Why it's never too late to consider pro-wrestling

Fighting With My Family (2019) is a feel-good movie. My family loved it - and my 3 boys especially loved the scene with the bowling ball.

It’s the inspirational true story of how Paige comes from an oddball, underdog family but becomes a pro-wrestling superstar.

The movie ends with heart-warming shots of the real family – the mum, dad, brother, and Paige – and we see how down-to-earth they really are.

But maybe they’re too down-to-earth for Hollywood. Because Hollywood replaces them with good looking actors such as Florence Pugh and Lena Headey.

Hollywood’s message is that it’s ok to be the oddball. But only if you’re good looking.

This is where Jesus gives us a better story.

He comes down-to-earth as the oddball. But he wasn’t good looking! And he doesn’t care how you look either.

If you’re looking for a new tag-team partner in the wrestles of life, it might be time to join Team Jesus.

In Team Jesus you can be an oddball, not good looking, and a champion – all at the same time.

But the Spandex tights are an optional extra.
