About
HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL is a satirical comedy starring Regina Hall as Trinitie Childs - the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, who together with her husband Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown), once served a congregation in the tens of thousands. But after a scandal forces their church to temporarily close, Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must reopen their church and rebuild their congregation to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen.

Reviews
- "Featuring stars Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown doing predictably divine work (do these two performers know any other way?), HONK FOR JESUS is equal parts hilarious and painful, an incisive upbraiding of the sorts of people who should have long ago realized no one — especially nattily attired pastors — is above God."
- IndieWire - "The film’s characters are human and, while they’re afforded depth and nuance, Ebo isn’t interested in coddling them or excusing Lee-Curtis’ behavior. And it’s in the balanced exploration of characters and religious hypocrisy, the blending of the facetious with the serious that makes the film worth the watch."
- Screen Rant - "Despite its subject matter, HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL. refuses to preach to us, instead using comedy as a chisel, slowly chipping away at evangelical hypocrisy."
