In the Market with Janet Parshall

Derrick Warfel

Derrick Warfel was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the PA Bible Belt. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Princeton University, a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, and an MFA in Cinema from the University of Southern California. After eight years on staff with CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ), Derrick spent the next four decades in the film industry, creating and teaching media from a biblical Christian worldview. An award-winning writer, director, and producer, he has completed more than eight feature films and numerous short films. In recent years, Derrick became increasingly concerned by the growing normalization of UFO narratives in popular media—particularly the claim that alleged extraterrestrial messages are guiding humanity toward a new stage of evolution. UFOs and God and its companion feature documentary are his response—a biblical, clear-sighted examination designed to equip the church to recognize and resist the spiritual dangers embedded in these messages.
