counselors on campus and if you would like to speak with one you will need to go by the school office and sign up the counselors were there because of the tragic death of the student it was coming up on the one-year anniversary of Chase taking his own life no one saw it coming and it left a deep scar on the entire community especially the students II your 10 o'clock appointments here you can send them in [Music] come on that's him over there coach Miller I know dad it's a great guy you're safe he was on the committee that brought me here to New Hope daddy told me like a hundred times that's

[Music] um I really appreciate what you're doing online actually you're doing us a favor as well a loss of Chase last year left a hole in our lineup that we haven't been able to feel we really need another post player especially with the playoff stuff so I have the team in handling about what you would expect Lucas is the one I'm most concerned about I've been working with kids for years but this is the first time I've ever had to deal with something like this one if there's something we could do to help I mean the church and all yeah yeah sounds like a great idea hey I bring you back to them hey everybody in everybody in guys this is michael evans he's new here in town and now why this team all right let's get down to business playoffs start next week and i'm not happy with the amount of turnovers we've been having in the last few games we want to win this thing that has to stop because you always say that cream mark my words play like that in the playoffs and it'll be a short trip all right let's get now four-on-four half-court offense drills give me green Hampton Wallace Spence it gets Richardson Vincent Harris and Evan's Evan's played a post against Green okay here

especially look no offense coach but I just I really don't think this is gonna work out whoa hold on a sec this team needs you needs me I think my dad has misled you about my basketball skills Mike don't take this the wrong way when your dad came to me about you joining the team it wasn't your basketball skills that interested me these guys need a positive role model someone their own age and that's the biggest problem with being a preacher's kid Hey I'm gonna go check on Luke it holds us to a different standard like we have all the answers truth is I have my struggles just like all the rest besides I don't even know these guys they're not gonna listen to me even if I could help I guess I shouldn't ask how your first day of school went today huh honey I know this isn't easy mom please don't give me the God's plain speech please would you go and get ready for a separate please I'm not doing my homework yeah I know but a short break will be okay typical it's good you see me tomorrow I remember when we moved last time and how much you hated Lakewood at first and then after a while you said it was the greatest place on earth give this place a chance um there's a big difference between the mounds of liquid and the swamps of New Hope I know this place is different but you might be surprised by it well it's not the scenery and it's not even the people mom it's my senior year instead of being able to enjoy it I'm having to learn to fit in wow what a day you know I'm really starting to love it here what's up with him Hey wonder how you ever talked me into that I can honestly say I have never been more scared rock climbing was never on my bucket list you didn't act scared yeah well I'm pretty good at hiding it when I want to like now Mike you know life is full of unexpected twists and turns we have a choice we either face life's issues and we turn from I just don't fit in here I didn't fit in on that rock remember hanging on the side of that cliff thinking what in the world am i doing up here but after we were finished and I survived it's one of the greatest memories I have this is different that really yeah maybe but I think after all is said and done you might find this might be the best experience of your life all right I'm gonna go check on supper have your mom's cooking sure smells good hey Mike have faith in you morning you're up early yeah I'm going exploring exploring where I'm 18 now I can handle it but I saw some woods down the road looks like a pretty good place to explore maybe think a few good pictures you're the ones that give this place a chance okay you have your cell phone with you and do the words no trespassing mean anything to you I love you kiss please be home by 5:00 I've always loved the outdoors I could spend my entire life hiking and exploring if only I could find a way to make a living doing it [Music] are you okay who are you what are you doing here this is private property I was just um I'll leave good idea hey wait are you the new kid yeah I'm Michael you're that preacher's kid oh man okay I'm leaving don't tell anyone about this okay Tom what you saw me like this secret's safe with me so I'm Jasmine Michael so I'm guessing you own this land yeah well my parents do I just come out here to think sometimes you can see why you're lucky boyfriend former what happened he died [Music] chase was your boyfriend oh hey I'm real sorry no it's okay I should go see you at school [Music] you [Music] [Music] Jasmine hey that's her hey I'll catch up with you guys later okay Hey hey so what's up oh yeah right I wanted to show you these photos I took these back at your place and I don't know I thought you might want to have them wait you took these yeah but I mean you can keep them I mean they're yours anyways right Thanks Hey do you think that you could teach me to take pictures like these yeah sure of course yeah all right well meet me out there later okay okay oh hey it asked me after basketball practice today okay yeah we didn't know it was coming I don't know what we could have done differently I'm his mother I should have seen something I should have noticed I should have been watching I should have recognized I should this is annoying day for her crying guilt despair blaming herself heck blaming me how long does this have to go on there's really no timetable for grieving process is different for all of us it seems you're great and time is over you think this is easy on me you sure seem to be handling it okay I'm handling it in my way if I might this might seem strange but what you're experiencing it's normal I care about my son and I want him back don't forget we have another son and he needs his parents Howie life goes on it's been a year what we just forget about chase then what'd you say I never said that I just can't grieve forever I can't I can't not and keep my sanity both of you have every right to feel the way you do I think it'd be helpful if you incorporated some constructive things in your lives like what well continuing this open dialogue sharing your feelings especially with each other I also think would be helpful if you around other people have gone through a similar experience maybe a part of a support group you're both hurting it may look different but it's hurting just the same [Music] how long before our old lives return [Music] honestly John now but there is a piece to be found at the party and like I'm ready to leave people are leaving things winding down so I'm trying to find an exit but I go upstairs and this girl's phoned me I actually go in the bedroom she's knocking on the door I'm not letting her in there's not an exit I thought you quit man I never said that well you should have liked me all right I don't want any trouble well you're fixing to get it but if you think you're gonna come in here and replace chase you've lost your freaking mind I'm not trying to replace an okay I'm just just just what huh huh you gonna save us all Green Evans what's going on nothing coach we're just talking basketball you know it's a physical game right okay listen to all of you listen to we don't have time for all of this we play Highland tomorrow night and if we don't get focus the playoffs are gonna be over quick coach we can beat Highland even if the angel here is playing enough we have work to do everybody take the court hey kid hang tough [Music] [Music] okay everybody in everybody in let me have your attention being a part of this team is more than just basketball practice and workouts it's about having character and getting your grades I just got word Wallace your academically ineligible against Holland head to the locker room hey get your grades up you may be to get you back into steam all right guys we're one man down I got faith in you guys we could pull together we're a team all right scouting reports acid holliness stop on the pulse so that'll be our focus that's where our points are gonna come from okay you know the joke between boys play hard no bounds all right [Music] nice nice very nice okay turn round off it's go deep [Music] left the white green good job Mike good job turn around [Music] what [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm not scared you yourself answer you bet if you ingest but since their way you can't tell me who to hang out with would you say by saying get you out some identity let's run a few tests everybody on the line green that way heavens that work on my whistle [Music] I was beginning to wonder yeah I practiced spring a little longer than expected so did you bring your camera yeah oh I had a feeling I was forgetting something I can bring it another day um it's just as well not in the mood [Music] you can ask you a question how'd you get your name jasmine yeah my dad it's his favorite flower before long this whole place is gonna be in bloom with them just grows wild kind of like me I guess I like to see that the flowers I mean not you [Music] is it okay if I ask about him how long have you been dating [Music] we were in item since grade school I [Music] really can't remember a time when we weren't together he was my hero what happened [Music] I've asked myself that a million times he just started shutting me out I should have done something blaming yourself won't change what happened there was a kid back in my junior high they committed suicide you know I kept you know ask myself what I could have done differently you know maybe just talked to more just be his friend I don't know you know I'd lots of guilt but then I finally realized that hey you know it's not my fault what changed I mean it was God God now you sound like a preacher at his funeral besides I've tried all that God stuff until I found out how flawed it was it's not Christianity that's flawed it's Christians [Music] I mean we all have struggles but God hasn't given up on you [Music] where do you get all this stuff all my peaches kid what do you expect well now God would want anything to do with some troubled high school kid no no might be surprised it's funny what we believe about ourselves in God regardless of how many times we hear about God loving us it just doesn't really sink in [Music] okay guys all your hard work is left to this moment this game this is your moment this is your gym this is your game and let's show them how we do it in our house Tigers on three one two three types [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

