Jesus Revolution

JESUS REVOLUTION is the story of one young hippie’s quest in the 1970s for belonging and liberation that leads not only to peace, love, and rock and roll, but that sets into motion a new counterculture crusade–a Jesus Movement–changing the course of history. Inspired by a true movement, JESUS REVOLUTION tells the story of a young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) being raised by his struggling mother, Charlene (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. Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer) who have thrown open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. What unfolds becomes the greatest spiritual awakening in American history. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a JESUS REVOLUTION that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.

Q-tips say: Yes, see it! We did enjoy this movie. Many of us might remember the hippy years & some of the music also.

One of the most appealing faith-based big-screen entertainments in a while, polished and persuasive without getting too preachy & yes, some humor.

The movie movie was uplifting & moved us. We need this in our misguided world today. 

Mrs. Q says: Great message, well made movie with a history lesson tied into it & the movie was even better than I thought it would be!
