GET TICKETS TO THE FORGE
I had the incredible honor of hosting the Kendrick Brothers, the creative minds behind the number one box office hit, War Room, and other impactful films like Overcomer, Courageous, and Fireproof.
We discussed their latest project, The Forge, which is set to release in theaters on August 23rd. This new film focuses on discipleship and takes place in the same universe as War Room.
The Kendrick Brothers shared the inspiration behind The Forge, emphasizing the importance of men stepping up in their faith and mentoring the next generation. They highlighted how the film portrays a Christian businessman investing in the life of a 19-year-old, guiding him through the journey of discipleship with relatable challenges and triumphs.
We also chatted the differences between War Room, which centered on women and strategic prayer, and The Forge, which focuses on male discipleship. The brothers explained their creative process, which involves a lot of prayer and seeking God's guidance to ensure their films are both entertaining and spiritually enriching.
A special highlight was discussing Priscilla Shirer's role in The Forge. Known for her impactful performance in War Room, Priscilla returns to play dual roles as twin sisters, adding depth and humor to the film.
The Kendrick Brothers also mentioned the various resources they've developed to accompany the movie, including books and curriculums aimed at fostering discipleship.
We wrapped up the episode by emphasizing the power of prayer and the potential for The Forge to inspire real-life change.
The Kendrick Brothers urged listeners to pray for the film's impact and to use it as a tool for ministry and discipleship in their communities.
