- [Board Member] I hate to break it to you Gerald,

but I think we reached the end of our rope.

- What do you mean?

- What I'm trying to say is

I think we're gonna have to let you go.

- You're letting me go?

Why?

- It's-- - Spit it out!

Don't freeze up now.

You brought me all the way out here to fire me?

- Nah, we're firing you

because you haven't fulfilled

what we hired you to do.

We called you in to increase

the men's attendance of the church.

- Is this a joke?

I mean, is this for real?

Are you here to get the men in order with God?

Or are you here for your, oh,

I mean the church's finances.

- Don't try to turn this on us.

- This is about you!

You haven't asked one time

how all the families

in this church are doing.

- Okay, when is your little retreat?

- [Pr. Gerald] The 5th of next month.

- You got until then to prove us wrong.

- [Pr. Gerald] Three weeks?

- That's been added on to the two years

we've already given you.

Expect us to show up at any moment.

You're always talking about "kingdom men", "kingdom men".

Now prove it.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(bouncy contemporary hip hop music)

(contemplative piano music)

- Are you okay?

- Well now I am.

Come here.

(couple kissing)

- Now Pastor, are you getting fresh with me?

- Because I'm a Pastor, I can't enjoy my wife?

(couple laughing)

- Yes, you can, but my sister will be here in a few.

- All I need is a few.

- And (kiss) that's your problem.

- And what are you trying to say?

- If you preach that fast,

there'll be no reason for people to show up.

- [Pr. Gerald] You still show up.

- That's because you're good.

- I know.

(couple laughing)

Hello.

I'm on my way.

- You don't care about Eddie.

Nobody cares.

(Eddie grunts) (railing rings)

I care about, I take care of me!

You don't take care of me!

- Pastor, can I speak to you for a minute?

- Sure. - Cause for some reason,

we all as a community are doing our part

to rebuild the community.

But every time I look around,

I got people around here acting a plum fool.

And you supposed to be making a difference.

Last I checked, you were supposed

to be getting them some help!

- I did!

It's not a magic trick.

- A magic trick?

Pastor Smith, God bless the dead,

he was no magician either.

But I don't recall having these same problems

when he was pastoring the church.

- His fault is not mine!

You can't blame his problems on me!

- Your church member,

who come to you for spiritual guidance

and to your church every Sunday

is around terrorizing the community,

disrupting the properties,

and all you got to say is, "It's not my fault?"

- Look Tom, you ain't serious are you?

- Can't be serious?

All I know is, since he's been pastoring the church,

a lot of men in this community

ain't been getting the help they deserve!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Now, I don't know what problem you have with me,

but don't blame it on the church!

- Pastor, in the end can't nobody judge you,

the church or even Eddie, but God!

However, he's still a reflection

of the fruits of your labor!

Now would you please so kindly

remove him from my property?

- Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie!

Let's not do this right now, Eddie.

- Pastor Gerald, Mr. Hotshot.

- I'm your friend, Eddie.

- Friend?

Friends don't send church members

to random meetings with random strangers

to tell him that he's a drunk!

- You're not a drunk, Eddie.

- He ain't? - Shut up!

- I thought you were supposed to be here to help me?

- Eddie, you're just a man with issues, like me.

- (scoffs) Issues?

Mr. "ride-on-your-high-horse" Pastor,

you know nothing about issues!

You know, people cater to you.

Everyone caters to you!

I didn't like, but paid for.

And they give you all the money!

- Whoa now, Eddie,

you know I don't make no money at that church.

(men grunting)

- Eddie, c'mon now! We family, we can't, we don't do this!

We family, Eddie! - Family?

When was the last time you called to check on me?

Huh?

And you, Pastor.

I done called you way too many times than I should've.

When was the last time you returned one of my phone calls?

(Gerald sighs) (Eddie growls)

- None!

None, Eddie.

And I apologize.

All I'm asking is that you please forgive me

and understand that I have a lot of people in--

- I'm talking about me!

Me right now, Pastor!

Me!

- I'm just trying to do it for my family.

I'm just trying to do it for my family.

- Family.

Well at least you can go home to yours.

Ain't that right?

(Eddie grunts)

- Eddie.

