Robert and I were good friends, and we\u2019ve worked on a lot of projects together. We were sitting in his office one night, and we were just dreaming. We talked about how we make a lot of films or do a lot of projects for other people; but what would we do if we could leave something to our grandkids? Robert was a new grandfather, and I am now a grandfather. We said, \u201cWhat would we do?\u201d\u2014we\u2019d make a movie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe, literally, had $60,000 and three people to work in a kitchen\u2014[Laughter]\u2014is what we started with. It was a dream, and it was kind of a crazy dream. I remember calling Robert the next morning and saying, \u201cHey, do you want to start working on that movie?\u201d He goes, \u201cYou were serious?!\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Why <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> You know, it goes back to my journey as\u2014I came to know the Lord when I was 14 years old\u2014through a radio rock station. People were doing interviews on Sunset Boulevard and kind of saying crazy stuff. Some guy got the mic, and literally\u2014I think, in about a minute\u2014he just gave a verse: \u201cBehold, I stand at the door and knock.\u201d That verse\u2014I went to my room and I said, \u201cJesus, if you are real\/if you\u2019re here, enter into my heart; and show me why I exist.\u201d That was my big question.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> From one verse, in sixty seconds, on a radio station.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> From one verse. I have to say that, obviously, God had been working in my life. You know, as a kid, I was\u2014there was a lot of questions that I had. I had one of those experiences that I changed\u2014I mean, literally, my life changed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Wow!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> I <em>knew<\/em> that Jesus had died for me; I knew that I belonged to Him. <em>Years<\/em> later, after serving the Lord, and realizing that, when the Lord asked me to make Him Lord of my life\u2014there was a lot more to that journey. To me\u2014<em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>\u2014it sort of embodies that journey. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI do a series called <em>The<\/em> <em>Torchlighters<\/em>\u2014an animated series. I\u2019d done an episode on Bunyan when he was in prison. I <em>knew<\/em> what he was talking about\u2014he didn\u2019t write this in the comfort of his study. He wrote this\u2014with whatever he was able to write\u2014at least, it was in his imagination in prison. I felt that that message of: \u201cLook, you\u2019ve come to know Jesus,\u201d\u2014but then\u2014\u201cYour journey\u2019s just beginning.\u201d And that\u2019s what <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress <\/em>is all about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got to say\u2014sitting there, which is sort of weird\u2014sitting there, beside Bob Lepine, with a bag of popcorn between us\u2014[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014sharing it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We were sharing this.

