  • 026 - Lessons Learned from Sharing the Gospel through Film
    2025/04/11

    Welcome to today's episode of FiYA Conversations. Today we are joined by Craig Dehut. He gives great insight into what he learned in film school and how he and his team are being used by the Lord to share the Gospel through multimedia productions.

    To connect with Craig you may visit him at https://appianmedia.org. Here you will find free content covering myriads of biblical history.Craig is a seasoned freelance video producer with over fifteen years of experience. In 2015, he co-founded Appian Media alongside his business partner, Stuart Peck, driven by a shared concern for the lack of engaging biblical media for young people. Their vision was to bridge the gap between the youth and Bible study through professionally produced, accurate, and free content. Appian Media has since produced multiple award-winning series, podcasts, workbooks, and children's videos, reaching millions worldwide.What sets Appian Media apart is their three-pronged approach: accuracy, professional production, and free accessibility. While many organizations may offer two of these elements, Appian Media stands out as one of the few providing all three. This commitment reflects their mission to remove barriers between people and the gospel.Also, don't forget to check out the new Christian Rap Devotional book and music album Grace Plus Truth: How to Walk in Faith and Freedom by Exploring the Last Adam's Impact on Salvation, Holiness, and the Christian Life.

When people meet me, I tell them my story in four words - husband, father, creative, forgiven. Officially, I'm an author, podcaster, coach and advocate for creatives in the areas of business,creativity and faith. My book, “God and Gigs: Succeed as a Musician without Sacrificing your Faith,” along with his podcast “The God and Gigs Show”, my study guides and devotionals are designed to help Christian and faith-filledcreatives build confidence in their calling while excelling in their craft - usually in the intersection of ministry and the mainstream arts and entertainment industry. I've been married to my beautiful wife Lia for over 25 years,and we have 3 children, and I continue to perform and compose as an accomplished musician in South Florida and beyond. As a musician, creative coach, author and podcaster, I strive to help creatives in all walks of life to harness the essential tools to impact the world while living in harmony,abundance and in line with timeless principles. I've built multiple brands and creative platforms, written 4 books and resources, and run a successful faith-centered creative platform, God and Gigs, while coaching others to do thesame with their gifts. I look forward to helping you to embrace the essential tools you need to live out a creative life, whether inside or outside of a church ministry setting. It's my passion to see you abundant, blessed, and creatively inspired every day - and I'd love to help show you the way.”
