Indivisible 

One Marriage… One Family… Under God… Indivisible

When I was growing up I heard war stories from both of my grandpa’s. Both veterans of WWII. One proudly served his country as a member of the Navy and the other as a member of the Army.

Grandpa H was always more willing to tell his stories. I think it was how they processed the whole thing and how they learned to deal with all they experienced.

These stories felt like such a rich part of my family history and I loved hearing them. A part of who I came from. These stories were personal and as close to the scene of a war as I had become.

I love both my grandpas very much and was proud of them for leaving their families. They left behind the safety of their homeland to fight for the freedom and safety of the world.

One thing I never got to ask them was if at any time they were scared. I am sure they must have been, but it probably never occurred to me because they both always seemed so brave.

The Movie Indivisible

This past month I had the opportunity to preview the extraordinary movie Indivisible.

Indivisible releases in theaters nationwide this Friday, October 26.

Join me for this sneak peek into Indivisible.

With both of my grandpa’s being veterans, I was immediately drawn in. Anytime, you can get a glimpse into the life of another gives you the opportunity to grow in your compassion for their struggles and joys in life.

This real-life story of Army Chaplain Darren Turner and his wife Heather was such a beautiful story of the real struggles and restoration that God can deliver through them.

I appreciated the view from the other side

I have seen war movies before, but what I really enjoyed about this movie was that it took compassion and human dignity to a whole new level. Because I was instantly drawn to these people, I was rooting for them the whole movie.

I was hoping that the distance and hardship of war wouldn’t change them. Having never been in a war or actually been in this situation, my compassion has always come from the outside.

Indivisible brought me in. I couldn’t just be a spectator, I had great hopes and expectations for this family. This movie brought me into their lives and their family. It showed me the deep struggles with marriage and faith our brave soldiers and their families actually face.

It makes me wish my grandpas were here, so I could not just hear of their bravery but how they have lived each day with everything they have had to witness. I want to know how those struggles changed and shaped them and how God used it to make them the men they had become.

Right away these characters hooked that special place in my heart. (Just a side note, I was bawling after 30 seconds into this movie). Not just the main characters, but all the brave men and women and their families, I wanted them to win. I wanted everything to work out for them in the best possible scenario.

We want life to be just that way.

But we know war is not like that.  The harsh reality is sometimes things seem unbearable. Families are divided by war with their lives rattled and their faith rocked.

Indivisible is a Must See Movie 

Indivisible is a must-see movie. This movie tore at my heartstrings from the get-go. I was invited into this very intimate time with this family. I was able to share in lives that I have gained even more compassion for.

It an opportunity for all people to see an inside view of most of us take for granted. The rights and freedoms that we have didn’t come free, they come at a cost. For some, the cost is so great and even at times unimaginable.

Why I wholeheartedly recommend this movie? We get the unique and privileged experience to be immersed in the lives of others. Not just anyone, but soldiers and their families. Magnificent men and women that risk it all to allow us great freedoms.

That is something that can’t be given away easily or taken for granted.
