This is Our Time – DVD Review & Giveaway

disclosure

I recently received a This is Our Time, distributed by Pure Flix, dvd to review. This is Our Time is an inspirational film about what it really means, and what it really takes, to follow the call of God in your life.  While following five friends who have just graduated from college, you see how their strong belief in God binds them together.

“The experiences the characters in THIS IS OUR TIME face are the kinds of real-life ups and downs, successes and devastation, all of us encounter in living life,” said Lisa Arnold, the film’s writer, director and co-producer. “I wanted to tell a story that would resonate with young people just stepping out into the world to make their mark that would help them see that no matter the circumstances they face, God is always with them, loving them, guiding them.”

 

The movie tells the stories of Luke and Alé , who marry right after school and move to India. They serve as missionaries for Embrace A Village, a ministry that cares for those afflicted with leprosy and their families; aspiring financier Catherine, who joins a prestigious financial institution determined to make an impact on corporate America; Ryder, who lands an impressive job in social media and can’t wait to use the powerful medium for a greater good; and Ethan who is seemingly the odd man out, who struggles to find his God-given-purpose and feels sidelined by God. They all are trying to make a meaningful difference in the world.

“What they all come to learn is that it never really was their time,” Arnold said. “It always was, always is, God’s time.”

 

This is Our Time

I really loved This is Our Time! It is an awesome movie that the whole family can watch together. I loved the characters, the story line, and the way the characters faith in God is portrayed. There is nothing in this movie that little kids can’t watch. One of the characters dies, but her death is not shown, though the funeral, the grieving, and the aftermath of her death are. When she dies, the movie realistically shows how the friendship of the group, and their faith, are tested.

This is Our Time shows that although we may be following God’s plan for our lives that doesn’t mean that every thing is going to go perfectly for us. Even though our lives may not turn out the way “we” have planned, God as a plan for our lives. When we find trouble and heartache along the way, we can rest assured that God is there to comfort us and that His plans are far better than our plans.

 

While the characters in This is Our Time are fictional, the Embrace a Village is real. There is a short video on the dvd that explains about the village and what it does. When you watch the movie, make sure you go to the dvd menu and watch this video. It is well worth the time.

For more information visit the This is Our Time website, and visit This is Our Time on Facebook.

This is Our Time will be available nationwide on April 16th. I highly recommend you get this movie to share with your family and friends.

  1. We love to watch movies as a family, but I had not heard of PureFlix videos before. Thanks for the info!

  2. This sounds like a movie that my daughter in law would let her girls watch, she is very strict onwhat movies, shows she allows my granddaughters to watch and I believe this would be one that would benefit all of us to see, they are very supportive of their church missionaries and I believe she would love this movie. PureFix sounds like a company that watches the lanugage, the type of scenes and movie content, to make movies safe for all viewers..
