Undone Redone founders featured in film; second showing added

A new film blending a cinematic retelling of the Prodigal Son story with contemporary stories of freedom in Christ will feature Traylor and Melody Lovvorn of Undone Redone, a Birmingham-based recovery ministry.

“The Heart of Man” will be shown on Oct. 17 in select theaters around the U.S. following a strong response to the Sept. 14 showing. The film features emotional interviews with the Lovvorns and others who have walked out of a moralistic and behavior-centric journey with God and found healing, Traylor Lovvorn said. Traylor and his wife, Melody, are the founders of Undone Redone.

Several high profile people including William Paul Young, author of the New York Times best-selling novel “The Shack” and Dan Allender, author of “The Wounded Heart” also are featured in the film.

“It’s a story inviting us to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others,” according to the producers. “Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into. Freedom from performance. Freedom from managing our behavior so we appear acceptable to God. Freedom from our addictions, compulsive behaviors, secrecy and double lives.”

Traylor’s struggle with compulsive behaviors, including pornography and sexual addiction, led to the Lovvorns’ divorce after 11 years of marriage. After six years of divorce, the couple remarried and founded Undone Redone to help others recover from the devastating results of sin, shame and guilt.

Undone Redone is a 501(c)3 with a mission to help restore individuals and married couples who have been hurt by sexual addiction, sexual trauma, unfaithfulness and pornography and to offer prevention and protection parenting seminars and courses for families. Their popular podcast enjoys a huge following with over 10,000 downloads monthly and they provide individual offerings for men struggling with addictions and women who have suffered betrayal.

Undone Redone is a ministry partner of The Alabama Baptist.

The Lovvorns will join friends and family at the AMC Lee Branch 15 in Birmingham to view the film.
