Do you love movies? Ever wondered why? Is it the popcorn, or something more? We believe that movies can not only inspire, but also share the spiritual truths of the world. Join us as we explore exciting stories in film through the lens of the Christian story. Welcome to Directed by God.
"You did bring me news of my father. Not of where he is, but who he is. And more than ever I hope to meet him."
