The sixth film from the Kendrick brothers, who are also behind “War Room,” "Facing the Giants," and “Fireproof,” “Overcomer” encourages moviegoers to ask themselves, “Where do I place my identity?” Inspired by the words and prayers of a new friend, Harrison starts to train Hannah for the biggest race of her young life. Harrison reluctantly agrees to coach cross-country runners, and soon he and his wife, Amy, meet Hannah, an aspiring athlete who is also searching for her identity.

Kendrick noted that when Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he began by saying, “If you are the Son of God” ( Matthew 4:3). You don’t have the ability to do what it takes.’ And Scripture says, 'No, you have the Holy Spirit inside of you, and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.’” “He’ll say, ‘Oh, well, you’re not actually loved that much you’re not really blessed. “Satan loves to convince people that they’re the opposite of what Ephesians 1, 2 and 3 say they are,” Alex Kendrick told The Christian Post during a sit-down interview with CP last week.
