Newsboys Among Notable Red Carpet Guests at 'Do You Believe?' Movie Premiere
The Newsboys' Michael Tait and Duncan Phillips were among a star-studded line-up walking the red carpet this week at the Hollywood premiere of Pure Flix's much anticipated new theatrical release, "Do You Believe?"
The latest film from the creators of the 2014 smash hit "God's Not Dead," "Do You Believe?" sees a dozen different souls, all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ...even if they don't believe it. Yet.
Newsboys' longest-running #1 single to date, "We Believe," serves as the theme song of the film, which arrives in theatres today and stars Academy Award®-winner Mira Sorvino, Sean Astin, Cybill Shepherd and Lee Majors, among others.
Comprised of lead vocalist Michael Tait, Jody Davis (guitar), Jeff Frankenstein (keys) and Duncan Phillips (drums), Newsboys are one of the most influential bands in Christian music today with more than 8 million units sold, six Gold® records, 33 #1 radio hits, four GRAMMY® nominations and multiple Dove Awards. "God's Not Dead," Newsboys' chart-topping signature single, inspired Pure Flix's 2014 hit film of the same name. The band's latest recording and debut collection of hymns,Hallelujah For The Cross, released last fall and features the legendary group's take on nine classics and one new selection.
Watch an exclusive clip below that draws a correlation in the film with a news story that recently surfaced in America.
We live in a country founded on Christian principles, where religious freedoms have always been an integral part of our national character ... until now. In DO YOU BELIEVE?, the powerful new film from the creators of God's Not Dead, we meet an EMT named Bobby who is an on-fire Christian. When Bobby leads a dying man to saving faith in Jesus, his world comes crashing in. But that's also when Bobby fully understands that while his faith may cost him, it's a price he's willing to pay. As he says, "If what I did has suddenly become a crime, then I'm proud to plead guilty."
Check out (and share) this incredible scene from DO YOU BELIEVE? featuring Liam Matthews as Bobby and Andrea Logan White as Andrea.
