Greg Laurie does not believe in the baptism of speaking in tongues that's why I stopped following him. I started following Greg on radio at work place in 80s
I couldn't imagine, How do you recommend us to see. We can see bare eyes those hidden twist and emotional bitterness. you forget to tell about hidden symbolism. this movie was garbage from believers point of view.
I surrendered my life to Jesus @ Calvary Chapel in 1970 and was baptized in Pirates Cove with about 200 other new believers. I continue to walk with Jesus, after more than 50 years, because of this ministry. I was not a hippy, but a young teenager hungry for truth. God is good.
Wow!, I was a little young in those days but still witnessed first hand how the movement influenced the entire country, not just CA, but even the remote back woods.
I was a part of it in the 70’s! It was chaotic and joyful. I realize now the chaos isn’t good. But I was raised by Atheists, and I went to check out the music………….and ran to Jesus Christ. We all loved each other so much! We were barefoot hippies part of the flower power generation. I would NEVER have gone into an uncool “churchy church.” 😂 which is exactly where God led me too eventually.
Just took 12 people to see this beautiful film, not a dry eye in the theater, my friends wept and gave there life to Christ right in the parking lot, others expressed there desire to go back to church again...Glory to God!!!
That movie, in a very good way, resurrected memories and emotions that I had not felt for a very long time. I was a college student in Minnesota during the mid-70's. My girlfriend at the time lead me to Christ after she became a Christian. My life totally changed. I was set free from drugs, weed and alcohol. Now, I'm no longer in bondage for almost 50 years. I immediately started telling my buddies about Jesus. Some came to Christ others thought I was crazy. By God's grace I have hung in there with the Lord. The movie is true, we at that time looking for answers in all the wrong places. I am telling my kids if they want to understand me and the love and power of Christ, see the movie.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films. They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ. Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
That's so wonderful and congrats on so many years of sobriety. I celebrate 5 years sober tomorrow the 7th of March. Although I've loved Jesus most of my life, I didn't start seeking Him until last summer. I wish I had followed Jesus a long time ago but I'm truly grateful I do now. God Bless you 😁
God bless you. I was in high school and caught a renewed faith at that time. I remember having a "Reachout" Bible on my desk and the hippy dude behind me tapped my shoulder wanting to look at it. The teacher came stomping down the aisle to correct the whispering and when she realized what was going on, she turned around and walked back to her desk like she didn't see or hear anything. What a classy lady. Today's teachers would be acting crazy.
Exactly the same for me as well. nearly 50 years ago, I was confronted by a 'Jesus Hippie' who was going to Calvary Chapel. I gave my life to Christ and was set free from weed and alcohol addictions as well. I was baptized in Pirates Cove and have been walking with Jesus ever since.
I was in high school during the early ‘70s and was part of this movement. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of people “trying too hard” with the gifts to the point people were faking it trying to get that high. It turned me off and I ended up leaving the church for many years. Thankfully God never gave up on me and I now have a deep relationship with Jesus.
Praise God Bill! so happy you are back. I was saved in the mid 80's and saw some of what you describe in the church. As you probably know, that's why the Vineyard split from the Calvary movement because they wanted a ministry that was more gift focused.
I was one of those hippies and now, 52 years later, the Lord's faithfulness continues to sustain me moment by moment and day by day. He is worthy of all glory and honor!
Amen, Joanne, I was a hippy too (maybe still 😂) but this movement is what drew me to Jesus. The love between us all was breathtaking. We never wanted to go home. ❤️

I haven't even seen Jesus Revolution yet but I'll check it out. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. I really appreciate brother Jon McCray Whaddo You Meme's CZcams Apologetics ministry for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
That's one thing about that 'movement' and what followed after... Those that the Lord called and saved in those days STAYED convicted in the faith, and did not deviate.
I was a teenager in the early 1970s and gave my life to Jesus, mainly as a result of the Jesus movement. I attended Bible studies put on by some "saved hippies." I had been kind of a "hippie wannabe." I have now been walking with Jesus around 50 years and my life was totally transformed from what it was. I won't lie, I cried my way through that movie because I feel so far from the purity of joy and love for Jesus that I and other new believers experienced. The culture war, political polarization (in my own family as well), and fear of the results of our nation's fall away from God have taken my eyes off the glorious face of Jesus and have robbed me of my thankful heart for His grace and my joy in serving Him. I pray His Spirit is doing another big work like He did in the 1970s but no matter what happens, I will continue walking with Him until I see His face!

@@TedEhioghae the Jesus Revolution did not have Jesus in it. It was set in the 1970s and there was a guy who wore long hair and a beard, but his name was.Lonnie and he didn't claim to be Christ.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2 Keep running the race, brother! 💪🏽
Thank you for sharing. When you mentioned feeling far from the people in the movie and their deep spiritual connection, the culture war etc- that stood out to me. It's exactly what I have suffered to more and more extremes the last decade. I am an ostracized whistleblower of horrific abuse and corruption in my field of work as a youth mentor and generally in empowerment, liberation on similar themes of the people joining the Jesus Movement, but in a non religious context. I've also lost many friends over the years to extreme Social Justice, which is a religion, not a political worldview. It is a Godless religion without connection to the spiritual realm; it is abusive to ALL who are subjected to it. Some of us are called oppressors, some are called oppressed. The ideologues try to force us into this caste system and keep us imprisoned there. They are extremely anti human and bigoted against white people and men. But in another sense bigoted against the "oppressed" groups. When I saw Jesus Revolution I cried harder than in many years of my life. I told a therapist about what was profound in it and when I recalled the scene of Pastor Smith washing the hippies' feet I couldn't speak, i got so emotional. This is because that and multiple other scenes showed this real, deep human acceptance that was courageous and vulnerable. And seeing that I was shocked because I have witnessed and experienced such deep hostility, callous cruelty and severance in my home culture and life generally. The revelations I'm having are making it so painfully clear how severed people are from the source of life, the spiritual realm, and each other. How isolated and locked up in their trauma people are. How many are seeking truth and liberation in lies and ideology that is fundamentally opposed to liberation. I am discovering my life's mission on this path to create refuge for ostracized people like the hippies, like myself and my friends. To create refuge for genuine connection and deep healing 🙏😇
@@elshaddai87 I have been going through the America is falling away from God thoughts rather than getting closer to the Lord also, and have lost much joy of the Lord because my focus was more on what is happening in the world rather than my relationship with God. Recently I been seeking the Lord more and getting closer to Him. Praise God. I think, like many movements, revivals, and things like that for the Lord, will lead to some Christian conversions, as God will be where His word and ways are being spoken. Even if it isn't much more than basic doctrine. But none recently have changed the course of the nation, as some did in the past. It changed the course of the nation, because it changed many people. Recently, the revivals change some people with very little impact on the country. There are false doctrines in the recent revivals, as well as truth, yet thank God, some get truly saved and go to godly churches. It's better than nothing, which is what most churches are doing. God will judge right.
With deep regret, I had been walking away from my religious background while this awakening happened. It took another 9 years to turn around and come fully to the Lord. It was great to see how this movie portrayed this movement, and I share prayer in my church for another, if final, awakening. I won't miss the next one. Hallelujah! Maranatha!
My wife and I saw “The Jesus Revolution” yesterday. We received Jesus on 1/15/75. We were 23 at the time. There was a great move of the Spirit across denominations, and the hunger for Jesus was palpable. This movie moved us to tears several times, as we recalled the faithfulness of Jesus, calling us out of darkness into his marvelous light. I heartily recommend this movie. Thank you for your cogent review.🔥🙏🏽🔥
@@eisenhower9069 Any human named Jesus is my ADOPTED SON. I'm shitting in a bucket for all the various PREACHERS & "HUMANITY" AS CALLS HAVE BEEN IGNORED FOR YEARS!
I loved this movie! My husband of 33 years is not a Christian, and I showed him part of the trailer (where ‘Lonnie’ says, “this house has a very good vibe” 😂). I bought two tickets and told him he was invited if he’d like to go. I was floored when he said he would! (Very uncharacteristic). As we were driving to the movie, he told me his friends at work were asking which movie we were going to and he didn’t know. I looked at him incredulously and said, “you really don’t know? I told you about it … it’s called Jesus Revolution and it’s about the big revival of the 70s”. I’m sure he was thinking what did I get myself into 😅. Well- long story short, he actually really liked it! he laughed a lot, and felt for the characters too. He thought it was well done and didn’t feel preached at. I’m telling you, if my hubby liked it, that’s saying something! Don’t be afraid to share it with your friends ❤
M P I stand with you for your husband in whom God is already doing a work; A marvelous revelation of God’s love, deliverance from any lies, power to serve and see with the mind of Christ, Healing where needed, Great peace! Let it be so Lord.
Just don't let him fall into the pagan holidays of this world like Easter and Christmas which is Pagan! only the Bible has the true Holy Days. Nimrod was born on December 25th. and Jesus was born in the Spring.
I saw the movie the other day. I was already familiar with the story. I've been attending Calvary Chapel for close to 30 years now. This is a fantastic movie. The theme you talked about is the central one. However there is another one I feel is just as important. Greg Laurie touched on it during an interview about the movie. That theme is that God can and does use flawed people. No one in this movie is portrayed as perfect or even close to it and I'm glad. Having battled and beat an addiction because of the power of Christ I can personally attest to this theme. I am simply a sinner saved by grace.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films. They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ. Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
@@TedEhioghae This isn't a "Jesus Christ" film. It's a true story about the start of the Jesus movement and Calvary Chapel. I think you're confusing this with another movie.
I kept wondering why the name Greg Laurie was so familiar. Our ladies leader sends us a devotion by text each morning and Greg Laurie is still working.
@@LoudRam LOL😂 this is like the Radio Station.. I listen to Greg, Some other Programs, Ignore the False light Oprah Pimp from Saddleback then get frustrated when those pastors that get together don't comprehend what the question was from a viewer😄 Real Life People.. We just have to Keep Seeking The One True Living God, Yeshua, Jesus Christ... and remember ALL man-made Religion eventually falls under the Umbrella of False Light One World Religion sponsored by the Vatican Beast System.. Including the Movies🎥💻🎪🔍🎭✋😎🙏💪☝
I'm 71 yrs old now, but I remember the movement. I wrote many Christian songs and I remember the apprehension of the church body when I brought my beat up guitar into the sanctuary for Sunday morning service and sang and played. I wasn't a "hippie" per se, but to some members, anything other than an organ playing was "sacrilege". From there, others brought new songs and music to the church and it was eventually embraced by most. Even the "traditional" Christmas program had guitars playing "Silent Night". It was a wonderful time of development for myself and for the Christian faith in general.
i was the overnight guard at the jesus revolution movie .. i had to watch the houses overnight where they left all their equipment and i must say they put their all into that movie and im proud of them .. to see how far it came is amazing 🤩 and to see all the places i watched overnight actually on the movie screens and it being a succcess warms my heart …they was so nice to me too! it was so cold those nights and they told me i could go in the house and hang out if i wanted to long as i made my rounds …i made a few friends with cast but i don’t remember their names it was a fun time .. i loved how the house in fairhope looked inside it was so beautiful like i was really back in the 70’s from the furniture to their wardrobe its was so cohesive and thought out … it was long drive there but it was worth it and im glad i got to experience it first hand i know jesus led me there
Mike, your teachings are so good, keep at it bro. You're being listened to all over. I'm in Alaska, for example :) And yes, this movie was awesome, my seven year old said that she cried like ten times during it
Thank you for the great comments. At first I was holding my breath because people are so negative about Jesus but instead this was uplifting. I hope and pray this movie will touch people and make them understand who Jesus is. Once there is an understanding of Jesus people change
@Rick Davis I was wondering too what this video would be. After hearing this commentary, I am interested in seeing the movie. Thank you for this inspiring video ☝🏼😊
Great take. I’d hope we see something similar today. Meeting people where they are before demanding where they should be is the foundation. This movie was a great reminder
@@justingary5322 : Very well put together. I agree with you on every point, which is rare and rather nice. I too see evidence of speciation and micro evolution (meaning adaptation), since we have so many species of each animal. The Ark clearly didn't carry two of each and every species, so they must have had their changes come from adaptations to their environment. By the way, read the Book of Enoch, at least the beginning. Some parts are not accurate (for example, there really are no female angels - every last one of them would look clearly male). I found this out by enquiring of God directly. Therefore, it becomes clear that the text is not fully reliable. However, I sincerely believe (also based on direct inquiries of God) that there were angels that left their first estate and took physical forms in order to mate with human women (Genesis 6). The purpose of this was to corrupt human DNA, until our entire race was no longer made in God's image. Noah's genetics remained pure (Genesis 6:9 - BLAMELESS in his generations). I also believe that the Mark of the Beast will successfully accomplish this genetic corruption in all who take it. Why bother? I have a theory. I believe that the enemy is attempting to create a 'pocket of evil' - a place where God will have no legal right to intervene. Dominion of this planet was handed to Man. What if every single human were altered to be completely under satan's utter and absolute control, inside and out? Those who refuse the Mark are exterminated. What if every voice on the entire planet declares satan as ruler and God is not to have any authority here? What would that accomplish spiritually? Would God have no more authority in His own Creation? Would God's own righteousness force Him to follow such dictates? I'm not entirely sure. But since the enemy does not have anywhere near the power to force God out by strength, he would have to do it by making it that God would have to violate His own righteousness in order to dethrone satan (and God will NEVER violate His own righteousness - EVER). This would create a "zone" where the enemy would be safe from the Lake of Fire Judgment. Since brute power has zero chance, I have to believe that the enemy's endgame has to do with legally being made safe from ever being brought to Judgment. Why would he bother working so hard to corrupt this world, and even our genome, if it didn't profit him in some way? And what does he fear the most? I personally have felt demons flee when speaking Revelation 20:10 out loud JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK THE WORD "TORMENT". I consider this quite telling. There is terror in their ranks of that particular Judgment. However, I was in a fight once with a very powerful demon where that scripture did not seem to affect it at all. When I switched to using the Blood of Jesus against it there were definite results. I could feel it "screaming" in a sense, in the spirit. I have wondered about this, but I do not have revelation yet. The only thought I've had that might be from the Lord is that this powerful evil demon does not believe Revelation 20:10, and therefore it wasn't affecting it in a desired manner. Or perhaps I just couldn't sense it. Not sure. Anyways, my whole point is that this is a source of great fear for at least some of them, and the devil himself knows that Jesus is FAR more powerful than he is. Therefore I believe that the enemy must be trying to make it so that God will HAVE TO leave him alone. That's my theory so far. Just thought that I would share my thinking with you. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Peace and love brother.
I was saved during the Jesus movement in mid 70s. A number of my coworkers were saved within a span of a few months. It's been years since I've seen that many salvations. At the time, I thought that was just normal for the spread of the Gospel in the U.S.. Didn't know a revival was going on. I pray it will be so again.
What do you consider saved? Only God can save you, were you born again or did you keep doing the things you did before? Just wondering. God chooses his children, its through his grace we have been saved.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
I saw it last night with my friends from my Bible study group. Most of us are old enough to remember this and one woman was actually involved in the Jesus movement. She had even attended the Jesus Expo in 1972 which was held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. For her the movie was very personal. Tonight our youth group is going to see it. I’m praying it speaks to them, especially my grandkids.
I went to Explo 72 in Dallas too. It was amazing. I accepted Christ June 15, 1972 when Billy Graham gave his sermon. I also have an album of the music that was recorded at Explo 72. An incredible experience.

