Can Christian themes hold their own against blockbuster franchises like "Fast and the Furious" and "Iron Man"? Join us as Todd Freeman, a seasoned filmmaker turned ministry director, shares his insights on the power of "suspension of disbelief" and how it allows audiences to embrace even the most fantastical elements in storytelling. We explore why Christian filmmakers have been slow to harness this tool and discuss how authentic stories like "A Most Reluctant Convert," the film about C.S. Lewis, can bridge the gap between faith and film.
What if Christian movies went beyond the wholesome Hallmark feel? In our conversation, we challenge the stereotype and push for a new era of faith-based storytelling characterized by realism and relatability. By examining films like "The Apostle" with Robert Duvall, we illustrate how flawed, complex characters can resonate with broader audiences while subtly conveying profound Christian themes. It's about crafting narratives that speak to the human experience, transcending the boundaries of traditional Christian media.
Can a Christian horror film be both authentic and spiritually enriching? Todd Freeman thinks so, and he draws from his unique upbringing under a Baptist minister father who introduced him to both horror movies and the gospel. We tackle the potential criticisms and discuss the significance of films like "The Passion of the Christ," which set a precedent for raw, unfiltered biblical storytelling. The aim is to create impactful films that stand on their own as great art while opening doors for deeper conversations about faith, much like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.

Do you have a dream to reach people with the gospel, but feel stuck? There is hope for you.
Join us on an incredible learning journey to discover, develop, and deploy your calling to bless the world around you with the love of Jesus!