It\u2019s going to be easy now,\u201d\u2014you guys made it so clear that it\u2019s just the beginning\u2014and all the temptation and all the struggle.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s what I loved about the movie\u2014it was <em>real<\/em>. It was like: \u201c<em>That\u2019s<\/em> the Christian journey. That\u2019s really\u2014still\/still very, very hard.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It\u2019s a provocative part of the original story that you\u2019ve now carried in here; because Pilgrim comes to the door that says, \u201cKnock, and it shall be opened\u201d\u2014and it\u2019s opened. We would think, \u201cWell, this is the point where his sins are forgiven.\u201d Yet, what Bunyan\u2019s trying to say is: \u201cThis is where he\u2019s on the <em>beginning<\/em> of the journey. He hasn\u2019t believed the gospel yet. He\u2019s just in the process of pursuing Christ\u201d; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> It\u2019s conversion that\u2014it\u2019s not necessarily an instant conversion\u2014and even in my life, I know my life changed; but my conversion process continues to this day. And every single day, I have a choice. Even when I think I\u2019m doing well, I\u2019m still <em>learning<\/em>. You know, it\u2019s a journey of the Holy Spirit, bringing us all the way to the Celestial City.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We are changed in a moment\u2014there\u2019s a point in time, where we receive the new birth, where our sins are forgiven\u2014but there\u2019s a whole life after that\u2014that is the process of becoming more and more like Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Right; it\u2019s not always easy. It\u2019s not always a pleasant journey\u2014it isn\u2019t. I think we, as Christians, have to realize that, especially in the West. I do a lot of work in Asia and in counties where Christians are a minority. They\u2019re not exempt from suffering. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> In fact, Christ uses suffering for <em>good<\/em>. I always tell people: \u201cLook. The thing about being a Christian is\u2014we\u2019re going to go through the same things in life. You can either go <em>without<\/em> God; or you can go, accompanied <em>by<\/em> God.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Do you guys remember the first time you read this book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> You know, I don\u2019t. I grew up with it\u2014in growing up, as a Christian. I think it became more and more real to me through my travels with Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who wrote the book, <em>Tortured for Christ<\/em>. He became my spiritual mentor. I realized\u2014exactly what we were saying before\u2014there\u2019s so much glory potential in suffering, and the trials that we face produce these <em>amazing<\/em> things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think my Christian life, being a journey\u2014and I identified with <em>The<\/em> <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>\u2014but I identified with it even more, working on the script and working on the film. If you think about it\u2014Bunyan wrote it in prison. He didn\u2019t have to stay in prison\u2014they offered him: \u201cSign this letter\u2014you\u2019ll stop preaching, and you can get out of prison.\u201d And he said: \u201cNo. If you let me out, I\u2019m going to preach.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, think about it\u2014if I was there with him, I\u2019d say: \u201cJohn, just sign the letter! Preach a little!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Right! \u201cYou could do more outside.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> \u201cYou could do more outside\u201d; exactly! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think Richard Wurmbrand spent 14 years in communist prison. I filmed <em>his<\/em> story last year\u2014I filmed in his prison. I didn\u2019t feel overwhelmed by the suffering he endured; I felt overwhelmed by his choice to go there, because he spoke up against communism. I\u2019m behind the camera, going, \u201cDon\u2019t do it,\u201d\u2014my heart was saying, \u201cDon\u2019t set yourself up to endure all this suffering.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe journey for me has been: \u201cGod uses suffering.\u201d I don\u2019t wish suffering upon anybody, but what does God do with the trials we face? And that\u2019s what the story means to me\u2014it\u2019s not\u2014a lot of people say they read the book every year\u2014and that\u2019s what I <em>love<\/em>, because they feed from it. It\u2019s like Scripture kind of tossed into a different story we call an allegory\u2014maybe, it\u2019s a big parable. It\u2019s just something that has to be experienced for me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> My experience with the film was that, about every five minutes, I wanted to push \u201cpause\u201d and just reflect on what we had just seen Pilgrim go through; because it\u2019s one spiritual nugget after another\u2014that\u2019s true about the book, but it\u2019s true in the movie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You almost wonder if\u2014after the film\u2019s out and people see it\u2014they do that very thing. You know, when they can take it home, they use it as a tool, even with their neighborhood\u2014people never understood the book\/never seen it: \u201cLet\u2019s watch a scene; and let\u2019s hit \u2018pause,\u2019 and let\u2019s discuss spiritual matters\u201d; because it\u2019s right there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> I mean, that\u2019s really our dream; that\u2019s our hope.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yes; I think, for a lot of the projects we\u2019ve worked on, we always take into consideration two things: One is for the believer\u2014that it becomes something that would aid in conviction. Then, for the non-believer: \u201cWhat about the person that walks in, and doesn\u2019t quite get it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDoing it in an animated format, you see the journey of this man; and a lot of what goes on in people\u2019s hearts is placed on a screen. I think there\u2019s a real\u2014there are <em>layers<\/em> of depth in the story, and in the film as well. I think, eventually, turning it into something like a study guide or something\u2014you could do that. You could do it with a book, where you stop and let the Holy Spirit speak to you about legality, or worldliness, or taking the easy way out\u2014or the Flatterer, which is when this guy shows up and just begins to tell them how he just admires how spiritual they are. And before you know it, Christian and Hopeful are, \u201cYes; well, actually, I did fight Satan\u201d\u2014[Laughter]\u2014you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u201cIt was tough, and nobody ever did that before.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Before you know it, it just leads them into a trap. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne thing that\u2019s <em>really<\/em> great from the film, that I really liked, is that\u2014close to the end, when the Flatterer comes\u2014and one of the Shining Ones, which is like one of the angels, comes and says, \u201cDidn\u2019t the Shepherd give you a map?\u201d And Christian says, \u201cWell, He gave us instructions, but a map He didn\u2019t give us.\u201d And she says: \u201cThe King\u2019s instructions are a map.

