When we surrender to the Lord, we can do anything. Just ask Stephen Kendrick.
“Have you ever been a coach and you’re trying to figure out which player to put in the game?” he asked in a Facebook video. “If you’ve got one that’s cocky and not going to follow your instructions, you’re gonna leave him on the bench. If you got another one who’s willing to submit to your leadership, he is a useful tool to you. You’ll put him in all the time if you know what he’s gonna do.”
Kendrick explained, “The same is true with our walk with the Lord. He wants to put us in the game. He wants us to be ready for the Master’s use. He wants us to be found faithful…but first we’re going to have to surrender.”
“When we surrender to the Lord, He puts the hand of His holy spirit in the glove of our broken, empty lives, and He does things we could never do on our own,” the writer and producer finished. “God can accomplish, through us in a posture of surrender, more than we can ask or imagine.”
Kendrick works with his brothers to create faith-based movies through Kendrick Brothers Productions.

“I did not really think I was going to grow up to be a film producer, by any means, but the Lord kept us together,” he told Movieguide® of his partnership with brother Alex. “We ended up landing at a children’s church in Albany, Georgia, and living in the same neighborhood, not by our own choosing, but by the Lord’s leadership. Pretty quickly after that, the Lord called us to make films together. So now all three brothers, our oldest brother, Shannon, has joined us.”
The Kendrick Brothers are currently preparing for the release of FLYWHEEL, a Brazilian remake of their debut movie.
“What usually takes months of preparation happened in days,” Stephen said in a statement given to The Christian Post. “It was amazing. We did not know the language, local resources, or culture, but saw God help us do more in less time. We found out that Brazilian pastors had been praying for this for five years. The movie is better shot, acted, and scored than the original, and the storyline is just as powerful. I’m truly excited to see how audiences will respond to this new version in theaters this fall.”
The new version of FLYWHEEL premieres Oct. 16.
