Facing the Giants
Today I went to the GIGA youth meeting at Auntie Charlene's house. Btw, GIGA stands for God Is Good Always. We watched a movie called <Facing the Giants> and it took about 1 and a half hour. Facing the Giants is about a Christian high school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure. In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage. What transpires is a dynamic story of the fight between faith and fear. Facing the Giants is a powerful experience for the whole family inspiring viewers to live with faith, hope, and love!
Here are some of the quotes.
Grant Taylor: I want God to bless this team so much people will talk about what He did. But it means we gotta give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him. And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way we honor Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm asking you... What are you living for? I resolve to give God everything I've got, then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me.
Grant Taylor: You can't judge your father by his actions and yourself by your intentions. It just doesn't work that way. The last and the most important message of all >>With God, nothing is impossible.
Though the movie faces many disapproval due to its christian content, to me it is a very good movie and highly encouraging.
