(peaceful orchestral music)

- My nan always told me that
God was gonna guide my steps.

And he was gonna lead me.

- Listen, boy.

And you best not never take them off.

You hear me?

- Yes, Ma'am.

- Now repeat it.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

- 250 for the hour.
- 250!

Baby, look, you're trying
to break my pocket!

Baby, do that include lobster and shrimp?

- Uh-uh.

- Oh, let me talk to you for a second.

Come here for a second!
- Back away.

Girl, he ain't have no money.

- Child, I wouldn't even worry about it.

The club was jumping tonight,
we gonna make some good money.

What street you hittin'?

- I got a john down on U,
then I'm gonna head up 14.

- All right, we gonna head over to Dupon.

If we don't run into you later tonight,

we'll see you at the Trap?
- Right.

- Be careful, girl.
- Okay!

Girl, wastin' my time.

- I don't know why you was negotiating

with his broke behind.

- [Johnson] Put your
right hand on the Bible

and your left hand in the air.

"I, Leo Shepherd."

- I, Leo Shepherd.

- "Vow to serve this church
with dignity and humility."

- Vow to serve this church
with dignity and humility.

- "Seeking first the lost souls,

"and to spread the
gospel to all the people,

"to the ends of the earth."

(flames roar)
(melancholic piano music)

Pastor Shepherd?

- Seeking first the lost souls
and to spread the word of the

gospel to all the people,
to the ends of the earth.

- "And with great care and
fidelity, I shall carry out

"my duties encumbered upon
me toward this church."

- And with great care and
fidelity, I will carry out

the duties encumbered upon
me towards this church.

- [Johnson] Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please welcome

our newest pastor, Pastor Leo Shepherd.

(congregation applauds)

- Thank you, thank you so much.

How is everyone doing?

Doing all right?

Now, if we would all start communion.

This bread that we hold
in our hands represents

the body of Christ that was beaten,

broken and bruised for our transgressions.

Shall we eat together?

(woman pants)

And this cup that we hold
here, it represents the blood

that was shed, washes
away all our blemishes.

And though our sins may be as
scarlet as the blood of Jesus,

he will make them as white as snow.

Amen.
- Amen.

- Shall we drink together?

(congregation applauds)

(door slams)

(congregation murmurs)

Oh, now, church, church.

Calm yourselves now, relax.

Church?

- I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm gonna
have to ask you to step out.

You're clearly disturbing our service.

- I can't go back out there--
- Ma'am, you're gonna have--

- I want everyone to settle yourselves.

Ushers, she can have a seat.

It's all right.

Can you turn your Bibles
to First Corinthians,

chapter 15, verse nine and ten.

And it reads, "For I am
the least of the apostles,

"who am not worthy to
be called an apostle,

"because I've persecuted
the church of God."

But by the grace of God, I am what I am,

and his mercy towards me was not in vain.

You see, I'd like to title
this message here today,

"I'm unqualified."

(congregation speaks over each other)

Now, systematically, God does

amazing things with treacherous sinners.

There was Abraham,

who was an extreme
alcoholic and told lies.

There was Moses, the most great,

magnificent leader was also a murderer.

The masculine Samson,
taunted into fornication.

Our great King David, an adulterer.

Solomon was a womanizer,

and Isiah had himself cursin' tongue.

Rahab was a prostitute.

Peter denied God!

And the great philosopher and
writer, Paul, who wrote half

the New Testament, was a
murderer of innocent Christians!

Now, if God can use all
of these wretched sinners,

why can't God use me?

(congregation cheers and applauds)

I say, hold, hold.

I say, why can't God use me?

Why can't God use you?

(congregation cheers and applauds)

- Hey.

- Gigi, girl, where you been at?

- You missed it,
everybody was out tonight,

and they was spendin' that
sha-money, we done came up.

- I don't have my phone.

- Well, answer the question, girl.

Where you been and how
much money did you make?

- I ain't make nothin', I was at church.

(women laugh)

So, y'all think I'm lyin'?

- Girl, if you went to church,
then I'm the Virgin Mary,

and we all know, I ain't no virgin.

- No, she ain't.
- Okay!

- Ladies. (howls)

- Hey, Wolf.
- Busy night tonight?

- Yes, we did good, we
made a lot of money.

- What you got?
- Here you go.

- Gigi?

- I ain't get to work tonight.

- What you mean?

You work every night.

- I know, but I was at church.

(Wolf laughs)

- Y'all hear this?

You was at church?

Fellas, go get the car.

Ladies, keep makin' that money.

- Okay, Wolf.

(somber orchestral music)

- [Leo] Father.

Use these pews to sit the
broken and the shamed.

God, use these pews to harness their pain,

depression and sickness.

God, use this pulpit to be
a platform for your power.

Let it show your
brilliance, let it present

your documentary, your movie, your story.

- No, Wolf, please.

- Is this where you was at, huh?

Is this the church you was at?
- Wolf, I'll work all night.

- [Leo] God, use this altar
to hold all our tears.

Bring people to their knees and
let them call out your name.

- You was on the clock and you
wasted time at church, huh?

- Help me, please--
- Huh!

Now, this is gonna be
the last time you go,

without gettin' me my damn money.

- He bound to put hands on the girl.

- You go in your stupid little
church and you pray to God

you get me my money.

'Cause if not,

you're gonna have another
little Bible study.

- Father, open these doors.

Open these doors for
families that are divided.

Mend relationships.

Bring broken marriages
through these doors.

Bring murderers through these doors, Lord.

Bring fornicators through these doors.

I beg you, Father, let them
flow in from these doors

asking, "what must I do to be saved?"

Hey, miss.

Miss, you okay?

Come on, come on, I got you.

Let's go inside, you gonna be all right.

