John Erwin recently appeared on Charisma News to talk about the success of his faith-based film Jesus Revolution, which has earned close to $40 million in revenue over its three weeks of release. In 2015, when he bought a magazine with the Jesus Revolution cover story, it felt like the late 60s, with a lot of division and despair. He believes that people are at a moment of desperation and that the key to the Jesus Revolution of the past was people becoming desperate enough to cry out to God for change.
The conversation is centered around the recent release of the movie Jesus Revolution, which was a passion project for director Jon Erwin for many years. The movie was released on the heels of the Asbury Revival, which has sparked a hunger for more of God's presence in the culture. Erwin discusses the steps that he had to take to get the movie made; it was a miracle that a movie studio like Lionsgate allowed them to make a movie with the title “Jesus Revolution.” He also talks about how God can use disappointments for good, and how His timing is always perfect. He believes that God is writing a story that we may not be able to see, but it is perfect.
See The Movie!
