All-Time Top Films for Deep Culture Impact

Tonight the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award the 2015 Best Picture, yet the academy missed most of these “Deep Culture” Impact films. Will this year’s winner one day join this august company?

Odds are Brad Pitt and the TWELVE YEAR’S A SLAVE producing team will win best picture Sunday night. Yet history reveals that, when it comes to picking a film that will be recognized as truly great twelve years from now, Oscar voters often miss the mark.

Welcome to Two-Handed Warriors! A humorous name for a friendly conversation exploring the (false) dichotomies that often divide us: faith vs. science, social justice vs. witness, business vs. ministry, art vs. STEM, culture-making vs. church planting, spiritual formation vs. theology, Hollywood vs. higher education, professional studies vs. the liberal arts.

We dream of helping foster a movement of friends helping one another lead lives of other-centered service supported by both the life of the mind and the life of the Spirit. Anyone aspiring to become as ambidextrous in their life and leadership as Inigo Montoya was with his sword.

En-garde!

-Gary & Sue
