Building Faith Through Fantasy: The Story Behind The Lost Healer with Filmmaker Wilson Hickman

In this powerful episode of Confidence and Coffee, Ashley Henriott sits down with Wilson Hickman, writer and director of The Lost Healer — a fantasy series that blends adventure, light, and faith.

Wilson shares the deeper meaning behind his work and how each character represents a stage of faith: seeking, wrestling, and believing. Together, they explore the parallels between storytelling and spiritual life, how fantasy reveals timeless biblical truths, and why creative excellence is a form of worship.

Ashley also opens up about her own story, growing up outside of the church, losing her sister to addiction, and learning to trust God through grief and redemption.

Key Takeaways:

• How fantasy storytelling can reflect real spiritual battles
• The importance of standing firm in truth in a culture that blurs good and evil
• Why sharing the Gospel with loved ones can feel both terrifying and holy
• The power of creativity as a tool for healing and witnessing

Scriptures Mentioned:

• John 16:8
• Romans 12:2
• Mark 12:28-34