I think for this generation of adults and kids will be <em>great<\/em> in terms of talking through this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I\u2019m thinking about next week\u2014and people going to theaters on Thursday night or on Saturday for the matinee\u2014which, again, the only two times it\u2019s showing next week\u2014Thursday night and Saturday. It\u2019s in about 700 theaters.

I didn\u2019t get restless <em>at all<\/em>, watching this film, because the spiritual truth being communicated is so powerful and so profound. You are just caught up in this story\u2014you guys have done a great job.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Well, thank you. There\u2019s a lot of highs and lows in the story. There\u2019s parts that are\u2014I think there\u2019s a lot of depth in the whole thing\u2014but there\u2019s also a lot of action and adventure; because that\u2019s the way Bunyan wrote it as well. You\u2019ve got the epic things with the dragon, and the big fight, and the Valley of Humiliation. You\u2019ve got the creatures, which were actually the demons that work with Apollyon\u2014there\u2019s all kinds of things like that. Then, you\u2019ve got the fantasy issue of Vanity Fair. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert: <\/strong>There\u2019s a lot to it\u2014it\u2019s enjoyable, but it\u2019s also <em>deep<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> When you were writing a screenplay, you\u2019re adding to what Bunyan wrote. You\u2019re adding dialogue and stuff.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you kind of feel like, \u201cI can\u2019t mess with Bunyan here!\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s the canon!\u2014[Laughter]\u2014the canon of Bunyan.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> There\u2019s one thing about the process of writing\u2014it\u2019s always a bit of a\u2014it\u2019s like a fight with the devil. It\u2019s like going into a room: \u201cOkay; I\u2019m going in here for a couple of weeks, and I\u2019m just going to really fight it out.\u201d And with Bunyan, of course, I was really praying, desperately\u2014I had a lot of people praying for me as well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe main reason we had to add a few things is because the book, itself, begins with Christian already with the burden on his back. There\u2019s a lot of discussion about: \u201cWhat is this burden?\u2014is it his sins, or is it conviction?\u2014is it\u2026? You know, what\u2019s causing him to feel this burden?\u201d because he\u2019s actually reading the Book. The Book is like the Bible\/the Word of God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the story, there\u2019s\u2014he has a strong desire to get to the Celestial City. We wanted to make this also relatable to people that he wanted to get to the Celestial City\u2014not just for himself\/not just because: \u201cOh, I\u2019m going to save myself. Forget everybody else.\u201d To me, when God does something in our lives, He always turns us back around. He never lets us keep the blessing. He always turns us around to the people behind us\/the people around us. He points them out and He goes, \u201cNow, what about them?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWith Christian, just following the journey\u2014even of Bunyan\u2019s life\u2014it was <em>always<\/em> for others. And so we tried\u2014we embedded this in Christian\u2019s personality\/in his character\u2014that he wanted to go\u2014he wanted to prove the Celestial City\u2014he wanted to see it himself; but once he got there, he wanted to go back. This is where the story kind of takes a twist, which I\u2019m not going to say what it is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had to add some of that\u2014we had to add some of the background of the City of Destruction, which is in the book\u2014where it came from\/how it originated. Why did he want to leave?\u2014there\u2019s a few little things like that\u2014but they\u2019re all true to the spirit of the story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> You guys, what\u2019s the dream? If you could paint a picture for us, what would your dream for this movie be?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve: <\/strong>I really want it to be shown on the mission field. We made it with that in mind\u2014a film that would translate. I\u2019ve travelled to a lot of countries; and I\u2019ve been to a lot of countries, where this story is known. We\u2019ve committed we will give it away to every mission\u2014every missionary\/every mission society. Our goal is to translate the film into 100 languages. It\u2019ll make it the most translated animated film in history. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Wow!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You\u2019ve already got it translated into Farsi.

