I am excited to present a documentary for women who feel a void in their hearts and are searching for ways to fill it. The day my father passed away was the day my world fell apart, and now, almost 26 years later, I still carry that emptiness from missing him. He played a significant role in my life, and I often think about how God should be able to fill that space. I wonder if perhaps I am the one holding back. I'm not sure if this documentary will help alleviate that void, but I am certainly going to watch it and find out.
About He Calls Me Daughter
HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER is for women who have felt unseen, unsupported, or unsure
of their worth. Through intimate, first-person stories, viewers follow women as they begin
to name the pain they’ve carried for years: *father wound*. Audiences are invited to reflect on their own story as they walk alongside these women on a journey toward healing. HE CALLS ME DAUGHTER is an invitation to experience the love of a Father who does not withdraw—One who offers peace, belonging, and restoration.

This movie resonates deeply with parents like myself who have dedicated their lives to keeping their children safe. It explores one of the most terrifying nightmares that we all pray will never happen to our kids. Sometimes, despite our best efforts and the precautions we take, bad things can still occur. Join me in watching how Hope perseveres and finds healing after her rescue.
Synopsis: Hope, a teenager embedded in a close-knit community, finds herself in grave danger when a person she considers a new friend reveals a sinister side. Torn away from everything familiar, she is thrust into the horrifying world of sex trafficking, where her identity is stripped away. After a harrowing escape from her captors, Hope comes to realize that survival is just the beginning. Her journey, inspired by true stories, powerfully illustrates the immense courage required to navigate the intricate path of recovery and reclaim her life.
February 5! (A portion of ticket proceeds will go towards organizations that care for victims of trafficking.)
Check out the trailer below.
Please check back here after February 3, 2026, for my review.
First of all, while I would love for every child and parent to see this film, it contains deep and painful visuals that may be too intense for the whole family. Please proceed with caution, and if you are a parent, I recommend watching it first to determine if your child is ready for this movie.
This film left me feeling numb but also hopeful for other children and adults who are taken and thrust into a life they did not choose. Escaping or being rescued does not end the trauma that has occurred. Special care must be taken during the healing process. Although there are clear appeals for God to be the healer and many Christian perspectives that I support, healing ultimately depends on the victim's ability to recover both physically and emotionally. This process can vary greatly from person to person.
Overall, this movie is riveting, raw, and realistic, while also depicting healing, support, and survival.

As I delve into my CSB Women's Study Bible, I am truly amazed by the richness of information it holds. Though it may feel heavy and overwhelming at first, with time you'll come to cherish the abundance of wisdom it offers.
What I adore about this Bible is the thoughtful inclusion of two ribbons for marking your place, along with maps, images, and profiles of influential Christians throughout history. The book introductions feature outlines and timelines that deepen understanding and enhance the journey.
However, I must note a couple of drawbacks. The words of Jesus are not highlighted in red—a detail I find significant. Additionally, those with vision challenges may require a magnifying glass to read the fine print at the bottom of the pages, where references are located. The overall text size is quite small, and I hope a larger print edition can be created, though I understand that it may come with added weight, which might not suit everyone.
Overall, this is a remarkable reference book crafted by women for women, celebrating the powerful roles of women in the Bible and inspiring them to guide and uplift one another in faith.
