Here at Focus, we’re all looking forward to tonight’s “Irreplaceable” movie premiere.

It’s been months of praying, planning, filming, editing and promotional work. By God’s grace, the final result is a film we are proud of – and humbled by.

God turned what started as an effort to highlight the cultural attacks on today’s families into a deeply personal piece for movie host Tim Sisarich. His emotional journey is one that will surely resonate with viewers, as we all have areas of our life that need to be tested and sanctified.

We’re praying for full theaters across the nation tonight – after all, just as family is a universal need, we feel like this movie has universal applications. To that end, we’re praying that everyone who watches “Irreplaceable” will leave the cinema challenged and inspired.

We’re also hoping that a strong showing tonight will send a message out, loud and clear: there are people who believe God’s design for family is best. We want to be equipped and to do what it takes to stand, in love, for family. We want men, women and children across our country and world to enjoy the blessings of doing family God’s way.

Seats are selling fast, so be sure to purchase your tickets before you head to the theater at www.irreplaceablethemovie.com.

And to those of you attending tonight’s premiere, please consider joining the larger community taking part in this important one-night event by using the hashtag #Irreplaceable across all social media channels. We want to see your pictures, watch your videos and read about your experiences!
