Although this film has been out for sometime, I felt compelled to write about it. When first thinking about watching another sports flick, the inevitable images of the poor team gets their act together and wins it all scenario didn’t feel too appealing to me. But after watching only half of this movie I already knew I now longer wanted to rent it, but own it.
Firstly, one surely does Not have to be a football fan to enjoy this movie. And what stuck me most about it, was the all important life questions it brings up, and how they are dealt with. This movie comes at football from a totally different perspective, which is why am writing this post. This story of an emotional roller coaster of faith is refreshingly new, from the long list of sports films, which alone makes it worth the watch.
I have come away from the movie asking myself, “How will I respond to this in my life????
And an aching question lingers in the back of my mind, “How would this world change if some people would live like the Couch Grant Taylor and his wife Brooke did????

I have the opportunity several years ago to visit this church on Wednesday nights and saw then the way the people there with to use the media as a way to reach people for Christ outside the 4 walls of the church. It impressed me so much that every month when my meetings were to take place in Albany, Ga I would pack my Bible with me and always attend the service every Wednesday night. I was leaving behind a child of 9 years old and a wife in Central Florida to be required to attend a training class with the company i worked at I very much was a blessing as the other groups of guys from the company would go in party I would get my Bible and go to church. I was so alone until I began meeting the People at the church (some of whom I reconized in the movie. I Praise God for the ministry that they have.
I enjoyed this movie more than any that I have seen in years. What a wonderful ministry and what a creative way to reach the lost for Christ. I was left asking myself “Is anything impossible for God?”.
Thank you Craig, for your comments. I can hosetly say I’m jealous. Sounds like a wow experience to me. And Jane, you echoed my thoughts completely. But the answer to your question is Yes there are things that are impossible for God and fortunately for us it’s all the things we would hope He could not do. Like God can Not go back on His word. God can Not lie. God can not stop loving us. God can not leave anything that His word has said unfinished. There’s not much He can’t do, but I for one am thankful for the ones He can’t too.
How we loved “Facing The Giants”. God truly reached out to all Christians to encourage us.
