"Pastor Brown" was an extremely thoughtful film based on the "prodigal son" archetype. In this case, the prodigal son is the prodigal daughter, Jessica Brown, the daughter of the pastor at Mount Olive church in Atlanta.
Jessica's past was checkered, as she became a go-go girl and essentially walked out on her family, leaving behind her son to be raised by her sister Tanya. After Pastor Brown suffers a heart attack, Jessica returns to Atlanta where she is surprised that her dying father wants her to carry on his legacy as the new pastor of Mount Olive.
Jessica is now in a head-to-head competition with the current associate pastor, Avery Callaghan. While the rivalry of the two characters was well developed in the film, the main focus was on the healing process that occurs with Jessica and her sister Tanya and her son Tariq.
There was a poise and confidence in Jessica's character that allowed her to lovingly renew her family ties and make amends for the past. The performances were all first-rate in this well conceived drama. Pastor Brown liked to use the metaphor of "finding one's shoes" in life. He recognized the potential in Jessica to discover her true identity through self-forgiveness. It was an uplifting and heartfelt message.
