But it\u2019s his role as a father that finds him interviewed in the new documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/hecallsmedaughter.org\/\"><strong>HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex is the father of four daughters (among his six children).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGod is not a reflection of our broken earthly fathers. He is a perfect Father who heals what we thought could never be healed,\u201d Alex says. \u201cWe will project the traits of our earthly father onto God\u2014for better or worse.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex shares these thoughts about the movie and fathering on <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilmfan.com\/podcast\">The Faith Film Fan Podcast<\/a> with Rick Altizer, the co-host of the FFF Pod. More importantly, Rick is also the director of <strong>HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER<\/strong>, his follow-up to directing the Kendrick Brothers\u2019 only documentary, <strong>SHOW ME THE FATHER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After interviewing Alex, Rick then joined Alita Reynolds (our other co-host) to share his thoughts as the film\u2019s director. To start that podcast, Alita tells listeners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER<\/strong> is such a great film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We definitely agree with Alita and would encourage you to listen to both podcasts before seeing the movie in theaters March 16 or 17 only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s only one perfect father. And your dad\u2019s not it. Men, your job is to lead your daughters to the perfect father,\u201d Rick says. \u201cWe all have this piece of glass, and on this piece of glass is a picture of our earthly dad, an etching of our earthly dad. And we look up at God through that piece of glass and we project onto God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie brings together the stories of women who range from having great dads to having heartbreaking experiences as daughters. Chonda Pierce, Lynsi Snyder, Meg Meeker, and BJ Arnett are among the women who share their stories in the movie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo many women are deeply involved in church yet still feel disconnected from God as Father\u2014and they don\u2019t know why,\u201d Rick shares. \u201cWhen a woman realizes she is truly God\u2019s daughter, everything changes\u2014her identity, her healing, her future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can experience <strong>HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER<\/strong> in theaters March 17 or March 18. Be sure to check out the trailer and find a link to tickets on the <a href=\"https:\/\/faithfilmfan.com\/new-releases#he-calls-me-daughter\">FFF New Releases<\/a> page. And if you go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/hecallsmedaughter.org\/\">movie\u2019s website<\/a>, you can also download a free Bible study based on the movie\u2019s themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGo watch it together. Make your plans right now,\u201d Alita says. \u201cAnd then grab the curriculum and complete it together.
