What happens when a successful Hollywood scriptwriter encounters Jesus Christ? For Tim Maschler, who wrote for iconic shows like Hawaii Five-0, Starsky and Hutch, and Magnum PI, it meant walking away from mainstream entertainment to pioneer something more meaningful.
We discuss:
• How Tim experienced a dramatic conversion to Christ while writing for mainstream TV
• How Tim and his wife, Melissa, began creating explicitly faith-based content after leaving Hollywood
• The Maschlers' current project "Me and Johnny Cash" is about a teen using Johnny Cash's Christian message to influence his school
• The importance of parents being "eternal gatekeepers" of their children's media, even content from faith-based studios requires parental evaluation
• Tim's collaboration with John Paul the Great Catholic University
