The Favorite: Dad Fights for Faith is a faith-based feature film inspired by a true story of tragedy, perseverance, and miraculous recovery. Produced by our nonprofit, this film exists for one purpose: to bring hope to families facing the impossible and to testify to the power of faith in the midst of suffering.
This film continues the fictional world introduced in The Favorite while telling the real-life story of a devastating jet ski accident that left a young man fighting for his life — and a family fighting on their knees in faith. What followed was not only medical recovery, but a powerful testimony of God’s presence in the darkest moments.
We believe this story is meant to be shared.