I would much rather see church youth groups see this and more movies like this than some of the demonic movies that some church youth leaders have taken their groups to go see.
I'm currently a pastor in the very active Calvary Chapel Movement, we still see the same 1) Passion for the Bible, 2) Original Worship, 3) Active Prayer, and 4) Fellowship (often with great food)... all of which were represented in the movie. They did a great job showing the discernment needed to parse showmanship from actual Spirit led praying and the split between CC and Lonnie's Vineyard group. Great question at the end, "What does this look like today?",
Calvary is a great church. My mom goes to a Calvary Chapel, and I've always appreciated their love for Jesus, love for the Bible, and for each other. The movie showed the ministry of the Holy Spirit moving through Lonnie, which was a significant factor in the revival. We say we believe in the Father, Son AND the Holy Spirit. We need the reality of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We need to receive and honor the third person of the trinity to see another revival today. We don't need to be afraid of him. He's good, he's God, and he's part of the package.
In the summer of 1971 I went to an episcopal church in riverside California where Lonnie preached on Wednesday nights. I was 17 years old. When the offering basket was passed around Lonnie said if you have money to give then put it in the basket and if you need money take what you need. He was unconventional

I like this thought but at the same time disapprove of it. While I agree that the people that can give should give and that the people that need should take from the offering, I believe we should FIRST offer up the basket to God and bless the offering in His name, THEN have the people who really need the money to come and take what the need. God first, always.
I think the hard part about it today is that sometimes reaching out to current outsiders is that they insist that you compromise the gospel, not only except their sinful lifestyle but celebrate it and if you don’t do that then they outcast you as hateful. Should we still try in a loving way and Without compromising the gospel? Absolutely!
Some people argue that the church has not recovered from the dilution of the "Jesus Movement". Celebrity pastors, emotionalism, mega churches, shallow theology etc
@@localjess838 Are you challenging the work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says “ Behold . I do something new.” Many have written on this thread how the church cat the time was dead . This was how the Holy Spirit chose to revive it. None of this had to do with what you described as a dilution.
I'm moved to tears reading so many comments from people who were saved during the Jesus movement! Someone was praying for hippies and the young people of America! Praise God He heard them and poured out His Spirit on them! 🙏🏻💗🙌🏻
Thank you for making this video. I hope and pray more folks will go to see this movie because of your review, which was brilliant. My Wife, Mother, and I saw this movie last Saturday Evening and I'm telling you there was not a dry eye in the house. I'm a 51-year old man and I walked out of there in tears. I have, in all honesty, looked at others, before, those who are dressed in a particular way, present a certain attitude, etc., and turned away from them rather than trying to talk with them about anything. Mainly, it's because I would get it wrong and end up shoving them away from me rather than enticing them to seek Jesus. There are reasons I am the way I am, I make no excuses, but beyond those I have had the opportunity to share Jesus with others, before, and have done so successfully. I am grateful for those times. This movie was, indeed, brilliantly done, and the fella who plays Lonnie seems to be of nearly a Caviezel quality when it comes to playing Jesus. I continue to hear more and more about folks turning to Christ, again, and I am grateful for this, as well; if God decides to use me to witness to others, again, in the future, I pray His Holy Spirit will provide me the right words and the strength to do it. As a combat vet I have a tendency to be both skittish and angry with civilians and that, frankly, is my issue. Thank you, again, for this review.
Just watched with my wife this past weekend! We were glued. Lots of laughter & tears throughout the theatre. When the movie ended the man sitting to my right turned to me (visibly moved) and said “I was part of the Jesus movement.…that was the most accurate depiction I’ve seen.” ❤

My favorite movie of the past ten years. Loved it. I will buy it when it comes out. I graduated high school in 77 and moved to Bakersfield and went to Calvery Chapel there in 79 and 80. The most loving church I have ever been to. Brought back a lot of memories. I used to listen to Greg Laurie on the radio. Everyone needs to see this movie, it will move you!
We saw the movie tonight. So glad we did. I was indirectly influenced by the Jesus Movement when I went to college in Philly in 1975. Like someone else commented here, we didn’t really know this was a revival at the time. I had heard the gospel preached at my parent’s church when I was 14 but couldn’t really relate (their church reminded me of Pastor Chuck’s aging church in the beginning of the movie) but when the Youth Group leader formed a youth group, he was the closest thing to a hippy I had ever seen in person (tho I really don’t think he was- he was just way cool and super fun) and he made Christianity relevant for our age group. So I would describe myself as someone who had the trickle-down-blessings of the Jesus Freaks (as we called also ourselves as a way to identify with them). I am now 66 years old and still walking with Jesus. I’m grateful for this movie and how the gospel was presented in numerous ways throughout the movie. I also HIGHLY recommend The Chosen.
I have an awesome story. One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of Jesus come down and he got right by me. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with him. I knew if I asked him to play any song he would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are by nirvana..." I turned on my radio and the song began right on the spot, perfectly. I started getting flooded on the inside like a waterfall of chills by the Holy Spirit and started crying. I got home and he stayed with me for 10 minutes til I got out of the car. Since then, I've been getting answered prayers for nearly 5 years. Many involving other people. I know many other people who get answered prayers. Praying in Jesus name and following the Biblical instructions.
Well, I have a prayer request please?! Please pray that my family who have rejected God and followed their idols, give their life to the Lord and be sold out for Christ! Thank you👐🏾
@@BlessedVivi Gladly and I highly recommend copy and pasting your prayer request on Christian channels, asking for people to have their churches keep you on their prayer lists for a couple months. If you get multiple churches praying... ✨✨✨ Please pray for me as well 🙏
@@cstechnologic9539 I had decided I would pray everyday for the rest of my life if I had to, for God to give me a powerful testimony to help people to Christ and strengthen their faith. After around 6 months or so, it happened. A while after that, I was watching a preacher on CZcams. I felt this compassion come over me by the Holy Spirit. So I prayed for him. "Father I double this man's ministry. I double his finances. I double his marital life, in Jesus holy name. Amen." The next day he released a new video. He was standing on stage for a bit, smiling. Then he said "The Lord has just doubled his ministry. He's doubled his finances and He's doubled his marital life... My heart started pounding from shock, because he was saying my exact prayer from the night before. Then later that week another prayer just as impossible was answered. It went on and on like that for months. It still happens, but, I have less stories because I quit praying for myself.
@@dc_latername9064 What does doubled his marital life means? He got 2 wives? Do you have the video of the preacher? Can you link me the video i would like to see.
I was already a believer in high school when the Jesus movement hit. It was awesome and amazing. My dad worked for the city and one day he came home with a flyer that they were having a Jesus event at the community center. I went and we all sat on the floor and they had acoustic guitars and played songs praising God in a modern way. I loved it. Our community also has a "Jesus" house where young people could go and explore the message of Christ. I have nothing but good to say about it! One church in our community jumped on it and began a youth group to embrace and disciple these new converts. We lived in central California.
@@c_nacole It was an old house that someone paid the rent for. It had people there who lived there who could talk with any youth who came in. Young people would "hang out" there. Some would bring their guitars and play. It was a place for young people to hear the gospel and to hear Christian teaching. I'm old now so I can't remember how long it was there, but eventually it did close. It had a big sign on it that said, "Jesus House."

I was moved to tears during this film several times for all of the reasons you mentioned. I kept thinking about the lost people all around us who are so lost. We’ve become so hard hearted toward the lost because their deeds are so wicked and have almost stopped seeing them as lost sinners, “sheep without a shepherd”. I don’t think this movie could have come along at a more opportune time, it changed my entire paradigm and was extremely effective.
Does the movie go over a reality where the Christian gets told by the lost, time, and time again to be left alone; that you are mentally insane to believe in a higher power, and that they don’t need a shepherd because they’re not sheep but wolves. And if you try to pray for them and help them, then they run away and shut you out of their lives completely. Because that’s my reality for why my heart is hard.
Agreed. My wife and I watched this past weekend! Lots of laughter & tears throughout the theatre. When the movie ended the man sitting to my right turned to me (visibly moved) and said “I was part of the Jesus movement.…that was the most accurate depiction I’ve seen.” It hit me seeing the way it hit him.
Such a well done movie! I totally felt the Holy Spirit all over the theater while watching this film! I was so moved at people receiving Christ, and I cried...so beautiful and moving! It made me think about all the people who are desperate, and hungry for Jesus now. How can God use me? It just takes a spark, and even when we walk 10,000 steps away from God, it is only 1 step back to His open and loving arms. Praise God!
I lived through the Jesus Movement. It was probably more like millions that came to Christ. Our Presbyterian church wouldn't budge about our traditional morning service but our pastor then created an evening one for us young folks. I loved both. In our home church we had many 20 year Olds that had left drugs, alcohol, Mormonism and other cults. We started a band and toured. The gifts of the Spirit moved powerfully!. People got delivered repented, got baptised in our pool....it was awesome.
So happy and blessed to have been a part of this movie. Made many friends while filming and we have all kept in touched, we even went to the premiere together to see it. The story is true, made with a purpose for a much needed spiritual revival, the message was simple yet powerful. Hope it brings many to Lord. ❤️✝️

