[cattle mooing]

You let them wander out
on Turley's Quarry now?

For a few years. Since our
water haul reduced by half.

Yeah. She's still mean as ever?

Martha Windstone mean?

Don't you remember when
she caught Janet and I

swimming in the water hole?

No. No. What happened?

Well, she put us to work.

Spent the whole afternoon
cleaning out her shed.

She forgot to tell us
that she had hornets.

[chuckling] Now that,
that sounds like Martha.

Yeah, we were so late coming
back to do our chores.

You were steaming mad.

Yeah, well, it served you right.

She warned you two often enough.

Come on, you can't keep
two kids out of a quarry

on a hot summer day.

You all right, dad?

Yeah. I'm sore. I'm
sore, but I'm all right.

And I am going to get back
out on this land when I want.

No matter what Dr. Randall says.

The doctor says you
need to be resting.

Ah, you know doctors.

Well, look at that.

That's nature's finest
nuisance right there.

[James] Is that wolf or coyote?

[Willis] Uh, definitely a wolf.

Looks like it's
out on its own.

They're not usually a real
threat to the cattle, are they?

Well, not directly,

but they can stir up
a heap of trouble

with the livestock
and the dogs.

And then they start
running in a pack.

That's when your
problem really grows.

Come on, let's get these
cattle back to the pastures.

? [music]

?

? It won't come
easy living hard ?

? Giving it up

? You know you can't
outsource a dream ?

?

? And when that
darkness makes it ?

? Too hard to pull yourself up

? Brother you got a weight
you can lay it on me ?

?

[Janet] Anyway, I've been
meaning to tell you

what a game changer it's been
having you at the clinic.

I mean, we desperately
needed another pair of hands.

And with your
specialty training,

we're sending far fewer
patients into the city now.

You better stop

because all this is
really going to my head.

That's just it, Dr. Humble.

You're helping so much and
just happy to do the work.

I like Crossroad Springs.

It's an interesting town
with interesting people.

Oh yeah.

It's a nice community,
that's all I'm saying.

Mm.

No, the, um, the team
at the clinic is great.

You know, everyone really
has each other's backs.

When I was at Cedar Rock,

Dr. Charles definitely instilled
the importance of team in me.

She'd always say, you don't
have to be hero all alone.

Rely on the people
on your shift.

That's great advice. But not
all doctors are like that.

There's a lot of stubbornness.

Speaking of stubborn, how's
it going with my dad?

Oh yeah. I wanted to
ask you about that.

He missed his follow up.

Shocker.

Yeah, I don�t know if he was
too busy or just forgot.

Probably both.

Anyway, I got his results.

Can you share them with me?

Well, do you have medical
power of attorney?

No. But I'm his daughter.
That should count for something.

This is awkward.

I'm sorry, Janet.

I don't want to betray
his confidence.

And no offense, he
seemed pretty happy

that you weren't going to
be his primary anymore.

Fine. But promise me something.

When I grill him
on what happened,

you'll verify whether or not
he's telling me the truth.

Like a tell?

Just look at your watch
and then I'll know.

Hmm. We'll see what he says.

I'm not promising anything.

I'll take that as a yes.

Every time I get into
these interviews,

it's like they're always
asking for more experience,

more years on the job.

[cattle mooing]

[Willis] You know,

when I was a kid one winter,
our main pipe burst.

We had no water.

I had to go down to the river
with a couple of buckets.

You could drink water right
out of the river back then,

no filter required.

[to horse]
That a girl.

[horse nickers]

That was the first time I
ever saw a wolf up close.

Really? What happened?

Uh, it was wild.

The wolf just looking
right at me, and I froze.

It was just staring me down
with those steely eyes and...

[horse snorts and whinnies]

She didn't come after you?

Nope. She did not.

I, I held my ground

and then it felt like she
was almost smiling at me.

And that's when I realized

the more you understand
the wildlife out here,

the more you realize that all
creatures have their purpose.

And I've always tried to
run this ranch that way.

I, I give the predators
the respect and,

and the space that
they're intended to have.

That's God's will.

I guess.

[bell rings]

Well, the day's not over.

