Rebekah Weigel: Sound of Hope
Rebekah is a dedicated foster/adoptive parent and a staunch advocate for the faith community to care for vulnerable children and families. In addition to her role as a child advocate, Rebekah is a celebrated filmmaker, writer, and producer in the entertainment industry. Alongside her husband Josh, Rebekah co-wrote and produced the critically acclaimed short film, "The Butterfly Circus," which achieved viral success and garnered over 35 awards from prestigious film festivals. Notably, the film received the esteemed Clint Eastwood Filmmaker Award, personally presented by Clint Eastwood at the Carmel Film Festival. Rebekah and her husband Joshua are currently at the helm of "Possum Trot,” as the writers, lead producers and director. Josh and Rebekah were powerfully impacted by the Possum Trot story, and began developing the script eight years ago, moving their family from Los Angeles to Deep East Texas to tell the incredible true story of Bishop and First Lady Donna Martin and their tiny Bennett Chapel church in the rural community of Possum Trot, where 22 families linked arms and courageously adopted 77 of the most difficult-to-place children in the local foster care system. The Possum Trot story has become one of the most well known adoption stories in America and began a national movement to care for vulnerable children that continues today.
Together Josh and Rebekah founded PEACETREE PRODUCTIONS, a company devoted to creating life-changing, spiritually significant entertainment, highlighting critical social issues and powerful narratives aimed at capturing the most compelling stories of our time. The Weigels produced through Peacetree Productions in association with Letitia Wright’s Threesixteen Productions with Angel Studios distributing the film as a follow up to Sound of Freedom. The production budget for “Possum Trot” was raised entirely through donations with a majority of profits being donated to programs and services for vulnerable children and families. Next up on the slate for Peacetree Productions is the highly anticipated feature length adaptation of THE BUTTERFLY CIRCUS.

    Thanks for the interview! Loved it! Stryper has been my favorite band since I was 16. Saw them in concert almost 20 times over the yrs. Michael is such an awesome spirit and good friend. He and his wife have been so supportive to me when I lost my wife over a yr ago. They still are. He asked for prayer for my wife right in the middle of his concert. ❤. God Bless ! 🎹

    Please inform John I am a fraud victim of a man who is pretending to be John Schneider online. He even sent me 2 different audio clips of his voice convincing me that it was him. This will make the 4th day we are talking! It’s important to catch this guy but I don’t know how or what to do. I am an 82 year old retired teacher. He is 64 & trying to convince me that age makes no difference. Watching John’s video’s & podcasts have helped me catch him in lies confirming to me he is an imposter! I don’t know how to get this information to John. Please help me!Time is of the essence! Thank you I really like your podcast!

    It drives me crazy that it has be a certain sound to be "Christian" ridiculous, a lot of narrow-minded people, especially Christians are that way unfortunately. Trust me growing up in a Baptist church I knew the traditional music....still am Christian. Love traditional music of all sorts, but also love other music.
