Director: Kevan Otto
Writer: Ty Manns
Stars: Richard T. JonesKim FieldsC. Thomas Howell

When three very different families’ lives collide in interweaving stories, destiny forces them on a converging path of belief and redemption.
When tragedy strikes three families, their destiny forces them on a converging path to discover God’s love, grace, and mercy as the challenges of their fate could also resurrect their beliefs.

Pastor David Newman is a loving husband and father set to take over his father’s church while neglecting the promises he made to his 12-year-old son Eric. Kate Hernandez is a spiritually-driven single-parent owner of a local restaurant; her daughter Maria is a free-spirited teenager aspiring to be the first in her family to attend college. John Danielson owns a failing construction company and sees his daughter Michelle’s fledgling singing career as a way out of financial trouble. These strangers’ lives collide when two twists of fate strike back-to-back. The first: while texting and driving in her car, Maria accidentally hits Eric, which lands Maria in jail and leaves Eric’s family in an unthinkable dilemma. The second: while auditioning for a major record label, Michelle collapses, leading to a discovery about her health which rocks the very foundation of her father’s dream. All three families start questioning their faith and the Higher Power that guides their lives. As each family member deals with their issues, their worlds intertwine. This leads to a chain of events that brings the three families closer and closer together. Will the families give in to the loss, pain and uncertainty that has shattered their lives, or will they find the tie that binds them all together through hope, trust, redemption, and good will?

Trust in God.

當三個截然不同的家庭的生活在交織的故事中發生碰撞時,命運迫使他們走上信仰和救贖的共同道路。
當悲劇降臨到三個家庭時,命運迫使他們走上一條共同的道路,去發現上帝的愛、恩典和憐憫,因為命運的挑戰也可能使他們的信仰復活。

大衛·紐曼牧師是一位慈愛的丈夫和父親,他準備接管父親的教堂,但忽略了對 12 歲兒子艾瑞克的承諾。凱特·埃爾南德斯 (Kate Hernandez) 是一位精神驅動的單親媽媽,擁有一家當地餐廳;她的女兒瑪麗亞是個自由奔放的青少年,立志成為家裡第一個上大學的人。約翰·丹尼爾森 (John Danielson) 擁有一家瀕臨破產的建築公司,他將女兒米歇爾 (Michelle) 剛起步的歌唱事業視為擺脫財務困境的出路。當命運的兩個轉折相繼出現時,這兩個陌生人的生活發生了碰撞。第一個故事:瑪麗亞開車時發短信時,不小心撞到了艾瑞克,結果瑪麗亞進了監獄,而艾瑞克的家人則陷入了難以想像的困境。第二個故事:在為一家大型唱片公司試鏡時,米歇爾突然暈倒,她的健康狀況因此受到影響,而這動搖了她父親夢想的基礎。這三個家庭都開始質疑他們的信仰和指導他們生活的更高力量。當每個家庭成員處理自己的問題時,他們的世界就交織在一起了。這引發的一系列事件使三個家庭的關係越來越密切。這些家庭是否會屈服於破壞他們生活的損失、痛苦和不確定性,還是會透過希望、信任、救贖和善意找到將他們團結在一起的紐帶?

相信上帝。

In the lives of the saints, we find strength. Their struggles mirror our own, and their triumphs over human weakness give us hope. Such is the subject of our faith-based film, MAN OF GOD. The life of St. Nektarios of Aegina from Greece was one of persecution and prosecution.

Exiled unjustly, convicted without trial, slandered without cause. Man of God depicts the trials and tribulations of Saint Nektarios of Aegina, as he bears the unjust hatred of his enemies while preaching the Word of God.

Man of God brings to life the incredible true story of Saint Nectarios of Aegina, Greece. A priest of the common people, his humility annoyed the prideful orthodox clergy of the day. In contrast to his religious superiors – the bishops and patriarchs mesmerized by worldly honors and power – Nectarios cared for the poor; taught peasant girls to read and write; inspired by example young men to enter the priesthood; and wrote books and delivered sermons that uplifted nations of believers. In this exquisitely made film, relive Nectarios’ inspiring devotion and perseverance as, despite the efforts of the religious establishment to discredit him and dismantle his good works over decades, he embraced humility and inspired thousands to become one of Greece’s most renowned saints.

(Although this is a movie about catholic story, he did good in many ways to love people, this is what we should learn from him, we believe in one God.)

在聖徒的生命中,我們找到了力量。他們的鬥爭反映了我們自己的鬥爭,他們戰勝人性弱點的歷程給了我們希望。這就是我們的信仰電影《上帝之人》的主題。來自希臘的埃伊納島的聖尼克塔里奧斯的一生充滿了迫害和迫害。

遭受不公正的流放、未經審判就被定罪、無緣無故地被誹謗。 《上帝之人》描繪了埃伊納島聖人尼克塔里奧斯在宣揚上帝之言時承受敵人不公正的仇恨而經歷的磨難。

《上帝之人》生動地講述了希臘埃伊納島聖人尼克塔里奧斯令人難以置信的真實故事。身為平民牧師,他的謙遜讓當時驕傲的正統神職人員感到惱火。與他的宗教上級——被世俗榮譽和權力迷惑的主教和牧首——相反,內克塔里奧斯關心窮人;教導農民女孩讀書寫字;受到青年榜樣的激勵而進入神職人員行列;並撰寫書籍、發表講道,鼓舞全國的信徒。在這部製作精美的電影中,重溫了內克塔里奧斯鼓舞人心的虔誠和毅力,儘管宗教機構幾十年來一直試圖抹黑他、拆散他的善舉,但他依然保持謙遜,激勵了成千上萬的人成為希臘最有名的聖人之一。

(雖然這是一部關於天主教故事的電影,但他以多種方式行善來愛人,這是我們應該向他學習的,我們相信一個上帝。)
