With Christ
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, there was no need for him to die.
GALATIANS 2:20
And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?”
1 SAMUEL 17:29
Documentary
The Charge is a documentary film that chronicles the true story of Command Sergeant Major Teresa L. King. The film’s purpose and intent are not to weaponize any actions or events against individuals featured in the story or against the United States military. The film looks to bring awareness on important topics in hopes that the US military can learn from these events, heal, and become a better organization for current and future soldiers. The injustices documented in the film took place at one of our country’s most distinguished institutions, the United States Army Drill Sergeant School. This illustrious school’s mission centers on training those leaders that instruct and groom every recruit that enters the US Army. The injustices done to CSM King struck and compromised the core foundation of the Army.
