In the latest episode of Behind The Mike Podcast, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Cameron and B.J. Arnett, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo who have been making waves in Christian media. Their latest project, The Forge, is the much-anticipated film from the Kendrick Brothers, set to hit theaters nationwide on August 23. This conversation was rich with insight, humor, and heartfelt moments as we delved into the movie, their personal experiences on set, and the undeniable presence of God in their lives.
The Forge: A Story of Redemption and Hope
The Forge is a film that promises to touch hearts and inspire change. Like many of the Kendrick Brothers’ previous films, it centers around themes of faith, perseverance, and the transformative power of God’s love. Set against the backdrop of a small, struggling community, the film follows the journey of a blacksmith who faces seemingly insurmountable odds, only to find that the fires of life can forge the strongest of souls.
Cameron and B.J. Arnett play pivotal roles in this story. Cameron portrays the lead character, whose life undergoes a profound transformation as he confronts both external and internal challenges. B.J., playing his wife, brings depth and warmth to her role, creating a beautiful onscreen dynamic that is both authentic and compelling.
The Onscreen Kiss: A Moment Years in the Making
One of the highlights of our conversation was discussing a particularly special moment in The Forge—Cameron and B.J.’s first onscreen kiss as husband and wife. Despite being married in real life, this was the first time they shared such a moment on camera.
Their love for each other, both on and off-screen, shines through in this film, adding a layer of authenticity that is rare and precious in the world of cinema.
Working with the Kendrick Brothers: A Shared Vision
Cameron and B.J. spoke highly of their experience working with the Kendrick Brothers, known for their commitment to producing faith-based films that challenge and uplift. The Arnett's praised the directors’ ability to create a family-like atmosphere on set, where every cast and crew member is valued and encouraged.
The Arnett's also expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside a talented and passionate cast—Priscilla Shirer, Karen Abercrombie, T.C. Stallings, and newcomer, Aspen Kennedy, among others. They highlighted the camaraderie that developed among the actors, many of whom share a deep faith, creating a supportive environment that felt more like a ministry than a job.
God’s Leading in Their Lives
Throughout our conversation, it was clear that Cameron and B.J. Arnett are deeply committed to following God’s leading in their lives and careers. Both have experienced moments where they had to rely entirely on their faith, trusting that God was guiding them even when the path ahead was unclear.
Cameron reflected on his journey in the entertainment industry, sharing how he left a successful career in secular media to pursue roles that align with his faith.
Their stories are a testament to the power of surrendering to God’s will, even when it means stepping into the unknown. They serve as an inspiration to anyone who might be struggling with their own calling, reminding us that God’s plans are always for our good and His glory.
A Film to Watch, A Story to Share
As we wrapped up our conversation, it was evident that The Forge is more than just a movie—it’s a message of hope, redemption, and the incredible things God can do when we allow Him to work in our lives. Cameron and B.J. Arnett’s involvement in the film is not just about acting; it’s about living out their faith and using their talents to point others to Christ.
I encourage everyone to watch The Forge when it releases in theaters on August 23. It’s a film that will challenge you, inspire you, and remind you of the beauty that can come from the fires of life. And as you watch Cameron and B.J. on screen, know that their love, both for each other and for God, is as real and genuine as it gets.
In the meantime, be sure to listen to this episode of Behind The Mike Podcast. Cameron and B.J. offer so much wisdom and insight, not just about the film, but about life, faith, and the incredible journey that God has taken them on. Their story is one that deserves to be heard, and I’m honored to share it with you.
