Father of Lights Review & Giveaway

I am not one to usually sit down and watch documentaries. 

I did sit down and watch Father of Lights, the third and final film in the Finger of God/Furious Love Trilogy, My conclusion is this, if you ever watch one documentary in your life, and not just because it is a Christian one, this is the one to watch. If you have ever wanted to get a glimpse of what actually happens when the darkness fades and the lights are turned on for people around the world when God's love is revealed this is it.

 Here are a  few things that really stand out to me in this film:

1. God is the Father, not the Godfather.

2. Our God is a god of love, not punishment.

3. God's love is about relationships, not religion.

The encounters throughout this film really made me think. It includes witch doctors, violent gang members, Hindu holy men, and everyday people who give up everything for the calling of Christ's work. It made me think more about my love for everyone doing God's work in different ways, whether it be radically holding a sign and using a bullhorn to people on a street corner to the gang leader who gave his life to Christ who has his car speakers blowing a Christian beat, but still wears his Corona hat in his hood. We have to find our niche to witness and to love on people the way Christ loves on us.

Our God truly is far better than anyone can imagine.

I am very happy to announce that one of my readers is going to be blessed with their very own copy of this documentary to add to their video collection or pass on after they have viewed.

All you have to do is answer one mandatory question on the easy Rafflecopter entry form. Additional entries can be earned.

About Father of Lights
FATHER OF LIGHTS chronicles the journey of filmmaker Darren Wilson and his team as they fearlessly travel the globe, far from the daily existence of the typical evangelical believer in the West. By thoughtfully documenting the stories of extraordinary believers and candidly filming miracles, visions and other supernatural occurrences, Wilson engages viewers in modern day examples of the true nature and character of God.

Wilson gives honest access to his own spiritual questions as he tackles the religious misconceptions he has struggled with throughout his life. “I went into making this film by asking the simple question: who is God? I wanted to know His character, His personality, and who He truly is. To answer this question, we had to peel back the many layers of religious garbage that has been passed onto him through generations. That He is angry. Vengeful. Wrathful. And in general, that He doesn’t like you very much. The truth, as you will see vibrantly in this film, is that He is the most loving, compassionate, and wonderful Father you can imagine.”

'Hear Me' by Kyle Sherman, releases 10/9- Review & #Giveaway

I am a testament to the crazy of God's work. I have told only a handful of how God closed a window in my family's life and opened a great door of service into HIS. The night before I ended my part time job this past August, I was getting my hair cut. I made a comment to my friend/hairdresser that I didn't feel led to serve/teach kids at my church because I was with children at my job. The next afternoon, God closed the window of my part time job. That evening, another friend from church called me asking if my husband and I would serve as small group leaders in the kindergarten area the following Sunday, which began the new church year.

Happy church year to us. 

I became a Kindergarten Small Group Leader and my husband became a Synergy Back Door Security Guard!

I don't know what God's plan is for my family, it's all in His time. All I know is that I must obey and continue to follow his path. The story behind the album that I am reviewing is much like my own, it's so easy to do my own thing, but obviously in the situation above, God has a bigger plan.

The title track Hear Me, has to be my favorite, you can listen to it here. This album releases next Tuesday, October 9th. One of my readers is going to be blessed with their very own copy!

Easy entry on the Rafflecopter form.

Album Bio
"Fort Worth-based singer-songwriter Kyle Sherman recently signed on as the flagship artist to brand new label RayLynn Records, an opportunity that presented itself during a time period when a record deal wasn't even on his radar.

"It's crazy how God works," Kyle says. 'Five years ago, I pushed pretty hard to do my own thing as a singer-songwriter, but every well I approached would dry up. It clearly wasn't the right time." So Kyle continued on a path of leading worship, taking a full-time role as worship leader at Lifechurch.TV's Fort Worth campus under the leadership of renowned pastor/author Craig Groeschel.

Just 3-years later Kyle made it back to Nashville, pouring his heart into a microphone at Sony studio with veteran producer and country singer-songwriter Mark Collie making his first album. God is faithful. 'Hear Me', the result of those sessions, is an eclectic and authentic mix of rootsy, southern soul."
