Okay, so I’ve been on this kick lately of watching super inspiring, faith-based movies. You know, the kind that make you want to be a better person? I watched “Courageous” a while back, and it totally resonated with me. So, I decided I needed more movies like that in my life.
First, I just straight-up Googled “movies similar to Courageous.” I mean, that’s the obvious first step, right? I got a bunch of lists, some helpful, some not so much.
My Little Research Journey
Then, I started jotting down the titles that popped up repeatedly. Here’s what my initial list looked like:

- Fireproof
- Facing the Giants
- War Room
- October Baby
- God’s Not Dead
Seems like a good list.
After getting that basic list, I dove into some movie review sites. I figured I’d read some summaries and see what other people thought. I wanted to get a feel for the themes, the acting, you know, the overall vibe. I didn’t want to waste my time on something that sounded good but was actually a total dud.
I also checked out some online forums where people were discussing Christian movies. That was actually super helpful because it was real people talking about their experiences, not just some critic’s opinion. You get a much better sense of whether a movie is genuinely moving or just preachy, you know?
I get the useful suggestions from the forums and movie review sites.
Final List I Watched
Based on all that digging, I narrowed my list down and watched these:
- Fireproof: This one kept coming up, and it’s from the same people who made “Courageous,” so I figured it was a safe * is great!
- Facing the Giants: Another one from the Kendrick brothers. It’s about football, faith, and overcoming obstacles.
- War Room:This one is about the power of * sounds good.
So yeah, that’s how I went about finding movies similar to “Courageous.” Basically, a lot of Googling, reading reviews, and checking out forums. It was totally worth it, though! I’ve got a whole new list of inspiring movies to keep me going.
