Today we share a special episode from Crosswalk Talk. Our own Kevin Sorbo was interviewed by host Michael Foust as they sit down to revisit What If…, a faith-based drama originally released in 2010 and now returning to theaters for a special two-day re-release on August 5 & 7 through Fathom Events.

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.

Key Takeaways

• Why What If… remains one of Sorbo’s favorite films (out of 90+ movies!)

• Behind-the-scenes stories from working with Dallas Jenkins early in his career

• The role of faith, family, and humility in Sorbo’s approach to filmmaking

• Insights into working with John Ratzenberger (Cheers)

• Why this film is often compared to It’s a Wonderful Life

• How Sorbo hopes it inspires hope, redemption, and reflection in today’s culture

About the Film

What If… follows a successful businessman who is shown what his life might have been like had he followed God’s calling. It's a story of divine perspective, life choices, and grace-filled “what could’ve been” moments.

Re-Release Dates: August 5 & 7
