The RELEVANT Podcast

Today we're joined by one of the most influential filmmakers in Hollywood, Paul Greengrass. He's behind countless huge movies (like the Bourne films), and talks to us about his latest release, the Tom Hanks hit News of the World. We also have RELEVANT News, which tackles the troubling recent surge in federal executions, this week's RELEVANT Recommends, and on a lighter note, the second installment of our new segment, "What's Jesse Thinking?" Of course, it has to do with the CIA and aliens.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/relevant-podcast/support Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/relevantpodcast.

Today's show is stacked! We have the team behind Pixar's newest hit movie, 'Soul' — co-director Pete Docter (who's also Pixar's chief creative officer and behind 'Up,' 'Inside Out' and others) and producer Dana Murray.

We also have the final installment of our wellness series, talking health and exercise during quarantine with none other than Lecrae.

To kick off 2021, we're joined by pastor and author Levi Lusko.

Plus, we tell you about the brand new issue of RELEVANT, featuring Pharrell (and a lot more!), the cast brings slices and we have your feedback. And did we mention Jesse's not feeling great and Derek might have to carry him?

Today we're joined by leadership guru and pastor Andy Stanley. He tells us the keys to make good decisions and avoid regrets — insights we can all use. It's a can't-miss conversation. Plus, we have Slices — from definitively learning the all-time best Christmas movies to the breaking news of a Galactic Federation and alien involvement with our government. (For real.)

Today, we talk to Kel Mitchell, who you know from 'All That,' 'Goodburger' and tons of other shows. He has a new one debuting on MTV next week — 'Deliciousness.' We talk to him about that project, as well as his faith (he's an outspoken Christian and, yes, a youth pastor) and his work to help kids. It's a great conversation. Plus, we have RELEVANT News and our wellness segment, where we talk to Dr. Chris Zalesky about the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers, and how Christians should handle the pandemic. And Tyler wears a very interesting sweater.Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/relevant-podcast/support Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/relevantpodcast. Hosted on Acast.
