I saw it the first weekend, so yes, I'm the target audience. No, it's not really challenging. It doesn't delve into anything deep. It's inspiring to the inspired, and that was its goal. I want to add that the simple and mildly musical worship music fills a void. It's all singable for anyone with vocal chords and functioning ears. Hillsong releases a new song, and every 1st world church on the planet can be singing it the following week. It is what it is. Unfortunately, the gatekeepers aren't interested in anything challenging, pretty much in any genre of any media. Challenging isn't profitable, so who's going to drop a truckload of cash down that hole? Kerry Livgren put together an excellent band with serious potential in the early 80s, and they disbanded after 2 albums because Warren Ham thought feeding his family was kinda important. No, this movie does not tackle any questions. It does inspire. Oh, I HATE K-Love, because it is so intentionally lame. It's comfort music for those who are already too comfortable.

Man, that rant was so dead-on. Entertainment being 'vapid bullsh*t' is something I've been increasingly aware of and disgusted by in the last few years, and it's even more repulsive to see Christians trying to line up with that rather than challenge it (not to say this new film is, just an observation). Every clip you showed of the megachurches and flashy lights, the music, the award shows, the clean and beautiful faces tearing at the emotion they feel from the pretty songs, I felt my anger rising. We don't need a revolution to make all of that foundationless nonsense even more acceptable and enticing to the world. Christianity and so much of what Jesus taught should be offensive to a world that's lost in sin. The world doesn't want a Savior because that means they need saving. Christianity has so separated itself from its Leader who said "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Me', because that's not inclusive and it's offensive, that it's been made to be a religion of being a nice, unoffending person and going to a Sunday service and inviting people to a church that preaches how good you are and makes the cross nothing more than a decoration. I'm sick of it. And frankly, in my most humble opinion, if 'the Jesus revolution' is what's to thank for Christianity being so useless today, I don't think it needs a celebratory movie being made about it. Thank you for your blunt honesty here, Kevin. It's needed!!

If the Church could resemble its Leader, modern Christianity would become unrecognizable and that's what I want.

In the US and some other countries Christianity has become a nightmare. I would argue that a lot of Christian churches have strayed away from what the early Church fathers preached which was living simply, taking care of those who cannot take care of themselves and not being judgmental. Who knows, hey, maybe this movie could be a throwback to what older fashion Christianity was like and how we need to return to it, maybe not. But I hope you do get a chance to see it and maybe review it.

Movies like God's not dead, the first two at least, or what seems to be most of these Erwin movies to an extent, and so on, they almost always seem to rely on cliches and strawmen etc etc etc almost to the point of feeling like propaganda. And I'm not bashing anyone or anything. Just seems like most Christian movies are there to make Christians feel better.

Reviews like these remind me why I enjoy your content so much. You have such a candid take on modern Christianity that I've been able to incorporate into my own faith transformation. "Divorcing" from the vapid, hypocritical modern theology and culture has allowed me to reflect on my complicated relationship with the church and Christianity. I've learned to actually strengthen my faith by being able to look more into things myself instead of just continuing to simply "fall in" with my family's specific beliefs. By opening your heart to love like Jesus and listen to people as they are rather than immediately telling them what to believe, I've been able to talk at length with friends and family with different beliefs and all of us feel comfortable with talking about them. They feel comfortable asking questions or talking about their own different belief systems because I'm not called to change them- I'm called to love. Of course I would want them to believe what I do, but I accept that it may not happen- that's the point of freewill. Your job isn’t to score points by "saving" someone (you can't save anybody), especially by manipulating and pressuring people into beliefs that won't be genuine anyway when done under stress. These movies and the overly pushy Evangelism seem to neglect when people have already heard the Gospel before and expects Christians to continue to talk to non-believers as though they know nothing about the whole doctrine. It is inherently both shallow and deeply condescending. I've never felt the amount of betrayal and judgment I have aside from church members and "Christians" I've been unfortunate to grow up with or encounter. I guess the best thing to be taken from this movement is people finding their people and calling. It isn’t found through pressuring, manipulating, guilt tripping, or anything else, just pure discovery and experience. Letting go of the parts of the church and Christianity that has only hindered and burdened my life in a negative, unhealthy way and finding "my people" has allowed me to live a life of freedom beyond what I ever considered. I seek out Jesus myself instead of feeling pressured or frightened into it, and my faith isn’t limited by a narrow box that others have determined is the ONLY correct way (they aren’t God, who do they think they are?) Jesus criticized the popular harsh religious fanatics more than anyone and sought to spend most of his time loving people. He came to judge sin but also demonstrate his love for his creation by going out of his way to experience life as one of us.

