00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 2: Brad and Joel, thanks for joining me.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: Hey, it's great to be here. Thank you.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: Brad Gray and Joel Edwards of the new documentary film

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: The Lord's Prayer. This is an amazing film and verse

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: anything like it. Brad you're the host, Joel, you are

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: the director. It's streaming on Angels streaming platform. The Lord's

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Prayer dot Com is the website. By the way, if

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: people want to check that out. It takes viewers. I'm

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: going to read this here for you. It takes viewers

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: on a cinematic journey through the ancient world to rediscover

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: the meaning and power of the most well known prayer

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: in history. For both of you, why a film about

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: the Lord's Prayer? Yeah, it's for me.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: It started actually seven years ago without any thought of

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: doing a film or a television series or a book

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 3: or anything on the Lord's Prayer. I was literally just

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: reading the Sermon on the Mountain. When it gets to

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: the moment where Jesus is about to give the Lord's Prayer,

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: he prefaces it by saying, this, then, is how you

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: should pray.

22
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: And I just had a moment where I was like, oh.

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: Man, I think he actually meant this and it had

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: not been something that had been really central to my life.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: I'd been a pastor for more than a decade, I'd

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: been living in the Middle East for a part of

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: my educational journey, been leading study trips, and even then

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: this was not a central part. And so it really

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: just started with my own journey into the prayer to

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: better understand what was going on there. And when I

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: realized how deep and wide and compelling it was, when

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: we started to talk about doing a documentary film and

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: television series, we were like, Man, everybody knows the Lord's Prayer,

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: but nobody knows the Lord's Prayer.

35
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Like, let's flesh this out.

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: For people and in a very beautiful, compelling, high cinematography,

37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: high teaching. Let's get people to these locations and allow

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: them to experience the prayer like they've never experienced it before.

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: Joe, why did you want to be involved? Yeah, I

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 2: think kind of taking off.

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Bread there, the idea of this prayer and your familiarity

42
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: with it. Everyone's heard it, even you know, if you

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: pray it daily, if you just know a little bit

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: about the Bible, if you live you know, in Western culture,

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: in most places of the world right now, you probably

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 4: understand this a little bit, this concept of our father

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: in Heaven, you've at least heard it, But do we

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: really understand it?

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: And do we really know what Jesus was doing when

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: he said this is how you should pray? And that

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: really compelled me. You know, It's like, well, that's pretty clear.

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 4: And so there's so many parts in the New Testament

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: that I think, you know, if you're in the church,

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: we reference it a lot, we read it over and

55
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: over and over. But this feels like this was really overlooked.

56
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: It feels like that is there's a lot of gems

57
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: here that are hidden, and there's potentially vast understanding historically

58
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: contextually for what it meant to them then and then

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: what it could mean.

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: To us now. And so I was really compelled by

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: that vision when Brad brought it to us. And I'll say,

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: in a lifetime of storytelling and filmmaking, you know, I

63
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: do this full time. So we're constantly getting pitches, ideas, stories,

64
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: what about this? Where are some new things, whether it

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: be in the past or in the future. There's a

66
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: new angle, a new lens. I hadn't seen anything like

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: this before, and it was a very ambitious project that

68
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: Brad and his team brought to us. It is filming

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: all over the world all sorts of different sacred and

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: holy sites in the Middle East that are very challenging

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: to get into logistically, even if you do get permission,

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: filming in those locations is challenging. And apparently we're a

73
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: sucker for challenging projects, because we're like, that sounds great.

74
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: That's about the hardest thing we could try to do

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: during COVID and then now recently during the war over there,

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: and so there are endless stories of only God moments

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: where we experience literal miracles getting into places or getting

78
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: out of places. So it's just been an absolute pleasure

79
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: and just joy of an adventure to partner with Brad

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: and to help bring the story to audiences. I think

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: it's going to be something that people.

82
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: Really again, whether you know the Bible well or don't

83
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: have much experience or kind of staying away from it.

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: You're like, I don't know about that old krusty stuff.

85
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: This is really gonna turn heads. This is really going

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: to give people a new lens in which to see

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 4: one of the most overlooked and potentially undervalued pieces of scripture.

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Ever, are there misconceptions.

89
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: Or maybe even overlook truths in the Lord's Prayer that

90
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: you guys want to highlight in this I'm sure there

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: are several, give us.

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: One or two.

93
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: We don't have to talk about all of them.

