Everyone thinks you've got it together. But inside, you're asking, "Am I enough?"

No matter how good we look to others, the nagging voice of self-doubt is hard to shake. We ask questions like:

• If people really knew me would they still accept me?

• Will I be rejected when I can't perform?

• Can I pull this off?

• What if I end up alone?

• Am I missing out on what life should be because I can't shake this fear?

If you find yourself having thoughts like these, Erica Wiggenhorn wants to lead you to freedom. Drawing from the story of Moses—the greatest self-doubter in the Bible—Erica shows how self-doubt is tied closely to self-reliance. It's only when you cast yourself on God that you find the true source of strength.

Are you enough? The answer is no . . . but your God certainly is. Step out in His power instead of your own and watch your confidence blossom because you're in the hands of I AM.

Combining humor with a poignant message that is important today, concerning how churches can go too far in trying to attract new people, leads to this well directed movie with a stellar cast. Now out on DVD, we hear some more insight from the Director and Lead Actor/Writer. And have a great time in our discussion. Thanks mainly to Thor’s ability to weave his humor in and out of the pertinent message.

As the days pass and the secrets about their past are revealed, they learn that they might not have been looking for each other...but they may have been brought together for a reason.

A FATHER’S LEGACY is Jason Mac’s feature film directorial debut. He began storytelling as an actor in Atlanta on shows such as “Vampire Diaries,” “Castle,” and “Criminal Minds” among others.  After moving to Los Angeles, he noticed actors were a single piece of the greater puzzle.  Jason began looking for and creating projects to  be more involved in the entire process, calling this his ‘film school.’

Jason directed numerous shorts which played at festivals across the country such as the Los Angeles International Shorts Festival.  The shorts varied in length and tested and honed his filmmaking skills.  From there, he knew it was time to make the jump to features.  Enter A FATHER’S LEGACY.

For today, there is an entire class of Americans who face discrimination under the law, who are treated like property, and who are regarded by some as sub-human. They are held by our courts as unworthy of legal protection, just as the courts once held slaves. They are innocent of any wrongdoing, yet persecuted because of who they are.

How can the dream survive if we murder the children?
