As a Christian, I’ve seen my fair share of faith-based animated films. Some fun and friendly. Others are more gospel-heavy. One recent favorite?

With summer soon collapsing into the cool embrace of falling leaves, bonfires, and all things pumpkin spice, now is the perfect time to enjoy one last apple pie in the sky summer season family movie, “The Short Game.” From director Frank Sanza, this family film depicts the heart of America’s greatest pastime from the vantage point of Jermey, played by Ben Krieger, a high school senior grappling for a coveted college golfing scholarship. Facing troubles at home and on the field, Jeremy must be victorious in the State Championship, despite obstacles at home, including his mother overcoming cancer and looking after his younger brother, Ethan, played by Owen Himfar, a young, perceptive person, and caddy for his brother, while thriving with Autism.

The greatest points in this film revolve around Ethan, a person thriving while living on the Autism spectrum is represented authentically throughout the film. As writer and director, Frank Sanza, references various aspects of Autism. From the perspective of having an autistic son. Helping Ethan’s characterization to be portrayed as grounded, timely, and highly learned despite addressing various difficulties in his own journey. A poignant reminder of the daily struggles those living on the spectrum may face, including difficulty understanding the nuances of culture and family, while addressing adolescent family dynamics, which I, and so many others, will appreciate.

Making “The Short Game” a wholesome outlook on the world. Sharing an organic view of spectrum families, hardships of youth, and a fresh experience of a family’s caregiving for sick relatives. Despite stock dialogue and underdog movie tropes, the film’s messaging is one to take into the season ahead. Noting the film’s emotional, almost cliché take on sportsmanship and strife, as seen between rival baseball players and scholarship competition.

Despite this, “The Short Game,” full of Christian and sportsmanship tropes as well as periodical references to God and scripture, is the feel-good sort of film family will enjoy before the start of this year’s academic year. As both a golfing and family movie, “The Short Game” delivers as the feel-good film of the season.

“The Short Game” will be released in US theaters on August 29, 2025–click here to buy tickets to see this film.

Throughout my childhood, few things have brought me more joy than a good story — especially those of the famed nineteenth-century writer and novelist, Charles Dickens. From “A Tale of Two Cities” to “The Old Curiosity Shop,” Dickens‘ tales of humility and prose have shaped my life in immeasurable ways. Making the new film, “King of Kings,“ directed and written by Seong-ho Jang, composed by Kim Tae-seong, distributed by Angel Studios, and starring Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Pierce Brosnan, Roman Griffin Davis, Forest Whitaker, Ben Kingsley, and Oscar Isaac, is the PG animated film of the summer season.

“King of Kings,” the faith-based film dramatizing the Gospel of Jesus Christ’s ministry, features themes of family and kinship, and tells the story of Christ’s life from a childlike perspective. Featuring themes of connection and love, Angel Studio’s newest animated film will warm the hearts of audiences familiar with the filmmaker’s catalog of quality, family-friendly films. Retelling the works of Charles Dickens, as told from the final weeks of Christ’s ministry, from conception to resurrection, themes of Barabbas to the Jewish uprisings during the age of Christ.

Angel Studio’s newest animated tale shares the childlike perspective of the later days of Jesus Christ’s life, told through the yarns of Charles Dickens. “The King of Kings” is a clever retelling of the gospels that Dickens wrote for his children, now shared with audiences of all ages. Coming to fruition in the decade after Dickens‘ famed “The Christmas Carol,” sharing a child-like view of the famed Christian redemption story.

“The King of Kings” is clever, relatable, and fun for viewers of all ages, now streaming on Angel.com, the Angel App, and
available to all Angel Guild members one page, here.

Summer may be the ultimate time of year to a time to relax and get away, but tell that to kids who are bouncing off the walls. Or espousing the dreaded I’m bored eighteen hundred times a day.

As parents, we want each summer to be more memorable than the next but its often hard to come up with ideas for activities that are family-focused, sensory-prone, yet fresh and new each year. Ideas that are both fun and frugal too. Especially if your child is too young to for ye ole’ summer camp this season.

It’s also important to remember that there are only eighteen summers that we as parents can take advantage of the course of our children’s lives. So we need to be able to make the most of each and every bright sunny day and warm summer nights each week with our children.

So with this in mind, I’d like to share with you 101 free fun family-focused ideas for the summer:

1. Go to the Library: Most libraries around the country offer free summer reading programs that encourage kids of all ages to read, and often host other activities like, parties, storytelling events, children’s book clubs, and puppet shows. Check out libraries in neighboring towns too – they might offer something your regular branch doesn’t.

Also, check Children’s Science and Art Museum calendars for special summer activities – many offer classes, concerts, and tours just for kids. Bank of America offers such free passes too!
