Tyler Perry’s holiday drama follows Pastor Isaac and his wife Rebecca as they try to revive a failing New York church before Christmas, supported by a Kirk Franklin-produced soundtrack spanning gospel

Isaac’s Test as He Inherits a Church

Pastor Isaac (Durrell “Tank” Babbs) heads to New York with his wife Rebecca (Fantasia Barrino) and their family. The place he takes charge of is a family church in a declining neighborhood. Reviving the church is not simply a matter of repairs or administration; it becomes a mission to protect the community and his family before Christmas.

Amid doubts and temptations concerning his faith, as well as a threatening antagonist, Isaac must rediscover his voice as a preacher. The film places the church’s risk of bankruptcy and the family’s life within a single conflict, following how prayer and faith help them endure the crisis.

A Holiday Drama Centered on Gospel Music

Tyler Perry wrote, directed, and produced the film. The music was produced by Kirk Franklin and combines contemporary gospel, traditional gospel, rap, and holiday music. Gospel vocalists including Tank as Isaac and Fantasia Barrino as Rebecca, along with Fred Hammond, Ann Nesby, Shirley Caesar, Yolanda Adams, and CeCe Winans, appear in the film.

Release Information

The runtime is 1 hour and 43 minutes, and its U.S. Netflix release date is November 11, 2026. The personal conflict of reaffirming one’s faith and the community’s goal of saving a church at risk of closing come together under the time limit of Christmas.
