And let me know if this sounds like a good movie to you or not below!
Was that your brother or an Ai duplicate? Yeah, very realistic lighting effects...
@@erhardtharris8727 That was his twin brother lol.
It sounds like Angel Studios is making better pureflix films and it's much appreciated. Also, Neal McDonough is definitely an ideal choice to play these types of villains lol.
Lastly, they got a very interesting cast here with Sean Austin and even well-known voice actors like Jason Marsden and Nolan North 🤔.
Thank you. Why do you use the choosen so much?
Didn’t work for me, any idea why?
My wife and I saw it last night. We don't go see movies often since Hollywood puts out so much garbage these days. We enjoyed the movie. Lots of action and the acting was excellent. Their low budget was detectable but not in a way that negatively affected the storyline. I give it a solid B+. I hope everyone will support these types of films so we will continue to have alternatives!!
Supply and demand, the higher the demand for these movies, the more they will be supplied. This is something I think of when I purchase things.
One thing I thought about when I was waiting for the previews to END was why do people pay so much for movies these days just to be advertised to for 30 mins.
I would have gone to see this if the review had shown up in my feed earlier. It just popped up today and my local theater stopped playing the film two days ago.
Look another ignorant bible thumper.
Even though multi-verse idea is totally anti-Christian
The wisdom in Job has been sadly missing from the church for too long. Equipping believers on dealing with suffering and helping them come through it is a huge need today.
The only movie I have been to the theater to see in 15 years was Sound of Freedom. I truly appreciate Angel studios putting out good movies worth going to the theater for.
The Blind, about the Robertson family, was really good too. I try to see Christian movies in the theater to show support 😊
Why can’t they show it in Europe? Why is it America only?
@@MD_ProductionIt could be licensed to run in Europe but 'Christian' movies don't usually do well there (even ones like The Sound of Freedom, The Blind, etc. that aren't blatantly 'Christian') 😥🙏🕊️
they probably will show it in Europe, but only at selected cinemas and for a very short time, so keep an eye out for release dates as it wont be advertised in any major way rather you will need to track it down to find release date and cinemas where it might be shown@@MD_Production
@@theohioshirey The Chosen serie does very well in Europe
We need more professional Christian entertainment, I am glad for this even though I haven't watched it yet. So I am interested
I am a Christian, I love Jesus but even I had my rebel phase and it was down to things like the utter poor boring tedious quality of the Christian entertainment. It was completely off putting to people my age but if you said anything against it you were shot down - usually by some preachy speech. That and the always happy clappy singing - I’m glad this movie exists because flip it, I’m NOT always happy, the world can be a dark awful place and sometimes I want to be miserable with God - the Bible has Job, had Lamintations, has Psalms screaming at God - Why?! People look at what they precise Christians to be and simply can’t relate and like me find that outlet in heavy metal music. We NEED stuff like this, remind the world that the first written book in the bible was a poem about a man who had lost everything sat in the dirt, head in hand’s saying - soon I will be in the land of the dead, at the end of my life everything I have ever done or said has amounted to nothing and my only value is my body will be food for the worms… where are you God?
@@richardharrison4762wow, well said. God bless you brother 🙏🏽
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.
John 3:16
Romans 3:23😊❤😊❤😊
@@pigjubby1 with respect Jesus himself guided people to the kingdom of heaven through parables - HE used entertainment as a way to spread His message. CS Lewis and John Bunyan used entertainment as a way to spread the gospel. You mean you have not heard of Narnia or Pilgrim’s Progress?
God asked Moses to look what he had in his hands, Moses said he had a stick. God used that stick to do miracles. Look at what you have in your hand, if what you have is the ability to tell a good story God will use that for His glory!
@@pigjubby1I could not agree more. We as christians have a job to do. As He increases in me I MUST decrease.
