I Still Believe was released in theaters on March 13, 2020. It was the #2 movie opening weekend. It was the #3 movie overall.

Then the movie theaters shut down during the pandemic. I Still Believe was rushed to video on demand on March 27th.

I Still Believe became available May 5th, on BLU-RAY, DVD, and digital. It stars KJ Apa, Britt Robertson, Gary Sinise and Shania Twain.

Check out the I Still Believe trailer….

I Still Believe is the real life story of singer Jeremy Camp. The movie starts when he was a teenager, follows him to college, starting his music career, meeting and marrying his wife, Melissa. His story doesn’t end there, though, it’s just getting started.

Melissa, who was diagnosed with cancer in college, was healed of her cancer. It returned right after their wedding. Trusting God through the bad times is a very big theme of this movie.

Here’s a favorite quote of mine from Melissa Camp in the movie….

God grants healing. Miracles do happen. Yet to another, His call is to suffer, even die. They both have value. Each is a chapter in a bigger story.

Suffering doesn’t destroy faith. It refines it.

I have an exclusive clip for you! The wedding scene from I Still Believe!

I Still Believe is an amazing story of God’s love, the power of prayer, miracles, and accepting His will. What if God doesn’t want me to be healed? What if it means losing a loved one?

This movie doesn’t end on a sad note, though. We see what happened after Melissa’s death. The music Jeremy wrote, and what God did in his life.

I loved this movie! Since I watched this movie for free online to do this review, I ran out to the store to buy my own copy!

I Still Believe is rated PG. My kids are all adults now, but I would have watched this with any of my kids, at any age.

Christmas Jars is a new movie being released in time to watch with your family this Christmas. Based on the novel Christmas Jars by Jason Wright. This movie tells the story of a young women who was left in a diner as an infant.

Christmas Jars – Movie Review & DVD Giveaway

The waitress that found Hope adopted her, and they had a great life together. Hope’s mother dies, and right after the funeral her house is broken in to.  While the police are there taking her report, she finds a jar full of money by her front door that says Christmas Jar.

This gift prompts Hope to search for the meaning of the Christmas Jar. She finds many other people that have also received a Christmas Jar. Hope is working for an online magazine, and she convinces her boss to let her write an article about the Christmas Jars. During her research, Hope meets the family that gave away the first Christmas Jar. Such a heartwarming story, and the family says that was the best Christmas they ever had, even though they gave away all their Christmas money.

Hope gets very close to the family, especially one of the sons, while learning more about the Christmas Jar. Due to her getting close to the family, and finding out they don’t want anyone to know that they are responsible for the Christmas Jars, Hope tells her boss she no longer wants to publish her article. He tells her he is publishing it anyway. In front of members of the family that just found out she works for a magazine. The family is hurt, and doesn’t want to see her anymore.

Hope and her mother had a tradition of eating Christmas Eve dinner at the same diner where her mother found her. This Christmas Eve, Hope got what she had been hoping and dreaming for for a long time. Only because of the Christmas Jar.

I’m not going to give away the ending! You’ll have to watch the movie for yourself to find out! lol

Christmas Jars is unrated, but I would say it would be a G. I saw nothing in this movie that I wouldn’t have let my kids, of any age, watch. The themes of this movie are giving, kindness, and miracles. With a little romance, too, but only rated G romance.

I loved that Christmas Jars shows that being kind and giving to others can bring great joy to you. Especially if you give sacrificially. This is a great movie to reinforce that to our families. And show us all that miracles do happen.

Christmas Jars is in theaters for one night only! November 4th, 2019.

Buy tickets to see Christmas Jars.

Pre-order the Christmas Jars DVD. Releasing on DVD November 29, 2019.

Who do we turn to when tragedy strikes? Faith leaders are the ones that we usually call upon when a tragedy or mass trauma strikes. They guide us, and our communities, toward healing and restoration.

But who heals the healers?

Healing the Healers is a new media resource where clergy, laity, social workers, first responders and other spiritual care providers facing community-level trauma can go for support. The five-part film series features a church pastor leading an important conversation with other faith leaders. All have ministered to their communities after a mass trauma or during ongoing community problems. The pastors who have been working in the trenches provide help and support for others going through similar things.

Check out the Healing the Healers trailer:

You can view trailers for each episode on the website.

The 5 part series is available for purchase on the website as a dvd set that includes license rights to screen the series in a group setting with pastors, and other leaders. The set also includes a discussion guide that includes written reflections by scholars, clergy and other experts.

I love that the website has emergency phone numbers that congregation leaders can use for immediate support.

If you, as a leader of your congregation, are experiencing a personal emergency or mental health crisis, call —, the disaster distress helpline(——–), or the national suicide prevention lifeline (———) for immediate assistance. If you are experiencing vocational distress, contact representatives at ——, by emailing ——, or by calling ——-, to receive personal care or coaching.

*Telephone numbers and email addresses removed by me for posting here. They are visible on the Healing the Healers website.

Our pastors, and other leaders, go above and beyond on a daily basis for all of us. It’s about time they had someplace to turn for help. I have viewed some of these and this series looks to me like it will really help our leaders to heal so they can continue to be there to help their churches, and communities with our many needs. The pastors who have been working in the trenches provide help and support for others going through similar things.

To learn more about this amazing resource for Pastors other leaders, visit Healing the Healers.

Please share with those in your life that who can use it!

After I visited the Artsy Olive website, I just knew I was going to love their personalized prints! I had a hard time deciding which print to get as there are so many great ones!

The deciding was the hard part! Ordering was super easy. The website walks you through it, and you get to see a preview of what your print will look like personalized with your choice of name, or phrase on it. I chose the 7.7×7.7 size, but there are several to choose from.

I ordered my print on a Wednesday night at 10:30. I received an email saying that my order had shipped the next day, Thursday, at 1:30 in the afternoon. So fast! My print was delivered on Saturday.

I was impressed with the packaging. My print was sandwiched between 2 layers of packing peanuts. It wasn’t going anywhere! lol I blocked out the family’s last name for privacy reasons. And so they don’t know the gift is for them!

Inside, it had corner protectors on it, and was wrapped in plastic. My print arrived in perfect condition!

My personalized print is amazing! It looks just like the picture on the website.

It looks so good hanging on the wall! I will be giving this print as a gift. I’m sure it’s going to look amazing on their walls, too.

I love this print so much, I’m going to be ordering one (or more! lol) for myself. Include in the box was this card. It explains how you can order a frame with your first print, then order prints only on future orders, and use the same frame. You can store up to 12 prints in one frame! How awesome is that! Store all your holiday prints behind the current one you are displaying. No storing multiple frames when you aren’t using them! An awesome space saver for those with limited storage space. And a money saver! Only by one frame!

This is going to be an awesome Christmas gift! They are going to love it!