[horse neighs]

One more for the girl.

[dinner bell ringing]

[Aunt Amy] Hey Sherry,
are those two back?

Yeah. And they might even
be on time for supper.

How did Willis do on his horse?

You know him.
He's not saying much,

but he did ask to take out
one of the older mares.

His way of taking
it easy, I guess

You know your brother too well.

So you need experience
to get the job,

but the job to
get experience.

Exactly. It's a catch 22.

Well, I think it should count

that you have such
a great attitude.

If only we could pay our rent
with our positive outlook.

You're going to get this one.
I just know it.

I have the greatest
wife in the world.

Well, you're going to nail it.
I believe in you.

Wish me luck.

No, you don't need luck.

God's on your side and
he has a plan for us.

That he does.

[cattle mooing]

[dog barking]

[James strumming guitar]

Hey, you.

Hey.

It's real peaceful
in here, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

It's a bit rustic,
but it's got good vibes.

What do you got there?

It's for you.

It's the Saunders' family bible.

Like Grandpa Saunders' bible?

The one he'd read to us when
we were kids at Christmas?

And Easter.

And your mom had it out every

Sunday when you were growing up.

Wow.

Been in your mother's
family for generations.

Feels only right that
you are the keeper of it.

Thank you. Thank you.
That means a lot.

I was thinking we should get
some proper chairs in here.

What do you think?

What are you saying?
I'm too good for this hay bale?

[laughs] No, it's
just a bit scratchy.

Yes, it is.

I was thinking about hanging
the guitar right there.

[Aunt Amy] Look at you
getting comfortable.

It's just a quiet place
for me to make some noise.

That's all.

Yeah, I like it in here too.

There's something about the
way the light filters in.

The sunbeams.

Mm-hmm.

I know exactly what you mean.

I feel at peace.

[takes a deep breath]

Why don't we shake
it up a little bit?

Oh, okay.

For old time sake.

Okay. Sure. What'd
you have in mind?

[strums chords on guitar]

Oh, James, it's
been a long time.

You remember it?

[laughs] Of course.

You go first.

? [James plays guitar]

Okay.

?

? Wade in the water

? Wade in the water, children

? But wade in the water

? 'Cause God's going to
trouble those waters ?

[James] Take it over, Aunt Amy.

? See that child all
dressed in red ?

? But wade in the
waters, children ?

? Must be the children
that Moses led ?

? Because God's gonna
trouble those waters ?

? Wade, in the water

? Wade in the waters, children

? Wade in the waters

? 'Cause God's going to
trouble those waters ?

[cattle bellowing]

That's it.

Thanks for putting the
feed out in the horse barn.

Yeah, of course.

You seem to be settling in,
finding your rhythm.

Tell that to my muscles.
My entire body hurts.

Okay. I know it's
just temporary,

but what you're doing is
really making a difference.

Really? Because it feels like

it's just a drop in the bucket.

You don't get a bucket of
water without a lot of drops.

That's actually really profound.

I might use that for
one of my sermons.

Be my guest.

[engine stops]

How's the herd looking today?

Why don't you mind
your own herd?

[chuckles]

Okay.

[Daniel] Thought you were
heading back to the city,

Pastor.

Thought it might be
nice to stick around

a little bit longer.

I'm sure your father
would appreciate that.

Hey, Newman. Newman.

Yeah?

I should mention we saw
wolf tracks earlier.

No kidding?

Yeah, so you may want to
take some precautions.

I like to take action.

[engine starts]

[James] Dear Heavenly Father,

thank you for the
nourishment before us

a gift of your provision.

And thank you for
this beautiful day

and giving us the
strength to get through it

with grace.

In your name,

Amen.

- Amen.
- Amen.

So Amy,

you better lock up the hen
house extra tight tonight.

There's a wolf around.

Oh, will do. Let�s hope he
is just passing through.

[James] Fingers crossed.

Oh, I did see Daniel
at the fence line.

I told him there
was a wolf about.

Hmmm.

Dad, he is still our neighbor.

All the ranchers along the
ridgeline deserve to know.

It's a shared concern.

