T.C. Christensen, director of 17 Miracles, The Cokeville Miracle, The Fighting Preacher, and more, found his passion through making faith-promoting films that allow the audience to wrestle a little bit while also coming back to God.

He’s found guidance from Pete Seeger, a singer and songwriter who said the key to the future of the world is finding the greatest positive stories and letting them be told. Positive or negative stories shape people’s lives and attitudes, which ultimately shape the future of the world. That’s why T.C.’s goal is to help people feel uplifted.

His hero in filmmaking is Frank Capra, the creator of It’s a Wonderful Life. Frank loved to tell the stories of the little person—the person who’s an everyday schmo but is trapped in some situation and realizes if they’ll stick to their guns and do what’s right, they’ll make a difference.

On answering how he’s stayed the path of positive, uplifting filmmaking and not getting caught up in Hollywood gimmicks, T.C. said he decides what he will and won’t do way before any decision is presented. That way when he’s approached with an opportunity, there’s no decision to be made.

T.C. makes films with relatable protagonists—normal people that get put in an extraordinary circumstance and then they behave extraordinarily, maybe not for their whole life, but for that moment. 

He has learned that the common thread in church history stories is to endure to the end. You’ve got to reach in your gut and keep going and trying. All of us at times feel like we don’t fit the mold. We’re not alone in feeling this way. Just keep going and endure to the end. 

In 17 Miracles, the stories and miracles are true and they show that God is aware of us individually. God is out there and He’s watching out for us.

T.C. loves trying to bolster people with positive stories. He wants to give people things to hold on to that help them feel better as they get up in the morning and move on with life. His hope is that people will see these experiences, these evidences of God’s love and know this: I’m worth saving.

Have you ever wondered what grace really means or how it really can help you in your life?. Join us today for a phenomenal episode of Real Talk with our dear friend Brother Brad Wilcox, Second Counselor in the Young Men General Presidency, to talk about this and much, much more. Brother Wilcox is famous for giving the number-one most-viewed BYU devotional ever, “His Grace is Sufficient,” and he’s renowned for being a grace expert. He’s got some good news: grace is working. “It’s time to hear Him and not hear them,” he says in response to the noise of our commotional world. And to the youth, he has a special invitation to “step it up” instead of slacking off during the coronavirus pandemic: “COVID is not a vacation from your covenants.” Listen in, as Scott Sorensen & Ganel-Lyn Condie talk with Brother Brad, and share with us what stands out to you from Brother Wilcox’s message.