I was blessed to be able to work in the background on this movie. I have seen it twice now and I will be glad to give an honest opinion. The first time I saw it left me somewhat confused. Not because of the story line but because the whole movie was something different that what would have come out of Hollywood. There wasn't a single word that you wouldn't want a kid to hear. There were no scenes with gratuitous violence or sex. It was a pleasure to watch without having to feel like it was a guilty pleasure if that makes sense. The second time I watch it was even better. I had already seen myself on the big screen so that anxiety was gone and I could just enjoy the movie. It was really really good in my opinion. I think it helps to be familiar with the story of Job so that you can recognize the references in the movie. For those that aren't familiar I think there is a strong enough tie-in that it may make a viewer curious enough to read it. Everyone that I met and worked with, from Kris and Neal down to the runners, were wonderful. I think the whole thing was shot in 25 days. That is a heck of a lot of hustle. It is the kind of hustle that takes faith and dedication to accomplish. 100% recommend seeing this film, maybe even twice!
When you said that, "There wasnt a single word that you wouldn't want a lid to hear," made me think about the elicit language in Hollywood movies, how blasphemy of the name of Jesus Christ is used and how people drop the "G-da*it" word a lot. All of which I'm certain these movies don't have, correct?
This was a faith promoting, non-obscene movie, and I loved it! I can't believe they shot it in 25 days, I couldn't tell.
Fair warning though. This is no Hallmark sweet Gumdrop Christian movie. It gets real gritty in its depiction of evil, suffering, and doubt. This movie brings the Book of Job's truths to a 21st century audience.
25 DAYS!
That’s some acting done in 25 days! Going to see it soon!
@@rebbrown7140wow 25 days??
Bro...i thank God for you and your consistency in preaching the gospel pretty much in every video you make.

God test us in small things before He give us great things.
[10] “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. [11] So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

Ah Jobe's wife left him, the devil left her alive, let that sink in..... the woman is a bi#%@
I think it could be a good moive still but...
The writer of this movie is a mormon don't be fooled
Amen and Amen
I play Tina's father in this film. Yours is one of my favorite reviews to watch. Thanks!
Everyone did great, you included seeing the tension on your faces when the benefactor was around Tina really set the mood.
Amazing acting! God given skills👏👏😄
@@caos1925yeah, I agree. Seeing you (him) and the wife in the movie really scared in the background of the shots really set the scene
The book of Job demonstrates how evil God is and shows what Christianity is truly about..... Blind obedience to an evil character (fictional) that is jealous and demands that you both love and fear it or be tortured for eternity. Poor Job was tourtured and his family killed just to prove something to Satan (God doesn't know everything)? There is no moral teaching in this EVIL book.
Bipslone, God loved us first, and more than we could ever love Him, we could never die to save Him. Is it wrong for a husband to be jealous of his wife to think she should only be with him in intimate ways and not any other man? One spouse should fear the other for if they cheat on them. God did nothing to Job only took away the protection none of us deserve in the first place, and even after Satan hurt Job, God restored twice as much to him. How can you even say anything is evil though, without an objective moral arbiter such as God, everything is subjective. At best, you can only say, "I personally don't like that" There is no objective right or wrong, yet you innately know there is such a thing as right and wrong, that is the moral compass given to you by God but it is skewed right now.
I was pretty skeptical of this movie and although I’m generally a supporter of Angel Studios’ films, I’m a bit wary of their content as gospel clarity is often left to be desired. But this film gave a very creative take on biblical themes, which God so kindly used to remind me of His truths. The movie was confusing at times, but the messages were powerful. The power of prayer-that God does deliver us from the evil one-and that God is always with us, no matter how deep in the valleys we are, giving us comfort and hope in those dark places. Satan is an intense accuser and liar, but his plans will never prevail. The film even draws attention to how precious scripture is, making me appreciate how fortunate we are to have bibles and apps and study material. I don’t cry much, but I was balling through this entire film. My precious Jesus, how sufficient is His grace!
