In 2004, Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady asked Fischer if they can film a documentary film centering around ''Kids on Fire''. In the documentary film, Fischer preached to the children attending her summer camp 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'' franchise saying that if Harry Potter was real he would've been put to death in the Old Testament in an attempt to have the children stay away from the franchise and the occult. 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." Fischer had the children protest abortion in front of the White House with red duct tape on their mouths with the word "Life" written on it. 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 taught Christianity as children and that she does not consider what she is doing as brainwashing but rather "indoctrination".
