Many thanks to Pinnacle Peak Pictures for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
Did you enjoy the previous God's Not Dead movies? I know I certainly did... and as the most successful faith franchise of all time, I'm clearly not alone in that! The franchise is back with a brand-new film, just in time for election year: "God's Not Dead: In God We Trust". Take a look:
Synopsis: Amid political and spiritual turmoil, Reverend David Hill steps up to run for Congress after an incumbent's sudden death. Battling against Peter Kane, who aims to erase religion from policy, David's fight becomes a beacon of hope and optimism for people seeking moral leadership in a divided world.
The film stars David A. R. White (GOD’S NOT DEAD, Evening Shade), Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy) Dean Cain (Lois & Clark), Samaire Armstrong, (The O.C.), Ray Wise (ROBO COP), Scott Baio (Happy Days), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), with guest appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee and Newsboys.
To be honest, while I've really loved the previous movies, I was a little more hesitant about this one. Frankly, the whole topic of politics just gives me a lot of anxiety with how very heated and divisive it can be. As such, I just didn't know if I was going to find this particular movie as enjoyable as the others. I was very pleasantly surprised though. Is it my favorite in the franchise? No. Did I 100% agree with everything in the movie? Also no. But I found it to be entertaining and a movie that can absolutely open the doors for important discussions too. While I certainly think this movie will likely appeal to some groups more than others, I appreciated that the story itself was completely fictional and didn't point at any real-life politicians or political parties as being in the wrong (at least not that I noticed while I was watching...) but in the end did remind us that we are to put faith not in any politician or party, but in God alone. I think this is a very important message to remember regardless of where we stand.
God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust is in theaters Sept. 12th in association with Great American Pure Flix and Fathom. Buy tickets today.
