Jesus told many parables, some even fantastical. Yet some Christians presume these parables are simple allegories. Is this really the point of parables?

Along with producing and co-writing The Road to Kaeluma, Perry voices Master Armstrong and Old Man Herman! In his role at Jesus Film Project®, he creates content for podcasts, short films, YouTube and other media platforms that can be heard and viewed globally. He feels called to innovate and create new avenues to reach the world digitally with the gospel.

Perry and his wife Brooke live with their dog Willow in Greenville, South Carolina. Brooke also works at Cru, serving as a writer and editor for FamilyLife.
Landon Hawley co-wrote and directed The Road to Kaeluma and voiced the characters of Jehu and Elrin, alongside a talented cast and crew. At Jesus Film Project, Landon crafts scripts for short films, mini-series and other types of media that can be used as ministry tools around the world.
