We’re coming up on the release of Courageous in just two weeks. We’re all excited to see how God is going to use the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures to bless and strengthen families across the world.

One of the national ministry partners that we have been excited to work with is All Pro Dad, founded by my good friend Mark Merrill.

He raises the bar and challenges all of us to be All Pro Dads.

This team was receptive, and the coaches were cooperative and supportive. It was a privilege to show the film, and to be there with Jim McBride, Ken Bevel and our friend (and book agent) Bill Reeves.