I’m 71, so I was alive back then, but I lived in the middle of the country. I recall in the late sixties someone was asked to leave church because they were wearing a denim suit. Later in life, I stumbled across recordings of Chuck Smith’s biblical teaching and the teaching of other pastors of Calvary Chapel church, including the Through the Word app. I wish I had assess to the teaching when I was younger but I am grateful that it is available now. This will be the first time this year that I plan on going to a movie theater.
I too am 71 and well recall the Jesus Revolution. Love Song LPs I still have. There was much to celebrate yet the church didn't realize how many false prophets would emerge. Wolves in sheep clothing, tares among the wheat. Churches must mentor the flock and provide adequate training. Discernment is essential. I pray as this revival circles the globe and the social media becomes an evangelist.
@@cherylbean5881 God’s Prophecy is pretty clear about the many false prophets that would rise. There’s more now than ever, as these days of darkness reach higher heights & Rapture is at the door. Discernment is a gift of the Holy Spirit. It can’t always be taught. I’m praying the new Jesus Movement happening in Asbury college & now spreading to many others & even catching on across the pond, continues to thrive. Checking off yet another box for God’s End Days Prophecy to watch for.🙌 Blessings 🕊
@@cherylbean5881 careful of the false prophets, Yaval Noah har whatever his last name is is a false prophet, a lot of pastors are going to fall, remember we are all sinners and Christ 1st, no one is right 100% !! I do this so l don't get discouraged, stay in the word, even the disciples came back and had a problem with some ones teaching and Jesus said, leave him alone
Just saw the film this afternoon. Before I get into a point of discussion, for a TL;DR, I’m happy I saw it. I think it was very well made from both a film production and a Christian values standpoint (though I do wish there was a little more focus on the Lord Himself than on “the movement,” but I think I understand why they did things that way), and I would definitely recommend seeing and supporting it. It’s also so very encouraging seeing all the testimonies in this comments section!! 💛🙏 God bless all of you!! As a believer who growing up was primarily in “traditional, conservative” churches and saw a lot of church disputes and splits, the conflict in the first half of the film with the friction between the hippies and the church members (or, more accurately, the friction from *only* the church members) made me squirm a little… but I think one of the best scenes in the film was when Pastor Chuck responded to the criticism of the barefoot hippies. I don’t believe churches should necessarily change their usual form of worship and decorum for outsiders, be they fellow believers or the searching unbelievers. I’m not advocating any segregation in the Body of Christ, not remotely, but we do have different denominations for a reason. For instance, I worship in a way that sings passionately, but is otherwise very contained; I would not expect a vibrant Pentecostal church to change for me by toning down their exuberant worship. I believe the same courtesy should be extended to congregations who prefer traditional hymns and KJV Bibles, so that they are not pressured to “modernize” their services. If people want an “appealing” church, let them attend a more modern church. If they want a “reserved” church, let them attend a conservative church. Different forms of witness resonate with different hearts. As long as the Word is being preserved and the preaching is sound, let’s not force one another to worship in a way that constrains how we best commune with and glorify our Father, according to how the Spirit individually leads us. That’s why I love Pastor Chuck’s response. While I empathize with any church-goer’s discomfort at having their entire church service overhauled with music they cannot connect to, and I don’t believe anyone would be so wrong in hesitating at that, they took it beyond their discomfort and decided that if the hippies’ worship didn’t match theirs, it was unholy. They threw the babies out with the bath water, so to say. When the complaint about the carpet getting dirtied with the hippies’ bare feet came into question, Pastor Chuck had a choice. He could have said, hey, it doesn’t matter, if that’s how they want to be, they should be allowed to do whatever they want and be as dirty as they want. However, he set a precedent by washing their feet instead. They were allowed to go barefoot as they pleased, but with the caveat that they also respected the cleanliness of God’s house. Beautiful! A perfect communion between “modern” and “traditional” sensibilities, showing Jesus’ love and humility in service to bring peace to the brethren. We have to show respect to one another. As long as Christ is lifted up and glorified, and things are done in an orderly manner, this is what matters in our congregations, whatever form we take. “Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.” (Rom. 14:5) It’s too easy to harp on one another, but God has given us liberty within His Will. I’m glad the film also subtly pointed out the importance of discernment (when the worship is more for the benefit of the people than for the glory of God) and primarily checking one’s own motives to be certain that our service for God is FOR GOD and not our own preferences. When He’s at the center, great movements like this take place. And, even when we falter and try to take center stage with our desires, He STILL works wonders to glorify Himself. How faithful is our great God! 🙌
Excellent review brother👏 I plan on seeing this film if possible! I recently overheard a prominent (angry) pastor who was sharing his opinion about the Jesus movement and the film. What stood out was how he was saying that the Jesus movement did away with suits and ties and old hymn books. Hard for some to let go of tradition and embrace people where they're at in order to reach them for Christ. Many people have been turned away from Jesus because of this religiosity like Native Americans and other cultures but, that is changing praise be to God!
Spot on. I was part of the revolution I wrote a paper in high school called Is God Dead? then it appeared on Time mag cover. I treasure those days - I was raised in a Christian home and knew about Jesus but it wasn’t until I was 20 that he became my Lord
I saw this with my wife. Particularly at the baptismal scene I found myself overwhelmed, and got very choked up. I attended a church in Hong Kong in the 90s that I believe was associated with this movement, and which has been a very big influence in my spiritual life. This movie greatly reminded me of that church.
14 year old here, went to see the movie with my mother. It was truly a phenomenal thing to witness. Not only did it feel real and raw, but it also allowed me to put myself in the shoes of those I tend to judge. School can be a particularly unfriendly environment, but this movie has inspired me to approach non-christians with love, rather than condemnation. It doesn’t gloss over the struggles that come with ministry, and truly allows the watcher to understand the side of beauty, as well as the sacrifice that comes with one’s walk with god.
I came to Christ in 1972 as a result of the Jesus movement. We didn't even realize that we were in a revival. I loved the film. It brought back a lot of memories
I enjoyed the movie immensely! I was just a kid when the "Jesus Movement" exploded here in SoCal, but my oldest sister was saved in 1970 and worshipped at "The Tent" with her college friends. 4 years later I was there in the new sanctuary and surrendered my life to Jesus there at a Sunday Evening service. The movie did a really good job portraying the times and the attitudes, and more importantly, accurately portrayed the genuine movement of the Holy Spirit through the entire country that saved millions of lives, and STILL is saving lives today in churches all across the world.
I saw it twice! First time was a free screening with Greg Laurie. We had a very interactive audience with so much clapping and whooping and laughing and crying. It was SO fun! Went and saw it again in theaters. I just loved it. ❤
I was in California at that time. I met a bunch of people who were involved in the movement. It was amazing to watch what the Holy Spirit was doing in people’s lives. Spot on portrayal.
Great analysis of the film. I saw it with friends over the weekend, and with 17 of our church staff today. My mom was saved in this movement, and my first ministry to students was in a Calvary Chapel, so the film brought tears to my eyes in a very personal way, just reflecting upon God loving my mother so much when she didn't "fit in" as a young woman herself, and ultimately, saving more through my mother teaching me about Jesus as well.
I was in highschool in the mid-seventies, in Central Oregon. The Jesus Movement hit hard and touched everything. The drama department did Godspell..the entire cast got saved. They weren't even trying.
How do you know they got saved? Were they born again? Did they leave their old self behind and follow Jesus? God chooses his children, we don't choose God. And he will saved his own.
@virginiasanchez4614 Because I was there and they were my friends. I can understand your skepticism but, you just would've had have been there. That time in history was different than anything I've seen since. We had people coming to the Lord constantly. We had a Bible study in school! That ranked around a 100 kids per study. We were going to Bible studies at people's homes. We had a Bible Club that was standing room only. We would have lunch together in the cafeteria? 200 friends sitting together at a block of tables. It scared the faculty. Now we're several years out from that time? Because of the nature where I grew up, I still know many of them and could find the ones that I don't. Look up Tammy Cochran - Louris is one. She's got a podcast
When applying for a job, It was a very positive thing to list you were a Christian, in the late '70's, even in the early '80's! I haven't seen any recent applications, but can just imagine how flipped things have become! Before, being a Christian, represented that you were honest, hard working, caring, dependable etc. I remember Paul Washer or possibly Steve Lawson(?) say that in the future, Christians would be attacked and blamed for horrible things that would be lies, but people would believe these lies and Christians will be persecuted for things so foreign to who they really are, and people will be just like those who yelled crucify Jesus, and chose Barabbas. I am beginning to see how this can happen. 😢
As somebody who grew up in the church, fell into the world, and rejoined the church i can say it has helped with not judging some people but really seeking to understand them and ask them why they dont believe or choose not to and helping them realize that Jesus is actually who we were created to seek after for full fulfillment that we have hopefully all experienced
I was a young kid when this was happening. I saw hippies come into my church. In my teens, I went to Baptist camp and a lot of hippies were my counselors and mentors. I later became a staff member. I saw the movie yesterday. Definitely a dramatization and the characters were definitely flawed in real life, but aren't we all in need of salvation? Great analysis. God bless. I pray God will move across our nation and the world. Indeed He will.
I too was a Jesus freak , even before Chuck came along . This movement was much wider and deeper than what was portrayed here . I was baptized at 12 years old in 63 . As time came along , many of us knew that something was missing in church . Their had to be a real connection with God and His Word and His Love to others . After I got back from Nam , I found a group of young people who really were into Gods Word and the Truth as it is found in Jesus .I could go on and on but the point I would like to make is Chuck was just a small part of what started this movement .We saw it as the early rain of the Holy Spirit .
Wow. Amen! And Thank You for your service & sacrifice for our country.🇺🇸 That isn’t so great anymore. :/ But, as things are going, we’re outta here sooner, over later. So, see you soon, brother!🙌 Continued Blessings until.🕊
I am a Calvary Chapel pastor in Alberta Canada and was saved in a Calvary Chapel in Calgary. What took place decades ago is still producing fruit. I really enjoyed the movie, was moved by it and intrigued by what was and was not presented. Well worth watching.
I live in Nova Scotia, grew up in baptist churches in the 80’s. I had heard of the Jesus Movement, but only in vague, and not particularly positive terms. When lockdowns happened I started listening to more eschatology online, and as it turns out, most of the teachers are from a Calvary Chapel background. I appreciate their ministry so much!
Thank you for serving in your capacity over Jesus' flock. I hope you can admit that there is something flat within the CC movement that isn't producing the fruit that harvests double while the children are being ignored and not given the true word so that when they attend these brainwashing schools, they deny Christ and act like a Piper child. In the many Calvary Chapels I have attended, there is a shame from the pulpit(a cowardly fear) to call people out in their sin or even address the current demonic political structure that is sweeping the globe. If you are not openly calling out Trudeau (and all parliament) for his (their) satanic attacks on the church, then be prepared to give an account to your Master that has entrusted you with His sheep. I encourage you to be bold in the faith that has brought you out of sin and push forward towards the goal of being approved by Christ in the Day of the LORD.
I was saved at a Calvary Chapel when I lived in Las Vegas, it was almost 20 years ago and I've moved to another part of the country but I still haven't found a better biblically based church like the Calvary Chapel I attended. I learned so much about scripture every Sunday, I always felt "filled" when I left church. Thank you for serving there in Alberta, and I can't wait to see the movie. I just told my bible study about it and my connection to Calvary Chapel.

