Out of Egypt

Craig Dehut part 1

There is so much noise today in the media. Useless, controversial and often inflammatory rhetoric which leads to more and more animosity and division.  Documentaries today tend to “fuel the fire” (so to speak) as well.

In order to teach the Gospel, we first must understand the Gospel message. The only way to truly understand the Gospel message is to experience it as best we can.  Many people are unable to make a pilgrimage to the land of the Bible. Many people do not have the resources, or perhaps their health issues preclude them from doing so.

It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words… I’d also add that a video is probably worth 10,000 pictures. Because, in actuality, that is what a video is… thousands of individual pictures strung together in sequence to tell as story. Amen!

This brings up the need for safe, professional and Biblically accurate videos that reflect the Bible Stories in a unique way that will motivate, educate and inspire Christians everywhere.

That is where our guest comes in. Amen.

Craig Dehut is one the co-founders of Apian Media. He and Stuart Peck were alarmed with the soaring rate of disengaged young people with the Bible. They recognized one of the causes was lack of engaging, accurate and professionally produced videos that would capture the attention of, not only the younger generation, but Christians everywhere.  And that, in the process, these videos would be viewed from around the world through the power of the internet. Even in places open witnessing cannot be accomplished. Amen!

They recently released their latest work, “Out of Egypt,” which is a video detailing their attempt to make the “Exodus Journey” which God used to free Israel from Egyptian bondage.

To discuss this magnificent project, help me welcome to the program, Craig Dehut!  Craig, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate your time.

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Craig Dehut?”

The idea for Apian Media started way back in 2015. Can you share original motivation that started the planning for this between you and Stuart Peck?

Share with our listeners your name, “Appian Media.” What does that reference?

Which was your first video that Apian Media produced?

How many views have you received on your videos from around the world?

What kind testimonials have you received from those that viewed your videos?

When you filmed the “Following Jesus” video – What was the most memorable or remarkable experience you can share with us?

There is no doubt of the need for videos like you are producing. How important do you view the need to counter the culture of Hollywood and the trash corrupting the minds of people today?

Let’s talk about your recent video, “Out of Egypt.”  How long was the planning process for this video (from “Hey, this is an idea” to actually landing in Egypt)?

The primary, I guess I’d say “narrator” in the film, is Jeremy Dehut. I take it Jeremy is your brother? Is that correct?

I was watching the video and seen you interview the owner of a brick making factory…You were declared the “master brick maker.” What was your impression when you saw them making bricks almost in the same manner as depicted in the Bible?

If I did my calculations correctly, the average brick maker could make 500 bricks per day – per person. Did you ever find out if that was the “tale of the bricks” that would have been used in Biblical times?

I learned from the video that the “Ark of the Covenant” idea came from Egypt. Is that right?

In the video, you take the viewer on a ship out into the Red Sea. How impressive was it being on the Red Sea and knowing you were in the same spot God Supernaturally parted those waters and allowed a million plus people through on dry ground?

As your crew was filming on Mt. Sinai, a pastor who had walked up to the top of the mountain made it to the top – walking the entire way with a cane. Praise God!  When I saw that, I immediately thought of Moses in his 80’s making that journey, too.

You can view their works on the website, or download the videos… it’s up to you. But I cannot emphasize the importance of you dropping down in the show notes and clicking the links right there.

Reach out to Craig and his team. Reach out and view the videos… and I want to add – send along an offering of support. Amen!

Pastors, I believe this would make a great missionary outreach for your church. I’d even recommend reaching out to Craig about having a special viewing at your church and inviting Craig or one of his team to come in and speak for the special event. Amen!

Let your congregation experience it first-hand! Praise God!
