A testimony: I dont know who is going to read this or if anybody is going to read this at all, but I want to say something. Im an 18 year old girl and I grew up listening to Rich Mullins. Ive always loved him, he is one of my favorite musicians. I appreciated his honesty and unkept appearance, I loved how he caused trouble in the christian music industry because he was so honest and unkept. I have always greatly connected with him. So when I heard this movie was coming out, I was naturally really curious about it and hoped it would be good. I just recently watched it and it hit me so hard. I have always known quite a bit about Rich, but I never knew he struggled with the darkness inside him the way that movie showed. I never knew he had problems with drinking, or depression, or any of that. Naturally I didnt think he was a saint....but I never knew he got that low. I have struggled all my life with self hatred and depression. I always loved God....I never blamed him. In fact I hated myself so much because I kept sinning against Him. Though I knew he still loved me...I didnt feel it. Not really. But I kept striving toward Him anyway. And just recently, partially though this film, Jesus showed me that he loved me. He really, truly loves me. It got me that Rich almost never stopped struggling with his darkness, but he never stopped seeking Christ. Just like me. His soul never stopped desiring God. And I have learned that no matter my sin, it doesnt change that my soul is free. And the darkness that has always haunted me can never touch me again. Im happier than Ive ever been. I feel more free than I ever have. I wanted to thank whoever made this movie. I know Rich wouldnt have wanted a movie made about him, but Im happy this was made. God used it to show me so many things. Im a Raggamuffin too. And Im free -Michelle C.