We\u2019re working on Korean.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It\u2019s going to be on TV in Iran?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> It\u2019s going to be on <em>Iran Alive<\/em>, on satellite.

We hope to honor the commercial side and the people that have invested with us. We will never\u2014we maintain control of the film, because it <em>has<\/em> to be free to the missionary; it <em>has<\/em> to be free to missions. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tRobert and I are excited to be here, and to go to the theater, and be on your radio program; but this is not our story\u2014this is John Bunyan\u2019s story. We did everything we could to be faithful to the story <em>first<\/em>. Sure, we worked on a limited budget for the animation, but the team did the best job they could with the resources they had. We are so proud of them. We had three percent of an average studio animation\u2014that was our budget. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So anyone, who goes Thursday or Saturday, to see this in theaters\u2014in addition to being encouraged by what they see, and being challenged, and I think loving what they\u2019re going to see\u2014they\u2019re also helping to fund the distribution of this film all over the world. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> Absolutely.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You know, I\u2019ve got to add this\u2014because, Robert, when you told how you came to Christ, here\u2019s what hit me\u2014first thought was this: \u201cYou were listening to radio. It\u2019s easy, sometimes, to sit here and not even realize God\u2019s going to use these words to touch a young boy, or woman, or husband, or wife\u2014you never know\u2014in a <em>powerful<\/em> way. It could be just one little verse, like for you.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen here\u2019s what else hit me, which you already know\u2014but I just thought: \u201cWow. How powerful. You\u2019re doing the same thing, now, that somebody did for you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u201cSome guy gets on a rock station and quotes a verse; and he probably has no idea you were led to Christ and are going to impact the world. Now, you\u2019re using a medium\u2014animation\u2014with a <em>powerful<\/em> script. It\u2019s going to, literally, change legacies; because you guys committed to Jesus to use the medium of film.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m sitting here, almost emotional, thinking, \u201cAll around the world, what you received is going to be passed on, just like Christian <em>in<\/em> the movie.\u201d You know, he has this other motive: \u201cIt\u2019s not just about me; it\u2019s about <em>through<\/em> me.\u201d Thank you. I just can\u2019t imagine how many <em>millions<\/em> of people are going to be led to Jesus through you guys committing to use this medium to get the message to them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> You know, the power of the visual of creation\u2014like the Lord God is creative\u2014and He constantly does things to be able to bring people to Himself. This reminds me of the story\u2014I worked in Asia for a long time. There was this one gentleman that I spent maybe about 12 months, trying to explain the gospel to him, over and over. He would never get to the point where he would come to the Lord, but he\u2019d always want to talk to me; so I would always go see him; you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe takes a trip to Italy. He comes back and calls me, \u201cI need to talk to you right away.\u201d I go over to his office. He goes, \u201cI went to Italy; and I was in this chapel, where they had a replica of La Pieta\u201d\u2014which is the one where Mary is holding Jesus; Jesus is dead and is draped in her arms. He goes: \u201cThis particular place\u2014I walked in; I was just really moved by the beauty of this sculpture. There was this <em>light<\/em> coming down from the ceiling right on Jesus and on His hands. It <em>was<\/em>\u2014it was this hole\u2014like from a nail that was missing\u2014that landed right on His [hands].\u201d And he goes, \u201cRight there, I understood what Jesus had done for me.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe had a conversion experience. He didn\u2019t have it with me\u2014I mean, God used whatever our conversations were. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You had sowed seeds.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yes; yes, I know; but at the moment of conversion, it was between him and the Lord. So you <em>never<\/em> know what a picture, an image, a thought, a musical note\u2014how God can use it in the life of somebody\u2014not only now\u2014but over years to come. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Would to God, that there would be, in the seeds of this movie, there would be, as you said, millions of believers and of missionaries, who are launched as a result of seeing this film. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuys, thank you for sharing the film with us, and thanks for being here. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> Thank you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert: <\/strong>Thank you very much.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And again, if you\u2019re interested in finding out more about the film\u2014where it\u2019s going to be showing in a theater near where you live\u2014go to our website, FamilyLifeToday.com.

