Devoted Heart

A Modern Nativity by Bill Myers
A Film by Billy Dickson and Landmark Christian School

Prepare to be moved by Devoted Heart, a soul-stirring modern Nativity written by Bill Myers and brought to life by Billy Dickson and Landmark Christian School. In this tender reimagining of the timeless story, God’s boundless love shines through the heartfelt bond between Joe Shepherd and Mary McDermott, two ordinary people chosen for an extraordinary calling.

The film poses a profound question: What if Jesus came today? How would that story unfold in our world?

Set against the quiet beauty of a snowy small town, Joe’s anguish over Mary’s mysterious pregnancy leads him into a profound, dreamlike encounter with God’s embrace—a vision revealing the Savior’s arrival as a radiant gift of love for all people.

Scriptural echoes shine throughout: migrant workers as humble shepherds drawn by a celestial light, suited figures as modern wise men seeking the newborn King, and Charlie’s dying faith mirroring Simeon’s blessed peace—whispering the ancient words,

“Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace, as you have promised. I have seen your salvation.”

This holiday season, witness a miraculous testament to God’s love—for one another, and for all His people. Devoted Heart invites you to rediscover the wonder of the Nativity, reimagined for our time yet faithful to its eternal truth.

While some scenes carry emotional depth and intensity, each moment is crafted with care to inspire rather than disturb, making the film suitable for children aged 8 and up when viewed with a reassuring adult presence. Families are encouraged to watch and discuss together, exploring the story’s hope, faith, and divine compassion.

Experience the light of Christmas anew in Devoted Heart—where love is born again.

A Note to Parents

For parents, Devoted Heart offers a profound spiritual experience. The birth scene, while emotionally charged with tension and suspense, is tastefully presented—focusing on the sacred beauty of the moment rather than any graphic imagery.

We recommend viewing at parental discretion, particularly for younger children, as the film’s dramatic themes may evoke strong emotions. Parents are encouraged to watch alongside their children and guide thoughtful discussions afterward to deepen understanding and reflection.

Don’t miss this emotional masterpiece, arriving in theaters this holiday season—a moving reminder that God’s love still shines brightly in our modern world.
