Faith Under Fire
When 17-year-old Matt Hart crashes his truck after a vivid dream about a school shooting at prom, he wakes up convinced it was more than just a nightmare. Haunted by prophetic flashes and a divine whisper—“Trust me. Keep the faith. Act.”—Matt teams up with Amy, a former friend who had the same vision. Together, they zero in on Evan, a bullied new student with a painful home life, a haunted past, and a hidden online presence that’s raising red flags.
As prom night nears, Matt and Amy try to reach Evan through faith, friendship, and a church retreat—risking their reputations and even their safety to stop a tragedy. But as the line blurs between mental illness, spiritual warfare, and divine purpose, Matt must confront whether his calling is to be a hero… or just someone who shows up before it’s too late.
Inspired by true events, Faith Under Fire is a grounded, heart-pounding story about prophetic dreams, youth ministry, redemption, and the power of showing up for the one who feels forgotten.
