This movie addresses issues to do with the commercialisation of outreach ministries in churches today, the conflict between being a popstar in the secular music industry and a worship leader in the Christian church, as well as politics that may arise among church leaders in the management of the church. The overarching theme is parallel to the parable of the prodigal son. The son of a pastor returns to church after attaining fame in the secular music industry, and reconciles with his father and God. Using his singing talents and fame, he then helps in the revival of the church. Wonderful music and stellar cast (featuring the singing talents of Yolanda Adams and American Idol finalist, Tamyra Gray). Captures the essence and vibrance of Black Gospel music, which gets you grooving along.
