I Once Was Lost (2010)

Real, funny, crazy but always true to heart, I Once Was Lost takes on the topic that so many of us deal with in our everyday lives but so few see presented on-screen: dating as a Christian. As a young, single professional living in the big city, Elaine wants the same thing every other young Christian woman wants: someone to share her life and beliefs with. You'd think that wouldn't be so hard, right? Think again. As Elaine navigates her way through the dating world, she soon discovers that trying to find Mr. Right while staying on the right path is easier said than done. From Speedo-wearing religion hoppers to kleptomaniacs to winnable Christian rock stars with delusions of grandeur, Elaine soon realizes that dating in the Christian world is less complicated and far crazier than she ever imagine. But even though all the disastrous dates, Elaine is determined to not compromise her faith for love, and prove that in order to find "The One," you don't have to lose yourself. Originally touted as Sex and the City goes to church, IOWL has become much more than that. Given its strong Christian themes, its humor, and the music, which has become an integral and popular part of the show, IOWL is a hit among women and men alike among broad demographics.