I hope this helps now.

You're all cleaned up.

- Thank you, you really
ain't have to do all that.

- It's all right, don't mind at all.

I'm Leo.

What's your name?

- I'm Ginger, but everybody call me Gigi.

- Everybody calls you Gigi, huh?

Can I call you Ginger?

- Hi.

- Hi.

So, uh, Ginger, are you
sure you're okay in there?

Is there anything else I can--
- No, I'm fine.

I probably shouldn't even be here.

I never should've came
here in the first place.

- You're okay, you're fine,
this building's for everyone.

- Even a call girl?

- Even a call girl.

- What the hell is goin' on in here?

Whoa.

Now, I'm not tryin' to get
in your business now, but,

that didn't look right to me
and I don't approve of men

puttin' their hands on women now.

- Look, I assure you,
nothing happened, all right?

She just came in here
for some help, that's it.

- Well it looked like that to
me, it looked like you hit her

and you know you can go to jail

when you put your hands on people.

- I did't put my hands on her.

- I seen you on the stage
earlier this evenin'.

I think you're an upstanding young man.

This your first day and you're
already causing a scandal.

- I didn't beat her, and you
can ask her yourself, now--

- No, I'm not, I got three strikes.

I'm not gonna ask nobody nothin'.

- Well, look here, I know we
got off on the wrong foot,

and we haven't been formally introduced.

I'm Pastor Shepherd.
- Oh, I know who you are.

See, the Facilities Director here.

Everybody call me One Eye.

- All right, well it's
good to meet you, One Eye.

- Well, I'm gonna be
keeping an eye out for you.

All right.

This doggone thing.

Thing don't go where it supposed to.

Doggone it.

I don't know why they put
this swivel thing on here.

My old chair wasn't like this.

All right.

Dagnabbit, this thing, it
won't pick up no speed.

- Oh, my God!

Rosetta!

What is wrong, baby?

Get me help!

- I'm gonna tell you
somethin', I have spent

way too much time building
the reputation of this church

to allow it be thrown away by some unwed

teenage pregnant girl leading worship.

- You can't do this to me!

- I want you out of this church!

- What is going on in here?

You both are going to hell!

- No, no, Mother Mildred,
just calm yourself now.

Just come on out for a
second, just please calm down.

- [Mildred] Well, why is she
here then, why is she here?

- [Leo] She came here looking for God.

- [Mildred] Yeah, she was
lookin' for something all right,

but it sure wasn't God!

(knocks)

- Come in.

- You wanted to see me, Elder Roberts?

- Pastor Leo, yes, please, have a seat.

Let me have a word.

So, what happened this morning?

- I see you've talked to Mother Mildred.

I was just helping someone.

- And exactly what kind of help is it that

you have a strange female
sleeping in our church?

- All right.

Look, I apologize if it
caused any inconvenience.

Elder Roberts, if you would've
seen this woman, all beat up

the way she was, you
would've helped her, too.

- And by helping you mean sleeping?

- She was tired.

- Tired.

Tired.

- From the beatin', I reckon.

- Listen, Pastor Leo.

I think you need to go
and see your other elders,

because they're quite alarmed.

They don't trust that you
understand church protocol.

- All right.

- There's a way things are
supposed to be done here.

- Yes, sir.

I'd like to apologize for being

inconsiderate of church protocol.

But I need y'all to know that
I was only trying to help,

and you have nothing else
to worry about from me.

I promise you that, and I'm
ready to lead this church.

Me opening up our church doors
for a woman who was beaten to

blood has nothing to do with
my preparation, nothing at all.

Now, y'all brought me
here to lead the sheep,

and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

But the only thing I ask is that

the will of the pastor be
the will of the church.

- [Man] How you doin', man?

- All right, good to see you,
brother, good to see you.

- Hey!
- Oh, whoa, hey, brother.

- (laughs) Hey, cheer up, man,
I ain't tryin' to rob you!

Hey, that car you drove in here, man.

That thing was nice, man,
let me wash it for you.

Look, look, I got a special goin' on.

Full detail for five dollars,
I know what you thinkin'.

I saw a little bubble come out your head.

"How he gonna wash my
entire car for five dollars?

"He's probably wash the
license plate and the hood."

But look, I'm gonna wash your
entire car for five dollars.

All right, I got you, man.

- Yeah, I appreciate you,
brother, but no thank you.

All right, have a good one.

- Hold on, hold on, hold
on, step into my office.

Dude, this is my situation,
look at my brother.

Look over there, look over there.

That's my little brother.

Yeah, yeah, you see, it's bad, man.

You don't much it costs to
make him not act like that.

Just look, it's a bad situation.

He got a bike that he don't pedal.

He got a whistle he don't blow.

And he's hungry too, man,
we got a bad situation, man.

You want somethin' to eat?

- Food, food, food!

Yeah, food, yeah!

- I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.

I'll give you five dollars for
your trouble, how about that?

- Aw, man, (chuckles) you all right.

You know what they say.

"Give a man a fish, he eat for a day.

"Give a man five dollars,
he eat for another day."

You know, somethin' like that,
hey, look, the name's Juju.

- Juju, all right, all right.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Good to meet you, and this is, again?

- Rokie.

- Rokie, all right, how you doin'?

Hey, hey, if y'all not too busy,

how 'bout y'all come on in and join us?

- Be real with you, man, I
don't do the church thing.

I was playin' about it a little bit,

but I don't do the
church thing, all right?

I'm out, man.
- Look here, man.

If you change your mind,
the door's always open.

Now, once you learn to change
your mind, there will be

no weapon formed against
you that shall prosper.

(congregation applauds)

Now, ushers, please, now open those gates,

and let those people in.

You come meet me right here,
right now at this altar,

and you give it to God.

