The upcoming film “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” is set to inspire Christians to make their voices heard at the ballot box. As part of the “God’s Not Dead” film franchise, this latest installment encourages believers to stand up for their faith and recognize the importance of voting in a society often divided over religious and political issues. The movie, premiering on September 12, follows the story of a pastor who enters a congressional race and faces opposition from a state senator who is hostile to religion.

Producer Michael Scott explained in an interview with Fox News Digital that the film delves into the intersection of faith and politics. “I think there’s been a wave over the last several years where people have been scared to talk about their faith in public,” Scott said. He highlighted that the movie challenges this fear, encouraging Christians to speak openly about how their beliefs influence their actions and decision-making.

The film’s main character, Reverend David Hill, played by David A. R. White, grapples with the question of whether God still has a place in modern politics. According to the film’s synopsis, Hill’s journey explores the deep political, civil, and spiritual turmoil of today’s world, posing an essential question: Should Christians be actively involved in shaping the future of their nation?

Michael Scott believes Christians should answer this question with a resounding “yes.” He emphasized how millions of Christians abstain from voting, and the film challenges this complacency, urging believers to vote for candidates who align with their values. “We should vote for what we stand for,” Scott said. “I always say, let your voice be heard, let your vote be heard. I think it’s so important.”

The film also highlights a crucial message: putting God at the center of political efforts is necessary to heal the divides in society. Scott believes that while no single politician can fully resolve the challenges America faces, allowing faith to play a role in these decisions can create lasting change. “If we put God in the center of that, that’s where we can see a difference,” Scott added.

The cast features a mix of faith-based film regulars and high-profile actors, including Isaiah Washington, Dean Cain, Samaire Armstrong, Ray Wise, Scott Baio, and Charlene Tilton. Notable guest appearances from Governor Mike Huckabee, Raymond Arroyo, and Grammy Award-winning band Newsboys lend further weight to the film’s message.

Great American Pure Flix and Pinnacle Peak Pictures, the production company behind “God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust,” have more faith-based films on the horizon. In October, audiences can expect “Average Joe,” a film about Christian high school football coach Joe Kennedy, who was fired for praying on the field and took his case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Additionally, a film based on “The Last Supper” is set for release next Easter.

“God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust” powerfully reminds Christians that they should not remain silent when it comes to matters of faith and freedom. With a stirring narrative and a call to action, the film challenges believers to defend their liberties and stand firm in their convictions, both in the public square and at the ballot box.
