A CHRISTIAN Story?! Exploring the #1 Fantasy Show in America with Jeremy Boreing

Christians have plenty of truth to share. But why does “Christian entertainment” sometimes struggle to tell a great story? What if the problem isn’t the message, but how we tell it?Frank sits down with producer, cultural commentator, and Daily Wire co-founder, Jeremy Boreing, whose latest project puts those ideas to the test. As the writer and director of the highly successful, 'The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin', Jeremy has seen a 30-year dream become the #1 fantasy series on Amazon Prime Video. What did it take to get there, and what can its success teach Christians about faith, art, and the stories we tell?Tune in as Frank and Jeremy unpack questions like:Why was sharing and developing this story so important to Jeremy?Why do Christians sometimes struggle to make great entertainment?What did C.S. Lewis understand about Christian art that we sometimes miss?Why does Jeremy believe the Arthurian myth is fundamentally a Christian story?What's the difference between cultural Christians of the 90's and cultural Christianity today?What makes The Pendragon Cycle different from Game of Thrones, Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings?How can you effectively communicate a Christian worldview without turning your story into a sermon?Why is storytelling such a powerful way to communicate truth?Where do materialism and naturalism fall short in answering life’s biggest questions?And just when you think this conversation is all about entertainment, it takes a much more serious turn.