Eddie!

(sombre orchestral music)

(crowd bustling) (upbeat ballroom music)

- Nah, man.

He wants to play pro football like his dad.

- No I don't, I wanna go to culinary school.

- You love football, Mike!

- I didn't say that.

(crowd bustling)

- Let me give you one of our pamphlets, honey.

- These handmade pamphlets- - Yeah.

- are like tissue paper.

- Yeah, just like that dress you got on.

How you doing? Did you enjoy the service?

- Yes, I did. - Are you gonna use these?

'Cause these weren't no handmade now.

These was made.

They cost. - Okay.

- Okay, if you not, give it back.

Okay, thank you.

You be blessed.

(crowd bustling)

- Hey, what's going on, superstar?

- Little busy, you know,

just trying to feed the family.

- I heard that, I see.

I saw that Caddy you pulled up in.

That's nice.

- [Bernard] (laughing) Pretty, ain't she?

- Oh yeah.

- Am thinking about getting a Bentley next.

You know, I saw one in Atlanta.

Hand cut.

Stitched.

Mirror-like black piano finish.

20-way seats.

Innovative 48V electronic active roll control system.

Active all-wheel drive.

Brand new! - All right, Bigtime.

So, um, how do you like daughter's new teacher?

- Ms. Winter?

- Ms. Winter?

No, no, no.

Ms. Winter, she left two years ago.

- (laughs) You know, all the teachers at Sunset Park,

it's hard to remember their names.

- [Pr. Gerald] Sunset Park?

- Yeah.

- Sunset Park?

- Sunset Park, yeah.

- Son, that school closed years ago.

All the kids in the neighborhood go to Snipe School now.

Come on, brother Bernard.

How is it you know about a $200,000 car, six hours away,

but you don't know what school your daughters go to?

- (clears throat) Hello.

Aye yeah, we gonna close they house deal next week.

(contemplative piano music)

(birds chirping)

- Babe.

You look pooped since you left church.

- I'm fine.

I'm just relaxing.

- It's the man at that church, huh?

- Is it that obvious?

- Some of the women may have mentioned a few things,

and plus, the look you had on your face in the lobby,

it said a little bit.

- I feel like I let God down.

I'm the pastor of this church.

- (scoffs) You can't blame men for being men.

- That's not men being men.

Babe, do you know Bernard knows everything

about a $250,000 car, but don't know

what school his daughters go to?

- What? - [Pr. Gerald] Yeah.

He still thinks Ms. Winter is their teacher.

- Look, you can not beat yourself

over the head because of it.

- I feel part responsible.

- Responsible?

Those men know exactly what they're doing!

And all you have to do

is continue to do what you've been doing.

Make sure that this retreat goes off without a hitch.

- I don't know if that's gonna happen.

You gotta have enough people to qualify for it,

and we only got seven.

(wife exclaims)

- Yeah, and I agreed to pay six of their way.

- (laughing sarcastically) No, no, no, no.

I know I didn't hear what I just thought I heard!

You said that you paid for six men

to go act like children?

You know that this church only pays you pennies.

- Baby, I'm sorry.

I should have told you first.

- I suggest that you go down to that church

and ask Sister Shirley if the church has the money

to pay for your little "boy retreat".

(bouncy contemporary music)

(door knocks)

- Come in.

- Hey Sister Shirley.

- Hey Gerald, how can I help you?

- Sister Shirley, I need a favor.

(Shirley exclaiming)

Hold, hold up, hold up, wait a minute.

I need a favor.

God has put something on my heart

for the men in this church.

- [Shirley] Okay.

- And I'm gonna need your help.

- What is it?

A donut fundraiser?

What, a fidget spinner fundraiser?

- No, no, no, no.

Sister Shirley, no, no.

- [Shirley] Oh, okay Pastor.

- The men in this church are falling apart.

I believe that a men's retreat

is a big start

to help them regain

their focus on God in this church.

- Now that's a big stretch, Pastor.

You mean to tell me a man's retreat gone do all that?

I need a retreat fundraiser.

- But there's only one problem.

We need about, um- - [Shirley] Okay, Pastor.

- $920 for the men's retreat (clears throat).

