I was asked to review Episode #3, which was about Eleanor’s job putting her in a position where she can challenge accused children to break a negative cycle. When we, too, feel stuck or obligated to follow a path we feel uneasy or uncomfortable with, we should not be afraid to take a stand for ourselves and make a change. Change can be scary – because it usually means we’re stepping out into the unknown. But when God is calling for us to step out in faith or make a change, we should follow His voice and guidance, knowing that He will be there every step of the way with us.1
All in all, it was amazing. Great actors, great location and something I’m happy to recommend that you watch! Find out more below, and let me know if you think you’re going to watch, in the comments!

About Eleanor’s Bench:
Eleanor’s Bench tells the fictional story of a woman who grew up in inner city Washington, D.C., and ends up returning to her hometown to serve as a judge in the local juvenile court.
“She realizes that the people she is seeing (in the courtroom) are people who could have been her friends, they would have been her neighbors, and she decides that in order to make substantial change, she has to go back into her old neighborhood,” Schultze explained. “It’s about her journey from the streets, into a gated community, and then back into her old neighborhood.”
The story was inspired by Schultze’s own experience working with a campus ministry in the D.C. area helping young women who had dropped out of high school due to pregnancy earn their GEDs.
The lead character, Eleanor, is played by Karen Abercrombie, who has starred in multiple Christian films, including “War Room” and two feature films produced in cooperation with Liberty University, “God’s Compass” and “Extraordinary.” The series also stars Cameron Arnett (“I Still Believe”) and Demond Wilson (“Sanford and Son”).

I think we all need to look inside to see how we can try and help others. Pure Flix really makes you think!
This sounds like a great series with some amazing stories.
It is, Heidi. I was surprised with how the trials ended up being so positive for some. I pray that there are those in the justice system like Eleanor that want those people on the other side of the bench to live a better life.
