Divine Intervention: Episode # 40: Author and film director Alex Kendrick, director of "Fireproof"

In this Episode of Divine Intervention, we are joined by Alex Kendrick of Sherwood pictures. Born in 1970 in Athens, Georgia, Alex Kendrick is the co-author of “The Love Dare,” and co-writer and director of "FIREPROOF," the latest feature film from Sherwood Pictures, which stars Kirk Cameron. Alex joined the staff of Sherwood Baptist Church in 1999 as an associate minister of media. He oversees church ministries in television, radio and film. He also teaches a weekly televised Bible study program called "Home Connection." Alex and his Brother Stephen grew up shooting 8mm “chase ‘em down and shoot ‘em up” movies and helped Sherwood Baptist establish Sherwood Pictures in 2003. Fireproof is their third movie after Flywheel and Facing the Giants, which played in more than 1,000 theaters after its Sept. 2006 release. Grossing over $10 million at the box office, it is their most successful film to date. The DVD has been released in 14 languages and in 56 countries. Additionally, Facing the Giants has been used by more than 8,500 churches for ministry outreach.

Alex’s groundbreaking work in Sherwood Pictures has provided him the opportunities to appear on such programs as Good Morning America, The FOX News Channel, CNN Headline News, The Glenn Beck Show, TBN’s Behind the Scenes, and many more. Alex joins us today on Divine Intervention to share his testimony and the wonderful things God is doing through his ministry, and some of the miracles that God did in helping Sherwood pictures produce and release "Fireproof."
