Even superheroes need to look for someone greater than themselves. According to a recent article, lead actor Cress Williams (who plays the DC superhero Black Lightning) believes God is working through the series to spread the gospel.

<p>Any Christian who grew up during the 90’s knows they experienced a golden age of faith-based media. DC Talk was on every radio, WWJD bracelets were in fashion, and all families had at least one Christian program that was their go-to source for entertainment. With our current pop culture experiencing a kind of “nostalgic renaissance”, it’s surprising more Christian series haven’t taken the chance to stage a comeback. The success of Christian films at the box office certainly suggests there’s an audience eager for more faith-based content.</p> <p><strong>But which of these nostalgic treasures deserves a remake for the modern viewer? It was a tough decision, but here are 10 Christian series we desperately need to reboot:</strong></p>

A new movie is slated to release that will tell the story of the deadly 1969 car accident with Sen. Ted Kennedy.

The great news is that recently active Christians are trying to make a difference for Jesus in the box office---even if many of their efforts are independent films (not supported by any Hollywood studio).

Last week, Affirm Films released Paul, Apostle of Christ to theaters. A seemingly perfect Eastertime flick, the movie tells the story of Paul “going from the most infamous persecutor of Christians to Jesus Christ’s most influential apostle,” according to IMDB.

“I Can Only Imagine” was the biggest Christian hit single of all time. It’s now a movie. And you might just take an unsaved friend to see it.

The film I Can Only Imagine held on in its second weekend at theaters. While most movies typically fall about 50 percent in their second weekend, Imagine only dropped 19 percent and expanded to 600 more theaters across the country.

Mario Lopez is a new man-- his Jordan River baptism followed in the footsteps of Jesus as a perfect celebration leading up to Easter Sunday.

Of course an actor like Hugh Bonneville would be captivated by the drama of the last week of Jesus’ life, with his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, his challenging of the priests in the temple, his betrayal by Judas and his sentencing to crucifixion at the hands of a mob.

The recently-released Christian film I Can Only Imagine shocked critics this past weekend at the box office by bringing in $17.1 million even though it was only shown at 1,629 locations.
