Jon Erwin: The Hero’s Journey Behind 'House of David'


Listen Later

What does it take to bring one of history’s most legendary figures to life? In this episode of Arroyo Grande, filmmaker Jon Erwin (Jesus Revolution, I Can Only Imagine) takes us behind the scenes of his latest project, House of David, a sweeping new series on Amazon Prime.

We dive into the hero’s journey—both on-screen and in real life—as Jon shares how the story of King David mirrors our own struggles, victories, and leaps of faith. From his unexpected start as a teenage cameraman to helming an epic biblical adaptation, Jon discusses the cost of destiny, the power of storytelling, and the lessons we can all learn from David’s trials and triumphs.

Plus, we unpack what makes a true hero, why faith and film are colliding in a big way, and how taking risks—like David against Goliath—can lead to life’s greatest rewards.

Before our deep dive with Jon, we take a look at the idea of heroism in Hollywood today—from Carrie-Anne Moss’ surprising take on career versus family to the controversy surrounding Disney’s Snow White remake. What does it really mean to be a hero, and why does Hollywood keep rewriting its own classic stories?
