As we have grown accustomed as a society to streaming movies from home, a number of different services have sprouted up. Some streaming companies are aimed at fans of horror, classic films, or international titles, but one that has been offered for the Christian demographic is Pure Flix. For those who have any experience with these services, you will know how often it happens that you will sit at home browsing the movies and TV shows being offered only to run out of time or call it quits out of frustration. Users who have Pure Flix or are curious at what some of the options from the company are, we want to offer you a sampling of what to watch on its service. Although you can see plenty of older television shows and movies that don’t strictly fall under the banner of “Christian” on Pure Flix, below you’ll find some of the recent faith-based works you can enjoy through the service. Titles come and go over time, but this is what to watch on Pure Flix today.
The story of Lee Strobel’s journey to faith is a rich drama for adults and teenagers. “The Case for Christ” walks with Strobel in his days as an investigative reporter when he set out to test out the claims of the Bible.

A film from 2003, “I Am David” shares the journey of a young boy who escapes from a Communist concentration camp.

Following the format of several Hollywood films over the years, “What If…” takes a man who has it all and allows him the chance to see how things would have gone if he had made a different decision at an important point years earlier.
