☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️

“I press on toward the goal

to win the prize

for which God has called me

heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

– Philippians 3:14

Did You Miss *America Reads the Bible* or Want to Relive the Blessing — See Details Here:

Last week, the America Reads the Bible event unfolded in a truly beautiful way in Washington, D.C., as nearly 500 voices came together at the Museum of the Bible to read God’s Holy Word aloud.

It was a powerful and uplifting week, bringing together people from all walks of life... pastors and ministry leaders, current and former politicians, actors and actresses, Christian musicians and worship leaders, and so many others, all united in sharing the truth and light of Scripture.

It was especially meaningful to see familiar faces from Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel, and other networks take part, using their voices to honor the Lord. I so enjoyed every moment I was able to watch, along with my family, but of course we were in and out during the week - with work, errands, etc... so it's been nice to go back and catch any of the ones we missed.

If you happened to miss any of this inspiring event and would like to see it for yourself, you can watch it FREE through Great American Pure Flix - click here to watch.

What a blessing it was to see God’s Word proclaimed so boldly; I pray it blesses you as it has me and so many others who watched throughout the week!

ON SEASON 2,

 ORIGINAL SERIES, 

‘CROSSROAD SPRINGS,‘

 AS AUDIENCE MOMENTUM BUILDS

 ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

NEW YORK, NY – April 30, 2026 – Great American Media announced today that production is underway on Season Two of its Original Series, “Crossroad Springs,” following the show’s strong performance and growing audience across the company’s platforms. The uplifting, faith-driven drama resonated deeply with viewers seeking meaningful storytelling rooted in family, community, and the enduring power of hope. The series stars Jonathan Stoddard, Emily Alatalo, Brittany Underwood, Kate Drummond, Shaun Johnston, Jesse Hutch, Jillian Cardarelli, Jon McLaren, and Erin Agostino. Season Two of Crossroad Springs is slated to premiere this Fall, streaming on Great American Pure Flix and premiering on Great American Family and GFAM+.

Set against the backdrop of a rural farm community where faith and fellowship guide the way, “Crossroad Springs” explores the interesting lives of characters navigating love, loss, purpose, and the life-altering decisions that shape who they become. Through moments of challenge and triumph, the series reflects the belief that even in uncertainty, with faith, there is always a path forward.

“Great American Media has been intentional from day one about building a lasting library of quality programming – hundreds of hours of original movies, specials, and series that reflect our values, meet the expectations of our audience, and uphold the storytelling standard our brand represents,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Original Series are an essential part of the strategy because they give viewers the opportunity to return to beloved characters and communities, deepen their emotional connection to our stories, and engage with our platforms in more meaningful ways. The success of our series, including ‘Crossroad Springs,’ affirms the strength of this approach and represents our continued investment in premium faith and family entertainment that is foundational to Great American Media’s growth and to one of the most valuable libraries in the industry,” Abbott concluded.

In Season Two of “Crossroad Springs,” James continues to lead the Cowboy Church with conviction and compassion as the weight of responsibility grows heavier, testing both his resolve and his calling. Janet faces a pivotal crossroads in her professional life, while Aunt Amy remains the steady guiding presence whose wisdom and grace anchor all around her. Willis faces challenges growing the herd and expanding the ranch, while Daniel’s carefully structured world is disrupted by an unexpected visit that raises more questions than answers, setting off a ripple effect destined to touch everyone in Crossroad Springs.

I'm delighted the cast of "Crossroad Springs" is now filming, and it's wonderful to hear that season 2 will have more special, inspirational moments led by Pastor James at the Cowboy Church. Are you excited for season 2, as well? Please share in comments below.

In a previous post, I shared a premiere date that was given in an on screen promo for "Crossroad Springs" season 2; that date was Sunday, August 9th. Since this press release does not mention that premiere date, I'm wondering if there may be a change in plans. Stay tuned for any updates.

Press Release via Great American Media:

The multi-generational
holiday story pairs
Lopez and Danza
as father and son,
Dominic Lopez
to star as Mario Lopez's
onscreen son

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Great American Media today announced Emmy® Award-winning actor and producer Mario Lopez ("Access Hollywood," Once Upon A Christmas Wish), beloved television, film, and stage icon Tony Danza (Who's The Boss?, "Taxi") and Dominic Lopez (Once Upon A Christmas Wish, Chasing Christmas) will star in the upcoming Original Christmas movie, Christmas at The Starlight, premiering as part of Great American Christmas across Great American Family, Great American Pure Flix, and GFAM+.

In their first known scripted on-screen pairing as father and son, Lopez and Danza bring extraordinary warmth, charisma, and generational appeal to a timeless holiday story about family, legacy, faith, and the traditions that lead us home. Adding an even more meaningful multigenerational dimension, Dominic Lopez stars as Mario Lopez's son in the film, deepening the story's emotional portrait of fathers, sons, and the lasting bonds between generations.

Set in a close-knit American town, Christmas at The Starlight centers on The Starlight, a beloved local supper club and longtime community gathering place where generations have come together to celebrate music, family, and Christmas traditions. Frank (Tony Danza)—a legendary song-and-dance man—prepares to sell the family's beloved restaurant lounge after 40 years. With the future of The Starlight in question, three generations of family are drawn into an emotional journey that reminds them what is worth preserving — and how faith, family, and home can quietly lead us back to where we belong.

"Mario Lopez, Tony Danza, and Dominic Lopez create a remarkable generational throughline for Christmas at The Starlight," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. "At its heart, this film is about legacy — the lessons passed from father to son, the traditions that anchor families, and the cherished places where memories become part of who we are. Bringing Mario and Tony together as father and son, with Dominic continuing that lineage on screen, gives this story a rare authenticity and emotional resonance that perfectly reflects the spirit of Great American Christmas."

Abbott continued, "Great American Christmas has become one of the most beloved seasonal destinations in entertainment because viewers trust us to deliver stories filled with heart, hope, and enduring values. Christmas at The Starlight is a beautiful expression of that promise, and this multigenerational cast makes the film especially meaningful for families who gather together year after year."

"Working with Tony Danza as my father in this story is incredibly special, and having Dominic play my son makes it even more personal," said Mario Lopez. "Christmas at The Starlight is about family, honoring where you come from, and recognizing the traditions and people that shape your life. Great American Media has built a Christmas brand families believe in, and I'm proud to be part of a movie that celebrates those values in such a heartfelt way."

Executive Produced by Mario Lopez. Mark Roberts and Jeff Stearns are producers. Directed by Jody Hahn from an Original Screenplay written by Megan Henry Herzlinger and Brian Herzlinger. Christmas at The Starlight will premiere during Great American Christmas.

My Quick Take:

I'm so thrilled to see these three will be working together. I can just imagine already how wonderful they will be! And you might have caught in the video above that Mario mentions the movie might include a little song and dance - so I'm hoping we'll see a little tap dancing with all three of them!

And I know this is really exciting news for any of you who have enjoyed watching Who's the Boss and Saved by the Bell... it's an 80's/90's sitcom dream come true!

Have a Merry Day!
