10 Best Christian Movies To Watch On Netflix That Are About Family & Faith
Netflix offers plenty of Christian movies to watch for you and your family.
JESHOOTS.com via @pexels If you have Netflix and want to watch a film about God and faith with your family, here's a list of the top Christian moves that are worth seeing.
Netflix has a huge variety of faith-based films. So instead of watching the show ‘Friends’ for the third time, warm up some hot tea and be reminded about God’s wonders.
What should you watch on Netflix?
The faith-based films Netflix offers shares multiple conflicts in our daily struggles and some are based on books, too.
Whether that’s getting through a divorce, losing a loved one, second chances, and more. We all have so many chapters in our lives where we are not prepared to handle situations on our own.
A part of self-care is realizing our identity. We are loved and we all go through certain obstacles in our lives for a reason.
These faith-based movies help us realize God’s tests in multiple ways, to see how flexible our trust is in Him.
If you need time to yourself, watching a faith-based film can bring peace into the atmosphere. Make it a family night, and remind everyone how God always knows what’s best for us.
This could help broken relationships mend back together, or get those around you to open about certain things that are heavy on their heart.
Whatever the case may be, Netflix offers its viewers a chance to reconnect with God through impactful stories.
