Faithlife TV is for families who want to grow in their faith

Faithlife TV is for families who want to grow in their faith

For most streaming services, entertainment is the primary goal — think Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu.

Then there’s Faithlife TV Plus, a relatively new streaming service that — yes — wants to entertain its audience but also wants subscribers to learn and grow in their Christian faith. 

In fact, dramatic movies aren’t even their main attraction. Instead, “edifying” content is. 

There’s “Fragments of Truth,” which examines the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts. There’s “The Most Reluctant Convert,” an onstage production about C.S. Lewis. And there’s “Archaeology and Jesus,” which follows scholars as they journey to Israel.

You’ll find historical documentaries about Martin Luther, Harriet Tubman and St. Patrick, as well as documentaries about science (“Incredible Creatures that Defy Evolution”) and travel (“St. Paul in Greece”).

The service has content for children, too, including “Torchlighters,” “Bible Agent 7” and “Gigi: God’s Little Princess.”

‘Motivated students of Scripture’

Reuben Evans, executive producer for Faithlife TV, calls it content for “motivated students of Scripture.” 

“There’s a certain time when, as you begin to grow and you get hungry, you start studying the Bible,” Evans said. “Maybe you go and get a concordance or you get a study Bible. Or you maybe even go get a commentary because you’re trying to dig into Scripture and go that next level. That is who Faithlife TV is designed for.”

If you’ve never heard of Faithlife TV, then perhaps you’ve heard of its sister company, the popular Logos Bible Software, which is made by Faithlife. 

“We’re used by pastors and professors and students of the Bible around the globe,” Evans said. “And so we’ve actually taken that experience and we have brought that into the area of media to produce films. … If you’re interested in really studying the Bible and digging into Scripture, we think we’ve got some fun films for you to watch.”

For Christian families searching for a streaming service that goes beyond the typical fare, Faithlife TV Plus is worth trying. Visit FaithlifeTV.com. 

Also worth watching this month: 

Hardy Boys, Season 2 (Hulu) — It’s a throwback detective series, based on the popular books about brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, who — in Season 1 — moved to the small town of Bridgeport, Connecticut, following the mysterious death of their mother. In Season 2, they continue their hunt for the truth. Season 1 was family-friendly, at least for older children. Let’s hope Season 2, which will be released weekly throughout April and May,  stays that way. TV-PG.

Animal, Season 2 (Netflix) — This documentary series takes cameras into the world’s most hard-to-reach places to capture stunning footage of magnificent creatures. Season 2 spotlights apes, bears, dolphins and birds of prey. If you enjoy PBS’s “Nature,” you’ll probably like Netflix’s Animal series too.

Rescued by Ruby (Netflix) — A state trooper partners with a shelter dog to train for the K-9 unit. This uplifting film is based on a true story and follows the parallel tales of two underdogs, Ruby the dog and Dan the trainer/state trooper. It contains minor language, although VidAngel offers a filter. TV-G.   

Raising Dion, Season 2 (Netflix) — A widowed mother strives to protect her young son from attention and from danger after he begins to display supernatural skills. “Raising Dion” isn’t for young children, but for older children and teenagers it might be worth a watch. Due to minor language and some thematic content, this is another one that works best with a VidAngel filter. TV-14.


Michael Foust has covered the intersection of faith and entertainment for more than 15 years. He is the husband to Julie and the father of four young children.