I’m glad you mentioned the dark side to this movement, the 60’s/70’s and how there’s a good chance it’ll be sanitised. I’m Gen Z and when we talk about modern Christianity and where it came from, because a lot of us younger non Christians are still curious and want to educate ourselves, we cannot discuss it without also discussing things like Jonestown, Children of God and Waco to name a few. Obviously cults weren’t the only negative to come from this, but they’re certainly a looming presence and they have a level of infamy all on their own. The 60’s started a lot of big movements that all began with this idea of positive change and new ideas, but for every positive movement there is always a dark side. The free love/hippie scene spawned the Manson Family and an addiction culture that continue to this day , as just a couple of examples, and the Christian revival was no different. The messages and extremes might have been different, but both have an impact that for better or worse is still felt to this day. We’re in an age now where every movement and important event that happened must have every side acknowledged, must give the full picture. From the good, to the thought provoking, to the evil. A lot of the older Christian members of my family are very excited for this film and I just can’t help but feel both jaded and concerned that a complete picture of this moment in religious history will not be painted clearly.

He even had an interesting encounter with the lead singer of Switchfoot once. He was fired due to budget cuts and of course like all good companies they started with the... highly experienced engineers? Klove is a bittersweet thing for me though because they did occasionally hold fun events for the children as I was growing up. However when my dad went to work for secular radio they did not fire people quite as often as Klove. Make of that what you will.

Very interesting that they made the decision to cast Jonathan Romie as the lead in a movie called The Jesus Revolution and put him front and center in the poster. It's a bit on the nose and while I do think that's sort of the point, Jonathan is playing a Frisbee here not Jesus. Which makes it hard especially when you mentioned Frisbee (like all of us) was a flawed human being. The casting rubs me wrong too. It is like if they got the passion Jesus for a movie in the early 2000s about BIlly Graham or Rich Mullins, it sort of makes the audience forget the portrayal that's happening here.

"Challenging the status quo", is the phrase you are looking for, along with a very naughty word a modern christian doesn't want to hear or be accused of: Lukewarm. Lazy. Or, lacking innovation/creativity. To add to that there is a desperate need for checks and balances in the system of the church if you guys really want a revolution. Back in the first century, the apostles operated in a conglomerate method where their congregations functioned like an embassy - not a book club with free cookies an euphoria. And that method was heavily established and maintained by the Judaic culture the apostles were raised in, and is still practiced today from Williamsburg all the way to Jerusalem. Hate to sound like the wet blanket here, or be the unpopular opinion: but who is the pay roller here? Who is really benefiting from this film being distributed? Honestly, I'm not thrilled about this from an outsider's perspective. The tone is coming off to me like a last, desperate effort to make a name or brand (like you said) and I'm very skeptical of the impact this will leave if any. However, maybe you're right, Kev... maybe it will be documentary style that exposes both sides of the story along with both good and bad impacts that happened since, but from what I've heard in the featurette so far it doesn't seem like it; it's coming off very partial at this point and I'm unconvinced that the movement was a success still. If the producers want to make an impactful documentary on something, talk about how quantity shouldn't supersede quality. Talk about how beating charm and feel good vibes with your own brand of charm and feel good vibes is a losing battle. Talk about that you can't fight fire with more fire or gasoline. Talk about something that genuinely get's people uncomfortable - for the sake of personal growth rather than clout - then maybe something will change; then maybe the audience will walk out critically thinking for once instead of becoming "yes men". If not, we risk staying circuitous like stagnant pools of water drying out in the sun whilst saying goodbye to the hope of us being like salt to the world. I like many have been told it's written not to conform to the patterns of the world, and yet you're [christian media] doing it while slapping "Jesus" on it to justify that foolish action and to avoid conviction. My honest question is why is that being rewarded these days? What are you hoping to gain from imitating your so called "enemy"? Not once do I recall the prophets or apostles imitating their "persecutors", so why is the church? That's like playing chess by checkers standards. Spiritual warfare is "Go" or "Igo" strategy, you have to think outside the box in order to win the game whilst taking your time, not copy your opponents moves due to being motivated by the clock ticking down. Anyways...Sorry for the novel. That's my two cents. Like it or hate it - I don't mind.

