After viewing a pre-release screening of HIS ONLY SON, I’m honored to share this film with you that will be in theatres this Friday, 3/31!
His Faith Was Tested. Our Hope Was Born.
His Only Son recounts one of the most controversial moments in the Old Testament—when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on the mountain of Moriah. While traveling to the place of the sacrifice, alongside Isaac and two servants, Abraham is flooded with vivid memories from the years he and Sarah spent longing for the son they were promised—the son he must now lay upon the altar.

My Thoughts
What is a lesson you have learned from being patient with the Lord? How has your faith been tested? This incredible movie will have you thinking of times when you wanted to give up on the promises of God. It will have you tearing up as you remember how the sacrifice of Abraham and Isaac parallels the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. This movie is a good reminder of how God is always faithful, and will grow your faith!
FUN FACT – Did you know that the location where Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac, on Mount Moriah, is also believed to be where the Temple in Jerusalem was built and Christ was later crucified?
His Only Son is the first movie ever to crowdfund its theatrical release. The film partnered with Angel Studios—the studio that made The Chosen drama series—in 2022 to crowdfund over $1,235,000 for its March 2023 theatrical release.
An independent film made on a shoestring budget of less than $250,000 was initially set to premiere in around 600 theaters. But thanks to a crowdfund that raised over $1,235,000 in under a week and overwhelmingly positive reviews from audience members, it’s now showing in 1,200 theaters and counting.
What better way to spend this Easter weekend than checking out this new faith-based film with family and friends!? You don’t want to miss this unique theatrical experience. It will leave a profound spiritual impact on you and be one of a generation’s most impactful Easter films!
I really love the movie I can only Imagine.
