Southern Gospel trailer

Samuel Allen, a 1960's rockstar, finds himself in jail after struggling with years of anger and blame toward organized religion that has led him down a road of rebellion. In a moment of divine intervention, the judge dismisses drug charges against him under the pretense that Samuel speaks to local schools and churches about the dangers of drugs. Given a second chance, he follows in his father's footsteps to become a preacher, overcoming the influence of a powerful church leader with a personal vendetta against his family.

SOUTHERN GOSPEL is the story of a man overcoming brokenness and never surrendering the dream on his journey to find the gospel ... Southern Gospel.

 
 
"Southern Gospel" will be in theaters on March 10th.
Content Note: While this is a faith-based, redemptive film, it is rated PG-13 for mature thematic content, drug use, some violent content, suicide, and language.

A Thousand Tomorrows - Episode 2

 

From best-selling author Karen Kingsbury, only God knows how many tomorrows we have left. In the dangerous and competitive rodeo world, how will Cody and Ali make the most of their time together?

The latest AFFIRM Originals show, “Karen Kingsbury’s A Thousand Tomorrows,”
is a testament to love, devotion and making the most of every day. This 6 episode series focuses on Cody and Ali who find a rare, powerful love with an uncertain future. Main themes are redemption, forgiveness, devotion and transformation.
 

Watch the trailer and set a reminder to see the first two episodes
on Pure Flix, beginning Feb. 24th. LINK

 
 

MY REVIEW: As Ali’s health declines, her determination to keep
competing catches Cody’s eye. What will her stubbornness to pursue her dreams cost? When she discovers she needs a pulmonary transplant, her life as a competitive barrel racer is likely over.

Cody (Colin Ford) is falling more in love with Ali (Rose Reid), but is also facing personal struggles when his famous, but absent, father wants to to reconnect with his family. Cody is opposed, but his special needs brother, Carl Joseph (Cole Sibus) is excited. Cody rebonds with Carl Joseph and is preparing to protect his mom and brother, expecting his father to bail on the family once again.



Karen Kingsbury is well known for her books that draw the reader into the lives and feelings of her characters. No doubt that this series will have the same impact on viewers. With 2 episodes releasing on Feb 24th and a new episode for the next 4 Fridays, you will want to make sure you have a Pure Flix subscription.

Katie Lapp, a young Amish girl, discovers her parents have been keeping a secret from her... she is adopted. Katie decides to seek her birth mother, defying the rules of her Amish village and risking a shunning.


Meanwhile, her wealthy birth mother, Laura Mayfield, battling an illness that might take her life, begins searching for her long-lost daughter to bequeath her inheritance before it is too late. Secretly plotting against her is the gold-digging husband Dylan (John Schneider), who is scheming to make sure he inherits her fortune. With the help and prayers of her Christian maidservant (Chonda Pierce), they try to foil Dylan’s plan and reunite Katie and Laura.

 

 


The Confessional Musical
will be in theaters for One Night Only, FEBRUARY 20, 2023! This production is a Fathom Event so click on the LINK to find the nearest THEATERS and to BUY TICKETS!

The play is a mixture of a dramatic story of secrets and separations that touch the heart and the music and merriment give the play an entertainment value to delight audiences. However, with a running time of 3 hours, I wouldn't advise bringing children. There is an intermission, but it's just long enough to stretch your legs, have a restroom break and maybe refill snacks. This is better suited for grown-ups, maybe even a Girl's Night Out event.


Giveaway: $10 Amazon gift card. Enter no later than 2/23/2023 using

Heaven Sent

 It's February, love is in the air, and PureFlix has released a new rom-com that will warm your heart and make you laugh. “Heaven Sent” is a romantic comedy about finding love again later in life and rediscovering joy after loss. Themes include letting go of our children/grandchildren, choosing family over fame, finding love after loss, miscommunication, giving grace during misunderstandings.

Starring Karen Abercrombie as Elise, a once famous singer who left that world behind to raise her grandson,
Derek (Jemarcus Kilgore)
, and Patrick (Leon Pridgen), as a widowed pastor. Both have closed the door on love, but with faith and a little help from friends (Charlene Tilton and Michael J. Patterson), will love blossom? When Derek decides it will help himself to gain independence he is sure the perfect solution for everyone is to secretly live-stream Grandma's new romance. What could go wrong?

 

MY REVIEW: Heaven Sent is a perfect "date night" or movie night with friends film to watch and simply enjoy. There is an underlying message about letting go of the past, but also a reminder that the important memories and people often fit in well during current and future chapters of life.

While there is some drama, it's mostly a fun movie to sit back with your popcorn, relax, and laugh at the antics.
I will be watching this movie again! 🍿πŸ₯€πŸŽ¬πŸ’ž

GIVEAWAY: Win a 3-month subscription to Pure Flix! Enter by Valentine's Day (2/14/23) by using #HeavenSentMIN.
