Whether you\u2019re in the mood for\u00a0something uplifting, a\u00a0comedy\u00a0that will leave you in stitches, or a\u00a0kid-friendly movie\u00a0the whole\u00a0family\u00a0can enjoy together, Netflix has it. Sometimes, the best family-friendly movies have more significant meanings and themes about\u00a0life\u00a0and faith that we can all learn from. There are plenty of\u00a0Christian\u00a0films on Netflix\u00a0to choose from if that\u2019s what you want to watch.<\/p>\n<p>How do we keep going when times are difficult? We could all use a reminder that there is a plan for us, and movies are one of the most meaningful ways to take in lessons on life, love, faith, and strength of character. Here are some Christian films that you can watch on Netflix.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cA Week Away\u201d (2021).<\/h2>\n<p>A musical,\u00a0\u201cA Week Away,\u201d\u00a0is Netflix\u2019s latest faith movie release starring\u00a0Kevin Quinn\u00a0and\u00a0Bailee Madison. Troubled teenager Will Hawkins (Quinn) has two choices after a run-in with the law: go to juvie or choose Christian summer camp. With the latter looking more appealing, Will begrudgingly attends camp, where he finds a surprising connection in the last place he expected to open his heart to love.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cBethany Hamilton: Unstoppable\u201d (2019).<\/h2>\n<p>Since Netflix pulled\u00a0\u201cSoul Surfer,\u201d the dramatic Christian movie based on the inspiring true story of\u00a0Bethany Hamilton, it\u2019s since replaced the film with Hamilton\u2019s 2019 documentary.\u00a0\u201cBethany Hamilton: Unstoppable\u201d\u00a0is about the young surfer\u2019s life after the shark attack that seemingly defined her. Spoiler alert: It didn\u2019t. As much as faith and\u00a0prayer\u00a0were a thematic element in\u00a0\u201cSoul Surfer,\u201d\u00a0\u201cUnstoppable\u201d is Hamilton\u2019s story of a longing for a happy, healthy marriage, becoming a mother, and her strength and courage both on and off the surf.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cBlue Miracle\u201d (2021).<\/h2>\n<p>Starring\u00a0Jimmy Gonzales,\u00a0Dennis Quaid, and\u00a0Anthony Gonzalez,\u00a0\u201cBlue Miracle\u201d\u00a0is the true story about a guardian and his kids finding an unlikely partnership with a boat captain to win a fishing competition and save their boys-only orphanage in Mexico. Maybe you can find faith even out on the water.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cCome Sunday\u201d (2018).<\/h2>\n<p>Based on real-life, \u201cCome Sunday\u201d tells the story of Carlton Pearson, an internationally-renowned pastor who makes headlines when he begins to question church doctrine and, ultimately, his faith.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cGod Calling\u201d (2018).<\/h2>\n<p>Devastation and grief after losing a child lead Sade into a suicidal\u00a0depression. But somehow, somewhere in her suffering, she finds her way back to her faith, proving not all hope is lost.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cThe Young Messiah\u201d (2016).<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe Young Messiah,\u201d\u00a0tells the story of God\u2019s Son, Jesus Christ. When he was seven years old, Jesus and his family left Egypt to return to Nazareth. A beautiful movie that tells the story from Jesus\u2019 young perspective as he grows and evolves into the spiritual icon we know of and praise today. This film is a meaningful educational tool for families and children to learn of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Movies can be a great way to learn and reinforce life lessons. The best part about these movies is that they\u2019re great for the whole family to watch. Having a list of Christian movies to watch is also great if you\u2019re looking to delve deeper into your faith or are looking for ways to explore specific topics that the Bible discusses. From word-for-word Bible adaptations that teach you about the life of Jesus to based on a true story inspirational films, there is truly no shortage of suitable lessons and faith-growing moments found in this lineup of must-see movies. So pop your popcorn and snuggle up on the sofa for a good movie night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beauty of\u00a0Netflix\u00a0is that no matter what kind of film you\u2019re looking for, the\u00a0streaming service\u00a0has a massive variety in each different genre for you to choose from.
