About County Rescue

County Rescue is a new family friendly, light drama centered around a group of EMTs. We all know that being an EMT is a tough job that requires courage, focus, intellect, compassion, strength, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and much more. EMTs often see people at their worst and have to be able to care for others sometimes in very difficult situations.

In County Rescue season one, we follow probationary EMTs who are all vying for one open spot on the squad. As they put their training to the test in the field, they grow and change as both EMTs and people. Young people stepping into a demanding job learn a lot about themselves as they learn to step up and really be responsible not only for themselves but for their co-workers, patients, and the community they serve.

This show is not a medical drama. Very little time is spent on the medical aspect of their jobs. This is a human drama that includes friendships, rivalries, romance, family expectations, and, of course, faith.

Birthright Outlaw takes place in 1890 in the Arizona Territory. The story centers around Jeremiah (Lucas Black) and Martha Jacobs (Sarah Drew) and their teenage daughter, Hope (Olivia Sanabia). They live in Last Chance, Arizona where Jeremiah serves as the small town’s pastor. This tight-knit, respectable family face the unimaginable trial of their daughter being kidnapped.

After the kidnapping, Martha shares some secrets she has been keeping from her husband. These secrets point to the life she lived before she met and married Jeremiah. These revelations cause Jeremiah to question everything he ever believed about their relationship. Nevertheless, they must focus on their daughter. With little help from the local sheriff, Jeremiah and Martha set off to try to find and rescue Hope. As they trek through the desert, more of Martha’s story is revealed.

I will not reveal any spoilers of what happens but I will say that this movie is well written and very well acted. It focuses on themes of redemption, God’s unconditional love, leaving a legacy, and new beginnings. It is a faith filled western that makes you wonder what you would do if you were in Jeremiah’s shoes.

Watch Birthright Outlaw exclusively on Pure Flix starting October 13th!

It is a western so there is a large amount of shooting. People are shot, some die. It is all handled well and I feel this movie is acceptable for anyone over age 12 due to the violence.

“Divine Influencer” is such a timely movie as the world of social media expands at a rapid pace. The
message of this film is a reflection on how easy it is to live for the likes, the shares and the comments
instead of living our lives for God or to serve others.

About Divine Influencer

Olivia, a 29 year old social media influencer, is the social media face of a store. She is all about the likes, shares, and going viral. She accidentally posts a video of her bashing the store owner and a product they carry which causes her to lose her job. She realizes she has no money, no more perks of being an influencer, and no purpose in life. Her parents then throw her another curveball by cutting her off financially (one they should have thrown a few years earlier in my opinion) and Olivia is suddenly, broke and homeless and oh so very lost.

The rest of the film is about Olivia learning who she is and what God created her for. Olivia is not perfect, she makes many mistakes along her way. God’s grace is sufficient and she grows and changes throughout the film.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

We thoroughly enjoyed “Divine Influencer”. The script was well thought out. The acting was top notch. The characters had good chemistry. You could feel the emotions portrayed on the screen.

This isn’t a cheesy Christian movie. Olivia has to work through her issues, they don’t magically disappear. She works hard, initially for the wrong reasons, but it is the first real work she’s ever done. I love a movie when I can watch a character grown, learn, and become more of who God called them to be. That is what “Divine Influencer” is all about. “Divine Influencer” is a movie about humility, the power of prayer and trusting God to show us the direction for our lives.

About Eleanor’s Bench

Eleanor Thomas’s success as a Washington DC juvenile court judge is challenged when her inner-city past comes to court and demands more than judgment, prompting her to return to her impoverished neighborhood of youth. Will her renewed sense of purpose reinvigorate her faith?

Episode 3

I was asked to tell you specifically about episode 3. That is hard if you haven’t seen the first two episodes and I don’t want to share any spoilers. Episode 2 ends on a cliffhanger. How this cliffhanger is resolved will literally change the trajectory of the story. Thankfully the cliffhanger is resolved right at the beginning of episode 3. The theme of this episode is how to live with defeat and failure, something we all have to do in our lives.

Eleanor is working through regret of a promise she made and didn’t keep. As she sees how badly things turned out without her help, Eleanor is feeling like a failure of a friend. She tries to take it upon herself to make everything right again, but that is just not possible, even for a rich judge. As she grapples with her humanness, she goes to God for direction and guidance as she embarks on a life changing plan to do what she feels is right.

The post Watch Eleanor’s Bench on Pure Flix appeared first on The Mom Maven.

