Ahead of the release, director Michael Ray Lewis, whose dramatic journey from atheism to Christianity shapes the heart of the film, has been actively engaging national media. Lewis has been featured on leading podcasts and broadcasts such as The Sean McDowell Show, Cross Examined, The Alisa Childers Podcast, Crosswalk Talk, and Kingdom Builder, where he shares his personal search for meaning and the conversations with top theologians that helped shape Universe Designed.

Critics who screened the film early have offered standout endorsements, building anticipation for its debut:

“Universe Designed is, without question, a must-watch… It doesn’t just give you something to think about—it gives you a reason to believe.” — Today’s Christian Entertainment

“One of the best apologetic films I have ever seen.” — Crosswalk

“While most people use science to try to negate God’s role in crafting the universe, this documentary shows that perspective is not the case…The documentary is incredibly well-made and well-directed, with a great supporting cast of highly knowledgeable top Christian apologists giving reliable information.”— Movieguide

Universe Designed takes viewers on a thought-provoking journey through science, philosophy, and faith—featuring interviews with leading Christian apologists and theologians including Sean McDowell, Allen Parr, Erick Hernandez, Stephen Meyer, Alisa Childers, J. Warner Wallace, Gregory Koukl, Frank Turek, Hugh Ross, Mary Jo Sharp, Michael Licona, Fazale Rana, Jeffrey Zweerink, Travis Dickinson, and others.

“My hope is that Universe Designed will spark fresh curiosity and meaningful conversations,” says Lewis. “Whether someone is exploring faith for the first time or wanting deeper confidence in what they believe, I pray this film equips and encourages them.”

Universe Designed offers a timely invitation for skeptics, seekers, and believers alike to consider the possibility of a universe crafted with intention, purpose, and design.
