I Can Only Imagine 2 Isn’t the Sequel You Expect, And That’s the Point
When you think of movie franchises, a true-story rock biopic rarely gets the sequel treatment. Yet that’s exactly the bold move Kingdom Story Company and Lionsgate made when they returned to the world of Bart Millard and MercyMe.

The first film centered on a young Bart Millard and the wounds left by his father and the push for reconciliation and salvation. This time, the roles are reversed.

How Do I Say Goodbye
Five years ago, I was handed a script for a movie about the life of Ronald Reagan. I was asked to write a song or two based on the story of his life. Honestly, I was not sure if I could.
