Excuse me for a second.
Reverend Sherman.

Thank you.

Lord's work is never done.
181
00:08:35,515 --> 00:08:36,864
- Speaking of the Lord's work--
182
00:08:36,907 --> 00:08:38,561
it's been a minute since
I was an altar boy,
183
00:08:38,605 --> 00:08:42,609
but why would Emily think
career advice
184
00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:44,872
is something
that's in your portfolio?
185
00:08:44,915 --> 00:08:49,180
- The success of our flock
glorifies God,
186
00:08:49,224 --> 00:08:51,922
so part of our work is to
guide them to milk and honey.
187
00:08:51,966 --> 00:08:55,012
As Jesus said,
"I came that they may have life
188
00:08:55,056 --> 00:08:56,753
and have it abundantly."
189
00:08:56,797 --> 00:08:58,625
- And that's your thing?
Abundance?
190
00:08:58,668 --> 00:09:02,803
- Yes. My congregation
is very generous.
191
00:09:02,846 --> 00:09:04,761
- Thank you for your time.
- Thank you.
192

if there's any follow-up.
193
00:09:10,462 --> 00:09:13,814
- Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
- Tell me how you really feel.
194
00:09:13,857 --> 00:09:16,294

that fancy, schmancy suit

196
00:09:17,731 --> 00:09:19,994
He's bleeding that
congregation dry.
197
00:09:20,037 --> 00:09:21,648
- It's a little more
complicated than that.
198
00:09:21,691 --> 00:09:24,302
A guy like that--
he takes, but he also gives.
199
00:09:24,346 --> 00:09:26,348
- How so?
200
00:09:26,391 --> 00:09:28,611
- Some of these folks are
having trouble finding a job,
201
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:30,961
paying rent, even harder time
staying positive.
202
00:09:31,005 --> 00:09:32,484
- No different from
any church I know.
203
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:33,703
- Yeah, but Pastor Mike
204
00:09:33,747 --> 00:09:35,400
fills a void for people
who feel hopeless.
205
00:09:35,444 --> 00:09:37,968
He's modeling success
206
00:09:38,012 --> 00:09:39,927
so that his congregation
has something to aspire to.
207
00:09:39,970 --> 00:09:42,538
- Not my idea of religion.
- Not mine either.
208
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:45,236
But religion is whatever
works for you, right?
209
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,848
So some people think
it's the body of Christ
210
00:09:47,891 --> 00:09:49,197
being represented by a wafer.
211
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,678
Some people think
it's ponying up so the pastor
212
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,680
can wear a Rolex.
- I am not buying it.
213
00:09:53,723 --> 00:09:57,031

214
00:09:57,074 --> 00:09:58,554
Prosperity means

poor and Black, Frank.

Emily's foster brother.

See what he knows.
219
00:10:06,823 --> 00:10:09,783
- Emily and I spent five years
in this group home in Canarsie.
220
00:10:09,826 --> 00:10:12,568
The only thing we got out
of that place was each other.
221
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,485
She was my big sis.
222
00:10:16,528 --> 00:10:18,835
- Sorry for your loss, Lonnie.
- Yeah.

two days ago.

When was the last time
you saw her?
226

- I went by her place
about lunch.
227

- Now, would you say that was a
social call or something else?
228
00:10:34,372 --> 00:10:36,157
- I needed her
to float me rent.

- Oh, you were having
money problems?
230

Savings are a little light.
232
00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:46,950

how that conversation might go
233
00:10:46,994 --> 00:10:50,562
between me and my sister if I
was asking her to pay my rent.
234

You guys didn't fight or argue,
did you?
235
00:10:53,478 --> 00:10:56,699
- No, she was happy to do it.
236
00:10:56,743 --> 00:10:59,615
She even had the money wired
to my landlord.
237
