Overcomer in Theaters this Weekend
I am really looking forward to seeing Overcomer in theaters this weekend. Starring one of my absolute favorite Bible Study ladies – Priscilla Shirer. This film also features Alex Kendrick whose production team has been putting out amazing movies for years such as COURAGEOUS, FIREPROOF, FACING THE GIANTS and #1 at the Box Office — The WAR ROOM.
This movie hits the target of Seeking God website focusing on the issue of IDENTITY.
The Kendrick Brothers have always produced high-quality films that move and inspire people to do the next best thing in their life and walk with Christ.
I always walk away from their movies wanting to make changes in my Christian walk. The other thing that I have loved about their recent releases on movies are the resources that they provide and this movie is no exception.
Just an FYI – I have not yet seen this movie. It releases today, August 23. I have received a small compensation for writing this post — movie tickets. Total Win-Win. I get to promote great products and enjoy them. I am writing this promotion based on the information I have and this information is strictly for educational purposes.

WHY IDENTITY?
“The movie OVERCOMER is about identity, an issue that everyone deals with. Everyone needs to answer the questions: ‘Who is God?’, and ‘Who am I?’, and the Scriptures deal with both of those things. When a person discovers who they are in Christ, it opens up an understanding of how they can live that out in a daily basis in what they do in their relationships with others.” — Stephen Kendrick
“I hope moviegoers will realize their salvation is about much more than just having a ticket to eternity. They were actually given a brand-new identity. Which means, they have access to spiritual blessings, they have an inheritance, they have all this stuff that’s available to them, this side of eternity. And when you realize that, that means the decisions you make, the relationships you have, the trajectory you choose, the ambitions that you hold, all of that stuff will reflect, and be indicative of your brand-new IDENTITY. That changes and transforms the way you live.” — Priscilla Shirer
“As people are walking out of the theater, we hope that they begin to ask questions about where their IDENTITY is found, because too often we find it in our circumstances, in our titles, in what other people are saying about us, in our jobs, in our positions or awards. Those things can be taken away.” — Stephen Kendrick
WHAT IS AN OVERCOMER?
“OVERCOMER in many regards, is a discovery of who we are in Christ, who gets to determine our identity and what we have to overcome to embrace the life God has for us.” — Alex Kendrick
“Overcoming is about powering through and realizing that on the other side of it you are stronger and more courageous than when you started.” — Shari Rigby
“Being an overcomer means you keep your head up and you know that you’re going to get through it; you figure out a way to get through it, you keep your faith strong, you get through it, and you just thank God.” — Aryn Wright-Thompson
“Being an overcomer means there is pain, discomfort, inconvenience, life’s tough, and yet you have joy and peace and all the stuff that you can only have if there is an anchor in your soul.” — Priscilla Shirer
