Creating faith-based films and shows is no easy feat for Christian couple Mark Burnett and Roma Downey. They have admitted that they relied heavily on prayer and research in order to get the job done correctly. They are busy working on the film ‘Ben-Hur’ and the new TLC series called ‘Answered Prayers.’ While it seems that the two are on a roll to create inspiring films, Burnett and Downey said they actually devote a lot of time and attention to make sure they get things right. Burnett said they did their homework before embarking on the shows The Bible and A.D. The Bible Continues. He said he told himself before embarking on his last project, ‘It better be authentic and you better not (sic) cross any lines.’ ‘When you're dealing with Jesus in a screenplay, it's not really the time for improvising,’ added Downey.
