movie features a team of leading scientists, including Dr. John Sanford (Genetics, Logos Research Association); Dr. Gabriela Haynes (Paleontology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Andrew Snelling (Geology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. John Baumgardner (Geophysics, Liberty University); Dr. Terry Mortenson; (Theology/Geology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Charles Jackson (Professor/Theology, Points of Origin Ministries); Dr. Tim Chaffey (Theology, Answers in Genesis); Dr. Randall Price (Theology/History Liberty University); Dr. Andrew Fabich (Microbiology, Truett McConnel University); and Dr. Carl Werner (Medical Doctor, Evolution, Grand Experiment).

Genesis Apologetics provides Christian families with Biblical Creation training to help them stand strong in the faith. They are committed to providing Biblically and scientifically-based answers to the evolutionary theory that many children are taught in public schools. Their mission is to strengthen the faith of God’s children by grounding them in biblical truth and equipping them to discern error, one divine appointment at a time.

If you haven’t read “The Ex Files,” below is the description:

There are four ways a woman can handle heartbreak: she can fall apart, seek revenge, turn cold, or move on. In The Ex Files, four women find faith, friendship, and healing under the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Hailed as “an excellent storyteller . . . one of our best” (Eric Jerome Dickey), national bestselling author Victoria Christopher Murray proves it so with this powerful, faith-filled novel of four women and the different ways they handle heartbreak.

Kendall, Asia, Vanessa, and Sheridan each have an “ex” in their lives. Whether from a broken marriage, the shocking loss of a loved one, or a shattered bond of trust, the pain is real and the wounds deep. Will they ever heal? When their pastor asks the foursome to meet weekly for prayer, they can’t imagine they will have anything in common. Then a devastating tragedy strikes and these strangers are forced to reexamine their choices. Will they find true friendship? Or will prayer— and their circle of support—be enough to see them through?

Check Out ReShonda Tate Billingsley’s Movie ‘The Secret She Kept’ TONIGHT & Book Signing TOMORROW!

the secret she kept resized

Hello World,

First of all, my prayers and condolences are with the families of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and the Dallas police officers. Honestly, I’m still processing it all…More on that later…But if you’re home tonight and need a diversion, this is a pleasant option…

TV One is shedding light on mental health in the Black community during National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month with the premiere of its original movie, The Secret She Kept, this Sunday, July 10 at 7 p.m. ET (encore at 9 p.m. ET). Inspired by the best-selling novel of the same name by NAACP Image Award-winning author ReShonda Tate Billingsley, TV One’s original feature film, The Secret She Kept, immerses viewers in the story of a prominent family that lets shame, confusion and misunderstandings about mental illness send them down a tragic path.

secret 1 resized 1Kyla Pratt (Recovery Road, One on One, The Proud Family, Dr. Doolittle) stars as beautiful, high-powered attorney Tia Jiles, who has just married the man of her dreams, successful magazine executive Lance Kingston (Gavin Houston, The Haves and the Have Nots, Guiding Light), and is on the brink of launching a major political campaign when a pattern of erratic behavior uncovers her secret: she suffers from mental illness.

“So often, we trivialize that someone is just ‘crazy’ and we don’t recognize that mental illness is real and relevant. I wanted to show not only was this something that deserved our attention, but that we shouldn’t be ashamed to seek help. If our bodies are sick, we get help. I wanted to de-stigmatize the shame that often keeps us from seeking treatment when our minds are sick,” said Billingsley. “I am grateful The Secret She Kept has been turned into a movie. While the book did exceptionally well, the platform TV One provides will hopefully get more people talking about what so many people see as a dirty little secret.“

The Secret She Kept is an exploration of the impact of mental illness on families, which is far too often closeted in the African-American community and provides a thought- provoking and inspirational story which addresses how far to go to save a loved one when they’ve kept a dangerous secret for years. It’s a question facing Lance (Houston) whose recent marriage to Tia (Pratt) seemed to promise a bright future for both of them. But under the surface, a fierce and frightening storm was brewing. That’s because Tia never revealed to Lance what she and her family, especially her mother Virginia Scroggins Jiles played by Kellita Smith (Z Nation, The Bernie Mac Show, The First Family), have known since Tia was seventeen: she has an illness that takes over her mind, transforming her into a woman struggling with bi-polar and schizoaffective disorder both privately and publicly. Determined to end the cycle of secrecy, Lance, along with his sister Beverly Kingston (Vanessa A. Williams, Soul Food, Melrose Place), set out to convince Tia to resume her medication and enter treatment.

reshondaViewers are encouraged to participate in a nationwide Twitter Party with Billingsley during the movie’s premiere on TONIGHT July 10, 7-9 p.m. ET using the hashtag #SecretSheKept.

The Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month (July) was announced in May 2008 by the U.S. House of Representatives to enhance public awareness of mental illness and mental illness among minorities. The resolution was sponsored by Rep. Albert Wynn (D-MD) and cosponsored by a large bipartisan group, to also improve access to mental health treatment and s ervic es , and pro mo te public awarenes s o f mental illness. More information is available on the National Alliance of Mental Illness website.
