I Still Believe Movie Review

It isn’t often that Gabriel and I are able to schedule a date night out, so when we were recently invited to pre-screen the faith based movie I Still Believe, from the comfort of our own home, we couldn’t say no! That evening he put all 3 kids to sleep early, while I prepped a delicious platter of snacks and some tea. We really didn’t know what to expect, except that it was going to be a love story (from watching the trailer), and we just assumed there would be some tears because, well, hello…don’t all love stories have some of those? Hahaha. Anyways, check out the official movie description below:

One love can change your life. One life can change the world. From the creators of I Can Only Imagine comes an inspiring love story for the ages. Rediscover the wonder of love in I STILL BELIEVE, based on the real-life story of chart-topping singer Jeremy Camp.

I really enjoyed watching I Still Believe because it’s actually based on a true story! Before watching this movie, I actually had no idea who Jeremy Camp was, and now I can say that I’m currently obsessed with his chart topping faith based songs. I also LOVE a good love story, and this one is really special because we weren’t only shown ONE love story, but TWO. Yeah, you read that right; while observing Jeremy and Melissa’s love for each other, we also witness GOD’s love. I Still Believe reminds us:

That it’s okay and perfectly normal to ask “WHY.”
That there are times when our faith and love will be tested (with others and with Him),
And that in the midst of it all, God is still good.
It shows us that God has a perfect purpose and plan for every single person, even when we can’t see it in the moment.

I think His timing is perfect, I’m so thankful that I got to watch this movie; especially during this special season of Lent. I Still Believe totally made me cry on more than one occasion; so I’d recommend having some tissues handy.
