Why I Made a Movie About Johnny Cash
I think we’ve all heard of Johnny Cash and can recognize his music—even today’s young people can. He had a musical style that was so unique and could transcend time, setting him apart from other musicians.

But there’s more to his story.
Saint or Sinner?
Johnny Cash wasn’t just known for creating unique music, but for being a unique individual as well. Sinners thought Johnny was a saint, saints thought Johnny was a sinner, but, in reality, he was both. Just like us, he was flawed, he blew it, he fell, and he got up again. But he never lost his faith. In fact, at the very end of his life, it was stronger than ever.
He embodies the paradox of every Christian who wants to do what is right but struggles to do it, just like the apostle Paul described in Romans. That’s one reason I’ve wanted to tell his story for such a long time. His story is that of redemption, and it resonates with so many of us who mess up, yet still have God saying, “I’m not done with you yet.”

He writes that he has never seen anything quite like it before or since. “I felt such clarity and purpose coming out of that prayer time. That I was called to a generation of young adults to reach them for Christ and tell them about the power of the cross and the reality of the resurrection of Jesus.”
