Morgan James Episode 004: Movie Magic – The backstory of Chris Whaley’s book The Masked Saint and the movie by the same name.
Listen in as Chris Whaley, Jody Maberry and and I chat about the book, the movie and how it all happened on today’s episode of Morgan James Radio.
The Masked Saint revolves around the real life of Chris Whaley (Chris Samuel in the book), a professional wrestler and family man who realizes he needs something more. His calling to become a pastor prompts him to retire from wrestling and move with his wife and daughter to a small town. Yet the battles he faced in the ring are minor compared to the challenges he must overcome at his new church. From an overbearing congregant and failing attendance to mounting bills for church repairs, Chris has his hands full.
We have a lot of fun sharing the process and where the book and movie is today. Hint available now on Netflix and still in bookstores today!