You give your pain to him, you
give your suffering to him.

You give your heartache to
him in the name of Jesus!

Give it all to him, Amen.

Amen, Amen.

Come on down, come on down.

He loves you just the way
you love him, come on down.

Yes, Father.

Praise God, yes, brother, how you doin'?

Yes, brother, how you doin'?

Oh, praise him, praise him, praise him.

Oh, yes, brother.

- You see, we done spent
too-too-too too much money

in this church to let some
j-j-junkies mess it up!

- Well, I gotta tell you, Pastor.

It really is a mess up in here.

- Yeah, I know, I apologize,
I'm gonna help clean it up.

- Don't worry about it, ain't
nothin' we can't clean up.

Phil, One Eye.

Send me two workers down
here on the lawn, A-S-A-P.

(distorted radio chatter)

Copy.

I've been in this church
25 years, and I ain't never

seen God's spirit move in
here like it did tonight.

- Thank you, I appreciate it.

Mm, look at that.
- What you got?

- Somebody left a whole
bag of weed out here.

Can you believe that?

- Let me take that, Pastor.
- Are you sure?

- Yes, sir.

Kids be playin' on the
dumpsters around the church.

We wouldn't want them to find this.

We'll be in a world of trouble.

- Yeah, we definitely would.

Say, One Eye, um--
- Yes, sir.

- You wouldn't happen to
know where prostitutes

be at around here, would you?

- You're a man of God, what
you doin' with prostitutes?

- Just lookin' for an
old friend, that's all.

- Right down here, 12th and Oak.

Find all the prostitutes you need.

- All right, thanks, One Eye.

- Yes, sir.

Hey, Pastor!

Be careful out there.

You don't wanna get
nothin' on you. (chuckles)

I think Pastor got a little freak in him.

Freak!

Freaky-deek. (chuckles)

(somber piano music)

- Excuse me, miss.

- Pastor?

- You got time to talk?
- No, I'm workin'.

- [Leo] Well, how much for an hour?

- What?

- [Leo] How much for an hour?

- You a pastor, you don't do this.

- So what, my money no good?
- 200.

- Okay, here.

Look, I just wanted to apologize.

- Why?

- [Leo] For what happened at the church.

- No worries, Pastor.

I already know how you church people are.

I'm loaded with sin, I don't belong there.

- Yes, you do.

- Why did you come here?

- I came here looking for you.

- And what you want with me?

- I don't know, I guess I just--

- Look, Pastor, whatever--

- Just call me Leo.

- Okay.

Leo.

Whatever happens stays between us.

- That's good to know.

- So, we just gonna sit here?

- Where else can we go?

- We can go to my place.

- And where is that?

- Go up to the light and make a right.

- Okay.

Sure.

(dark atmospheric music)

You live in a motel?

- Girls like me don't
buy homes, we rent rooms.

- I see.

So, how long you been here?

- I come here often.

Different day, different room.

Enough about me, what made
you wanna be a preacher man?

- Well, Jesus said,

"Those who will come to me I
shall by no means cast out."

Now, I saw someone that I love

be turned away from
church because of her sin.

Even back then, I knew it was
wrong and I wanted to fix it.

- Who was it?

(knocks)

(baby cries)

- Rosetta, baby, what're
you doing, it's midnight.

- Hey, Momma.

Look, can you watch Leo?

I just got some business
I need to take care of.

It'll be just for tonight
now, Momma, I promise.

Please, Momma, please.

- Give me the boy, Rosetta.

- Thank you, Momma.

I'll be back in the mornin', okay?

(Leo cries)

- God got us.

It's all in his hands now, baby.

- Well, where's she?

Your mother.

- Oh, eventually the
drugs caught up with her.

She overdosed and she had a stroke,

and died by the time she was 26.

- What about your nana,
is she still around?

- Well, um...

She done gone to be with the Lord.

She meant so much to me
and I miss her dearly.

- Well, um, that's about all of our time.

So, thank you.

Maybe I'll see you around.

- Ginger.

Can I purchase more time?

(water splashes)

- [Ginger] I'm just freshenin'
up, I'll be right out.

- Okay, uh, you want me to
close the bathroom door?

- [Ginger] Oh, no, it's fine.

- Okay.

All right.

So, uh, where you from?

- [Ginger] Right here in the
heart of DC, how 'bout you?

- Oh, from Macon, Georgia,
I'm an old country boy.

- A country boy in a big
city, how you like it?

- It's pretty good so
far, but it's very busy.

I don't get why it takes 20
minutes just to go three miles.

I don't understand that.

And I had some of that
ol', that mamba sauce.

Ain't that what y'all call it?
(Ginger chuckles)

- No, it's mumbo sauce.

- Ah, right.

Mumbo sauce, got ya, yeah.

Oh, uh, Ginger, what you doin'?

- What, you paid for another
hour, what am I supposed to do?

- [Leo] Keep your clothes on now.

What you wanna take 'em off for?

- 'Cause I thought this
was what you wanted.

Why else do you come in my room?

- [Leo] To talk!

Now, can you please put
your clothes back on?

- So what, you think I'm ugly?

- [Leo] No, you're no ugly.

You're beautiful.

- Beautiful?
- Yes.

Be quite frank with you here,
you're drop-dead gorgeous.

- Then why don't you want me?

- 'Cause I'm in covenant
with God, all right?

And sex is for marriage.

- I'm so, I'm sorry, I'm so stupid!

I can't believe this.

I can only imagine what you think of me.

I cannot believe I'm naked
in front of a pastor.

Why are you even here?

Just go.

(somber atmospheric music)

- Hey, uh, look here.

Bein' naked ain't all that bad.

Most of my life, I done covered
up all of my sins from God,

and he saw right through those coverups.

