    Alex Kendrick is living proof that God can use obedient people to accomplish the seemingly impossible. How can he and the pastors of a small Georgia church produce, direct and market one movie-much less four theatrical released films- that keep impacting the lives of millions of people.
    In this I am Second film Alex details the incredible story of how God worked to create and distribute the movies. He also reveals how God was convicting him in many of the same areas as the movie topics. His dilemma-if he could be obedient in making movies for God, could he also be obedient in making changes in his life, too?

    It’s so funny listening to this 11 years later. You had those three, Flywheel, Fireproof, and Courageous. Then you had War Room, Overcomer, and just released in the last few weeks… Lifemark. Not to mention the INCREDIBLE documentary, “Show me the father” 🥳🥳🥳

      You mean Flywheel, Facing The Giants, and Fireproof. Cause at the tim courageous had not been released yet as of the release of this video.

      Vitalina Argirova - The War Room comes out Aug. 28th. Check out the previews, they're on here. It looks like another amazing film with another amazing message from God -- on prayer. God bless you and yours!

      I’m so thankful for all the Movies you’ve made for the Glory of God!
      I’ve got a lot of the first movies you made. Facing the Giant’s is my favorite! I have watched it every time I know it’s going to be on.
      With the Lord on your side I know he’s going to give you more stories to make into a God Given testimony for all the world to see!
      Continue working for the Lord because the Lives that will be saved will be many! In Christ’s Love, your Sister In Christ, Kathy

    Many Christian films are either preachy, corny, or thin. But the Kendricks Brothers continue to produce increasingly quality films that are relatable, gripping, and uplifting; not to mention faith building and scripturally sound. l've seen each of their films multiple times, promoting them to friends. And I look forward to every new project they produce.

    I just watched the movie courageous. I cried like a baby. It was so well done and so true. My oldest daughter and her fiance also watched it and cried. Sure wish I never had to raise my two children without a dad, it hurt us all greatly. Thank you Alex for your courage.

  • @MsDJMM7
    @MsDJMM7 11 років тому +1

    I am so grateful to God that Courageous was made! My dad made it a family night out to go see it, and it really uplifted him. He had at that time just lost his mother to cancer months earlier and then just days before we went to see the film, lost his job. It was a moment in his life where he needed God the most and a reminder that God was with him, and to be courageous. Thank-you, Alex.

  • @ItchyGoomie

    did you know that no one (including Kirk Cameron) get paid to be in the movies? They are all volunteering to get the message of Jesus out into the world through these movies. The annointing is definitely on the Kendrick brothers. Praise the Lord for their obedience.

    Wow. 8 years and two years days later and this testimony is STILL as powerful.. I've watched a few of Alex Kendrick's interviews but this one has to be the best. I kinda got to see a very vulnerable side of him. What God is teaching me now is that no matter how "strong of a Christian" u are or portray urself to be, whether in front of the camera, behind the camera, or no camera at all, we ALL have issues that we're dealing with within ourselves. We ALL face our own "giants" (pun intended 😎). BUT with God, we are able to work through them and receive healing, deliverance and breakthrough. It's so crazy that God allowed Alex to write and produce these films, not after, but WHILE he was going through the same problems that these actors were playing out in his films. CRAZY how God works. He humbles us by revealing ourselves to ourselves. I'm so proud of Alex and Stephen Kendricks. I hope to one day meet them and be in one of their movies if God allows it.

    Alex & Steven, I just want to tell you that all your movies are great, BUT NOT ONE HAS TOUCHED AND CHANGED MY LIFE THE WAY WAR ROOM HAS DONE!!!
    It's been more than 2 months since I've seen War Room for the first time and it is still changing my life! My prayer life has changed and maybe for the first time in 41 years of my life, I'm truly praying and spending time with God the way He intended me to do!
    I honestly believe that you don't have any idea of the impact you are having on the world with your ministry! This is SO MUCH bigger than you can even start to imagine!
    Please don't ever stop! If you can, make a squeal to War Room...

    Alex please update your story from this film. The movies were great but to hear the story of Gods work in you behind the scenes was astounding and confirming in my own walk of faith. You have made several more films since courageous and I would love to hear God’s backstory of how those movies played out in your personal walk. Thank you for your transparency and humility. You have kept it real. To God be glory!

I'm proud of what God has done in Alex's life. I hope see him and the Sherwood Pictures team continue to make more movies. Great Video."

    @teresaferguson6292 9 років тому +9

    My family has enjoyed all of your movies. I believe if you guys cold produce a movie based on John Bevere's book, Rescued, it could radically change our churches across this nation. More often than not, Christians sit around being passive instead of standing strong and being proactive on issues such as abortion and homosexuality. They "go to church" instead of BEING the Church where Christ is the Head. This story will certainly make you think. And Mr. Kendrick, if your facing these "giants" in your marriage and in your life, then Your Father must be doing something huge in you. I experienced losing the use of my arm and my baby going through open-heart surgery, and both have become the pivotal points of my Christian walk. Be strong and courageous because He is with you (Joshua 1:9). Thank you for sharing your movies with the world.

I would love to see a film about finances in college, marriage, and retirement stages in life. I started to write a script, but would love to see a film from you guys about this.

    All around us. The ones who go through heart breaking agony, pain, loss, despair and lack of hope, with only faith to strengthen them, to silently fulfil their duties (pumping gas, serving food, running companies, policing, healing .. and more) so that we can live our lives.
    And us, when we do the same.

    Thank you for sharing your story. I somewhat can relate to your story. I don't make movies. I love to write though. But it took me a while to realize God is teaching me things about myself and others in whatever situation I am, and I seemed to a lot in my life fight it, when I should not fight it, but embrace and be peaceful, grab on to His Grace and Strength and learn and grow and Trust in Him. It is not easy. But everything God does is good. Something good will come out of it with God leading our way. Our path to hoilness, saints. Have Mercy on me Jesus.

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm one of Alex Kendrick's biggest critics. I'm the type that makes fun of his movies for being too cheesy, preachy and poorly acted (though, the acting has somewhat improved over the past few movies). After seeing this video, I hope that God changes my heart towards this ministry. I appreciate Alex and his willingness to honor Jesus Christ with his work and his honesty to tell us his story. Thanks. You have my prayers.
