Get Your Tickets: ‘Average Joe’ Premieres TODAY!
Average Joe, a movie dramatizing Coach Joe Kennedy’s life story, will be in a theater near you TODAY October 11th! Show your support for Coach Joe by going to the movies on opening weekend!
The movie recounts Coach Joe’s story, beginning with his childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps. The film focuses on his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired for living out his faith, Joe and his wife, Denise, soon knew this battle for religious freedom and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight.

Psalm 35 – Pleasure in the Prosperity of His Servant
Though the world may look dark, with no hope, and impossible to overcome – here is the promise of the Lord for us TODAY -
“Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” (Psalm 35:27b)
