Background
In 1984, Arthur Millard was a farmer in Greenville, Texas, who was extremely abusive to his wife and their young son Bart. He often yelled at his wife, beat his son, and cut down his dreams, and it is mentioned years later that when Bart was 10, Arthur beat him so bad that he had to sleep on his stomach. In the summer of that year, after Bart returned from camp where he met his future wife Shannon, he was sent home to discover his mother left and moved, leaving Bart to be raised by his abusive father who attacked him after he came home.

By 1991, Bart, who was now in high school, was forced to join glee club after being injured at football, much to his father's dissapointment. Bart proved to be an excellent singer, and was chosen as the lead in his high school production of "Oklahoma!", which his grandmother and Shannon attended but not Arthur, who in the time passed out while out at a restaurant. Arthur was diagnosed with terminal cancer but did not tell his family. Later on, Bart was going to church to speak the message and invited his dad who declined. After an argument, Arthur smashed a plate at his son's head, and Bart left home, breaking up with Shannon and going to Oklahoma City where he and four others started a band called Mercy Me, named after a saying said by Arthur's mother.