I love <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em> and the incredibly powerful story that it is that God has used through the centuries. I love that we have a new way and a new genre of being able to view it and to watch it with our kids and have conversations about this powerful story that it is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, Bunyan, in the story, personifies the value of enduring and choosing personal suffering for the sake of others. My mind went to two places when I was thinking about <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>. One, it reminded me of Dennis and Barbara Rainey\u2014how much God has done <em>through<\/em> them. We have heard their highs throughout the decades; and we\u2019ve heard\u2014they\u2019ve invited us in, with honesty\u2014to many of their lows over the years and the ways they have endured with faithfulness. They really have modeled perseverance through trials\u2014not just endurance for the sake of endurance\u2014but endurance for the sake of others, and the good of families, and for the gospel, and for God and His glory.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I think, if the Raineys were in the studio today\u2014the other place my mind went is something I think they would be bringing up is\u2014I hear them say, often: \u201cWe were only following what Jesus modeled. Anything that points us to Jesus\u2019 endurance for our sake\u2014we should be thankful for.\u201d This film, I believe, will certainly do that; because the story is so powerful. It\u2019s one of the\u2014really, the reasons I\u2019m looking forward to seeing it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I hope you enjoy it.

He didn\u2019t have to stay in prison\u2014they offered him: \u201cSign this letter\u2014you\u2019ll stop preaching, and you can get out of prison.\u201d And he said: \u201cNo. If you let me out, I\u2019m going to preach.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, think about it.

Robert and I were good friends, and we\u2019ve worked on a lot of projects together. We were sitting in his office one night, and we were just dreaming. We talked about how we make a lot of films or do a lot of projects for other people; but what would we do if we could leave something to our grandkids? Robert was a new grandfather, and I am now a grandfather. We said, \u201cWhat would we do?\u201d\u2014we\u2019d make a movie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe, literally, had $60,000 and three people to work in a kitchen\u2014[Laughter]\u2014is what we started with. It was a dream, and it was kind of a crazy dream. I remember calling Robert the next morning and saying, \u201cHey, do you want to start working on that movie?\u201d He goes, \u201cYou were serious?!\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Why <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> You know, it goes back to my journey as\u2014I came to know the Lord when I was 14 years old\u2014through a radio rock station. People were doing interviews on Sunset Boulevard and kind of saying crazy stuff. Some guy got the mic, and literally\u2014I think, in about a minute\u2014he just gave a verse: \u201cBehold, I stand at the door and knock.\u201d That verse\u2014I went to my room and I said, \u201cJesus, if you are real\/if you\u2019re here, enter into my heart; and show me why I exist.\u201d That was my big question.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> From one verse, in sixty seconds, on a radio station.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> From one verse. I have to say that, obviously, God had been working in my life. You know, as a kid, I was\u2014there was a lot of questions that I had. I had one of those experiences that I changed\u2014I mean, literally, my life changed.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Wow!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> I <em>knew<\/em> that Jesus had died for me; I knew that I belonged to Him. <em>Years<\/em> later, after serving the Lord, and realizing that, when the Lord asked me to make Him Lord of my life\u2014there was a lot more to that journey. To me\u2014<em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>\u2014it sort of embodies that journey. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI do a series called <em>The<\/em> <em>Torchlighters<\/em>\u2014an animated series. I\u2019d done an episode on Bunyan when he was in prison. I <em>knew<\/em> what he was talking about\u2014he didn\u2019t write this in the comfort of his study. He wrote this\u2014with whatever he was able to write\u2014at least, it was in his imagination in prison. I felt that that message of: \u201cLook, you\u2019ve come to know Jesus,\u201d\u2014but then\u2014\u201cYour journey\u2019s just beginning.\u201d And that\u2019s what <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress <\/em>is all about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got to say\u2014sitting there, which is sort of weird\u2014sitting there, beside Bob Lepine, with a bag of popcorn between us\u2014[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014sharing it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> We were sharing this.

