Courageous DVD & Giveaway

In just a few days, I will have the honor of interviewing Alex Kendrick, who with his brother Stephen, wrote the screenplay for Courageous — a movie challenging men to rise up as fathers and husbands, but doesn’t shy away from sending a powerful message for moms and wives to answer the courageous call.

COURAGEOUS is the rare movie

that hooks audiences in a deep place and

stirs their hunger to know more.

I’m looking forward to hearing Alex’s take on the creation of the film and impact on our culture, as I ask him key questions I believe are on the heart of this generation of teen through twenty something gals and their moms and mentors. Of course, I would love for you to share in a comment below any question you’d like me to ask Alex!  I can’t promise I’ll get it in, but I’d love to hear your thoughts!

More About Courageous

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?
