It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on our Clean Binge Watching Shows or Clean Shows on Netflix, but they still rank as some of our top posts! So, in efforts to mix things up, I figured I’d throw a monkey wrench in there on you and share some of my favorite Faith and Family MOVIES! 

Our Clean Binge Watching Shows still rank as our top posts! We're throwing a monkey wrench in there to share some of my favorite Faith and Family MOVIES!

I love the top movies like Courageous, Fireproof, and God’s Not Dead, but you’ve probably already watched those more popular faith and family movies. If you hadn’t, right there is a good place to start because some they are great too! But if you have seen them, this list is the second piece of the puzzle!

I’m not sure why some of these movies haven’t caught like wildfire, they’re really that good!

DISCLAIMER: I have personally watched each of these movies, however, they may not be suitable for all viewers. I am sharing them based upon my own convictions, but you should do your due diligence in seeking out if they will be suited to your family. You can refer to this post about _.

If you’re not head over heels for the love story of Hosea, then you absolutely need to read the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. But after, you need to watch this movie that has a modern narrative of one of the greatest love stories in the Bible! You can rent it over on Amazon Prime.

Love Comes Softly SERIES

This is my all time favorite series of all the faith and family movies. I absolutely love this whole series, and I know you will too. The whole series is comprised of 11 movies, set in the 19th century, about a woman who finds love again through the grace of God.

I haven’t been able to find the series on streaming, but you can find the movies on Amazon to purchase– and you’ll want to do that, I promise!

Facing the Giants

I’m always surprised when people tell me they haven’t seen this movie. Using faith to conquer fear, a coach tries to encourage his young football team to defeat their losing streak and come together for a winning season. You can rent it on Vudu or purchase on Amazon Prime.

Ring The Bell

A high-powered sports agent comes to a small town trying to sign a young and promising sports star but encounters a cast of characters who’s bond is worth more than his offer. This is a heart-strings comedy you won’t want to miss! Rent Ring the Bell from Amazon Prime.

Unconditional

You’ll want two boxes of tissues for this one! A young children’s book author loses her husband in an act of violence and she finds herself, and strength through an old friend and an act of faith. You can watch it on Amazon and you won’t be disappointed.

Based on a true story, Rudy Ruettiger, a small young man, tackles his learning disability and lack of finances to fulfill his dream of playing football for Notre Dame. Get it from Amazon Prime!

Forever Strong

A rugby player is put up in a juvenile detention center for a crime he committed. There he plays for the Highland Rugby team and ultimately plays against his father in the National Championships. You can find it on Amazon!

As I’m writing this, I’m realizing that the majority of these movies are true stories. Don’t those make the best tear jerkers? Knowing that there are great people out there who trusted in the Lord through their life circumstances!

    Another wonderful faith-based family film is called I believe. It is about a young boy who uses his faith to change his town. It starts Wilford Brimley in his last role.

    A wonderful family film starring Gavin MacLeod is called the Secrets of Jonathan Sperry… About a man in 1970s small town New York who leads boys in his neighborhood to Christ. I loved it. Starring Jansen Panettiere and includes Robert Guillaume in his last role!
