Little sister, read the Bible and get to know Jesus. He has nothing in common with the prosperity gospel, he didn't even have a home. Jesus wants a relationship with you. Just talk to him. Every thing else is extra.
I'm muslim and oh girl we have the same thing over here " the whole godly girl should save the walking talking red flag " in our case its usually her husband 💀
That or the innocent pure sweet Muslimah who knows nothing of sin (usually a child) will marry her cousin usually twice her age to make sure she stays pure 🙄. My cousin herself is a runaway bride.
Same. I hate those films. It is reflective of real life and I hate that. Soo many Muslim girls are set up with an irreligious man to fix his imaan but it almost always messes things up. They did this in Ackley Bridge getting that guy a nice Pakistani wife, just for his irreligious self to cheat with some other woman. These girls can’t fix these low life’s. Also, these boys moms need to leave them alone and stop setting them up with decent women, Muslim or otherwise. They aren’t worth it
@@yourmotherhatesyou641 Have you ever seen those movies where it's kinda the complete reverse? A hijabi woman will basically take off her hijab in an effort to be attractive to a non religious man?
😭The toxic "it's women's job to correct and tolerate men's awful behavior" idea is literally so illogical. It's so sad how many people grew up with this garbage rhetoric.
The "I WANT A CHURCH GIRL THAT GI TO CHURCH... AND READ HER BIBLE!!!!" Vine is playing in my head and I just began the video. Edit: Hah!! She sang it!!
Ohh nooo! I was raised in a Prosperity gospel church too! I'm still a Christian though, God really helped me to work through all the trauma I got from all that. Had to unlearn some stuff and relearn that Jesus wasn't like that. Loved this episode Kennie!
prosperity gospel stuff is so weird to me considering it's the opposite of what Jesus taught. Americans are really so brainwashed by capitalism that corrupt church leaders made Christianity capitalist and hardly anyone noticed :(
@Mischа Rомо I think the worst part is that it's not just in America. I was born and bred in an African country and its just as bad. It's easy to trick people into the prosperity gospel when they're desperate for the basics. But at the end of the day, the truth remains the same. Christ never came to start a 'Get Rich Quick' scheme.
@@zuvarashe900 that's very disheartening :( I didn't realize it was so big all over the world! You are right, that the message hasn't changed...I love that last sentence ❤🔥
Kennie, I would love to chat with you more about your upbringing. Whenever you mention it, it's such a tease for me, as an excommunicated homeschooled Mormon survivor. Another great video as usual. I love that you took a second to talk about that hero complex bit of Christian relationship. SOOOOOO much pressure in those relationship! Don't settle for less than reciprocity. - Hannah
I can remember accidentally stumbling onto this masterpiece and finding out that the person that the movie is based on is the rich guy with the Ferrari (don’t come for me if I’m wrong; aka the pastor). This is the most chaotic movie I’ve ever seen so enjoy👍🏽. Correction: Lamborghini not Ferrari.
With the mention of how Christian women feel it’s their job to “save” their terrible partners, I feel like the movie War Room would make you flip a table.
I watched this when I was younger but I don’t remember much, would you be willing to tell me what you mean by this? I could find a trailer or synopsis but I love hearing people describe films, and especially their bad points, in their own words.
@Gune Umbird Basically, the woman has a cheating husband, and everyone around her is telling her that its HER job to fix her marriage by praying more and being a better Christian instead of confronting him
My mother is a Christian and loves that movie. And at that time, she had a shitty husband. I guess to couldn’t pray away the dysfunction of a man that had a rough life. So they are now separated
he's smart, he's rich ,he's good looking..supposedly a cop describing Jarule🤭🥳🤣whoever wrote this movie script deserves 50 lashes & I dont mean on the eyes🤦🏽♀️😵💫
It's based off a true story but everyone was an upper middle class (going on upper class) white "republican-ish" person. In case you were wondering how they got off easy comparable to their friends. And he's now one of those rich white people who aggressively declares themselves Italian American thus possibly not white.
