A Movie that Will Change Lives

Although you will have to wait until September 30th to see the newest movie creation from Sherwood Pictures, I want you to say "Lord willing, I will be there on opening night."

I was fortunate to watch a screening of "Courageous" - the upcoming movie from the creators of "Fireproof." I truly believe that what Fireproof did for marriage, Courageous will do for the family. This is a hard hitting, action packed, emotional film about a group of men set on changing the culture within their own home. If you have enjoyed any of the previous movies from the Sherwood family, then you will absolutely love this one.

Sherwood Pictures is a ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church. Founded in 2002 by Alex Kendrick, associate pastor of media, Sherwood Pictures has released 3 wonderful family friendly films (Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof). Courageous is set to be the 4th film released from this ministry. With the box office success of the last two movies, I hope to see Courageous make its way into all movie theaters. If it comes to your home town, I hope you will find a way to make it to the premier.

The Sherwood Family has proven that every dream is achievable when God is leading the way. Although their funding is limited, the cast & crew are made up of volunteers, and most of these men and women are "normal" folks, the end results have been amazing. All of the movies have a special place in my heart. The entire family enjoys sitting down together and watching the productions. And my prayer is that Sherwood Baptist will continue to fuel the creativity of its members.

While there is still quite some time before the movie is officially released, plan on taking the family to the theater. The great the box office revenues, the greater the likelihood that future movies will make it to your local venues. The Kendrick brothers have done an amazing job in being able to speak directly to the hearts of people. The action scenes in Courageous are intense, the jokes are hilarious, and the emotions are captivating. I was glued to the screen from the outset of the movie. These men and women have done a wonderful job and I pray the Lord continues to use them for His glory.

As we get closer to the release dates, I will try to locate all the venues around the PBC Voice area and post them to the blog. I love seeing God's people being successful in business and ministry. In a culture that has been shaped by media in so many ways, this is a wonderful opportunity to shape the families of America. By God's grace, this movie WILL change lives!!!

May you be blessed.
