The documentary film titled Send Proof follows Stephens in his search for evidence surrounding miracles. When his former pastor leaves the faith, Stephens finds his own worldview falling apart, and embarks on a journey to find proof for the supernatural. Along the way, he encounters sharp atheists and skeptics but also finds others who claim to have evidence for miraculous healings.
Stephens always wrestled with the topic of miracles. He grew up in a Christian home and was taught to believe in God at a young age.
However, he was abused by his mother, who was also his Bible school teacher. The abuse would result in C-PTSD, and lingering questions about the nature of God.
When Stephens was a teenager, he saw his mother conned by faith healers, and rejected modern miracles as ruses to make money.
In 1999, he went to a Christian college and began experiencing doubts while studying philosophy. He reasoned that seeing miracles with his own eyes would erase his doubts. Having seen what he thought were miracles, he became an associate pastor. But then out of spiritual hunger, he went to the school at Bethel Church in Redding, California.
