Southern Gospel

Do not look at the 5.7 that is the current rating for Southern Gospel. This is not a cheesy, church actors movie that has the potential to be good but fails miserably because it is so poorly produced. This is as well made as Jesus Revolution, a story of redemption and forgiveness and real life with real issues that can negatively shape our destinies if we let them. Some find their way out of the vortex of darkness by the light of Christ, yet others choose to take matters into their hands and suffer the consequences. Southern Gospel addresses topics such as child molestation, addiction, and suicide and might not be suitable for young viewers, but it has so much to offer as a faith-based movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It starts out with "works salvation". This is false doctrine this is false Gospel. No one except Jesus can ever be good enough for heaven. We are all born sinners. It doesn't matter how you dress or never cuss in your life if you haven't accepted Jesus as your Savior you will never be godly enough to God to heaven bc you denied Jesus! Never ever! Jesus loves you and wants you to believe in Him. He will cleanse your sins. You don't have to be good for him. Come to Him as you are, Christ will help you love for him Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Now Sam does eventually mention grace. So that is good. Don't want to spoil the movie though.

Loved this film! Based on true events, this film is inspiring and touches the heart. Love the music and the actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters. Very believable and well written. We need more films like this one. If you feel like you have a dream but obstacles are many, watch this film and let it ignite a fire in you to never give up on that dream. It's a story of redemption and hope. I highly recommend you see this film and then share your experience with others. It will be money well spent and I promise you, you will leave the theater with new intention to keep pressing forward towards your dream.

Sothern Gospel is an amazing inspiring story. This movie is extremely well written and keeps you engaged since the beginning. Never surrender the dream God has given you even in the midst of hardship and trials is one of the main topics of this movie. Furthermore, it is inspiring to see how God's plans are revealed in the main character's life and how the dream becomes a reality even though they had to overcome hard times. Additionally, the cinematography, acting and singing is amazing and beyond my expectations for an independent film. It is worth the watch even if you are not a believer or religious.

I have seen it two times already, recommended it to family and friends from different states which all agree this is a fantastic inspiring movie. Plan on seeing it a third time before it is removed from theaters.

When is the soundtrack being released? The majority of the songs are also original and created by the director, Jeffery Smith.

Never surrender the dream!

You'll walk away from this film feeling hopeful. There are some really great performances and the music is so well done. I can't wait to listen to the soundtrack. The writer/director did not shy away from tough subject matter either.

It's so refreshing to see a Christian film deal with things like addiction, suicide, abuse, and even hypocrisy in the Church. We live in an imperfect world, but there is hope.

If you grew up in southern church culture, this film is for you. If you've walked away from church, this film is for you.

Faith-based entertainment is having a new moment in culture and this one is a great example of a thoughtful, real to life, gritty, TRUE story of redemption.
