I'm still in movie love mode after the 98th Academy Awards last night. Did you watch it? I loved the romantic gowns and dapper men with their sparkling lapel pins. Jessie Buckley's acceptance speech for Best Actress in Hamnet made me misty-eyed, and Barbra Streisand's tribute to Robert Redford was truly touching. I was equally touched while screening He Calls Me Daughter for today’s post. Below are my thoughts and a giveaway.

Film Synopsis: He Calls Me Daughter is for women who have felt unseen, unsupported,
or unsure of their worth. Through intimate, first-person stories, viewers follow women as they begin to name the pain they’ve carried for years: father wound. Audiences are invited to reflect on their own story as they walk alongside these women on a journey toward healing.
He Calls Me Daughter is an invitation to experience the love of a Father who does not withdraw, but one who offers peace, belonging, and restoration.
My Thoughts:
It’s by sheer coincidence that I'm posting back-to-back film reviews that cover highly emotional subject matter. As a lighthearted optimist, delving into the last two films, most especially He Calls Me Daughter, has been cathartic. Until watching this film, I didn’t have a name for the disconnect I sometimes felt between my father and my spiritual father.
Watching the truthful, sometimes raw stories showcased in He Calls Me Father allowed me to acknowledge that how we’re raised does have bearing on our relationship with God and our interpretations of the bible’s teachings.
If you can sit with the question. “Do you have a father wound in your heart?” and really listen to your response, you might be surprised to note some issues, even for those of us who feel we were raised in a normal Christian family.
Father Wounds can be felt in small and big ways! If you know pain caused by a distant or absent father, it can make it difficult for us to trust a loving heavenly father. Use this link to watch the official movie trailer.
The Takeaway:
Dr. Michael Reeves states, “Most Christians are functional orphans, thinking that while God might be a father for all these other Christians, he’s not a father for me,” which, I feel, resonates with many women today. He Calls Me Daughter explores the importance of a father in a woman's life and the hope and healing available in Christ.
