The World Trade Center tridents salvaged from the exterior of the Twin Towers are now located inside the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. As we join with millions around the world in remembering the lives lost and families impacted by the attacks on 9/11, this day hits home on a deep level. It also has an important connection to For A Purpose. I lived in New York at the time. As I headed to work, I witnessed from a sidewalk, just one mile north on the same island of M

We recreated Jared writing Habakkuk 3:17-19 on his mirror, using Jared's own Bible with the help of 12-year-old actor Dylan Womack. What is one to think when a 12-year-old chooses Habakkuk 3:17-19 as their life verse? Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be one vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my sa

We are excited to announce the release of a new trailer! In the final scene, Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries says, "God is telling a story, in and through all of history...and that is the story that I am in." Imagine living with that perspective and understanding. Trusting in God's bigger plan and purpose even when the road ahead is unclear. In our film, Steve Saint shares a story of five missionaries who gave their lives trying to reach a remote tribe with the Gospel. Na

We Welcome Nate Sala as a cast member of the documentary For A Purpose

For me, Thanksgiving Day used to be about family, food, and football. However, that’s not what it means to me anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love the time with my family, the food, and football. However, the day is more about the beginning of a season when I reflect on all that God has done—what He’s brought me through and where He’s leading me. Personally, my hearing is still a struggle with one ear that remains unstable, but I'm able to communicate better in many situations

We’re excited to share that we have reached a major milestone in the journey of For A Purpose: Hope In A Broken World. The narrative of our film is now largely complete! We have exciting new cast additions which we will share in coming weeks. While we may still add a few interviews, our focus has shifted to what makes cinema come alive—the visual storytelling that transforms words into a powerful narrative and a moving experience. What separates a cinematic film from a podcas

Jared Frame The story of Jared Frame and his family is one of the stories shared in For A Purpose: Hope in a Broken World. The Frames have walked a road that none of us would ever want to venture down. Darren and Becky lost their son and Andrew lost his brother and his best friend. In our interviews with them they share their hearts, their struggles and their walks with the Lord. All in the hope of helping others and bringing glory to Christ. Jared lived his life with purpose

I'd like to introduce you to J.D. Hill, one of our cast members in For A Purpose: Hope in a Broken World. It's been such a pleasure to get to know J.D. You can't talk to him without being encouraged.
