Films are neither Christian nor non-Christian. But ideas are. The concepts at the heart of this movie definitely are Christian. Fathers are important, and this film echoes Christianity's view of God as the loving father. With millions of children growing up in homes without their fathers, or in families where fathers are emotionally absent, here is a film that makes you believe dads can become the true heroes of the coming generation.
Fathers can leave an indelible mark on their children and society.
But they need to tune in for the future. Don Follis is a University of Illinois campus minister. His column appears on Fridays.
