THE HILL is about Baseball and Courage | in theaters August 25th!

Ricky has a passion for baseball and he also has a disability with his spine that affects his legs. His legs may be weak, but his arms can hit a ball like no other. The Hill is based on a true story. This is a great movie for families of all ages and especially for those that need a boost of courage and hope. The Hill will be in theaters beginning August 25, 2023.

Synopsis – The Hill movie

Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg brace from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. As a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon. His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball. Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER, Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.

Eleanor’s Bench series shines a light on the juvenile justice system

If you have not begun the new Pure Flix series, Eleanor’s Bench then I am here to tell you what you are missing. Eleanor’s Bench shines a light on the juvenile justice system with compassion and purpose. Sometimes we have to practice self control and really feel deserving of love and forgiveness in order to truly understand the root of bad behavior and know when to recognize who needs that second chance and when.

Eleanor Thomas’s success as a Washington DC juvenile court judge is challenged when her inner-city past comes to court and demands more than judgment, prompting her to return to her impoverished neighborhood of youth. Will her renewed sense of purpose reinvigorate her faith?

I am up to episode 4 of this series and have found myself binge watching because I am hooked. By now in this Episode, Eleanor is deep in the case of Jewels and Drayvon. Now that Drayvon in Motherless and in need of a family, Eleanor struggles with a promise made to a late friend, Natasha- Jewles’ Mother. This episode reminds us that God’s mercy and grace should be poured out to all of those we know. It is bigger than guilt! You will feel sadness, you will hope and you will be reminded of the power of prayer.

If you are not familiar with Pure Flix, it is a streaming channel of family-friendly faith-based series and movies. As with the series, Eleanor’s Bench, you can find learning sessions after each show with activities to do as a group or solo to help dissect each episode and the lessons and reminder they offer.