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, just even taking something like holy be your name,

95
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: you know which you go, well, why does God's name

96
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: mean to be holy? And what does that mean? You

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: know that that your name is holy? And it's just

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: a word in Hebrew cadosh, which means to be set apart,

99
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: distinct other than. And it's really in the prayer a

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: plea that God would be seen for who he truly

101
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: is distinct other than. But one of the biggest reveals

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: that we talk about even in the film is that

103
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: all throughout the Hebrew scriptures, when God rescues and redeems

104
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: the children of Israel out of Egypt, he brings them

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: to Mount Sinai and he says, I want to partner

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: with you, and I'm going to put my name on you.

107
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: You're going to bear my.

108
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Name, and how you choose to live your life is

109
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: going to let people know what I am like. So

110
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: carry my name well, which is by the way that

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: you shall not take the name of the Lord your

112
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: God in vain. Literally in the Hebrews says you shall

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: not miscarry my name or carry my name flippantly. And

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: the idea is that if you claim to be a

115
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: follower of Jesus, you're representing him in the world. And

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: this is just a daily reminder that the decisions we

117
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: make matter, that people are watching our lives, and are

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: we giving people an accurate representation of who God is

119
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: and what he values. And it's just one of many

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: nuggets all throughout the Lord's Prayer where you go, oh,

121
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: I've heard that, but I haven't really heard it.

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: In that way, or I never knew that it was

123
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: in the Lord's Prayer.

124
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 3: You know. That was one of the big kind of

125
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: aha moments for us, and putting this together was The

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: Lord's Prayer is really a blueprint for daily living and

127
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: it is the most concise place in all of Scripture

128
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: for understanding who God is, why Jesus came, and what

129
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: are purposes here on earth.

130
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: This has shot a location in the Holy Land or

131
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: throughout the Holy Land. As you said, Joel, why was

132
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: that important and what were some of your favorite spots?

133
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: Thank you for both of you.

134
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, this film showcases some areas, locations, and sights that,

135
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 4: to our knowledge haven't seen cameras before, at least cinema cameras.

136
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: Several scenes in this movie have never had a cinema

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 4: camera in them before filmed. And a lot of that

138
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: was because we were attacked by Iran while we were

139
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: there and everything was shut down on there were no

140
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: doors and they're like, come on in. So one of

141
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: the one of the many just miracles in this hole

142
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: in this whole production. You know, the idea of seeing

143
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: something for yourself, experiencing it for yourself really changes everything.

144
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: You can hear a story from someone, but we all

145
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: know when you go to the place and you see

146
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: it for yourself, it's different. This is the difference of

147
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: listening to music you know, on a streaming service, are

148
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: actually going to the concert and being there with the

149
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: actual performers. It's so much more rich. It's four dimensional,

150
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: five dimensional opposed to one or two dimensional. And one

151
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: of the things that you know, this has been the

152
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: driving force for this movie is that because of circumstances

153
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 4: and reality, ninety nine point nine percent of believers will

154
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: never go to the Holy Lands. They just won't be

155
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: able to do it logistically, financially, physically, and so yes,

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: we're talking about the Lord's prayer, but the context of

157
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: that is the place where did it happen, Where were

158
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: these words given, Who was the audience it was given to,

159
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: what did it mean to them? So you need to

160
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: go to the place. The place is so important, and

161
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: so our hope with this film is that it will

162
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: be a virtual cinematic pilgrimage for so many other people

163
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: across the world that they'll be able to actually understand

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: when you're talking about, you know, the amount of beattitudes

165
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: and the Sea of Galilee and the people that live

166
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: there and what their context was like. You need to

167
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: be able to see that. And if you can't get

168
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: there yourself and can't physically stand there, the next best

169
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: thing would be a truly high production value cinema experience,

170
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: and that's what we were trying to bring to this

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: and so much of the motivation behind it is let

172
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: people as much as they can digitally stand in and

173
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 4: taste and see and smell these areas, and so we

174
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: hope that our best efforts were to do that with

175
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 4: the super high end cameras and lenses that we were

176
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: using and really working hard to get the positions in

177
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: the angles that really truly show it in its best way,

178
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: its best form.

179
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: Brad, this might be for you. How do you hope

180
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: this film changes the way people pray the Lord's Prayer

181
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: in their daily lives or you know, if it's something

182
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: loves to say the Lord's Prayers a model, how do

183
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: you hope this change the white people pray? Yeah?

