Courageous Living: daring fathers to make a stand

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 the movie 'Fireproof', the new police action drama 'Courageous' concentrates on fatherhood and the vital role of men with courage in Christ. 'Courageous Living' gives you a resource to take the movie as an engaging focus to explore the role of fatherhood in family, church and community.

Faith and fatherhood in action

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.

But the need to serve and protect is 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.

Film's message for real families
