Tribute to Masculinity (Week 2): Bringing Scripture to Life Through Story and Place
Understanding Scripture often requires more than reading words on a page—it calls for context, history, and imagination. In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I’m joined by Craig DeHut, co-founder and CEO of Appian Media, to explore how faith, filmmaking, and biblical archaeology intersect to deepen our understanding of God’s Word.
Craig shares how Appian Media was built on three guiding principles: historical accuracy, professional production quality, and accessibility. In a media landscape where Christian content often sacrifices one for the other, Appian Media has found a rare balance—producing visually stunning, theologically faithful documentaries that are freely available to viewers worldwide.
Our conversation dives into how seeing the land of the Bible—roads, cities, deserts, and mountains—changes how we read Scripture. From the dangerous road between Jerusalem and Jericho to sites across Israel, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan, Craig explains how geography and culture add depth and weight to familiar passages. We also discuss the role of perseverance, prayer, and humility when pursuing God-centered work, especially when obstacles arise.
🎧 Listen to the episode to discover how bringing Scripture into physical space can strengthen faith, understanding, and confidence in the truth of the Bible.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
