Flywheel (2003)
Jay Austin, a dishonest car salesman in lots of debt, comes to a turning point in his life in which he becomes a born-again Christian, turns from his dishonest way of business, and begins to trust in God to take care of him. Even when things get difficult he trusts God, and God provides him with a way to pay off his debt honestly.
In every man's life there's a turning point.

The movie was filmed with one camera, which they received the same week they planned to start filming.
They originally expected the film to be just a local ministry. Their local theater agreed to play it for maybe a week, but it ended up playing for many weeks, and was then taken to a couple other theaters, and eventually released nationwide on video.
Mac George, who plays the banker from Franklin Bank & Trust (George MacDonald) is the real-life owner of the car lot (Mac George Motor Cars) in Albany.
The sermon Jay (Alex Kendrick) briefly watches on TV the night before he gives his life to the Lord was a real sermon from a real service at the Sherwood Baptist Church. It was not staged, and didn't have a written script.
People have noticed that after Jay gets right with the Lord, he's often wearing brighter clothes, but that wasn't planned or intended.
Continuity
When Jay and Kevin are talking about getting more money for the cars, Jay says, "Kevin, we're not gonna go that route." But when the same conversation, as recorded by Kevin's hidden camera, is shown on the TV report, he says, "Kevin, I don't wanna go that route."
