Finding Wonderful: Matt Mikalatos on Jimmy Stewart, Faith, and the Movie “Jimmy”

What made Jimmy Stewart so wonderful? On this episode of Two Pastors, Popcorn and a Movie, we sit down with author Matt Mikalatos to talk about his new book, Finding Wonderful: Hopeful Lessons from Jimmy Stewart and It’s a Wonderful Life, and the new film Jimmy, coming to theaters this week ( November 6th, 2026).

Matt co-wrote the book with Aaron Burns, the director of Jimmy, and it carries a foreword from Jimmy Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart Harcourt. Together they look at the man behind George Bailey: a Hollywood star who left the spotlight to fly bombers in World War II, came home carrying the weight of war, and found his way back through one of the most beloved films ever made.

We talk about how Stewart lived out decency off screen as well as on it, what his story says about faith, service, and humility, and why It’s a Wonderful Life still speaks to families and churches today. If you’ve ever teared up at “Zuzu’s petals,” this one’s for you.

Grab the book, catch Jimmy in theaters, and gather your family and your church to see it together. Then grab some popcorn and listen in.

He Calls Me Daughter, directed by Rick Altizer, explores the deeply personal relationship women can have with God as their Heavenly Father. Through honest stories and thoughtful reflections, the film shows how understanding God’s fatherly love can bring healing, identity, and purpose. Rather than focusing on theology alone, the documentary highlights real-life journeys of women discovering what it means to be loved and called “daughter” by God. It is worth watching because it offers encouragement and hope, reminding viewers that their value is not defined by the world but by a loving Heavenly Father who knows them personally.

This film is a moving documentary that allows us to travel through parts of the world that many of us Christ follows never get to visit. In a social media saturated planet the idea of Darwinian Evolution has now convinced the majority of young adults to reject the Bible as the Word of God.

Kevin Sorbo journeys with John Lennox to explore what we can do to save the ones we love. Dr. Lennox is famous for debating others and makes the proof easy for the viewer to understand so that we can remember and share the proof with others.
