Life has its ups and downs. The ups can be wonderful, but the downs can be devastating—especially when one of your downs turns out to be a pit. Many people suddenly find themselves in the depths of almost unbelievable desperation and despair.“How did I get here?” They ask. “And how can I get out?” Perhaps it’s a recent medical report, an issue at work, a financial catastrophe, a family relationship gone wrong—or a combination of events.

On this episode of Walk in Faith, Craig Syracusa is joined by Director Father Tom Gibbons and Producer Maria Elena Pineda to discuss their latest film, Hollywood Priest, the inspiring story of Father Bud Keiser.
Hollywood Priest is an entertaining, provocative and nostalgic, award-winning documentary about a priest who found himself in a different field of ministry: the entertainment industry. The film is narrated by George Newbern (Scandal, Father of the Bride) and features interviews with Hollywood stars: Bob Newhart (Elf, Newhart), Martin Sheen (The West Wing, Apocalypse Now), Marion Ross (Happy Days), John Amos (Roots, Good Times), and Tim Matheson (Fletch, Animal House) to name a few.
The movie follows Fr. Ellwood “Bud” Kieser, a Paulist priest who arrived in Los Angeles in 1957. In the 1960s and 70s, Fr. Bud was able to evangelize the culture through the national television series Insight, a show that featured the biggest stars in Hollywood. But in 1980, when he encountered famine-stricken Africa through a trip with Catholic Relief Services, his ministry and his life-would take a dramatic turn. The movie does not shy away from the struggles and temptations in Fr. Bud’s life, which makes him real and relatable and someone to encourage the people of the Church today to be a missionary at the center of public influence.
The nostalgic documentary airs on PBS WORLD this December:

On this episode of Walk in Faith Author Doug Scott Hall joins Craig Syracusa to discuss his latest book Scar Tissue: Overcoming Parental Wounds Through Faith.
Doug Scott Hall is an inspirational author and speaker passionate about helping others find freedom from their past and move forward with a renewed sense of purpose. Through his writing and ministry, Hall continues to share the message that faith, forgiveness, and community can overcome even the deepest wounds.
Scar Tissue: Overcoming Parental Wounds Through Faith, invites readers on a transformative journey to confront, heal, and rise above the painful impacts of parental wounds. Hall’s story—a moving testament of personal struggle, reconciliation, and unwavering faith—is a guide for anyone searching for peace, purpose, and a way forward through emotional scars.
Scar Tissue is more than a memoir; it is a step-by-step exploration of the “father wound” and broader parental wounds that countless people endure, yet often silently carry. Through Hall’s open-hearted narrative, the book reveals how faith and forgiveness can transform pain into resilience, a theme that resonates with those affected by abandonment, broken relationships, or unresolved emotional wounds.
Drawing on biblical principles and his own experiences, Hall’s book combines introspective reflection with practical tools for healing. “Our wounds may shape us, but they do not define us,” says Hall. “In God’s grace, we find a path to freedom, where even our deepest scars can become symbols of healing and hope.”
Scar Tissue: Overcoming Parental Wounds Through Faith is available now online at Amazon.

Dave Holdt is the Head of Training for Equipping Pastors Worldwide (EPW). He grew up in South Africa but now lives with his family in Yorkshire, England. After leaving school, he studied to be a teacher, but a dream to host his own radio show, coupled with what some might call a ‘lucky break’ led to him dividing his time between the university classroom and the broadcasting studio of the national broadcasting corporation. Having spent a few years hosting his own radio program, he left to enter the world of education, ultimately being appointed the principal of a Christian school, all the while engaging in a lay ministry. A few years later, he was called by a church to be their lead pastor, until he relocated to England with his family nearly 10 years ago where he stepped back into the classroom for a while, and then began working with children and young people with special educational needs. During this time, he put his voice back into action, narrating over 20 Christian audiobooks as well as the King James Bible for Olive Tree. His various roles dovetailed to where he is today, coordinating the training of pastors in the majority world who have never had formal theological education with Equipping Pastors Worldwide. This position has taken him across Africa and onto the Asian sub-continent.
On this episode of Walk in Faith, Craig Syracusa is joined By Director and Producer Richard Hull to discuss his latest project, Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplin’s Journey.
When the remains of prisoner of war and Army combat chaplain Emil Kapaun (perhaps the Vatican’s next saint) are identified after 70 years, much of our nation is captivated by their journey home. As a younger former chaplain unexpectedly embarks on his own journey to greet them, he becomes inspired by the untold stories of the 419 U.S. military chaplain heroes who’ve given their lives for this unique calling. As the paths of these combat chaplains from different eras finally collide, we’re reminded how the profound weight of history and the immense power of love can converge to produce life-changing healing.