It\u2019s going to be easy now,\u201d\u2014you guys made it so clear that it\u2019s just the beginning\u2014and all the temptation and all the struggle.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s what I loved about the movie\u2014it was <em>real<\/em>.

We would think, \u201cWell, this is the point where his sins are forgiven.\u201d Yet, what Bunyan\u2019s trying to say is: \u201cThis is where he\u2019s on the <em>beginning<\/em> of the journey. He hasn\u2019t believed the gospel yet. He\u2019s just in the process of pursuing Christ\u201d; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> It\u2019s conversion that\u2014it\u2019s not necessarily an instant conversion\u2014and even in my life, I know my life changed; but my conversion process continues to this day. And every single day, I have a choice. Even when I think I\u2019m doing well, I\u2019m still <em>learning<\/em>. You know, it\u2019s a journey of the Holy Spirit, bringing us all the way to the Celestial City.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We are changed in a moment\u2014there\u2019s a point in time, where we receive the new birth, where our sins are forgiven\u2014but there\u2019s a whole life after that\u2014that is the process of becoming more and more like Christ.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Right; it\u2019s not always easy. It\u2019s not always a pleasant journey\u2014it isn\u2019t. I think we, as Christians, have to realize that, especially in the West. I do a lot of work in Asia and in counties where Christians are a minority. They\u2019re not exempt from suffering. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> In fact, Christ uses suffering for <em>good<\/em>.

You can either go <em>without<\/em> God; or you can go, accompanied <em>by<\/em> God.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Do you guys remember the first time you read this book?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> You know, I don\u2019t. I grew up with it\u2014in growing up, as a Christian. I think it became more and more real to me through my travels with Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who wrote the book, <em>Tortured for Christ<\/em>. He became my spiritual mentor. I realized\u2014exactly what we were saying before\u2014there\u2019s so much glory potential in suffering, and the trials that we face produce these <em>amazing<\/em> things.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think my Christian life, being a journey\u2014and I identified with <em>The<\/em> <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>\u2014but I identified with it even more, working on the script and working on the film. If you think about it\u2014Bunyan wrote it in prison. He didn\u2019t have to stay in prison\u2014they offered him: \u201cSign this letter\u2014you\u2019ll stop preaching, and you can get out of prison.\u201d And he said: \u201cNo. If you let me out, I\u2019m going to preach.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, think about it\u2014if I was there with him, I\u2019d say: \u201cJohn, just sign the letter! Preach a little!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Right! \u201cYou could do more outside.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> \u201cYou could do more outside\u201d; exactly! \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think Richard Wurmbrand spent 14 years in communist prison. I filmed <em>his<\/em> story last year\u2014I filmed in his prison. I didn\u2019t feel overwhelmed by the suffering he endured; I felt overwhelmed by his choice to go there, because he spoke up against communism. I\u2019m behind the camera, going, \u201cDon\u2019t do it,\u201d\u2014my heart was saying, \u201cDon\u2019t set yourself up to endure all this suffering.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe journey for me has been: \u201cGod uses suffering.\u201d I don\u2019t wish suffering upon anybody, but what does God do with the trials we face? And that\u2019s what the story means to me\u2014it\u2019s not\u2014a lot of people say they read the book every year\u2014and that\u2019s what I <em>love<\/em>, because they feed from it. It\u2019s like Scripture kind of tossed into a different story we call an allegory\u2014maybe, it\u2019s a big parable. It\u2019s just something that has to be experienced for me. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> My experience with the film was that, about every five minutes, I wanted to push \u201cpause\u201d and just reflect on what we had just seen Pilgrim go through; because it\u2019s one spiritual nugget after another\u2014that\u2019s true about the book, but it\u2019s true in the movie. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You almost wonder if\u2014after the film\u2019s out and people see it\u2014they do that very thing. You know, when they can take it home, they use it as a tool, even with their neighborhood\u2014people never understood the book\/never seen it: \u201cLet\u2019s watch a scene; and let\u2019s hit \u2018pause,\u2019 and let\u2019s discuss spiritual matters\u201d; because it\u2019s right there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> I mean, that\u2019s really our dream; that\u2019s our hope.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yes; I think, for a lot of the projects we\u2019ve worked on, we always take into consideration two things: One is for the believer\u2014that it becomes something that would aid in conviction. Then, for the non-believer: \u201cWhat about the person that walks in, and doesn\u2019t quite get it?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDoing it in an animated format, you see the journey of this man; and a lot of what goes on in people\u2019s hearts is placed on a screen. I think there\u2019s a real\u2014there are <em>layers<\/em> of depth in the story, and in the film as well. I think, eventually, turning it into something like a study guide or something\u2014you could do that. You could do it with a book, where you stop and let the Holy Spirit speak to you about legality, or worldliness, or taking the easy way out\u2014or the Flatterer, which is when this guy shows up and just begins to tell them how he just admires how spiritual they are. And before you know it, Christian and Hopeful are, \u201cYes; well, actually, I did fight Satan\u201d\u2014[Laughter]\u2014you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u201cIt was tough, and nobody ever did that before.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Before you know it, it just leads them into a trap. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne thing that\u2019s <em>really<\/em> great from the film, that I really liked, is that\u2014close to the end, when the Flatterer comes\u2014and one of the Shining Ones, which is like one of the angels, comes and says, \u201cDidn\u2019t the Shepherd give you a map?\u201d And Christian says, \u201cWell, He gave us instructions, but a map He didn\u2019t give us.\u201d And she says: \u201cThe King\u2019s instructions are a map. Didn\u2019t they tell you where to go and where <em>not<\/em> to go?\u201d\u2014stuff like that\u2014it\u2019s just\u2014it\u2019s deep.

