The Reason for Roadblocks
Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, I talk with Lee Dickerson, host of the Black and White Review podcast and plays the role of Malcus in the upcoming short film, Shema. Lee shares the story of finding his way through roadblocks to transformation, and the importance of healthy families. The overall theme of his journey is that anything can be redeemed.
About Lee
I'm a father, a son, a worshipper, musician and a podcaster. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not..God changed my life 10 years ago and is continuing to transform my, and my family's, heart. My love for film and music has been a great way to strike up conversations with non-believers and to express a new perspective of how God can speak to us through entertainment mediums that may not have been intentional by the creators. He works all things for good and I love seeking out new examples of that.
