Last week I ran across this video and it inspired so much, I went out to buy the movie. Facing my own giants lately, I felt a connection with this type of “feel good” and inspirational movie. Facing the Giants is just such a movie.

This scene motivated me to realize that sometimes you just gotta keep on going, despite how bad it hurts. And somehow, you end up amazed at what you can really accomplish.

At first, I was distracted by the less than stellar acting but the message was so good that I seemed to get used to it after a while. I had never heard of this movie before I saw the above clip.

To my amazement, I found that every person in the movie went to Sherwood Baptist Church, and weren’t even actors. I just figured it was a low-budget movie, but found that it was made on a shoestring budget in Athens, GA.

It was created for the simple reason to get the message out and a good message it has. It’s definitely a Christian movie, which will turn some people off. That’s their choice. It will also turn off some people because it’s too “cheesy” and “unrealistic.” That’s also their choice.

But guess what? It will inspire some people like it did me and that’s why I choose to share it.

What really resonated with me was the way the lead character had his life literally falling apart around him and when he finally found his faith everything seemed to start to turn around. An inspiration, indeed.

Maybe I found it to be so inspiring simply because I have been at such a crossroads in my own life. Whatever the reason, I feel better off for watching it and hope my sharing it inspires someone else who may need it as well!

I found it in a local Christian bookstore but I paid a lot more than if you purchase it through the above link from Amazon. It’s less than half of what I paid. I think it was well worth the amount I paid!

Another bonus is the soundtrack It’s awesome!
