Shattered

Welcome to the exciting world of the high-energy, progressive Christian rock band Olive Branch. They have it all""money, success, awards, an incredible fan base, and a good church that keeps them grounded and focused on God. They are a light to their community and to the world, and they keep getting more popular with every tour. There's just one problem""the more they try to spread their faith, the more their faith is tested. As a group, they can pass any test, but when they are divided, they fail miserably.

Tonight we meet Tim Branch, cofounder and lead singer of the band, as he sits alone in a plush hotel room, surrounded by the results of their biggest failure. His partner, John E Olive, is at the hospital being treated for multiple lacerations and an apparent drug overdose. The crew and their families are asleep and blissfully unaware of the situation.

Where did it all go wrong? Did it start when a young Tim ran away to become a rock and roll star? Was it when John E decided that the "good Christian boy" routine had run its course in his life? Was it when they both decided that the local church was no longer necessary?

Follow Tim as he bounces between the present and the past, trying to make sense of it all. Go inside his head as he pieces the events of his life together and strives to figure out how everyone else plays into the current situation.

Will he find the answers he is seeking, or will the search just reveal more questions?

Find out as you dig into the truth of this scripture:

Your favor, OH LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered. (Psalm 30:7, NLT)