- $920 million?

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

$920.

- That's what I said, $920 million.

Do you know what we can do with that, Pastor?

We can use that for the building fund,

transportation fund,

the afterschool fund.

And guess what?

And the choir shoes fund.

- What? Wait, wait.

Why do we have a choir shoe fund?

- 'Cause, Pastor, we can't keep traveling

and representing the church wearing them Jesus sandals.

We need some new shoes.

We need some Jordans.

Some Air Jordans

with the 23 on the bottom and the strap.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, Sister Shirley, hold up. (laughs)

Seriously, let's pray on this.

- Well, let's pray about it.

- Choir shoe fund, men's retreat.

- Okay.

- Let's pray on this. - Let's pray on it.

Okay, let's pray.

Lord.

Touch Michael Jordan, Lord.

Bless him.

Bless him, Lord.

Let his cup runneth over to the soles

of the feet of this choir, Lord.

Please Lord, do that.

Lord, let the soles of his shoes comfort us.

Lord, like you did with the man that outran the horse.

When he outran the horse,

he had on a pair of Jordans, Lord.

You know.

You know, Lord, 'cause you tell me things.

And guess what, Lord?

You told me when David knocked Goliath out,

it wasn't a stone.

Lord, it wasn't a stone.

It was a pair of Flight 23s.

You know.

Even when Jesus walked on the water,

he had on a pair of what?

What, Pastor?

Even when he walked on the water.

Say it with me 'cause I can't hear you, Pastor.

- Jordans. (clears throat)

- Yeah, come on, Pastor, come on.

It's the shoes.

It's the shoes!

It's the-- - Okay, Sister Shirley, no!

It's not the shoes.

It's not the shoes, okay?

It's not the shoes. - [Shirley] Okay.

- It's not.

Focus. - Okay.

- Not the shoes.

Can we get the money or not?

(upbeat ballroom music)

(car driving past)

- [Pr. Gerald] You all right, David?

- Hey, yeah, I'm all right, Pastor.

What's going on?

- What's with the tire?

- [David] Well, Mrs. Fisher was in there

with the ladies tonight and,

when she came out, she didn't know she had a flat.

So she gave me a call.

- What are you still doing here?

- [David] What do you mean?

- David your business's eight miles away.

Are you tryna tell me that janitor

or security couldn't help her fixed the tire.

Couldn't help Mrs. Fisher..

What about Brother James?

- Look Pastor,

all I know is she gave me a call

then I came to help.

That's all I know.

- David.

- Yeah.

- You are a good man.

- I just thought it was the right thing to do Pastor.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Eddie, this has got to stop.

You can't blame Pastor Gerald.

You can't blame yourself either.

Just because Sasha died,

doesn't mean we have to die with her?

I know it's hard.

It's hard for me too.

But we have to move on.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- What?

- We got the money.

(couples laugh)

- We got it, we got it, we got it.

- We got it.(couples kissing)

Oh, babe, did you know we had a choir and shoe fund?

Really?

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Do me a favor while you gone.

- Now what's that?

- Don't let me hear that you choked one of those guys.

- Now why would I do that?

- I know you better than you think.

Be safe.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(birds chirping)

(dramatic orchestral music) (birds chirping)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(classical piano music)

- Hey, how you doing Craig?

- Hey, what's going on Pastor?

- Good, come on in.

How's the trip. - I mean, it was good, man.

I'm just hungry.

- All right, lunch is right around there.

- This way?

- Yeah, there right around there, yeah.

- What's going on Pastor?

- Hey Mr. David, how are you doing?

- Good, you need some help with something?

- Oh no I'm all right my man.

Go ahead and get lunch around there.

- I appreciate it.

- Lance, how's it going my buddy?

- Hello Pastor, I'm sorry I can stand am starving.

- I see that. - How're you?

You say there is food? - Yes lunch

is around the corner.

Hey Mark ,you can leave your bags in the car.

We're eating first.

Hey little Michael, how's it going?

Good to see you.

- Same here.

- All right, Michael seems like he didn't wanna come.

- He wanted to go to a culinary school.

- Why didn't it go?

- Wanted to give him some guys,

throw the football, you know,

not cool, not soon.

