This movie had me in tears and I have a lost 22 yr old who I am praying for. Lord I want this for my son. To see him seek You, honor You, serve You…love You. Know You. Pray for our lost sons. My son’s name is Elijah. Pray for the godly men to step up and be a mentor.

It is absolutely an anointed film. It's no way to watch it without it touching your heart and soul. "Let your life be a fountain, not a drain."

[carolyngionfriddo]

Saw the movie today. Ugly cried so many times watching the young man’s journey, and his mothers heart, and all the prayer warriors, and the many strong men that came around and taught, and lifted up this young man. The church is in desperate need of strong, faithful men to be role models for the younger generations.

Wow!! We thank you!! Even though I was a part of The Forge...the Holy Spirit convicted me on discipleship! Whew!! So thankful to finally be in Kendrick Brothers movie! Let Jesus be glorified! AKA Darren🎬📽🗡📖🔥

I went to see this last night with friends and man, what a powerful movie!!! We laughed and cried throughout it. I lost my husband to cancer 5 years ago and I have an 18 year old son who’s doing relatively good. He’s in college, but I can see the distraction from the girls coming his way. He needs guidance and mentorship in his life. I am praying God sends someone in his life that can mentor and disciple him! 🙏🏽

In college, I was disciples by someone named Rhea. I am so thankful for her kindness, prayers, and generosity when I went through a difficult time. I pray for many blessings her way.

[rogermiller]

What a great movie! And the actor who played Isaiah was amazing.

I know what you mean Allen. I was so lost after I went to college. My life became full of personal pleasure and my emptiness so evident once I returned home after graduation. I had no direction, but chasing women and getting up to go to my job the next morning.

It wasn’t until the summer of 2020 when the George Floyd protests and the Covid shutdown happened. I was walking through Walmart when a guy working in the electronics department struck up a conversation with me. He was a believer in Christ. He told me the reason all of this chaos is happening in our country is because we need to return to God.

To this day I remember that conversation. I walked away from that part of the store, never thinking the same. I was unsettled because the state of my soul was bad. I truly believe God used him. It was a simple conversation with a wayward young man, planting a seed which eventually led me to your channel and my salvation later that summer.

You know sometimes it may not be you specifically as the one who disciples that young person. Maybe all you need in that moment is to obey God and strike up a conversation. You never know, as that moment may be what is needed to break the ice for the right mentor figure to step into their life.

I had the opportunity to see The Forge tonight with my teenage son and it was something we both needed. It opened up opportunities for healing, forgiveness, growth, and discipleship. We were so blessed by it!

I’m praying that God continues to draw my son in and that God will send men that have surrendered to Him to disciple my son.

I watched it on Friday at 10 pm and i was the only one in the cinema 🇨🇦. I went through all emotions. I pray more people watch coz opening week is extremely important for the trajectory of future Christian movies

[maryshaird]

I want this for my 21 year old grandson. Sometimes young people will hear from Christians outside their own family. I believe God; Josiah’s man of God is on the way!

[Tawilliams]

My husband cried about 45 times in the movie. It was great!

[rocksumner]

My wife and I have supported Christian movies for years and enjoy the storylines that make them so good. We have our tickets for tomorrow afternoon. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Brother, I am thankful to have taken your advice. I didn't think that a movie could have such an impact on me at my age of 47 years old. Towards the end of the film, I was sitting there thinking that I may need to make some serious major decisions in my life moving forward for Christ. Thanks, brother.

I watched The Forge last week. It was definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Cried through it all. Loved every minute of it. The young man was fantastic. Also Patricia Shirer and all of the actors were just outstanding.

[karenhovey]

My sister and I saw this movie. Probably the best movie I've ever seen in a theater. Absolutely amazing to watch how God worked through the young man's life through the older man and The Forge.

[VSFilly]

I'm a 60 y.o. Grandma and see myself in this young man in 'The Forge'.
Saying that, a Dad spoke into my life when I was a senior in HS telling me ' you need to be a nurse!'
That was not my Dad: he was my best friend's Dad.
Today, I love Jesus, volunteer with my husband in addiction recovery, and thanks to Jesus I've been a nurse 34 yrs.
I spent many yrs working in Corrections with hardened criminals: I loved this job. Ty Jesus for those yrs.

[joyricherson]

Wow I'm just going to take this moment with tears in my eyes to say thank you for Miss Minnie! She took me under her wing when I was a 14, broken, depressed, and suicidal. I am so blessed that God brought her into my life! My heart is still hurting that she is not on this Earth anymore, but I rejoice that we shall meet again!

[ruthannegray]

I heard about this movie from a good friend of mine, and went to see it a few days later on September 5th. Wow! Wonderful, deeply moving, well written, Incredibly well acted movie! I told a few folks about it and encouraged them to go see it, especially as many movie houses are not playing this movie for long. This movie has made me think about how I impact, support, and show love to others. As far as DWJD, I want to make sure that I follow His path! I will get the DVD when it comes out. Thank you Brother Parr for your endorsement of this anointed movie and for your ministry!

[HaLo_Zz]

I watched it tonight and we clapped and heard some 😢 while the movie was playing. I’m excited to read my Bible tonight. Thank you, Pastor for this video.