I love this comment and I definitely cried the whole film. From the acting to the message 🙌🏼

@@bipslone8880 ... I desired to honor God after so many times he rescued me so I at every possible moment would show grace to people just to make Jesus feel warm and fuzzy 🧖❤️🔥and one day Laying in my bed he flooded me with rivers of living water like a massive fountain pouring liquid love all over me it was so intense I thought I was floating away I become as light as a feather but I looked to my side and I was still in my bed ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 another time after fasting many days I didn't see him but his powerful majesty flooded my room .. I thought wow who is this mighty God how can he be so amazing ❤️🔥🧖⚡⚡⚡⚡🏕️another time living in a tent a thousand bolts of lightning hit hard just around my tent I said Lord the neighbors are going to ask me about this 🫢⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
@@bipslone8880 wow you missed the whole entire point of Job, by being Job's wife in that comment.. You place humans above God, Job was righteous but didn't have a relationship with God, you can be righteous in your humanism as you implied in your comment but if you don't have a relationship with God, you're not only missing the whole point of life, but you're missing who God really is, humiliated tortured beaten betrayed and crucified on the cross to pour His own wrath on Himself because He loves you. A Holy God can not let sin go unpunished that is not justice. Christ took your sin that you deserve death for, And God restored Job and blessed Him. A part you must have forgot. I encourage you to learn who Christ Jesus is and was and then you will know how merciful and forgiving God is ..
@@Name92391 What was the point of God allowing Satan to torture Job and kill his family? You said "God restored Job" but he didn't give his family back. What did Jobs family do to deserve death?
*YOUR GOD IS AN EVIL MONSTER*
*YOUR RELIGION IS ABOUT BLIND OBEDIENCE TO AN AUTHORITARIAN MONSTER*

I'm happy that there are films like this one and the chosen being made and hopefully this will continue. In the past, the quality of Christian movies hasn't been very good. I'm happy to see this changing.
Of course Christian films are.going to be goofy and low quality -- they're made by Christians.

My 23 yo daughter and I just saw this tonight. We both thought it was fantastic. I think she and I have in common that we are both pretty good at suspending disbelief to get into movies. So going in, not knowing much, but that it was supposedly based on Job or maybe just "loosely based" on the book of Job we were able to just roll with all the differences and appreciate a really great good vs evil storyline with a lot of interesting takes and surprises. I loved their use of lines of scripture, very evocative, very effective!

Loved that sibling cameo
It held my attention all the way through, the acting was all good - although of course Neil McDonough was outstanding as expected! Wouldn't have been the same without him. The ending was...somewhat rushed, and unsatisfactory in some ways, although it made for a good discussion on Job and how the story really broke parallel there. I'd give it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. Can't say I've seen a better explicitly "Christian" movie, and I appreciate that unlike nearly all the others, it didn't focus obviously on driving home/preaching a particular message, and avoided worn-out cliches and themes, this was something fresh! Well done, and worth the watch.
I agree the ending was a bit rushed. I wonder if this would have been better suited as a series rather than one movie.
I agree about the ending, as well as, other details that could’ve/should’ve been explained. However, overall I enjoyed this film and the many messages they conveyed.
No sorry but a lot of the acting was pretty bad.
I haven’t been to the movies in years before the pandemic and I’m so thankful I was gifted tickets to this movie…Without any prior knowledge or a preview, my husband and I were captivated watching "The Shift" tonight. Packed with wisdom, I highly recommend this film, especially for those navigating tough times. It's a powerful reminder that, no matter how long you endure a challenge, never give up. Lean on the foundation of faith, and just when you're on the brink, God shows up. The film explores the battle between good and evil, urging viewers not to lose faith. With numerous highlights and profound reminders, "The Shift" is Oscar-worthy, and I'm eager to add it to my collection.
I just saw it with my wife. We both enjoyed it very much and I am still unpacking all the different messages in the movie. I probably will see it again. It is unusual for me to watch movies twice.
Same! It’s unusual for me to watch movies twice, but I already watched it twice and now wanting to watch it one more time.

The multiverse John edit was clean 👌
It was a very unique movie - I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sci fi approached from a Christian perspective before. This was a very refreshing movie, great acting, great cinematography, great editing, and I enjoyed every bit of it!
The album Terium by the band Seventh Avenue is a sci fi approach from a Christian perspective.
