In this video, I dive into the controversial topic of faith-based films and why many people believe that Christian movies often fail to deliver compelling stories. In my full-length video essay, explore the issues behind corny acting, preachy scripts, and the focus on "safe" storytelling that targets a narrow audience. We’ll discuss examples like God’s Not Dead and Miracles from Heaven and why these films miss the mark.

As Christian creators, we serve the Master Storyteller, so why are we falling short? It's time to shift our focus to great storytelling and stop relying on shallow, preachy narratives. In this video, I explain how Christian filmmakers can elevate their craft by creating authentic, raw stories with rich characters and captivating worldbuilding—stories that reflect real life without losing sight of faith.
