This Christian film touches on a basic need to feel we belong. The story is told to his congregation by Reverend John Ratzenberger about what happened at colleague Eric Roberts's church.
Young Patrick Davis, a troubled and irreverent youth is in some mandated group therapy at Reverend Eric Roberts's church. Roberts has also placed Davis in foster care with Peter Freeland and Robyn Lively and their son Garrett Palmer.
Davis has been bounced around to a lot of foster home s and the family is dealing with the death of another son. Somehow Davis and the family complete each other.
Nice story about the need to belong.

Everybody has to feel wanted
In the name of God
I just watched this movie with my family. We enjoyed not only the story line, but the acting was great. Patrick Davis ( Mason) played exceptionally well next to Eric Roberts. Roberts sincere portrayal of a therapist with humanity drove the group to understanding the true meaning of respect. The scene where Patrick (Mason) asks for forgiveness was intense. We were all moved to witness a moment in asking for forgiveness, which is a difficult thing to handle in real life, Mason managed to capture its essence. We are now looking forward to watch other movies with Davis. The actors that played his parents were very inspirational: their strength to overcome their son's death, their faith in their calling, the sense of community, were all played out beautifully by all the actors. Great job everyone!
Good heart, if not great script nor acting
The movie has a "good heart", but the writing was sometimes disjointed, and the acting occasionally stilted. Still a nice bit of good messaging in entertainment.
