This is a powerful, intense Christian film about the reality of PTSD for so many returning veterans. Featuring War Room‘s T.C. Stallings, The Cosby Show‘s Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Joey Lawrence, this is an important film that I’m excited for everyone to experience.

Synopsis:
My Brother’s Keeper shares the story of returning war veteran SFC Travis Fox (TC Stallings) who has one more battle to fight – PTSD. Fox and his best friend SFC Ron “Preach” Pearcy (Joey Lawrence) are in their 6th combat deployment when Preach and his entire Ranger platoon are killed in a deadly improvised explosive device attack. Travis returns to his hometown to settle the affairs of his parents who had passed away years before.
In searching for answers about his parents, he also discovers a new obstacle in PTSD. He finds support from church counselor, Tiffany Robertson (Keshia Knight-Pulliam) and slowly begins to rediscover his faith in God, until he discovers a secret. Travis uncovers a secret hidden by his best friend Donnie Berry (Robert Ri’chard) that threatens his new-found faith, restores his guilt, and causes him to consider the unthinkable.
MY BROTHER’S KEEPER will be releasing in theaters on Friday, March 19th

I’ve personally dealt with overcoming PTSD from trauma, and anxiety. Much like the movie it took me laying down everything at Jesus feet (including my hurt, grief, questions, fear, and anger). Unlike the movie I didn’t have support — it was hard healing, because nobody understood what I was going through, or could relate – I felt alone. I became suicidal, and hopeless. When I came to the end of myself (realizing I couldn’t overcome it myself), I surrendered everything to Jesus, the Holy Spirit started changing my heart over night. Jesus also became my best friend, teacher, healer, and deliverer.
I loved this movie, and highly recommend it. Although my PTSD didn’t come from war, I related to it on so many levels! I think this movie is a great resource to help others understand PTSD, and how they can provide hope to others who are struggling. I found that many people in the church didn’t understand it, denied that it could exist, and were not a support for me. It’s refreshing to know that something like this is a resource for churches to use.