I didn\u2019t get restless <em>at all<\/em>, watching this film, because the spiritual truth being communicated is so powerful and so profound.

There\u2019s parts that are\u2014I think there\u2019s a lot of depth in the whole thing\u2014but there\u2019s also a lot of action and adventure; because that\u2019s the way Bunyan wrote it as well. You\u2019ve got the epic things with the dragon, and the big fight, and the Valley of Humiliation. You\u2019ve got the creatures, which were actually the demons that work with Apollyon\u2014there\u2019s all kinds of things like that. Then, you\u2019ve got the fantasy issue of Vanity Fair. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert: <\/strong>There\u2019s a lot to it\u2014it\u2019s enjoyable, but it\u2019s also <em>deep<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> When you were writing a screenplay, you\u2019re adding to what Bunyan wrote.

It\u2019s like going into a room: \u201cOkay; I\u2019m going in here for a couple of weeks, and I\u2019m just going to really fight it out.\u201d And with Bunyan, of course, I was really praying, desperately\u2014I had a lot of people praying for me as well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe main reason we had to add a few things is because the book, itself, begins with Christian already with the burden on his back. There\u2019s a lot of discussion about: \u201cWhat is this burden?\u2014is it his sins, or is it conviction?\u2014is it\u2026? You know, what\u2019s causing him to feel this burden?\u201d because he\u2019s actually reading the Book. The Book is like the Bible\/the Word of God.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn the story, there\u2019s\u2014he has a strong desire to get to the Celestial City. We wanted to make this also relatable to people that he wanted to get to the Celestial City\u2014not just for himself\/not just because: \u201cOh, I\u2019m going to save myself. Forget everybody else.\u201d To me, when God does something in our lives, He always turns us back around. He never lets us keep the blessing. He always turns us around to the people behind us\/the people around us. He points them out and He goes, \u201cNow, what about them?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWith Christian, just following the journey\u2014even of Bunyan\u2019s life\u2014it was <em>always<\/em> for others. And so we tried\u2014we embedded this in Christian\u2019s personality\/in his character\u2014that he wanted to go\u2014he wanted to prove the Celestial City\u2014he wanted to see it himself; but once he got there, he wanted to go back. This is where the story kind of takes a twist, which I\u2019m not going to say what it is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had to add some of that\u2014we had to add some of the background of the City of Destruction, which is in the book\u2014where it came from\/how it originated. Why did he want to leave?\u2014there\u2019s a few little things like that\u2014but they\u2019re all true to the spirit of the story.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> You guys, what\u2019s the dream?