To answer your question about what people tend to get overlooked by Christians, I have been thinking about that question since I saw the movie and who God brought to mind was the lgbtq+ community. They are even similar to the hippies in a lot of ways. The line Lonnie says in the movie "they are a generation that is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places" really hits hard when I think about it. The only problem is I have no idea how Christians could even begin to reach the lgbtq+ community, but I think that we should try harder to. Because, to quote another Lonnie line, "they are like sheep without a shepherd" and "our community has shut them out".
I saw the movie and loved it. I was in rebellion in the early stages of this movement, having been genuinely saved when I was eight years old. I had drifted from the Lord as a teenager. The acting was very good and I would highly recommend seeing it. I was so moved I cried through more than half of the movie.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films. They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ. Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
I did not expect that movie to be as good as it was. I didn't know it was based on true events going into it, but that was one of the best Christian movies I've ever watched. I loved the plot, and loved it from a Christian perspective.
I haven't even seen it yet so I'll check it out. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. I really appreciate brother Jon McCray Whaddo You Meme's CZcams Apologetics ministry for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
@@Namato360 absolutely I did have a problem with the pacing though. I felt like with some scenes there could have been more dialogue but other than that I enjoyed the film
I was involved with Calvary Chapel in the 70’s and now at 73years old that time taught me to surrender my life to Christ. The washing of the word and the need to abide in Christ was a focus Chuck Smith taught was vital. We were loved but always taught truth no compromise. God delivered me from smoking I never got into drugs thank God, also some of the best Bible teachers came out of the revival.
It was a great film and not at all predictable. Gritty at times, but a realistic film that certainly captures what happened in the late 60's to early 70's. I was alive back then and it is authentic.
I personally wished there was more Chuck Smith in it. But I understand this isn’t supposed to be “the Calvary Chapel” movie. Chuck was a very important main character but much of the movie revolves around Greg Laurie and Lonnie (though I wouldn’t go so far as use word biopic). As a history nerd the period aspect I thought was done fairly well. You can really tell the people who made this really cared about what they were doing and The Gospel. Oh yeah.. The Gospel is Openly Preached in this movie. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I felt the exact same way. In a sense, it was a movie trying to tell two stories when I think it should have picked either Greg or Chuck to focus on. As a result, the movie was shallower than it could have been from a story telling POV. I got saved via Chuck smith and The Word for Today radio program and still attend a Calvary Chapel where I am, so I love how the Lord has used Chuck and the people whom Chuck inspired. A really cool sequel would be Raul Ries...talk about a divine intervention!
The one thing preventing my husband and me from going to see it was the concern that it would be too focused on Greg Laurie. He did this with the movie on Steve McQueen.
@@mattm7798 I wish the movie had focused on Chuck Smith only. That is what I was expecting and was disappointed. Because it was focused on 2 different directions, the movie felt like it was missing or glossing over key parts of the movement. I went to a Jesus People week long tent service in Kansas when I was 14 and while it had a tremendous impact on me, the abuse going on at home and no churches to attended except strict religious ones, I soon fell back into sin. God never gave up on me and 20 years later I accepted Christ as my savior.
@@queenofprops Yeah, it wasn't that the whole movie was about Greg, just than IMO it should have been about one or the other. There were alot of amazing Pastors to come out of that hippie generation(Skip Heitzig etc). Both Greg's and Chuck's story was enough to stand on it's own.
Saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Greg Laurie was my first pastor after I became a Christian in 1989. God has truly given him a gift. This film is really needed now, and I pray that many young people see it and change their lives.
I thought the movie was INCREDIBLE! Brought a lot of tears thinking about when I was lost and how by His grace I've been saved. There should be no greater desire in Christians than to see others be saved. The movie was a home run - going to see it again this weekend and bringing others with me. It was that good!
Great Review and observations! I accepted Christ in 1971 and was marvelously saved in Southern California but knew nothing about Lonnie. I had family members along the entire west coast and when I traveled to visit them I met people who looked me in the eye and said that the Jesus movement originated at their church. They really meant it. I observed a geographically wide outpouring of Grace. Grace to come into His presence, get delivered and empowered to serve. Gifts manifesting even before much fruit had even matured (Whole other topic) From what I’ve learned since Lonnie had a huge part of promoting that outpouring but the movement did not depend on him as some are saying. Lastly I will say our church had the same circumstances as Pastor Chuck’s church where the hippies displaced a tithing congregation. There were a few elderly people who stayed with us who recognized this as a move of God. The pastor would invite them up to give a word to the young people and everyone of them said the SAME thing which guides me to this day…. Fasten your eyes on Jesus, Not on men, Not on self, Stay in the word, Love and obey Him, Abide.
Thank you for your remarkable testimony and observations gleaned from that time and place. I just saw the movie tonight, and it was amazing! How wonderful to hear your account of God's "presence, deliverance, and power to serve" falling on people in various locales, simultaneously! I love that many had the experience of "the Jesus Movement starting at their church." It has created in my mind's eye an image of the Holy Spirit of God falling on people up and down the California coast. How great would it be to have others retell their stories of the outpouring of the Spirit at that time. ✝
Thank you@@theresap3467 It was fun sharing my experience especially since I noticed this broad outpouring aspect was not part of many retellings of that time. I was not part of the “name it and claim it” Faith movement but Holy Spirit directed me to pray specifically and persistently. That if I put His Kingdom first I could ask what I desired and be prepared for Yes, No or Wait a While. I’m not perfect but I have persisted and seen and still do see miracles and the supernatural through my life. With this thought in mind I’m passing a Torch to you Theresa. You said that my report about statewide revival planted a picture in your mind’s eye and it would great to hear from others about their experiences. I agree. More important than the past however is the present. If you’re interested, go to a quiet area and leave all distractions, your phone etc. behind. Envision in your mind revival coming to your region..what would it look like? Widespread deliverances? Reconciliation? Testimonies from atheists? Healings, Visions? The Book of Acts reenacted near you? Apologies or reconnections? Or the opposite, forsaking relationships that will block growth in Christ? Flesh out the details of what you imagine could happen and bring it before the Father in prayer. Ask Him to show you a few things you can do to facilitate revival in your home. He will. This is how a mini revivals starts and triggers other fires. A few people are fire starters. They may be weak and not very influential but that does not matter. All that matters is the size of their faith in a BIG FATHER. The Torch I’m passing you is only this; to seek Him about these things and wait on Him and be willing to say yes when He leads you. Father God thank you for Theresa’s heart and her desire to look deeper into the things of Heaven and the move of your Spirit. I ask you to guide her into a unique revival that is tailored to her. Bless Her gifts, May she be touched with that flame from Heaven that lights not only her path, but inspires those around her. If she believes she is too small or not qualified to usher in a move of your Spirit show her otherwise in your wild and wonderful ways! Surprise Her Lord. In Jesus name amen!
Grew up in Calvary Chapel, and got to hear Chuck Smith preach at a few churches and often listened to him on radio. He was such a fantastic man and genuine follower of Jesus, breaking through the cultural barriers to show Christ. Really paved a good path for the gospel to reach the unreached of his day. Thanks for sharing this one, I've gotta check this out.
The guy with whom I had the amazing opportunity to act out a baptism scene by carrying into the water asked me where the real Greg is after we were done filming that very scene in order to undergo a *real* baptism off camera - and from what I’m hearing from others within the Harvest inner circle (i.e. Greg’s son Jonathan) he wasn’t the only one. This film was being used by God even before it was finished, and glad to see that you too enjoyed it.
Re: 8:05 - Today’s “hippies” are rave-goers. That’s why I’ve been a Christian EDM artist for the past 3 years: because I have the same desire to reach them that Chuck and Lonnie had to reach their lost.
@@suetucker9264 Can’t wait to get it too. So I can watch it w/many others who didn’t get to see it, b/c as usual, so few Christian movies play here. I was willing to make the 2 hr trek, but my car was having issues. Goes to the shop tomorrow. :/ Others got sick, or couldn’t make it for other reasons. Frustrating for us forgotten ppl here in no God’s land. :/
Just saw the movie with my wife. After the movie was over and we were eating dinner at home and talking about it. Then I said I want to get the movie in dvd..😀
I saw it. When we got our seats there was just 2 seats left to choose from. It was great. I became a Christian in '71 and I give this movement credit for leading me to Christ.
Movie of the year for me! I took my children, 24, 13 and 8 who have all been raised in the Faith and we cried the entire time. It was a very humbling and eye opening film. At the same time displayed multiple reminders of God's love and empathy towards His people. The way scripture and the Bible was a part of the film made me say Amen outloud during the movie multiple times. I walked out of there saying to myself that "if Jesus stays close to, calls on and loves the broken, then I never want to be fixed so I can remain near him and his presence at all times!". The applause of the audience after the film was epic. I loved this film and I am so glad my 13 year old asked if we could all watch it. We live in the OC so it was also neat to see areas we frequent: Balboa Island, Laguna, Newport, etc... To know we live in an area that birthed one of the biggest Christian revivals is a blessing. No wonder, it's considered one of the happiest places in the nation. There are so many Christian churches here... We are definitely going to check out Harvest's services. I bet praise and worship will be awesome. And I'm certain I will cry as soon as I step through the door as I did the movie. God is good and this film was such a blessing to my soul. Watch it, if you haven't yet. Thank you, Jesus- Amen 🙏❤️
I attend Calvary Chapel in Enid Oklahoma. I came to Christ through the same church. I loved the movie. Only problem I have is that the true movement was Pastor Chuck's teaching the Bible. Line by line, verse by verse. We teach Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
I took my wife and kids to the movies last Thursday night i for some reason got the day off and i work nights so it was perfect timing because i wanted to go see it so bad and oh boy it was great!! I’ve always been very skeptical about Christian movies but i had a feeling about this one and yes!! My twelve year old daughter was impacted in a very passionate way for Jesus through this movie and that is priceless!! Absolutely worth every penny is a must 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have tickets to see movie Friday! With my 36 yo daughter. The heart of the Jesus movement seemed to be in my pre-teens and my parents were the type of Christians from the original congregation. I saw myself and my older siblings turning away from Jesus rather than to Him. Thankfully we have all returned!! Thank you for your insight... I'm more excited to go now.
I saw the movie. It showed sinful living, but kept it clean. The audience was very encouraged after the movie, raising their hands and saying amen. Take a lost friend to see it❤️
But Lonnie died of Aides due to continuing sinful living. I do not see how that shows the power of Christ to break bondages. Perhaps no one is looking further at their lives than the movie.
@@shelleyd9910 from what I heard. He experienced with a gay lifestyle, but turned away from it AND he said he had to live out the rest of his life with the consequences. Like most of us, we screwed up early in life and now have to live with things❤️
I was part of the hippie culture and then part of the Jesus movement. The movie did a good job of portraying that time and the movement. And you did a good job of analyzing the movie. Thanks!
I saw the film with my family on Sunday.We loved it! I was ateenaget in the late seventies, and it really brought back some memories of the fashion and music of he day. I always listened to Calvary Chapel services on the radio, and in 1984 my husband and I attended a church service and heard Chuck Smith preach when we were visiting California. My husband and I have followed Jesus for many years, and we are praying that his film helps to draw many people to Him. Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we can be saved!
I was a young girl during the Jesus movement and I have many memories of that time. It was actually the Jesus movement that made me leave my Lutheran Church and try to find God in other ways. I very much wanted my belief to help me navigate the world I was moving into as a teen, and was not finding that at all in the Lutheran church. In fact, the only thing I liked about that church was the hymns and singing. When I was around 14 or so, it was discovered that the married pastor of the church was having an affair with a married congregant. I was just old enough to know that was not representative of the whole church, but young enough to be so offended that for a time, I felt very weird and alone for being outside of the world, and outside of the church, too. I didn't want what the world wanted me to have. I wanted what Jesus was offering and didn't understand. Such a troubling time for me, that lasted well into my 20s. Finally came back to the church in my 40s and have been growing in faith ever since.
I wished the film would’ve highlighted what a good teacher Pastor Chuck was. He focused on very sound and down to earth teaching from the Bible verse by verse and it focus so much on Lonnie frisbee who was just a flash in the pan. Certainly he was instrumental in Greg Laurie’s conversion, and was around for the first year and a half or so what made Calvary Chapel distinctive was that they were not overly emotional and did have solid teaching
So happy this movie was made and glad to hear your review on it. I was in Pastor Chuck's church for the last few years of his life and have been at Calvary Churches ever since. Great to see how and why it all started. Also agree and glad to see the quality of Christian movies is trending upwards.
I have became a believer at a Calvary chapel. The movie is a reminder that we can and will struggle with our faith. I went to Harvest and local Calvarys. I appreciate the honesty of their testimony. It’s life it’s a struggle and there is hope and beauty in returning to your first love.
Beautifully said. This was a really good breakdown of what the movie is trying to portray. Well done. I am now 65 and can remember the uproar and challenges of that time. It changed everything! Thank you for speaking on behalf of this movie.
I was in grade school during this era. I am now being greatly affected by the teachings of Calvary Chapel churches. I love the way they present the gospel. Many Calvary chapel churches are scattered over the country and if there is not one close to where you live, they can be viewed on social media , You tube. We can thank Covid for escalating online access!!
I had the pleasure of listening to Papa Chuck at "Big Cavalry" in Costa Mesa for about a year before he went to be with Jesus. I came to Christ during a dark and difficult time in my life. Chuck Smith did the Lord's work here on earth.
My Church went and saw the movie, beautiful memories brought back to me!!! I lived in that time and it was in NO. CALIFORNIA as well, so it truly was a movement that started a revolution indeed!!! I am praying for another revival again, for such a time as this! He is coming again, believe it, there is hope that is not of this world, the kind of Salvation and Eternal life awaiting those who believe on the name of Jesus Christ and walk with Him. There truly is only One Way, one path that leads to one door, but there are many different paths and doors that this world offers, but they are false, and you will have walked in vain. One true door, through the blood of our Savior, shed for all of our sins, who believe in Him, repent and turn direction from the path they were on. Our Bible, the word of God is our compass, not the GPS!!!🙏☝️🤲 🫶❤️🕊
Saw the film on Saturday. I loved it. The youth of today are lookin for love acceptance, peace, and justice like the hippies of yesteryear. It's time to open our home, heart, and church saying, "Come let us reason together."
Anytime wether it’s a movie or CZcams channel as long as it brings lost sheep to Christ it’s a great day.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are so right about us needing to respond more like Jesus than the Pharisees when it comes to people not in our comfort zone! I’ve been praying about this, and I’ve started by praying for those who are far out of my comfort zone as well as others that are not. I also pray that God will provide me with opportunities to speak with the same, and in some way, witness to them!
My wife and I used to attend Pastor Chuck's church back in the day. He truly was the example of a man who loved God and reached out to everyone without regard to social status. He never pointed to himself, but always pointed to Jesus. He is no longer with us, but I believe what he accomplished in Jesus name will live on through the many lives he touched. Haven't seen the movie yet, but am looking forward to it.
I lived through this age and it was exciting. We were raising young families and didn't have to deal w/church traditions. We just did church. After 40 years serving God Pastor Greg is now my Senior Pastor as I enjoy retirement. As an Old guy I still believe in not holding the young back as our worship & ministry evolves. Greater days always lie ahead, not behind.
I was 12 years old when this hit back in the 70s, and our family got the "Fallout" of the Spirit from some folks in Colorado who had come from Calvary Chapel! I was already a Christian (having had a deep experience of Christ) but this movement set our entire family on fire... I cried so many times during this movie since it brought back so much for me! We had Chuck's bible study tapes and I still have the Love Song vinyl from the early 70s... I also jumped when I saw Greg's "Jesus Comic" that he put out and those tracts, which I had... So thankful for this movie! I finally met Chuck in the 90's when on business travel in Orange County... What an incredibly humble man!
This is a GREAT movie! Scripture is quoted often & you can feel the power & truth behind it. So many emotional scenes, not because they were trying to play with our emotions, but because God's love is just that amazing! I was definitely teary-eyed through almost all of it. It showed some of the struggles & flaws of the people...just underlining that this was a move of God, while also using His people! "Do it again Lord!" It increases my faith, because I DO think that God is on the move again!
This is the best movie I have seen in a few years. I was born again when the Jesus Movement made its way to Texas in 1973. That was 50 years ago! It was a movement like I've never seen in my life...I hope we see it again... The atmosphere feels right. Thanks for your post!
For someone like me who lived through this time, the movie was stunning, emotional, and caused my hope in the possibility of true revival to become even greater. The movie was needed. For more perspective on Lonnie, please watch Ruslan’s commentary on those who would try to appropriate his story for dark purposes.
@Enlightened Perry Exactly. Unfortunately, so many Christians are caught up in sensationalism because they're hooked on a feeling instead of the facts in Gods word.
@@lemongate4869 Knowledge of Scripture is critically important, as you say. It is truly difficult sometimes to sort these things out. Some are obvious and some more ambiguous…I bet by now Greg Laurie has seen most of it.
I understand the movie was about the Jesus Revolution, but maybe someone will do a movie of Lonnie's life based on the books written by Roger Sachs. So many do not know about his life and how the Lord uses sinners (there are many that fell from grace only to be restored unto God in the end in the Bible e.g. Samson) as was Lonnie, but he was a mighty instrument in the revolution and traveled the world leading thousands to Jesus. He was reconciled in the of his life and never stopped loving Jesus. I believe his story is for such a time as this for this present generation.
I was always a Christian most of my life but never had a “home church” until a friend took my brother and myself to Calvary Chapel Ft Lauderdale 25 years ago. You couldn’t go a week without hearing of Chuck Smith then it tapered off and I didn’t realize it until I saw the movie. It is a wonderful, uplifting film with several poignant moments. Moments that say we need another Jesus Movement or Revolution, more now than ever before. You can clearly see people are lost and looking for something but they don’t know what & since there isn’t anything/anyone like Chuck Smith maybe this movie will lead them to Jesus. It is well done and in such a way that maybe it will speak to the lost.
My husband and I went to see the movie last weekend. We love Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie. I didn’t know it was about Greg Laurie when I saw the trailer on TV. When I was a new Christian in the 79’s, I listened to Chuck Smith on the radio almost every day. I loved his down-to-earth teaching. I was also a member of the Vineyard movement, but had never heard the story of Lonnie Frisbee. Don’t miss this one! 8:338:33
Will you be seeing the film? If you've already seen it, leave your thoughts below!

