Top Faith-Based Movies To Watch

A good way to unwind from the work stress is by watching uplifting and inspiring content/movies with family and friends. It is wise to be intentional about how one chooses to unwind after a long day or week, especially if one is a Christian. As Christians should always engage in activities that are spiritually uplifting and edifying. 

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Ephesians 4:29 NKJV

There are numerous reasons as to why faith based movies are good alternatives to secular movies in Christian homes. They include:

1. Faith based movies inspires us in ways we may never know possible. 
2. They help us keep track of our values, our Christian faith, as we see the embodiment of these values in specific characters.
3. They are entertaining, powerful storylines that inspire us. 
4. They are emotional, funny, thought provoking and help further spread God’s word.
