“Nothing is Impossible” Available to Stream from Pure Flix!

Another great movie from Pure Flix was released on October 6th.  “Nothing is Impossible” is a movie about how to trust in God’s timing when it seems like none of our desires are being fulfilled in the way we hoped.  “Nothing is Impossible” teaches us that times of uncertainty are when we should lean into our faith and trust God has a plan for our lives.  This movie has a valuable lesson about how our past failures don’t define us. Instead, our reactions to past hurts can transform us.

Synopsis:

Take a center-court seat to a journey of transformation as Scott Beck gets a second chance at life and love. Can he let go of past pains and open himself to God’s purpose? Or will new challenges keep him from the future he always hoped for?

Check out the trailer below for more info:

My husband and I watched “Nothing is Impossible” last night for a date night inside our house.  We really enjoyed it and it had a twist at the end that we weren’t expecting!  I am so thankful for Pure Flix that we can watch fun and wholesome movies without all the extra junk that is usually added.  We have had a Pure Flix account for about a year and a half now and it has become our favorite streaming service.

About Pure Flix:

Pure Flix is the leading faith and family-friendly streaming video-on-demand service. With thousands of God-honoring and inspiring movies and shows, you can Have Faith In Your Entertainment again.

Pure Flix was founded in 2005 by Michael Scott, David A.R. White, and Russell Wolfe. The company initially started as a film studio behind breakout theatrical hits like “God’s Not Dead,” “The Case for Christ” and “Do You Believe?” and launched its streaming platform in 2014. In late 2020, Pure Flix the streaming service became part of AFFIRM Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment, with a mission to stream God-honoring stories to a new generation through inspiring and faith-affirming TV shows, movies and original series.
