Director Brett Varvel Calls ‘Disciples in the Moonlight’ His Tribute to the Church of Jesus Christ

Brett Varvel’s latest film, “Disciples in the Moonlight,” unfolds in a future where Bibles are outlawed in America, forcing Christians to worship clandestinely. As director and lead actor, Varvel crafts a gripping narrative about a group of believers risking their lives to smuggle Bibles, highlighting the challenges of faith under persecution.

Inspired by his Christian beliefs, Varvel calls the film his “love letter to the Church of Jesus Christ.” He aims to awaken audiences to the preciousness of religious freedom and the Word of God, especially when such liberties are threatened.

Premiered in Indianapolis, the film garnered attention from notable figures, including former Vice President Mike Pence. It is set to debut at the Cannes International Film Festival, promising to reach a global audience with its powerful message.

Varvel hopes the film will spark a movement, encouraging viewers to cherish and defend their faith. “In a time where religious freedoms are increasingly under attack.”
