To celebrate Father Dads' day, we watched another film by the genius Kenya Cagle, the auteur behind the extremely watchable faith-based films THE BOY WHO SAW CHRIST and MY KING. We've noticed that all of Mr. Cagle's films have in common that they are not afraid to show edgy adult themes in the context of presenting a faith-based message. FATHER DAD is no exception — it's the first Christian film w...

Since the beginning of recorded history, it has never been possible for people with opposing viewpoints to agree on anything — until now. Los Angeles-based media company Jubilee Media describes their extremely popular MIDDLE GROUND YouTube series as a "social experiment" bringing together individuals with opposing identities or viewpoints for some civilized discussion (for a change.) Some of these...

This Christian thriller shows how even a situation as scary and inconvenient as a bus hijacking can become a one-way ticket to salvation. Izzy is a privileged yet rebellious goth teen with a streak of dye in her hair, much to the disappointment of her Christian parents, who accidentally reveal to Izzy that she is adopted during a heated family discussion. Izzy's life suddenly becomes a quest to fi...

A short documentary that arguably changed the media landscape forever, KONY 2012 became a viral international sensation due in part to its evangelical tone, inspiring everyday people to gain a quasi-religious awareness of the "original sin" of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony who could be defeated through the power of collective consciousness.   It's no surprise that the mastermind behind the KONY 2012...

When Christian teen David Gutierrez arrives at his new high school, he is immediately mortified by being the only kid who says "Under God" during the pledge. He is ruthlessly mocked by the school bully and called into the headmaster's (Casper Van Dien) office to be reprimanded for breaking the school's "religious tolerance" rules, which of course mean that all religions are tolerated except for Ch...

A Christian millennial melodrama that is equal parts snarky and depressing, THIS IS OUR TIME is a love letter from director Lisa Arnold to the dreamers who graduated college in 2012 with wide eyes and a twitter account and tried to make a name for themselves. Five friends each leave college with greatly different career prospects; Ethan feels shame about being stuck in a sandwich shop while his hi...

What would you do if Christ hugged you in the church bathroom? Eight-year-old Kenneth immediately tells his parents, expecting them to be delighted, only to see them freak out and interrupt the entire church service to try to investigate who exactly is the man who hugged their son in the bathroom.

If God doesn't exist, then how can you tell a good movie from a bad one? We ask ourselves this while attempting to review EYES FRONT, an extremely stylized feature from prolific music video director turned Christian film auteur Darren Doane.

For a wholesome Valentine's Day message, we turn to the Christian denomination most versed in the art of love: the Jehovah's Witnesses. We love any opportunity to repeat our hot take that the Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) are the best filmmakers in all of Christianity; their productions are high quality, their actors are poised, and their branding and aesthetics are impeccable. We've learned through t...
