3. Dot Conner: Webtective

A teenage sleuth must navigate her first week of high school while investigating the mysterious disappearance of her father. This fun and clever faith-driven movie is based on the streaming series of the same name and is reminiscent of the Spy Kids franchise, the series that blended family-friendly humor with high-tech adventure. Gili Gould is perfect in the lead role but -- honestly -- every young actor in this film shines. Rated PG for some action/violence and thematic elements. Sept. 19.

4. The Senior

A 59-year-old seizes a second chance at college football, 37 years after being dismissed from the team for fighting. This faith-based film is based on the true story of Mike Flynt, whose story made national headlines in 2007 when he suited up for Sul Ross State University, more than three decades after an altercation got him dismissed prior to his senior season. Flynt credits his faith in Jesus to his perseverance and determination. Rated PG for thematic content, violence, language, and a suggestive reference. Sept. 19.

5. Soul on Fire

A 9-year-old boy fights for survival after a tragedy leaves him with burns covering 100 percent of his body. This faith-based film tells the true story of John O’Leary, a man who faced a grim prognosis in the days and weeks following the incident -- he lost his fingers, for example -- but ultimately discovered hope, faith, and a renewed purpose that transformed his life into a powerful testimony of resilience and God’s grace. Today, O’Leary is one of the nation’s top motivational speakers. Rated PG for thematic content including burn injuries, some peril, and suggestive material. Oct. 10.

A military widow, searching for her missing family Christmas ring, crosses paths with a charming antiques dealer who may hold the key to its whereabouts. Along the way, she discovers romance.

7. Sarah’s Oil

It stars Naya Desir-Johnson and Zachary Levi. Rated PG for thematic content, some violence, language including racial slurs, a suggestive reference, and brief smoking. Nov. 7.
