The Power of Film | Hank Erwin, Father of Film Producers, Andy & Jon Erwin

I Can Only Imagine 2 – in theaters now!


For former Alabama State Senator, Hank Erwin, it was his bedtime stories told to his two young sons that has most powerfully changed history. His true stories of Woodlawn football ignited in his boys a desire become film makers. Forty years later the world now knows Hank’s sons as the Erwin Brothers, Andy and Jon, who have gone on to produce and direct ten faith-based motion pictures, all of which have won Dove Awards for outstanding achievements in Christian film. These films include “Woodlawn,” “Jesus Revolution,” and “I Can Only Imagine,” which was the highest grossing independent film of 2018. I Can Only Imagine 2 is in theaters as of March of 2026. In February of 2025, “House of David” faith-based television series came out on Amazon Prime video hitting the number 1 spot on the platform with 22 million viewers in the first 17 days.


Hank became a committed Christian in college and has been married 52 years to his wife, Shelia. With their two married sons, they have seven grandchildren. Hank attended Dallas Seminary to become a preacher. But, ended up in radio and TV for nearly thirty years as a journalist and talk show host. As Alabama senator, Hank made impact on the state including bringing gambling to a standstill. Right now, Hank Erwin is behind the important national Great American Prayer Revival GAP26. Hank Erwin discusses the “Power of Film for Good.”
