The Rachel Scott drawing before has inspired millions of people across the world.

The film, which features Duck Dynasty stars Sadie, Kori and Bella Robertson, tells the story of Rachel Scott. Scott was a 17-year-old student who was tragically killed by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold in the 1999 Columbine High School shooting in Colorado.

13 people were killed in the massacre that day.

Growing up in Colorado myself, I’ve known about the devastation and memory of the shooting since I was five years old. I’ve competed in sporting events at Columbine High School, and I’ve even had teachers who were at the school on April 20, 1999 — the day of the shooting.

I first learned about Rachel Scott when I was a sophomore in high school. Her story and her legacy is so incredible that I’ve kept it with me for years since first hearing it. And the fact that Pure Flix captured it all in a feature film makes it all the more powerful.

Rachel was bullied throughout her high school years.

She was a devoted Christian teenager, open about her faith at school and unashamed to witness to others. But doing so took a toll on her reputation. She was made an outcast, betrayed and like any high schooler, she had her struggles. But through it all, she loved God greatly. Her diaries hold the words of her daily testimonies.

“I have no more personal friends at school, But you know what? I am not going to apologize for speaking the name of Jesus. I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put into me. If I have to sacrifice everything I will. I will take it. If my friends have to become my enemies for me to be with my best friend Jesus, then that’s fine with me.”

Three weeks before the shooting, Rachel witnessed to the shooters, Eric and Dylan. They too were bullied, outcasts and they really didn’t have any friends, but Rachel knew that all they needed was Jesus. Unfortunately, they were blinded by hate, and they even made videotapes mocking her Christian faith.

“I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.”

On the day of the shooting, Rachel was the first person shot on the school’s campus. Dylan and Eric shot her twice in the leg and once in the back. The boys walked away but returned seconds later after seeing she was still alive. Dylan grabbed her by the hair and asked, “Do you still believe in your God?”

When her unflinching and unwavering response was,“You Know I Do.” Eric told her, “Then go be with him,” and he shot her in the head.

The tragedy of Rachel’s story is only a matter of details. The rest is truly a matter of God.

After police cleared the school and investigated the event, Rachel’s backpack was returned to her family, complete with her diary. What they found inside was the foundation that continued the chain reaction Rachel lived for.

Two hours before the shooting, on April 20, 1999, Rachel drew a picture in her diary.

It was of her eyes shedding 13 tears that trickled down to a rose and turned to blood drops. Thirteen people were killed on campus that day. The rose was connected to a Columbine plant, with a Bible verse underneath it that says, “Greater love has no man than this, that a man would lay his life down for his friends.”

That drawing inspired her parents to write a book called Rachel’s Tears.

After her death, many students that Rachel had reached out to shared stories with the Scotts about the profound impact her simple acts of kindness had on their lives; even preventing one young man for taking his own life. They soon realized the transformational effect of Rachel’s story and started the nonprofit organization that is Rachel’s Challenge today.

Every day, 160,000 students skip school for fear of being bullied. Rachel’s Challenge exists to inspire and equip every person to create a permanent positive change not only in themselves but in their schools, their businesses and communities.

In the 25 years since the Columbine shooting, Rachel’s Challenge and the story of Rachel Scott has touched more than 22 million people.

Though Rachel’s Challenge is not involved or associated with the film in any way, Pure Flix has taken the incredible story of how one person’s compassion can start a chain reaction, and put it on an even greater platform.

Rachel’s life is a powerful testimony to the wonderful ways that God uses those who love Him. Her life was only 17 years long, but God has taken her legacy and touched millions. “I want you to use me to reach the unreached,” Rachel wrote to God in her diary.

I’d say He’s done just that.

Nanny’s immediate response is almost like astonishment, as she says, “Noooo! Why should I be scared? Honey, what’s there to be scared of.”

Continuing on about why she has no reason to be scared, the great grandma goes viral saying, “This [life] is just a little interim time. It’s a blip. It really is not going to amount to a hill of beans.”

Great Grandma Nanny is speaking of how a human life is only a tiny piece of all eternity. “Less than 100 years up to eternity doesn’t even cut it,” the great grandma goes viral saying.

And as Nanny explains, when our souls live for all of eternity, the span of a human life is relatively insignificant.

From where does Nanny base this view? The Bible. She tells her grandson, “Your faith is to be put in what that Bible says. That Bible presents to you the most marvelous…place to live and to dwell and to be happy and to be perfect.”

Having lived nearly 100 years, Nanny knows what it’s like to struggle and what it’s like to want a good life, but she has a realistic view of life, knowing that in life there will be trouble, as Jesus says.

“When we want perfection here, we’ll never, never, never get it,” Nanny says.

But Nanny looks toward heaven as a place where there will be perfection, and we’ll have all our hopes and needs fulfilled.

She says to her audience, “There is going to be perfection. Everything’s going to be lovely. No sickness, no sorrow, no…people out of work, no trouble in any direction.”

This great grandma goes viral helping fearful viewers understand that “There’s not going to be any of that stuff that worries the tar out of us here.”

And her viewers respond. One TikTok user said in agreement, “I’m a cancer survivor. It told people it’s a win-win either I get healed or I get to see Jesus!”

Another user said, “I believe this too but hearing her tell it…brings so much peace about my daughter who passed at 21, 8 years ago.”

And this isn’t the only video that Nanny has move people with.
