Can a Hollywood biblical epic truly honor Scripture—and reach hearts in the process? In this
special episode of The Greg Laurie Podcast, Pastor Greg Laurie sits down with acclaimed
Christian filmmaker Jon Erwin—director of "Jesus Revolution" and Amazon Prime’s new series
"House of David"
—for a candid and inspiring conversation on faith, filmmaking, and the
challenges of bringing Bible stories to life on the big screen.
Together, Pastor Greg Laurie and Jon Erwin unpack what it means to create art that’s both
culturally compelling and biblically faithful. From "Jesus Revolution’s" emotional authenticity to
the monumental storytelling in "House of David,
" they explore the creative process behind
translating Scripture into a visual language that resonates with modern audiences—without
watering down truth.
Hear how Jon Erwin approaches biblical accuracy (“This is a love letter to Scripture, not
Scripture itself”), why the "House of David" series has the power to point viewers back to the
Bible, and what it was like shooting spiritual milestone moments like the baptism scene at
Pirates Cove. You’ll also discover the remarkable influence of Jon Erwin’s upbringing—rooted in
Scripture memorization, classic films, and a family legacy of bold faith—and practical advice he
offers for aspiring Christian creatives.
Two must-hear moments include:
●
●
The inside story behind casting David and producing a series for a global Prime Video
audience—delivering truth to millions in 25+ languages.
A moving real-life account of how a film brought an 85-year-old man to faith and to the
waters of baptism at the very place where revival history was made.
Whether you love faith-based films, want to deepen your understanding of biblical storytelling, or
need encouragement to pursue your own God-given dreams, this episode offers invaluable
insights and heartfelt wisdom.
