Speaker/Author Wayne Jacobsen shares at a gathering in Visilia, California. Using scripture, he weaves a story of what it looks like to live life enveloped by affection of loving Heavenly Father. Along the way we hear how a self-described atheist gives an incredible definition of what Jesus taught. We are also given examples from the New Testament of what Jesus taught about his Father. Finally, we hear an inspiring story about a lady who, filled with fear, was powerfully shown that God’s love for us is not dependent on our works. Instead, God loves us no matter what and he delights in us in ways that we never dreamed possible.

This story is one which could be used as an evangelism tool. It is about two fathers who make a difference in their son's life. One is not making a good difference; in fact, just the opposite. Since Rick Tarinno's wife and daughter died in a tragic car accident three years ago, he now drinks and sits around the house doing nothing else except smacking his son Lucas around on one occasion. On the other hand, Ray Campbell's father, Mike, lost his wife in a different way when she left him for another man. But Mike is constantly there for his son Ray to make sure he is okay. Ray is more concerned for his father than for himself. Mike continues witnessing to Rick to try to get him to be the father he can be. Rick doesn't want to hear about God but Mike continues to tell him that God is the only one who can fix things. When a tragedy strikes Mike's life, he must live what he has preached. In a Christian analogy, the loss of a life may be the one thing which saves another one. We recommend this movie for ages twelve plus due to some intense scenes. We are pleased to award our Dove Seal to the film.