I've watched 3-4 commentaries on this movie (all white/ish SJW creators) and Kennie is the first person to mention the racism, so there you go, diverse media criticism is important 😒
The only Christian movie I genuinely enjoyed and think was a good movie was a walk to remember. Also (unrelated) Kennie's random burst of song had me cracking up 😆
Religious trauma and pureflix are a match made in hell- you do you and you know your limits better than anyone, I just wanna be sure you don’t feel pressured to make content that actively harms you in the process ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this video, the film was trash and I’m so sorry it brought up painful stuff, you were hilarious and stunning as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Sandals sponsorship or whatever is going on there is extra hilarious when you consider that the Fyre Fest was set off to the side of a Sandals resort
Girl 😂😂😂😂 I hated this movie so much that I loved it. I’m a PK and loved the Cheetah Girls so🤷🏽♀️ But I am SO glad you took a moment to give insight and reflection to some Christian women being unnecessary martyrs, just to end up with MESS! Yousta be me, but not no mo. Only Jesus saves, not me. But I am sending special love to you as you go through the healing from your religious trauma ❤ (P.S. I also refuse to date club promoters…..and military men….and ministers :) no one I’d have to share and bear distance from.)
Gurl as someone with a lot of religious trauma(dad's a preacher, grew up in a religious household and now is agnostic much to my family's dismay, even to those who aint even christian) I couldn't bring myself to watch this movie. 2013, was when I was 15, around the time I left the church for good and started studying religion from an atheistic and historian point of view. I just didn't like any religious material that wasn't filtered thru an academic or comedic lense. Now as an adult I feel more comfortable in my agnosticism, I can step into a church without feeling like I'm going to crawl out of my skin.
I would LOVE to see you take on more of these Christ-sploitation films just cuz they are so hateful & hypocritical that they deserve to be torn a dozen new ones, however if they're too triggering for you I totally understand & respect if you don't. Much love to you & yours.
Love your takes on relationship, healing/unhealed, imbalance BS cuz i knew it well, like so many of us, and now recognise it as something i had to practice myself out of. The catharsis is next level so Yeah, I spat take laughed when you said "broken men, come to my bosom"...its funny because its relatable...sadly. Always here for those PAs on what BS has been normalised to tolerate by the old patriarchal structures , thank you for your service.
I don't know how what this says about bad black movies but Ja Rule's character is exactly the same as the trafficker weirdo (the one who speaks in nursery rhymes) in Ebony Hustle
Also, P.S. “Missionary Dating” never works. True conversion happens with an individual’s free-will, no coercion or pressure. I tried missionary dating in the past, in hopes of converting someone with my love. And My Lord those relationships crashed and burned the most
KENDALL! there’s a new netflix show called “perfect match” it’s a dating show hosted by the Lachey’s and it looks messy!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a video on it
My favorite Christian life coach has this saying “you don't date someone because they have potential... Crackheads have potential too don't mean you're going to date a crackhead” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 If you truly follow and walk with Christ, you wouldn't even waste your time dating. These movies be having it twisted lol
@@NamjoonsWifi you misread everything that I’ve said. But to answer you last question, it’s referred to as a kingdom spouse. The person that God has in His will as far as who you’re going to be with.
@@MissDeenaB94 Ohh, that’s what you mean. You said that if you truly walk with/follow Christ, you wouldn’t waste time dating, that’s why I misunderstood you.
Grew up Christian. I was today years old when I found out the Song of Solomon book in the Bible was freak nasty stuff. It was conveniently skipped over in Bible school.
There are a few things that are very confusing to me as someone who was raised Christian: no one kisses that soon maybe ever until their wedding (my sister did this), the girls are showing too much skin, and from my understanding Christians are the biggest fans of weapons.
