Christian Movies and Shows Available on Netflix

I admit it. We watch a lot of Netflix around here. I find there’s something for everyone there, from old favourites to new binge-worthy Netflix originals. But sometimes, especially during Lent, I like to put aside some of my indulgences and devote more time to my faith. These Christian Movies and Shows Available on Netflix are a great way of learning more about Christianity and drawing closer to God. There are even some family-friendly viewing options too that are perfect for sharing with your kids.

Please note: I have not seen everything on this list as of yet. I am planning to keep working my way through them but cannot say that each of these have my personal recommendation.
