Description

In the early 1980s, Denzel Washington stood at a profound crossroads that could have changed Hollywood history. While experiencing his first taste of fame from "St. Elsewhere," Washington seriously considered leaving acting entirely to become an ordained minister. Host Solomon "Sol" Bishop explores Washington's genuine theological studies, his spiritual wrestling with questions of calling versus vocation, and the gradual realization that his acting gifts could serve as a form of ministry. Through roles like "Malcolm X," "The Hurricane," and "Fences," Washington discovered that the movie screen could become his pulpit, reaching millions with stories of redemption, justice, and moral courage—transforming entertainment into spiritual service.
