3. Connect
Estimated Release Date: Limited Releases on February 27 & March 1st
Brought to you by Kirk Cameron, Connect hopes to enrich families by encouraging parents in today’s social media driven environment. With most children and teens now owning their own smartphones, Cameron looks to explore ways parents can help their kids unplug and make real connections in the world around them. Featuring interviews from a variety of figures, Connect is a special two-night event all Christians can learn from.
4. A Wrinkle in Time
Estimated Release Date: March 9
Madeleine L'Engle’s spiritual beliefs may have been unorthodox but they still played a major role in all her writing. Now, her beloved novel is about to get a feature film, and expectations couldn’t be higher. Set in modern America, A Wrinkle in Time follows a young girl named Meg Murry whose father has mysteriously disappeared. When Meg is approached by three spiritual beings named Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, she discovers her father is being held captive on a dark world, and only his children have the power to save him. A Wrinkle in Time is often said to carry the same weight as novels written by Lewis or Tolkien. We can only hope the movie does the same.
5. I Can Only Imagine
Estimated Release Date: March 16
Most Christians know this inspiring song by MercyMe, but how many have heard the incredible true story behind it? Based on the life of vocalist Bart Millard, I Can Only Imagine chronicles Bart’s spiritual journey through an abusive childhood to a place of forgiveness. What begins on a decrepit old tour bus soon erupts into a staggering moment of God’s glory. This film looks to bring the ultimate hope to viewers by reminding them there is no pain heaven cannot heal.
