Was watching "Facing the Giants" for the umpteenth time.
From the award winning producers of "Flywheel," comes an action-packed drama about a Christian high school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure. In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage. What transpires is a dynamic story of the fight between faith and fear.
The movie never fails to touch my heart ever so much.. it never fails to convict my heart.
It always reminds me to depend on God EVERY single time.. and that i HAVE to get things right with God, set things right.
No matter the ups and downs in our lives.. no matter how difficult is the walk..
ALWAYS and i mean ALWAYS trust in Him.
No matter how and circumstances are or how well they are going,
ALWAYS praise Him and be thankful.
My favourite quote of the movie:
Coach Taylor: “[In order for God to do great things with this team,] we need to give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him; and if we lose we praise Him. Either way. We honor Him with our actions and our attitudes.
I've read so many reviews on the movie, and people were condemning the acting and the plot.
and most of the comments coming from Christians.
Its rather sad that they miss the whole essence of the movie.
It not about the "story", neither the acting.
It's ALL about God.
His faithfulness, HIs love.
God will bless those people who walk in His ways and place their trust in him 100%!
Like part of the quote highlighted, we need to give God our very best in every area.
Ministry, work, school, relationships.. EVERYTHING!
*thumbs up for an inspiring movie.*
