Recently I had the opportunity to watch, When We Last Spoke the award-winning, heartwarming story of faith, family, and forgiveness, based on a book by Marci Henna. Talk about a wonderful family movie!
Set in small town Fireside, Texas, the young sisters Juliet and Evangeline say good-bye to their father, James as he heads off to the Vietnam War. While their father is still gone to war, their mother decides that she can’t raise the girls and leaves the girls with their paternal grandparents so that she can pursue a career singing.
The two girls and their loveable grandparents, Walt and Ruby, make their way through life’s trials, ups and downs. With plenty of tugs at the heart strings and laughter throughout, the movie follows the Cranbournes’ journey through life.
When We Last Spoke recently won Best Picture, Best Narrative, Best Supporting Actor, and more at the Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention! Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie), Cloris Leachman, and Corbin Bernsen star in this great family movie.
Our Thoughts
My family really enjoyed watching When We Last Spoke. It was definitely a great family movie focusing on faith, family and forgiveness. It’s always so nice to be able to enjoy a family friendly movie, especially when the movie shows that life isn’t always sunshine and roses and not everything goes the way we hope it will; but even when life is hard, there can still be beauty in it.
I hope you and your family will take the time to enjoy When We Last Spoke on Amazon Prime or visit the movie website to find all the ways to view this powerful movie.

My Thoughts
I am so excited that we’ve gotten the opportunity to enjoy some family movie nights in such a way that they are faith building. The hardest part for us has been carving out the time to have family movie nights. Summer is always such a busy time around here! However, we’ve found it’s important to have some down time and enjoy each other. Pure Flix Family Camp is a great way for us to be able to do that and all the hard work of planning the guide has been done by Pure Flix.
Week One movie for Family Camp is Switched. What a great lesson on having compassion for others and realizing that not everything is as it seems. Cassandra Evans has had enough of being bullied by the beautiful Katie Sharp and recurved the surprise of her life when her prayer was answered. What was her prayer? She prayed that Katie would have to walk a while in her shoes. Both girls gained a new appreciation for not only one another but life as they experienced life in someone else’s shoes.
The devotional and discussion questions were right on track. What a great way to start off our Family Camp! In addition the the family movie, their are recommendations for other movies for adults, teens and kids each week. Summer isn’t the time we watch many movies but when the weather gets cold and the days short we will have a great list of movies to watch.

It’s been a while since Scott and I have taken the time (or even thought about having time) to watch a movie but we are both so excited to tell you about the movie CHURCH PEOPLE!
CHURCH PEOPLE features mega church youth pastor, Guy Sides, who has grown tired and frustrated with the turn his ministry has taken. After cutting short his speaking tour, he returns home to find that the lead pastor, Skip, has taken the entertainment factor of the Sand Hills Community church to an entirely different level.
Guy must now to try to reign in the over zealous lead pastor and the young new believer, Blaise, from what could be a potentially harmful or even deadly Good Friday Service. Guy continually asks the question, “Is the gospel enough?”. Be ready to enjoy some light-hearted humor that really does beg the question is the gospel enough.
There is even a five session Discussion Guide which is based on the movie. Each session includes a clip from the feature film CHURCH PEOPLE, a short devotional, Scripture passages, and discussion questions that will give you the opportunity to reflect on what the Gospel looks like in your own life.
Have you ever wondered if we’ve gone too far in our gimics to make church more fun or exciting? CHURCH PEOPLE is a funny, yet gets to the point film that helps remind us that all we really need is to preach the gospel. Comedy can certainly be the best way to help us see life in a different light. I mean, laughter really is such good medicine, and sometimes it’s just the medicine we need.
I hope you and your family will take the opportunity to enjoy a great Christian comedy this weekend as CHURCH PEOPLE releases!

Before the Wrath is MUST SEE movie for the entire family! In fact, it’s the #1 rated Christian movie in America!
Narrated by Kevin Sorbo and featuring:
Jack Hibbs – Theologist and host of “Real Life” on SiriusXM
Amir Tsarfati – Founder and President of Behold Israel
Jan Markell – Founder of Olive Tree Ministries
JD Farag – Theologist and Eschatologist
Scott McConnell – Exec. Director of Lifeway Research
Jay McCarl – Ancient Middle Eastern Anthropologist
Lizette Dillinger – Qualitative Director of LifeWay Research
Have you ever wondered what Bible prophecy has to do with our lives today? Maybe you haven’t even thought much about it. We watched Before the Wrath as a family and let me tell you, we’ve had some great conversations since watching it. The kids interest was certainly piqued and many questions have been asked.
I had no idea that a Galilean wedding so mirrored the prophecy of Christ’s return. Watching Before the Wrath, truly brought my understanding of the prophecy of Christ’s return to a whole new level.
I was astonished though to learn that many people don’t actually believe in a rapture or Christ’s return. What if you could know for certain that the events prophesied actually will happen? What would you do differently in life? I feel so strongly that one of my most important jobs as a mom is to make sure that my children are brought up in the admonition of the Lord. I am certainly thankful when I can find a resource that helps us to do just that.
I found the gmovie absolutely fascinating and encourage everyone to watch it. Gather your loved ones together and watch Before the Wrath for yourselves.
