In this episode of the Rooted in Christ Podcast, Eric Stephens sits down with Craig DeHut, co-founder of Appian Media, to explore what it truly takes to create biblically accurate, professionally produced Christian media that reaches a modern audience.

Craig shares the heart behind Appian Media’s mission: removing barriers to Scripture through accuracy, excellence, and free accessibility. From crowdfunding international documentary trips to Israel, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey, to working with archaeologists, historians, and local experts, Craig explains how his team brings the Bible to life in a way that is visually compelling, trustworthy, and deeply rooted in Scripture.

Together, they discuss:

• Why high-quality production matters when communicating God’s Word
• The three-pronged approach that sets Appian Media apart
• The real challenges behind international Christian documentary filmmaking
• How visual storytelling helps younger generations engage deeply with Scripture
• Powerful testimonies from viewers whose faith was strengthened through these resources
• Why keeping biblical content free and accessible is central to the mission
• What’s next for Appian Media, including an ambitious multi-year plan to tell the full story of the Bible

This conversation is both practical and inspiring for creatives, ministry leaders, educators, and anyone passionate about sharing the Gospel with excellence and integrity.
