From the Kendrick Brothers, the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous, comes a powerful new film that will inspire moviegoers to start fighting their battles the right way—through prayer. WAR ROOM, in theaters August 28. http://warroomthemovie.com/
From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes WAR ROOM, a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives.
Tony and Elizabeth Jordan have it all—great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness. But their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth meets her newest client, Miss Clara, and is challenged to establish a “war room” and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth tries to fight for her family, Tony’s hidden struggles come to light. Tony must decide if he will make amends to his family and prove Miss Clara’s wisdom that victories don’t come by accident.
In theaters now and filled with more of the authentic characters loved by millions in previous Kendrick Brothers’ films, WAR ROOM is a vivid reminder that prayer is a powerful weapon.

War Room comes to theaters Aug. 28 and Christian leaders who received a recent sneak peek at Atlanta's Convergence Conference are singing its praises.
They're saying this cinematic tale of one woman teaching another to go to war spiritually in her prayer closet could be nation-changing.
"If you're really going to fight and be engaged in these last days battles for the Lord, we're going to have to do it in our prayer closets first," Kay Horner, Awakening America Alliance executive director, told CBN News.
"War Room is something that helps us realize that unless we engage in prayer in our personal lives and become an example in our families, to our children, that we're really just playing around and kind of like shadow-boxing," she added.
One thing the movie highlights is why the word "war" is right in the middle of the term "prayer warrior."
"I'm really happy to see a movie—a Christian movie—that talks about the most pivotal topic for a Christian: spiritual warfare," Atlanta's Carli Eli said. "The enemy is out there to steal, kill and destroy. And to see these characters really take that ownership with the presence of the Lord and take back their homes, their families, their marriages, their communities—it was just fantastic."
Eli said War Room's main message to her was, "We do have the power and the authority in the name of Jesus...that we should not walk in fear, that we should walk with the power of God to destroy all principalities and powers of darkness, and just walk in that victory that God has laid out for our lives."
"It's probably the most significant word from God to the Body of Christ that I've heard in the last 20 years," David Franklin, Georgia coordinator for the National Day of Prayer team, said of the film.
Franklin believes it will teach everyday believers, "I can do this. I can grab a hold of God Himself.'"
"And just by getting into the Word is the way to do that," Theresa Cantrell, Georgia Capitol coordinator for the Awakening America Alliance, said.
Cantrell had special praise for the movie's heroine basing her prayers on Bible passages.
"The way she had the Scriptures and she actually prayed the words of God, that Word came alive. It's the Living Word," she said.
Franklin pointed to research showing 58 to 60 percent of Christians feel stuck in their relationship with Christ.
"Number one way to get somebody unstuck? It's praying over an open Bible 15 minutes a day," he said. "Praying over an open Bible, those people's joy goes up, service goes up, and abundant life, giving, everything radically changes."
"Go on your knees, get on your face, pray the Scripture, pray the truth, and you'll see transformation," Bryan Davidson of Cumming, Georgia, said after seeing War Room.
Davidson talked about how a group of female prayer warriors changed his life.
"I'm saved because my mom and her prayer ladies, they prayed for me," he said. "It caused me to get real uncomfortable and it led me to Jesus."
Pastor Corey Lee of Atlanta's Convergence Church said War Room will provide a valuable education for many believers.
"We want to pray, but a lot of us don't know how to pray," Lee pointed out. "I think this is an historic movie that's going to shape the way the Body of Christ functions in America."
Genendal Fratantuono came out of the sneak preview emotionally touched.
"Look at my face: at the tears, my makeup all messed up," she said. "This is going to motivate people to pray and to trust God to give answers to the cries of their hearts. So it's wonderful."
War Room, like the Bible itself frowns, on lukewarm Christianity. Cantrell tied that into how she believes God is looking at America today.
