Workbench #1, Rising From The Ashes, Quantum Reflections, & Making Half A Feature Film

from Moviemaker Ministry · host Proffittable Productions

In this episode of Moviemaker Ministry, Thomas Proffitt explores the profound intersection of independent filmmaking and Christian faith. Reflecting on his current journey of making his first feature film, Thomas discusses the "ashes to diamonds" transformation that occurs when we allow God to prune away our idols and lead us through spiritual warfare. From deep dives into superstring theory and quantum physics to practical advice on multi-camera production efficiency and the necessity of the "Groaning Prayer," this conversation is designed to be an all-encompassing resource for creators and believers alike. Learn why Thomas believes that starting before you are ready and "storming the hill" is the only way to see God move mountains in your life and career.