Greg Laurie does not believe in the baptism of speaking in tongues that's why I stopped following him. I started following Greg on radio at work place in 80s
AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊
@@Diesel44 That has absolutely nothing to do with salvation.🤷♂️
I couldn't imagine,
How do you recommend us to see.
We can see bare eyes those hidden twist and emotional bitterness.
you forget to tell about hidden symbolism.
this movie was garbage from believers point of view.
this movie promotes catholocism. Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie(Romie/Rome) symbolize final pope or antichrist.
I surrendered my life to Jesus @ Calvary Chapel in 1970 and was baptized in Pirates Cove with about 200 other new believers. I continue to walk with Jesus, after more than 50 years, because of this ministry. I was not a hippy, but a young teenager hungry for truth. God is good.
Yay!! Thanks for sharing!!✝️📖🙏🏻❤️
Me too!
I was baptized there as well by Chuck Smith.
Wow!, I was a little young in those days but still witnessed first hand how the movement influenced the entire country, not just CA, but even the remote back woods.
Praise God!!
I was a part of it in the 70’s! It was chaotic and joyful. I realize now the chaos isn’t good. But I was raised by Atheists, and I went to check out the music………….and ran to Jesus Christ. We all loved each other so much! We were barefoot hippies part of the flower power generation. I would NEVER have gone into an uncool “churchy church.” 😂 which is exactly where God led me too eventually.
Same here!
What?! Ya'll don't have Cowboy Church?!
Your generation is the worst in American history, but I'm glad you came accepted Jesus and are now serving God.
Well God bless you every day of your life
Going to Corona Del Mar beach for baptisms was fun
Just took 12 people to see this beautiful film, not a dry eye in the theater, my friends wept and gave there life to Christ right in the parking lot, others expressed there desire to go back to church again...Glory to God!!!
Amen to that brother!!!! 🙌🙌
Wow
Just the kind of news I wanna hear!
Lie.
That movie, in a very good way, resurrected memories and emotions that I had not felt for a very long time. I was a college student in Minnesota during the mid-70's. My girlfriend at the time lead me to Christ after she became a Christian. My life totally changed. I was set free from drugs, weed and alcohol. Now, I'm no longer in bondage for almost 50 years. I immediately started telling my buddies about Jesus. Some came to Christ others thought I was crazy. By God's grace I have hung in there with the Lord. The movie is true, we at that time looking for answers in all the wrong places. I am telling my kids if they want to understand me and the love and power of Christ, see the movie.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films.
They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ.
Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
Praise God!
That's so wonderful and congrats on so many years of sobriety. I celebrate 5 years sober tomorrow the 7th of March. Although I've loved Jesus most of my life, I didn't start seeking Him until last summer. I wish I had followed Jesus a long time ago but I'm truly grateful I do now. God Bless you 😁
God bless you. I was in high school and caught a renewed faith at that time. I remember having a "Reachout" Bible on my desk and the hippy dude behind me tapped my shoulder wanting to look at it. The teacher came stomping down the aisle to correct the whispering and when she realized what was going on, she turned around and walked back to her desk like she didn't see or hear anything. What a classy lady. Today's teachers would be acting crazy.
Exactly the same for me as well. nearly 50 years ago, I was confronted by a 'Jesus Hippie' who was going to Calvary Chapel. I gave my life to Christ and was set free from weed and alcohol addictions as well. I was baptized in Pirates Cove and have been walking with Jesus ever since.
I was in high school during the early ‘70s and was part of this movement. Unfortunately, I saw a lot of people “trying too hard” with the gifts to the point people were faking it trying to get that high. It turned me off and I ended up leaving the church for many years. Thankfully God never gave up on me and I now have a deep relationship with Jesus.
Have you seen the movie? There was a part when Chuck addressed that type situation. I like how it was handled and portrayed.
Praise God Bill! so happy you are back. I was saved in the mid 80's and saw some of what you describe in the church. As you probably know, that's why the Vineyard split from the Calvary movement because they wanted a ministry that was more gift focused.
Amen. L'chaim from Jerusalem

Amen, Joanne, I was a hippy too (maybe still 😂) but this movement is what drew me to Jesus. The love between us all was breathtaking. We never wanted to go home. ❤️

I haven't even seen Jesus Revolution yet but I'll check it out. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. I really appreciate brother Jon McCray Whaddo You Meme's CZcams Apologetics ministry for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
That's one thing about that 'movement' and
what followed after...
Those that the Lord called
and saved in those days
STAYED convicted
in the faith,
and did not deviate.
I was a teenager in the early 1970s and gave my life to Jesus, mainly as a result of the Jesus movement. I attended Bible studies put on by some "saved hippies." I had been kind of a "hippie wannabe." I have now been walking with Jesus around 50 years and my life was totally transformed from what it was. I won't lie, I cried my way through that movie because I feel so far from the purity of joy and love for Jesus that I and other new believers experienced. The culture war, political polarization (in my own family as well), and fear of the results of our nation's fall away from God have taken my eyes off the glorious face of Jesus and have robbed me of my thankful heart for His grace and my joy in serving Him. I pray His Spirit is doing another big work like He did in the 1970s but no matter what happens, I will continue walking with Him until I see His face!
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films.
They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ.
Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
@@TedEhioghae the Jesus Revolution did not have Jesus in it. It was set in the 1970s and there was a guy who wore long hair and a beard, but his name was.Lonnie and he didn't claim to be Christ.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2
Keep running the race, brother! 💪🏽
Thank you for sharing. When you mentioned feeling far from the people in the movie and their deep spiritual connection, the culture war etc- that stood out to me. It's exactly what I have suffered to more and more extremes the last decade.
I am an ostracized whistleblower of horrific abuse and corruption in my field of work as a youth mentor and generally in empowerment, liberation on similar themes of the people joining the Jesus Movement, but in a non religious context.
I've also lost many friends over the years to extreme Social Justice, which is a religion, not a political worldview. It is a Godless religion without connection to the spiritual realm; it is abusive to ALL who are subjected to it. Some of us are called oppressors, some are called oppressed. The ideologues try to force us into this caste system and keep us imprisoned there. They are extremely anti human and bigoted against white people and men. But in another sense bigoted against the "oppressed" groups.
When I saw Jesus Revolution I cried harder than in many years of my life. I told a therapist about what was profound in it and when I recalled the scene of Pastor Smith washing the hippies' feet I couldn't speak, i got so emotional. This is because that and multiple other scenes showed this real, deep human acceptance that was courageous and vulnerable. And seeing that I was shocked because I have witnessed and experienced such deep hostility, callous cruelty and severance in my home culture and life generally.
The revelations I'm having are making it so painfully clear how severed people are from the source of life, the spiritual realm, and each other. How isolated and locked up in their trauma people are. How many are seeking truth and liberation in lies and ideology that is fundamentally opposed to liberation. I am discovering my life's mission on this path to create refuge for ostracized people like the hippies, like myself and my friends. To create refuge for genuine connection and deep healing 🙏😇
@@elshaddai87 I have been going through the America is falling away from God thoughts rather than getting closer to the Lord also, and have lost much joy of the Lord because my focus was more on what is happening in the world rather than my relationship with God. Recently I been seeking the Lord more and getting closer to Him. Praise God.
I think, like many movements, revivals, and things like that for the Lord, will lead to some Christian conversions, as God will be where His word and ways are being spoken. Even if it isn't much more than basic doctrine.
But none recently have changed the course of the nation, as some did in the past. It changed the course of the nation, because it changed many people.
Recently, the revivals change some people with very little impact on the country.
There are false doctrines in the recent revivals, as well as truth, yet thank God, some get truly saved and go to godly churches.
It's better than nothing, which is what most churches are doing.
God will judge right.
With deep regret, I had been walking away from my religious background while this awakening happened. It took another 9 years to turn around and come fully to the Lord. It was great to see how this movie portrayed this movement, and I share prayer in my church for another, if final, awakening. I won't miss the next one. Hallelujah! Maranatha!
My wife and I saw “The Jesus Revolution” yesterday. We received Jesus on 1/15/75.
We were 23 at the time.
There was a great move of the Spirit across denominations, and the hunger for Jesus was palpable.
This movie moved us to tears several times, as we recalled the faithfulness of Jesus, calling us out of darkness into his marvelous light. I heartily recommend this movie. Thank you for your cogent review.🔥🙏🏽🔥
i cant wait to see it!! yes the testimony of pastor greg laurie!!
Thank you for building up faith and not tearing what other's are trying hard to build
I saw it and I'd see it again.

I loved this movie! My husband of 33 years is not a Christian, and I showed him part of the trailer (where ‘Lonnie’ says, “this house has a very good vibe” 😂). I bought two tickets and told him he was invited if he’d like to go. I was floored when he said he would! (Very uncharacteristic). As we were driving to the movie, he told me his friends at work were asking which movie we were going to and he didn’t know. I looked at him incredulously and said, “you really don’t know? I told you about it … it’s called Jesus Revolution and it’s about the big revival of the 70s”. I’m sure he was thinking what did I get myself into 😅. Well- long story short, he actually really liked it! he laughed a lot, and felt for the characters too. He thought it was well done and didn’t feel preached at. I’m telling you, if my hubby liked it, that’s saying something! Don’t be afraid to share it with your friends ❤
All it takes is the seed of the Word with the Holy Ghost working coupled with a measure of openness on the part of the sinner/unbeliever.
M P I stand with you for your husband in whom God is already doing a work;
A marvelous revelation of God’s love, deliverance from any lies,
power to serve and see with the mind of Christ,
Healing where needed,
Great peace!
Let it be so Lord.

Just don't let him fall into the pagan holidays of this world like Easter and Christmas which is Pagan! only the Bible has the true Holy Days. Nimrod was born on December 25th. and Jesus was born in the Spring.
I saw the movie the other day. I was already familiar with the story. I've been attending Calvary Chapel for close to 30 years now. This is a fantastic movie. The theme you talked about is the central one. However there is another one I feel is just as important. Greg Laurie touched on it during an interview about the movie. That theme is that God can and does use flawed people. No one in this movie is portrayed as perfect or even close to it and I'm glad. Having battled and beat an addiction because of the power of Christ I can personally attest to this theme. I am simply a sinner saved by grace.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films.
They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ.
Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
@@TedEhioghae This isn't a "Jesus Christ" film. It's a true story about the start of the Jesus movement and Calvary Chapel. I think you're confusing this with another movie.
I kept wondering why the name Greg Laurie was so familiar. Our ladies leader sends us a devotion by text each morning and Greg Laurie is still working.

I'm 71 yrs old now, but I remember the movement. I wrote many Christian songs and I remember the apprehension of the church body when I brought my beat up guitar into the sanctuary for Sunday morning service and sang and played. I wasn't a "hippie" per se, but to some members, anything other than an organ playing was "sacrilege". From there, others brought new songs and music to the church and it was eventually embraced by most. Even the "traditional" Christmas program had guitars playing "Silent Night". It was a wonderful time of development for myself and for the Christian faith in general.
i was the overnight guard at the jesus revolution movie .. i had to watch the houses overnight where they left all their equipment and i must say they put their all into that movie and im proud of them .. to see how far it came is amazing 🤩 and to see all the places i watched overnight actually on the movie screens and it being a succcess warms my heart …they was so nice to me too! it was so cold those nights and they told me i could go in the house and hang out if i wanted to long as i made my rounds …i made a few friends with cast but i don’t remember their names it was a fun time .. i loved how the house in fairhope looked inside it was so beautiful like i was really back in the 70’s from the furniture to their wardrobe its was so cohesive and thought out … it was long drive there but it was worth it and im glad i got to experience it first hand i know jesus led me there

@Rick Davis I was wondering too what this video would be.
After hearing this commentary, I am interested in seeing the movie.

Great take. I’d hope we see something similar today. Meeting people where they are before demanding where they should be is the foundation. This movie was a great reminder

Very well said :)

@@justingary5322 : Very well put together. I agree with you on every point, which is rare and rather nice. I too see evidence of speciation and micro evolution (meaning adaptation), since we have so many species of each animal. The Ark clearly didn't carry two of each and every species, so they must have had their changes come from adaptations to their environment.
By the way, read the Book of Enoch, at least the beginning. Some parts are not accurate (for example, there really are no female angels - every last one of them would look clearly male). I found this out by enquiring of God directly. Therefore, it becomes clear that the text is not fully reliable. However, I sincerely believe (also based on direct inquiries of God) that there were angels that left their first estate and took physical forms in order to mate with human women (Genesis 6). The purpose of this was to corrupt human DNA, until our entire race was no longer made in God's image. Noah's genetics remained pure (Genesis 6:9 - BLAMELESS in his generations). I also believe that the Mark of the Beast will successfully accomplish this genetic corruption in all who take it. Why bother? I have a theory.
I believe that the enemy is attempting to create a 'pocket of evil' - a place where God will have no legal right to intervene. Dominion of this planet was handed to Man. What if every single human were altered to be completely under satan's utter and absolute control, inside and out? Those who refuse the Mark are exterminated. What if every voice on the entire planet declares satan as ruler and God is not to have any authority here? What would that accomplish spiritually? Would God have no more authority in His own Creation? Would God's own righteousness force Him to follow such dictates? I'm not entirely sure. But since the enemy does not have anywhere near the power to force God out by strength, he would have to do it by making it that God would have to violate His own righteousness in order to dethrone satan (and God will NEVER violate His own righteousness - EVER). This would create a "zone" where the enemy would be safe from the Lake of Fire Judgment. Since brute power has zero chance, I have to believe that the enemy's endgame has to do with legally being made safe from ever being brought to Judgment.
Why would he bother working so hard to corrupt this world, and even our genome, if it didn't profit him in some way? And what does he fear the most? I personally have felt demons flee when speaking Revelation 20:10 out loud JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SPEAK THE WORD "TORMENT". I consider this quite telling. There is terror in their ranks of that particular Judgment. However, I was in a fight once with a very powerful demon where that scripture did not seem to affect it at all. When I switched to using the Blood of Jesus against it there were definite results. I could feel it "screaming" in a sense, in the spirit. I have wondered about this, but I do not have revelation yet. The only thought I've had that might be from the Lord is that this powerful evil demon does not believe Revelation 20:10, and therefore it wasn't affecting it in a desired manner. Or perhaps I just couldn't sense it. Not sure. Anyways, my whole point is that this is a source of great fear for at least some of them, and the devil himself knows that Jesus is FAR more powerful than he is. Therefore I believe that the enemy must be trying to make it so that God will HAVE TO leave him alone. That's my theory so far. Just thought that I would share my thinking with you. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Peace and love brother.
I was saved during the Jesus movement in mid 70s. A number of my coworkers were saved within a span of a few months. It's been years since I've seen that many salvations. At the time, I thought that was just normal for the spread of the Gospel in the U.S.. Didn't know a revival was going on. I pray it will be so again.
What do you consider saved? Only God can save you, were you born again or did you keep doing the things you did before? Just wondering. God chooses his children, its through his grace we have been saved.
@@virginiasanchez4614 What is your point? I could ask you the same question. Are you saved?
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.

