Ep. 509 - Live-Action Christmas Musical Tells Story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus’ Birth - Adam Anders

Many musicals have been made in Hollywood, but a high-quality production featuring the life of Mary and the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior, has never seen the light of day…until now! Adam Anders is an award-winning producer, writer, director, and the mastermind behind the current hit musical, Journey to Bethlehem. The film tells the lyrical story of young Mary and Joseph amid her anticipation of the birth of her son, Jesus, the Savior of the world. Adam talks about bringing the film to fruition over a seventeen year period, what his journey has been like being a Christian in Hollywood, and provides his point of view on some of the criticisms he has received amid the movie’s success.
