Why did God call Abraham to offer up his son Isaac in Genesis 22? How old was Isaac and are the child depictions that we often see actually accurate? How does this story point to ultimate fulfillment in Christ? Why does the world call this event "controversial"? Nick Shalna is joined by David Helling, the Writer and Director of the new feature film "His Only Son", to discuss the purpose and impact of this new movie about Abraham's story.

*The sooner you see His Only Son, the better. If Christian movies have a good initial reaction in theaters, they will remain in the theaters for a longer period of time!
