A Forja: O Poder da Transformação

This quote from the movie will make sense if you see it. The definition of a forge is "to make or shape (a metal object) by heating it in a fire or furnace and beating or hammering it." Through the process you can create something useful out of something less useful. You can sharpen it to make a fine blade for a weapon or a tool. In Ephesians ch. 6 it talks about the "sword of the Spirit being the word of God". These themes are referenced in this wonderful movie. This movie is uplifting, encouraging, inspirational, and filled with heart. It tells the story of redemption for a young man who is living life by his own terms without much care or concern for others. However, he is challenged to rethink his choices and realizes life is richer when you live it in community with others, and that there is a heavenly Father who is waiting for him (us) to reach out and be in relationship with him. As he learns these truths and starts living life to the fullest he is encouraged to not keep these truths to himself and to go and disciple others. The principle actors played by Priscilla Shirer, Cameron Arnett, and Aspen Kennedy all do a superb job; as does the rest of the cast. There are a couple of characters from a previous Kendrick brothers movie "War Room" who reprise their roles in this film. Though the movie isn't a sequel to War Room, it was fun seeing a few characters crossover, especially the powerful prayer warrior Miss Clara Williams. I recommend this movie to anyone, especially if you have liked other Kendrick brother movies. Their first movie was in 2003. Over the last 20 years they have aged like a fine wine and each film has gotten better and better. Note: you might need a few tissues just in case, my eyes might have watered a little bit :)