This reminds me of the story\u2014I worked in Asia for a long time. There was this one gentleman that I spent maybe about 12 months, trying to explain the gospel to him, over and over. He would never get to the point where he would come to the Lord, but he\u2019d always want to talk to me; so I would always go see him; you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe takes a trip to Italy. He comes back and calls me, \u201cI need to talk to you right away.\u201d I go over to his office. He goes, \u201cI went to Italy; and I was in this chapel, where they had a replica of La Pieta\u201d\u2014which is the one where Mary is holding Jesus; Jesus is dead and is draped in her arms. He goes: \u201cThis particular place\u2014I walked in; I was just really moved by the beauty of this sculpture. There was this <em>light<\/em> coming down from the ceiling right on Jesus and on His hands. It <em>was<\/em>\u2014it was this hole\u2014like from a nail that was missing\u2014that landed right on His [hands].\u201d And he goes, \u201cRight there, I understood what Jesus had done for me.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe had a conversion experience. He didn\u2019t have it with me\u2014I mean, God used whatever our conversations were. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You had sowed seeds.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert:<\/strong> Yes; yes, I know; but at the moment of conversion, it was between him and the Lord. So you <em>never<\/em> know what a picture, an image, a thought, a musical note\u2014how God can use it in the life of somebody\u2014not only now\u2014but over years to come. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Would to God, that there would be, in the seeds of this movie, there would be, as you said, millions of believers and of missionaries, who are launched as a result of seeing this film. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGuys, thank you for sharing the film with us, and thanks for being here. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Steve:<\/strong> Thank you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Robert: <\/strong>Thank you very much.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And again, if you\u2019re interested in finding out more about the film\u2014where it\u2019s going to be showing in a theater near where you live\u2014go to our website, FamilyLifeToday.com.

As a matter of fact, if you <em>don\u2019t<\/em> have kids, this is still a film you will enjoy and benefit from seeing. I mean, I went without any kids.

You didn\u2019t get a chance to see the movie, but\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>David:<\/strong> I did not on that day, but I look forward to it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You\u2019re planning to go.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>David:<\/strong> <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>. I love <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em> and the incredibly powerful story that it is that God has used through the centuries. I love that we have a new way and a new genre of being able to view it and to watch it with our kids and have conversations about this powerful story that it is. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, Bunyan, in the story, personifies the value of enduring and choosing personal suffering for the sake of others. My mind went to two places when I was thinking about <em>Pilgrim\u2019s Progress<\/em>. One, it reminded me of Dennis and Barbara Rainey\u2014how much God has done <em>through<\/em> them. We have heard their highs throughout the decades; and we\u2019ve heard\u2014they\u2019ve invited us in, with honesty\u2014to many of their lows over the years and the ways they have endured with faithfulness. They really have modeled perseverance through trials\u2014not just endurance for the sake of endurance\u2014but endurance for the sake of others, and the good of families, and for the gospel, and for God and His glory.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I think, if the Raineys were in the studio today\u2014the other place my mind went is something I think they would be bringing up is\u2014I hear them say, often: \u201cWe were only following what Jesus modeled. Anything that points us to Jesus\u2019 endurance for our sake\u2014we should be thankful for.\u201d This film, I believe, will certainly do that; because the story is so powerful. It\u2019s one of the\u2014really, the reasons I\u2019m looking forward to seeing it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I hope you enjoy it. Again, it\u2019s Thursday night or Saturday matinee this coming [weekend]. There\u2019s more information, online, at FamilyLifeToday.com.