But it wasn't until I finally
got fully naked with him

that he delivered me.

So, stay naked.

With God.

Not me.

- Pastor, you don't know
the things that I've done.

There's no heaven for me.

- Gettin' into heaven
doesn't make you perfect.

But I'd say puttin' your
clothes back on is a good start.

Look, all you have to do is
just ask him to forgive you.

But only if you want him.

Do you?

- I do.

- Good.

Good.

Give me your hands.

(suspenseful music)

- He turned our church into a crack house.

I'm telling you, God has
turned his back on us.

- He put our church in a lot of danger

by opening up that gate!

Who knows, they could've
come in and killed us all!

- Calm down, Sister Doris.

We will deal with Pastor Shepherd.

He just doesn't understand
how we operate here.

No need to get up in arms.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Take your time, Candy,
I wanna look pretty.

- Child, what is so special about this guy

that you wanna get all pretty?

- He's different.

- Girl, ain't no different,
all men are the same.

Dogs.

- Not him, he's a pastor.

- Oh, girl, he know Jesus?

- Hm, that ain't surprisin'.

Pastors live a double life all the time.

I just had a priest come
by me a couple weeks ago.

They all only want sex.

- But that's the thing,
he ain't even want sex.

I stripped naked in front
of him, he turned his back.

- I think that mean he gay.

- He's not gay.

- So you think.

- [Candy] Girl, that pastor is flyin'!

- Oh, yes, he is.

I wonder if he'll baptize me too, okay?

- Amen!
- Mm, hallelujah!

- [Candy] Girl, go tell it.

- Thanks again.

- It's no problem.

So, Ginger.

Where's your family?

- I don't have family.

- Oh, come on now, we
all got family somewhere.

- I grew up an orphan.

I was raised in foster homes.

I never met my mother.

I never met my father.

- Have you ever tried to find 'em?

- They weren't interested in me.

- Well, I am.

- So, what did you like doin' growin' up?

- Well, as a kid, I enjoyed ridin' horses.

- [Ginger] I never rode a
horse, I mean, I rode bikes.

- The funny thing about that is,

I ain't never rode no bike before.

- Wait, you've never ridden a bike?

- It ain't that funny.
- Okay, I'll tell you what.

If you teach me how to ride a horse,

I'll teach you how to ride a bike.

Deal?

- Deal.

(upbeat music)

- Okay, so the key to riding
a bike is all about momentum.

Once you get the right speed,

it'll be easier to balance yourself, okay?

Oh, but there are two
rules you must remember.

Always keep pedaling and
when you fall, get back up.

me the same if you did.

- Nothing will change the way I see you.

(somber atmospheric music)

- I started being molested when I was six,

by both of my foster parents.

When I would cry out, they would beat me.

Can you imagine losing your
virginity at six years old?

I grew up thinking sex was normal.

When I ran away,

I slept on benches, in
parks, under bridges.

Wherever I could find peace and quiet.

- What?

- I was kidnapped in a white van.

I was forced to be a drugged up sex slave.

Havin' sex was all I knew how to do, so,

I became a call girl.

That's how I started workin' for Wolf.

It was the only way I knew
how to make some money.

- I'm sorry.

- You don't have to be sorry.

God ain't fear.

- Play me somethin' nice.

(smooth saxophone music)
(peaceful atmospheric music)

- Leo.

What do you think heaven sounds like?

- I hear a choir with 1,000 angels.

That can be heard throughout
the entire universe.

I hear these soothing sounds
of violins and flutes.

I hear a big orchestra.

- What do you think it looks like?

- You.

(warm orchestral music)

- Leo, did you just kiss me?

- Ain't no such verse that
says "thou shall not kiss."

(Ginger chuckles)

- [Candy] Gigi, girl, where you been at?

- (chuckles) She been
in love, that's where.

You done got a man and forgot
about your real friends, huh?

- Stop it.

- It's all good, girl.

I got somethin' for you.

- Oh, no, I'm good.

- You good?

What you mean?

- I ain't on that stuff no more.

- What are you, like a
Christian now or somethin'?

- Yeah.
- I should be one, too.

'Cause I heard that the Rapture's comin',

and I don't wanna get left behind.

But, you think that's
happenin' this year, though?

- Girl, you already
halfway to hell anyway.

- Oh, shut up.

Know what you even talkin' about.

(background chatter)
(suspenseful music)

- What?

- I quit.

- What you mean, you quit?

- Wolf, I can't work for you no more.

I can't keep doin' this.

- Well, if you want out, you
know what you gotta do, right?

- Wolf, please, just let me go.

No, no, no, please, no!

- You know, he looks down
on all of us, doesn't he?

- [Leo] Yes, he sure does.

- You know, Pastor.

I like to believe that
window saved my life.

- Really?

- I was one of the most wanted,

most notorious drug dealers in all of DC.

- Is that right?
- Yes, sir.

And me and my boys had a shootout,

right here in the back of this church.

And to make a long story short, we lost.

(chuckles)

I got shot four times.

And my boys, they ran.

Left me lyin' in the street.

Bleedin' to death.

And I was layin' on my back,

lookin' right up at that window.

(chuckles)

- And that's how you found God?

- Oh, no, no, no, no, that's
how I got the name One Eye.

(both laugh)

Now, enough about me.

What's goin' on with
that ring right there?

- Ring?

What you mean, ring?
- Now, come on, Pastor.

I might not have but one
eye, but I can still see.

Now, tell me what's goin' on.

- I think I done found the woman

I wanna spend the rest of my life with.

- Now, you're sure about that?

- I haven't really made a decision yet.

I mean, that's why I'm
in here talking to God.

I guess I am a little
afraid about what people

might say about her,
because of her past and all.

- Everybody got a past, Pastor.

