Courageous
So this week Matt asked me to pick up a movie that he had reserved at Redbox. The machine was having issues and would not release the movie Matt had reserved online, instead it spit out this movie Courageous…. I had never heard of the movie before. Feeling a little frustrated that I just paid for a movie I didn’t really want, I gave up and came home. Well later that night we got the kids in bed and got ready to have “Date night at home”, snuggled up on the couch and decided to watch this movie since we paid for it.
I have said this before, but I am not really a huge fan of most movies or tv for that matter. Maybe it is my conservative nature but most the time when I watch a movie I say ” it was ok but I would not recommend it”. I feel frustrated by the lack of values and morals most forms of entertainment have.
We started the movie and soon realized it was a christian based film, hmmm maybe my Redbox mix up wasn’t so bad after all. Sure this film was a bit cheesy at some moments, but it also had us rolling with laughter, wiping our eyes with heartfelt moments and holding our breath. I enjoyed every minute of it, it made me think about the choices I am making in my own life… and left me wanting to strengthen my family and be a better mom. After watching this film Matt and I has some really good conversation and where our priorities are, and ways be can make sure we are putting our family first.
So rarely do I recommend a movie but I would encourage you to find time to watch this inspiration film, You can get it a Redbox for only $1 rental and maybe even have it part of your home movie collection amazon has Courageous

We watched it last night. It was kinda cheesy at first and my husband was like really you picked this movie. But by the end of the movie my husband turned to me and said that was actually a good movie. It also made us think of what can happen in just a split second with family and to cherish every minute we have with our 2 kids.
I appreciate your honest comments about movies/tv. I feel similarly. I will take your recommendation.
Thanks.
It must have been the night to watch “Couragous.” It came from Netflix Thursday, but we had waited until last night to watch it. My daughter had picked it out because she saw the previews on “Soul Surfer”, another Christian based film. My husband is a police officer and she really wanted to watch a film that related to Daddy’s work. There aren’t very many “cop” movies out there I would let my teen watch, but this is one of them. Great movie, yes, a little cheesy, but so very funny and a great spiritual message!
I have not seen Courageous yet. I am waiting until I can watch with my two sons and my daughter in law and granddaughter. We were going to watch it last week-end but they got sick and so my son and I stayed home. My other son and his family are feeling better now so we plan on seeing it next week-end. I also have watched the other movies that were put out by the same people and they are great. I highly suggest that you watch them too. They all have a good positive message. They are in order Flywheel, Facing the giants, and Fireproof.
My husband and I watched it last night. It is was an awesome movie. Another good one is Dolphin Tale.
My husband and I watched it last night also after seeing some of our friends post messages of FB about it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it also. I also put some of the other movies previewed on my to watch list.
Just in case you didn’t know, if you call Redbox and tell them what happened, they’ll give you a code for a free rental.
I’m so glad you and your husband watched this movie. My husband and I saw it in theatre and knew it was going to be part of our movie collection as soon as it came out. I am also not a big TV/movie fan because of all the garbage that comes from it. Thanks for posting a spotlight on this movie.
Ha HA my husband and I watched it last night also. It was a great movie! Like you said a little cheesy at times but with a great message. I also loved the other movies that they have done; Fireproof, Facing the giants and , Flywheel.