I don't know.

- Okay, cool it's all right.

Lunch is being served and I'll give everybody keys

once we're done.

- Thank you. - All right.

Cool.

(Pastor mumbles)

Oh my fault.

- Its cool

- Good to see you again.

- It's good to be seen.

- All right, I see you got your luggage and everything.

Lunch is gonna be served right around the corner there.

I'll give everybody their keys after lunch.

Now the church saved a little bit of money.

So you can be rooming with Lance.

That's okay aint it?

- Nah, nah, I mean, nah, that's okay.

- I mean, unless you want to be by yourself

because you sleep upside down like a bat.

- That's cool.

- You sure.

- Yeah. - All right.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- We're supposed to eat that

- What's wrong with you?

- No, I can swear that thing is what is happening?

- I got to spend the whole weekend with you.

- What's that on your arm?

- That's nothing little man.

I'm like this the rest of me.

- Has anybody seen Eddie?

(car passes by)

(soft music)

And the Lord said, "Behold the people is one

and they have all one language

and this they begin to do.

And now nothing will be restrained from them,

which they have imagined to do."

And the Lord said, "Behold,

the people is one and they all have the same language

and now nothing will be restrained from them

and which they have imagined to do."

It says it right here in the Bible,

Genesis chapter 11, verse six

as long as we are one,

we speak the same language, the gospel.

Man, there is nothing that we can't do.

(clears throat)

There is a problem in this church.

Simply put, we're not being responsible in this church.

And I know you're not being responsible at home

because nobody's watching you.

This is up to us to change.

Everyone form a circle.

Come on, get up.

We got a long day ahead of us, come on.

David I'm handing you this ball.

Now I need you to pass this to someone

that's not beside you.

He has to be the same person,

every single time you throw the ball.

And that goes for everyone.

- Say it again.

- Get focused Mike.

- I need you to throw the ball to the same person,

every single time you throw the ball,

we're gonna try to do this for five minutes.

You ready?

Let's go.

- Come on Mike catch the ball, win.

- It's not about winning.

It's about responsibility.

It's about doing your part,

so the family can function properly.

Let's go.

Let's go again.

And this isn't about goofing off.

Let's go.

Well, I'm a little disappointed that it's just us few,

but that's what God wanted, I accept.

There's two rules for these next two days.

One is whatever happens here,

stays here.

Can we agree on that?

Do you agree Craig,?

Do you agree?

- Yeah, I agree.

- Accept change,

agree?

Guys I have a confession to make.

Before I say it, I wanna apologize.

I wanna apologize to the church

and I wanna apologize to you guys.

We all know I went to the university in Maine.

What was I doing way out there?

I'm just the boy from Georgia.

Well,

there was this young girl.

This girl was a high school girl

who would come on campus

and flirt with the college guys.

I was one of those college guys.

Now I'm not gonna blame the devil,

deny the fact that

I knew what was going on between me and her.

What I didn't realize that

she didn't even attend the university.

Long story short.

She comes to my dorm

one day with a cup full of alcohol.

This college guy gets drunk with this high school girl

has sex and she ended up pregnant two weeks later.

Yeah scared to tell the parents that,

well, who seemed to be more frustrated

that she had sex with a black guy than anything else?

I said I raped her,

with no proof of rape,

no proof of a fake ID

and a long list of other guys

that she slept with on campus.

I was the one who served five years.

I thought I was gonna feel better at saying it.

Lance.

- Do your wife know about this?

- No.

(claps)

(crowd claps)

- Pastor I think I'll speak for all of us,

when I say we honor and we respect your honesty

and need it later.

If it's all right with you, I'd like to pray for you.

- Yes, sir.

(birds chirping)

- Go on and pass it to your boy so he can drop it.

- Don't worry about him, we got this.

- Stay focused Mike.

What are you doing ? You can't even catch the ball.

What are you doing to stay focused man.

- Mark we're just having fun.

That's all.

- Winners never quit.

- Just let him have his moment to himself, right?

- You know, you need a case on that, man.

You gotta broke it.

- My friend owns a cell phone store

and I don't have a case.

What type of friend are you?

- Hold up, this kind of friend.

