Creator/executive producer Aaron Benward joins us for a deeper dive into Freevee's original docuseries God. Family. Football. to discuss the project's years long development process, what drew him to the story of Evangel, the unpredictable nature of unscripted TV, drawing inspiration from Friday Night Lights, and more.

God. Family. Football. features the rich, diverse personal stories of Evangel’s players, coaching staff, and the broader Shreveport community, set against the dramatic backdrop of the 2022 Louisiana high school football season. With the perennial high school football powerhouse—14 state championships in the last 20 years—coming off their worst season in school history, redemption is everyone’s goal.

Pastor Denny Duron has returned to the head coaching position to lead this talented group of kids, with dreams of playing in college and the NFL, into prominence on the field, while molding them into future leaders off of it. As the team faces struggle and triumph on and off the field, they are united by coach Duron’s formula for success: “God first, family second, and football third.”
