One thing I admire about Richard G. is that he is all or nothing! If he thinks God said do it he jumps in with no reservations and drags as many others with him as he can! He definitely has faith to believe for the impossible! He is not afraid to look foolish or admit that he was wrong about something! I know he seems to live in a make believe world sometimes but God can use his childlike faith to do something others would be afraid to do. I wont judge him because I dont think God is through with him yet!
That is the value of body life, where we can test our dreams, visions and words from God with those in our life that have discernment. Prophets need and are required to submit their words/hearing to other prophets for testing. For that matter submitting to the clear priorities found in scripture (I Cor 14; Thess.5; I John)
I have in the past loved Richard, he was very instrumental in walk with God regarding prayer, this vision to make movies in my opinion was not his calling and has sidelined him.

It is news to me that he is still in the org. We have known him and his family for some time. We had a close relationship with him on the mission field. I have been following his story with interest over the last few years. He has been making several movies that have not really gone anywhere and there are tons of articles about him online. Some make for really interesting reads. I just pray for them and their church.

It has long been my belief that many people cannot tell the difference between the "Voice of God" and the heartburn assoicated with eating too much pizza too late at night.

I sure you admire his lack of discernment......

It's Star Wars meets the Ten Commandments. A $50 million, no, make that $100 million futuristic fantasy film (with funding coming from "the Germans") that a San Francisco pastor said he was commanded to make by that Studio Chief in the Sky. The story would be far too weird to believe had doc filmmaker Michael Jacobs not captured it all on film.
He played his Audience of One at last weekend's True/False Festival (which, quick pitch, is the hippest festival in the UNIVERSE and, quick disclaimer, I do some writing for), continuing a festival run that includes wins at the Bend, SXSW, Silverdocs and SFDoc fests.
Our hero is Pentecostal Pastor Richard Gazowski, who seems to spend much of his Sunday sermon preaching the gospel of big-budget indie cinema. He watched his first movie at 40, has never directed anything, but anticipates making the biggest blockbuster ever. One thing going for Gazowski: He's persuasive enough to talk a bunch of people in working for him (and his wife agrees to sell their house to cover a trip to Italy to shoot the exterior scenes).
As he stalks the Italian set wearing an outfit that could have been lifted from a spoof of Orson Welles, Gazowski wrangles with his neglected actors (found via Craigslist), leads prayer sessions and urges on his design crew to create ever-more-wacked futuristic costumes and sets. Anyone who has seen Burden of Dreams, Lost in La Mancha or Hearts of Darkness knows how this narrative unfolds: Everything goes wrong. When Gazowski returns home, he and his quest to make the movie gets weirder. And weirder. And funnier
RG lost his mind many years ago. A fringe nutter if there ever was one.
He's been out of the org for decades now hasn't he?
Seems to me he was discussed on this forum (or one of its predecessors) a while back and the UPC tried to disfellowship him and he went to court and stopped the process or the UPC backed off or something like that. Maybe someone who knows will see this and set the record straight.
