Ordinary Angels

Dune: Part Two is cool and all but no one's talking about Ordinary Angels starring Alan Ritchson and Hilary Swank?

Laura and Russ dive into this amazing true story and take a look at what it means for Christians and general audiences.

Be sure to check out the interview Russ had with Ordinary Angels Producer - Andy Erwin (Director of I Can Only Imagine and American Underdog)