him or hate him you have to admit that Lukas could play basketball I guess it's really all he has in life it's where he's fulfilled where you can let it all out but on this night too much of his emotion was pouring out maybe was the death of Chase maybe was just Lucas being Lucas Green what are you doing you're gonna get kicked out his game I didn't touch together wrestling idiot yeah you

winner [Music] [Applause] [Music] sweetheart why don't you go ahead and get ready for bed and I'll be in there in just a minute one day you'll realize the contributions I can make to the parenting discussions hey I think we need to talk I'm having a really hard time watching our son being embarrassed on the basketball court in front of everyone and please don't give me that building character sermon again so quitting the team is not building character either Liv this is not as bad as you think try telling that to an 18 year old who's trying to fit in I hear what you're saying I just know this is gonna get better trust me this isn't a matter of trust this is about the damage that's being done to our son's confidence mom [Music] honey I'll be right there okay I think you need to think this through okay hey Mike great game tonight seriously great game I almost cost us the playoffs I don't know if I'd say that you scored four points get some big minutes be real dad it was horrible I was horrible how am I supposed to face those guys I know it's hard to believe but you're gonna look back on this so differently you keep saying that dad I remember when I was your age trying to figure out why this thing happened or that thing happened it's frustrating but I also remember somebody shared with me something about how God works in our life they said it's a lot like driving a car at night you know you only get enough light for the road right in front of you but it's enough light to keep you safe and hopefully keep you out of a ditch and what the headlights have to do with basketball I don't know what the Lord's trying to teach you right now but I do know that he is and I also know that if you will trust him he is gonna guide you through this even if it seems like you're lost in the dark well we can both agree that I'm in the dark like you've got to remember that it's Satan whispering those lies in your head you lose all perspective for instance what if you had fouled that guy at the end of the game he goes on who makes two free-throws you guys lose the other hand the way you played it you loud Lukas to make a play it's a team game so I say we celebrate one of your dad's award-winning malts punch get the blender out of cabin boy [Music] I think it was then that I really appreciated my dad for who he was thanks dad okay I'm a preacher it's God stuffs all I know where's your mom keep those scoops hey mom's going back out to those woods I'll be back soon that's fine just be home by 6:00 we're having company for dinner I tried to skip this one you know

