Testimony Series: Letting God Write Your Story - with Gigi Wilcox

Episode 191 - Testimony Series: Letting God Write Your Story - with Gigi Wilcox


This episode is a part of our December testimony Series. Gigi Wilcox shares her journey of discovering her passion for filmmaking through divine inspiration and guidance. At 14, she was unsure of her future, but a series of events led her to realize God's plan for her. Watching 'The Chosen' with her family, she identified the powerful impact storytelling could have. Inspired to create a show about American history and the founding fathers, she felt God guiding her steps, including a surprising parallel with Director John Irwin's project, 'Founders.' Gigi emphasizes the importance of seeking God's guidance in one's path and highlights her efforts to use filmmaking for His glory.


Bio:


A homeschool graduate from Clint, Texas whose biggest mission is following God’s creative Will, GiGi is fully invested into the study and practice of biblical storytelling, especially via cinematography, directing, and screenwriting. She has taught thoughtful high school classes on art and worldviews, directed short films to alight truth-seeking fires in her community, and continues responding to God’s progressing opportunities to tell stories through both her own growing films and by organizing youth to embrace Godly character through creative realism.
