The Fireproof Marriage Movie
|
Welcome to Albany, Georgia—the
home of Sherwood Pictures and the setting for their newest
film, Fireproof!, a marriage 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?
