Tim Chey's Freedom Story!

In today's episode, I sit down with Tim Chey, the director and producer of the upcoming film "The Firing Squad," set to release on August 2, 2024. Tim shares his remarkable journey from Atheism and Buddhism to his radical conversion to Christianity, his career highs and lows, and his commitment to making faith-based films. His story is one of transformation, perseverance, and unwavering faith in the face of adversity.

We also talk about the movie and how the concept impacted Tim. It is based off of the story of the Christians who were executed by firing squad in Indonesia on April 29, 2015. It stars Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. Keep an eye out for advanced ticket sales near you to get the interest going and get it in more theaters!
