New Movie: God.Family.Football.

August 8, 2023August 8, 2023

I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for sports movies! Always have been. Well, there is a new documentary coming out called God.Family.Football. by Executive Producer, Russell Wilson that you don’t want to miss, that is family-friendly and will have you thinking about where our priorities need to be in life, no matter what we pursue.

God. Family. Football. features the rich, diverse personal stories of Evangel’s players, coaching staff, and the broader Shreveport community, set against the dramatic backdrop of the 2022 Louisiana high school football season. With the perennial high school football powerhouse—14 state championships in the last 20 years—coming off their worst season in school history, redemption is everyone’s goal.

Pastor Denny Duron has returned to the head coaching position to lead this talented group of kids, with dreams of playing in college and the NFL, into prominence on the field, while molding them into future leaders off of it. As the team faces struggle and triumph on and off the field, they are united by coach Duron’s formula for success: “God first, family second, and football third.”

Check out the trailer:

This movie is set to release on September 1, so stay tuned for more information! I can’t wait to check it out!

Who Says?

As a parent, have you ever had your child say, “Mom, MOm, MOOOMMM” and you seriously do not hear them, until they pull out the first name, “KRISTIN!” Yes, honey? Too many times. Not that I’m trying to ignore my daughter or have selective hearing, but what I’ve gathered is that there are so many…

The Power of Sunday

As I stepped out our van today in our church parking lot, I strapped on my mask and walked through the all too familiar doors of our church. It had been 2 months since I last stepped foot into a service, but still masked because I had been in chemo the prior two months. It…

Catching Up

Here’s what has been going on in our life lately… Dan was gone last week to Summit, a conference for Christian educators in Dayton, Tennessee (near Chattanooga). Dan said it was interesting being the only youth pastor and one of the only people from a church (the rest were Christian school teachers or homeschool parents)….

Where Is Your Hope Rooted?

Hope – wanting something to happen. Expecting a certain result. When you think of the word HOPE, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? What do you “hope” to happen? I know I can hope for a good night of sleep. For supper to turn out. I can hope for the weather to be…

Moving Closer and Closer

I feel I have been a little neglectful when it comes to the blog – and as I would say, “shnikees!” It has been an interesting week in very unique ways, but one to truly be thankful for. God has been doing what I would call “crazy” things in our life it seems, but we have only…

NEW Old Testament Handbook!

I don’t know about you, but the Old Testament can leave us wondering, “what does this mean”? How does this tie into the whole story of the Gospel? Having gone to a Bible college, I thought I would have some of this figured out, but sometimes while reading a passage, I find myself asking the…
