While watching the movie, I was reminded of the country song with the lyrics that go ‘you’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything’. It’s so hard in today’s world to stand up for important issues that you believe in, especially Christian values and issues. It’s just easier if we go along with the flow, and don’t cause a scene. I absolutely hate confrontation of any kind. Which makes me even more grateful for people like Coach Joe Kennedy, who will take a stand in support for everyone else who can’t or won’t. In my opinion, this film was brilliant. And what makes it even better, is that it was a true story! I love seeing real people take a stand for our freedoms and actually WIN! As you watch this film, you feel all the emotions, heartbreak, and struggle as if it were your own. I was so inspired by this film and encouraged that there is still hope in this crazy, backwards world, even for the Average Joe!

About the Film:
High school football coach Joe Kennedy had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. From the director and producers of God’s Not Dead and the producers of The Blind comes AVERAGE JOE, in theaters beginning October 11.
About Coach Joe Kennedy:
A twenty-year Marine veteran, was an assistant coach for the Bremerton High School (BHS) varsity football team. Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach made a commitment to God that he would give thanks at the conclusion of each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and turned into a lengthy court battle.
