Where Jesus Walked w/ Craig Dehut | Ep 92

Video producer Craig Dehut shares how Appian Media set out to solve a problem: the world needed well-made, bias-free, biblically accurate Bible films shot in the lands of the Bible and offered free. Craig walks us through Gethsemane (why Jesus likely watched the arresting party approach across the valley), the Sea of Galilee (a large lake you can see across), and Bethlehem (why a cave manger fits first-century reality better than our wooden nativity scenes). We talk “holy imagination” vs. speculation, using media with discernment, and why visuals help modern readers grasp geography, culture, and the grit of the text. Plus: their trips to Israel, Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and Jordan; the Seven Churches of Revelation; and a long-term plan to film Genesis → Revelation. Watch their films and behind-the-scenes on YouTube or appianmedia.org.And as always, we start off the episode with what is bringing us joy and we know you will be so encouraged by this conversation.
