A series of short testimonies of times that God showed up upon set or in ways related to the film-industry.In this episode, Tyler Sansom, a film director, producer and pastor from southern Indiana, shares the profound impact of his film, 'I Can.' Released nationwide, the film inspired a Pay It Forward campaign allowing at-risk kids to see it for free.

Her coach Zach organized a softball tournament in her honor, which spurred the establishment of a scholarship in her name. Tragically, Zach also passed away shortly after, leading to the creation of the ICAN Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at helping people overcome difficult 'I can't' moments. Tyler emphasizes the unforeseen, far-reaching effects of dedicating one's talents to God's service.Bio: Tyler is a pastor and filmmaker based out of Corydon, IN.
