He was born in Athens, Ga. as the middle of three sons to Larry and Rhonwyn Kendrick. He grew up in Smyrna, Ga. and graduated from Kennesaw State University with a bachelor’s degree in Communications. Kendrick worked as a Christian DJ for two radio stations before attending New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

In 2002, Kendrick founded Sherwood Pictures, a movie-creating entity that produced “Overcomer,” “War Room,” “Courageous,” “Fireproof,” “Facing the Giants” and “Flywheel.” He is also a New York Times best-selling author. He has co-authored several books with his brother, Stephen, including “The Love Dare,” “The Resolution for Men,” and the “Battle Plan for Prayer.”
