Lost what would be the equivalent of half $1 million,\u201d Joel told the host. \u201cLost the house, life savings, the car, everything. Got offered a job in Nashville, and to sort of salvage a dream. Went to Mom and said, what if we, you know, took our six kids, 16 suitcases, Mom was six months pregnant and moved continents and only to arrive and lose that job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd so with no way to get back to Australia, no car, no insurance, no way for us just to be born in a hospital with a high-risk pregnancy, we found ourselves banding together, raking leaves, mowing lawns, breaking child labor laws, probably, and overcoming together,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s a \u201990s film. It\u2019s a film that celebrates moms and music and miracles and the local community coming together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Luke elaborated on the theme of the film and said, \u201cOne of the famous quotes, we\u2019re actually using in the film, is a Catholic phrase from Mother Teresa \u2026 [who] <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">says, if you want to change the world, go home and love your family. And that\u2019s part of the reason why we made this movie, because we feel so strongly that family is that powerful, is just that powerful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Joel said that despite all obstacles their parents faced, they worked together and made it through, calling the film a \u201ctestament to their love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMom had found her dream,\u201d Joel said. \u201cShe always wanted to be a mom, and so she was living out her dream. And she really lifted up dad, and went literally and figuratively to the ends of the earth for him in search of his dream, which was to find himself in music, specifically Christian music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd out of that unexpectedly, there\u2019s another phrase in the film that says, your family is not in the way they are,\u201d he added. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cBut I have to note that this is so much more than just our family.
