"He Calls Me Daughter" is Coming to Angel

He Calls Me Daughter is a deeply personal and emotionally powerful film that explores what it means to carry a father wound and what it takes to heal from it.

Watch He Calls Me Daughter now on Angel and experience stories of healing, identity, and restoration in the lives of several women.

Through raw storytelling and spiritual insight, the film reveals how unmet needs from an earthly father can shape identity, relationships, and self-worth. But it also offers a path forward. One rooted in the love of a Heavenly Father who restores, redeems, and redefines what it means to be a daughter.

Directed by Rick Altizer (Show Me the Father, Chonda Pierce: Laughing in the Dark), this film features Chonda Pierce, Meg Meeker, Alex Kendrick, BJ Arnett, and more. Written by Alitzer and Tracy Robinson.

If your relationship, or lack of one, with your father has damaged you in any way, this is a film that will have a story you feel connected to and allow you to start healing. A "father wound" with your earthly father can also make an impact with your relationship with your Heavenly Father. Ranging from resentment or distrust to feeling you will never be good enough to please Him, you may recognize a pattern. 

As each woman shares her story, honesty and hope shine through the darkness as a beacon leading you a better place. It's not a preachy film, but is faith-inspired. Don't think of this as only a film for females, though. Men are often pushed aside in their children's lives except for their role as physical provider. They need to know how important they are physically, emotionally, and spiritually. "Daddy" is a vital role in the life of a daughter (or son).

He Calls Me Daughter is the kind of film that resonates deeply but is often overlooked by traditional platforms. Angel provides a home for stories that go beyond entertainment and into transformation when stories like this are seen, shared, and experienced by the people who need them most.

Be sure to watch He Calls Me Daughter on Angel to experience a story of healing, identity, and restoration.

He Calls Me Daughter

HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER is for women who have felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure of their worth. Through intimate, first-person stories, viewers follow women as they begin to name the pain they’ve carried for years: father wound.

From the award-winning director of the Kendrick Brothers’ documentary Show Me the Father, He Calls Me Daughter is a poignant exploration of father-daughter relationships and the lasting impact they have on a woman’s life. Through honest stories and thoughtful insight, the film examines the deep “father wound” many women carry. He Calls Me Daughter reveals how faith in Jesus Christ brings healing, transforms lives and restores identity. A Heavenly Father changes everything!

Audiences are invited to reflect on their own story as they walk alongside these women on a journey toward healing. HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER is an invitation to experience the love of a Father who does not withdraw—One who offers peace, belonging, and restoration.

True healing isn’t found in earthly relationships, but a relationship with our Heavenly Father changes everything. 

HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER hits theaters March 17 & 18 only. Get your tickets now: TICKETS

REVIEW: I have been a fan of Rick Altizer's previous documentaries, and my expectations were fully met with "He Calls Me Daughter." Chonda Pierce (Comedian), BJ Arnett (Actress), Meg Meeker (pediatrician/author), Lynsi Snyder (In N Out President), and other women share their stories of "father wounds" in their lives and the healing journey to God as their father. Each one had a different relationship with their earthly father, but their reactions to the emotional pain also impacted how they reacted to others in their lives. Alex Kendrick also spoke on the importance of how he treats his daughters. 

This is a wonderful film for both men and women, not only for helping women heal from the wounds inflicted by fathers, but also to help men realize how important they are in raising children. I have never known a child who did want love and approval from both parents, but men are too often considered to be less important. 

He Calls Me Daughter is only scheduled to be in theaters March 17th and March 18th, so be sure you reserve your seats now!

LIFEMARK

 

David Colton’s comfortable world is turned upside down when his birth mother
unexpectedly reaches out to him, longing to meet the 18-year-old son she’s only held once. With the encouragement of his adoptive parents, David embarks on a
journey of discovery that leads to a staggering truth from his past. From executive producers Kirk Cameron and the Kendrick Brothers comes LIFEMARK, inspired by an incredible true story that celebrates the gift of life.

 

 LIFEMARK is now in theaters! Buy your tickets TODAY to see LIFEMARK at https://tickets.lifemarkmovie.com!

