Ross Reynolds interviews Bryan Storkel, the co-director of a new documentary called "Fight Church" about cage fighting Christian ministers, and Preston Hocker, one of those ministers who is known as the "Pastor of Disaster."
The documentary is about a group of martial arts devotees who believe that they are following their Christian beliefs by entering the ring for brutal mixed martial arts matches. It asks the question "Can you love your neighbor while kneeing him in the face?"
Hocker said, "I think I can show the love of Christ wherever I'm at, in any situation, whether it's fighting or mowing my neighbor's lawn."
The documentary shows at the Seattle International Film Festival this weekend.
