The Physical and the Supernatural: Rhonda and Jason Halbert’s Journey of Loss and Redemption

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes husband-and-wife creative team Rhonda and Jason Halbert to discuss Architect, the breathtaking conclusion to their supernatural trilogy, The Goodpasture Chronicles. Between 2020 and 2023, the Halberts faced a relentless wave of loss: multiple family deaths, the destruction of their Nashville home in a catastrophic flood, and the unraveling of family foundations they thought were solid. During that tough season Jason began hearing a story, and when he came home and told Rhonda, she hit record on her phone. Three and a half hours later, they had the entire arc of a trilogy. At its heart is a question born from Jason’s desperate prayer in the rubble of their home: can the physical and supernatural work together? Rhonda brings the emotional depth and character development; Jason brings the lore, mystery, and creative vision and together they’ve written something that a therapist friend told them was inadvertently a form of therapy, processing real pain through fictional lives. With a TV adaptation now in the works and a spinoff young adult series on the horizon, the Halberts’ story is proof that God doesn’t waste a single broken thing.
