Townhall Presents: DailyWire+ and Angel Studios Team Up (2024). Breakthrough composed by Sean Philip Johnson. … for the sake of “the least of us”.
Theological differences aside, it is a solid film about an inspiring event that we believers should not overlook. It’s a film that pulls no punches – its PG13 rating is well deserved. Going into it, I was afraid the filmmakers would try to make adoption look easy. They didn’t. As it turns out, it can be a downright terrifying experience. There are scenes where the adoptive parents are in full regret mode. But as the movie explains, we weren’t made to live easy lives. We live to bear the burden of others, as Christ did. Mr. and Mrs. Martin and their congregation show us what that looks like.