- For real, are you serious?

- It's just a case man, I can get another one on Monday

when I go to the store.

No big deal.

- My man.

I appreciate that.

- Hey,

what do you want from me?

You don't love me.

You love Pastor Gerald.

He's happy wife.

Happy family.

You let him keep his girls

and you take mine away from me.

You don't love me.

You don't.

(sombre music)

(footsteps)

- Mike, hard work, dedication Mike.

- Well that must be some dream you were having.

- I keep having this weird dream, man.

Craig, who could you be talking to

at two o'clock in the morning Craig.

- Oh Sam, there is nobody I was just playing a game.

- I'll be back then, I am going to the bathroom.

(suspenseful music)

- Who is it?

- [David] David.

- Come in.

(murmuring)

what's up?

- Yeah, can I have a word with you for a moment?

- Now?

- Yes now.

- Sure, come on in.

Have a seat.

How's it going?

- It's good, good.

- What can I help you with Nick?

- I have to just come out and say this.

I have an issue with watching

inappropriate things online.

- Your what?

- I have a problem with watching

inappropriate things online

- Yeah, I heard that.

What did you mean by inappropriate things?

- What I mean is adult content.

- Adult only content.

- Adult only

stuff, stuff, stuff.

- So why didn't you tell me that

when you came in and shook my hand?

- I've been having this problem for awhile that...

You know, I just feel guilty.

(water pouring)

You know me and my wife...

(water pouring)

I become addicted to watching.

- I thought you and your wife were happy.

I just assume your sex life wasn't an issue.

- She's insecure and she's becoming depressed

and it's affecting that part of our life.

- So what are you gonna do?

- What do you mean?

- What do I mean?

One thing I always try to make clear to my daughters.

Is that whatever man,

they choose to marry,

make sure that he makes them better.

If a woman doesn't improve

from being with the man she's with,

then why is she with him?

I don't mean richer,

I mean her flaws should become more flawless.

If she's the type of gossip everyday to other people

that should cease because when she comes home to you,

you're all ears to her.

And if she was insecure before you met her,

she should be even less insecure

because you tell her she's beautiful every day.

See men always come to me

about what their wives are doing "wrong"

and in all honesty it's what you're not doing.

You see?

- I think I do.

- Don't come in here, shake my hand,

knowing you've been on the internet.

(birds chirping)

Hey, why are you not out there playing with the guys?

What's going on buddy?

- My dad.

- The basketball situation?

- He's everyday over everything,

I don't wanna play sports like daddy,

I want to be a chef.

- Well, have you told him?

- I did.

He says am supposed to play football.

- Well, some people only believe in signs and wonders.

- What do you mean?

- No matter how many times a person goes to church

or listens to the word,

their stubbornness or lack of prevents them

from understanding.

Sometimes it takes a miracle for them to believe.

Sometimes you just have to show,

are you ready to show?

I mean you can cook, right?

- Yes am a beast in the kitchen.

- Okay.

Well, if you're a beast, show them you are in a beast.

- So you want me to cook?

- Why not?

I got a kitchen full of food

and I'm about to burn it all.

I mean, at least if you do it,

they won't be as hard on you,

as they will on me.

- Dope, let me get my stuff..

- All right.

(piano music)

- Now that,

that was good.

- It was three times better than lunch.

What?

- Food was good, huh?

There's something I need to tell you all about that meal.

- What, you didn't cook it?

- You're right, I didn't

- I knew it.

What restaurant you get it from?

- Here.

- Chef Ramsay.

So where is he at?

- He's right there.

- You know that's crazy.

Your kid cooks like a pro.

- Mike you got a gift, son.

- Seriously Mike!

Mike cooked this?

- Yes he did.

- He'd been here the whole while,

but you made us eat this livestock earlier.

- Your son is a genius in the kitchen.

- I know what my son is.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

You're tryna persuade my son to be a chef.

- No, man.

I just wanted to give him a chance

to show you his true gift.

- So you're his father now,

because you run the church,

now you're trying to run my house.

- I'm trying to pull rank in your house, man.

- I was born to be a chef.

- Boy, be quiet.

But you did.

I'm sick of this chef mess.

- But dad am good at it.

