Aspen Kennedy plays Isaiah, a wayward teen who needs guidance after graduating from high school and according to the actor, the film carries an important message of acceptance.
“He doesn’t have a sense of direction in his life right now,” Kennedy told BOSSIP at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago. “He doesn’t wanna go to college, he’s heading on the path where he could get strayed away, but he’s blessed to meet some mentors in his life who help him go down the right path.”
“At the core of it, even from the filmmaking process, everyone wants people to understand the love of God without forcing it just to show, ‘Hey, this is you at this age,’ It supersedes generations, age, race, to the point where it shows no matter what you’re facing we’re always looking for answers, looking for hope, and if you trust God he does more than we could ever experience.”

His words reflect those of his costar Priscilla Shirer, one of the costars of the film that Kennedy said he learned from.
“It is an honor to partner with the Kendrick Brothers to bring another powerful story to movie screens that will impact people and glorify Jesus,” said Shirer who’s releasing her book I Surrender All through B&H Publishing Group. “The theme of discipleship is near and dear to my heart, especially as a mom to three boys. My prayer is that this film will inspire parents to pray fervently for their children and for the mentors that God will use to impact their lives.”
Priscilla Shirer is back with the Kendrick Brothers for THE FORGE and we can’t wait for August 23!
