Sometimes the most powerful story behind a movie is the one unfolding in the lives of the people making it. Brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone of For KING + COUNTRY join Ginny Yurich to discuss their new Revolutionary War Christmas musical, Drummer Boy, and the remarkable real-life reconciliation that took place while bringing it to the screen. As they worked on a story about two brothers divided by war, their own relationship with another brother had fractured, forcing them to confront the very forgiveness their film portrays.
The conversation also reveals the unconventional upbringing that shaped their extraordinary creative family. Raised in a homeschooling household of seven children, the Smallbones learned to embrace failure, persevere through disappointment, and take on meaningful responsibilities long before most adults would consider them ready. From discovering the value of a child's smallest gifts to remembering simple afternoons outdoors, this conversation celebrates faith, family, resilience, and the courage to begin again.
Make sure to catch Drummer Boy this weekend!
