About the film: Courageous tells the story of four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they are confident and focused, standing up to the worst the streets have to offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy strikes home, these men are left wrestling w ith their hopes, fears, faith and fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That’s courageous.

In the wake of the film’s theatrical run, more than 320,000 viewers flooded the Courageous Facebook page with personal testimonies of changed lives. Dads, mums, kids . . . entire families, wrote of reconciled relationships, rededication of faith, renewed commitment to godly parenting and reformed visions of what marriage, parenting and families should be. See www.Lovell-Fairchild.com/pressroom for more.

The film’s message on godly families and fathering hits at a vital time in our nation. Studies show father-absent homes produce children more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, suffer from mental illness, contemplate suicide, underperform at school, become pregnant out of wedlock or become involved in gangs and crime. Courageous calls on parents to be the godly leaders their families need.
