The direction of the story is within the expected range. The Eagles led by the protagonist of the film, the football coach, have suffered repeated defeats. They have not won a game in six years. dissatisfied and almost unemployed. Family life isn't quite what it's supposed to be, either: an old crappy car that always stalls, a home that stinks inexplicably, a stove that's broken inexplicably, and a horribly long-awaited child who has finally been sentenced to out of reach. All these failures are a burden on the coach, making him so desperate that he can't breathe.
The turning point in his fate came when, in his desperation, he began to seek God. I got up in the middle of the night, picked up the Bible and read it carefully. I got up early in the morning and went to the woods to communicate and pray with God. I found strength in prayer and finally began to understand the true mission of life. God answered him in his prayer, and he sent an elder who often prayed for his students one by one to bring him the words, giving him inspiration and courage to change the status quo. He, began to appear to the students with a new face, and began to lead them with biblical principles. Teach them that the goal of life is not just to win a game, but to glorify God. Everything was taught by the words of the Bible, which changed the students unknowingly. They decided to believe in the Lord one after another, confessed their sins and prayed to each other, and the atmosphere of the entire team began to undergo subtle changes. The most shocking scene appeared on the court, "death crawl". By blindfolding the player, let him carry a 160-pound teammate and crawl across the entire court. During this process, the coach kept encouraging him: keep going. For a moment, you can, keep moving forward~ These words of encouragement are very shocking and give people a very inspirational feeling.
From then on, the coach's life began to change, the team members became united, and one victory after another greeted them. Then there are life surprises waiting for him, a brand new car/house repaired/wage hike/wife pregnant, what a wonderful work of God. The end of the victory was the team's incredible victory against a formidable opponent, the Giants.
Thank the Lord for letting me come across this movie in the trough of my faith. Let me believe that when you begin to turn to the Lord, confess your sins and repent. God is sure to change our status quo, and we can't imagine his amazing work. Repent and seek. Looking forward to God's change in our lives. Hallelujah, thank and praise the Lord~
