On this episode of Divine Intervention, we are joined by filmmaker Dan Merchant. Dan Merchant makes his debut as a documentary director (and jumpsuit-wearing bumper-sticker man) in Lord, Save Us From Your Followers—the product of an amazing three-year journey to the front lines of America’s so-called Culture Wars.
Dan has made a living by writing, producing, directing, and talking people into his ideas. Dan’s creative brain rarely slows down and he’s currently applying his unique vision to a heartwarming, web-of-life ensemble drama about grace, fittingly titled Grace Finds Beauty. Dan is also developing The Armor, an exciting, supernatural action-adventure tale inspired by the biblical battle between the “seen and the unseen worlds.” He recently optioned the screenplay You Make Me Sick, (co-written with James Melkonian), a raucous teen comedy about a high schooler who fakes a terminal illness to improve his social standing.
Dan has had the privilege of speaking about Lord, Save Us at colleges, churches, conferences, and summer camps from coast to coast. Dan enjoys the gift of engaging directly with an audience and hopes to do more.
His most recent book, the wildly successful Lord, Save Us From Your Followers, is the companion book to the documentary and was released by Thomas Nelson in March 2008. A follow-up book, Loving Kindness Actually Works, is underway.
Dan has been happily married for twenty-one years and is the father of two teenage boys.