On this episode of Walk in Faith, I sat down with Director Andrew Boodhoo Kightlinger to discuss his latest film, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, produced by Balboa Productions. This film will inspire you and encourage reflection on what it means to be a father, a dad, and a positive influence in our children’s lives. Hollywood could take a lesson from Andrew’s book and start creating films with this kind of impactful message. A word of caution—you may want to keep a box of tissues nearby. I hope this film moves you to reflect on your family relationships, just as it did for me.

On this episode of Walk in Faith your host Craig Syracusa is joined by Producers Camille & Emmanuel Kampouris to discuss their latest film Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. This film is based on the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and is one of the most thought-provoking films of this decade, if this film doesn’t lead you to personal reflection, then I’m sorry because I couldn’t stop thinking about the core message throughout the film.
I would love to hear your thoughts!!!
As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, Dietrich Bonhoeffer is swept into the epicenter of a deadly plot to assassinate Hitler. With his faith and fate at stake, Bonhoeffer must choose between upholding his moral convictions or risking it all to save millions of Jews from genocide. Will his shift from preaching peace to plotting murder alter the course of history or cost him everything?

Craig Syracusa is joined by Author and Journalist Matt Sieger to discuss his latest book The God Squad: The Born-Again San Francisco Giants of 1978 on Walk in Faith.
In 1978, some of the born-again Giants were quite open about their faith during post-game interviews. Jack Clark and Rob Andrews were perhaps the most vocal, but Mike Ivie, Gary Lavelle, and Bob Knepper also talked about their relationship with Jesus in interviews. This was a relatively new phenomenon, as Christian ballplayers in the 1950s and 1960s did not speak openly about their faith.

Scott Baio joins me Craig Syracusa the host of Walk in Faith to discuss his latest film God's Not Dead "In God We Trust" Scott and I tackle some important topics like religious freedom, and the power of the Vote, all inspired by his latest film God's Not Dead "In God we Trust"
Reflect on this statistic: 40M Christians don't vote. Get off the Boat and Vote!!!!
God's Not Dead will be released on Sept 12th https://godsnotdead.com/
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is still strange to many, including me, but this film has opened my eyes to this new form of currency and how Bitcoin can change and solve some of the world's problems and give all of us the same opportunity to compete on the same playing field. One of the questions this film discussed is what religious leaders have to say about Bitcoin and how the Bible or the Quran can help address some of these questions.
I will leave you with this reflection question: Can Bitcoin unite us regardless of our faith, beliefs, or differences? Can this digital currency be the missing peace?

