I Disappeared... To Film a Movie. Here's What's Happening!

<p>So… if you’ve been wondering why there haven’t been new episodes for the last couple of weeks, it’s because I had to hit PAUSE on the podcast while I spent nearly three weeks <strong>filming a movie.</strong> 😳🎬</p><p>Yeah. That was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card.</p><p>In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I unexpectedly ended up playing <strong>Marilyn Cross in the feature film Giant Killer</strong>—and honestly, the story started long before I ever knew a movie was coming.</p><p>About 18 months ago, God gave me a dream that one week later was interpreted by Kris Vallotton from the stage at UPPERROOM Church in Dallas. At the time, I had no idea what it meant or how literally parts of it would eventually play out.</p><p>I’m sharing: </p><ul><li>the bizarre story of how this opportunity happened, </li><li>the little ways God showed up throughout the process, </li><li>what it was like walking onto a movie set for the first time, </li><li>my favorite scene to film, </li><li>and some of the things I learned while doing something that felt completely outside my normal world.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>More than anything, I wanted to give you a peek into my own wild ride of following Jesus when obedience takes you somewhere unexpected, scary, and very different from what you thought your life was going to look like.</p><p>And hopefully, my story encourages you to pay attention to the things God may be preparing you for—even when you don’t understand them yet.</p><p>I hope you enjoy this little glimpse behind the scenes. ❤️</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🎬 FOLLOW The GIANT KILLER Movie</strong></p><p>⭐️ <strong>Giant Killer on IMDb:</strong><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15172128/?ref_=fn_t_3" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠View Giant Killer on IMDb⁠</a></p><p>🎥 <strong>Giant Killer Movie Hub — cast, BTS, updates + more:</strong><a href="https://msha.ke/giantkiller2026/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠Giant Killer on Milkshake⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>☕️ STAY CONNECTED WITH JAVA WITH JEN &amp; See the BTS:</strong></p><p>📲 <strong>Instagram: Highlights --&gt; &quot;Movie BTS&quot;</strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/javawithjen" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.instagram.com/javawithjen⁠</a></p><p>❤️ <strong>Support Java with Jen on Patreon:</strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/javawithjen" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠https://www.patreon.com
