The film will have a special preview event on February 22, 2023. JESUS REVOLUTION stars Joel Courtney (The Kissing Booth franchise), Jonathan Roumie (\u201cThe Chosen\u201d), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Father of the Bride), Anna Grace Barlow (\u201cThe Big Leap\u201d), DeVon Franklin (Breakthrough) and Emmy\u00ae award winner Kelsey Grammer (\u201cFrasier\u201d). The film was co-directed by Jon Erwin (I Can Only Imagine) and Brent McCorkle (Unconditional) and co-written by Jon Gunn (American Underdog) &amp; Jon Erwin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The true story of a divided moment in time when people came together by checking their preconceptions at the door \u2013 and formed a movement by listening to each other, looking beyond their own beliefs. This revival of radical and newfound love led to what TIME Magazine, in 1971, dubbed a JESUS REVOLUTION. SYNOPSIS: In the 1970s, young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places: until he meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher. Together with Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer), they open the doors of Smith\u2019s languishing church to an unexpected revival of radical and newfound love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a JESUS REVOLUTION. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/jesusrevolution\">#JesusRevolution<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/devonfranklin\">#DeVonFranklin<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/lionsgate\">#Lionsgate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1 1'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image001-2-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DeVon Franklin talks acting in Lionsgate film 'Jesus Revolution'\n\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-164176\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1970s, young Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) is searching for all the right things in all the wrong places: until he meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher.