I'd hv to say the Left Behind series is probably the only Christian sci-fi type movie I can think of I've seen .

Ha ha, good old Damien Darkh from the Arrow series!
💯 good choice 👍
@@johnlee7699he'll always be buck compton for me, the best role hes ever played
@rad_lad_2715 I loved him as the psychopathic villain on the show "Justified". He was just terrifying.
Woah woah woah, Nolan North is in this? Not sure how I missed that, but I think you may have just swayed me over to needing to see this film.
Edit: yooooo and Emily Rose is there too? Even though I’m not in the mood for dystopia media right now, Imma have to go lol
Your explanation of suffering was extremely helpful and deserves to be shared!!!!
Just finished the movie! It was well done. Not cheesy, with a great gospel message
I saw it and think that it's great that Christian Movies are making a comeback. The world really needs it.
I’ve been waiting for 3 years for this to release. The moment I saw the trailer of the man praying in the cafe, as the guy who played Satan trying to discouraging him, I new I wanted to see it.
This movie gives me hope that my dream of making big-budget Bible book adaptations can still happen. It will probably be years from now, but there is clearly a market for really well-made Christian movies that aren't preachy.

My teenage son and I watched it last night and really liked it! I was an investor so I was nervous on how it would turn out, but I was very pleased. Great acting, too!
“The only reason we have salvation in the first place is because we’re NOT getting what we deserved aka eternal punishment”
Had to yell AMEN to that, it hit strong
You outdid yourself with this one, brother. Keep em coming, and God Bless!
Damien Darhk as the Devil is absolutely perfect. He was perhaps the best villain ever in both Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.
My family and I saw it yesterday, for my 30th birthday. I really enjoyed the movie! As a sci-fi and Bible nerd, I loved how they effectively incorporated the sci-fi genre into a Christian film. And I too am happy to see the higher quality production and acting in faith-based films, these past few years especially!
A fellow man of culture, I see.
Bible nerds who might not be all that religious did appreciate "The Book of Eli"; this isn't as good as "Eli", but few movies are, and "Shift" got the job done. Or near-enough.
Loved the movie! I was an early Kickstarter for it and I agree that there was not a dull moment in it. My wife and I liked the love story in it and the special effects were good given the budget. The music was awesome, but I do not think I saw a single cross in it. Maybe it was because the primary world where the story took place is controlled by the Benefactor who outlawed the Word. It was a great movie without the usual tropes found in most Christian movies which I really appreciated. A non-Christian can watch this movie and not get turned off by it and will still take away the positive message of God's love in it.
Thanks for the great review! Can’t wait to see it with my hubby. I’m so picky about Christian art in general, so I’m glad to hear that things are continuing to come along! We have so many reasons to create amazing content! Keep it up and God Bless!! ❤
I watched it this morning, I truly LOVED IT!!!
I used to go to the movie theaters really often, not so much anymore. The previous movie I watched was Sound of Freedom. Congrats to Angel Studios!
I am always really excited to see Christian movies come out where the antagonist is Satan or sin, itself, and not non-Christians. I don't like the "us versus them" mentality some Christian media seemingly unknowingly produces but am genuinely interested in this one!
Anyone else get the littlest bit nitpicky when he said endgame was a multiverse movie?😂😂
Saw this a couple of days ago. It was surprisingly really good. I was expecting B level acting and cinematography, like a Hallmark TV movie. I thought it was really engaging with strong acting across the board.
What a well-made video! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I loved the cameo from your brother! ❤
Thank you so much for bringing the Gospel into every video. Bless you for this ministry.
I loved the movie! I’ve been following Angel Studios as they promoted and previewed the movie for many months, so I was anxious to see it. I was like you, there was no time when I wasn’t completely captured by what was happening. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to see it again soon.
What a contrast to the recent Disney flick, Wish.
Great review without giving away the ending. Angel studios have brought the gospel to more folks in these last days so that they will find the Lord. I’m praying it continues.
