Courageous

Last night, the movie "Courageous" was shown in the Life Group I attend each week. Everything good that I had heard about the movie was true. Sometimes movies have situations that work out unrealistically so there can be a happy ending. "Courageous", had a happy ending, but the characters experienced painful events. Some left scars that will diminish over time, but will always be a mark on their lives.

The main theme is a father realizing that he was not leading his family well, especially his children. He is a Christian man who employs the help of his pastor, co-workers, friend, and his family to know how to do more than just get by parent. The men making up the core of his friendships make a commitment to courageously be the father and husband God has called them to be.

Main take-aways from the movie:
*Trust God for everything.
*Do the right thing every time.
*Enlist the support of friends.
*Know that God loves those who love Him.

If you have not seen the movie, "Courageous", I highly recommend watching it with family or friends. If you have watched the movie, ask yourself how you are living intentionally as a follower of Jesus.
