Courageous: family breakfast and movie

We had an excellent morning at St John's Seven Kings enjoying a cooked breakfast and watching the movie Courageous. 

Filled with action, police drama Courageous is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking ministry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia.

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.

When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a new found urgency help these dads draw closer to God … and to their children? 

These are everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children.

Sherwood Pictures has produced four films: Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous. They have been some of the most successful faith-based movies in history. In a partnership with Sony Pictures and Provident Films, the films have been distributed globally and are available in multiple languages. The two most recent, Fireproof and Courageous, opened in the top five in U.S. theaters.

Sherwood Pictures pioneered a unique model, even for Christian filmmakers. The mostly volunteer cast and crew have been one of the great story lines of Sherwood Pictures: “Our people have gone the second mile and beyond with these movies. There is no way we could have done this without hundreds of volunteers who did everything from acting, to bringing food and babysitting. They have been tireless workers because they believed in the vision ... Sherwood Pictures is not the story of individuals, but of a church body operating in unity ..."