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, our goal has always been that

185
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: as a result of people watching this film and the

186
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 3: forthcoming television series and the book, reading the book, that

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: they'll never go another day of their life not saying

188
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: this prayer. That they're going to want to say this prayer,

189
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 3: not as a crusty resuscitation of saying something that you've

190
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: said over and over and over again, but that people

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: are going to go this is oxygen to the soul,

192
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: Like for me to be able to center myself around

193
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: these words to understand what I'm praying. That they'll just

194
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: see the way of Jesus differently, that they will live

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: with a laser focused clarity on the things that truly matter,

196
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: that they will want to dig further into the very

197
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: word of God as a result of going if that

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: is true the Lord's prayer? What else have I been missing?

199
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: And so there's just a hunger and desire for people

200
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: to be captivated aew by the biblical story, by the

201
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: prayer of Jesus, by understanding that the Word of God

202
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 3: is living and active, that it is deeper, wider, more compelling.

203
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: And we don't want people to become smarter, we want

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: them to live more faithfully. And so what they're learning

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: to be able to walk out and want to walk

206
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: it out? This film is a really great place to

207
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: start to understand the most powerful prayer ever given in

208
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: human history.

209
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: Joel, you are president and executive producer of a studio

210
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: called Eball Studios, and you were a director of another

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: faith centric documentary called The Mosaic Church. So this is

212
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: at least your second I don't know, Bible based, Christian based,

213
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Christian history based, I guess documentary recently. What is it

214
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: about these types of films that attracts you personally? That's

215
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: a great question.

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: I think that as you go throughout your life, hopefully you're.

217
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: Always learning and growing and.

218
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 4: Taking you know, we're all taking steps somewhere right like

219
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: we're walking somewhere with our lives. And for me personally

220
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: being raised in the church and then stepping away from

221
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 4: religion and faith for many years and slowly kind of

222
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 4: realizing the older I get, the more truth there is

223
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: in these ancient books, the collection, the sixty six books

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: that now makes up our Bible.

225
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: You just want more of it. You get hungry for it.

226
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 4: You realize, like, wow, there is so much here, so

227
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: much that we understand that's been passed forward for thousands

228
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: of years now theologians and scholars and leaders of the

229
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: faith in the early Church. But it motivates all of

230
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: our lives. I mean, you have to think about this.

231
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: I've got three children. The world that they're being raised in.

232
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: Everything in our country and in many places in our

233
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: world is shaped by these writings, is shaped by these accounts,

234
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: is shaped by these autobiographies. And that's what I love

235
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: so much about these projects. Is regardless of where you

236
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: are in the spectrum of belief, of faith, of practicing

237
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: those things you know, engaging with religion, everything that comes

238
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: from that, we're all connected to it. Regardless of where

239
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 4: you would plot yourself on the board, you all are

240
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: on the board. You cannot be alive and be a

241
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 4: human and carry a soul and not be on the board.

242
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 4: And so for me personally, it's been really exciting as

243
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: I've gotten older and really started to appreciate.

244
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: History and not just look at it as like, oh,

245
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: that's just some old stuff that no one really knows about.

246
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: I think that the more we see with technology, the

247
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: more we see of modernization, we're realizing.

248
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: The old truths are actually that truths. And I think

249
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 4: we're a society and humanity and civilization is.

250
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: Continuing to test this stuff.

251
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: But it's just been incredible to be a documentary storyteller

252
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: and filmmaker and be curious and hungry about these things

253
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 4: and then get the opportunity to pursue that curiosity and

254
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: in storytelling and actually working on projects that are teaching me,

255
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: that are growing me or helping me understand more about

256
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 4: the things that I'm interested in in seeking you.

257
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Also were executive predacer of Surprise by Oxford, which was

258
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 2: one of my favorite films in the past few years,

259
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: so we should have mentioned that as well. Margareinette, by

260
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: the way, as an executive preducer of The Lord's Prayer

261
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: film as well. Before we let you Go, Brad, you

262
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: guys are are you personally have a book as well?

263
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: Do you want to tell people about that in a

264
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: few seconds before we close here.

265
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, Basically, everything we could put into our film and

266
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: forthcoming television series on the Lord's Prayer we put into

267
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: a book and it's called Bringing Heaven Here, and it

268
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: really explores all of the personal implications of the Lord's Prayer,

269
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: just fleshing out what this means, what this looks like.

270
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a father of four, so there's a

271
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: lot of stories of being parents in here. It's about

272
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: just how do we take these words and what we're

273
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: seeing in the film and what people will see in

274
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: the forthcoming television series and being able to really flesh

275
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: it out.

276
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: On a personal level.

277
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: This book does that and I co wrote it with

278
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: my best friend another Brad. So you've got a Brad

279
