Catholic Endorsements
"This film is a powerful catalyst for the strengthening of family life, especially as it calls Christian men to be husbands and fathers after the example of Christ, who gave his life for his bride, the Church."
– The Most Rev. Michael Sheridan, Bishop of Colorado Springs
"COURAGEOUS is a powerful film for men. It has everything men look for in a movie; every aspect of what makes us tick and is important to us is wrapped together with plenty of action. Many men who come for the entertainment will leave with much to think about in their own lives. It is easy for a father to have children, but it is not so easy for a child to have a father. This film gives men a strong perspective of the impact they have on society as fathers.
-Todd Sester, Familia USA National Director
"COURAGEOUS is a must see movie for families and especially for all men. It will serve as a wake-up call for all of us about the importance of what matters most in life. I experienced every possible emotion during this film. I spent most of the time on the edge of my seat, fully engaged in the stories and the lives of the characters. The best part about it is that many weeks after seeing the movie, I am still thinking about how it spoke to me and still telling everyone I know that they need to see it."
– Bill Moyer, Former Executive Director-National Fellowship of Catholic Men, Catholic speaker and author of Seeds of Success: A Journey from Success to Significance & Relevant Radio Show Host of "It's Your Call"
"The power of this film is that it portrays real men, living real lives, in the real world. COURAGEOUS first holds up a mirror for the men in our society so that we can see the results of our own mediocrity. It then calls on us to be men of heroic virtue, men of prayer, and men of conviction and inspires with a vision of the man we can only be when united to Jesus Christ."
- Peter E. Kennedy, Administrator of Adult Faith Formation, Archdiocese of Omaha
"COURAGEOUS really hits home the importance of "Putting the family in the hands of the Father."
– Rob Moreland, The Men of St. Joseph
"After both laughing and crying, you will feel good about this movie and want to share it with others. As these men confront danger or the trials of everyday life they also discover God given insights to rescue their relationships with their children. Everyone will enjoy this film about fatherhood and I highly recommend it for men."
- Phil A. Webb, Jr, Director, Marriage and Family Life, Archdiocese of Denver
"COURAGEOUS speaks to the heart of every man, and if the challenge of this movie is embraced, it has the seeds to transform our culture and to help heal the deep wounds facing marriage and family life."
- Steve Pokorny, Director, Theology of the Body Ministries
"Like Fireproof, COURAGEOUS uses an entertaining and powerful medium to draw average audiences to a message that will impact their lives and values. With the shift in today's culture that disconnects marriage and children, COURAGEOUS calls us to evaluate the importance marriage has on the lives of children and the need for both parents."
- Christine Codden, President, National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers
"It has been said that you can judge the quality of a culture by its men. That is because men are in need of ongoing reminders and encouragement as to what it means to be a good man, a good husband and a good father. COURAGEOUS is a much needed reminder and encouragement for men to live up to their God-given potential."
- Fred Everett, JD, Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend - Office of Family Life, Health Care, Hispanic Ministry, Catholic Campaign for Human Development & Indiana Catholic Conference
"Shockingly honest with intense laughter and pain as you enter into the lives of these men. You will leave the theater a changed person. A film that infuses courage into your soul. Not to be missed. "
- Marian Frentz, Founder and Coordinator of the TASTE Program - A Catholic Women's Group in the Baltimore/Washington Area
"It was a privilege to be brought into the lives of these 5 men and their families as they made their choices, and watching them challenged me to live courageously and gave me hope that, even as flawed as I am, and even when I fall, I can do it. If my coach is God, I will make it to the finish line. Thanks for a powerful movie!"
– Audrey Kizys, Account Executive, New World Publications
