Several faith-based films are available for Christian audiences to enjoy this fall. Offerings abound this season, and movie lovers can enjoy everything from a story about a rock star to one about a saint to a film about American freedom.

In recent years, Americans’ appetite for faith-based content has grown. For example, the film “I Can Only Imagine,” based on the life story of Christian singer Bart Millard, brought in $17.1 million domestically during its opening weekend in 2018 and over $83 million overall, exceeding expectations.

Although some thought the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns might stifle these films’ interest and success, audiences moved from movie theater seats to streaming services. Now theaters are back in full swing, and so is the amount of Christian content available. Here are some of the faith-based films hitting theaters this fall.

‘To Die For’

Actor John Schneider stars in To Die For,” which will be available on DVD and streaming at CineflixDOD this month. The original film is being promoted as a passion project for Schneider, where he puts it all on the line for America. As the writer and director, Schneider takes a stand for patriotism and the American flag as he frequently does on social media. In a statement, Schneider shared, “We made this movie with a crew of under 10 people over the last 10 months because we had to. The madness has gotten to the point where something must be done. All great movements and reclamations begin with a single thought and a God-given means of expression. This is mine.” To learn more about ‘To Die For,’ click here.

‘Paul’s Promise’

Set during the height of the 1960s civil rights movement, “Paul’s Promise” (Damascus Road Productions, Uptone Pictures and SaltShaker Media) is about a formerly racist firefighter-turned-pastor named Paul Holderfield Sr. The film chronicles Holderfield’s impoverished upbringing, nights he went to bed hungry and listened to his mother pray for food for her children.

The film is an inspiring story that celebrates the vitality of marriage and the bonds of friendship that help firefighters, police officers and EMTs through the daily challenges they face.

‘I Can’t Breathe’

“I Can’t Breathe” tells the story of Tom Laresca, a white man who went for a walk in 1998 in his suburban neighborhood in Boca Raton, Florida, that changed his life forever.

Currently streaming on Amazon, the film shows how Laresca nearly lost his life while being assaulted and humiliated steps away from his house. An article on JC Films reads, “The purpose of the film is to challenge those living in despair to seek God’s purpose in it. Satan would have you believe it is a stumbling block. God wants you to know it is a stepping stone.”
