Why CBN Films’ ‘Oracles of God’ is a Must-See for This Generation 

In October 2023, the crew of “Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament” gathered in Israel, ready to begin filming a documentary about the New Testament’s origins and authenticity. Two days before cameras were set to roll, Israel was attacked. 

In an instant, what was meant to be a season of storytelling became a season of survival. Most of the crew—Israeli citizens—were directly affected: some lost loved ones, others were called to the reserves. Erin Zimmerman, the director of the film and the only American on set, stayed in Jerusalem, watching the heartbreak and resilience of her friends unfold in real time. 

The moment felt like yet another roadblock in a project already marked by years of unexpected delays from the global shutdowns during COVID-19. 

“It got to be almost comical, the delays with this project,” Zimmerman said. “At one point I said, ‘Okay, God, this seems like a waste of time.’ … He answered me [that] it was His plan for me to be there on October seventh.” 

A Call to the Airwaves: Andrew Brunet’s Ministry of Faith and Perseverance

Andrew Brunet, a dedicated Christian communicator, embodies a career defined by unexpected turns, profound personal challenges, and an unshakeable commitment to broadcasting the Gospel. His journey from high school dropout to the head of marketing at WOTG TV Network, and host of an internationally syndicated show, serves as a powerful testament to finding one’s calling amidst severe adversity. 

After being mentored by Chuck Bryant of WOTG Radio Network, Brunet was ignited with passion, causing him to realize: “I could get the Gospel out to the airwaves,” Brunet said. “Christ didn’t come for us just to sit and be silent, but for us to make a difference.”