This was best Christian film I’ve seen in a while. I’m a sci-fi fanatic, especially in the sense of multiverse and time travel, and in a sense this was a bit of both. I especially loved the unrelenting faith of Kevin, and his determination to get back to his true wife. My favorite scene was when he saw her on the screen and tried to reach for her. The cat finally showing up was another favorite! 😂
The book of Job demonstrates how evil God is and shows what Christianity is truly about..... Blind obedience to an evil character (fictional) that is jealous and demands that you both love and fear it or be tortured for eternity. Poor Job was tortured and his family killed just to prove something to Satan (God doesn't know everything)? There is no moral teaching in this EVIL book.
@@bipslone8880 but didn’t Job get back double what he lost due to his refusal to curse God? It’s not about a lesson of morals, but of the faithfulness of God. If you believe God to be evil, that’s your heart because you have something against him. I have had resentment towards God for how things occurred in my life, but if I look at it objectively, I can see where He allowed me to make my own mistakes, and therefore nothing that has occurred was His fault. I know this has nothing to do with the story of Job, but I hope you will take an objective look at your life and ask yourself why you hate God.
@@christiedunlap6214 That makes torture of an innocent person right? He didn't get his family back. God allowed his family to be killed.
faithfulness of God in this context is blind obedience. Gods law in one of the ten commandments is "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.". That is his refusal to curse God. Job asks God why he did this to him and God flips his lid for even asking.... that is evil that you would see in a psychopathic kidnapper. Christianity is like a relationship with an abusive partner. Love me, fear me, don't talk back
The god of the Bible is evil, you should really read the Bible. I have a lot more examples.....PS saying I hate God is like saying I hate Voldemort from the harry potter books.... he's an evil character but not real and has no real effect on my life
Wow! I didn't expect the review to get all multiverse, but it was very creative. Well done.
I seen a 20 minute preview this morning, looked really good. Hope its good to watch.
Love your brother’s cameo. Cool editing job.
One of your best YT vids. Production was great and for someone not that into multiversal movie, you did a great job explaining and visually showing the concept. Love your clips overall, may need to buy more merch now.
Crazy that this video came out as soon as I was walking in to see the movie
Job's wife was a real peach. I'm glad they didn't do a 1:1 walk-through of Job. It's a long book. The Job story we all know is about 3 pages long. Then, there's around 30 pages of dialogue between Job and his three "friends." It would be a LOT of talking on screen. :D
Yo the movie was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Found myself wanting to see what would happen next and was genuinely wondering how it was going to end.
The story is more loosely based on the story of job but I think it was better that way. You got to experience the pain and are faced with tough choices, making the choice of honoring God even harder than I realized.
Acting was really good, I felt sucked in and wanting to know the characters more. It's not as big brain as ophenimer but it tackles a question that we really don't hear in movies which is the problem of evil and if God is there. (Still a smart movie, but it's not complicated to follow.)
I want to see this director make another movie with more time and more resources.
My wife and I watched the movie, and we were both captivated by it. From the opening verse they put on the screen from Job, we understood that it was the inspiration for the movie. The acting and effects were great. It was a movie that you had to pay attention all along to keep up with the story line. And, as in the book of Job, the final blessings of God came through. I definitely recommend people see this movie.
When you explained what the multiverse is, you said (I'm paraphrasing) "for example, there could be another me in a different universe and the only thing different would be that I'm wearing a black hoodie", and then you were suddenly wearing a black hoodie for the rest of the video. That was smooth multiverse Jon 😂
Bravo! Bravo! Well done brother WhaddoYouMeme and twin
Bro! For someone who doesn’t like multi-verses, you sure did an amazing creative job on this video! Lol
The jumps and adding your twin brother are crazy! lol
I’m probably going to check this movie out with my wife now, mostly because of that! 😅
Was discombobulated for a sec, because he looked like John but had no beard. And he looked too realistic to be cgi lol
Thanks for confirming haha
Yeah I caught that 👍🏾😅
@@tagnenjosephs3124 haha! Yea! He’s talked in prior videos about how he’s got a twin brother that he’s super close with and that he remains agnostic. He’s featured in at least 1 or 2 other videos he’s done previously…. Or at least a pic.
