Be Inspired by The Overcomer, Available Now

When a thriving small town suddenly takes a downturn after their plant closes, things begin to spiral out of control.  Many families are forced to leave the once happy town they love.  Faith  plays an integral part in keeping those who remain, grounded.

This movie follows the story of Coach John, a man who is forced to leave his beloved basketball coaching job.  John is distraught at losing his job and being forced to take on a new position.  With a bit of spiritual guidance and the help of a new friend, his life begins to make sense, and he begins to see how his life will be impacted by his new friend.

This movie taught me that when one door closes, another will open.  Never lose faith.
