Reuben is the son of a fisherman, living in Magdala around the time of Jesus’ Galilean ministry. Not relishing the idea of marrying the girl his parents have chosen for him, he runs away to Jerusalem, where he is mentored by Simeon, who trains him to be a cutpurse. Then Simeon is arrested by the Roman authorities. The next time Reuben sees his friend, he is a condemned man, carrying his cross to the crucifixion site in a pathetic procession headed by Jesus of Nazareth.

Wanting to support his friend and mentor as much as possible, Reuben follows him to Golgotha and by default has a “ringside” experience of the crucifixion of Jesus and hears Him promise Simeon that he will be with Him in paradise. Life will never be the same for Reuben after this experience.

In subsequent days, he encounters Mary of Magdala and John the disciple, who mentor and guide him into a faith in Jesus that is clearly evident in a changed lifestyle, attitude, and relationships.

Inspired by true events, Indivisible is a story of love, service, and finding each other all over again.

Darren and Heather Turner share a passion for serving God, family, and country. When Darren is deployed to Iraq as an army chaplain, Heather vows to serve military families back home as she cares for the couple’s three young children.

Darren knows he’s overseas to support the troops in their suffering as their chaplain. What he doesn’t know is how he will get through his own dark moments. And as communication from Darren dwindles, Heather wonders what is happening in her husband’s heart. Meanwhile, she’s growing weary in the day-to-day life of a military base—each child’s milestone Darren will never see, each month waiting for orders, each late-night knock on the door.

When Darren returns, he is no longer the husband Heather once knew. She is no longer the woman Darren wed. And so it’s at home that the Turners face their biggest battle: to save their marriage.

Based on the screen play by David Evans, Indivisible is a tribute to the beauty of serving our country, the courage of choosing love in the darkness, and the power of a God who never gives up hope.