God do it again…….
I saw it last night with my friends from my Bible study group. Most of us are old enough to remember this and one woman was actually involved in the Jesus movement. She had even attended the Jesus Expo in 1972 which was held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. For her the movie was very personal.
Tonight our youth group is going to see it. I’m praying it speaks to them, especially my grandkids.
I went to Explo 72 in Dallas too. It was amazing.
I accepted Christ June 15, 1972 when Billy Graham gave his sermon.
I also have an album of the music that was recorded at Explo 72. An incredible experience.

Real Christians should only read the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible.
The rest versions change, add and/or remove from the verses.
I would much rather see church youth groups see this and more movies like this than some of the demonic movies that some church youth leaders have taken their groups to go see.
@@TedEhioghae I do read the KJV.
I'm currently a pastor in the very active Calvary Chapel Movement, we still see the same 1) Passion for the Bible, 2) Original Worship, 3) Active Prayer, and 4) Fellowship (often with great food)... all of which were represented in the movie. They did a great job showing the discernment needed to parse showmanship from actual Spirit led praying and the split between CC and Lonnie's Vineyard group. Great question at the end, "What does this look like today?",
Watch Good fight ministries review
Calvary is a great church. My mom goes to a Calvary Chapel, and I've always appreciated their love for Jesus, love for the Bible, and for each other. The movie showed the ministry of the Holy Spirit moving through Lonnie, which was a significant factor in the revival. We say we believe in the Father, Son AND the Holy Spirit. We need the reality of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. We need to receive and honor the third person of the trinity to see another revival today. We don't need to be afraid of him. He's good, he's God, and he's part of the package.
Are you cc global or cc network?
In the summer of 1971 I went to an episcopal church in riverside California where Lonnie preached on Wednesday nights. I was 17 years old. When the offering basket was passed around Lonnie said if you have money to give then put it in the basket and if you need money take what you need. He was unconventional

I like this thought but at the same time disapprove of it. While I agree that the people that can give should give and that the people that need should take from the offering, I believe we should FIRST offer up the basket to God and bless the offering in His name, THEN have the people who really need the money to come and take what the need. God first, always.
I think the hard part about it today is that sometimes reaching out to current outsiders is that they insist that you compromise the gospel, not only except their sinful lifestyle but celebrate it and if you don’t do that then they outcast you as hateful. Should we still try in a loving way and Without compromising the gospel? Absolutely!
Some people argue that the church has not recovered from the dilution of the "Jesus Movement".

No compromise. Sin is death. And the gospel is the gospel. Approaching with love and wisdom and joining us in songs for Jesus, yes!

Thank you for making this video. I hope and pray more folks will go to see this movie because of your review, which was brilliant. My Wife, Mother, and I saw this movie last Saturday Evening and I'm telling you there was not a dry eye in the house. I'm a 51-year old man and I walked out of there in tears. I have, in all honesty, looked at others, before, those who are dressed in a particular way, present a certain attitude, etc., and turned away from them rather than trying to talk with them about anything. Mainly, it's because I would get it wrong and end up shoving them away from me rather than enticing them to seek Jesus. There are reasons I am the way I am, I make no excuses, but beyond those I have had the opportunity to share Jesus with others, before, and have done so successfully. I am grateful for those times.
This movie was, indeed, brilliantly done, and the fella who plays Lonnie seems to be of nearly a Caviezel quality when it comes to playing Jesus.
I continue to hear more and more about folks turning to Christ, again, and I am grateful for this, as well; if God decides to use me to witness to others, again, in the future, I pray His Holy Spirit will provide me the right words and the strength to do it. As a combat vet I have a tendency to be both skittish and angry with civilians and that, frankly, is my issue.
Thank you, again, for this review.
Just watched with my wife this past weekend! We were glued. Lots of laughter & tears throughout the theatre. When the movie ended the man sitting to my right turned to me (visibly moved) and said “I was part of the Jesus movement.…that was the most accurate depiction I’ve seen.” ❤

My favorite movie of the past ten years. Loved it. I will buy it when it comes out. I graduated high school in 77 and moved to Bakersfield and went to Calvery Chapel there in 79 and 80. The most loving church I have ever been to. Brought back a lot of memories. I used to listen to Greg Laurie on the radio. Everyone needs to see this movie, it will move you!
Greg’s still on the radio daily.
Here on YT, too. :)
We saw the movie tonight. So glad we did. I was indirectly influenced by the Jesus Movement when I went to college in Philly in 1975. Like someone else commented here, we didn’t really know this was a revival at the time. I had heard the gospel preached at my parent’s church when I was 14 but couldn’t really relate (their church reminded me of Pastor Chuck’s aging church in the beginning of the movie) but when the Youth Group leader formed a youth group, he was the closest thing to a hippy I had ever seen in person (tho I really don’t think he was- he was just way cool and super fun) and he made Christianity relevant for our age group. So I would describe myself as someone who had the trickle-down-blessings of the Jesus Freaks (as we called also ourselves as a way to identify with them). I am now 66 years old and still walking with Jesus. I’m grateful for this movie and how the gospel was presented in numerous ways throughout the movie. I also HIGHLY recommend The Chosen.
I have an awesome story.
One time I was driving home and I felt the presence of Jesus come down and he got right by me. I started getting chills and I felt so comfortable with him.
I knew if I asked him to play any song he would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are by nirvana..."
I turned on my radio and the song began right on the spot, perfectly.
I started getting flooded on the inside like a waterfall of chills by the Holy Spirit and started crying. I got home and he stayed with me for 10 minutes til I got out of the car.
Since then, I've been getting answered prayers for nearly 5 years. Many involving other people. I know many other people who get answered prayers. Praying in Jesus name and following the Biblical instructions.
Well, I have a prayer request please?! Please pray that my family who have rejected God and followed their idols, give their life to the Lord and be sold out for Christ! Thank you👐🏾
@@BlessedVivi Gladly and I highly recommend copy and pasting your prayer request on Christian channels, asking for people to have their churches keep you on their prayer lists for a couple months.

@@cstechnologic9539 I had decided I would pray everyday for the rest of my life if I had to, for God to give me a powerful testimony to help people to Christ and strengthen their faith. After around 6 months or so, it happened.
A while after that, I was watching a preacher on CZcams. I felt this compassion come over me by the Holy Spirit. So I prayed for him. "Father I double this man's ministry. I double his finances. I double his marital life, in Jesus holy name. Amen."
The next day he released a new video. He was standing on stage for a bit, smiling. Then he said "The Lord has just doubled his ministry. He's doubled his finances and He's doubled his marital life...
My heart started pounding from shock, because he was saying my exact prayer from the night before.
Then later that week another prayer just as impossible was answered. It went on and on like that for months. It still happens, but, I have less stories because I quit praying for myself.

I was already a believer in high school when the Jesus movement hit. It was awesome and amazing. My dad worked for the city and one day he came home with a flyer that they were having a Jesus event at the community center. I went and we all sat on the floor and they had acoustic guitars and played songs praising God in a modern way. I loved it. Our community also has a "Jesus" house where young people could go and explore the message of Christ. I have nothing but good to say about it! One church in our community jumped on it and began a youth group to embrace and disciple these new converts. We lived in central California.
Can you tell me more about this Jesus house that was in your community, please? Something is telling me that's what my community needs.
@@c_nacole It was an old house that someone paid the rent for. It had people there who lived there who could talk with any youth who came in. Young people would "hang out" there. Some would bring their guitars and play. It was a place for young people to hear the gospel and to hear Christian teaching. I'm old now so I can't remember how long it was there, but eventually it did close. It had a big sign on it that said, "Jesus House."

I was moved to tears during this film several times for all of the reasons you mentioned. I kept thinking about the lost people all around us who are so lost. We’ve become so hard hearted toward the lost because their deeds are so wicked and have almost stopped seeing them as lost sinners, “sheep without a shepherd”. I don’t think this movie could have come along at a more opportune time, it changed my entire paradigm and was extremely effective.
Me too! I’m not an easy crier but I was full on shaking ugly crying at times!
@@vennylalu8311 good thing the theater is dark, bro.
"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling." PETE 4:8
Does the movie go over a reality where the Christian gets told by the lost, time, and time again to be left alone; that you are mentally insane to believe in a higher power, and that they don’t need a shepherd because they’re not sheep but wolves. And if you try to pray for them and help them, then they run away and shut you out of their lives completely. Because that’s my reality for why my heart is hard.
Agreed. My wife and I watched this past weekend! Lots of laughter & tears throughout the theatre. When the movie ended the man sitting to my right turned to me (visibly moved) and said “I was part of the Jesus movement.…that was the most accurate depiction I’ve seen.” It hit me seeing the way it hit him.
Such a well done movie! I totally felt the Holy Spirit all over the theater while watching this film! I was so moved at people receiving Christ, and I cried...so beautiful and moving! It made me think about all the people who are desperate, and hungry for Jesus now. How can God use me? It just takes a spark, and even when we walk 10,000 steps away from God, it is only 1 step back to His open and loving arms. Praise God!
A--MEN
I lived through the Jesus Movement. It was probably more like millions that came to Christ. Our Presbyterian church wouldn't budge about our traditional morning service but our pastor then created an evening one for us young folks. I loved both. In our home church we had many 20 year Olds that had left drugs, alcohol, Mormonism and other cults. We started a band and toured. The gifts of the Spirit moved powerfully!. People got delivered repented, got baptised in our pool....it was awesome.
So happy and blessed to have been a part of this movie. Made many friends while filming and we have all kept in touched, we even went to the premiere together to see it. The story is true, made with a purpose for a much needed spiritual revival, the message was simple yet powerful. Hope it brings many to Lord. ❤️✝️

I’m 71, so I was alive back then, but I lived in the middle of the country. I recall in the late sixties someone was asked to leave church because they were wearing a denim suit. Later in life, I stumbled across recordings of Chuck Smith’s biblical teaching and the teaching of other pastors of Calvary Chapel church, including the Through the Word app. I wish I had assess to the teaching when I was younger but I am grateful that it is available now. This will be the first time this year that I plan on going to a movie theater.
Remember, God first and foremost. God bless!
I too am 71 and well recall the Jesus Revolution. Love Song LPs I still have. There was much to celebrate yet the church didn't realize how many false prophets would emerge. Wolves in sheep clothing, tares among the wheat. Churches must mentor the flock and provide adequate training. Discernment is essential.

