Ep 365 God's Word says 'You KENDU it!' ft. Actor Ben Davies & Animator Davy Liu
Episode description
Sitting down with humble, sincere and genuine people never gets old.
Today on the Strong By Design podcast hosts Jared Haley and Chris Wilson are blessed to speak with animator and story teller Davy Liu and award winning actor Ben Davies.
Live from Rise Up Con in Sevierville, TN., these two men are using their amazing talents to spread God's truth through storytelling.
Davy Liu, an outstanding animator who worked for Disney for several years on projects like Mulan, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast decided it was time to do things his way. Now he uses Jesus as the example in his storytelling on screen and in his children's books. As Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." His character 'Kendu' comes from this powerful scripture.
Ben Davies, an award-winning actor from films Courageous, Fearless Faith, I'm Not Ashamed, Vindication and many more might be one of the kindest, most humble people you ever meet. Interestingly Ben was also a top-level athlete, at one time he was ranked the No. 1 high school decathlete in the country and went on to collegiate track and field at the University of Florida. Ben has landed the lead role in twenty feature films while earning awards and nominations for 'Best Male Actor" in five film festivals.
Hope you enjoy our conversations with these extraordinary men!
"Our God is almighty. He creates everything with excellence." -Davy Liu