- I thought I told you to shut up.

Look at what you've done.

I'm the daddy in my house not you.

- You wanna know what Mark?

You're absolutely right.

I'm not a man in your house

and neither are you.

You're a bully in your house

and everyone in here knows it.

I mean, let's just get right down to the truth, Mark.

You're tryna live out your little football dreams

by stuffing it down your son's throat.

It didn't happen Mark.

Let it go.

He's a chef.

Let's just keep it a hundred.

- You wanna keep it 100?

Football wasn't a dream for me,

it was my life.

I gave football everything I have.

And it almost cost me everything.

You don't know what it's like

at the age of 15

having to be the man of the house

because your father decides to leave five kids

with your sick mother

to go have fun with a 21 year old girl.

You don't.

Football was everything I had.

It was all I knew,

it's all i know.

Pastor I can't.

Let my son see me cry like this.

(piano music)

- Come on man, Mike, you know your daddy love you.

He just wants what's best for you, that's all.

That's what all fathers want.

You gotta listen to him at some point,

just tryna see what he's coming from, Mike.

He not gonna tell you nothing wrong...

Talk to him.

He won't listen to me.

He just need to hear it from you.

- You did a good job in here with the food.

I was very impressed.

I could cook like that, if I had to,

I guess that is your gift.

- Why do you hate me?

- I don't hate you.

I hate myself.

I just take it out with you.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I almost ruined you.

You're a smart kid.

I'm sorry if I suck at being a dad.

- You don't suck.

- Man you are a small kid.

- God doesn't say what you wanna love,

He say what you need.

I need you dad.

(door opens)

(door closes)

- Hey Denise.

- So nobody's heard from him?

- [Pr. Gerald] Yes Nick said he talked to him

and he was on his way.

- When was that?

- That was when we first got here.

- First got here!

A whole day has went by,

nobody called me.

- Yes Ms. Denise, I apologize.

You're absolutely right.

We should've call.

It's just been a lot going on.

- A lot going on,

my husband could be dead

on the side of the road.

- We didn't think much of it

because he's always late or he never shows up.

- What? That's your excuse?

That's how you're gonna shepherd your people?

- Will try and contact him.

- What kind of man are you?

You know, all the men at this church are trash.

You know the women do all the work.

You men are lazy.

You are useless.

My husband could be dead

and you're just gonna look for him a day later.

I hate this church and I hate you.

(sombre music)

(knocks)

- Hey man, you're okay?

Yes,I got a guy over here.

I don't know if he's asleep or unconscious

but he's not waking up.

Yeah I checked but he's really weak,

I can't really tell.

(soft music)

- I wish you too baby.

(singing inaudibly)

- You play too much man.

- Good, good, good, everybody doing good?

- Yes sir.

(crowd murmuring)

- All right.

- Pastor I've been meaning to ask you something.

What makes you feel like God told you to have it?

Like do you talk to him or something?

- It's called relationship.

- What'd you mean relationship?

- Well, the more time I spend with him,

the easier it is for me to hear his voice

or to understand his word.

It's like a mother and child,

a mother can notice her child's cry

amongst a bunch of kids

because she has that relationship with the child.

She spends time with the child.

- See, I understand all of that, but

I guess what I'm really trying to ask is like,

do you hear his voice or something?

- Yeah, I do.

It could be any way God wants me to hear it.

It could be through a sign on the street.

Something that someone says, a dream.

- So God spoke to me in a dream once.

Oprah was stalking me.

- Anyway,

I'm asking because,

I think God just wanna to talk to me.

I can't explain it,

there's this dream I keep having.

it's me, my wife,

and a snake.

- Yeah so you've been drinking

more than holy water again.

red wagons, snakes.

Dr. Seuss dreams.

Man you know what?

I'm gonna head out of here.

- Wait, before you head out,

I wanna show you all something.

(soft music)

You see what those lights are over there,

where those lights are used

to be an abandoned church years ago.

The city was about half the size that it is now,

but they had a bad flu outbreak.

- I read about that.

I read that it was the worst the city had ever seen.

They said, it was in the air or something like that.

Like so many people stepped outside, they got sick.

- True.

The city had never seen anything like it.

