by Katrina Cheshire

A new Christian comedy movie is coming out for PVOD release on June 19^th! Selfie Dad is the inspiring story of a changed life and a changed family.

Starring Christian comedians Michael Jr. and Chonda Pierce, the film showcases the power of the Word of God and how it changes lives. It also features James Denton, Jamie Grace, and Karen Abercrombie (War Room). The film is packed with jokes and humor that will get the whole family laughing!

Selfie Dad Story

The movie follows the story of Ben Marcus, a reality TV editor who goes through a mid-life crisis and suddenly rises to fame as a YouTube star. In the meantime, his family is falling apart as his wife struggles with their relationship. Their teenage daughter is deceiving them, and their young son just wants some attention from his dad. In the end, Ben learns that he and his family can only find fulfillment in God’s Word. It takes some tough lessons to get them there, but the ending is a touching proof of the way in which God turns our lives around if we only let Him!

Message

In this time of change and craziness, it is more important than ever to be reminded of what truly matters. Selfie Dad takes an honest look at the downhill route our lives take when we get wrapped up in things that won’t last for eternity. This movie is a reminder to get back to the truth of God’s Word. When parents take a stand, children have an example to follow! Let’s all choose today to turn away from sin and instead use the things of this world to bring God glory. Selfie Dad is a powerful example of what can happen when we live for the Lord!
