The Fireproof Movie
Welcome to Albany, Georgia—the home of Sherwood Pictures
and the setting for their newest film, Fireproof! a movie,
set for release only in theatres in fall of 2008.
The creative minds that brought you Facing the Giants
and Flywheel are now hard at work filming their most
ambitions movie to date. Telling the story of the failing marriage
of fireman Caleb Holt — played by Kirk
Cameron —and his wife Catherine, Fireproof will bring
an authentic edge to married life and deliver the message of
God's design.
"What's most important to us is that the people involved are
doing it for the right reasons," said Alex Kendrick, media pastor
at the church, according to OneNewsNow. "In other words, one
question that we asked the cast and the crew is, 'Is there anything
in your life that would prevent God from blessing your work
on this movie?'"
Sherwood Church entered the movie making ministry to engage
a culture that Americans are largely being influenced by. While
Alex had expressed a desire to produce Christian movies when
he was hired at Sherwood Baptist in 1999, it was a 2002 Barna
Group survey that prompted the church to launch a movie ministry.
The survey revealed that movies are one of the leading influencers
in American society while churches have lost much of their influence.
Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave
your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural
instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another
story. After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt
have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without
each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings,
Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare.
While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents'
newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt
to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he
be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person
that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another
marriage destined to go up in smoke?