The hospitals couldn't handle it.

They didn't have enough staff or equipment,

but that church,

the women of that church,

they took in those who were sick,

those who couldn't wait days to be treated.

But there was something special about that story,

the men.

The men stepped in and helped.

They saw it as a responsibility.

I want you all to do something for me.

All right come on, form a circle for me, come on.

- Should we have to do this right now?

- Yes right now, form a circle please.

(soft music)

Guys you've had enough practices.

Hey, let's get ready to go to the last service.

You're all ready?

I'll take that.

(murmuring)

Thank you, sir.(laughs)

Good practice, good practice.

Good practice.

Alright, my man.

- Yes sir.

- David?

I think this is your phone.

Yeah.

I think this is yours.

That's your wife, right?

- Yeah ,that's my wife.

- Nice picture.

(sombre music)

How are you doing son? You're all right?

- Yeah am fine.

- You're sure?

Now you know, you're leading us in prayer today.

You got it.

You're like the spirit already hit you.

- Someone did.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Man what's wrong with you?

- Man that's my wife, Craig!

That's my wife! I trusted you and everything!.

- Let me out.

Sorry.

- Yeah, you are sorry.

I hate you.

And everything about you Craig.

- No many of you are just spending

so much time in the church,

it wouldn't last,

it wouldn't happen.

- I don't wanna go to church.

She keeps sending me the trash so she could be with you.

I call you for help,

but you not coming, you know what?

You too busy helping my wife, right?

Let me go, let me go.

- David hold up.

- Not right now, Lance.

- I love you.

- What!

- Like I really love you.

(claps)

- Awesome.

He loves like a brother in Christ.

Hallelujah.

- No Nick like a relationship.

- Lance are you gay?

What are you all looking at me for?

- Well, so you get this under control Pastor.

We told you it will ever happen if this day didn't go well.

- [Pr. Gerald] It's work in progress.

- We never wanted you to have this retreat.

But you said, God called on you.

You're just tryna save your job.

Dragging these men down here

for your own selfish plan.

- But you said, God called you.

- He did that.

- Then why is he saying something different?

- See you on Sunday.

I mean the beginning of you notice.

(sombre music)

(instrumental music)

- Mind if I come in?

- Yeah

- You know,

sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that,

we don't realize what's going on around us.

I'm sorry.

You know what the rainbow really stands for?

I mean, look, this isn't easy for me either.

Sometimes when people voice their opinions

about homosexuality,

it's like we're the scum of the earth.

- They treat us just like we not even equal.

We all children of God.

Did Jesus say love all?

- Yeah.

But it doesn't mean that God agrees

with everything that we do.

I mean, it's like our parents,

who love us dearly,

but they don't always agree

with everything that we do.

- I ask everyday.

Why Jesus had to let me be born this way.

- The same reason we're all born the way that we are Lance.

When a child is born

and when they're growing,

they're not taught to lie or steal.

They just do it.

God has a plan for all our lives

and he expects us to do right.

Therefore he gives us the ability to do right.

- People treat us just like, we're not even normal.

Like yourself,

you walk around here thinking you better than somebody.

Don't you think you should

get the log out of your eye

before you try to come get the log out of mine.

- It's not that I don't agree with homosexuality

because I think it's wrong.

I don't agree with it

because I don't think God agrees with it.

I wish you could do anything

and without hurting anyone.

But again, I don't think that aligns with God,

but that has nothing to do with me being your friend, Lance,

me denying you friendship

or rights because you're gay is insane.

Me not agreeing with your homosexuality

is my relationship with God

and has nothing to do with me loving you.

I love you Lance.

(soft music)

- I love you too Pastor.

(soft music)

Thou shall love the Lord their God,

with all their heart,

with all their soul,

with all their mind.

This is in great commandment.

(soft music)

- Craig.

- What?

- I need to talk to you guys together

before we get out of here,

let's go.

- I messed up.

- I know.

Jesus and everyone in here knows.

- David was a good guy.

He would give you the shirt off his back.

- That's true.

Son what you did was very dangerous.

And I know you're brave enough to try to fix it.

Let's go.

- What do you expect then?

Celebrities cheat on their wives all the time.

