Word of God

“What do you do when your life does a 180?”

Producer’s synopsis: “What happens when your life takes a hard flip? Teenager Caleb Jones goes skateboarding. With no father in his life to guide him, and his mother, Beth, working two jobs to make ends meet, Caleb believes nothing matters in life but becoming a sponsored skater to get him away from all his troubles. When his mother falls ill, Caleb is forced to deal with her illness and his lack of responsibility. Now on his own, he sets out to find the father he never knew, when he stumbles upon some old love letters.

Out of hurt and anger, Caleb reluctantly contacts his father Jack, who happened to live the next town over from him his entire life. Caleb’s only real friend, a crazy, homeless, street preacher named Ralph, speaks nuggets of Truth through God’s Word, guiding Caleb along his journey. Through the tragedy of his mother’s illness and the sudden appearance of the father he never knew, Caleb becomes the man his mother always prayed he’d be.

Caleb is a story of what can happen when we let go of our anger and pain and willingness to forgive those who’ve hurt us most, just as God forgives us.”
