Ashley Bratcher became a household name when she played a former Planned Parenthood executive turned pro-life advocate in the Pure Flix film \u201cUnplanned.\u201d Since that role, she\u2019s carved a niche as an entertainer who sees acting as activism.<\/p>\n

Now, Bratcher is working on \u201cFinding Faith,\u201d her seventh project with Pure Flix<\/a>. The movie, set to debut in November, also stars John Schneider and Vivica A. Fox. The story focuses on Victoria, played by Bratcher, a Christian advice columnist whose personal life has turned upside down after her mother\u2019s death. This trauma throws her faith into a tailspin.<\/p>\n

Bratcher\u2019s character is also facing challenges in her failing marriage, a harsh reality the Christian actor said isn\u2019t played well in many movies today. She told CBN\u2019s Faithwire, \u201cI think this is a movie a lot of people are going to be able to relate to because, sometimes, I think, people expect \u2014 as a Christian \u2014 to have their life together and everything be perfect and that\u2019s not the case. As Christians, we face a lot of trials in our lives, and it\u2019s nice to see someone struggle and rediscover her faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
