THE FORGE’s Kendrick Brothers Call Priscilla Shirer an ‘Amazing Woman of God’

By Movieguide® Contributor

Priscilla Shirer says her latest project, THE FORGE, is a “beautiful picture of the grace of God.”

“We’re so excited to have Priscilla back in this movie,” Stephen Kendrick, the movie’s producer, said

Shirer previously worked on the Teddy Bear Award®-winning movies OVERCOMER and WAR ROOM with the Kendrick Brothers. 

“She is a great friend and an amazing woman of God,” Stephen continued. “She did an awesome job in WAR ROOM, and to come back and reprise the role of Elizabeth Jordan, but to also play Cynthia Wright, her twin sister in the film — that’s a new adventure for us, we’re very excited about it.”

Alex Kendrick, who directed THE FORGE, added, “She is an inspiration to be around. And her joy for the Lord and for others impacts the entire set.” 

Shirer said making the movie has been “so fun.”

“The other films I’ve had the opportunity to do with the Kendrick brothers, my family was with me on set, but this time around…my husband is one of those men [in the movie and he’s standing next to our youngest son, Jude — just being able to do this project together is remarkable that the Lord would organize that,” she explained.

Shirer continued, “Isn’t this a beautiful picture of that grace of God, that He would allow us to do something just so fun together?”

A plot synopsis of THE FORGE reads:

Isaiah Wright has some growing up to do. A year out of high school with no plans for his future, Isaiah is challenged by his single mom and a successful businessman to start charting a better course for his life. Through the prayers of his mother and a prayer warrior named Miss Clara, as well as biblical discipleship from his new mentor, Isaiah begins to discover God’s purpose for his life is so much more than he could hope for or imagine.

“It’s a forging process to be a disciple,” Alex said in an interview with Pure Flix. “And when you think about your walk with God, sometimes you feel like, ‘Man, I feel like I’m in a forge.’ But what happens to that process, if you honor the Lord and He walks with you, He makes you stronger and more fruitful in your life.”

Movieguide® previously reported on THE FORGE:

The Kendrick brothers have offered a first look at their newest project, THE FORGE, which will come to theaters this August

THE FORGE explores how having strong leaders can make an incredible impact. While this is true for all areas of life, it is especially true for faith, where having somebody to shepherd you through can be the difference between whether or not you form a relationship with Christ.

“[THE FORGE] is family-friendly, but it is intense and exciting. In some different places, it is an emotional roller coaster. There’s some funny humor that’s in the movie, but most importantly, it’s this call to discipleship—that we need to get busy about leading people into an abiding surrendered walk with Jesus because that’s the greatest thing in the world,” said Stephen Kendrick.

“We believe the Lord is going to stir up this focus in the body of Christ, and so we’re very grateful to have worked on a movie like this,” Alex Kendrick added. “It was challenging for us but edifying for the body of Christ because we need to be salt and light like never before.”
