John Christensen is a pastor of a church in a small town. Over time John has begun to desire the things of this world. His wife Sarah tries to motivate John back to his prior spiritual passion with little success. Through a series of events, John has a revealing of God's desire but discovers that most of his congregation is living worldly lives. John realizes he is partly to blame. John begins to speak from the scripture but is resisted by Bill Johnson, the church board, and the congregation. Despite pressure from the church, and especially Bill Johnson, John perseveres. He risks everything, his friends, family, and church, to bring himself and the church back to God.
