Hey! Did you know why Sylvester Stallone created "Rocky"?
Stallone was deeply influenced by his observations of societal challenges, including what he could see & we still see today as an increasing trend away from Christian values & he wanted to do something about it! Just like we should today! In his scriptwriting process, Stallone sought to counteract these negative influences by portraying the story of Rocky Balboa, a character who embodies perseverance, redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit. The Rocky films hold themes such as perseverance, determination, and overcoming adversity, which resonate with Christian values. The character of Rocky Balboa often displays qualities like humility, compassion, and the willingness to sacrifice for others, which are virtues Jesus calls us to in relationship with Him!
In Ephesians 6:12, it says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." This verse resonates with Stallone's motivation to depict Rocky as someone who faces intimidating obstacles with courage and faith.
The themes in "Rocky" reflect biblical principles of endurance and the belief that through faith, individuals can overcome challenges. While the films themselves do not explicitly promote faith in Jesus Christ as a central theme, we can see many parallels between Rocky's journey and biblical narratives of resilience and redemption. Stallone's intention was to inspire hope and resilience, encouraging audiences to find strength in their faith amidst adversity. With that said, have a blessed day and keep the faith! 🙏🏽❤️💯:)

YOU, Warrior Queen, are the chooser of your life.
As Tracee Ellis Ross shared, like many of us growing up, we were conditioned to dream of our wedding day.
From movies, TV shows, and magazines, there seems to be plenty of emphasis on girls living out a princess fairy-tale wedding.
Let’s change that narrative! We dream of many things: owning our own business, becoming a CEO, leading a country...to name a few. 💪
What do you dream of?
