Fiercely Feminine | Lisa Bevere | ep 89
4w ago01:02:58Tap to summarizeThis Sunday is Mother’s Day, and in a world that often blurs, diminishes, or outright attacks what it means to be a woman and a mother, I can’t think of a better time to re-air one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had on The Britt Mayer Show:Britt sits down with Lisa Bevere, NYT best-selling author and co-founder of Messenger International, to explore the vital roles of WOMEN, faith and family in today's culture.

The Book vs The Movie: Animal Farm Review
May 100:14:22Tap to summarizeAnimal Farm By Angel Studios | Movie Review: How Does It Compare to Orwell’s Classic?Is the new CGI Animal Farm adaptation a faithful warning against tyranny… or a watered-down, kid-friendly slop that misses Orwell’s point entirely?In this "under 15" bonus episode of The Britt Mayer Show, we break down the new 2026 animated film — star-studded voices, chaotic humor, and all. We compare it directly to George Orwell’s powerful 1945 novella: the Russian Revolution allegory, the corruption of Animalism, Napoleon (Stalin), Snowball (Trotsky), the betrayal of the working animals, and that chilling final line: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”From the book’s sharp anti-totalitarian satire to the movie’s potty jokes, slapstick, and softened edges — we cover the major differences, what works, what fails, and why the original still hits harder today.Drop your thoughts below: Worth watching with the kids, or stick to the novella?Help us keep bringing you the unfiltered stories that matter:👉 Like if you value real literary analysis over Hollywood dilutions👉 Subscribe & hit the bell for more culture, politics, faith & health from a biblical, conservative mom’s worldview👉 Share this with friends who love classic literature and want honest takes on modern adaptations!Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, X & YouTube.
