Though Hillsong United is arguably the world's most popular Christian worship band, the documentary film revealed that band members are hardly affluent. As band member Jad Gillies said, “It’s not worth what we’re being paid, but it’s worth what we’re doing.

“But the success of “Let Hope Rise” cannot be measured by the standards of Mammon, the god worshiped by the secular world, but by the Great Commission the risen Christ issued to his followers”

Haven’t seen the film, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of people who pay to see it are already Christians.

I really liked some of the older Hillsong songs by Darlene Czech. Unfortunately the theology of the hillsong church is prosperity gospel gunk.

The founder of the church actually wrote a book called “You Need More Money”

And if it sells another million in albums, they’ve partially offset the cost of the film.

The movie wasn't about the hillsong team who built the name, by hard work no doubt but instead , it was about the next generation of musicians who started out as a youth band, and was basically handed to them the stage in support of the main ministry which the movie doesn't even talk about.. other than this complaint , it was truly amazing that a documentary movie about a church could be played nation wide in theaters ,
