Courageous DVD - honour begins at home: encouraging fatherhood in family, church and community

Posted by Les Ellison  ·  Be the first to comment

Courageous is the big screen action movie with a solid faith affirming storyline that recognises the need for strong father figures in family, church community and nation.

 From the makers of Fireproof – the all action drama focused on safeguarding marriage and the family, Courageous concentrates on fatherhood and the vital role of men with courage in Christ.

Courageous is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, filmed on location in Albany, Georgia.

Courageous Police officers Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are called to give their all serving and protecting the community. Risking their lives everyday the cops know there’s a common need in the no-hope gang members who roam the city streets. It’s the need of strong male lead and example – the want of a father.

In their tough day jobs, the officers are confident and focused. They can give their best at work, but at home they’re finding it hard to make the grade. Struggling in the good times, a sudden turn of events leaves the men adrift are left wrestling with their fears and failings.

The need to serve and protect is now much nearer home with a decision they have to make: stay in the comfort zone or show real courage and take up what it means to be father.

Filmed in and around Albany, Georgia, Courageous is the third big screen action movie from independent film producer Sherwood Pictures.

Courageous is the police action follow up to the success of their previous films Flywheel, Facing Giants and the recent big hit Fireproof, all with strong faith based storylines and themes.

Sherwood Pictures is the independent faith inspired film maker based in Sherwood Baptist Church, Georgia. The newly released DVD is backed up with a church campaign DVD kit and the book Courageous Living: Dare to Take a Stand.

What about you?

In less than a generation the church and much of society has moved from almost uniform male leadership to the marginalisation of men in many aspects of life.

•    Do you think there’s no longer a role for men as men in the church; is there no difference in what men might bring to a role compared to women?
•    Do you think families without a father figure fare any better or worse than those with a man present, how can the church encourage men to play an active part in family, church and community life?
