First of all, I got saved at Vacation Bible School around 1980-81.... known and loved God all my life. I could tell you story after story of how He's loved and saved me. Second, this movie, above all else, just shows people experiencing that same love and joy. You could feel the family of God around you in the theatre quietly lifting up their hearts in praise as they were seeing their own stories shown on screen.
This is not another cheesy hybrid Hallmark Christian film. It's beautifully done and probably the best movie I've ever seen.
Many hearts will be touched by the simple message. I kept waiting for Hollywood's message of SELF as God to creep in, but it didn't. Just an amazing film. Light, funny at times, and very uplifting.
I wonder what role I will play. I basically pulled out of it all years ago. Got into natural health, left the institutional church, homeschooled my kids. We've done activities and I had friendships here and there but I spent a large amount of my time (95%) on my marriage, our home, and my kids. Covid stuff barely affected us, we were already rural and comfortable. The kids have a decent understanding of the basics of the OT, and we went through almost every book of the new testament together, old school style. Now that they are leaving the nest I wonder if we'll be able to help the kids that are rescued when all this kicks off..... or people broken and struggling in other ways. I just don't know, but I wonder.