Now son, I know what
you're thinking,

that you have to love thy
neighbor, but I'm telling you,

and the Lord above would agree,
the Newmans are no good.

Aunt Amy, do you
agree with this?

Well, it's no secret,

I'm not a fan of the Newmans,
but everyone deserves to know.

But I get why you're hesitant.

The last time your father told
the Newmans about a wolf,

they...

[Aunt Amy] Well, let's
change the topic.

How's it going with Martha

in the right of way
for the water quarry?

Well, don't you mind about her.

Me and Martha have a
years long understanding.

You think you have her wrapped

around your little
finger, don't you?

I'll figure it out.

Oh, Dad.

And you will also follow
up with Dr. Randall.

He told Janet you missed
your appointment.

Snitch.

You can't keep skipping these.

It's a bother. I already
took all the tests.

And now he wants to talk
to you about the results.

It's never good when
they want to talk.

[Janet] Everything looks
on track with the baby.

The growth rate is right
where it should be.

Heartbeat strong.

[Tina] Oh, so cool to
hear the heartbeat.

Look at the tiny little toes.

Yeah.

I'll give you a moment.

[squeaky door opens]

[squeaky door closes]

[Maggie] All right. Bye.

James. What a nice surprise.

You just missed
the morning rush.

Call it good timing.

Do you have a few minutes?

I could really use a
coffee and a visit.

Yeah, of course.

Do you want to take
the coffee to go?

It's a beautiful day out.

Sure.

I'm going to pop out for a bit.
You okay? Great.

All yours.

Come on, cowboy.

[squeaky door opens]

[squeaky door closes]

[James] This town has
changed so much.

[Maggie] I know.

I was shocked when I came back.

It does seem like a
lot of the businesses,

they're hanging in there though.

Yeah. Now I know what
that's like firsthand.

Owning a small business means
working 80 hours a week just

so you don't have to work
40 for someone else.

So how's the ranch?

It's good, it's good,
it's nice.

You know, working with my dad,
the whole father son thing,

it's something
he's always wanted.

I'm sure he really
appreciates that,

even if it is just
a short stay.

Look, Mr. Hamilton, I understand
that you're a busy man,

but I think it's time to
slow down a little bit.

Slow down!

You don't know the first
thing about ranching.

There's two speeds, on and off.

I may not know much
about ranching,

but I do know an awful
lot about blood pressure.

I feel fine.

[Eric] I get that these
are just numbers,

but we take them
as warning signs.

Warning signs? [scoffs]

All you're saying is that
there's nothing wrong with me.

What I'm saying is if
we pay attention now,

we can prevent any serious
issues from happening.

I'm prescribing some medication
for blood pressure.

I don't need it.
I feel fine.

Look...

I can't force you
to take these pills,

but I know you are
a man of faith.

And?

And, the Bible encourages
wise and attentive care

for one's health, including
noticing the signs

and actually doing
something about them.

You hear that from my son,
the pastor?

No, I, uh, I hear that
from my own pastor, sir.

Fair enough. I hear you.

But I think you should
be focusing on my trust,

talking to my
daughter about me.

No, I would never give
your daughter any details

without your consent, sir.

That may be the case.

But you told her I
missed my appointment.

I, I...

It won't happen again, sir.

Fine.

[knocking]

Hey, how's your day going?

Good.

Having a fun morning.

Cutest couple with
a baby on the way.

Oh, it's great when we have
good news appointments, huh?

Speaking of appointments,
how'd it go?

Seem like he might
take my advice.

I'll talk to him.
Don't worry.

I appreciate that.
But I, I...

I need to gain back his trust.

So if it's okay,

I'll just keep you updated
as a concerned daughter.

As a concerned daughter?

I know that my father
is incorrigible.

He's got all his favorite
tactics lined up.

Skip appointments, ignore
advice, forget prescriptions.

Know what? I need to
give him a chance,

at least, you know, show me
himself what he's going to do.

Okay. I get it.

Got to jet.

I know what might help though.

What's that?

If you came to dinner
at the ranch one night.

How would that, um, help?

You know, breaking bread
with a grumpy old patient.

It might soften him up a bit.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

I'm in.

