Finding Wonderful: Matt Mikalatos on Jimmy Stewart, Faith, and the Movie “Jimmy”

What made Jimmy Stewart so wonderful? On this episode of Two Pastors, Popcorn and a Movie, we sit down with author Matt Mikalatos to talk about his new book, Finding Wonderful: Hopeful Lessons from Jimmy Stewart and It’s a Wonderful Life, and the new film Jimmy, coming to theaters this week ( November 6th, 2026).

Matt co-wrote the book with Aaron Burns, the director of Jimmy, and it carries a foreword from Jimmy Stewart’s daughter, Kelly Stewart Harcourt. Together they look at the man behind George Bailey: a Hollywood star who left the spotlight to fly bombers in World War II, came home carrying the weight of war, and found his way back through one of the most beloved films ever made.

We talk about how Stewart lived out decency off screen as well as on it, what his story says about faith, service, and humility, and why It’s a Wonderful Life still speaks to families and churches today. If you’ve ever teared up at “Zuzu’s petals,” this one’s for you.

Grab the book, catch Jimmy in theaters, and gather your family and your church to see it together. Then grab some popcorn and listen in.
