Anne Wilson’s “My Jesus” Story Heads to the Big Screen
The powerful testimony behind one of Christian music’s biggest breakthrough hits is coming to theaters.
Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company have announced they will bring Anne Wilson’s life story — the journey that inspired her chart-topping song “My Jesus” — to the big screen. Production is set to begin, with filmmakers describing it as a faith-filled “wish fulfillment” story rooted in trust, family, and devotion to Jesus.


From Grief to Global Anthem
Anne Wilson’s rise began in the middle of deep loss. After her older brother was killed in a car accident, the young Kentucky singer poured her pain and faith into music. The result was “My Jesus,” a raw declaration that Jesus meets people in their darkest places.
The song exploded. It topped the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, spent seven weeks at No. 1 on Christian Airplay, and made Wilson the first female solo artist since 2003 to reach No. 1 with a debut single. It later earned a GMA Dove Award and helped her debut album receive a Grammy nomination.
What began as a personal cry of faith became an anthem for millions walking through their own grief, doubt, and questions.


Why This Film Matters
Erin Westerman, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, said Wilson’s story stands out because it shows how trusting God can change everything. “Her true gift is a testament to the power of faith, family, friendship, love and devotion,” she noted.
In an entertainment culture often hungry for authentic stories, a major studio project centered on a young woman’s encounter with Jesus carries weight. It continues the growing wave of faith-based films that refuse to water down the gospel while still reaching wide audiences.


A Story Still Being Written
Wilson has continued to share her faith openly through music, performances, and interviews. Now that same testimony will reach movie screens, potentially introducing a new generation to the simple, life-changing truth at the heart of her song:
Jesus is real.
He meets us where we are.
And He is enough.
From a Kentucky living room to national radio, and now to the big screen, Anne Wilson’s story keeps pointing in the same direction.
To Jesus.