Y’all ever read the book If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin…if you have y’all remember Fonny mama…this movie feels like it was made by her crazy ass. It’s a very specific reference and a lot of people may not get it but it’s too perfect to ignore 😅
As Kenny mentions, that trope of "Good woman is responsible for saving the bad boy" is everywhere. Just look at a bunch of YA novels we grew up with. 😉
Christian ideals seep into so many aspects of Western culture, even if we don't realize it because it's not explicitly stated. It's equally interesting and triggering to learn about how much of our current system is based off of these 'pure' Christian ideals which may not necessarily be objectively good, like.. can't escape fr
It's weird how being/ becoming a christian is treated like it's the ultimate moral shield to the point that law enforcement can't do it's job; like, "This person can't _possibly_ be committing a crime/ hurting people, they're a good christian!", I say this in what happens in the movie and in real life
I see this all the time with priests and stuff who get accused of pedo stuff, sexual abuse and other shitty things, and ALL THE CHURCH GOERS will say it's fake news and not believe the victims.
I watch quite a bit of true crime docs and you'd be amazed how many murderers seem to think if they tell the cops they're christian they will be let go, it's wild.
@@glynsareia Or they finally agree THIS creep was a problem, sure, but they weren't a REAL Christian!!! Like babe...he was a minister/priest/spiritual advisor/elder...studied and tested and had to be approved to the position of power they had. Certified 100% Grade A Christian. How much more Christian can you get
Also a Christian here, and I would say the only Christian movies I’ve seen that don’t totally embarrass me are The Prince of Egypt (which you could also refer to it as any Abrahamic religious movie tbh) and maybe The Shack
As a “devout Christian” I’ve seen too many “church girls” lower their standards and pick trash dudes just because the guy has “potential” and can “minister the gospel to him”. Nope, nope nope nope nope please don’t do this nonsense it always ends up terrible and then y’all end up blaming others At the end of the day God doesn’t want us to be dumb like Adrienne’s character.
In the same boat those girls don't realized how inconsiderate they themselves are. Not only are you dating who maybe aren't the greatest, but you are pushing your beliefs on them. "You, who have already told me you don't like going to church, has an excuse everytime I ask you to go and it's starting to annoy me". STOP asking your partner do things they've explicitly told you they don't wanna do maybe???? This goes for everyone not just religious pricks like this. Either accept that y'all aren't compatible and find someone who does want to go with you, or pick something y'all'd both wanna do 🙄🙄. This urks me to no end. The gifting of a bible was also a major red flag for him. At the end of the day, he's violent and impulsive and she doesn't understand boundaries. They do not need to be together.
@@blueismylove3128 no he said he was Christian or wanted to be Christian to try and get with her, because he knew that’s the only thing she would accept. She wasn’t pushing boundaries she was holding him to the standard he professed to aspire to. There is a difference between in house and out house religious conversations: if you do not claim to be a part of the group no one cares what you do because there’s no reason you would act differently, if you are claiming to be a part of the group there are rules and a standard by which you are measured objectively, period. This is also because the behavior of people like both characters in this movie, neither of which are really Christian but claim to be Christians, will be used by people like you to generalized Christians as a whole which isn’t cool.
And what happened to being with someone who is equally yolked? I'd think that would be more encouraged lol. You can try and help people change their ways without dating them.
If I had a nickle for every piece of media that had a man who wasn't really all that religious pretending to be religious to impress/woo/bed a religious girl named Vanessa,I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot,but it's weird that it's happened twice
@@Roma-kp4qg maybe fresh prince? I think there was an episode where will got told off by phil bc he pretended to be religious(?) to sleep with a girl.
Kennie: I don't know why Christian movies tend to be cringy & not good. Typically, these movies tend to be made to either just pander to Christian audiences or just be a morality play for the audience. Which is ironic for this movie because they could have had Miles willingly accept his sentence from his own crimes & have that show him as being reformed.
That would have been better instead of just sweeping the crimes under the rug because he got 'saved'. It's the gest out of jail free pass. Whelp, just screw his past, he came to Jesus so now he doesn't have to pay for his crimes.
