The surprise box-office hit brought in more than $15 million at the box office on opening weekend, widely exceeding Hollywood predictions that the film would only make an estimated $6 million.
We spoke with the cast and crew of the film in RELEVANT’s spring issue about the making of the film and why they felt like it was a story that needed to be heard.
Joel Courtney, who takes on the role of a young Greg Laurie, shared he was drawn to the film when he saw that at its heart, it was a story that sought to unite everyone.
“I was very attracted to the script and the message of hope that the film brings,” Courtney said. “It’s not an old school Christian film that kind of alienates and judges or is cheesy and lighthearted. It’s heartbreaking. It’s powerful. These are real people’s stories. I connected to the redemptiveness of it.”