"He doesn't want the half-hearted seeker," she said. "He wants someone who's desperate for Him and I think that's why here in America He's let us get a little bit desperate. He's let us see a degree of brokenness we've never seen before so that we would know we can't fix this ourselves."
That's one of the reasons Davidson said of the film, "It just gives us exactly what we need for the times that we're in right now. It's perfect."
Franklin, Cantrell, and Horner are all part of a national team organizing prayer gatherings this Sept. 11 called Cry Out America.
They believe it's no coincidence "War Room" is coming out just before those prayer gatherings.
"With War Room being released on August 28, we're hoping it's just going to be a real mobilization force to get people out at noon at their county courthouses on 9/11 to cry out to God for a Christ Awakening in America," Horner said.
"What God wants for a family, for a person, for a nation, has to become what we want," Cantrell added.
LOS ANGELES -- "God's Not Dead" broke box office records and became the highest grossing independent film of 2014. Now the film's creators are releasing their follow-up to the hit faith film. It is called "Do You Believe?"
Critics call "Do You Believe" a faith version of the Academy Award-winning film "Crash."
The movie follows a dozen characters, moving in different directions. All of them are longing for something more as their lives unexpectedly intersect. The all-star cast includes Mira Sorvino, Lee Majors, Ted McGinley, and Cybill Shepherd.
Shepherd and McGinley spoke with CBN News about their roles in the project.
'What Attracted Me to the Role?'
Shepherd plays Teri, a grief-stricken mother who lost her daughter.
When describing that role, Shepherd told CBN News Teri is "frozen because she is not really letting herself feel her grief. It is too deep. And that is what made me want to play this role, the idea of going through that transition, where my character faces her grief about losing that child."
Ted McGinley plays Matthew, a pastor.
"It starts off with me putting what looks like blood on the cross and turning around to the audience, really, with just a very straight face and sort of confronting all of them," McGinley said of his role.
"So it is a little bit uncomfortable at first," McGinley continued. "But you see he begins to come around. But he is a guy who is going to tell you the truth because that's what he just encountered."
Surprising Success
"Do You Believe" is the latest project from Hollywood actor and producer David A.R. White. His Pureflix production company has produced nearly 90 faith films in the nine years since it started. That hefty roster includes "God's Not Dead."
What does "Do You Believe" bring to the table for family friendliness that other films lack? Bob Waliszewski, Plugged In Online's director, answered this question and more. Click play to watch.
"I think it surprised everybody," White said, reflecting on the success of that movie.
"When we released the trailer in October, like six months before it came out, the trailer was shared between five and 10 million times. It was the number one shared page for that week on Facebook, so we had an idea that we had something special," he continued.
"And then the movement leading up to the release was really incredible. But never in a million years did we ever expect that it would do as well as it did and that people all over the world would support," he added. "And you would see these London, double decker buses with 'God's Not Dead' on it."
"It was truly a dream and also truly a dream to see how God used that movie in so many different people's lives," he said.
Praying for Double Blessing
White prays his new film will have a similar impact.
Pureflix films have also managed to cast some Hollywood heavy hitters. White credits compelling storylines.
"I think it is the script first and foremost. It moves them when they read it. I got a call from Delroy Lindo right after he read it. And his agent was like, he was acting the role out on the phone to his agent saying, 'I want to do this,'" he explained.
"And so, I think that is how that type of talent comes into it because it is not like the money we pay is extraordinary. Obviously there are so many other places that pay a lot more money, but people are really moved by the story," he said.
From a Place of Faith
"Do You Believe" delivers a story of both intensity and inspiration. And even many of the actors performed from a place of faith.
"I just know that God is there. I have no doubt. So, in my darkest deepest hours of pain and questioning, whatever comes along in your life, that at some point, you are not alone. And that is really comforting," McGinley told CBN News.
Shepherd noted, "I was raised in the Episcopal Church and then I chose to be confirmed. I sang in the choir and my faith was always there. I think being confirmed because you don't have to get confirmed and I still have that prayer book by my bed."
