WoodLawn

Welcome back to my blog!

As I said last week I will be doing Christian movie reviews for the next couple of weeks! There are 

just so many out there that it is hard to pick which ones to do! This week I decided to watch the 

movie "Woodlawn", a football-faith based movie. 

If you are a sports fan, you like inspirational movies, or you just like Christian films, Woodlawn is a 

an excellent choice! Based on a true story, Woodlawn will have you reimagining the possibilities of 

revival in public high schools.

Woodlawn starts with a high school football team in a town that  is experiencing deep segregation.

This segregation within the community is felt no greater than within the football team itself. That is,

however, until an evangelist has the opportunity to speak to the team. Within a couple of hours, the

speaker has the entire team down on the gym floor giving their lives to Christ. Not only does this spur

the team into a winning season, but also has dramatic affects on the surrounding community. People

all around, including a football team from another school start to feel the power of the cross, and join

together to make this power known.

Well guys, there is the short version of this exciting story. To hear the entire tail, you will have to

watch the movie for yourself!

Thanks for reading,

Your brother in Christ,

Kyle

The Case for Christ

Hello world!

It seems like forever since I have posted on this blog! I have to be honest; I've been extremely busy. 

This fall I started my freshman year at Ursinus College. With that has a come a whole world of 

change. From studying for tests, to making sure I spend time getting in God's word, there's seems to

not enough hours in the day! All that being said, I am happy to say that this blog will once again be 

posted weekly. With this new start, I would like to take a new direction, and that would be to review 

faith-based movies, documentaries, and books. The one thing that I do love to do in my free time at

college is to watch Christian movie, so this should be the perfect system! 

Just recently I had the opportunity to watch a plethora of Christian movies and documentaries. I 

really have enjoyed all of them, and would like to share some with all of you! The first one I will

talk about in this post, and continue in the weeks to come. Up first is a documentary called "The Case 

For Christ" by Lee Strobel.

Now, for those of you who do not know this already, a few years ago Lee Strobel wrote a book called

"The Case For Christ". I have not read the book yet, but I was able to see the documentary that they 

produced based off of it. It is truly wonderful documentary that I would recommend for anyone, 

believer or non-believer. 

In this documentary, Lee Strobel talks about is faith journey and how he went from being a devoted 

atheist to a Christian passionate about his beliefs. What is interesting about his faith story is that he 

was not a person who was easily swayed to a certain idea. For years Lee was very skeptical about

the bible, and about Jesus being the son of God. In this documentary you will see how Strobel is able 

use the evidence surrounding Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection as grounds for making an 

informed belief about who Jesus really is. 

This is definitely a documentary that you will want to see! You can find it on amazon.com for a very 

cheap price!

Until next time,

Kyle
