5 Top Faith Based Movies to Watch with Your Family This Weekend

One of the best ways to spend some quality family time is to curl up with a couple soft blankets and a big bowl of popcorn. But picking a film that everyone will enjoy is difficult (cue the sibling bickering).
Finding a movie free of violence, foul language, and sex can also be challenging.
After all, our goal is to increase their confidence in God while also showing Him respect. What then should a parent do after everyone has had their fill of Netflix’s extensive selection of “clean” movies and has already binge-watched the majority of them due to the pandemic?

Here is a list of Faith Based Movies that are either based on real Bible stories or have religious overtones. Everyone will find something on this list.

Having a physical “go to” list on hand will spare you from groans, complains, and fast-forwarding. A useful family watch list will also save you time and energy.
Whether you want to go deeper into your religion or examine real-life difficulties, this selection includes inspirational films like “I Still Believe,” “God’s Not Dead,” and “Greater.” It also contains Bible adaptations by word or phrase, such as “The Gospel of Luke.”
So, prepare your popcorn and sink in for a good snuggling while watching movies that will inspire and boost your heart. Turn out the lights and enjoy!