The only two good movies from the Erwin brothers are "October Baby" (hands down) and "Mom's Night Out". Aside from how well made these movies are, maybe another reason they stand out is that the Erwin brothers weren't actually trying to put a true story on screen and just making a good story that people can relate to in some way. It seems like every time they make a "true" story on screen, it just comes out polished and flashy (like Kevin said) and totally obliterates the original reality of the original story. Not only that, but what I've seen of a movie such as "Woodlawn", it's terribly acted, terribly put together, terribly executed for screen, etc. Whereas, "October Baby" is tender and sensitive to the topics it covers as well as the different sides of the issues. We see every side of the topic of abortion covered, people in different walks of life who are involved in some way, or confronted with it, or almost die because of it. No one is shown to be either an angel or a demon. We're all human, and the film acknowledges that, along with both how wrong things are, coupled with compassion for all involved in the film's plot. Issues like this don't have easy answers, and only God can give us the answers we need for each and every situation in life. The film concludes with the caption "life is beautiful", and leaves the viewer to decide, "What do I think?" I wonder why they stopped making movies like this.

What's the deal with Jonathan Roumie?? He's 15 years older than the age Jesus was when he died, which isn't that strange. He's cast in the Chosen pretty well. But when you add to that the fact that he's 5 years older than Lonnie Frisbee was when he died and that this movie doesn't (seem to) take place anywhere close to his death in the 90s, it makes you wonder why Roumie is consistently being cast as characters who are over a decade younger than himself.

@@donmcc6573 He is. But that doesn't fully explain the coincidence that he has now played two notable roles where his character is 15-25 years younger than his actual age. You can say (insert any actor's name here) is a good actor, but that doesn't mean that that is a good reason for them to play (insert any role here). The casting process is not just about acting ability, it's also about profiling. Age, race, gender, temperament, appearance, voice, and personality are all factors when casting. Being a good actor doesn't invalidate those other factors. So it remains odd to me that Roumie has managed to typecast himself so young when he is in fact noticeably older than the roles he's performing. Props to him I guess, but I still find it strange.

@@donmcc6573 ...and Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane. I know that people can play different ages. I'm not saying they can't or that they shouldn't. I'm not even saying that Roumie shouldn't. What I'm observing as "odd" isn't an indictment on anybody. I'm aware of lots of actors who've played different ages, but that doesn't shed light on my initial inquiry. The examples you are giving are all roles that required actors who need to play the same character at different ages (often using make-up to do so). Jesus and Lonnie Frisbee both literally died a significant number of years before they reached the age that Roumie is currently. That is what I find odd. Unlike your examples, there isn't an obvious reason to cast someone who is a radically different age. And I wouldn't have mentioned it if it only happened once, but it's the fact that Roumie (who is pushing 50) is playing a man in his early 20s after becoming famous for playing a man in his early 30s that prompted me to point it out. It's as if Roumie has been typecast as a perpetual young person, and I just want to know if anyone has any insights into why that might be. For example, would it be fair to say that the Christian acting pool is so small that the Erwin brothers had limited options of good actors who could pull off the 1970s hippie look?

Since there is no historical evidence of Jesus, a fictional character probably wouldn't care what they are doing now. Just like how Sherlock Holmes wouldn't care that the made up Enola or turned his character into an action hero. FYI

U should say there's no record evidence because things have been lost to time and we as humans have yet to see that evidence I'll never tell someone of a different of a different view or belief that because one u don't know for sure and you don't have absolute proof when anyone says stuff like that as facts that comes off as so arrogant and childish. So that's y I say recorded history because we found new information every day will just have to wait for the time when evolve enough to have that info or tech is able to verify this.

@@DeviantDork okay, if I brought up Josephus or Tacitus, or the fifty or sixty other people who wrote about Jesus as an historic person are irrelevant. I believe we have yet to find earlier texts than what we have now. A case in point would be the Dead Sea scrolls. I do believe Norman Golb's theory about their origins than I do the Essene story, but that's for another time. And where do you come down on Shakespeare? It's still being debated in some circles as to whether or not he existed. The desert is still giving up its secrets.

@@garyhooper3064 yes Josephus and Tactius are irrelevant because they were born after the supposed death of Jesus. Meaning it's not relevant to anything. The Bible (and the Dead Sea scrolls) is not evidence of Jesus it's making the claim that there is a Jesus, where is the evidence or writings? Please do research and see, I'm tryin to say this in a nice way 🙂 (Your Shakespeare question is just a straw man argument, so I won't talk about things that don't pertain to the question of, is there any historical evidence of a mythical creature.)
