4-time Grammy Award Winner, Luke Smallbone of for KING + COUNTRY, chats about the movie about his family called Unsung Hero: When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum's faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs. I believe in the power of family. I believe the family is more powerful today than it has been in the history of the world and yet we do not value family quite as much as we should. If you want to change the world go home and love your family. That is the heartbeat and the blueprint behind this movie Unsung Hero. -Luke Smallbone With everything in me there are three things I want to be successful: I want to walk with Jesus. Not just follow but I want to walk with Him.I want to have a successful marriage andI want to be a good father. If I do those three things, I don't think God cares about my occupation that much. But I think he cares about my obedience and my faithfulness.Through obedience you find your calling.Don't try to find your calling before your obedience.-Luke Smallbone For shows and more subscribe at parentcompass.tv/subscribe.