If God stopped blessin'
us because of our past,

there wouldn't be nobody
in this doggone church.

- Well, how do I know she's the one?

- Tell you a little trick.

You take that ring, you put
it in your glove compartment.

And lock it.

When she get in that
car and she asks you why

that glove compartment is
locked, that's the one.

But you wait 20 days,
and if she don't ask you

if that glove compartment is
locked, she ain't the one.

You see, God works in mysterious ways.

He gonna show you who the one is.

- Thank you.

I thought I left it in here.

Leo, why is your glove compartment locked?

- For a very special reason.

Ginger Clementine.

(upbeat music)

Will you be my wife?

- You wanna marry me?

- Yes, I do.
- Are you serious?

- Very serious.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes!

- [Pastor] "From this day forward."

- This day forward.
- "For better, for worse."

- For better, for worse.
- "For rich or for poor."

- For rich or for poor.

- "In sickness and in health."

- In sickness and in health.

- "Until death do us part."

- Till death do us part.

- By the power invested in me,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss your bride.

- Church, I would love to introduce you

to Mrs. Ginger Shepherd.

(congregation applauds)

- [Roberts] Pastor.

- Elder Roberts.

- I have a question.

- What's on your mind, elder?

- Is there anything we
need to know about this

new wife of yours?

- Anything like what?

- She didn't look like a Christian to me.

- Yes, well, she is.

You have nothin' to worry about.

- Of course.

All right.

Because we can't have anybody
terrorizing our church name.

Clear?

- Yes, sir, crystal clear.

Everything will be fine.
- All right.

Good man.

I trust you.

(upbeat music)

- Breathe, breathe, that's
it, that's it, breathe!

He's almost here, he's
almost here, keep going!

Keep going, it's okay!

I'd love to introduce you
all to the joy of my world.

My firstborn son.

Jackson Shepherd.

Ginger!

Babe?

I got your favorite pie!

(Jackson cries)
(melancholic piano music)

Ginger!

Ginger.

Oh, my God, no, no, no, no.

Wake up, wake up, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, oh, no, no, no.

Okay, oh, don't do this to me.

Come on, come on, come on, hey.

Hey, Ginger, wake up, baby.

- Mr. Shepherd?

- Hey, hey.

How is my wife?
- Your wife is fine.

She just needs to get a little rest,

and let the medication run its course.

There were extremely high levels of heroin

in your wife's blood stream.

Thank God your child is okay
and you found her in time.

Overdoses like these
normally don't end well.

- I understand.

Can I see her?

Ginger, it's been so long.

What you doin', goin' back to that stuff?

- I'm sorry.

- I just wanna know what
you was thinking about.

Was you thinking about God?

Or was you thinking about me?

Did you stop for one second
and think about Jackson?

- Leo, I can't be the
woman you need me to be.

I'm damaged goods.

- Remember what you told me,
when I was riding that bike?

You said, "keep peddlin'.

"And when we fall...

"We get right back up."

- But what if I do it again?

- Well, if you do it again...

Then I'll be right here, for
better or for worse, remember?

Until death do us part.

(peaceful piano music)

- Wow!

Hey, Pastor Shepherd,
how you doin' today, man?

- Hey, brother, how are you?

- I just joined your church, man.

What I wanna thank you for, Pastor,

is for opening up that
gate that night, man.

'Cause I've been strung
out on crack cocaine

for over 20 years, man.

Now, man, I went from
the crack house, man,

to Christ's house, man.

I am so excited, man.

Man, I used to smoke to go to the moon.

Now I'm goin' to heaven, man!

All because of your preaching,

and your teaching of the word of God, man!

Please keep preaching and teaching, man.

I'm gonna keep coming to church, man.

I have surrendered, man.

I love your word, man, I really do, man.

- [Leo] Make sure you keep comin' now.

- Yes, I'm gonna keep
comin', man, thank you, man!

Praise the Lord, man, thank you, Jesus.

I love you, thank you!

(upbeat music)

- Hi, Pastor Shepherd,
it's Tasha Cobbs Leonard.

I was calling because I just
wanted to congratulate you

on the amazing work that
you're doing there in DC.

We are praying for you, we
are absolutely in support,

but don't forget about your
folk in Georgia, all right?

- Pastor Shepherd?

Hey, it's Anthony Brown.

I've been hearing about
all the wonderful things

going on at your church.

You know I gotta tell my
pastor, Pastor Jenkins.

- Hey, Pastor Shepherd.

This is Pastor Jenkins, First Baptist.

So many great things about
the word you're doing here

in the DMV and I wanted
to welcome you to the DMV,

and let you know that if
there's any way we can help

and support you, please give us a call.

- Ginger?

(suspenseful music)

Ginger?

Ginger, you here?

Ginger?

Ginger, you in here?

Hello.

I'm here to bail out Ginger Shepherd.

- One moment, please.

Shepherd, Shepherd.

It'll be $1,500.

- 1,500, okay.

Just out of curiosity.

What were the charges
brought up against her?

- Possession of a controlled
dangerous substance

and prostitution.

She's a repeat offender.

(suspenseful music)

Momma!

Momma!

Momma, it's me, Leo!

- It ain't your momma, boy.

- You is my momma!

- I ain't your momma, boy!

Now, you go on, and get!

(Leo sobs)

- Leo.

I told you to stay in the car.

Why would you disobey me?

- [Leo] I seen her, I seen my momma.

- Listen, your momma's gonna
be all right, but you have me.

I will never leave you, ever.

- Promise?
- Oh, baby, I promise.

- Rehab is a good thing.

Okay?

Just remember that.

- Mrs. Shepherd.
- Mr. Shepherd.

- Mrs. Shepherd, come right with me.

- All right, no, no, no,
no, just turn around.

