You may recognize Priscilla Shirer from her powerful performance in the 2015 film War Room, which became a national phenomenon and began the movement of bringing faith-based feature films to mainstream audiences. Now, she reunites with directors Alex and Stephen Kendrick, known for Facing the Giants, Courageous and Fireproof, for their latest film, The Forge.
In the new movie, in theaters on August 23, Priscilla portrays Cynthia Wright, a single mother concerned about her son, Isaiah, who is a year out of high school with no plans for his future. Seeing his potential and trusting that God has a purpose for him, she begins praying for her son to find a mentor. Soon enough, a successful businessman comes into their lives to give Isaiah “discipleship”—a word used to describe helping one person learn about the Christian faith. Cynthia and her friend Miss Clara continue in their commitment to praying for Isaiah, and with his mentor’s guidance, Isaiah discovers newfound joy, ambition and purpose for his life.
Growing up as the daughter of respected megachurch pastor Dr. Tony Evans, Priscilla has personally known the benefits of mentorship and how encouraging it can be to help a loved one find their purpose. It has led her to pursue inspiring acting roles, share her wisdom through books and inspirational talks and start a ministry for women, Going Beyond Ministries.
Here, Priscilla opens up about The Forge, the ripple effects of spreading love in your community and what she prays for her sons.
