ABOUT GROWN & GOSPEL

The six one-hour episodes follow five, career-driven childhood friends searching for success in the Detroit gospel scene and beyond. Navigating the murky waters of the music industry and hustling to step out of the shadows of their prominent parents…this close-knit crew grapples with their strict upbringing and high standards as they push towards being the new generation of Gospel. Hearts are broken, dark secrets revealed, as they work to make names for themselves in the music scene and balance their personal lives with career ambition.

DeVon Franklin Stars in ‘JESUS REVOLUTION,’ In Theaters Everywhere Feb. 24!

Special Preview Event on Feb. 22!

Hello World,

For the first time ever, producer, author and preacher DeVon Franklin is in front of the camera instead of behind it as he stars as Josiah in JESUS REVOLUTION. Josiah is a reporter with TIME Magazine. He’s been sent to report on The Jesus Movement that’s sweeping across the nation. JESUS REVOLUTION is a historical telling, bringing to life The Jesus Movement that swept the country in the late 60’s and early 70s. 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’s languishing church to an unexpected revival of radical and newfound love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a JESUS REVOLUTION.

Below is a DeVon talking about his role as Josiah:

That fro is wild, right?

DeVon is preaching today and discussing the film at Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas!

And below is the official trailer for the movie:

Directed by Jon Erwin and Brent McCorkle, JESUS REVOLUTION is produced by Kevin Downes, Jon and Andrew Erwin, along with Josh Walsh and Daryl Lefeve. Additionally, JESUS REVOLUTION was written by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn. The tagline is: When you open your heart, there’s room for everyone. Below is a pic from the Los Angeles Premiere.
