    From God!!!

    Brought me to tears- truly from the Lord, our Redeemer, full of mercy, full of grace!! Glory to God- rain down and save our country- send your Dream!!

    I'm a product of TV and have seen every thing it had to offer- but like AI, it was used to bring me to see God's mercy- I remember Oral Roberts, Billy Graham, Jimmie Swaggert, now the Chosen, Alan Jackson- now this story- I'm a northerner, but have seen the south and it's got the Lord, because we need Him to save us from ourselves- Holy God, bring more stories like this to show Your Love to Every heart- thank you Jesus for Dying for us, wretched sinners, now yours forever!

    Powerful and inspiring

    Southern Gospel, directed by Jeffrey A. Smith, is a powerful and inspiring film. The film takes viewers on a journey through the lives of Samuel and Julie, each with their own struggles and challenges, who fight to hold onto a dream.

    The film's exceptional cinematography transports viewers to the heart of the South, and the music in the film brings to mind the rich musical traditions of churches in the South. The performances of the cast are equally impressive, bringing the music to life with stunning vocals and heartfelt emotion.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of Southern Gospel is its ability to convey a message of hope and perseverance, even in the face of life's toughest challenges.

    Overall, Southern Gospel is a must-see film that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. With its stunning visuals, exceptional performances, and powerful message, it is a testament to the power of film to encourage and uplift the soul.

    Hopeful, yet honest story about church in the south

    You'll walk away from this film feeling hopeful. There are some really great performances and the music is so well done. I can't wait to listen to the soundtrack. The writer/director did not shy away from tough subject matter either.

    It's so refreshing to see a Christian film deal with things like addiction, suicide, abuse, and even hypocrisy in the Church. We live in an imperfect world, but there is hope.

    If you grew up in southern church culture, this film is for you. If you've walked away from church, this film is for you.

    Faith-based entertainment is having a new moment in culture and this one is a great example of a thoughtful, real to life, gritty, TRUE story of redemption.

    Salvation is by grace through faith

    It starts out with "works salvation". This is false doctrine this is false Gospel. No one except Jesus can ever be good enough for heaven. We are all born sinners. It doesn't matter how you dress or never cuss in your life if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior you will never be godly enough to God to heaven bc you denied Jesus! Never ever! Jesus loves you and wants you to believe in Him. He will cleanse your sins. You don't have to be good for him. Come to Him as you are, Christ will help you love for him Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Now Sam does eventually mention grace. So that is good. Don't want to spoil the movie though.

    Inspiring and Great Music!

    Loved this film! Based on true events, this film is inspiring and touches the heart. Love the music and the actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters. Very believable and well written. We need more films like this one. If you feel like you have a dream but obstacles are many, watch this film and let it ignite a fire in you to never give up on that dream. It's a story of redemption and hope. I highly recommend you see this film and then share your experience with others. It will be money well spent and I promise you, you will leave the theater with new intention to keep pressing forward towards your dream.