Come on with me, trust me,
we'll take good care of her.

All right.

- Man, I'm telling you,
I killed that audition.

I can feel it, I gonna be a star, darling.

- A star, a star, you'll be a star!

- Yeah, yeah.

- A star!

Oh.

Okay, okay, let's go.

Juju, it's Pastor!

- Yo, Pastor, what it do?

- Hey, what's goin' on, Juju?

- Hey, what's up?

Yeah, yeah.

- Hey, hold on, are we
still getting ice cream?

- Yeah, yeah, we're gonna go in a second.

- Okay, okay, take your
time, take your time!

- This your son?
- Yeah, man, this is Jackson.

- Hey, Rokie, go around the corner,

see if you can find ice
cream man, all right?

- Okay, got you!

I'll be right back!

- [Leo] Man, he's somethin'.

- So, uh, you wanna know

why I don't go to church for real, Pastor?

- You know, I always wondered.

- When I was growin' up...

My father left me, my brother,
he left all of us, right?

Typical.

And then this one time I was
at the playground, right?

And I saw my moms arguing
with the neighborhood pastor.

Come to find out, that that
dude was our real father,

and my moms was like his
little mistress or somethin'.

How a pastor gonna have a mistress?

How is that even possible?

And then I thought about it.

Just 'cause they say they
love God, don't mean they do.

- Juju, God is your true father.

- Well, I need to see a blood test, then.

'Cause no father would give
his son a life like this.

You see Rokie, man, I take care of him.

I'm all he has.

So, if he is yours, Pastor,

you make sure you make sure of that.

And take care of him, all right?

Later, Pastor.

- Being a sex slave...

Messed up my life.

It made me feel worthless.

I felt that nothing good
was ever gonna come to me.

But then I met Jesus.

He restored me.

And he gave me a reason to live.

- I'm still trying to figure
out why God did this to me.

But then I came across the Book of Job.

Chapter five, verse 18,
that reads, "he bruises,

"but he binds up.

"He wounds, but his hands,
his hands make whole."

He made me whole. (chuckles)

Yeah, he made me whole.

(group applauds)

- [Ginger] Baby.

I am doing so much better.

I'm doing everything that the
counselor's telling me to do.

Is everything okay?

- Ginger...

Have you ever stepped out on me?

- What do you mean, Leo?

- I mean, have you ever stepped out on me?

- No, never, I...

- Don't lie to me.

- No, look, this last time,
that was the only time.

I promise, never before that.

- But I guess I gotta face the truth,

whether you're ready to tell me or not.

- What are you talking about?

- Look at me, look in
my eyes, you tell me.

You tell me right now, is Jackson my son?

- Yes, Leo, why would
you even question that?

I'm your wife.
- 'Cause I got tested, Ginger!

And that boy...

That boy ain't mine.

Who's the father?

- I don't know.

- Of course you do.

- [Ginger] No, Leo, I...

- Ginger, yes, you do, who's the father?

- I don't know!

Oh, no, no.

- Well, if you want out, you
know what you gotta do, right?

- No.

- And you see, sometimes,
life may have you wonderin',

Lord, what am I to do now?

All this pain and heartache.

If God truly loves me
the way he says he does,

then why would he allow this to happen?

Why would he let my marriage dissolve,

or why would he let her leave me?

Why would he let my child get sick,

or why would he give me cancer?

If he is such a just, just
and merciful sanctified god,

then why would he allow
all this pain into my life?

Lord, why?

I'm gonna tell you why.

You see, sometimes, God
has to bring you through

the fires of hell just so he
can shape you for his purpose.

See, everyone in life is
dealt a different hand,

but the thing about God is, he only gives

his toughest battles out
to his strongest soldiers.

So, if he's putting you through hell,

it means that he has something in you.

It means that you have
something so good for the world,

that he has to break you!

Good Lord, before he can use you.

Amen.

(bright orchestral music)

- I made a copy for each one of you.

As you can see, the lady had a relapse,

was recently in jail and
just got out of rehab.

- Disgusting, how dare he?

What does he think this is?

- A prostituting drug fiend.

Our first lady's a ho.

- In our church.

- And on top of that, I
found out that our pastor

has been keeping a little
secret hidden from us.

- Good morning.

Good morning, I'm so sorry I'm late.

I got caught up with a few members.

- Members?

Or that harlot?

- Excuse me?

- We heard about your wife's
relapse and recent arrest.

- You don't think this is something

you should've told us about?

- Yes, well, I thought it'd be best

if I kept my wife's business private.

- Private?

- How can you love a person so filthy?

- The same way God loved you.

- Oh, you are callin' me filthy?

- You watch your mouth, young man.

- What kind of church
would we be to accept this?

- A church after God's own heart.

- What kind of church would we be

to accept a murderer for a pastor?

- What you talkin' about, D-D-D-Doris?

- I'm sure he's burning to tell you

all about his little incident.

- No matter what you've gone through,

no matter what you have done,

every single one of us,
no matter where we are,

needs grace one time in our life.

Some of y'all, two,
three, four, five times,

or even more, but it
does not matter because

every time God says "you
mess up, I'm there with you,

"and I'll hold you."

(congregation screams)

- He burned the entire church
down and everyone got out.

Except his loving grandmother.

- I did it.

I burned down that church
and I killed my grandmother,

and yes, I married a dirty
ho and I love that filthy,

drug-addicted prostitute, does
that make you better than me?

Am I not worthy of God's love?

Is she not worthy of God's love?

Well, forgive me, elders.

Forgive for making a mistake
and loving the unloved.

Forgive me for all my
wrongs, because apparently

there is no room in this
church for sinners like me.

There is only room in this
church for sinners like you.

(somber piano music)

- We would like to have a
word with you for a moment.

