A Father's Heart - short drama

 Thad Murphy is a 31 year old singer/songwriter from North Texas. He is husband to his junior high sweetheart and father to 3 amazing kids. He grew up in a small country town and learned how to play guitar and sing from his father. He has country roots but his musical taste and writing style are now more Christ-centric indie and folk. He was recording his first album in Mooresville NC when he met Benny Vink at a men’s breakfast. Thad was asked to pray about writing a song for an upcoming film. While on the plane ride home that day, he wrote down the initial words of the song “Love Will Find Me.” Over the next month Benny and Thad chiseled away at the song to adapt it for the film. His hope and desire is that this song and film would bear fruit and call the prodigal heart back home. The making of "A Fathers Heart"