Just saw the film this afternoon. Before I get into a point of discussion, for a TL;DR, I’m happy I saw it. I think it was very well made from both a film production and a Christian values standpoint (though I do wish there was a little more focus on the Lord Himself than on “the movement,” but I think I understand why they did things that way), and I would definitely recommend seeing and supporting it. It’s also so very encouraging seeing all the testimonies in this comments section!! 💛🙏 God bless all of you!!
As a believer who growing up was primarily in “traditional, conservative” churches and saw a lot of church disputes and splits, the conflict in the first half of the film with the friction between the hippies and the church members (or, more accurately, the friction from *only* the church members) made me squirm a little… but I think one of the best scenes in the film was when Pastor Chuck responded to the criticism of the barefoot hippies.
I don’t believe churches should necessarily change their usual form of worship and decorum for outsiders, be they fellow believers or the searching unbelievers. I’m not advocating any segregation in the Body of Christ, not remotely, but we do have different denominations for a reason. For instance, I worship in a way that sings passionately, but is otherwise very contained; I would not expect a vibrant Pentecostal church to change for me by toning down their exuberant worship. I believe the same courtesy should be extended to congregations who prefer traditional hymns and KJV Bibles, so that they are not pressured to “modernize” their services. If people want an “appealing” church, let them attend a more modern church. If they want a “reserved” church, let them attend a conservative church. Different forms of witness resonate with different hearts. As long as the Word is being preserved and the preaching is sound, let’s not force one another to worship in a way that constrains how we best commune with and glorify our Father, according to how the Spirit individually leads us.
That’s why I love Pastor Chuck’s response. While I empathize with any church-goer’s discomfort at having their entire church service overhauled with music they cannot connect to, and I don’t believe anyone would be so wrong in hesitating at that, they took it beyond their discomfort and decided that if the hippies’ worship didn’t match theirs, it was unholy. They threw the babies out with the bath water, so to say. When the complaint about the carpet getting dirtied with the hippies’ bare feet came into question, Pastor Chuck had a choice. He could have said, hey, it doesn’t matter, if that’s how they want to be, they should be allowed to do whatever they want and be as dirty as they want. However, he set a precedent by washing their feet instead. They were allowed to go barefoot as they pleased, but with the caveat that they also respected the cleanliness of God’s house. Beautiful! A perfect communion between “modern” and “traditional” sensibilities, showing Jesus’ love and humility in service to bring peace to the brethren. We have to show respect to one another. As long as Christ is lifted up and glorified, and things are done in an orderly manner, this is what matters in our congregations, whatever form we take.
“Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.” (Rom. 14:5) It’s too easy to harp on one another, but God has given us liberty within His Will.
I’m glad the film also subtly pointed out the importance of discernment (when the worship is more for the benefit of the people than for the glory of God) and primarily checking one’s own motives to be certain that our service for God is FOR GOD and not our own preferences. When He’s at the center, great movements like this take place. And, even when we falter and try to take center stage with our desires, He STILL works wonders to glorify Himself. How faithful is our great God! 🙌
Excellent review brother👏
I plan on seeing this film if possible!
I recently overheard a prominent (angry) pastor who was sharing his opinion about the Jesus movement and the film. What stood out was how he was saying that the Jesus movement did away with suits and ties and old hymn books. Hard for some to let go of tradition and embrace people where they're at in order to reach them for Christ. Many people have been turned away from Jesus because of this religiosity like Native Americans and other cultures but, that is changing praise be to God!
Spot on. I was part of the revolution I wrote a paper in high school called Is God Dead? then it appeared on Time mag cover. I treasure those days - I was raised in a Christian home and knew about Jesus but it wasn’t until I was 20 that he became my Lord
I saw this with my wife. Particularly at the baptismal scene I found myself overwhelmed, and got very choked up. I attended a church in Hong Kong in the 90s that I believe was associated with this movement, and which has been a very big influence in my spiritual life. This movie greatly reminded me of that church.
14 year old here, went to see the movie with my mother. It was truly a phenomenal thing to witness. Not only did it feel real and raw, but it also allowed me to put myself in the shoes of those I tend to judge. School can be a particularly unfriendly environment, but this movie has inspired me to approach non-christians with love, rather than condemnation. It doesn’t gloss over the struggles that come with ministry, and truly allows the watcher to understand the side of beauty, as well as the sacrifice that comes with one’s walk with god.
I came to Christ in 1972 as a result of the Jesus movement. We didn't even realize that we were in a revival. I loved the film. It brought back a lot of memories
I enjoyed the movie immensely! I was just a kid when the "Jesus Movement" exploded here in SoCal, but my oldest sister was saved in 1970 and worshipped at "The Tent" with her college friends. 4 years later I was there in the new sanctuary and surrendered my life to Jesus there at a Sunday Evening service.
The movie did a really good job portraying the times and the attitudes, and more importantly, accurately portrayed the genuine movement of the Holy Spirit through the entire country that saved millions of lives, and STILL is saving lives today in churches all across the world.
I saw it twice! First time was a free screening with Greg Laurie. We had a very interactive audience with so much clapping and whooping and laughing and crying. It was SO fun! Went and saw it again in theaters. I just loved it. ❤
I was in California at that time. I met a bunch of people who were involved in the movement. It was amazing to watch what the Holy Spirit was doing in people’s lives. Spot on portrayal.
Great analysis of the film. I saw it with friends over the weekend, and with 17 of our church staff today. My mom was saved in this movement, and my first ministry to students was in a Calvary Chapel, so the film brought tears to my eyes in a very personal way, just reflecting upon God loving my mother so much when she didn't "fit in" as a young woman herself, and ultimately, saving more through my mother teaching me about Jesus as well.
I was in highschool in the mid-seventies, in Central Oregon. The Jesus Movement hit hard and touched everything. The drama department did Godspell..the entire cast got saved. They weren't even trying.
May God pour out His Spirit on the young ones of this generation
Bend?
@@reubengould2694 🙂 Yes. Born and raised. Bend Senior High.
How do you know they got saved? Were they born again? Did they leave their old self behind and follow Jesus? God chooses his children, we don't choose God. And he will saved his own.
@virginiasanchez4614 Because I was there and they were my friends. I can understand your skepticism but, you just would've had have been there. That time in history was different than anything I've seen since. We had people coming to the Lord constantly. We had a Bible study in school! That ranked around a 100 kids per study. We were going to Bible studies at people's homes. We had a Bible Club that was standing room only. We would have lunch together in the cafeteria? 200 friends sitting together at a block of tables. It scared the faculty. Now we're several years out from that time? Because of the nature where I grew up, I still know many of them and could find the ones that I don't. Look up Tammy Cochran - Louris is one. She's got a podcast
When applying for a job, It was a very positive thing to list you were a Christian, in the late '70's, even in the early '80's! I haven't seen any recent applications, but can just imagine how flipped things have become! Before, being a Christian, represented that you were honest, hard working, caring, dependable etc.
I remember Paul Washer or possibly Steve Lawson(?) say that in the future, Christians would be attacked and blamed for horrible things that would be lies, but people would believe these lies and Christians will be persecuted for things so foreign to who they really are, and people will be just like those who yelled crucify Jesus, and chose Barabbas.
I am beginning to see how this can happen. 😢
As somebody who grew up in the church, fell into the world, and rejoined the church i can say it has helped with not judging some people but really seeking to understand them and ask them why they dont believe or choose not to and helping them realize that Jesus is actually who we were created to seek after for full fulfillment that we have hopefully all experienced
I was a young kid when this was happening. I saw hippies come into my church. In my teens, I went to Baptist camp and a lot of hippies were my counselors and mentors. I later became a staff member. I saw the movie yesterday. Definitely a dramatization and the characters were definitely flawed in real life, but aren't we all in need of salvation? Great analysis. God bless. I pray God will move across our nation and the world. Indeed He will.
I too was a Jesus freak , even before Chuck came along . This movement was much wider and deeper than what was portrayed here . I was baptized at 12 years old in 63 . As time came along , many of us knew that something was missing in church . Their had to be a real connection with God and His Word and His Love to others . After I got back from Nam , I found a group of young people who really were into Gods Word and the Truth as it is found in Jesus .I could go on and on but the point I would like to make is Chuck was just a small part of what started this movement .We saw it as the early rain of the Holy Spirit .
Wow. Amen!
And Thank You for your service & sacrifice for our country.🇺🇸 That isn’t so great anymore. :/
But, as things are going, we’re outta here sooner, over later.
So, see you soon, brother!🙌
Continued Blessings until.🕊
Tell us your part more so we get a better picture of His Spirit moving then
Thanks for sharing. Very amazing..👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
We need a second Jesus Revolution before he comes
I agree. These people were a small part and on the east coast not really known. It would have happened with or without them.
I am a Calvary Chapel pastor in Alberta Canada and was saved in a Calvary Chapel in Calgary. What took place decades ago is still producing fruit.
I really enjoyed the movie, was moved by it and intrigued by what was and was not presented.
Well worth watching.
I live in Nova Scotia, grew up in baptist churches in the 80’s. I had heard of the Jesus Movement, but only in vague, and not particularly positive terms. When lockdowns happened I started listening to more eschatology online, and as it turns out, most of the teachers are from a Calvary Chapel background. I appreciate their ministry so much!
Thank you for serving in your capacity over Jesus' flock. I hope you can admit that there is something flat within the CC movement that isn't producing the fruit that harvests double while the children are being ignored and not given the true word so that when they attend these brainwashing schools, they deny Christ and act like a Piper child. In the many Calvary Chapels I have attended, there is a shame from the pulpit(a cowardly fear) to call people out in their sin or even address the current demonic political structure that is sweeping the globe. If you are not openly calling out Trudeau (and all parliament) for his (their) satanic attacks on the church, then be prepared to give an account to your Master that has entrusted you with His sheep. I encourage you to be bold in the faith that has brought you out of sin and push forward towards the goal of being approved by Christ in the Day of the LORD.
I was saved at a Calvary Chapel when I lived in Las Vegas, it was almost 20 years ago and I've moved to another part of the country but I still haven't found a better biblically based church like the Calvary Chapel I attended. I learned so much about scripture every Sunday, I always felt "filled" when I left church. Thank you for serving there in Alberta, and I can't wait to see the movie. I just told my bible study about it and my connection to Calvary Chapel.
What fruit? Lonnie frisbee was in a relationship with a man until the day he died from AIDS….