I find it actually pretty close to Job, the Benefactor is a compiled character. Obviously, he’s Satan, but he also serves as the voice of Job’s friends.
Great review! I felt like I wish I could rewind while watching! Might have to watch twice!
I was so happy this movie happened! I had the opportunity to back it when it was only a short film and I’m so glad I did! The closure that this movie brings to the original short film is perfect, especially with the Job parallels.
Just saw it tonight. Was one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Taking my mom on Sunday, we’re excited!
Awesome editing! I wanted to see what you would say before I would see the movie. Your Biblical perspective is always so clear & appreciated. I will see the movie now.
Love your edits in this video…the quick change of clothes and maintaining your line of discussion… Thanks.
Let's support the few that are good, so that more can be made. Blessed.
I haven’t seen the movie, but the ‘based on the book of Job’ bugged me. Call it inspired by Job, as you said, and that would have been much better. I’m looking forward to seeing it none the less. The short film absolutely captured me.
Definitely go into it thinking “inspired by Job” My husband thought it was going to be the book of Job set in modern day and that threw him
I'm definitely going to see it!! I will support it!!
🤨 Something about this movie feels eerily familiar. I remember reading a novel almost 40 years ago by Robert A. Heinlein titled Job: A Comedy of Justice. It makes a mockery of Christianity. In it, a man travels through alternate realities, meets Satan, gets separated from the woman he loves, and decides heaven is worthless without her. There's even an appearance by Mary Magdalene. If this movie isn't connected to or some kind of copy of that novel, what is it?
Interesting, has anybody connected to the movie acknowledged that book?
@skymps Not so far as I know. But I haven't seen the movie yet. I remember having a conversation about the book years later with a coworker. I told him I was shocked at the sacrilegious stuff in the book, like the idea that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. He said that wasn't shocking; it was a well-known idea. I later found out it is a well-known idea in Mormonism, and, yeah, he was a Mormon. It's just curious to me as I think back on all this that this movie is produced by Mormons. Now, I'm sure they've probably made a good movie that's respectful of Christianity and all, but it does make me wonder...
@kaklingdelinquent Thanks for the reply. I'm truly intrigued by the connection to Heinlen's novel, and I hardly know what to make of it. I wish more people would see my comment and discuss it. I'd like to get their input.
I do like to support Christian movies, especially ones that don't suck. But I'm guessing I'm probably not excited or motivated enough to get off the couch and go see this one. I'll probably just wait for it to show up on Prime.
Your comment about justifying sin when under suffering really impacted me. Ty.
What caught me and made me want to see The Shift, was the short. The end of the shift short film overwhelmed me.
Loved it! Great acting! Neal was amazing as the benefactor! I want to see it again😀
I love the multiverse meme you got going on. Keep it up! 😄
Why is it always in the US-Canada region only? I really want to see it as an Eastern European and it always is unavailable.
I just saw the commercial a few days ago I can't wait to watch it.
Awesome! Thank you... Good review... I want to see it!!
I thought it was well acted and held my attention all the way through. I’d hoped it would have been more biblical
Yesssss, I agree with the comment about Job. I was trying to figure out how his story fit what was happening and so it does seem like a stretch to say it’s a modern retelling. If they didn’t say that about it, I don’t think the average person would have put the two together. Having said that though I still liked the movie. They did more than most films do with a smaller budget. A lot of smaller budget films seem poorly put together, but this one showed everyone came and did their best despite the budget constraints. As one of the Angel investors it’s exciting knowing my very small contribution helped get it made and now playing on the big screen.
Went in to the theater knowing nothing about this film, other than it was a sci-film multiverse. (I was expecting something more action-y, less brain-y.) Figured out it was The Story of Job, several scenes before the movie mentioned the Book of Job. So I will have to disagree with you there...
Loving the reviews and how you always tie it back to the gospel. 👆🙏
You are so gifted, praise God, for the sake of His Kingdom!
HeyJohn, Did your brother get saved? Last I heard you speak about him years ago, he wasnt. Seeing him appear in this video, wearing your Grace via Faith shirt gave me hope. I hope that was a reality and not just a multiverse!
