LIFE
Why Faith-Based Thrillers Are Having a Moment in Christian Cinema
Christian cinema is entering a more adventurous era. As faith-based filmmakers move beyond predictable inspirational formulas and into survival, suspense, danger, and moral tension, a new question is emerging: Can a thriller make us hold our breath and still make us think deeply about faith? GospelRhythms explores the rise of faith-based thrillers, the stories behind the fear, and why audiences may be ready for Christian films with real stakes, honest questions, and spiritual depth.
THINKING OF YOU, MICHAEL S. BAKSH — Remembering 9/11: The Loved Ones We Lost and the Memories We Carry.
Remembering 9/11 is more than recalling a date in history: it is honoring the people whose lives, laughter, dreams, and love continue to matter. GospelRhythms shares this heartfelt tribute to Michael S. Baksh, a cherished friend whose memory remains a blessing 25 years after September 11, 2001. With faith, compassion, and dignity, we remember the person beyond the tragedy and reflect on the call to live forward with greater love, gratitude, and hope.
With God: What Does It Really Mean When Life Won’t Let Up?
When life will not let up, faith is not pretending the pressure does not hurt—it is choosing to believe God is still present in the middle of it. This powerful GospelRhythms reflection explores what it means to live with God through unanswered prayers, uncertain seasons, hard decisions, and the space between no longer and not yet. Because with God, we do not have to deny the battle to believe we can survive it—and even win while we wait.
Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife: The Mica Miller Story Is a Cautionary Tale About Faith, Control and Guarding Your Heart
She was a worship leader. She was a wife. And when Mica Miller said she was afraid, too many people did not move fast enough. Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife: The Mica Miller Story is more than a true-crime documentary—it is a wake-up call for the Church about the line between godly leadership and spiritual control, and what it really means to guard your heart. GospelRhythms sits with the hard questions this story raises so we can learn to listen, protect people, and never confuse a title with the throne that belongs only to Jesus. Read this one with your whole heart.
When the Strong Are Hurting: Remembering Alphonso Smith Jr. and the Battles We Cannot See
Behind the helmet, behind the highlights, behind the strength, Alphonso Smith Jr. was fighting a battle too many of us could not see. In a reflection that will move your heart, GospelRhythms remembers the man beyond the NFL headlines—and the sacred truth that even the strong need someone to notice, because the Lord stays near to the brokenhearted. This is for the fighter, the griever, and the friend who wants to help. Read it. Share it. Then check on the people you love.

Labor Day Rest: What the Bible Really Says About Resting From Your Work
The cookout is planned. The weekend is here. But can you actually stop? This Labor Day, GospelRhythms asks the question your soul has been waiting to hear—what does the Bible really say about resting from your work? From Sabbath rhythm to Psalm 23, from Matthew 11 to Hebrews 4, this is a faith-filled invitation to lay down the pressure, silence the guilt, and receive rest as a gift, not a reward you have to earn. If you are tired, this one is for you.
