Obviously this was quite an unusual thing to hear.

To begin with, I had to take my faith and my beliefs and set them aside, so I could take an objective approach. I wanted to know why I believed the things I had been told. Through the whole process, it strengthened me. I feel I am more of a believer now than I ever was. There are some skeptics' views that really make a lot of sense. I really had to wrestle with them. Scripture comes to life now in a way it never had.

There was nothing I could do to try to reproduce it, so I did some symbolic illusions. . . . We had to go into skeptics' views, such as maybe Jesus never did actually die on the cross and maybe Jesus was never put into the tomb.

I tried to figure out a way to replicate those in some way. Some I couldn't even get close, some I could come up with a convincing version. We turned water into wine. That one was very easy for me to do. The calming of the storm I was able to do, but we show how we pulled that one off with special effects.

I didn't know what to think, whether they were legitimate or small time. My reaction was kind of mixed: This could be a cool idea or what is this show gonna really be about? I wanted to find real truth and not expose Jesus as a fraud. They were pretty honest and up front, so I decided to commit to it.

Failure was never an option. You never gave up and kept trying until you succeeded.
