Church People (2021)
Let's get back to the Gospel!
Maybe it's the American culture rubbing off on us, but all too often it seems we as a Christian church are constantly after something new, something more. Something bigger. We want our worship services to be full-fledged concerts, and our sermons to be impassioned pep-talks that make us feel better about ourselves. We look for new ways to appear relevant and attractive to non-believers.
But honestly... What could be bigger than the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
I'm usually wary of promoting a movie before I've seen it. However, I loved the trailer for "Church People" so much I took a chance on it, and the movie did not disappoint! It's fun, funny, heartwarming, and so well done. All the actors were spectacular, and the few characters I found annoying at times annoyed me exactly as they would if they were real people at my own church. The comedy was funny, and I absolutely LOVED the Gospel presentation. I highly recommend "Church People"!
Fight (2021)
"You gotta KNOW what it is you're fighting for!"
Sometimes life knocks you down--whether through your own choices, outside circumstances, or both. And when that happens, it can be so easy to stay down, to give up. To wallow in despair because redemption seems beyond impossible...
"Fight" shows another option, a harder but so much more fulfilling option.
Former promising boxer Bo Lawson (Travis Hancock) is trapped in the downward spiral of alcoholism. His wife Kacie (Sarah Cleveland) finally takes their kids and leaves him to protect them, and then he's fired from his most recent job shortly after. Thankfully, he has a friend and mentor in his boxing trainer Sal (John French) who, in a few passionate speeches that reminded me of the movies Courageous and War Room, challenges him to get back up and face the obstacles.
Not only does this movie inspire you to stand up and fight, but it also challenges the notion that faith-based films, especially those of a low budget, are cheesy. "Fight" is a realistic story with an AMAZING soundtrack and honest character portrayals from an all-volunteer cast.
I'm Not Ashamed (2016)
SO inspiring!
I highly recommend this movie! I've struggled with some of the same spiritual issues as Rachel did, and her story inspired me to want to be more compassionate and to draw ever closer to Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior.
I Can Only Imagine (2018)
Powerful and Inspiring
This is one of my top favorite movies, and the song of the same name one of my favorite songs. Another powerful reminder of how God can heal a broken relationship and use it to produce something that will help heal millions of other broken souls, how He turns something ugly into something beautiful. And we could all use a little more Hope and Redemption in this world, right?
