As a filmmaker, a lot of times it feels like my life is a movie -- I'm not sure if the hard circumstances that arise in my and my family's lives to overcome major obstacles and trials are there to help me understand other folks who are suffering and better express it out there on the screen to minister to them-- or my situations are no different than others and I see my life as a movie simply because that's what I do and that's how I see the world... or just that God sees fit to burn away more of the chaff in me because my potential to reach lots of people - and in representing him I need to be pure -- because one error has potential to mislead scores of people. There's certainly a lot at stake for us as filmmakers-- it's no easy walk. Good question — what kind of story would our lives be on the big screen?

There’s certainly a lot at stake for us as filmmakers– it’s no easy walk.
