On this week’s episode of the Simple Talk, host Wayne McCullough discusses the docu-drama film he co-produced, called The Heart of Man. It delves into the troubles of an oversexualized world and shares people’s stories of pain and journeys to faith. McCullough took on the project after learning about the epidemic of sex trafficking in the United States.
He says it opened his eyes to a different world and one he felt he had the resources to help shed light on. Throughout this week’s episode, McCullough returns to the intersection of struggle and faith. He asks us to take a moment to consider a question posed by renowned composer and non-profit leader Tony Anderson: “What if my brokenness was a bridge to God and not a barrier?”
