Ep 18: When Obedience Costs More Than You ExpecteD

What do you do when following God's leading seems to leave your life in pieces? 

In this episode of The Power of OR Podcast, filmmaker Drew Martin, founder of Mighty Motion Pictures, shares the remarkable journey that reshaped his faith. After decades of creating documentaries that boldly championed truth, Drew found himself facing financial collapse, betrayal, and the end of his marriage. 

Rather than questioning God's faithfulness, Drew discovered a deeper invitation: to trust God's purposes even when the outcome made no sense. 

What You'll Hear in This Episode 

  • How Drew seeks God's direction in every creative endeavor 

  • Why God's calling often requires perseverance through unexpected hardship 

  • The spiritual realities behind media, culture, and today's most important issues 

  • How an eternal perspective changes the way we view loss and suffering 

  • Why our identity in Christ matters more than our circumstances 

  • A compelling challenge for men to build a legacy that lasts beyond their careers 

This conversation isn't just for filmmakers. It's for anyone who has experienced disappointment, loss, or seasons when obedience seemed far more costly than expected. 

If you've ever wondered whether God was still at work in the middle of hardship – or questioned whether the sacrifice was worth it – Drew's story offers a powerful reminder that God's greatest work often happens long before we can see the results. 

Sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't seeing the next step. It's continuing to walk in obedience when the path ahead is anything but clear.
