Another Sunday, another sermon. Every single week.

Small-town pastor Bob Jordan wonders if his congregation even cares anymore. They seem uninspired and lethargic, and Bob knows exactly how they feel.

A different kind of encounter with Jesus Christ unexpectedly thrusts Bob into a new mission-one that pushes him past his little town and little church and into the pressure of the world at large.

The audiences become bigger, the platforms wider, and the exposure brighter as Bob tries to remain true to who he is while yearning to become who Christ has called him to be. But will it cost him the people he loves the most?

And he can't shake the thought that the thorns in his own soil might be holding him back.

Thorns is a story about calling, the power of God's Word, and following Him, even when our faith seems stuck.
