Joe Kennedy wants you to stand up, or kneel down rather, for what you believe in! Joe was a high school football coach who was under fire for taking a knee in prayer after games. Eventually he was fired, launching a seven-year legal battle for religious freedom that went to the Supreme Court. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Joe to hear his life story first-hand before the major motion picture, "Average Joe," hits theaters nationwide. Hear the compelling personal account of Joe's troubled youth, years in the Marine Corps, and his testimony that led him to finding God, and his wife. The unwavering true story "Average Joe" is exclusively in theaters starting October 11th.