[Aunt Amy] Well, he gave
me a prescription to fill,

but I had to make him do it.

I've never seen a
man so reluctant.

As long as he's
letting you fill it,

let's take it as a win.

[Aunt Amy] Well, I suppose.

Anyway, I think it's
a really good sign

that James is staying past
his expected departure,

don't you?

Yeah, I wouldn't read
too much into that.

Well, I know, I just, I just
think he's enjoying it more

than he lets on, that's all.

No, I agree. I just don't
want you getting your hopes up

that he's gonna solve all
the ranch's problems.

Well, speaking of that,
the accountants coming

by on Monday to talk
turkey about our books.

Any chance you can be
here for that meeting?

Sure. I'll be there.

Oh, and I invited Dr. Randall
for a family dinner.

Uh, when?

One night when we have a
lighter load here at the clinic.

Okay, well I'll get
a few things in

and uh, we'll just
play it by ear.

Thanks.

[disconnects]

Huh.

[Nathan] I saw Newman out
there with a shotgun.

Oh yeah.

It's not legal to shoot
wolves in this state.

I'm sure he knows that.

Oh, maybe it's not
wolves he's going after.

Shouldn't assume he is aiming
to break the law, Nathan.

[Nathan scoffs]

Whatever you say, but
let me tell you,

they always take the easy way
out on that side of the fence.

Let's just focus on the plan.
Run the perimeter.

[Nathan] You got it.

James, it is such a blessing
to have you taking over

some of the day to day here.

Taking over?

Let's not get carried away.

Don't worry, Dad.

No one�s saying you�re hanging
up your hat.

No one except my new
doctor, if he had his way.

Eric said that.

Yes, Eric. Slow down, he says,
cut out red meat, he says.

Who would even say that
to a cattle rancher?

That's not the worst idea.

So you get the herd up close
to the barn like I told you?

Yeah, we know the routine, Dad.

[James] We got it taken care of.

Also, Nathan and I, we
went ahead and reinforced

the hen house in case that
wolf comes back around.

That means more money
on chicken wire.

Just thought it was a
good idea for the ranch.

Don't tell me how
to run the ranch.

I'm not, I'm not.

You know, it wouldn't
hurt for you to show

just a little appreciation.

I have been working very
hard all afternoon,

Working hard?

I'm the one that's here
doing it every day.

I know what it takes.

If rolling out a little chicken
wire is hard work for you, then

Then, what?

Hey, stop it!

Willis, if you could
hear yourself right now

riding your son like that,
you're gonna drive him away.

That's fine with me.

If he goes, you made that clear
with his decisions years ago.

Now why would you say
something like that?

You know, if Marianne
was here, she...

Well, Marianne's
not here, is she?

You can serve yourselves pie.
I'm not hungry anymore.

Dad, she's trying to help.

[door closes]

[cattle mooing]

[quiet knocking]

Can we talk?

Yeah, of course.

Everyone's always welcome here.

Just about to head into
town, but before I go,

got inspired to clean
up the place a bit.

Something on your mind?

Well, Ms. Amy said you were
only staying a few weeks

and now it's been a
few more settling in.

I guess, I just want to know,

are you gonna take
over the ranch

should anything happen
to Willis, God forbid.

Well...

And I know it's
not my business,

so you don't have to
tell me, that's okay.

It's just I'm wondering
about my future, you know,

and since Rick left,

I'm wondering if my
days are numbered too.

Well, no one's thinking
about laying you off,

if that's what you're
worried about.

I can guarantee you that.

I have to apologize.

I�m, I�m, I�m sorry Sherry,
we haven�t really been

communicating
with you, Nathan

and the other ranch hands.

I'm sorry if we've given you
any kind of question or doubt

or uncertainty about the future.

You don't know how happy
I am to hear that.

Thanks James.

Of course. Anytime.

[spraying sounds]

[spraying sounds]

Well a girl could
get used to this.

I just figured it's one less
job you have to worry about.

Yeah, well, it's pretty low
on my list of priorities.

Yeah, but you hear that?
nothing, smooth as silk.

Thank you.

But I doubt you came all
this way just for that.

No, actually I was on my
way to the hardware store.

