About Chasing Grace:

A tragic accident threatens to destroy a pastor’s family and sets into motion a complex betrayal between two brothers, while exposing secrets no one wants to face.

Pastor Jonathan Matheson lives in a world of black and white, yet finds a way to navigate the “grey in-between” to work to his advantage, while facing one of the most tragic moments of his life. Set in small-town America and woven inside a tale of redemption, “Chasing Grace” is a story of how one family takes on the burden of guilt in order to make sense of their loss. While pointing the finger of blame at his brother, Pastor Jonathan also chooses to hide from the truth while trying to escape his own personal demons. “Chasing Grace” is loosely based upon true events and provides a powerful story about the redeeming power of forgiveness.

My thoughts:

This is a powerful movie about a family who is grief stricken after the accidental death of their daughter Grace, during her birthday party.  In this film we get to see how each family member deals with their feelings of guilt. Pastor Jonathan disowns his brother Carter, blaming him for Grace's death. At first I believed the father was just angry about his brother being a careless drunk, but the viewer is in for a big surprise as they realize there is much more to the story. The younger son David, blames himself for chasing Grace right before the accident. The oldest son Christopher, starts acting out after discovering that his father has a secret. Angela, the mom suspects something is not right and insists on the family getting counseling. 

Overall, the messages I took from this movie is that Pastor's are not perfect and can also struggle with vices and wanting vengeance just like anyone who is in pain. We tend to 

think our sins won't be found out but they do catch up to us in the long run. Lastly, tragedies can make a family stronger or it can tear families apart. The title "Chasing Grace" serves to remind us that we all need to chase grace, because God's grace is what gives us a blessing that we really don't deserve.