I want to start off with a word of caution, unlike most Pure Flix films, I don’t feel God’s Country Song is appropriate for kids under the age of 13. There is significant alcohol use/abuse, and some violence. Use your own discretion.

With that being said, God’s Country Song is a redemption story based on Mark 8:36 “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Noah is a broken man pursuing his dreams at all costs. On a journey of redemption and forgiveness, he rediscovers what truly matters in life: faith and family.

God’s Country Song Cast

• Justin Gaston as Noah Bryan (The Young and the Restless, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, SANTA BOOTCAMP)
• Mariel Hemingway as Sara Bryan (ON SACRED GROUND, GRACE AND GRIT, MANHATTAN)
• John Laughlin as Jeremiah Bryan (THE ROCK, FOOTLOOSE, NCIS)
• Christopher Michael as Larry (7th Heaven, FOOLS RUSH IN, THE CABLE GUY)
• Justene Alpert as Leeann (The Lincoln Lawyer, THE MATCHMAKERS PLAYBOOK)
• JJ Miller as JJ Bryan (Saved by Grace)
• Featuring Coffey Anderson, Colt Young (Country Ever After)

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

This is a very well done movie. While not what I consider to be typical Pure Flix fare, we really enjoyed it. Yes, the subject matter is difficult, a but gritty but it’s an honest look at a life that tries to hide it’s hurts with alcohol. Justin Gaston’s portrayal of Noah Bryan is spot on. He is a singer/songwriter as well as an actor so all the scenes performing his music on stage were authentic and it showed.

This film is about faith, fatherhood, and forgiveness. Noah has always resented his father for not supporting his dreams of fame and fortune. Always feeling that you don’t have the love and support of your family as you chase your dreams is a heavy weight to carry. Of course, there are always two sides to every story and as Noah learns why his father feels this way, thanks to mom sharing dad’s big secret, Noah begins to understand his father’s side.

I hope you’ll watch God’s Country Song when it starts streaming on Pure Flix starting June 16th.

About Sun Moon

Kelsey, MacKenzie Mauzy, is shocked and stuck after being left at the altar – unsure of everything she thought was God’s plan for her life. She abandons her faith and church. She is running from failure, heartbreak and humiliation. In an attempt to understand God’s purpose for her life, she goes to Taiwan to teach English. Will her leap of faith pay off?

Why Taiwan, you may ask? Missionaries to Taiwan were speaking at her church when she went to pick up the remains of her wedding decor and cake. She spoke to the missionary and he offered her a job teaching English at the Taiwan Adventist Academy.

As you can imagine, this huge life change had its share of hurdles, the language barrier being just one of them. The movie follows Kelsey, her students, and another young teacher, Horace, Justin Chien, as they learn and grow together. Sun Moon is a story about all kinds of love and how unexpected relationships can be exactly what we need in order to draw closer to God.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

We enjoyed Sun Moon. It’s a sweet movie that introduces us to some of Taiwanese culture. The majority of the movie takes place at the Taiwan Adventist Academy where the majority of students and teachers speak Mandarin. There are no subtitles so the audience is as baffled as Kelsey is about what is being said.

Thankfully, later in the movie, just before Kelsey is scheduled to return to America after her one semester contract is up, Horace takes her to explore the area and we get to see more of the beauty of the country.

Kelsey isn’t just running away from being left at the alter. She had quit her job, to focus on being a new wife. While all this is happening, her mother is critically ill and she just doesn’t know how to deal with that, so her younger sister spends a lot of her time at mom’s bedside. All of this has led Kelsey to question where God is and what is His plan.

Taking the Message of Sun Moon Farther

On the Pure Flix website there are 3 small group discussion guides with accompanying video clips that you can use after viewing the movie. The themes of the three lessons are:

• God works everything together for our good.
• Learning to trust God.
• Finding your confidence in God.

I recommend you watch Sun Moon on Pure Flix for your next movie night.

About A Thousand Tomorrows

The series is about Cody Gunnar, a nationally-renowned bull rider who is cocky, brash and a legend among his peers. On track to the top, Cody has rejected everything about his past – his famous father, hurting mother and every woman who ever came along. His heart only has room for his younger brother, Carl Joseph. That’s when barrel racer Ali Daniels enters his life. Only God knows how many tomorrows they will have together. Can Cody and Ali make the most of their time in the dangerous and competitive rodeo world?

It’s a show about redemption, forgiveness, devotion and transformation. Cody and Ali find a love so rare and so powerful and they make the most of everyday they have with each other. The acting is very well done. The actors have a great chemistry making their relationships believable.