My Review: LIFEMARK, based on a true story, piqued my interest but I did not expect to love the film as much as I do. The message is pro-life and family-focused with adoption at the heart of the story. LIFEMARK is a story of hope, of overcoming the obstacles life throws at us, reveling in the art of faith, grace, and perseverance.

David Colton (Raphael Ruggerio) was adopted as a newborn by Jimmy (Kirk Cameron) and Susan (Rebecca Rogers). Soon after his 18th birthday, David's birth mother Melissa (Dawn Long) reached out to see if he was open to contact. The film tells the story of his reunion with Melissa and birth father Brian (Lowery Brown), their supportive spouses (Alex Kendrick, Stephanie Parker), and unexpected siblings.

I highly recommend the film! The story is life-affirming without neglecting that there can be obstacles and heartbreak in some choices made. It has moments that can bring tears, but the Kendrick's trademark humor is a highlight for me. A simple scene between Kirk Cameron and Alex Kendrick had me hysterically laughing but the comic relief star was Justin Sterner as David's best friend, Nate. Nate is the official videographer of David's journey to meet his birth family... and he doesn't want to miss a thing.

Do not miss LIFEMARK! I also recommend you watch the actual documentary, I LIVED ON PARKER AVENUE on YouTube. You will recognize the real Melissa as the nurse in the scene when 18-year-old Melissa relinquishes her baby to go to his new parents.

Courageous Legacy

Ten years ago, COURAGEOUS opened in theaters across the world. With the Kendrick Brothers trademark combo of both tears and laughter, combined with action, a strong message, and inspiration, the film made a impact on millions about the importance of a father.

Courageous is the story of four law enforcement officers (Alex Kendrick, Kevin Downes, Ken Bevel, Ben Davies) who face danger daily and who have developed a bond of friendship outside of work, along with their new friend Javier (Robert Amaya). When tragedy strikes, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their families, and their faith. From this struggle will come a decision that changes all of their lives.

On September 24th, the remastered, special-edition is coming to theaters as COURAGEOUS LEGACY. This updated version of the film includes an enhanced
look and sound along with impact stories, new scenes, and a new bonus ending you don’t want to miss!

If you are thinking, "I saw it the first time," or even, "I recently watched the original online," you may wonder if it's worth going to see COURAGEOUS LEGACY in theaters. YES!! More than ever we need a reminder of God's promise in Malachi 4:6 to "turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers." Our world has changed drastically during the last decade and this film should have an even greater impact. The additions, especially the updated ending, are exactly what the film needed.

Show Me the Father

 

The first documentary by the Kendrick Brothers, SHOW ME THE FATHER, is a compelling and heartfelt peek into the stories and private lives of some well-known men, including Dr. Tony Evans, Jim Daly (Focus on the Family), Deland McCullough, Sherman Smith, Stephen Kendrick, and Alex Kendrick. These men share insights into their relationships with their own fathers, what it means to be a father, and, ultimately, the importance of God the Father in all aspects of life. Take a look at the trailer below:

Show Me the Father opens in theaters on September 10th and is definitely worth seeing, especially as a family. I was able to view the film early and was highly impressed with the film's content and production. I wasn't familiar with all of the men interviewed, but each had something vital to share. Each unique father story invites you to examine how you view your earthly father and how this affects your relationship with God. The documentary brings both familiar and new perspectives about how the relationship (or lack of) with your father makes a tremendous impact on your relationship with your dad, your children, others... and with God.

The movie definitely is not just for men. A girl's relationship with her daddy has an impact, too. Many women have said that their initial view of God has much in common with their view of their father. After viewing the film, this may open much-needed conversations. Gather your family, men's groups, marriage classes and make this an event to remember! You can get tickets at showmethefathermovie.com

GIVEAWAY!! I'm giving away 2 tickets to the movie, via Fandango, for opening weekend, Sept 10-12, 2021. The winner will be notified via email. Prize must be claimed within 24 hours. Enter using #showmethefather in comments. Deadline is Sept. 6, 2021.

SHOW ME THE FATHER is the first documentary from the Kendrick Brothers (Overcomer, War Room, Fireproof). It features powerful true stories featuring well-known men of God like Dr. Tony Evans, Jim Daly (Focus on the Family), Sherman Smith, Stephen Kendrick, and Alex Kendrick.

