Christianity

Credits

We want to help you see the teachings of Jesus in the movies you love.

“Credits” is a podcast where we take a look at movies through a biblical lens. We believe that many times the most powerful moments or ideas in cinema resonate with viewers like us because they are a reflection of something true. Scripture is our ultimate basis for truth, and we believe that the story of Jesus is the greatest story ever told. So we think that filmmakers can unknowingly illustrate powerful truths from God’s word in their art.
