The Erwin brothers bring another faith-based story inspired by a genuine movement on the screen.

Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle co-directed Jesus Revolution. The film tells the story of a young Greg Laurie, played by Joel Courtney, being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene, played by Kimberly Williams-Paisley, in the 1970s.

Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. Everything changes when Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee, played by Jonathan Roumie. Frisbee is a charismatic hippie street preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith, played by Kelsey Grammer, has thrown open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth.

What unfolds becomes the most significant spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, radical love, and newfound faith lead to a “Jesus Revolution.”

Grammer nails the role of Pastor Smith. He brings humor to an otherwise strict faith-based opportunity to spread the word of Jesus.

Here, the movie tells the story of how one culture turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.
