David White: Actor, Filmmaker, And Podcast Host
David A. R. White is well-established in the Christian film industry as an actor, filmmaker, and producer. White co-founded Pure Flix Entertainment, a Christian film and television studio best known for producing the ‘God’s Not Dead’ film series. Born in 1970, White began his acting career with a role in the television series ‘Evening Shade’ before transitioning to faith-based filmmaking.
The ‘White House Pod’ podcast appears to be a platform where White interviews various entertainment figures, particularly those who balance their careers with faith commitments. In recent episodes, he has hosted guests like Carlos PenaVega, known for his work with Big Time Rush and his transition to film acting, and comedian Bill Engvall of Blue Collar Comedy Tour fame.
Balancing Faith And Entertainment
White’s podcast seems to focus on conversations with entertainment industry professionals who navigate their faith alongside their careers. This theme aligns with White’s own professional trajectory, having made his mark in faith-based entertainment while maintaining mainstream appeal.
In addition to his podcasting efforts, White remains active in film production. A recent Instagram post indicates that he’s promoting a collection of all five ‘God’s Not Dead’ movies, now available on digital platforms and DVD. Another post shows him at what appears to be the Family Film Awards alongside Kira Reed Lorsch and Vincent DePaul, suggesting his continued involvement in family-friendly entertainment.
Expanding The Conversation
The White House Pod has featured several notable guests in recent months. Just prior to the Granger Smith episode, White interviewed Carlos PenaVega, discussing his journey from Nickelodeon star to romantic lead in the film ‘Mr. Manhattan.’ That episode explored PenaVega’s evolution as an entertainer and how he integrates his faith and family values into his work in the entertainment industry.
Another recent guest was comedian Bill Engvall, known for his work on the highly successful Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Ron White. In that episode, Engvall shared stories about learning from comedy legends like Steve Martin and Jerry Seinfeld, and discussed his experience having his own television show.
White’s podcast appears to be carving out a niche by featuring conversations with entertainers who have complex careers spanning different aspects of the industry while maintaining personal values that may include faith, family, and other core beliefs.
For fans of country music, Christian entertainment, or those interested in the intersection of faith and entertainment, the conversation between White and Smith offers a behind-the-scenes look at how public figures navigate their professional and personal lives while staying true to their values and creative vision.
The full interview with Granger Smith is available on YouTube, with White encouraging his followers to check out the episode for a deeper dive into Smith’s story of resilience, creativity, and faith in the music industry.
