Faithful Friday - "Family, Faith, and Inspirational Movies"

If you're like us, you get discouraged and even disgusted with the content and language in movies these days.  I know that we're always on the search for movies that we feel good about our family watching.  We want movies that build faith and character and inspire us to live our lives in a way pleasing to God.

I thought I would share some of these.  I know we're not the only ones looking for family, faith, character-building, or inspirational movies!  (Thanks Susannah for inspiring me to share these)!  :)

Some of these movies we have rented from Redbox, some are from Netflix, some we've purchased from our Christian Bookstore (Family Christian or Lifeway), and a few from Walmart as well.

** Subject matter in some of these movies may not be suitable for young children.  As the parent,  please use your own judgement for what's best and appropriate for your family. **  There are a few on here that contained subjects that we weren't ready for our little one (5 years old) to be exposed to (especially the 180 Movie).

It's so nice to watch movies that build up instead of tear down.  And it's wonderful to have good things to ponder.  :)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  

 

Philippians 4:8