- Now, I'd like to think
that all are deserving

a chance to redeem themselves,
but it's hard to swallow

a ho and a murderer in our
church at the same time.

- I am not a ho, and I'm not a murderer.

I never killed anybody.

- Please listen to this.

- [Leo] I burned down
that church and I killed

my grandmother, and yes, I
married a dirty ho and I...

- Now, does that voice
sound familiar to you?

- Ginger!
- Get away from me, Leo!

- Ginger, what, Ginger!

Hey, where you goin'?
- Away from this church!

- For what, why?
- Don't play dumb.

- I'm not playin' dumb, all right?

I don't know why you're so upset!

- The elders, they let me
listen to that recording,

and I heard everything that you said!

You married a dirty ho?

- That's not--
- That's what you think of me?

- That's not what I meant to say.

- Don't lie, Leo!
- I'm not lyin' to you.

- You keep lying!

You killed your grandmother.

You don't think that's
something you should tell me?

- I was a little child, all right?

- And now you're a big liar!

- Ginger, just--
- No, Leo!

I don't want nothin' to do with you!

And I don't want nothin'
to do with that church!

- Now, you don't like me,
that's fine, you don't like my

past, that's fine, too, because
I don't like it, either.

Now, you can drag my name through the mud,

you can even kick me out if
you want to, but my wife,

my wife is off limits, you hear me?

Now, you can crucify me,

but that woman done been
through enough already.

She don't need to be goin'
through this with y'all!

And that's exactly what's
wrong with the church today.

Y'all too busy condemning
instead of repairing!

Now, you leave her be
now, you leave her be!

Record that.

Yes, I married a, I
married a dirty ho and I,

a dirty ho, a dirty ho and I--

- Thank you all for being here

at this emergency church meeting.

We...

Are well aware that
there have been rumblings

throughout the community about
the pastor and first lady

being involved in a bit of a scandal.

We want to make it crystal clear,

that we are about service here.

However...

- Excuse me, Elder Roberts,
I don't mean to cut you off,

but I spent 10 years in
prison for armed robbery.

And when I got out of jail,
I thought I was useless.

I thought I had no future,
I thought I had no hope,

until I came to this church.

And this young brother, Pastor Shepherd,

made me feel that God wanted me.

- You know I used to be on the
other side of that gate, man.

I was on crack, coke, any
drug you could think of, man.

Pastor Shepherd, he
opened his doors for me.

And if he never did that, I
don't know where I'd be, man.

- And I'm not longer an alcoholic.

- Me and my wife, we've
restored our marriage.

- I rebuilt a relationship with my kids.

- And I got off of heroin.

- Wait!
- No, you wait!

We love Pastor Shepherd!

We love Pastor Shepherd!
(congregation applauds)

- Do you know he burned down a church?

He married a prostitute,

and he has brought shame to this church!

- Shut up, Doris!
(congregation gasps)

Now, I've been sick and
tired of hearing your voice

for the last 20 damn years.

All you've been doin' is
passin' judgment on people,

and it don't make no sense.

Y'all got so much to say about our pastor.

Y'all need to open your bibles.

'Cause in the Bible, it says,

"He without sin cast the first stone."

(congregation murmurs)

Christ means love!

- [Congregation] Yes.

- The church ought to
be about savin' souls,

not condemning people and
judging people all the time!

So, since we're judging people, Doris,

let's talk about your dirt.

And what about them lottery tickets

that fell out your purse
about two years ago?

And I'm sure y'all don't
know about the $10,000

that Doris stole from the building fund.

(congregation murmurs)

She took $10,000 to remodel
her kitchen in her new condo.

You thought I didn't know
about that, didn't you, Doris?

And I might have one
eye, but I see everything

that goes in here and I
just don't say nothin'.

I try to mind my business
and stay in my lane!

But I promise y'all...

I promise y'all, today
I'm gonna tell it all.

- [Congregation] Tell it.

- Elder Johnson.

And Mother Mildred.

Let's talk about that affair
y'all had back in '98.

(congregation gasps)

And both of y'all are married.

And your husband and his wife
still go to this damn church!

And you got the nerve to stand up there,

and pass judgment on our pastor!

And Elder Roberts.

You got your nerve.

Keepin' all those empty
bottles in your office,

tellin' everybody on the
staff that it's water.

And you and me know
damn well it's tequila.

(congregation gasps)

And Deacon Frank.

I swear before God, Deacon Frank.

You're really breakin' my heart,

to stand up there and
pass judgment on anybody.

Did any of y'all know,
in this congregation,

that Deacon Frank is a
registered sex offender?

(congregation gasps)

All of y'all got the
nerve to pass judgment.

The first thing you need to
pass is judgment on yourselves.

I love this church.

I never thought I'd see it come to this.

This church should be about forgiveness,

and all we do is pass judgment.

Well, I for one, I stand
behind Pastor Shepherd.

- [Congregation] Yes.

- He's a good pastor.

- [Congregation] Yes!

- I say come by here, Lord.

- [Congregation] Come on, Lord.

- Come by here, Lord.

♪ Come by here, Lord ♪

♪ Come by here ♪
- Come on, y'all!

Stop passin' judgment and be

Ginger, you in there, baby?

Come on now, open up,
I know you're in there.

Ginger!
(knocks)

(melancholic music)
(muffled chatter)

(muffled chatter)

- Hey, Juju, Juju, hey.

Thank God, man, I need you.

- Oh, Pastor, what you doin' around here?

- Man, look, I can't
find Ginger nowhere, man.

Have you seen her?

- Nah, I ain't seen her, but (chuckles)

I heard you burned down a church.

That's some real stuff right there.

- Look, man, forget about
all that, all right?

I can't find my wife nowhere.

