While COURAGEOUS has moved into post-production with film’s editing and musical score taking center stage, reports from the set continue to tell the story of the movie and the people behind it, including the great piece that ran in USA Today last week.
In a series of blog posts, our friends at BreakPoint, Charles Colson’s ministry that is part of Prison Fellowship, talked about their time on the set of Courageous. Here are some excerpts from Billy Atwell’s posts (which you can read here, here, and here).
“Could a true fatherhood initiative and a revamping of the culture’s mindset with regard to the vital role of the father, come at a better time? No.
“Chuck Colson often reminds his audiences that the prisons are filled with fatherless individuals who are desperately in need of love. Not surprisingly, our juvenile prisoners are just as lacking in active fathers as adult prisoners.
“The prisons have long served as a microcosm to view our culture’s systemic lackings. When families are broken and desperate, you can expect crime to increase and prisons to fill. Why? Well, sin, but this sin proliferates more abundantly when young men—the highest demographic in prisons–are often given little-to-no positive male leadership. Who is the best to provide such leadership? The Father up above, and the father in the home.
“Pastor Michael Catt clearly understands the central role prayer and discipleship building must play in an effort like this. If Sherwood Baptist Church continues to work on building up their local community and the Church at large with these tools, then they will likely serve as a guiding example for an entire movement of Christian leaders and fathers as well.”
God has worked wonders to minister his word through the people associated with Sherwood Pictures. I have promoted and preach the blessings recieved from Gods word in his movies. You sits back and gain a scense of completion within your spirt when you watch and hear God breathe taking words. Our Fathers words of strength, encouragement, hope, unity, love and enrichment is a gift we all look for and have through Christ our Father.
Lord please continue to use and lead your vessels in your vision. May their faithful hearts be blessed and needs be fullfilled in Jesus name Amen…

Please just don’t release a bunch of books on “stepfamilies” for this movie like with Fireproof…which undermined the whole premise of the film. REAL men of Honor are in the HOME they belong… with their OWN children and their OWN wives. They HONOR God and their marriage covenant. Please don’t blasphemously promote something that Jesus clearly calls adultery in this film as well. Luke 16:18, Rom 7:2-3
