As a fan of the God’s Not Dead series from the beginning, I was thrilled to watch the latest installment, God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust. This is the sixth film in what has become the most successful faith-based franchise of all time. And, just like its predecessors, it did not disappoint! With the election year in full swing, the timing of this film could not be more relevant. Its message hits home, offering faith, hope, and a call to stand up and be heard in today’s political and social climate.

Engaging Storyline

The plot centers around Reverend David Hill, who steps up to run for Congress after an unexpected vacancy. He faces off against Peter Kane, a politician bent on removing religion from public policy. It’s a modern take on classic battles between faith and politics, filled with both tension and optimism. Pastor Dave is the heart of the story, reminding audiences of the incredible blessings we have as children of the Living God and citizens of the United States. It’s a story of moral courage, resilience, and the pursuit of truth, even when faced with immense challenges.

A Stellar Cast

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the film is its all-star cast. David A. R. White, Isaiah Washington, Dean Cain, and Samaire Armstrong all return, giving performances that are both heartfelt and powerful. Scott Baio’s addition to the film was a delightful, unexpected treat. But it was a special guest that truly caught my attention—Ray Wise! Having just watched Twin Peaks over the summer, I was so excited to see “Leland” in this movie. Of course, Wise plays a character who may not be on the side of goodness, but watching him added an extra layer of fun for me. His performance, along with appearances by Governor Mike Huckabee and the Newsboys, made this film a star-studded, engaging experience.

Political Relevance

Much like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington did 85 years ago, this movie taps into the political pulse of the moment. Pastor Dave’s stance against corruption and his love for his country echo what many Americans are feeling—hope for a future grounded in principles and faith. The film’s relevance, especially during such a politically charged time, can’t be overstated. It’s a call for Christians to engage in the political conversation with courage, optimism, and a belief that good can triumph.

Clean, Yet Real

While the film is clean and family-friendly, it doesn’t shy away from tackling serious subjects. Issues of faith, governance, and the moral direction of the nation are handled in a way that resonates deeply, without being heavy-handed. The balance of realism and hope makes it a compelling watch for audiences of all backgrounds. It’s a reminder that standing up for your beliefs in the public square isn’t just a right—it’s a calling.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’ve followed the series from the beginning or this is your first God’s Not Dead film, In God We Trust will inspire you. It’s a powerful testament to faith in the midst of political and spiritual turmoil. This film reminds us that, while the future may seem uncertain, there is always hope and faith to guide us. And if you’re like me, after watching this, you’ll be eager to revisit the previous films in the series!
