The Forge, the latest film from the Kendrick Brothers, centers on mentorship, faith, and second chances. Priscilla plays a mother of nineteen-year-old -Isaiah – a young man struggling to find his way to manhood. When he meets an older man by the name of Joshua who takes Isaiah under his wing and invests in his life, Isaiah’s destiny begins to change.

The film tells the story of redemption, forgiveness and discipleship with humor, good story telling and real-life authenticity. Shirer brings authority, grace, and a quiet intensity to her role, making her presence felt even when she’s not the focus of the scene. It’s another strong example of how she brings ministry to life through film.