Episode 6

I was specifically asked to share my thoughts about Episode 6, the final episode of the series. That is difficult to do without giving too much away. I want you to experience this for yourself. First, have tissues ready, I cried a few times.

Cody, Ali, and their families are dealing with a lot of change, especially in episode 5. By episode 6 life is moving on for everyone in different ways. Facing death, even with the hope of Heaven is difficult. Moving on after losing your spouse is incredibly difficult. Holding on to the promises of God and taking one day at a time is the best way to walk through difficult times.  A Thousand Tomorrows is a love story for the ages and shows real sacrifice and loyalty in the face of insurmountable odds.

About Heaven Sent

Elise, a grandmother hurt by her past, and Patrick, a widowed pastor, have closed the door on love. But with faith and a little help from technology, will their live-streamed romance find away?

Elise has made raising her, now 19 year old grandson, her entire life. Derek, her grandson, is more than ready to live his own life but, he is also concerned about leaving his grandmother. He lives a more virtual life online and livestreaming things going on around him, with no thought about other people’s privacy.

Pastor Patrick is being urged by a younger friend, who is having his own marital troubles, to “get back out there” five years after losing his wife.

“Heaven Sent” has many layers – as we see storylines interconnect and overlap to form a beautiful mosaic showing relationships at all different stages: young and new love, established love that’s currently experiencing some conflict and new love that’s blossoming after healing from past experiences.

The amazingly talented Karen Abercrombie co-wrote, executive produced, and stars in “Heaven Sent”. She is known for playing one of my favorite film characters ever, Miss Clara in “War Room”. The cast also includes Jemarcus Kilgore, J Leon Pridgen II, Charlene Tilton, Michael J. Patterson, Elizabeth Byland and Gary Doudran.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts on “Heaven Sent”

We loved this movie. It had great acting, characters wading through difficult emotions and wounds from their past, new love, old friends, as well as family dynamics we can probably all relate with. I’ll admit I had a tough time when Derek started livestreaming his grandmother’s life without her permission, that is just wrong, and I got angry at him.

If you are looking for a well done, faith based RomCom, check out “Heaven Sent” on Pure Flix, you won’t be disappointed.

About Kathie Lee Gifford Presents The Way

Moving stories from the Bible brought to life as you’ve never seen before written by four-time Emmy award-winning TV personality, actress, and best-selling author Kathie Lee Gifford, and hit songwriters Brett James, Louis York, David Pomeranz, and Sal Oliveri. This set of oratorios merges the ancient with the modern – bringing to life biblical stories with contemporary orchestral arrangements, powerful narration, and touching visuals.

Over the course of 4 movements spanning 75 minutes, these pieces revolve around Kathie Lee as our narrator, a symphony orchestra, and a cast of musical stars singing tailor-made roles such as Nicole C. Mullen, Danny Gokey, Jimmie Allen, Larry Gatlin, BeBe Winans, and more.

“Today’s culture tends to view the Bible as an ancient text that is no longer relevant, but my hope is that this film, with modern music and visual storytelling, will reignite the passion for truth in today’s culture and in a younger generation.”

We’ve been so busy I hadn’t even read the email that informed me that I was chosen to do this review, except to scroll to the bottom where they list the dates everything was due and get it all in my calendar so I wouldn’t be late on anything. I had no idea what “Legacy Peak” was about when we sat down to watch it the other night. I was excited and surprised to see that it was a family adventure movie!

About Legacy Peak

Synopsis

Jason wants nothing more than to have Noelle’s kids like him. But when a perfectly planned trip to a mountain cabin falls apart, the ensuing adventure could tear them apart or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Together they’ll discover how to trust again and what it means to be a family.

“Legacy Peak” is an inspiring family adventure movie about perseverance and moving
on from the past. It’s a message every family member can learn something from.

Mom Maven’s Thoughts

We really enjoyed “Legacy Peak” We didn’t know what it was about when it started and we weren’t expecting an adventure movie, but we were happy to watch it. We enjoyed watching Jason’s character grow and change as he encountered difficulties along his journey, both the physical journey, his spiritual journey.

Ron and I both said that the spiritual aspects of the movie felt real and natural, not forced and awkward as in many Christian films. The Bible says to “pray without ceasing”, I believe Jason was probably doing that during the harrowing part of this movie. There were times when things got especially tough that they stopped and prayed as a family, which is a very powerful thing.

I’d recommend “Legacy Peak” for families with kids ages 8+. You can go to Pure Flix and stream it starting September 22, 2022. If you don’t subscribe to Pure Flix yet, you can enter to win a subscription below.
