Many thanks to Angel for providing a one-month Angel Guild membership for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

As a mom, I’m constantly searching for entertainment that I can feel good about letting my kids watch, stories that spark conversation, teach meaningful lessons, and don’t make me cringe with low production value. That’s exactly why The King of Kings captured my heart.

My kids and I went to see King of Kings in theaters earlier this year, and it left us absolutely captivated. Now, I’m thrilled to share that King of Kings is available to stream on Angel.com and the Angel App, meaning families everywhere can enjoy this incredible film from the comfort of their own homes.

The King of Kings is Now Streaming on Angel.com

This isn’t your typical faith-based movie. The King of Kings is a visually stunning, beautifully animated retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, told through the eyes of a child. My children were so engaged, asking thoughtful questions about Jesus and His teachings in ways I’d never seen before. It’s become our go-to for Sunday afternoons, and I’ve even shared it with our Sunday School class. The conversations it sparks are amazing.

The Hopeful in theaters ONLY on April 17 & 18th

William Miller’s faith is in ruins. After miraculously surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions why God spared him. His search for wisdom leads to an astonishing prophesy — the world is going to end. The Hopeful unfolds as a story of a man burdened with the knowledge of Christ’s return. Miller’s message resonates with some—even as it is scorned by others. When a young woman named Ellen Harmon listens to one of his sermons she is transformed. And through her witness the message begins to take flight. The preaching grows beyond prophecy and develops into a more holistic vision for how Christians should live and worship. We see blossoming the seeds of a new global movement of faith —the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Hopeful is the true story of a community whose lives were transformed as they learn what it means to truly wait for Jesus. This sweeping drama, set in 19th century New England, invites audiences of all ages to imagine how hope can change the world.
