Trusting God as a Family Through Adversity - Joel & Luke Smallbone and Rebecca St. James

Their family journey was difficult, but they were never without hope. Music artists Rebecca St. James, and Joel and Luke Smallbone from the band, For King & Country, share how God provided for them in their time of need through family prayer and the support of other believers. It’s an inspiring story of faith, pointing to their new movie, Unsung Hero, releasing in theatres on April 26.

I love that Joel acknowledged that the film is not only their mom’s story but also very much Rebecca’s story. They’re both wonderful women and their legacy carries on.

I first saw Rebecca as a young teen probably about 14-15 yrs. old (?) surrounded by local people in a small Christian bookstore . People were pressed close around her yet she sang her songs and we all knew God had a special plan for her in worship ministry . She was delightful and brave!

This movie spoke volumes to me. It was so powerful, I was empowered to go home and love my family through the Love of my Lord.

[@user-hz8yd2kb2h]

Modeling FORGIVENESS is so so important for a parent or anyone...

[@colettewomack4962]

I just saw Unsung Hero this morning with my Mom. It was such an amazing, emotional movie and we both loved seeing it.

[@pamgessler5923]

It's so cool how the family's trials taught the children to be prayer warriors.

[@joyshokes6182]

My mom modeled forgiveness. In fact observing the leading emotion , devastating grief and loss due to unfaithfulness , I saw love and forgiveness.

[@kayweber8570]

Taking my son to see it on his 26th birthday on April 26th. We are both so excited to go see the movie together.

[@davinawonderling9361]

[@user-hz8yd2kb2h]

Music can lead toward a faith.... church can be important for a true faith but following Christ in His ways IS THE POINT TO BE SAVED!! Amen

[@andrewmary-annepridgeon5114]

We watched the movie today in Townsville Queensland Australia. Great film and a must watch. Unfortunately For King and Country tour did not come to Townsville or we would have attended.

Unless issues are brought up for a dig in conversation....especially negative or difficult feelings re anything... here issues can be remedied often thru ForgiveNESS and prayer.

[@d.skeete7525]

Loved it! ❤

[@eve6225]

I am so glad I have your sisters CDs in my collection. Knowing your story I look at them differently now. What an inspiration she has been.

The movie never verifies who paid the medical bill?

[@jophester3970]

Is the movie available in Spanish?

[@focusonthefamily]

Hi, @jophester3970! The movie may be available in Spanish at select theaters. We recommend reaching out to local theaters in your area to see if this may be something they offer. -Luna H.
