Yesterday we sent out an e-mail from LOOR pointing out the Mormon connections to The Chosen, more specifically VidAngel. A lot of people confused our message, thinking we were saying that The Chosen cannot be a good series if it was created by Mormons.
Not the case at all.
In fact anyone that knows us, knows we believe that pagans can make great content. The Mandalorian is a good example of that.
The point of the e-mail was actually deeper than that.
It's that media is propaganda. It's used to tell stories, and good stories allow good
story tellers to become leaders and influencers in a culture.
Liberals have known this for years.
The Mormons know this too.
They have spent significant money on BYUtv, VidAngel and other media ventures as a means to get into your families homes and obtain mainstream
credibility.
Much in the same way Hollywood snuck in homosexuality and now they are forcing it into every production, Mormon's are starting to do that with their media ventures.
This was proven beyond any doubt by The Chosen hosting a worship special for Christmas with
Evangelical and Mormon artists combined.
The purpose of that e-mail was not a commentary on the quality of The Chosen. It was a statement as to it's POWER.
The success of The Chosen is the very reason why VidAngel needs a competitor who has a firm understanding of the Gospel
and wants to build a media powerhouse that doesn't just reach Evangelicals, but can reach the entire world.
In order to do that, we have to be very clear about our intentions now as to gather investors with a
backbone. Investors that know exactly our mission...infiltration with a battering ram.
To hide our intentions would attract investors that force our hand to gain mainstream credibility. Or would attract Marxist investors. Or worse we would be lying to our investors.
We cannot put on the kings armor.
We think we can make art that True, Beautiful and Good and attract mainstream credibility for those very specific reasons. Because no one else is doing it.
My firm belief is Hollywood and Christian Media as a whole are uncircumcised philistines
and our only way to win is to be the small little shepherd boy that is mocked by the giants. It cannot be done without faith. So the crazier we appear to the world, the better.
People bet against David, and they lost big time.
But those that bet on that little shepherd, won big
