Little House on the Prairie (Peacock TV)-Take a voyage back to a simpler time with this award-winning series, which tells the story of the Ingalls family in their quest to survive in the American Midwest of the 1800s. The film was inspired by the teachings of the late Adrian Rogers and includes interviews with Tony Evans, Albert Mohler, Lee Strobel, Mike Huckabee and Jennifer Rothschild, among others. Nothing But the Truth (Streaming)-It’s a documentary that examines our culture’s embrace of relativism and rejection of biblical truth. It will be in theaters for three nights: Oct. and Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli. God’s Not Dead: We the People (Theaters)-It’s the fourth film in the God’s Not Dead franchise and follows the story of several Christian homeschool families who challenge the government’s interference in what their children are taught. It’s rated Rated PG-13 for some drug material and thematic elements, but, honestly, I thought it should be rated PG. The film is a “defense of the humanity of these artists,” Erwin said. It’s a fascinating and inspiring film that reveals key behind-the-scenes moments in CCM history but also raises important questions about racial diversity and the church’s tendency to “eat their own.” It is one of the best documentaries you’ll ever watch-especially if your spiritual walk has been boosted by these and other CCM artists. Smith, TobyMac, Kirk Franklin and Lauren Daigle.Īndrew Erwin calls the film a “love letter to the music that shaped our careers.” Before they made films, he and his brother were music video directors for multiple artists, including Casting Crowns. It was directed by Jon and Andrew Erwin-the same filmmakers behind I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe and Woodlawn-and includes interviews with dozens of music artists, including Bill Gaither, Steven Curtis Chapman, Eddie DeGarmo, Michael Tait, LeCrae, Amy Grant, Mandisa, Michael W. The new documentary Jesus Music follows the birth and growth of Contemporary Christian Music, beginning in the 1960s and continuing during its growth in the 1980, 1990s and through today. And soon after that, it was playing on radio stations nationwide.
Simply put, many people in the church in the 1960s and 1970s didn’t approve of “long-haired hippie” music-even if lyrics about Jesus were at the core.īut then Christian leaders like Chuck Smith, Greg Laurie and Billy Graham stepped forward to embrace Contemporary Christian music. Sixty years ago, though, the American church was in a different place, largely opposing this new style of music, which mixed elements of rock, folk, country and gospel to form a new sound with a Bible-centric flare.īack then, hymnals were the music of choice.
