3/5
The sixth and final episode builds to the last game of the regular season before cramming the playoffs into a closing montage. It’s an anti-climactic conclusion for an otherwise compelling series, though I’d absolutely watch a 2nd season if it comes back. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 09/13/2023
3/5
The camaraderie within the high school team featured in God. Family. Football. is palpable, and the players' candid discussions about societal pressures along with their self-deprecating humor create many relatable moments. Go to Full Review
Michael Clark Epoch Times 09/01/2023
2/5
As entertaining as these side stories are precious few of them have anything to do with football. There’s a distinct and lurid, reality TV, train wreck air accompanying too much of the production to make it recommendable to pure high school football fans. Go to Full Review

4/5
While God. Family. Football. doesn’t reinvent the wheel of football docuseries, the cast of characters involved in it makes it unique and worthy of watching. Go to Full Review

See more Anna P @RT43639815 09/06/2023 I absolutely Loved the the story of Evangel and enjoyed the family-friendly content. It was great to see this team "work" their way back into competition. We need more shows like this one, which inspires our faith!!! See more Faye O @labornotinvain 09/03/2023 This 6-part series follows a storied high school football team coming off a couple of the worst seasons they've seen, but the return of legendary Pastor and Coach Denny Duron injects a new burst of hope as Evangel makes a run at making their dream of a Championship come true. The documentary does a great job of showing the culture of the school, and the hard work and determination the boys have put into playing the game. The boys love the game and have big dreams that hinge on their team having a good season. I loved the sense of belonging and family that the boys felt towards their team. Their coaches are both godly men and wonderful role models, and the boys are constantly encouraging each other and lifting each other up. I loved how the show doesn't shy away from showing how their faith is the biggest part of what they do. A compelling series that takes you with Evangel's football team through the highs and lows of the season. This is a show that you can watch with the whole family, it highlights the comradery between the boys, their hard work, and their faith. A feel-good, docuseries that gives a glimpse into Evangel's quest for a comeback, highly enjoyable! #GodFamilyFootballFV #GodFamilyFootballMIN #FreeveePartner @AmazonFreevee #MomentumInfluencerNetwork Many thanks to Amazon Freevee for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own. See more Cover L @RT72753328 09/01/2023 "God.Family.Football." is a heartwarming and motivating docuseries that focuses on the journey of the Evangel football team and their head coach, Denny Duron. This series emphasizes the values of faith, family, and teamwork as central pillars in the lives of both the players and the coaching staff of the Louisiana high school team. The backdrop of Evangel's challenging 2020 season, where they faced a difficult record of 0-9, sets the stage for a powerful story of redemption and determination. The fact that Coach Duron returned to lead the team of mostly eighth and ninth graders and guide them towards a state title emphasizes his commitment to instilling a strong sense of belief and resilience in the young players. The personal backstories and struggles faced by the players and their mentors adds depth to the series, showcasing the fire inside them that gives them the strength to overcome. I loved witnessing their growth, love for God, and incredible team spirit. They radiate with character and stir the heart with their stories of perseverance and conviction. This show goes beyond the realm of sports. It delves deeper into the realm of character, endurance, and conviction, growing its appeal to a wider audience—even those who might not typically be invested in football or sports-related content. This feel-good story of triumph over adversity is inspiring, exciting, and emotional. If you believe in putting God first, even if you're not a football enthusiast, you'll root for these incredible boys, their school, their families, and their faith. You might even be inspired to move mountains. Many thanks to Amazon Freevee for providing a sample of the product for this review.