I was saved listening to Greg in the 1980s. I still listen to him on the radio. He's great.
To answer your question about what people tend to get overlooked by Christians, I have been thinking about that question since I saw the movie and who God brought to mind was the lgbtq+ community. They are even similar to the hippies in a lot of ways. The line Lonnie says in the movie "they are a generation that is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places" really hits hard when I think about it. The only problem is I have no idea how Christians could even begin to reach the lgbtq+ community, but I think that we should try harder to. Because, to quote another Lonnie line, "they are like sheep without a shepherd" and "our community has shut them out".
I saw the movie and loved it. I was in rebellion in the early stages of this movement, having been genuinely saved when I was eight years old. I had drifted from the Lord as a teenager. The acting was very good and I would highly recommend seeing it.
I was so moved I cried through more than half of the movie.
Real Christians should stop watching "Jesus Christ" films.
They are fakes dressing up and calling themselves Jesus Christ.
Please, turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late.
I did not expect that movie to be as good as it was. I didn't know it was based on true events going into it, but that was one of the best Christian movies I've ever watched. I loved the plot, and loved it from a Christian perspective.
Yep it's based on a book too. I'm going to see it for a third time at some point
@@chrisgrullon6786 oh really?! I'm definitely watching it more than once, it's so good
I haven't even seen it yet so I'll check it out. AMEN brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord and God bless you ALL 🙏❤️👊. I really appreciate brother Jon McCray Whaddo You Meme's CZcams Apologetics ministry for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant.
@@Namato360 absolutely I did have a problem with the pacing though. I felt like with some scenes there could have been more dialogue but other than that I enjoyed the film
@@chrisgrullon6786 yeah I understand that, I was a little confused about the pacing when I originally watched it too
I was involved with Calvary Chapel in the 70’s and now at 73years old that time taught me to surrender my life to Christ. The washing of the word and the need to abide in Christ was a focus Chuck Smith taught was vital. We were loved but always taught truth no compromise. God delivered me from smoking I never got into drugs thank God, also some of the best Bible teachers came out of the revival.
I was really blown away of how well this movie was put together & shared the gospel - props to all who worked on this project
It was a great film and not at all predictable. Gritty at times, but a realistic film that certainly captures what happened in the late 60's to early 70's. I was alive back then and it is authentic.
I personally wished there was more Chuck Smith in it. But I understand this isn’t supposed to be “the Calvary Chapel” movie. Chuck was a very important main character but much of the movie revolves around Greg Laurie and Lonnie (though I wouldn’t go so far as use word biopic). As a history nerd the period aspect I thought was done fairly well.
You can really tell the people who made this really cared about what they were doing and The Gospel. Oh yeah.. The Gospel is Openly Preached in this movie. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I felt the exact same way. In a sense, it was a movie trying to tell two stories when I think it should have picked either Greg or Chuck to focus on. As a result, the movie was shallower than it could have been from a story telling POV.
I got saved via Chuck smith and The Word for Today radio program and still attend a Calvary Chapel where I am, so I love how the Lord has used Chuck and the people whom Chuck inspired.
A really cool sequel would be Raul Ries...talk about a divine intervention!
The one thing preventing my husband and me from going to see it was the concern that it would be too focused on Greg Laurie. He did this with the movie on Steve McQueen.
@@mattm7798 I wish the movie had focused on Chuck Smith only. That is what I was expecting and was disappointed. Because it was focused on 2 different directions, the movie felt like it was missing or glossing over key parts of the movement. I went to a Jesus People week long tent service in Kansas when I was 14 and while it had a tremendous impact on me, the abuse going on at home and no churches to attended except strict religious ones, I soon fell back into sin. God never gave up on me and 20 years later I accepted Christ as my savior.
@@queenofprops Yeah, it wasn't that the whole movie was about Greg, just than IMO it should have been about one or the other. There were alot of amazing Pastors to come out of that hippie generation(Skip Heitzig etc).
Both Greg's and Chuck's story was enough to stand on it's own.
@@justsaying3943 :)
I was in the theater and when the washing the feet scene came on, I said yes out-loud! What an amazing and powerful way to show Jesus.
Saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Greg Laurie was my first pastor after I became a Christian in 1989. God has truly given him a gift. This film is really needed now, and I pray that many young people see it and change their lives.
I remember the prejudice against the hippies. This movie touched me on so many levels. I cried several points while watching. I loved this movie!!
Me too
I didn’t have a dry eye throughout the whole movie..😭 I was incredibly good..👍🏽❤️
I thought the movie was INCREDIBLE! Brought a lot of tears thinking about when I was lost and how by His grace I've been saved. There should be no greater desire in Christians than to see others be saved. The movie was a home run - going to see it again this weekend and bringing others with me. It was that good!
Great Review and observations!
I accepted Christ in 1971 and was marvelously saved in Southern California but knew nothing about Lonnie.
I had family members along the entire west coast and when I traveled to visit them I met people who looked me in the eye and said that the Jesus movement originated at their church. They really meant it.
I observed a geographically wide outpouring of Grace.
Grace to come into His presence, get delivered and empowered to serve. Gifts manifesting even before much fruit had even matured (Whole other topic)
From what I’ve learned since Lonnie had a huge part of promoting that outpouring but the movement did not depend on him as some are saying.
Lastly I will say our church had the same circumstances as Pastor Chuck’s church where the hippies displaced a tithing congregation.
There were a few elderly people who stayed with us who recognized this as a move of God. The pastor would invite them up to give a word to the young people and everyone of them said the SAME thing which guides me to this day….
Fasten your eyes on Jesus,
Not on men,
Not on self,
Stay in the word,
Love and obey Him,
Abide.
Thank you for your remarkable testimony and observations gleaned from that time and place. I just saw the movie tonight, and it was amazing! How wonderful to hear your account of God's "presence, deliverance, and power to serve" falling on people in various locales, simultaneously! I love that many had the experience of "the Jesus Movement starting at their church." It has created in my mind's eye an image of the Holy Spirit of God falling on people up and down the California coast. How great would it be to have others retell their stories of the outpouring of the Spirit at that time. ✝
Thank you@@theresap3467 It was fun sharing my experience especially since I noticed this broad outpouring aspect was not part of many retellings of that time.
I was not part of the “name it and claim it” Faith movement but Holy Spirit directed me to pray specifically and persistently. That if I put His Kingdom first I could ask what I desired and be prepared for Yes, No or Wait a While.
I’m not perfect but I have persisted and seen and still do see miracles and the supernatural through my life.
With this thought in mind I’m passing a Torch to you Theresa.
You said that my report about statewide revival planted a picture in your mind’s eye and it would great to hear from others about their experiences. I agree.
More important than the past however is the present. If you’re interested, go to a quiet area and leave all distractions, your phone etc. behind.
Envision in your mind revival coming to your region..what would it look like? Widespread deliverances? Reconciliation? Testimonies from atheists? Healings, Visions? The Book of Acts reenacted near you? Apologies or reconnections? Or the opposite, forsaking relationships that will block growth in Christ?
Flesh out the details of what you imagine could happen and bring it before the Father in prayer. Ask Him to show you a few things you can do to facilitate revival in your home.
He will. This is how a mini revivals starts and triggers other fires.
A few people are fire starters. They may be weak and not very influential but that does not matter. All that matters is the size of their faith in a BIG FATHER.
The Torch I’m passing you is only this; to seek Him about these things and wait on Him and be willing to say yes when He leads you.
Father God thank you for Theresa’s heart and her desire to look deeper into the things of Heaven and the move of your Spirit.
I ask you to guide her into a unique revival that is tailored to her. Bless Her gifts, May she be touched with that flame from Heaven that lights not only her path, but inspires those around her.
If she believes she is too small or not qualified to usher in a move of your Spirit show her otherwise in your wild and wonderful ways!
Surprise Her Lord.
In Jesus name amen!
Grew up in Calvary Chapel, and got to hear Chuck Smith preach at a few churches and often listened to him on radio.
He was such a fantastic man and genuine follower of Jesus, breaking through the cultural barriers to show Christ. Really paved a good path for the gospel to reach the unreached of his day.
Thanks for sharing this one, I've gotta check this out.
Loved it! My brother is on a similar spiritual journey, and it gives me hope that he will come back to Jesus.
The guy with whom I had the amazing opportunity to act out a baptism scene by carrying into the water asked me where the real Greg is after we were done filming that very scene in order to undergo a *real* baptism off camera - and from what I’m hearing from others within the Harvest inner circle (i.e. Greg’s son Jonathan) he wasn’t the only one. This film was being used by God even before it was finished, and glad to see that you too enjoyed it.
Re: 8:05 - Today’s “hippies” are rave-goers. That’s why I’ve been a Christian EDM artist for the past 3 years: because I have the same desire to reach them that Chuck and Lonnie had to reach their lost.
It is a wonderful movie! I'm going to buy it when I can!
@@suetucker9264 Same. Can’t wait to start playing it for my family.
@@suetucker9264 Can’t wait to get it too. So I can watch it w/many others who didn’t get to see it, b/c as usual, so few Christian movies play here.
I was willing to make the 2 hr trek, but my car was having issues. Goes to the shop tomorrow. :/
Others got sick, or couldn’t make it for other reasons.
Frustrating for us forgotten ppl here in no God’s land. :/
Just saw the movie with my wife. After the movie was over and we were eating dinner at home and talking about it. Then I said I want to get the movie in dvd..😀
I saw it. When we got our seats there was just 2 seats left to choose from. It was great. I became a Christian in '71 and I give this movement credit for leading me to Christ.
Movie of the year for me! I took my children, 24, 13 and 8 who have all been raised in the Faith and we cried the entire time. It was a very humbling and eye opening film. At the same time displayed multiple reminders of God's love and empathy towards His people. The way scripture and the Bible was a part of the film made me say Amen outloud during the movie multiple times. I walked out of there saying to myself that "if Jesus stays close to, calls on and loves the broken, then I never want to be fixed so I can remain near him and his presence at all times!". The applause of the audience after the film was epic. I loved this film and I am so glad my 13 year old asked if we could all watch it. We live in the OC so it was also neat to see areas we frequent: Balboa Island, Laguna, Newport, etc... To know we live in an area that birthed one of the biggest Christian revivals is a blessing. No wonder, it's considered one of the happiest places in the nation. There are so many Christian churches here... We are definitely going to check out Harvest's services. I bet praise and worship will be awesome. And I'm certain I will cry as soon as I step through the door as I did the movie. God is good and this film was such a blessing to my soul. Watch it, if you haven't yet. Thank you, Jesus- Amen 🙏❤️
I attend Calvary Chapel in Enid Oklahoma. I came to Christ through the same church. I loved the movie. Only problem I have is that the true movement was Pastor Chuck's teaching the Bible. Line by line, verse by verse. We teach Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Yes. Line by line, book by book. That was what drew us in and kept us!
True 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I took my wife and kids to the movies last Thursday night i for some reason got the day off and i work nights so it was perfect timing because i wanted to go see it so bad and oh boy it was great!! I’ve always been very skeptical about Christian movies but i had a feeling about this one and yes!! My twelve year old daughter was impacted in a very passionate way for Jesus through this movie and that is priceless!! Absolutely worth every penny is a must 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have tickets to see movie Friday! With my 36 yo daughter. The heart of the Jesus movement seemed to be in my pre-teens and my parents were the type of Christians from the original congregation. I saw myself and my older siblings turning away from Jesus rather than to Him. Thankfully we have all returned!! Thank you for your insight... I'm more excited to go now.
I saw the movie. It showed sinful living, but kept it clean.
The audience was very encouraged after the movie, raising their hands and saying amen.
Take a lost friend to see it❤️
But Lonnie died of Aides due to continuing sinful living. I do not see how that shows the power of Christ to break bondages. Perhaps no one is looking further at their lives than the movie.
@@shelleyd9910 from what I heard. He experienced with a gay lifestyle, but turned away from it AND he said he had to live out the rest of his life with the consequences.
Like most of us, we screwed up early in life and now have to live with things❤️
I was part of the hippie culture and then part of the Jesus movement. The movie did a good job of portraying that time and the movement. And you did a good job of analyzing the movie. Thanks!
I saw the film with my family on Sunday.We loved it! I was ateenaget in the late seventies, and it really brought back some memories of the fashion and music of he day. I always listened to Calvary Chapel services on the radio, and in 1984 my husband and I attended a church service and heard Chuck Smith preach when we were visiting California. My husband and I have followed Jesus for many years, and we are praying that his film helps to draw many people to Him. Jesus is the only name under heaven by which we can be saved!
I was a young girl during the Jesus movement and I have many memories of that time. It was actually the Jesus movement that made me leave my Lutheran Church and try to find God in other ways. I very much wanted my belief to help me navigate the world I was moving into as a teen, and was not finding that at all in the Lutheran church. In fact, the only thing I liked about that church was the hymns and singing. When I was around 14 or so, it was discovered that the married pastor of the church was having an affair with a married congregant. I was just old enough to know that was not representative of the whole church, but young enough to be so offended that for a time, I felt very weird and alone for being outside of the world, and outside of the church, too. I didn't want what the world wanted me to have. I wanted what Jesus was offering and didn't understand. Such a troubling time for me, that lasted well into my 20s. Finally came back to the church in my 40s and have been growing in faith ever since.
I wished the film would’ve highlighted what a good teacher Pastor Chuck was. He focused on very sound and down to earth teaching from the Bible verse by verse and it focus so much on Lonnie frisbee who was just a flash in the pan. Certainly he was instrumental in Greg Laurie’s conversion, and was around for the first year and a half or so what made Calvary Chapel distinctive was that they were not overly emotional and did have solid teaching
I was there at this time and Pastor Chuck was my Pastor, I went to Calvary Chapel for 30 year's. Your assessment is spot on
So happy this movie was made and glad to hear your review on it. I was in Pastor Chuck's church for the last few years of his life and have been at Calvary Churches ever since. Great to see how and why it all started. Also agree and glad to see the quality of Christian movies is trending upwards.
I listen to his sermons every morning on Spotify when I’m driving to school. He is an amazing Pastor.
It brought back wonderful memories!!! I was there and it was glorious. I’m 70 now and a pastor. It stuck! Hallelujah!!!
I have became a believer at a Calvary chapel. The movie is a reminder that we can and will struggle with our faith. I went to Harvest and local Calvarys. I appreciate the honesty of their testimony. It’s life it’s a struggle and there is hope and beauty in returning to your first love.
Beautifully said. This was a really good breakdown of what the movie is trying to portray. Well done. I am now 65 and can remember the uproar and challenges of that time. It changed everything! Thank you for speaking on behalf of this movie.
I was in grade school during this era. I am now being greatly affected by the teachings of Calvary Chapel churches. I love the way they present the gospel. Many Calvary chapel churches are scattered over the country and if there is not one close to where you live, they can be viewed on social media , You tube. We can thank Covid for escalating online access!!
I had the pleasure of listening to Papa Chuck at "Big Cavalry" in Costa Mesa for about a year before he went to be with Jesus. I came to Christ during a dark and difficult time in my life. Chuck Smith did the Lord's work here on earth.
My Church went and saw the movie, beautiful memories brought back to me!!! I lived in that time and it was in NO. CALIFORNIA as well, so it truly was a movement that started a revolution indeed!!! I am praying for another revival again, for such a time as this! He is coming again, believe it, there is hope that is not of this world, the kind of Salvation and Eternal life awaiting those who believe on the name of Jesus Christ and walk with Him. There truly is only One Way, one path that leads to one door, but there are many different paths and doors that this world offers, but they are false, and you will have walked in vain. One true door, through the blood of our Savior, shed for all of our sins, who believe in Him, repent and turn direction from the path they were on. Our Bible, the word of God is our compass, not the GPS!!!🙏☝️🤲 🫶❤️🕊
Saw the film on Saturday. I loved it. The youth of today are lookin for love acceptance, peace, and justice like the hippies of yesteryear. It's time to open our home, heart, and church saying, "Come let us reason together."
Anytime wether it’s a movie or CZcams channel as long as it brings lost sheep to Christ it’s a great day.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are so right about us needing to respond more like Jesus than the Pharisees when it comes to people not in our comfort zone! I’ve been praying about this, and I’ve started by praying for those who are far out of my comfort zone as well as others that are not. I also pray that God will provide me with opportunities to speak with the same, and in some way, witness to them!
Jon, you're wisdom is beyond your years!! You're kindness and mercy is self evident.
My wife and I used to attend Pastor Chuck's church back in the day. He truly was the example of a man who loved God and reached out to everyone without regard to social status. He never pointed to himself, but always pointed to Jesus. He is no longer with us, but I believe what he accomplished in Jesus name will live on through the many lives he touched. Haven't seen the movie yet, but am looking forward to it.
I remember Pastor Chuck speaking about this.. It brought me to tears because I know what it feels like to thought of as unworthy of love and respect.
I lived through this age and it was exciting. We were raising young families and didn't have to deal w/church traditions. We just did church. After 40 years serving God Pastor Greg is now my Senior Pastor as I enjoy retirement. As an Old guy I still believe in not holding the young back as our worship & ministry evolves. Greater days always lie ahead, not behind.
I was 12 years old when this hit back in the 70s, and our family got the "Fallout" of the Spirit from some folks in Colorado who had come from Calvary Chapel! I was already a Christian (having had a deep experience of Christ) but this movement set our entire family on fire...
I cried so many times during this movie since it brought back so much for me!
We had Chuck's bible study tapes and I still have the Love Song vinyl from the early 70s... I also jumped when I saw Greg's "Jesus Comic" that he put out and those tracts, which I had...
So thankful for this movie!
I finally met Chuck in the 90's when on business travel in Orange County... What an incredibly humble man!
I "grew up" in my faith listening to Chuck Smith in the 80's and 90's. Met him at a friend's funeral as he was giving the eulogy.
I just got back home from seeing this film and it was great definitely delivers the true message Jesus stands for and always will praise God ♾🙌 🙌🙌♾
This is a GREAT movie! Scripture is quoted often & you can feel the power & truth behind it. So many emotional scenes, not because they were trying to play with our emotions, but because God's love is just that amazing! I was definitely teary-eyed through almost all of it. It showed some of the struggles & flaws of the people...just underlining that this was a move of God, while also using His people! "Do it again Lord!" It increases my faith, because I DO think that God is on the move again!
This is the best movie I have seen in a few years. I was born again when the Jesus Movement made its way to Texas in 1973. That was 50 years ago! It was a movement like I've never seen in my life...I hope we see it again... The atmosphere feels right. Thanks for your post!
For someone like me who lived through this time, the movie was stunning, emotional, and caused my hope in the possibility of true revival to become even greater. The movie was needed. For more perspective on Lonnie, please watch Ruslan’s commentary on those who would try to appropriate his story for dark purposes.
Its a falling away not an awakening...
@Enlightened Perry
Exactly. Unfortunately, so many Christians are caught up in sensationalism because they're hooked on a feeling instead of the facts in Gods word.
@@lemongate4869 Knowledge of Scripture is critically important, as you say. It is truly difficult sometimes to sort these things out. Some are obvious and some more ambiguous…I bet by now Greg Laurie has seen most of it.
@@evilovesperryThere's also a mentioning of "I will pour out my Spirit in all flesh" Acts 2:17...So there is BOTH. God still moves.
I understand the movie was about the Jesus Revolution, but maybe someone will do a movie of Lonnie's life based on the books written by Roger Sachs. So many do not know about his life and how the Lord uses sinners (there are many that fell from grace only to be restored unto God in the end in the Bible e.g. Samson) as was Lonnie, but he was a mighty instrument in the revolution and traveled the world leading thousands to Jesus. He was reconciled in the of his life and never stopped loving Jesus. I believe his story is for such a time as this for this present generation.
I was always a Christian most of my life but never had a “home church” until a friend took my brother and myself to Calvary Chapel Ft Lauderdale 25 years ago. You couldn’t go a week without hearing of Chuck Smith then it tapered off and I didn’t realize it until I saw the movie. It is a wonderful, uplifting film with several poignant moments. Moments that say we need another Jesus Movement or Revolution, more now than ever before. You can clearly see people are lost and looking for something but they don’t know what & since there isn’t anything/anyone like Chuck Smith maybe this movie will lead them to Jesus. It is well done and in such a way that maybe it will speak to the lost.
My husband and I went to see the movie last weekend. We love Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie. I didn’t know it was about Greg Laurie when I saw the trailer on TV. When I was a new Christian in the 79’s, I listened to Chuck Smith on the radio almost every day. I loved his down-to-earth teaching. I was also a member of the Vineyard movement, but had never heard the story of Lonnie Frisbee. Don’t miss this one! 8:33 8:33
