In six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. After learning that he and his wife Brooke face infertility, Grant discovers that a group of fathers are secretly organizing to have him dismissed as head coach. Devastated by his circumstances, he cries out to God in desperation. When Grant receives a message from an unexpected visitor, he searches for a stronger purpose for his football team. He dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage.

Alex's very successful directorial (almost) debut! Comparisons are certainly in order with the Erwin Brothers' related Woodlawn, which also has a Christian subtext with noticeably more depth and a more developed script. However, the production time is known and in terms of simplicity and audience minstream Facing the Giants is probably the more popular choice. The music supervisor also deserves high praise for choosing a tailor-made energetic soundtrack!
