A God’s Not Dead 2 review is the subject of this bonus episode. Adam and Dylan are back and join Jeff for another addition of Divine SINema. This movie takes place in the same town as the first God’s Not Dead. It is about a teacher named Grace who is a Christian and a teacher at a public school called Martin Luther King Jr. High. During a lesson on the civil rights movement a student asks about Jesus’ words in connection to Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi's non-violent protests. Grace answers by confirming that Martin Luther King Jr. especially was indeed influenced by the teaching of Jesus. When word gets out that Grace talked about Jesus in her classroom it leads to outrage among the school officials, community and even the ACLU. Things escalate quickly causing Grace to face a jury of her peers for her actions. Ultimately it is Jesus himself that is put on trial.
