Facing the Giants


Facing the Giants was directed by Alex Kendrick, and written by Stephen and Alex Kendrick. This is such an awesome movie; it definitely has that “feel good” mentality about it. It starts off like the typical football story showing a struggling team that just isn’t going to make the cut playing football, but it has a better element to it. Most of the “feel good” football or any sport related movie for that matter never gives God credit. It shows that with hard work and responsibility you can succeed and do well, and that’s true but add God to the equation and it makes it that much more powerful! The fist few times I watched this movie I couldn’t get past the not so top of the notch acting abilities and didn’t really get the message. This time around I got the chance to look past the little things and be able to enjoy such a great movie. I’m glad that they made it big and were able to make a real Hollywood movie, most little Christian films don’t. It just goes to show that God will never let you down. At times it may seem like giving up is the easiest way to go, but if you turn to God and give him those fears and doubts he can take them all away from you. “What is impossible with God?”