be there with all these old people and be bored that's fine just don't be late okay love you love you [Music] figures hey where you going what are you doing what does it look like I'm doing and whose

that give me more fierce if you can okay okay give me sassy and how much you can give me one I like it okay come on really [Music] if you think you can handle it I can handle it all right be careful Colorado [Music] yeah of course if you get in the bind I can help [Music] where to miss to the great beyond [Music] where did you come could be I found gee [Music] do you believe [Music] it's just my we know somebody [Music] if you could be any animal in the world what would you be you know an animals like would you be a horse or a lion maybe a cheetah I don't know what about you easy an eagle a

into the dining room and get ready for dinner faith honey wouldn't you be more comfortable over here no I think this is a good spot sweetheart why don't you come sit by me well uh this sure smells good Lucas you're really gonna enjoy Olivia's roast oh wait just about anything isn't that right honey Luke did you hear your mother what's wrong with you people [Music] did you think I was just gonna walk in here hold hands and have a priority pastor was at the plant leucas sit down or what dad you gonna send me my room you're upsetting your mother everyone here at the day I freaking care these people invite me in sit me across the table from that joke you look at me what are you thinking really jazz what are any of you thinking these bunch of holier-than-thou Jesus freaks think they have all the answers Lucas green that's it no no dad it's not enough chase was enough [Music] Lucas no I'll walk Oh Lucas come back here salad let him go I'm sorry he's a meaner look I'm sorry hey I mean it's just Lucas blowing off steam and get used to it I might take you know the funny thing is chase was nothing I think that's one reason Lucas's life is so out of balance you know Chase is always the cool kind of like you escheat as a cooling hey before you take me home you know a great place to go cool yeah you'll just have to trust me turn here here I thought you're gonna take me out to get a moth or something remember when you asked me to trust you [Music] now it's your turn funny thing about trust it's hard to earn and easy to lose just park right here what's this it's a party silly I can see that but it's just some kids from school they do this every weekend this isn't a good idea my dad your dad what he wouldn't mind you hanging out with all these sinners that's not what I'm saying hey I found them a lot more comfortable with these people than most of those hypocrites at church besides don't be [Music] [Music] just trust me no thanks lighten up everybody's doing it I don't feel too [Music] what do you think you're doing here my shell is just leaving that's a good idea guess what you let him go cool the guy's a joke you get that [Music] yeah [Music] well I've never seen you up and dressed this early on a Sunday morning yeah I told Jasmine I'd pick up on my way hey you got a sec sure how do you feel about last night what do you mean well your mom and I didn't mean to create such an uncomfortable situation yeah Paul not complaining on our part yeah it wasn't our intent just that I've been spending a lot of time counseling with the greens and as you probably know they've been having a lot of problems with Lucas yeah sudden me both oh wow where did you get that Lucas bumped into him last night looks like more than a bump yeah so you can forget about meeting him be in France actually I think you can be a really positive influence in his life he won't even talk to me at least in a civilized tone I think you need to reach out to him he's worth the effort dad he hates me don't you see that and to be honest the feeling's mutual well have you done anything to make him hate you breathe well all the better reason like he lost his brother there's a lot of pain there see but that's another thing dad he doesn't want me seeing Jasmine because she was chases girlfriend he doesn't want to move on and he wants no-one else to move on hell I wouldn't want to move on and now you're defending him no I'm not defending him just trying to understand him [Music] for him moving on means leaving shakes behind he needs somebody to guide him through this transition Mike Jesus was pretty clear about loving people I'm loving the ones that love us that's easy anybody can do that it's loving the ones that hate us well that's the real challenge it's just great [Music] I take that to mean you're up for the challenge I don't want to be late I'll see you guys after service Oh more day right yep yeah perfect so did he put you up to this up to what what do you want I wanted to apologize for the other night they didn't know they didn't know what huh that inviting me over to dinner with a guy that I hate and then throwing my brother's girlfriend the mix was a bad idea that sounds like a setup to me honest Lucas it wasn't I mean that was the first time he introduced me to his parents safer son who cares look can we just talk what do you want from me jazz do you ever think about him every day where did we go wrong wrong we weren't there for him do you think we could have changed it what are you asking I don't know I just I know something was wrong I could have done something we all could have done something you know that's the hard part right I don't know I don't know anything anymore well let me get it straight for you okay as far as I'm concerned what happened was an accident it was a tragic accident I want to hear you say anything different do you understand yeah I understand I gotta go Lucas we have to move on move on move on to what what do you want me to do I have to move on I don't know if you realize this but it's killing