Ethan Jenkins (Michael W. Smith) and Jake Sanders (introducing Jeff Obafemi Carr) are both passionate pastors who worship the same God from the same book--but that's where the similarity ends. White and well-to-do Ethan is comfortable in his music ministry at the media-savvy suburban mega-church, The Rock; Jake is a street smart African-American who ministers to the gang members, teen mothers, and drug addicts of the urban Second Chance.

Full Plot Details

Ethan Jenkins (Michael W. Smith) and Jake Sanders (introducing Jeff Obafemi Carr) are both passionate pastors who worship the same God from the same book--but that's where the similarity ends. White and well-to-do Ethan is comfortable in his music ministry at the media-savvy suburban mega-church, The Rock; Jake is a street smart African-American who ministers to the gang members, teen mothers, and drug addicts of the urban Second Chance. When they are suddenly thrown together in a tough neighborhood and forced to work side by side, Ethan discovers there is no boundary between the streets and the sanctuary. But can the faith these two men share overcome the prejudices that divide them to give themselves and a struggling urban church a second chance?

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kevin CrustA movie-of-the-week treatment of race and class, the film credibly portrays the day-to-day workings of an urban ministry.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisStartlingly direct if unavoidably preachy, The Second Chance takes aim at Christianity's racial divide and the corporatization of faith. Its message is simple: being a Christian requires more than just dropping a check in the collection plate every Sunday morning.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 6/10 by Sean AxmakerCompetently directed by Christian music producer Steve Taylor, it's a sincerely (if not exactly subtly) performed spiritual drama with a faith-based lesson in humility and the practical charity of offering a helping hand.
Variety - 6/10 by Justin ChangThe crisply made feature delivers an involving if not always persuasive portrait of religious leaders in conflict.
TV Guide Magazine - 5/10 by Maitland McDonaghAs a film, it is earnest, cliched, often awkward and unlikely to inspire anyone who isn't already thoroughly sold on its message of salvation through community activism.
New York Post - 5/10 by Lou LumenickIts message is sugarcoated in a schmaltzy, clichéd story line about Smith's conflicts with streetwise black minister (Jeff Obafemi Carr) - and sabotaged by hackneyed dialogue, sluggish pacing and a listless performance by Smith, who only springs to life when he's singing.
Film Threat - 5/10 by Chris ThilkThere are a lot of good messages in The Second Chance about how Christianity is a mix of love, both gentle and tough. Some of those, unfortunately, are lost in the uneven performances.
User Review - 9/10 by M.StoverVery well done. Shows the basics of Christianity and Humanity.
User Review - 9/10 by KentA.other than a few cliched characters, a well made and persuasive film.
User Review - 8/10 by MichelleGreat message needed for the church. Highly recommed for all Christians in the US.
