Christian singer Natalie Grant is making her movie debut today in the film 'Persecuted'.

"I chose to be a part of this movie, not because I was trying to grandstand on any particular issue, but honestly, because I thought it would be fun and different and a challenge for me," Grant wrote on her Facebook page, "However, I also decided to do it because I have personally experienced that some who are screaming loudest for tolerance are the ones who are displaying the greatest intolerance. I do not believe you can legislate morality, and I am not a proponent of trying to force my beliefs or view of righteousness on anyone. I'm much more a proponent of living what you believe, instead of shouting it or waving it on a sign."

The highly anticipated film shot to No. 1 on iTunes Movie Trailer and Most Popular lists. After the release of the trailer, the film started being heralded as the 'House of Cards' for Christians.

The film stars James Remar (Dexter), Dean Stockwell, and Raoul Trujillo.

Watch the trailer below:

Grant's admission of knowing the feeling of being persecuted in her Facebook post goes nicely with something she said to BreatheCast at the K-LOVE Fan Awards.

"I have always said that I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For it is the power of salvation unto all who believe. I have had my whole life set on being a truth teller, so my hope is that my music would continue to do that - tell the truth about who Jesus is, love people, love God, love people, but never shy away from the gospel."
