In this episode, I talk with filmmaker Michael Ray Lewis, director of the apologetics documentary Universe Designed. Michael shares his powerful testimony of coming from atheism to faith in Christ, and how the very evidence that convinced him of God’s existence became the backbone of his film. We also discuss the greatest resistances people often have to Christianity as well as the most compelling arguments that point to God. We dive into the behind-the-scenes process of creating the film, the challenges of theatrical release, and why he believes the Christian film industry often struggles. This conversation is both inspiring and equipping—a must-listen for anyone passionate about apologetics or using media to point people to Christ.
