The good news, though, is there’s plenty of quality movies to watch.

If you’re looking for some good Christian films to watch this weekend, we’ve got you covered. Here are five worthwhile movies:

1. The Case for Christ (2017)

This Pure Flix movie, directed by Jon Gunn and starring the late Robert Forster, Faye Dunaway, Erika Christensen, and Mike Vogel, chronicles the journeys of real-life investigative reporter Lee Strobel, who set out on a mission to disprove the Christian faith and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

His no-holds-barred search to discredit Christianity caused a major rift between Strobel and his wife, who became a Christian while he was still determined to falsify the faith at the center of his journalistic inquiry.

After two years of intense research and meticulous investigation, Strobel was compelled to accept the truths of Christianity. He went on to write about his incredible journey in his best-selling book, “The Case for Christ.”

2. An Interview with God (2018)

The Astute Films movie, directed by Perry Lang and written by Ken Aguado, stars David Strathairn, Brenton Thwaites, and Hill Harper. The fictional film tells the story of Paul Asher, a budding journalist who had just returned home after being deployed to Afghanistan.

When he comes home, Asher’s marriage — and life — is crumbling around him. His life, though, takes an interesting turn when he’s offered the intriguing opportunity to interview a mysterious man claiming to be God, played by Strathairn.

The film’s co-producer, Harrison Powell, said he hoped the film would encourage people to ask questions and start conversations about faith in God.

“Our thought is, film is art and great art should ask questions, sometimes more than it gives answers,” he said.

3. Same Kind of Different As Me (2017)

This Paramount Pictures film, based on the New York Times bestseller by the same title, stars Greg Kinnear, René Zellweger, Djimon Hounsou, and Jon Voight. It chronicles the real-life experiences of art dealer Ron Hall, who, after coming clean about an affair, is challenged by his wife Debbie to make up for his selfishness by volunteering with her at the local homeless shelter.

Initially cynical about the entire thing, Hall ultimately befriends a homeless man who introduces himself as Denver. Hall’s relationship with Denver ultimately leads to a moving reconciliation between himself and his father, played by Voight.

Variety described the faith-based film as a “sincere and sometimes clumsy plea for old-fashioned Christian empathy.”

4. Good Sam (2019)

Though it’s not a Christian movie in the traditional sense, the Netflix original film “Good Sam” is chock full of worthwhile faith-based lessons.

The movie, which boasts a “Dove Approved” seal, follows the story of intrepid New York City beat reporter Kate Bradley, played by Tiya Sircar, as she works to unmask the identity of a mysterious good Samaritan leaving bags of $100,000 on residents’ doorsteps.

In its review of the film, Movieguide said “Good Sam” is “filled with positive Christian, biblical messages that obviously draw on the biblical story found in Luke 10,” when Jesus tells his disciples the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

5. Samson (2018)

For those who want to see a biblical epic, the Pure Flix movie “Samson,” starring Taylor James, Billy Zane, Lindsay Wagner, and Caitlin Leahy, tells the story of Samson in the Old Testament book of Judges.

In the film, set not long before the reign of King David, the Hebrews in Israel are under the harsh rule of the Philistines. It’s prophesied that Samson will help God’s people defeat the Philistines with his supernatural strength. His weakness, though, is his sexual desire.

Throughout the action-packed film, viewers see how God helps Samson overcome his physical temptations to use him in greater ways.

For KING + COUNTRY, one of the most popular Christian and inspirational bands around, is gearing up for the Christmas season in a big way.

Just months after singers Joel and Luke Smallbone brought their family’s story to the big screen in biopic “Unsung Hero,” the duo are heading back to theaters with a new project, “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live.”

The cinematic experience, which will run from Dec. 5-9, will make For KING + COUNTRY’s popular Christmas show accessible to people across the nation.

And the brothers promise to deliver a “sonic journey that blends the sights and sounds of the season with the musical mastery, heartwarming storytelling, and dazzling production.” Joel Smallbone told CBN News he’s elated to bring the show to audiences:

“One of the things that we love is Christmas tours,” he told CBN News. “And we’ve done one almost every year since the beginning of the band.”

But with the Christmas season so short, he said they came up with another option: bringing the Christmas show to movie theaters so even more people can see it. The band performed a show at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, rallied 12,000 fans — and created “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live.”

“One of the things that we love is Christmas tours,” he told CBN News. “And we’ve done one almost every year since the beginning of the band.”

“It’s really beautiful,” Smallbone said. “This year, more than ever, I feel like we desperately just need to kind of keep the main thing the main thing, and these great hallmarks of humanity that are love, and joy, and peace, patience, kindness, goodness — let’s put them back in the driver’s seat this Christmas.”

Ultimately, Smallbone said “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live” is all about honoring the true meaning of Christmas.

“This is singing about baby Jesus, and this is singing about the redemption of humanity, and this is singing about BC to AD,” he said.

As for upcoming plans after the theatrical experience, Smallbone said For KING + COUNTRY is, for the first time since the beginning of the band, spending a year away from touring.

“We’re … going away to write and record … and we’re also going away to work on our next feature film that is going to production next fall,” he said, explaining that the band will come back to perform after these upcoming projects.
