Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of the 1970s 'Jesus Movement' film wave, when churches started producing their own counter-programming to Hollywood's youth rebellion films. This one barely survives in church basement archives.

Trivia

Director Douglas Lloyd McIntosh allegedly funded this through his California ministry's van outreach program—meaning the 'God's Love' vehicle may have been literally their actual ministry van.
