I’m also looking to see if it’s something that I can take my girls too. I think that’s the advantage we’ll have always over the so-called mainstream entertainment media. I mean that’s the advantage that faith-based films have. Our foundation is on an absolute truth that does not change regardless of culture. So, the edge that I think Christian films or faith-based film has is that we are balanced. They’re trying to come up with stories – and a lot of times it’s fiction – but we, as believers – whether we write fiction or not – it’s all based on a truth that we know to be true and we know where that truth comes from and we know the God that we serve. We’ve talked about that already but I think Hollywood is trying to fabricate it from the pieces that they see around them. I think what they’re missing is (that) everyone’s on a journey. JWK: Do you think that the so-called mainstream Hollywood media is missing something by neglecting these kinds of uplifting stories and messages? Let me tell you how that affected (me) through Nothing is Impossible.” So, that is the opportunity and it’s very humbling. Let me tell you how that affected me as a woman through Mom’s Night Out. Let me tell you how God affected my dad through Courageous. It’s always followed by “Let me tell you what God did through your movie. You know, people don’t go to Tom Cruise and say “Hey, Mission: Impossible changed my life!” Nobody does that – but when people recognize me, sincerely, what I love is that…it’s never about me. I mean a little more in the southern Bible Belt than in other places but, certainly, it happens quite frequently.

JWK: Do you get recognized often when you’re out on the street? I think with film, when you have Christian messaging on the driver side of this, it’s an amazing opportunity to give people hope, give them inspiration and show them a perspective that perhaps they didn’t see before, to see what God may be calling them to do. That is the unique thing about this art form – just like theater was that, and continues to be that. When you see something on screen you know that it’s not real but yet you experience it as if it were real. I think film has the unique ability of doing that because (it) takes you on a journey.

RA: I hope they walk away with hope, inspiration and just a new perspective. JWK: What do you hope people take from these films? I tell everybody about it (and) to subscribe because you get the most amazing powerful Christian content that’s available. They are just hitting it out of the park! It’s an outstanding service. But, you know what? Even better, I like to say Pure Flix is the Pure Flix… They are outstanding! Great service! They’ve got a great partnership now with ( Sony). RA: It absolutely is! Pure Flix is the Christian Netflix, for sure.
