“County Rescue,” Great American Family’s (GAF) first original series, is now airing its second season on Great American Pure Flix.
“County Rescue” explores the unique challenges EMTs and paramedics face. The series shows not only how first responders in training, such as Dani played by Julia Reilly (“Stranger Things”), deal courageously with situations but also how their faith plays a role in the decisions they make.
Actors Kristin Wollett (“Dolphin Tale,” “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust”) and Brett Varvel (“American Underdog,” “Disciples in the Moonlight”), who play Ashley and Andy, respectively, in the series, spoke with ChurchLeaders about what God taught them during the filming of Season 2.

“In Season 2, God taught me that he is faithful,” Wollett shared. “And he continues to remind me of that.”
Wollett recalled when she and Varvel were doing an interview at the end of Season 1, and they mentioned how “special” the series felt and “loved what it stood for.” Wollett then expressed that she desired a second season. “I wanted this Season 2,” she said. “Like I wanted this to continue and prayed and prayed and prayed about it. And then we got it.”
“And it was one of those things where I was reminded, like sitting on set Season 2 every day, being so grateful,” Wollett added. “I was so thankful to sit in the hair and makeup trailer and to sit on set with these people and to talk with directors about what we’re doing in scenes.”
Wollett said the experience made her realize, “Oh my gosh, God knows the desires of my heart and he showed up, and he said, ‘This is what I have for you.’”
The thought of it gave Wollett “chills.”
“It was just such a cool thing,” Wollett said. “[Because] sometimes that doesn’t happen. Sometimes, we pray and we want something so badly, and it doesn’t happen.” But this time, she said, “God showed me that he’s very faithful and he knows the desires of my heart, and it was a pretty amazing thing.”

Varvel agreed and added that one specific moment from Season 2 “deepened my trust in the Lord.”
