The Film That Shaped My World

I would not necessarily say this film rocked my world, but it has influenced me in a way. The name of it is Facing the Giants, a small independent film in 2006. It was created by a church in Georgia. It's about a high school football coach who coaches a Christian school football team who always loses. The guy can never catch a break it would seem: he drives a beat down car, his team can never win a game, and his marriage is strong but not good at times. About to give up after several parents want him fired for not winning a game, a local minister who prays over the lockers in the school every day, talks to the coach about not losing faith and to keep pushing forward. After listening to this, he instills that philosophy to his team, who turns around and eventually wins the state title. Now this film taught me that despite the odds in life, never give up. God always has my back no matter what, and I shoukl continue pushing forward. I'm really glad this movie came along.
