Summary

When David Smallbone’s successful music company collapsed, he moved his pregnant wife and six children from Australia to Nashville in search of a brighter future. Two of those children were Joel and Luke Smallbone of For King & Country, and their movie, Unsung Hero, documents the true story of the struggles, miracles, and successes their family experienced together. In this podcast, Pastor Allen Jackson meets with Joel and Luke to discuss their family’s story and why they created the movie. “I believe in the power of family,” Luke said. “I think family is more powerful today than it ever has been in the history of the world. But we don't value it maybe as we should. As Mother Teresa said, ‘If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.’ And that's kind of the blueprint—the purpose—behind the film.” Unsung Hero releases in theaters on April 26. Let Hollywood know Christian content matters by taking your family and friends to see the movie on opening weekend.

It is Luke and Joel with Four King and Country.

Many of you know them because of their music. What you may or may not know is they have a new movie releasing April 26th, Unsung

the details to you. It's worth, you want to be there that weekend. It makes a big difference if we

actually show up in the theaters on that weekend that it releases. So make your plans now to be there.

0:37.1

But the story is particularly important to me because they're telling about how God moved in their family and has brought forth these amazing voices in our culture on behalf of our faith. And I've been saying to you for a long time that our faith has to start at our kitchen table. The problems in the White House are nearly as significant as you and me bringing our faith into our house.

0:55.6

And the point of this movie, we did not collaborate, I promise.

0:58.9

I'm not creative enough to collaborate with those guys.

1:01.5

But it is very much driven through that same narrative that it's what starts at our kitchen table and then our holiday table and then with our friends.

1:08.4

That's where our faith is lived out.

1:10.0

That's what will transform our country.

1:12.3

If you saw the recent podcast I did with Dr. George Barna, I mean, he brought that back up again.

1:17.7

It seems like everybody I've talked to lately has a very similar message. We're coming to it from

1:21.7

different places. Maybe it's just the Holy Spirit in his people. But let's start living out our faith

1:27.1

in our homes.

1:28.9

It isn't easy. The movie will remind us of that because it isn't. Being Christ followers

1:33.7

is not pristine and clean and simple because we are broken vessels. But the spirit of God

1:39.4

in us takes us to a better place. I think you'll enjoy these guys. Before we get to them, you can listen
