• Priscilla Shirer is a mother of three boys — two are teens, so she says that her full-time job is keeping them feed (Amen!)
• Priscilla's sister, Chrystal Hurst, is one of my sweet friends who was the guest on episode three, her father is Tony Evans, and her brother was recently on the Voice — it's a bit of an understatement to say that Priscilla comes from a very talented family! Priscilla shares a little about the blessings that the Lord that has bestowed on her family.
• Most listeners will know Priscilla from her Bible study ministry and the fact that she's a writer, but she recently went from writing to acting. I ask Priscilla what it was like transitioning to acting.
• You guys, just wait until you see this trailer (you can watch it below!) I just cried when I saw it! (Which shouldn't really surprise anyone since I'm a crier…) But, this movie is based on MercyMe's hit song, “I Can Only Imagine.” As the director, Jon Erwin, says, “It's the song you know, but the story you don't.” I asked Priscilla to share a little more about what this story is about.

 * Be sure to check out my interview below with the co-director of the movie, Jon Erwin!

• I had the opportunity to get a sneak peek at a snippet of Priscilla playing Mrs. Fincher, Bart's (the main character) music teacher. Priscilla explains a little more about who Mrs. Fincher was in Bart's life and why she was so important to him.
• There's a lot of new Christian films popping up here and there — which I love since my family enjoys watching movies together. I Can Only Imagine has at its core a story of redemption and forgiveness. Priscilla shared more about how the gospel is shared within the movie, as well. 
• I would love for all my listeners to go out and support this film — there is such power in where you spend your money (especially at the box office), but on a broader note, I asked Priscilla how we can be praying for this film as it hits the box office. 
• I Can Only Imagine opens today, March 16th! Be sure to go see it in theaters! — and be sure to watch my interview with the director, Jon Erwin, over on my YouTube channel HERE!
