THE HEART OF THE MOVIE

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

THE FORGE is a powerful illustration and reminder that discipleship matters. Watch “The Heart of THE FORGE” and read what Priscilla Shirer and the Kendrick Brothers say about discipleship.

“When Jesus says, ‘If you want to be my disciple, deny yourself, take up your cross, follow me.’ Salvation is a gift. Discipleship will cost you. But what can be better than discipleship? To know our Savior more deeply, to know Him more intimately.”
Alex Kendrick, Director / Co-Writer

“In WAR ROOM, we saw a beautiful picture of discipleship and mentoring. Discipleship is one life rubbing up against another life for the purpose of steering that life towards maturity in Christ. We see that modeled so beautifully in the scriptures when Jesus Himself drew people close to Him.”
Priscilla Shirer, “Cynthia” / “Elizabeth”

“I believe the church right now in this generation needs to get back to what Jesus did with his disciples … people want living, day-to-day relationships. Discipleship is really about helping people know God and to have a personal daily walk in a relationship with Him.”
Stephen Kendrick, Producer / Co-Writer

“As we think about discipleship, we are reminded of our former pastor, Michael Catt, who preached the Word of God and taught that "whoever wants the next generation the most will get them". This was part of the DNA of his ministry.”
Alex Kendrick, Stephen Kendrick, and Jim McBride
