Have you heard about the new movie The Best Christmas Pageant Ever? This is a fun film about based on the classic children’s book of the same name!

About The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. Featuring Lauren Graham. Screenplay by Ryan Swanson and Platte F. Clark & Darin McDaniel.

Watch the Trailer!

I’m looking forward to seeing this awesome family movie!

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever will be releasing in theaters on November 8th.

God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust is the 5th movie in the film franchise. Even though it’s part of a series of movies, it is a stand alone movie.

In this new movie, Reverend David Hill, amid political and spiritual turmoil, steps up to run for Congress after an incumbent’s sudden death. Battling against Peter Kane, who aims to erase religion from policy, David’s fight becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for people seeking moral leadership in a divided world.

God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust Movie Review

The story starts with a pastor having to tell a mother carrying her little baby that the women’s center has been shut down, and they can no longer offer any help. He was not happy about it either. So when the opportunity presented itself for him to have a platform to make a difference in peoples lives, he took it.

The film is engaging with a captivating story that keeps the whole family entertained. God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust allows families and friends to discuss how to engage in this current political climate with courage. Most importantly, this film demonstrates that Christians should be optimistic, excited, and hopeful about the future.

Watch the Movie Trailer!

The cast of God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust is phenomenal! David A.R. White (God’s Not Dead), Dean Cain (Adventures of Lois & Clark), Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy), Scott Baio (Happy Days), Samaire Armstrong (The O.C.), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), and Ray Wise (RoboCop) with guest appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee, Raymond Arroyo and Newsboys. Of course, music by the Newsboys is always great.

This interview with Samaire Armstrong is a must watch!

I loved this movie! The storyline, the cast, the message, all of it. The writing is amazing.

When told to talk a little bit less about God and little bit more on the dirt on his opponent, he said it was useless to fight dark with dark. “Repay no one evil for evil but give thought to do what is honorable.”

“You don’t win unless you play by their rules.” “I’ve already lost if I do.”

“If you know it’s God’s voice, why wouldn’t you listen?”

“God gave you a voice. God gave you a vote.”

There are too many great moments, and quotes to share!

The political discussion and debates in this movie are discussions currently happening this election year. They will inspire you to get out, use your voice and vote!

I highly recommend God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust for the whole family. There is nothing in it that kids can’t see.

This film is uplifting and relevant just like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was 85
years ago in that Pastor Dave approaches politics with moral courage, loves his
country, stands up to corruption, and represents the principles that made America
great and continue to make America great.

The new White Bird movie is a beautiful, family-friendly story of courage. From the best-selling author of Wonder, the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter.

The New White Bird Movie

In White Bird, we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Christopher Robin), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, WHITE BIRD, like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.

Watch the Movie Trailer!

I love this storyline, and am looking forward to see Helen Mirren in this movie. White Bird will be releasing in theaters on October 4th.

I remember when this happened, and was in the news. You know how I love faith based movies. I’m looking forward to seeing the new movie Average Joe!

Watch the trailer to see why!

Average Joe A New Movie!

Synopsis:
High school football coach Joe Kennedy had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. From the director and producers of God’s Not Dead and the producers of The Blind comes Average Joe, in theaters beginning October 11.

I’m always ready to watch a good faith based movie. So I was glad to hear about a new movie with an incredible story. The Firing Squad is inspired by the true story from 2015 of three Christians who face execution by firing squad in a third world country.

About The Movie

The Firing Squad is a faith based, biographical drama that is rated PG-13 for brief violence, thematic elements, and drug references. Parents: While they don’t actually show anyone getting shot, You see them firing the quns, and know they were shot. They do show a couple of the men laying on the ground with a trickle of blood coming out of their mouths. They do not show any wounds.

The movie stars James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo (“God’s Not Dead”, “Let There Be Light”), and Cuba Gooding, Jr. and is directed by Timothy Chey (Freedom, David and Goliath, and more!)

The Firing Squad Movie Review

I don’t recall hearing about this story at the time it happened. Either I missed it, or the news didn’t cover it. So I didn’t know anything about the story.

The movie starts with 2 of the men who are dealing drugs, and planning a big deal. They planned every detail, including how to hide the drugs from inspectors. I found The Firing Squad did a great job of conveying the men before their arrests.

However, they did not make it through security. They were caught in the airport in Indonesia, and sent straight to prison. There was a strict, no drugs policy. So their appeal was turned down.

The story follows them during their short stay in prison. The were not Christians before going to prison, and were not too receptive to the other prisoners telling them about Jesus. When they finally agreed to go to an inmate led church service, they accepted Jesus.

But that’s not the end of the story!

The peace they found made a discernable difference in the men. Then they went on to lead others to Christ. Including someone that you thought never would! There is another surprising part of The Firing Squad storyline. A love story! You would not expect a love story to take place in a foreign prison with inmates scheduled to die. But there is!

