Pureflix turned John Wick into a Christian movie and I'm not sure how I feel about it...
Beckman is the Christian John Wick rip-off that leaves you with more questions than answers, the biggest one being, "Why didn't this movie get nominated for any Oscars?"
Pureflix and the Christian movie industry don't exactly have a reputation for making A-tier blockbusters, or for making action movies in general. That's why the movie I review in this video, Beckman, caught my attention. I want to watch David A.R. White tuck and roll as much as the next guy, but I also want to see what sort of biblical spin the creators of this movie can put on the already-beloved John Wick tale. Is this movie good for building God's kingdom, or does it join the ranks of God's Not Dead and all the other Christian movies that fall flat of the Great Commission? We're about to find out.

    The one classic Christian Metal band you should listen to should be Stryper! They've been performing live since the early 80's had lull in the 90's Since 2005 they've been producing albums! O5 "Reborn" started them back on the path to Rocking again! Their latest offerings have been phenomenal! Just released "When we were Kings" and a new live acoustic release, "To Hell with the Amps" that is a great live acoustic set!

    There are a ton of fantastic Christian metal bands.

If you want some entertaining unblack metal (lol), check out Horde. Can't get more Christian than a song called "Invert the Inverted Cross" or "Release and Clothe the Virgin Sacrifice" lol. Good stuff.

    @JosiahNordquist I only got about halfway through the video, and mean no disrespect at all. Christian metal bands are my favorite though maybe not your style. I’m citing bands like X-Sinner, Stryper, deliverance, etc. But the content of the songs that you’re citing are more teaching and discipleship than Worship. I consider praise music to be directed towards the Lord, and and would refer to other songs as examples of Worship than the ones that you mention here. That said one of the biggest reasons that I like Christian metal besides, the music itself is that they do sing directly from scripture. It does indeed honor God, but it is directed more towards the audience than towards Him.
