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!

Grace, Not Perfection

I once read somewhere that: Grace is not expecting immediate perfection, but allowing progression. Take a second to think about that. Think about how you treat your husband. Your children. Your friends. Yourself. In this thing called life, I think “perfection” is something we all want to obtain, to some degree. Pick an area of…

With Another Year Ahead Of Us…

I’ll admit, I love and appreciate the hymns of old. Those that when the organ plays the first few chords, you know exactly what song it is. When I was thinking about the end of the year, of course there are so many thoughts that come to mind. And the old hymn, “Another Year is…

When You Struggle To Pray

Do you ever struggle with what to pray for? Do you ever sit down and think “I should pray…” but then have 1,000 other things running through your mind? Do you ever wonder how the monks do it? Maybe beside that point, you wonder what it would be like to live in that much solitude?…

Here’s To Another Year

A month ago, this maybe isn’t how I anticipated celebrating my 34th birthday, but this doesn’t surprise God. I remember thinking before my first surgery, that by my birthday, I wouldn’t necessarily be back to normal, but I would be far on the mend. I would be a week past my post-op appointment and hopefully…

A ThankFULL Life

ThankFULLness. Do you feel “full” of thanks? Are you filled with contentment? Does the life you live, reflect a life of thankfulness? If you were to ask someone if they thought you were thankFULL, what would be their answer? Or… Are you constantly desiring more? Do you buy to try to satisfy this inner desire…
