‘In the Heart of the Sea’: Power and Pathos But Little Prayer

Last updated on: December 10, 2015 at 8:41 pm By Kate O'Hare

One of the grace notes in Peter Weir’s masterful 2003 film “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” was its casual, occasional yet accurate insertion of faith into the story of a brash British ship Capt. Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) of the HMS Surprise, hot on the trail of a dreaded privateer during the Napoleonic Wars. There are prayers recited, and it’s obvious that most of the crew is familiar with Bible stories, but oddly, my favorite line... Read more

‘Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors’ on NBC: ‘Faith, family and love are the most important things in life’

Last updated on: December 9, 2015 at 4:12 pm By Kate O'Hare

It was a moment in a little girl’s life that became a country classic. Premiering Thursday, Dec. 10 on NBC, “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” isn’t a biopic or a musical based on the country singer’s whole life. Instead, it focuses on an incident when Parton was 9 years old, as she and her close-knit family in Tennessee’s Great Smokey Mountains in 1955 struggle to overcome a devastating tragedy. Along the way, a handmade patchwork coat — the TV... Read more

Scott Weiland’s Ex-Wife and Children Lost the ‘Sweet Catholic Boy’ Long Before His Death

Last updated on: December 8, 2015 at 11:33 pm By Kate O'Hare

On Dec. 3, news broke that 48-year-old Stone Temple Pilots lead singer Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus. No official cause of death has been released, but there was cocaine on the bus, and Weiland had a history of drug addiction.

Former OSU and NFL Player Who Lost Wife to Cancer Learns to Accept God’s Will

Last updated on: December 8, 2015 at 10:51 am By Kate O'Hare

It’s easy to accept blessings from God when good things happen in our lives, but in moments of fear, pain and loss, it’s only natural to wonder where God is, whether He loves us, why we are being punished, and how a good and loving Savior would ever allow mishaps and tragedy to befall those who love Him. This question has long troubled believers and challenged belief itself, and it’s one that everyone winds up asking at some point in... Read more

Jordan Smith of ‘The Voice’ Says ‘Hallelujah’

Last updated on: November 30, 2015 at 11:37 pm By Kate O'Hare

Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” has a beautiful, plaintive melody paired with vaguely Old Testament-ty lyrics that, if not exactly anti-religious, are religiously ambivalent. Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw...
