[Music]

[Music]
why does God let bad things happen to
good people
why is God silent
you really think that God
the creator of Heaven and Earth and
everything in it
is silent
I really think he's just
ignoring all of us down here
maybe he's talking
Jonathan
and you're just not listening
I wonder what you'd say if you saw the
things I've seen
foreign
and my best memories of him were on that
Lake doing what we loved yeah
you know I remember one time we we went
deep sea fishing
and I put a bass line in looking for sea
bass all of a sudden my line just took
off of something big
I finally pulled him up to the top and
it was huge and the three of us pulled
that thing up over the side and got it
on the deck of the boat
it was a hundred and five pounds it was
five foot long five foot
so what do you think for your next
birthday if we take you deep sea fishing
for real for real wow
that's pretty cool
I can't think of a better way to
celebrate your next birthday than to
take you deep sea fishing
I didn't realize it then
but that was my last good memory of my
dad

I couldn't understand why they weren't
angry
I looked into the eyes of that family
all I saw was sadness
pure sadness no anger no resentment
they just missed their kid
[Music]
they should be angry at the drunk who
killed them
they should hate him
but they couldn't
they were calm and peaceful and not even
infuriated me
here's the stroke who just took the life
of their loved one over some stupid
bottle of liquor
and they just forgave
just like that
if there's one thing I know
is that we're all going to end up dead
with no Hope anyway
in this life
what difference does it make and who
cares
I don't understand
where was Jesus when that guy swerved
through three lanes and killed Daniel
Jonathan Jesus didn't kill Daniel
why don't you blame Satan
come on see oh so it's okay to blame
Jesus for everything but not Satan
not the one that the Bible tells us
comes to to steal kill and destroy he
gets no credit
that family
had peace
because they know Jesus
because they know there's more
to this life
because this life
is not perfect
it's broken
we broke it sin broke it

I'm about to find out if I lost my job
I screwed up
really really screwed up
I could really use a prayer right now
I told you before there are consequences
to your actions

won't make them go away
but God promises to be there to help you
through those consequences I'm not
asking for a miracle
I know there are consequences but I also
believe that God does answer prayers
please could you just
if you say a prayer with me
of course
God please help me keep my job
you know being an officer in this county
is a privilege
oh do you we demand all of our officers
be Beyond reproach all of them

I'm sorry I believe I was still speaking
as for the charge
officer behaving in a scandalous
Infamous manner in violation of West
Virginia code for that you're guilty
dismissal without pension without
severance nothing
that's the verdict
the job is all I know sir
it's my passion
it's what I'm good at
it's the only thing I'm good at
I didn't come here to make excuses
but we both know that this line of work
gets inside your head
and between the things I've seen on the
job and
losing my son I've been a wrecked I've
been avoiding my problems
and this this job is
being here it's the only thing that
makes me feel like I'm making a
difference
I know I need to be held accountable for
my actions and I I don't deserve this
job I don't deserve my family
but I want you to know that I'm working
on it I'm going to be a better man look
Jonathan I know you okay
I know this isn't like you
look at me

badge on you

second chance

[Music]
you weren't my best friend
you were the one
the one I wanted to spend forever with
that I loved unconditionally that I went
there and I took these vows
[Music]
not mean anything
[Music]
what happened to my husband when I lost
my baby
where were you
[Music]
you were getting drunk
you were disappearing you were working
night shifts and everything else and
this is what you were doing
[Music]
when I laid there every night aching in
pain
needing you here
needing my husband to come home to me
to tell me that he loves me
and you're out sleeping with some other
woman do you even know what you've done
do you know what you're doing to me
[Music]
are not the man that I married
and I want him back
[Music]
you broke us you broke me fish what
happened
[Music]
no because you're not sorry
no I don't know
oh God
[Music]
Stacy you should know that
the day that Jonathan came to see me he
he told me all about the demons
he was fighting
he told me about the infidelity
he also told me that you are the love
of his life
he didn't feel like he deserved you
this is one of the most difficult things
that could ever happen
in a marriage
Jonathan
it took you years
to break this marriage it's going to
take you a long time
to repair it
you're going to have to ask yourself the
hardest questions
do you want to fix this
do you want to move forward to forgiving
you're going to have to look deep
within your heart and you're going to
have to decide is this family
Worth Fighting For
it's going to be a long journey
but if you turn toward God
I think you have a chance
[Music]
there are consequences
to your actions and Jesus will not
change that
but Jesus will change you
you know you want to be a man about this
you want to make things right
you want to fix it
first you have to surrender yourself to
Jesus
that's the first step
[Music]
thank you
I've been a slave to you for way too
long
I am sick and tired of you controlling
me God
God please
give me the strength to break free from
these chains
foreign
[Music]
I hate myself
[Music]
I hate what I've done
Stacy to my family
to honor
and the weight of all this is
overwhelming and I'm having a lot of
trouble dealing with it
Jonathan
[Music]
that burden
is not for you to carry
that weight on your shoulders is for
Jesus to carry
you have to give it to him or it'll
Crush you
I just want my wife to Love Me Again
[Music]
it's going to take time
I could do that for you don't touch me
stay away from me
[Music]
it's not going to be easy
[Music]
through
you have to believe there's hope
she believed for years that you would
turn around
now it's your turn to believe in her
Jesus
help me become the man my family needs
me to be
forgive me for what I've done
help heal our wounds