I think she went back to this
dude named Wolf, you know him?

- Yeah, but why?

- I just need to find him, all right?

I know she went back
to him, I know she did.

- Look, (chuckles) Pastor,
I don't think you get it.

Wolf, he's a real gangster, a killer.

You won't survive.

- Juju, I don't care
about all that, all right?

Can you just point me
in the right direction

to where he stay at?

- Look, man, I don't want no part of this.

I don't want nothin' to do--

- I'll pay you.
- How much?

- I got $20 right here.

- I don't know, $20, Pastor,
make it 23 and you got a deal.

- You got it, man, here.

- Just go straight down that
alley, it's right down there.

All right, good luck.
- Man, where you goin'?

You're coming with me.

- You said show you and I showed you.

- Come on, Juju!
- That's gonna be another $17.

- You want more money?
- I'm risking my life!

- Man, come on, it's for my wife, please.

- All right, man, follow me.

(suspenseful music)

Real strong, brother.

Is you a wrestler or somethin'?

Oh, I'm here to see Wolf.

- What you need with Wolf, bro?

- I just gotta chop it up with him

'bout somethin' real quick, all right?

- Yo, Wolf!

- [Wolf] What up, Slim?

- Need to chop it up
with you 'bout somethin'.

- Juju, what up?

- Wolf! (chuckles)

How you doin', man?

Oh, she fine, uh...

This is my friend and he
was wonderin' if you could--

- Man, what y'all want, man?

- Have his, um, look, I ain't
have nothin' to do with this.

So you know, look, look.

Wolf, Leo, Leo, Wolf.

This is all Leo's idea.

- What you need, man?

- Hey, look, man, I'm
lookin' for my wife, Gigi.

Have you seen her?

- Nah, I ain't seen her.

- Come on, I know you know
where she at, all right?

Please--

- I said I don't know where she's at, man.

Now I'm gonna need you
get up off my property.

- Man, what you want, more money?

Come on now, just tell me how much--

- Nobody want your money, man!

- Come on, she my wife, bro, please.

(Wolf chuckles)

It's all right, I don't want no trouble.

- I don't care nothin' about who she is.

- That's fine.

- I'm gonna need you to
get up off my property.

- Like you said.
- Yeah.

ASAP.

- [Ginger] Wolf.

- Is there somethin' you wanna tell me?

- Yes.

- Yeah, I know your little
friend came lookin' for you.

You need to keep your people
away from here, are you crazy?

You're makin' my spot hot.
- Wolf, stop.

All right, there's
somethin' you gotta know.

- What?

- I had your baby.

- I ain't got no baby by you.

I would never have a baby by you.

- You know what you did.

- [Wolf] That baby ain't
got nothin' to do with me,

and I ain't got nothin'
to do with that baby.

- Wolf, it's your son, it's your baby.

- What did I say, huh?

I said, I ain't got no baby by you.

Fellas.

- What's up?
- What's good, man?

- She crazy.

I don't trust her.

I think she's tryin' to set us up.

- [Goon] Say the word.

- (sobs) I've loved that
woman with every inch of me.

And I've prayed and believed, God, but...

But when will it stop?

When will it stop?

- Hosea.

You see, Pastor.

Hosea was one of God's
most faithful servants.

And God told Hosea,

to go and love the harlot Gomer.

God said he wanted to show
Israel how much he loved them.

So, God commanded Hosea
to love this woman,

this sinful woman, to love
her through all of it.

You understand?

When she left him...

He loved her.

When she disobeyed him...

He loved her.

And even when she cheated on him...

He loved her.

The church is not perfect.

But God love the church unconditionally.

- They done judge me,
and they've judged her.

- Stop feelin' sorry for yourself!

If God had a devil in heaven,

what makes you think there
won't be devils around you?

- What if she does it again?

- So what?

You love her again.

And again and again and again.

Do you understand me?

That's what unconditional love is.

You'll never stop lovin'.

Now, you go find her, Leo.

Go find her.

(moody piano music)

- I know you don't want
anything to do with me.

And I know you're done with me.

But Leo, I just wanted to
come and say I'm sorry.

- Ginger.

- I never even knew that
a love like this existed.

I'm broken.

And you didn't deserve any of it.

And I know, I know
nobody will ever love me,

the way that you did. (sobs)

- Do.

You mean that you never
had anyone else love you...

Like the way I do.

You know, I guess we've both been

fallin' off our bikes in life.

But God, he just, he just
kept givin' us more bikes.

So, I guess we got no
choice but to keep ridin'.

Ginger, I will love you
until my last breath.

And even then, I'll never stop.

- Leo, I love you.

I love you.

- Just, just promise me one more thing.

That you'll never be
naked for anyone else.

Except for God.

And me.

(chuckles)

(gun fires)

(dull thud)

(gun fires)

(somber atmospheric music)

(Ginger screams)

- Help!

Help!

- 15 years ago,

I was addicted to drugs.

But grace found me.

15 years ago, I was an active prostitute.

But grace...

Found me.

Grace found me, beaten and bloodied.

Grace found me naked in motel rooms.

Grace found me prostituting in cars.

Grace found me overdosed
on a bathroom floor.

Grace covered me and shielded me

from a bullet that was meant to kill me.

So, if grace can find me, a drug addict,

if grace can find me, a prostitute,

if grace can find me, an adulterer,

if grace can find a sinner like
me, then grace can find you!

Because of God's love, I've been redeemed.

So, let the redeemed of the Lord say--

- [Congregation] Soul!

- Hey, Jackson.

You look good, man.

They tell me you're doin' good in school.

I wanna say I appreciate
you coming to see me.

It mean a lot.

- Look, man, I...

I just wanted to let you
know that I forgive you.

I forgive you for killing my father.
