After watching this movie, you will leave inspired and motivated in conquering your life problems.

War Room

A story about an older wiser woman, Miss Clara who was enlisted to help an apparently perfect family solve their troubles. To all God-fearing domestic violence victims, take note: the Kendrick brothers have a film for you. They’re the filmmakers (Alex Kendrick directs and co-wrote this film with his brother Stephen) whose Christian-themed films “Fireproof” and “Courageous” made an impact among churchgoers even before last year’s slew of faith-based indies were released. 

The film’s pivotal scene happens early on, when Elizabeth sits in her closet, sobbing and praying, “God, make him love me again.” For all the wrong reasons, this is a terrible moment. Because the Kendricks mistook one-dimensional caricatures for real people, they failed to offer Tony with any redeeming characteristics that would make us want to root for his marriage. “Learn to duck so God can hit him,” one of Elizabeth’s coworkers advises women who are abused by their husbands in the film.

This film will move you and will rock your spirit! For your marriage, your children, your community, and your heart, it was a game-changer.

Overcomer

This film is filled with a powerful combination of faith, a dash of humor, and a whole lot of love.

Coach John Harrison’s life is turned upside down when his high school basketball team’s state title ambitions are crushed by unexpected news. John and his family must confront the challenges they face. John is dissatisfied and doubting his usefulness after being asked by the school’s principal to fill-in and coach a sport he doesn’t know or enjoy.  Until he meets a pupil who is suffering from her own journey.

“Overcomer” appears to be aimed towards an audience that isn’t interested in being told a story. It’s geared at a crowd that doesn’t mind if a narrative interrupts a preaching every now and then.

My Brother’s Keeper

My Brother’s Keeper is an excellent example of the faith-based cinema genre. You can’t go wrong with this movie if you’re seeking for a message of faith and hope in the midst of suffering.

My Brother’s Keeper tells the journey of SFC Travis Fox (TC Stallings), a returning combat veteran who is dealing with PTSD. When SFC Ron “Preach” Pearcy (Joey Lawrence) and his whole Ranger unit are killed in a tragic IED strike, Fox and his best friend SFC Ron “Preach” Pearcy (Joey Lawrence) are on their sixth combat tour.

Travis travels back to his hometown to settle the affairs of his parents, who died many years ago. In his pursuit for answers about his parents, he encounters a new PTSD challenge. He gets help from Tiffany Robertson (Keshia Knight-Pulliam), a church counselor, and steadily rediscovers his trust in God, until he discovers a secret. Travis discovers a secret kept by his best friend Donnie Berry (Robert Ri’chard) that hinders his newfound faith, restores his guilt, and makes him think the unthinkable.

Down by the River

Love begins where hope ends. DOWN BY THE RIVER is based on a true story.This movie is about a family dealing with sickle cell illness in their youngest member. 

There are many additional challenges that come into play that test the fundamental foundation of this family, in the midst of this trying and successful time at times.

Woodlawn

As he fights racial tensions on and off the field, a gifted high school football player must learn to appreciate his talent and faith.

WOODLAWN is based on the true story of an Alabama high school football team’s integration and the emergence of Tony Nathan, a former Miami Dolphins running back (well performed by Caleb Castille). 

The film is set in racially violent and devastated Birmingham, Alabama, where four African American girls were brutally slain in their Sunday school classes in 1963 when a bomb was hurled into a crowded African American church, triggering violence that resulted in the deaths of two more people. Racial tensions, violence, and racial divisions persisted until the 1970s, when the genuine events depicted in Woodlawn occurred. In this film, the performance is great. Many famous movies and media figures appear in this film.

Not Easily Broken

Based on the novel by televangelist T.D. Jakes, this faith-based drama follows the trials and tribulations of a married couple forced to reevaluate the strength of their bond after Clarice is injured in a car accident.

Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day
