My husband and I recently watched an inspiring Christian movie, which was about real life issues that we all face from time to time. The story is about a small town high school football coach, whose life is falling apart before his very eyes. His job is on the line because of several losing seasons in a row. His house is falling apart, he can’t pay his bills, and he and his wife are unable to have the children they want so much. He’s made fun of because of his Christian values. He tries everything to fix it, but to no avail. Nothing is working.

He finally decides to give the glory to God, win or lose, and leave the outcome to Him, no matter what happens. Without any effort on his part, his life and his team began to turn around in a dramatic way. Based upon several real ife examples the producer put together, this isn’t your usual overly syrupy movie. It is an intense and realistic look at the real life problems we face as Christians.

Sometimes we have the idea that once we become God’s children everything is going to be clear sailing. We’re disappointed to find out that just the opposite is often true. Christ Himself said, “In this world you will know trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.” This movie will give you hope that Christ is indeed in charge. I highly recommend it as an excellent family movie all Christians should watch. “Facing the Giants” is available is most video stores.
