If you loved the 2015 film ‘War Room,’ then you won’t want to miss the latest movie from the Kendrick Brothers, ‘The Forge.’

This new film takes place in “the same cinematic world” as ‘War Room’ and promises to bring “familiar friends and inspiring new twists.” It explores the impact of our daily choices, both big and small.

In ‘The Forge,’ the main character, a young man named Isaiah, isn’t making the best choices. Having recently graduated from high school, he has no interest in planning for his future. And it’s clear to everyone but Isaiah that he is on a destructive path.

However, Isaiah is challenged by his single mother (Priscilla Shirer from ‘War Room’) and a successful local businessman (Cameron Arnett from ‘Overcomer’) who has taken an interest in him. They see the direction Isaiah is heading. And they are willing to invest the time and care necessary in order to change it. 

Gradually, through the prayer and mentorship poured over Isaiah, the young man begins to discover God’s purpose for his life which goes far beyond basketball and video games. But ‘The Forge’ movie isn’t just about changing Isaiah’s course.

“We made this film to inspire, challenge and motivate viewers to follow Jesus wholeheartedly,” Alex Kendrick explained. “Our hope is that audiences around the world will recognize the pivotal role that Godly mentorship plays in shaping the next generation.”

Forsaking the world’s standards to find our true identity in Christ is something every one of us faces. And in ‘The Forge’ movie, Miss Clara (a recurring character from ‘War Room’) sums it up perfectly:

“No, you devote your heart to following the Lord no matter what the cost!”

This inspirational, faith-based film is a must-see and is set to land in theaters on August 23, 2024.
