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.

What Defines Who You Are

John Harrison is the basketball coach of a state winning basketball team. Hard changes are made and John’s life is full of uncertainty.

Everyone in town questions their future. Players and families move to look for new work.

In one quick turn of events, this town and this coach’s dreams come to a crashing halt. John’s life flips upside down when his only option is to take a position as the cross country team coach,

Coach Harrison has put his worth on his basketball team. When his frustration of these new changes come, he has to come face to face with his identity. Now, left answering one question we all must answer. What defines who you are?

Overcomer in Theaters this weekend, August 23, 2019.

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

You Are Beautiful

— On Board

As I was driving home from my son’s school, I saw a lady with one of those “— on board” signs.

I’ve always thought they were funny. When my sister lived in Australia she bought me one that said “Baby On Board” and it had a picture of a momma Kangaroo and her joey. So cute.

So I got a little closer because I wanted to see who was “On Board”. Only her “On Board” sign did not say “Baby” or “Cubs Fan”. It wasn’t followed by anything cute or funny.

Her’s was a derogatory word and it was referring to her. I’m sure you can fill in the blank to who was “On Board”

I wonder what occurs in a woman’s (or man for that matter) life to bring them to the point that they think of themselves in a way that is self-degrading. Or even worse to allow someone else to think about them or refer to them in that way.

I realize that some people find derogatory words to be a joke or find humor in them.

Personally, I think that deep down, those insults really hurt and are a cover-up. I realize that some people have built up a thick wall around themselves to protect their hearts from further hurt. But there is room for healing. There is a soul healer.

I know I have thought terrible things about myself — and by the grace of God, I was rescued from my own self-degrading thoughts.

You are Beautiful

I am here today to give you this message. You are more than your circumstances and your past failures. Other people don’t get to decide who you are and they don’t get to place words on you that mark your value.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Right before leaving my son at school we were listening to the radio. The song on the station was “Beautiful” by Mercy Me.
Part of the chorus of the song says:
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You were made for so much more than all of this
You’re beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You’re beautiful

I was just singing this song to my kids. I pray they will believe all of God’s truths about them and not the world’s version of them.

But now, this is what the Lord says—

he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush a and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. Isaiah 43:1-4

Dear Friends, You Are Beautiful

Dear Friends, The One who created you has a clear message.

He calls you by name. You are His.

You are not who the world says you are and you are not what your circumstances say you are.

He calls you precious and honored and he gave so much because He Loves YOU.

In fact, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for YOU. To rescue YOU. He did that all for YOU.

Why? He tells you here in Isaiah because YOU are precious to Him and He Loves YOU.

Your job is to respond to this call. Accept the gift that he offers you in Jesus.

The choice is yours. Choose what the world calls you or choose your identity in the fact that your Creator calls you by name. By your actual name.

Beautiful one, God, who knit you together in your mother's womb, knew you intimately before the foundations of the earth and knows all about you and loves you just the same.

Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Falling Away

The one relationship I failed to foster for so long was my relationship with Jesus. In fact, for much of my life, I spent my time running from Him. I had asked Him to be my personal Savior but I was falling away from Him.

Knowing He was within arms reach, I kept my arms stretched to keep Him at a distance.

I knew if He got too close my life would be revealed for what it was and I would have to deal with the perpetual sin in my life. So, I kept an arms distance and my eye over my shoulder so He couldn’t get too close.

I continued to run on that path until I could run no further, literally. I wanted to find a way back and thought about it many times, but didn’t know where to begin.

My thoughts quickly went to finding a church hoping that would be the answer. It may have been the place where I was physically confronted with God’s truth but my heart and my mind were far from home.

The reality was I needed to repent and turn back. My sin, however, had become my comfort and what I thought to be my identity.
