The 2006 documentary film ''Jesus Camp'' shows some of Fischer's beliefs and the way she ran her summer camp. She preached to the children into becoming what she claimed to be "soldiers of God", saying that it is the "best moment of their life". She also condemned the ''Harry Potter'' book series saying that if Harry Potter was real he would've been put to death in the Old Testament. Her ministry also looks down upon ghost stories, claiming that they "do not honor the Lord". At the Christ Triumphant Church in Missouri, she had a guest speaker bring in a cardboard cut-out of former U.S. President George W. Bush, and encouraged several attending children to reach their hands out toward it in prayer. Both Fischer and her ministry see Bush as being a "holy man" and that he was "anointed with the job of creating a Christian society, not just in America but all over the world." Also in the documentary, Fischer explained to radio talk show host Mike Papantonio that she does not believe that people are able to decide what their religious beliefs are once they pass childhood, and that it is important that people be "indoctrinated" in Christian beliefs as children. She also told Papantonio that she does not consider what she is doing as brainwashing. | The 2006 documentary film ''Jesus Camp'' shows some of Fischer's beliefs and the way she ran her summer camp.
