Filmmaker Andy Erwin: ‘Ordinary Angels' Has a Powerful Message for the Church

Kingdom Story Company's new movie Ordinary Angels, set to release February 23, tells the true story of a hairdresser who rallies a community and a church to assist a widower whose young daughter is critically ill. Set in Louisville, Ky., during the 1990s, the film stars Alan Ritchson as the widower, Ed Schmitt, and two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank as the hairdresser, Sharon Stevens. "It's a miracle story," says producer Andy Erwin. The film, he said, "shows the gospel in action." "It puts kind of hands and feet to the gospel," he said. "This is just a great case study of how to get involved to do the next right thing as far as ministry, as far as outreach, as far as compassion towards people that are hurting in your community – you never know what somebody's going through next door. You never know what obstacles they're facing. And sometimes we stay so busy, especially in church culture, that we never slow down enough to figure out what, what's going on, and how can I help? I think this movie really shows a person that was willing to do that for a stranger. And then it inspired this church to make a difference."   🎥 Watch the video: https://youtu.be/UicSxNygR-w  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
