Hey friends, welcome back to this episode of Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today I’m sitting down with the incredible Rev. Beth Caulfield — pastor, filmmaker, screenwriter, and woman of God whose testimony is straight-up wild in the best way.

Beth has a beautiful new project coming out called “Conceivable,” a faith-based film that tells the real and raw story of her late-in-life pregnancy, her wrestling, the surprising emotions that surfaced, and the spiritual battles she faced both medically and within the church.

This movie was born out of Beth’s own journey — one filled with ministry, motherhood, seminary, shock, surrender, and the unmistakable leading of the Holy Spirit. Today we talk about the making of the film, what it was like to return to screenwriting later in life, and how God is using her story to spark conversations about faith, life, and calling in a complicated world.

Beth shares about:

• God’s unexpected adventures

• Writing a screenplay in her 50s

• Taking a faith-based film project onto a secular college campus

• Raising her family while raising ministries

• Her daughter’s surprise role in the film

• Her heart to help others step into Christian filmmaking

• How God uses every season — even the ones we didn’t choose

This conversation is honest, tender, surprising, and full of hope. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Listen in and be encouraged — God is not done writing your story.

Her BA from UPENN’s Annenberg School of Communications, MDIV from Drew Theological School and Fortune 50 corporate background also inform her filmmaking ministry. She follows God’s call to creating faith-based films understanding that movies profoundly influence people and culture.
