How does a former militant atheist and horror filmmaker end up creating a documentary that raises the bar for Christian apologetics films for the foreseeable future? After giving a brief update on the latest Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories, Frank sits down with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, whose transformation from hardened skeptic to Christian apologist is as unexpected as it is compelling.
Michael's new film, 'Universe Designed', premieres on SAT. 12/13 and blends cinematic storytelling with scientific and historical evidence for Christianity, offering skeptics an invitation to investigate Christianity for themselves while also giving believers a fresh tool for evangelism by exposing them to resources that most Christians aren't even aware of. Together they answer questions like:
- What finally broke through Michael’s skepticism and led him to place his faith in Christ?
- Which objections kept him from believing and how did he overcome those objections?
- What compelled him to move from horror films to apologetics-focused documentaries?
- Why do many Christian films fail to persuade skeptics, and how does 'Universe Designed' avoid those pitfalls?
- How can scientific and historical evidence reshape the way Christians share their faith?
- What top Christian apologists make an appearance in the film?
- Why is relying solely on personal testimonies sometimes ineffective in reaching non-Christians?
- Do people really go to Hell simply for not believing in Jesus?
Condensing more than 36 hours of expert interviews into a focused 90-minute feature, 'Universe Designed' presents a scientific, philosophical, and historical case for Christianity unlike most films in the genre. Available on Amazon Prime and other major streaming platforms, this innovative, self-funded $150K project showcases the kind of thoughtful, high-quality filmmaking many Christians have been waiting for!
