We could all use a good laugh right now, and Church People is a movie your whole family can LOL to from the comfort of your own home!
CHURCH PEOPLE is a Christian comedy about the megachurch megaproduction sub- culture and getting back to the simplicity of the Gospel, starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Hallmark Channel’s Erin Cahill, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, and NSYNC’s Joey Fatone
This film has a powerful message about rediscovering your passion for Christ and learning to surrender what you hold dearest, all told in an incredibly humorous way.

Synopsis: Weary from the showiness and materialism that has overtaken his ministry efforts, Guy (Ramsey) goes on a journey to get back in touch with the heart of min- istry and be a real role model to his youth group kids. He makes the difficult deci- sion to cut short his speaking tour managed by his money-focused agent (Faison) af- ter realizing that his reputation has become more fame based than Gospel-driven.
But when Guy attempts to return to regular youth ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading the youth group from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service, starring a young, zealous new Believer, Blaise. In attempting to manage his youth group while navigating an unex- pected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter (Cahill) and being a new father to his grown daughter (Manfredi), Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves.
I thought this movie was a humorous reminder, that the gospel is enough. It’s important to remember that when we are sharing the gospel with others, we are to point Jesus Christ, our Savior. Our hope and strength doesn’t come from us, but Him. After watching this movie, I was reminded of Romans 7, and why we need a Savior.
We are saved by grace. No fancy lights or smoke machines needed. Take the Holy Spirits lead, and seeds will grow! 🙂

I thought the ending of the movie was perfect!! I loved the actors in the movie, and the soundtrack was on point!

This looks like a very interesting movie. I think that it will provide much food for thought.
