A movie that could make a difference in your ministry

I just walked back into my office.

I am holding a wet, mascara-laden kleenex.

My eyes are blotchy, but my heart is full.

I have just watched a showing of the new film Couragous.

I went into the room with relatively low expectations. I liked the first two films produced by this team—Facing the Giants and Fireproof. I enjoyed them, but they did not move me.

This one did.

As I was watching the film, I couldn't help but think of the potential of the message that thousands—and hopefully millions—of people will hear when it releases on the big screen on September 30th. It has the potential to change lives, families, and communities.

And it has the potential to speak to the hearts of a generations of girls and their dads.

I'm not writing this blog because the company I work for is working to promote it. I am not writing this blog because I am being encouraged to do so by friends, colleagues or supervisors. I am teling you about it because it is an excellent movie with an inspiring, challenging, and biblical message.

Here's a sneak peek of the movie:

Check out more information about Courageous on its website. And then go circle the date on your calendar. Plan a family outing around it. Encourage other families to go. Offer scholarships for people who can't afford it. Ask your church to purchase a showing and buy up the tickets so you can give them to friends and family. Do whatever you can to get people to see Courageous—the message is that important.

I wish my dad could have watched this movie when I was growing up. Don't let this generation of fathers  miss it, too.
