Pure Flix Review

Have I Got a Television Streaming Platform for You!

pure flix review

Are you tired of what’s on mainstream television?

Do TV shows and movies which promote an agenda, or mock Christianity, make you mad?

Also important, do you know what your kids (grandkids) are watching when you’re not in the room?

Have I got an option for you.  🙂

You may want to check out Pure Flix.

This streaming service is not just for families with kids.

If you’re a Christian single looking for inspirational movies, you can find them easily on Pure Flix at any time of day. 

There are no agenda-pushing talking heads, Hollywood celebs hating on America, political commercials, sports stars disrespecting our national anthem, or commercials.

We’ve been so pleased with it, here’s my Pure Flix review.

Pure Flix Movies

The first thing I noticed after we subscribed was the extensive list of family-friendly movies and old television shows which are available with a click of the remote.

Notice that I said “family-friendly.”

Not every movie or TV show offered on Pure Flix is Christian-themed, although there are many.

Even so, there’s still no need to worry about your children seeing something they shouldn’t.

Thanks to Pure Flix, we’ve watched hilarious old TV episodes of “The Beverly Hillbillies,” “I  Married Joan,” and “Father Knows Best”.

As far as movies, there are options in the genres of romance (think of Hallmark movies before they became secularly-influenced), comedies, adventure, animation, and drama.

It’s been great to see some older favorites too, like “God’s Not Dead,” “I’m Not Ashamed,” and “The Case For Christ.”

Pure Flix vs. Netflix

I know there are a lot of people out there hooked on Netflix.

Some people rave on Facebook about how great some of the series are.

But, there’s a dark side to the streaming platform, despite the secular critics trying to persuade you otherwise.

pure flix movies

Netflix does air disturbing content that kids shouldn’t be watching.

There are programs which mock Jesus Christ, plus a disgusting new one which exploits children. I did watch the trailer for the show “Cuties” and have read about some of the content. It will make your blood boil. I can’t believe some secular critics are still trying to defend this show, but this is our world now.

what your kids are watching

If you’re a Netflix member ready to drop the service, you may want to check out a trending movement online called “Cancel Netflix.”

God bless those caring people who started the campaign.

The “just don’t watch it” crowd apparently don’t know (or don’t care) about the alarming statistics of child trafficking in the United States alone. Providing so-called educational shows with scantily-clad children (including some partial nudity) gyrating to music is sick.

Potential Issues With the Streaming Service

Back to a better topic.

Any technical issues we’ve had with Pure Flix, we’ve gotten help from their customer service department, and in some cases, have fixed ourselves.

The only current glitsch we have is that sometimes our “Favorites” library doesn’t show up immediately. Other reviewers have mentioned a “buffering” issue, but that’s never been a concern for us.

Pure Flix Cost

Several other reviewers mention that the cost of Pure Flix is high compared to other Christian streaming apps.

You have a choice of paying monthly or yearly. The yearly plan costs $83.33 ($6.95/month), after the 7-day free trial period.

After the first year that cost will increase to $99.99 ($8.33/month) which is still a great value for family-friendly entertainment.

If you prefer, there are other Christian streaming services you can choose from that are a little cheaper per month and with longer free trial periods.

Movie I’m Not Ashamed

The Movie “I’m Not Ashamed”

I'm Not Ashamed movie

 

When I see a movie that inspires me, I can’t wait to recommend it to family and friends.

“I’m Not Ashamed,” is one of those films. The good news is that it releases this weekend in local theaters so you can see it too.

I accepted the invitation to pre-screen the movie over two months ago, and it still resonates with me to this day. It’s truly an unforgettable film.

Pure Flix’s, “I’m Not Ashamed” is the deeply touching story of Rachel Joy Scott. She was a victim of the tragic shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.

Keeping Your Faith in the Midst of Unspeakable Horror

On that awful day in U.S. history, April 20th, 1999, two high school seniors, in a pre-meditated act of hatred and revenge, took the lives of 12 students and one teacher in a murderous rampage in the high school. The gunmen, 18-year-old Eric Harris, and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold, also wounded 25 others in the brutal tragedy which played out on national television.

The film is intense, no doubt about it. I believe parents and their appropriately-aged teenagers should attend this movie together. With this intention in mind, it will make for a meaningful dialogue afterward.

Talk To Your Kids

Parents – because it’s a very real possibility, please teach your children about reporting legitimately suspicious behavior, and remaining aware of their surroundings, even at school. No one wants their child to feel paranoid in the hallways, but it’s a different world we live in now.

I’m Not Ashamed

From the beginning of the movie, Rachel, beautifully played by Masey McLain, captures our hearts as she navigates the turbulent hallways of Columbine High school.

Rachel Joy Scott

Her passionate journey of allegiance to God met with continual faith-testing disappointments and rejection from friends. Rachel felt emotionally broken at times, and that God was silent.

Heartfelt thoughts, drawings, and prayers recorded in her journal became the basis for the movie. The film very accurately portrays the stresses and temptations of daily life in a public high school, from the pressures of drinking, taking drugs, to having sex before marriage. There’s no sugar-coating it here. Temptations are around every corner, and Rachel and her friends are deep in the middle of it. Rachel struggles to hang onto her faith. A noncommittal boyfriend and the constant bullying of some of her unpopular friends added to Rachel’s loneliness and anguish.

The Movie, I’m Not Ashamed

I am not going to apologize for speaking the Name of Jesus.

 I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put in me. If I have to sacrifice everything . . . I will.

Rachel’s Tears

I read the book, Rachel’s Tears, written by Rachel’s parents several years ago. Similar to the book, the movie reveals a touching reference to the meaning of the “tears” she drew in her journal. It is chilling. Wait til you see the movie, and you’ll know what I mean.

Some feel the need to debate the actual words Rachel said to her killers before her death, but I have no doubt after reading the book, and now seeing this movie, that she was the warrior for Christ she always wanted to be.

The cast includes both Korie and Sadie Robertson of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty” fame. The starring roles don’t end there. Christian vocalist, Jaci Velasquez, also makes an appearance in the film.

In my opinion, award-winning director, Brian Baugh, accomplished his goal of telling a cinematic story that inspires as well as it heals. The creative vision of producers Chuck Howard, Brad Allen, Michael Martin, and Nise Davies beautifully brought Rachel’s story to life.

Pure Flix, Visible Pictures, LLC., and Big Film Factory officially release the movie on Friday, October 21st.

Check your local listings for times.

God bless
