When a college student is tasked with scientifically proving the existence of God to his professor and classmates, he’s forced to examine his beliefs. If his argument fails to convince, he fails the class. Now a movie, God’s Not Dead weaves stories from multiple characters with perspectives on faith, doubt and disbelief and culminates in a dramatic call to action: If you believe God’s not dead, prove it.
Based on the book of the same name by Rice Broocks, co-founder of the Every Nation family of churches, God’s Not Dead explores the historical, scientific and theological evidence that God is anything but dead.
“I think so many people know God is real, but they haven’t ever been challenged to show it,” Broocks says. “And I think a lot of people know God is real but want to know if you can give them a way to describe it to a person that doesn’t believe.”
The film is an avenue for a wide variety of people to hear the message.
“These brilliant folks from Pure Flix have come along and put together this movie that can bring [the concept of God’s Not Dead] in the form of story to go places that the book and music will never go,” Broocks says.
The movie highlights a star-studded cast, including Kevin Sorbo (Soul Surfer), Shane Harper (High School Musical 2), David A.R. White (Six: The Mark Unleashed) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman), with special appearances by the Newsboys and Willie and Korie Robertson of the popular reality TV series Duck Dynasty.
God’s Not Dead will release on more than 600 screens nationally this month. The film is rated PG. —Felicia Abraham
