I think a lot of Christians are looking for the “third way” these days because of the polarization of American evangelicalism… I always learn something new, and I look forward to your new videos…

Our Process

1. Planning

Before an idea becomes an episode, much work goes into planning the content and finding a guest for the conversation.

2. Filming

Once the episode has been planned, our filming team meets with the guest, either in person or remotely.

3. Editing

Here the episode receives hours of editing, review, and preparation to be released on our platforms.

4. Publishing

In this final step, thumbnails, subtitles, descriptions, and SEO are all developed for a smooth release of the episode.
