Ashley Bratcher became a household name when she played a former Planned Parenthood executive turned pro-life advocate in the Pure Flix film “Unplanned.” Since that role, she’s carved a niche as an entertainer who sees acting as activism.

Now, Bratcher is working on “Finding Faith,” her seventh project with Pure Flix. The movie, set to debut in November, also stars John Schneider and Vivica A. Fox. The story focuses on Victoria, played by Bratcher, a Christian advice columnist whose personal life has turned upside down after her mother’s death. This trauma throws her faith into a tailspin.

Bratcher’s character is also facing challenges in her failing marriage, a harsh reality the Christian actor said isn’t played well in many movies today. She told CBN’s Faithwire, “I think this is a movie a lot of people are going to be able to relate to because, sometimes, I think, people expect — as a Christian — to have their life together and everything be perfect and that’s not the case. As Christians, we face a lot of trials in our lives, and it’s nice to see someone struggle and rediscover her faith.”

It was her character’s broken marriage that drew Bratcher to the project. After reading the script, the actor said she thought of the modern “hookup culture” as denigrating the value of marriage as God designed it: a lifelong union between one man and one woman. She said, “Marriage has become somewhat disposable, and to be able to see people learn to fight well was something that I wanted to put out there because there’s not a ton of movies about reconciling marriage — at least not in a long time. This is a movie about a woman who is taking control — or trying to take control — of her life and figure it out and really learn to fight well. We always think of fighting in a negative way, but there’s a good fight to be had, and I really like that about this movie.”

While it is tricky to pinpoint exactly what percentage of marriages in the U.S. genuinely end in divorce, the number is undeniably higher than it should be, which is cause for concern. It is generally believed nearly half of all marriages will end in separation. So often, those fractured relationships cause crises of faith in people’s lives. Part of the problem, Bratcher argued, is reconciliation and sacrificial love simply aren’t modeled well — or, in some cases, at all — in culture.

She said, “Marriage is good, and biblical marriage is even better. You learn how to put Jesus in the center, and it’s about serving each other. I think, a lot of times, in this culture, we’re taught to be selfish, and that shows up in relationships. But when you learn to serve the person you love, it builds more intimacy, and you can have a beautiful, peaceful marriage, even with bumps along the way, and have a really fulfilling life with a partner to go on the journey with.”
