The beauty of Netflix is that no matter what kind of film you’re looking for, the streaming service has a massive variety in each different genre for you to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for something uplifting, a comedy that will leave you in stitches, or a kid-friendly movie the whole family can enjoy together, Netflix has it. Sometimes, the best family-friendly movies have more significant meanings and themes about life and faith that we can all learn from. There are plenty of Christian films on Netflix to choose from if that’s what you want to watch.

How do we keep going when times are difficult? We could all use a reminder that there is a plan for us, and movies are one of the most meaningful ways to take in lessons on life, love, faith, and strength of character. Here are some Christian films that you can watch on Netflix.

“A Week Away” (2021).

A musical, “A Week Away,” is Netflix’s latest faith movie release starring Kevin Quinn and Bailee Madison. Troubled teenager Will Hawkins (Quinn) has two choices after a run-in with the law: go to juvie or choose Christian summer camp. With the latter looking more appealing, Will begrudgingly attends camp, where he finds a surprising connection in the last place he expected to open his heart to love.

“Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable” (2019).

Since Netflix pulled “Soul Surfer,” the dramatic Christian movie based on the inspiring true story of Bethany Hamilton, it’s since replaced the film with Hamilton’s 2019 documentary. “Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable” is about the young surfer’s life after the shark attack that seemingly defined her. Spoiler alert: It didn’t. As much as faith and prayer were a thematic element in “Soul Surfer,” “Unstoppable” is Hamilton’s story of a longing for a happy, healthy marriage, becoming a mother, and her strength and courage both on and off the surf.

“Blue Miracle” (2021).

Starring Jimmy Gonzales, Dennis Quaid, and Anthony Gonzalez, “Blue Miracle” is the true story about a guardian and his kids finding an unlikely partnership with a boat captain to win a fishing competition and save their boys-only orphanage in Mexico. Maybe you can find faith even out on the water.

“Come Sunday” (2018).

Based on real-life, “Come Sunday” tells the story of Carlton Pearson, an internationally-renowned pastor who makes headlines when he begins to question church doctrine and, ultimately, his faith.

“God Calling” (2018).

Devastation and grief after losing a child lead Sade into a suicidal depression. But somehow, somewhere in her suffering, she finds her way back to her faith, proving not all hope is lost.

“The Young Messiah” (2016).

“The Young Messiah,” tells the story of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When he was seven years old, Jesus and his family left Egypt to return to Nazareth. A beautiful movie that tells the story from Jesus’ young perspective as he grows and evolves into the spiritual icon we know of and praise today. This film is a meaningful educational tool for families and children to learn of Jesus.

Movies can be a great way to learn and reinforce life lessons. The best part about these movies is that they’re great for the whole family to watch. Having a list of Christian movies to watch is also great if you’re looking to delve deeper into your faith or are looking for ways to explore specific topics that the Bible discusses. From word-for-word Bible adaptations that teach you about the life of Jesus to based on a true story inspirational films, there is truly no shortage of suitable lessons and faith-growing moments found in this lineup of must-see movies. So pop your popcorn and snuggle up on the sofa for a good movie night.