As someone who unfortunately had to watch quite a few Christian movies as a kid, I think (generally speaking) they really struggle with complexity- a lot of the time they function on very black and white logic and therefore have very black and white characters. The character arcs (if they have one) is almost always "bad/less Christian person becomes good/more Christian" and that's all you get. Plus they really love tropes as well, so the plot tends to be pretty clear two seconds in (especially because, again, you kind of know where everyone's arc will end up). Mostly you tend to get the 'so bad it's good' bits from them bending over backwards to make really creepy/awkward/bland stuff in the plot seem wholesome, romantic, or interesting.
Kennie: *randomly sings a Charlie Wilson song for 30 seconds straight* Editing Kennie: "Yeah leave all that in, it's still more entertaining than J Rule"
Lowkey, me and my mom (a Christian and a Cameroonian) were going to watch this with other christian movies while doing my hair. We put it on and a few mins in she was like "this is ghetto, change it" ( not exactly but it was the vibe) and yeah I changed it 🙂 soo... yeah it was that bad🤣
Aww a fellow Cameroonian ❤️ My mom and I tried to watch it too and couldn’t make it half way through the movie because it was too cringey. 😅😅We ended up reverting back to Nigerian Christian movies (because those are the best ones.)
I also grew up in a Christian household but the idea of “I’m gonna change a bad boy with my good girlness and Jesus” was never something on my mind. I didn’t think I was good enough for God so I was the one trying to find a devout Christian guy who could help me strengthen my faith. Well, in high school I thought I did find one, but he ended up being the most misogynistic and disrespectful guy I ever met. Once I told him that I was interested in dating him, he gave me a list of rules I had to follow. Some of the rules were, I had to wear shapeless clothes so I don’t “tempt” him, I wasn’t allowed to go to events without him, and I had to attend his church with him every Sunday, to name a few. I’m glad I ended up not dating him because I can only imagine how miserable I actually would’ve been.
Girl you dodged a bullet. That man wasn't looking for a girlfriend or wife but a servant. None of that is biblical. You shouldn've told him all you got to do is praise the Lord, live and Die.
First off, yikes, Christian or not, that guy is a creep and he has no business telling ANYONE how to dress. Second, as a Christian, you said something that concerned me and that was that you thought you weren’t good enough for God. In Christianity, there is no such thing as good enough for God. In the Bible it says that everyone is wicked and the only thing that saves us is the grace of God. None of us are good on our own, it’s all because of how God has changed us. Paul, one of the “writers” of the Bible, was actually a murderer before he came to God. Anyways, I’m starting to ramble, but please don’t think you have to be good in order to know God. Okay, byeeeee 🖤
Religious trauma does fr make movies like this harder. My parents are religious, but luckily, they're super chilled. I've got a lot of super religious relatives who have done so much messed up stuff to us. Not them disowning us because my mom got remarried after my dad literally died🙂
I was always taught the exact opposite when came to dating. I was always told If he ain’t Christian don’t waste your time. You can be his friend but don’t date and try to make him Christian it’s something he has to do on his own. God wants that people to come to him on their own he doesn’t want people forced into it.
As someone that grew up in a religious household but isn’t religious, this movie is the biggest eye roll for me, like there’s so many things that irk me about this film but it’s mainly due to my personal religious trauma, especially as someone that’s a part of the LGB(T)Qunity
Oh my god 🤣 as a religious The Real viewer (pun intended), seeing you review this movie is hilarious, knowing Adrienne mentioned it so many times on the show
Hahaha the church girl wearing short skirts and showing cleavage??!!??😯😳 No, but seriously, I'd have been crucified for wearing any of the "sinful" clothes shown on Adrienne in this movie.
Big same. I was in praise and worship and was told one day (because my skirt was too short) that just in case someone comes in, they couldn't have me as a representative of the church. I've also been made fun of by grown women because I have a big chest. Something I can't help! Part of the reason I have body issues.
@Sweetienique You shouldn't have been made fun of. And if your skirt was short. They could've given you a shawl or scarf. Our church keeps extra if any one needs one.