me all the what-ifs please Lucas just don't let this destroy you I mean we've been through enough already I'll live my life the way I choose he's not coming back [Music] ever [Music] there's something else I've got to stop blaming this on Michael I wonder how long that would say he's a really nice guy if you just get to know him I don't want to get to know him do you get that and you what are you doing no really I bet chase would be so proud after me want to out of here [Music] [Music] hey Luke I'll be right with you man awesome playoff run man one more you got this thing yeah we just received our shipment of baseball equipment in last week I still have some cool stuff coming in too you move in a wood this year you know we have a sweet little hybrid coming in and our next shipment with your upper body strength let's like this one actually I'm going to take all those ok [Music] every day I can still see your face in the pictures of life you gave [Music] you reflect in the lie [Music] you shine so bright [Music] every day I can still see our faces in the pictures that we made we reflect in the line we shine so bright that day you left me I should have noticed I should have listened to what you had to say I can't remember you sound is fading I can still see your face but I can't hear your voice anymore [Music] I wanna hear you [Music] [Applause] [Music] here I could still see you I can still see your face but I can't hear your voice [Music] honestly it was definitely a shock to see her but it was good it was nice to see her again well please know we had no idea master one thing you learn about this small town is everybody knows everybody and that actually might be something that's gonna help you to the most how so well one of the things we're learning about this town it's how much you care for each other I guess it's what you call southern hospitality I have felt loved even though it's very difficult here well over time that's really gonna help why did God take our son from us is that really what you're thinking honestly yeah I've tried to tell her that's just not true Sally I could give you a lot of scripture even cliches the honest truth is God loves us well excuse me I'm not feeling the love it's understandable ultimately God's purpose in all of our lives is that we're learning to trust him more I understand your feelings towards God but better than that he understands them and I believe it's okay for you to tell him exactly how you feel even if it's hurt even if it's hate anger don't you think he already knows I often wonder how someone with no relationship with God at all could get through such a difficult thing Sally trust him he will guide you through this there's another issue that weighing on us heavily it's Lucas he's just he's so full of anger how was he changed since Jace's death tonight mainly rejecting our authority in his life become distant argumentative after you saw him the other night at dinner about the only thing that he has any interest in this basketball that actually might be the best thing for him right now and you know it also gives you to a powerful tool to encourage you in what way well God's Word tells us that we're fearfully and wonderfully made and even when we're our most unlovable that's still true well when you and I see each other from that perspective it changes the way we treat each other and don't underestimate the power of the spoken word encourage him build him up complement him any chance you get you know that old nursery rhyme sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me I couldn't be further from the truth it's the enemy that tells us we have no value and that were flawed Lucas needs to know he has value true value in your eyes and gods he already has a big ego sure there's a balance there but I think he'd be shocked at how he really sees himself I think he knows that we love it he probably does but sometimes this might sound strange sometimes that's not enough make sure you put your love into action can I ask you a hard question would you die for Lucas of course let me ask you to do something even more difficult [Music] therefore lay your life down for him daily let him see your love for him in action every day [Music] it's actually the more difficult choice isn't yes and it's okay for him to see you struggle even fail our kids do not expect us to be perfect they've just got to be secure in the knowledge that we are battling with them and for them [Music] that's it mom watch them out swing it matter better hey everybody in I like what I saw today good hustle and good teamwork we got Brandon back we've won three tough games without them but Rock more it's much bigger and more physical team look guys this is it the championship game what we worked for all year long it's gonna be a challenge but it's one we're up to right right okay let's get it in Tigers on three one two three types all right good job today guys across our table good job Wallace hey Lucas can I talk to you a minute hey you know we got off on the wrong

what's not yours be a part of something you didn't help build and you have the nerve to tell me you know what I'm going through and you're just like every other bible-thumper I've ever met you think you got all the answers huh well you can take him back he came from [Music] so then Lucas grabs the sky and he yells don't you ever mess with my brother again it was a good big brother huh yeah yeah he's the best I think that's what's been hardest on him you know he carries a lot of guilt so I'm taking his brother's place in the basketball team and his brother's girlfriend definitely give them plenty of reason to hate me he'll come around just give it some time you might not believe it but Lucas is not a bad person I'd hate to see your definition of a bad person so you excited about the big