This movie is so amazing! I'm blessed to be a guild member and was able to watch it from the comfort of my home. I'm such a fan of the way Angel studios makes movies and TV series. This is up there for me right under The Chosen. I also happen to be a multiverse super fan 😊
The feature (John's twin yeah?) in 5:22; love it😂👏🏽👏🏽
Great message, brother! 😀
I'm glad he's honest & genuine about different types of movies & what they're really about or portraying.
The shift… Is actually the shift that we are going through and society right now. What they did was took four years to show everyone how insane people have become and how bad things are so that they will beg for the opposite.
I watched Godzilla : minus one yesterday , it was totally awesome by TOHO original 70th anniversary special .
I will check this new Movie you speak of , always interested in good stories and merits behind stories , thanks for spreading the movie around .
It's very interesting to hear about this book. I thought about the book of Job often after hearing my agnostic perhaps atheist co-worker tell me about it. When he was young a was young as a teenager he started to get into attending church with some friends. And then one day he opened up the Bible a random effort he came to the book of Job and then he turned away. I'm sure there were other things in his mind but he says that the whole idea of God testing somebody like that turned them off to the thought that God was good. I tried to explain to him the meaning of the story but I need to make a thoughtful effort at how I say anything & when
You should check out Mike Jones' Inspiring philosphy on his video analysis of the Book of Job. He did an amazing breakdown of this book. It's about an hour long and it really reassured my thoughts on God's character on this Book.
Here is the link to the video if you're interested.
People don't understand Job. God takes the shallow faith of a man who has a simplistic notion of God and makes that faith unconquerable; or in other words, God gives a man who thinks he has everything but actually has very little the most precious gift that can be given - the knowledge of God. It's literally the opposite of what most people seem to take away...even those who value the knowledge of God. It's also happens to be the clearest early scriptural example of how the divine council functions and how God uses the weak and broken children He adores to humiliate the arrogant and rebellious powers that be.
Can hardly wait to see this movie . Thank you for info !
I never really got the vibe that this was a Christian film from the trailers, but I’m interested to hear your thoughts.
The movies "Nefarious" and "Sound of Freedom" were excellent.
Utter respect for Neal McDonough, especially given the choke hold that Hollywood has on its actors. McDonough is an exceptional actor and I have loved all he has been in.
My friend had tickets, but NM is the main reason I went to see it.
Anyone else wanna know how Kevin could see Molly’s doppelgänger in the theatre? Was that God giving him hope or the Benefactor messing with him?
The production quality on this video is fantastic!
Going to see it this week!
Appreciate your witness Brother!
Might actually go and see this if I have time. It’s hard tho since I work night shifts 5 days a week
Can't wait to watch this. Thank you
I saw the trailer before knowing it was a Christian movie, and I thought it seemed like a sacrilegious movie. The whole concept of shifting between a multiverse is putting the character in a godlike position. It is placing oneself as their own god. It is good to hear your thoughts.
Yeah but he doesn’t shift into another dimension the benefactor does to show his power but at the end God is victorious
@@vanessagowora Did you watch the film? Does the benefactor take him into the other dimensions?
@@hyzenthlay713 no I didn’t watch the movie but I heard about what through other Christians it’s the benefactor that takes him to other dimensions. No true Christian believes in the multiverse because the definition of multiverse is there are multiple versions of you. This one can be seen as an allegory that makes it seem that the benefactor is powerful when he really isn’t.
Great overview of the movie and wonderful insight into the book of Job. Thanks!
Love the book of Job.
Thank you, brother, thank you.
Thank you prayers for each of you❤🎉
Angel Studios is an arm of the Mormon Church.
About suffering..Where you said that Christ didn’t get what he deserved so that we could get what we didn’t deserve, eternal life, really really struck me. Just the way you put it. I replayed it about five times. Thank you
I'm looking forward to watching this movie! Great review John! Now I'm curious, who is the other guy in the review that resembles you! Is that your brother?
I'm looking forward to seeing it !!
