Dean Butler Interview

PRAIRIE MAN: My Little House Life & Beyond (on sale June 25, 2024; HC, $28.00) by Dean Butler shares the behind- the-scenes of Little House on the Prairie on a heartfelt journey of “good luck, good television, and the very good— if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so.” Cast as Almanzo, Laura Ingalls’ starring love interest, Butler captured the enduring affection of fans and co-stars alike. With a foreword from Melissa Gilbert (Laura) and Alison Arngrim (Nellie), this uplifting memoir follows Butler’s journey from childhood to the Prairie and beyond.Cast at twenty-two years old, Butler had no idea of the lasting impact being cast in Little House on the Prairie would have on him. Having previously starred in Judy Blume’s Forever with Stephanie Zimbalist, Butler was fresh- faced and naïve to Hollywood, eager to make his mark. He found his home in the Prairie and embraced his fellow cast members as family. Butler’s passion for honest-to-goodness entertainment began in the Prairie and followed him throughout his rich career of acting, producing, and directing.

Kevin Downes Shares The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Friend of the podcast, Kevin Downes shares his thoughts on the latest from Kingdom Story Company. The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Featuring Lauren Graham. Screenplay by Ryan Swanson and Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel.

Special Sermon - Life is Like a Mist

In a significant deviation from his usual approach, Pastor Boston delivered this sermon entirely from the heart, without the aid of notes or outlines. The context of the sermon was particularly poignant, following a week where Pastor Boston had conducted multiple funerals. These experiences brought him to a profound reflection on life, death, and the various facets of the Christian faith. This sermon, born from a week of contemplation and sorrow, became a powerful and touching message, resonating deeply with the congregation. Recognizing the impact and universal relevance of his words, Pastor Boston felt compelled to share this sermon with a broader audience through his podcast. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith, hope, and resilience in the face of loss, offering comfort and inspiration to listeners from all walks of life. "In these trying times, the teachings of faith can offer much-needed solace and perspective. It is my hope that this sermon can provide that to anyone who listens," Pastor Boston remarked. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/edboston/message
