Kevin opens up about what drew him to the role of Ben Walker, how the film's message of second chances continues to resonate today, and his memories of working with Dallas Jenkins, now known for The Chosen. They also discuss themes of hope, purpose, and faith, and why this movie still matters 15 years later.
