Movie Review: Facing The Giants

Never Give Up


Never Back Down


Never Lose Faith



Very dear friends of mine, Steve and Catherine Hunter from Weymouth Family Church, blessed me with this DVD “Facing The Giants.” I thought the title rather apt coming from rural Kezi where there are many giants to be faced. Steve said this was a “Molly DVD” and that got my interest and curiosity going as I wanted to see what he meant.


The summary at the back of the DVD is just an appetiser: “In his six years of high school football, coach Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. When faced with seemingly insurmountable professional and personal crisis, the idea of giving up has never come easier. It’s only after an unexpected visitor challenges him to trust in the power of faith that he discovers the strength to persevere.”



God has an amazing way of lifting us up at our lowest points. He seems to send someone along who has just the right words to spur us in our faith. I loved the analogy of the 2 farmers – both waiting for the rain but one goes to his field to prepare while the other doesn’t. God does send the rain...... Coach Grant Taylor prepared his team, honoured God in everything and the “rain” of blessings came. His inner strength and perseverance is awesome and seeing young people give their lives to the Lord is brilliant.



This DVD is a “tear-jerker” or some would say, mildly emotional. My tears were more in awe of the faithful God we serve and how He brings us through those “giant” experiences. The whole family can watch and have a great discussion time after. It comes highly recommended.



Thank you Steve and Catherine. It really is a “Molly DVD.”
