“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

AN UPLIFTING CHRISTIAN AUTISM STORY: (suitable for family-friendly TV or streaming series)

President Donald Trump recently cited that autism rates have been dramatically rising since the 1970s, From 1 in 10,000  births to 1 in 31 children born n 2025 (1 in 45 adults). My autistic grandson has developed a film story idea called Stephen's Redemption. It explores the challenging and lonely world of an autistic teen. It is a timely and powerful Christian story that focuses a spotlight on issues many autistic people face and  holds up a candle of Christ's hope and love for those dealing with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

 


Logline: After his mother's untimely death, autistic teen Stephen Pierce flees his alcoholic father's Montana ranch with nothing but a bag of clothes and his rusty old truck (leaving behind his dog ). Homeless, friendless and jobless, everything seems to go wrong for Stephen, until he meets a pastor's daughter who helps him find faith, purpose, meaning and a place where he and his dog belong.


My grandson, Carson Pound (23) has Asperger's syndrome (high-functioning autism). Despite this, God has given him an exceptional talent: Acting. (see his IMDb here). He has been in the acting industry since the age of 10, and is a graduate of the Vancouver Film School. Carson recently developed an excellent story idea for a Christian, family-friendly 3-part series for TV or streaming service, called Stephen's Redemption. He made a short video about his story idea. See here
