The Forge
“Take yourself out of this movie.”
That’s what Jesus asked Alex Kendrick to do as he wrote the story for the newest film from the Kendrick brothers.
Perry and Shawna dive into a conversation with filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick about their new movie, The Forge, a story that gets at the heart of what it looks like to be a life-long apprentice of Jesus.
In The Forge Isaiah has some growing up to do. Just out of high school with no plans for his future, Isaiah is challenged by his single mom and a Jesus following businessman to make his life count for time and forever.
Through the discipling of his new mentor, prayers of his mother and a prayer warrior named Miss Clara, Isaiah is found by Jesus and finds himself caught up in the greatest story ever told.
From the Kendrick Brothers, the creators of the No. 1 hit WAR ROOM, comes THE FORGE, a new film that hits deep with the compelling call to “Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus.”

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.