Each of us has our own unique father story, and it's a relationship (or lack of) that makes a tremendous impact on our lives. The men in this film bring a new perspective and invites you to examine how you view your earthly father and how this affects your relationship with God.

Defined - Stephen and Alex Kendrick

Inspired by the Kendrick brothers’ new movie OVERCOMER, and written by the best-selling author team behind The Love Dare and The Battle Plan for Prayer. Defined is an exciting new resource, published by B&H Publishers, about discovering your God-given identity and embracing the wonder of who you were created to be.

Defined is a simple yet deep book that guides the reader on the path to discover their identity in Christ. I love the short chapters that give a solid truth that is easy to grasp, but that also share other Scripture the reader can turn to for a further understanding of what the authors are saying. There is also a short prayer at the end of each chapter that you can personalize for yourself. Divided into 5 parts, this makes it even easier to help each person "overcome" the doubts and fears that have built up within the individual. There are also group discussion questions at the end of the book so this book can easily be used in a small group setting.

I enjoy the Kendrick Brothers movies and find them a source of encouragement, especially for believers who are facing trials and temptations. This book is a fabulous resource for those who have seen Overcomer. Seeing the film first is not necessary. It is inspired by the movie, but not about the movie. However, like the characters in the film, we sometimes get so caught up in our lives, especially the failures, that we forget about who we are in Christ. The Scriptures, stories, and wisdom in this book are sure to make an impact. I highly recommend it.

Mom's Night Out

All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and conversation . . . a long-needed moms' night out. But in order to enjoy high heels, adult conversation and food not served in a paper bag, they need their husbands to watch the kids for three hours... what could go wrong?

Stars: Sarah Drew, Sean Astin, Patricia Heaton, Trace Adkins, Dave Hunt, Andrea Logan White, Robert Amaya, Abbie Cobb, Harry Shum Jr., Alex Kendrick, Anjelah Johnson, Kevin Downes, Manwell Reves, Sammi Hanratti, Jason Burkey, and Brad Heller.  

Mom's Night Out (Affirm Films, Provident Films) is directed by Jon and Andrew Erwin, written by Jon Erwin and Andrea Gyertson Nasfell, and produced by Kevin Downes, Andrew Erwin, Jon Erwin, Elizabeth Hatcher-Travis, Michael Scott, and David A.R. White. It is distributed by TriStar Pictures.

My Review: Mom's Night Out is one of the most delightful comedies I have seen in years. It was pure joy to sit through a film that was not filled with crude, raunchy, vulgar "humor" or language. I honestly had doubts about even attending; my thoughts were "chick flick" (not a huge fan), the "dad is inept" routine (whose popularity is what led me to quit watching television comedies years ago), and how rare comedy is with faith-based films. I seldom cry or laugh at films, in theaters anyway, but I laughed out loud during much of this film. Best part? I laughed at loud because it genuinely appealed to my sense of humor. Sadly, I have been known to laugh out loud because a film is poorly written or made, but this film is simply funny. 

During the past couple of days, I have read some bad reviews of the film, and I want to address those. The ones I have read have been written by people who apparently attack any film that has Christianity shown in a positive light (and Mom's Night Out is by no stretch of the imagination an evangelical film), stay at home moms (the laments by some of the reviewers about Allyson's lack of employment are a humorous read themselves), and those who actually seem to feel a need for raunchy humor and crude language. I have read a few comments about it being "sexist"; I saw couples I recognize----partners who know that marriage is not 50/50 but 100/100, and that sometimes one needs a bit more support (and it works both ways). Instead of seeing a small slice of life, these reviewers have completely defined people based on one storyline.

I remember having a 'come-apart' a couple of times when a house full of children, especially pre-schoolers, got overwhelming. That is a part of who I am, but not the complete person. Understand what I mean? So, I could completely relate to the film and various characters in it. Some parts edged toward 'screwball comedy', which I happen to love, but sometimes you need to suspend belief for a while. So, take a break, relax, and enjoy!

Loved the film, the writing, the acting...and the location---Birmingham, Alabama!! I highly recommend this film.