The Firing Squad is not like any faith based movie I’ve seen before. In that it deals with the few days leading up to the death of the prisoners’. I loved this movie because of how good a job they did with portraying how much peace the men had after accepting Jesus. I highly recommend you go see The Firing Squad!

Be sure to watch the credits! You’ll find out more about their campaign for Jesus. There goal is to win 1,000,000 souls for Jesus!

Here’s my favorite quote from from that.

“Listen, We all face some kind of firing squad in our lives and yet with faith in the Lord that challenge can lead us to true peace in this insane world.”

Make Plans Now!

The Firing Squad will be in theatres nationwide August 2!

Also on their site you can find free screenings of the movie in cities across the US.

I love a good biography. I, also, have loved listening to the music of Rebecca St. James and For King + Country for years. By the way, one of my kids just told me a couple of months ago that they are siblings! So when I heard about the new movie Unsung Hero, I knew I would love it. I just watched it, and I was right. I love it!

Unsung Hero

Synopsis:

When David Smallbone’s successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY’s Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum’s faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.

Unsung Hero Movie Review

I was moved to tears several times over the things that God did for them. I actually lost track of the number of times I was moved to tears. But Unsung Hero is not just a tearjerker. It’s a story of faith, hope, and love of family. And what God can do in our lives.

The family moved to the United States with the promise of a job. When they got here, the job was gone. They started taking care of yards to have money coming in. They also added housecleaning to make ends meet. The whole family pitched in to work together, and to put all the money earned into the family money jar. All while, the father, David, kept looking for work in the music industry.

So many things happened to knock them down. A health scare, hospital bills, no vehicle, depression, among others. The whole time, the family prayed, worked, and stuck together.

On of my favorite parts was the Please and Thank You wall. The family started writing down what they were praying for and put it under the Please heading on the wall. It was so cool to watch their prayers come to fruition and them moving the requests to the Thank You side.

Here is a poster you can download and use for your family!

Unsung Hero ends with Rebecca getting a record deal. I did not want the movie to end! I wanted more of this beautiful family’s story. Thankfully, at the end of the movie, we see pictures of each of the family members, and what they are doing now. So be sure to stay for the credits when you see this movie in theaters.

I loved this movie! Unsung Hero is an awesome family movie, suitable for all ages. I highly recommend you see this movie!

From the moment I learned about the new movie, The Hopeful, I was looking forward to watching it. This movie did not disappoint. Scroll down for my The Hopeful movie review, and a giveaway!

The Hopeful

Synopsis:

William Miller’s faith is in ruins. After miraculously surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions why God spared him. His search for wisdom leads to an astonishing prophesy — the world is going to end. The Hopeful unfolds as a story of a man burdened with the knowledge of Christ’s return. Miller’s message resonates with some—even as it is scorned by others.

When a young woman named Ellen Harmon listens to one of his sermons she is transformed. And through her witness the message begins to take flight. The preaching grows beyond prophecy and develops into a more holistic vision for how Christians should live and worship. We see blossoming the seeds of a new global movement of faith —the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Hopeful is the true story of a community whose lives were transformed as they learn what it means to truly wait for Jesus. This sweeping drama, set in 19th century New England, invites audiences of all ages to imagine how
hope can change the world.

The Hopeful Movie Review

The Hopeful is a very well done period piece seen in flashbacks as a father tells his children the story.

We see the excitement of the people believing that the Lord was coming back on that certain day. Then the disbelief and sorrow they experienced when the Lord didn’t return.

There were a lot of people that “fell off the path”, believing that if the Lord didn’t return on that specific day, He is not coming back.

We follow the believers as they regroup to share the message from the Lord, without concentrating on a return date. This includes the people pushing to move church worship to Saturday, the 7th day of the week.

After this regrouping, Ellen Harmon started seeing visions. Some of the community didn’t believe here, including some of her own family. She marries a young man, James White, that was active in sharing about the day the Lord was expected to return. Together, they continue to share the Lord’s message. Through having kids, no money, sickness, and the death of children, they remain faithful.

This all leads to the forming of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Through Ellen’s visions, they establish the tenants of their faith. No alcohol, coffee, or tea. The return to “the diet of Eden”, no meat, only fruits, vegetables, and grains. After her husbands sickness, Ellen called for the establishment of healthcare as a principal concern of the church. They now operate hospitals, and medical clinics around the world. AdventHealth is now the largest not-for-profit Protestant health care provider in the United States.

The father’s story ends with saying “The Bible says that the good news of Jesus and His soon return must go to all the world, and then He will return to take us home. Today is only the beginning.”

The credits at the end of the movie have pictures of the actor, and the real person that they portrayed, along with a sentence or two about them.

Ellen White continued traveling, preaching, and writing until her death at the age of 87, in 1915. The Smithsonian Institution has named Ellen White as one of the 100 most influential Americans of all time.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Hopeful. It held my attention the entire time. The Hopeful is a great movie suitable for the whole family. Whether you are an Adventist, or not, I recommend The Hopeful if you are looking for a faith based movie to watch.