Some of them are beyond beautiful and they still cheat.

- So what are you saying, Craig?

- If celebrities cheat on their spouses,

what makes you think that

normal people like us won't?

- Normal people?

So you're tryna tell me that

our spouse's beauty determines

if her husband is gonna be faithful to her or not?

Son you gotta be damn as a break.

- Okay look just because you're my Pastor--

- Damn as a break,

you heard what I said?

A woman's beauty has nothing

to do with a boy's self-control.

- Who you calling a boy?

- Men, many women don't cheat son.

They don't put themselves in situations to cheat.

They don't put their spouse in situations to cheat

and they don't hang around people

who are okay with cheating.

Boys cheat.

- I got you boy.

- [Pr. Gerald] Come on fellows.

We are men and God is holding us accountable.

Who did God ask about eating from the tree?

It was Eve the devil lied to,

but God question Adam,

'cause at the end of the day,

he is responsible.

We are responsible.

It needs to be seen throughout our children's lives,

neighborhoods,

city, county state in the whole world.

We gotta be the example.

Did you know that most children spend more time in school

than with their parents?

Did you know three quarters of teachers are females?

It's worse in elementary and middle school.

92% of childcare workers are females.

The child already spends his first nine months

in a woman's womb.

Goodness gracious.

When are we going to step in?

When are we going to step in

and lead and try not to control.

When are we going to be men?

- Have you seen Dan?

- Oh, they're actually

in the room having a conference over there girl.

- Probably football.

- Hey girl, you good? - Hey good, how are you?

- All right. - Good.

Hey Davey.

Pastor's gotta talk to you really quick.

- I'll talk to him at the church.

- Wait, David, please.

It's super important to him.

He's gotta talk to you.

(soft music)

- It's ability.

Don't lose sight of him.

Be responsible for who you're throwing the ball to

and also be responsible for your own catch.

(soft music)

(piano music)

(knocks)

- Ms. Jones.

Ms. Jones.

- Wait a minute there.

I'm sorry, these kids are keeping me busy.

- You can go.

- What?

- I mean, your job is done.

You can go.

- I can go?

- Oh no, no, I'm sorry.

I mean like you can actually go on at your service.

You don't have to sit here

and work like a slave every Sunday.

(laughs)

I got you, yeah.

I got you.

- Well make sure that all the diapers are put away,

so we have them for next Sunday.

- You won't be coming back here next Sunday.

- Waah! I thought we were doing a good job.

- You do.

You and all of the women always do,

but the men don't appreciate it.

And that's not being a man.

But yeah you're more than welcome to come back here anytime,

because I know you love doing your job,

but the truth is the men just need to be a little

more active in the church.

- You took the words right out of my mouth.

- I like that you see it like that.

Go enjoy yourself.

(soft music)

(instrumental upbeat music)

- Babe, what's wrong?

- I need to tell you something.

I'm just gonna be man enough

and apologize for you for not having told you sooner.

Remember when I told you I attended school in Maine?

- Yeah

- I did but online.

It's because this girl named--

- Susan McKay, I know.

She lied and said that you raped her.

Her family lied and,

because they didn't want

anybody to know that a well to do family

had a daughter that was lying about her age,

skipping school and sleeping around.

- I didn't mean to hurt you, baby.

- You didn't hurt me.

I am just relieved that you stepped up and admitted it.

- Why didn't you tell me you knew?

- That was not my job.

That was your job.

My job was to be the best godly wife I can be.

- How did you know?

(laughs)

How did you find out?

- Y'all men think women are stupid.

I researched you before our first date.

You were in Southwark 27D,

and your inmate number

was four, two, one, eight, eight, two.

I can see you want better.

When you first got there,

you were in a cell with Jeremiah Dotson

and then after 18 months

you were in the cell with some guy

with the last name as Zachary.

That dude was crazy.

I don't know how you stayed in there with him.

- Were you like some kind of FBI agent

in your former career or something?

- No, I am a woman,

not a girl, but a woman.

I had to know what I was getting into.

- Okay.

- Being a FBI agent,

isn't that bad.

So how about I start by inspecting you?

(contemplative piano music)

(upbeat music)
