his entertaining movie called God's Not Dead: We The People is the fourth movie in this series. The movie follows the life of Pastor Dave and some home schooling parents who are in a group that the Pastor sponsors. They go up against the Marxist government with all their politically correct agenda for their right to have their children homeschooled.
God's Not Dead: We The People is a powerful movie with a strong Christian message that tells every Christian to stand up for their rights. The movie starts with the McKinnon family where they live in Arkansas, as they start their morning of homeschooling. A part of their learning includes theology and some reading with Pastor Dave as he reads to a group of
children in his church, St. Judes, with one of the two McKinnon children who is the youngest. But while Pastor Dave was speaking and teaching the children a lesson about the Flood in the book of Genesis, a official from the government showed up for a surprise check on the learning conditions at the McKinnon's house and he writes them up for a court summons, saying that their schooling is not politically correct. In the beginning, Pastor Dave really doesn't want to fight the government and he thinks about changing the home schooling program to along the lines of what the United States Department of Education wants in their schools today.

As they arrive, Pastor Dave meets with a Christian congressmen who takes the time to help him prepare for the fight that is ahead of him. Regardless of all the emotional arguments describing why Christian education considers the faith and the freedoms that America was founded on, the chairman that was listening was not moved at all about what he was hearing. Even despite Taylor Hayes plea about how her son has suffered trauma after the passing of his father, and it would be impossible for him to go to public school, still the chairman refuses to listen and dismissed everything. After spending almost a week in Congress pleading their case, all seems lost and it looks like all of the families involved in the homeschooling coop could be fined. But against all odds, will Pastor Dave and the parents have success by protecting their faith and liberty?
