Rock ‘n roller Samuel Allen (Max Ehrich) finds himself in jail, a consequence of his anger-filled youth and disdain for organized religion. However, a moment of divine intervention occurs when a judge dismisses the drug charges against him because Samuel shares his story with local schools and churches. This marks the beginning of a transformative journey from rebellion to redemption.
Given a second chance, Samuel embarks on a journey to follow in his father’s footsteps. He overcomes the influence of an influential church leader who has a vendetta against his father, Pastor Joe (Gary Weeks). Despite the challenges, he decides to become a preacher, a testament to the power of second chances. He also wins Julie’s heart (Katelyn Nacon).
Directed and written by Jeffrey A. Smith, who plays Pastor Clayborn, this faith-based movie set in the 1960s doesn’t deny that staying on the right side is filled with temptation. Samuel Allen, Dream Church’s founder, walked the path shown in Southern Gospel. There’s even a tragic drowning, the idea that electric guitars are tools of Satan and the idea that the church elders fight more to keep their power than to help save sinners.
I don’t love many faith-based movies—outside of the films of Ron Ormond and Donald W. Thompson—but even I can recognize the lessons in this one.
