A City of Light (2025)
This short documentary, produced by Christ Covenant Church in Atlanta, takes an in-depth look at church planting and missionary work in Paris, France—one of the most beautiful but most secular cities in the world. I loved how the film incorporated analysis of French history and its contemporary post-Christian culture, alongside glimpses into the good gospel work being done. It’s an inspiring, well-made film that made me instantly want to support these faithful gospel workers in the City of Light.
Releases Nov. 1. Watch for free here.
For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles (2016)
This unique documentary, narrated by actor Evan Koons, aims to give Christians a wider view of what it means to be in the world but not of it. Told in seven parts, the film ponders Christian mission (What’s our salvation for?) by looking at various examples of Christianity’s relationship to culture. More engaging and creative than your average faith-based film, For the Life of the World is a great option for a small group or class to watch and discuss together.

Luther: The Life and Legacy of the German Reformer (2017)
Another documentary released to coincide with the Reformation’s 500th anniversary, Stephen McCaskell’s film is narrated by Barry Cooper and features interviews with R. C. Sproul, Carl Trueman, Stephen Nichols, and many others. There’s no shortage of books and documentaries about Martin Luther, but Luther is especially well made and effective, featuring engaging animation, exceptional cinematography, and efficient editing.

The Unseen Realm (2019)
Based on the influential book by Old Testament scholar Michael Heiser, this documentary is a fascinating, informative exploration of the supernatural mysteries referenced at times in Scripture, for example the “divine council” in Psalm 82:1 or the “sons of God” in Genesis 6:1–4. This 70-minute film will give you lots to think about. But it’s not merely an exercise in intellectual stimulation; it’s a film that provokes wonder and worship as we consider the deep things of God.
