Unsung Hero
When David Smallbone’s successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future.
With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David and his pregnant wife Helen set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up.
Based on a remarkable true story, a mum’s faith stands against all odds: and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.
This is the family story of Luke and Joel Smallbone of For King & Country and their sister, Grammy-winning singer, songwriter Rebecca St. James.
Luke joins us to share the crash, burn, and resurrection of the Smallbone family in 1991, how the family decided what to reveal in the film about those dark days, what it was like for Luke to film his brother Joel playing their father.
He shares their struggle to find a female lead to play the role of their mom, and what it was like as a small boy to live through the extreme test of his family’s faith in the foreign land of America!
Unsung Hero, coming to theatres April 26, will move you to cry, to hold your family a little tighter, to believe in those you love, to hope when all hope seems lost and to keep your eyes on the God who provides every step of the way. You gotta see this film!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
