Fallen Angels Backstory? "Gabriel and the Guardians" creator Jason Moody Jan 02, 2025

Jason Moody is the creator of Angel Studios brand-new fantasy anime series Gabriel and the Guardians, which tells an incredible fantasy story inspired by the book of Genesis, the book of Enoch, and the mythological context of the Ancient Near East.

It's part Chronicles of Narnia, part Similrillion, part Dragon Ball Z, and it's deeply informed by the biblical scholarship you'd find in from Michael Heiser, John Walton, and the Bible Project.

Jason Moody is the Founder and Creative Director of Colossul Studios and the visionary creator behind the highly anticipated animated series, Gabriel and the Guardians.

In this episode, Paul Anleitner discusses with Jason Moody the strange contextual world of the Bible and how he was inspired to create a fantasy series that could explore some of that world and some of the deepest ideas of the Bible.