MEDICINE MAN: THE STAN BROCK STORY
A timeless documentary adventure recounting the incredible life story of British-born Amazonian cowboy turned US TV star, Stan Brock, who sacrificed everything to bring free healthcare to people in need. At once a heart-warming tribute to the unifying power of volunteerism and an exploration of a perennial outsider’s search for meaning through giving of himself. This film is a challenging and inspirational tale of an unlikely man on an improbable yet unwavering mission to unite a nation and resolve one of the biggest social issues of our time: the US healthcare crisis
ABOUT
Stan Brock was an errant British adventurer who fled his stuffy public school at the age of 14 and boarded a ship bound for British Guiana, where he went on to become an Amazonian cowboy on the world’s biggest cattle ranch. He was later discovered by a TV producer who brought him to the United States and turned him into an anaconda-wrestling wildlife TV star, featuring weekly on “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom”. However, in 1985 Stan decided to forsake fame and wealth for a higher calling.
Stan sold everything he owned and founded a small charity with the aim of bringing basic healthcare to people in the developing world, vowing never to take a salary for his efforts. Yet by 1992, Remote Area Medical had switched its focus to running relief missions closer to home. It now dedicates over 70 percent of its resources to providing free healthcare services to people in the most depressed regions of the US, where millions of uninsured can go for years without seeing a doctor or a dentist. To date, RAM has helped nearly 1 million people through the efforts of more than 172,000 volunteers.
So who was this enigmatic Englishman, and why did he sacrifice everything to bring free healthcare to people in need? This feature-length documentary examines the shocking paradox of pop-up field hospitals in the world’s most affluent nation, while recounting Stan Brock’s extraordinary life story. It is a challenging and inspirational tale of an unlikely man on an improbable yet unwavering mission to unite a nation and resolve one of the biggest social issues of our time: the US healthcare crisis.

On this episode of Walk in Faith, I'm joined by filmmaker David Helling to discuss his latest film "His Only Son", based on the biblical story of Abraham.
It is one of the most controversial moments in all Scripture-- when the Lord God tested Abraham by commanding him to take his son, his only son, and sacrifice him on the mountain of Moriah. This feature film illustrates that striking account, following Abraham, his son and their two servants as they journey for three days to the place of the offering. Along the way, the men encounter dangers and trials as Abraham silently relives memories spanning the decades he and his wife, Sarah, longed for the son God had promised… the son he must now lay upon the altar. Answering age-old questions as to why the Lord would require such a sacrifice, His Only Son profoundly explores mankind's relationship to God and encourages viewers to turn inward and ask: Can your faith still stand when you are asked to give everything?
His Only Son is being released in theaters on March 30th, 2023, for more information, please use the links below::

Justin Batt discusses how to make each moment count and how we need to present and intentional with our children and make epic memories or as he calls it Daddy Saturdays.
Justin Batt Bio:
The purpose of my life is to connect. I'm also on a mission to reignite and restore fatherhood around the world and change the next generation through events, experiences, education and technology that end the cycle of fatherlessness.
I believe that if you win at work, but don't win at home then you haven't won. There's a lot of content on platforms today to help people be a better CEO, entrepreneur and business leader. My goal is to provide content to help people unleash the unlimited potential inside of their kids and raise resilient kids who go out and change the world. I've created a for-profit and a non-profit to create education and experiences that will impact 10 million fathers in the next 10 years and end fatherlessness. As a family we're also living this by creating our own school for our kids called Varsity Prep to train them to be a force for good in the world. I'm a fatherhood coach to individuals, professional sports organizations and corporations and hold mastermind events with some of the top leaders in the areas of faith, family, fitness and finances.
I'm also deeply passionate about helping people tell their stories to the world. As a published author, I can honestly say it's one of the most significant achievements of my life. I desire to help other people achieve the same and build their brand and business by becoming a published author. I have the pleasure of working with entrepreneurs, business leaders, politicians, celebrities, athletes and other incredible people who desire to build their brand and business with a book.
Most people in my life tell me I'm crazy when I describe my passion for Spartan obstacle course racing. It's the single most mentally and physically challenging thing I've ever done in my life and I can't get enough. It's changed the trajectory of how I approach everything in life and I've become extremely comfortable being uncomfortable. My kids participate with me and they have seen the life benefits as well.
My wife Heather Batt is an incredible entrepreneur and I support her women owned business 100% and have done so for the last 14 years. In fact, that's how Daddy Saturday started as I found myself at home all day on Saturdays with our four kids while she ran her business.
I have a B.S. in Sports Marketing from Clemson University. GO TIGERS!!!
Our home life is full of excitement as my wife and I raise our four children, 13 highland cows, 2 miniature ponies and run our modern working farm, Airbnb and host events at "True South Farm" outside Nashville, TN.