Oh, you want some company?

Yeah. Yeah, I'd love some.

[Maggie] So, how's cowboy life?

Calluses and sunburns.
Can't beat it.

[Maggie laughs]

How's Miss Amy doing?

She's doing okay.

She's holding a lot on
her shoulders right now.

I mean, she and my dad, they've
been working side by side

ever since Mom passed.

But I think she's got her
fair share of frustrations

with ranch life right now.

Makes sense. I mean, I don't
know if I could handle

working with my
brothers at the cafe.

I know the Lord says
to live in harmony,

but I also know my limits.

It's easier said than done.

I think she's feeling
under appreciated too.

Maybe she just needs
someone to talk to.

You've got some
experience with that.

Yeah, sure.

I guess I'm still trying to
figure out how all my training

as a pastor really
fits into all this.

You know, family, and the ranch.

I'm sure with such a short visit

you're probably worried
to give advice and run.

Well, I wasn't, but I am now.

[Maggie laughs]

I'm just saying, you're a
very compassionate person

and I know you're
going to find solutions

to all these challenges
on the ranch,

but that's going to require you
putting in some serious time.

Yeah, there's just so
many reasons to go.

Equally, same amount to stay.

The answer's going to come.
They always do.

[chickens squawking]

[Nathan] This ought to do it.

[James] Yeah, that
makes 10 total.

[Nathan] We used to
go as high as 20,

but uh, they're eating
pretty good in the pastures

and I don't see a
lot of bunching.

Good morning, Miss Amy.

Good morning.

Well good news. Thanks to
your additional fencing,

the hens are safe and sound.

That's a relief.

When I was at the cafe,

Joel Reynolds said they saw the
wolf out near Ironwood Ranch.

Well that's not that far away.

No, that's closer than the
tracks are that we found.

I'm going to bring it up at the
Ranchers' Association meeting.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Okay, well I'm heading
back to the house.

Uh, lunch is in an hour.

Thank you.

[James] Hey Nathan,
don't go anywhere.

I just got a quick
question for you.

In your opinion, how's
my dad doing, really?

Your dad?

Yeah, just he's getting older

and with Rick gone, with Mom
gone, running the ranch.

I'm worried about him.

I just don't want
to talk out of turn.

Willis is the best
employer I've ever had.

Now anything you say it
stays between you and me.

It doesn't go any
further than right here.

I'm just asking out of concern.

I'm his son.

I have noticed he can't always
keep up the way he used to.

Don't get me wrong, he still
does the work of three men but.

Yeah.

I can tell his age
is taken its toll.

He's uh, he's proud
though, you know,

he hides it and, and I
don't want to ask about it.

It is my hope that
they'll see sense

and uh, start looking
for a few more hands.

All right. Yeah, I understand.

Thank you for your honesty.
I appreciate it.

If there's anything I can do,

I'm here for you,
for all the Hamiltons.

Thank you.

[Mason] All in favor of
sponsoring the youth club's

after school programs
through next year.

Those against.

The ayes have it.
Funding allocated.

Next order of business,
the small ranchers' lobby

to keep the distributor's
minimum at 500 head.

What's this mean?

They want to raise
the minimum to 750

for us to get beef
distribution.

750 for distribution.
That's not fair.

[Mason] No sir, it's not.

And that's the official
position of the association.

In fact, we still have a seat

to fill on the lobby committee.

What's your name, sir?

James Hamilton.

[Mason] Ah, Willis' son.
Welcome, James.

Maybe you'd like to sit
on the lobby committee?

Oh. Um...

[Mason] Seemed all
fired up about it.

Right, but it's none of
my business. I don't...

James is just
visiting from Chicago.

Ah, I see. Well, then
we'll give you a pass.

I'll do it, Mason.

[Mason] Thanks, Tucker.

Note for the record that
Tucker Barrett has volunteered

for the small ranchers'
lobby committee.

This brings us to everyone's
favorite part of the night,

new business.

Amy Hamilton, floor is yours.

Thanks.

Hi everyone.

It looks like there has
been a wolf sighting nearby.

So at this point we don't
know if it's a lone wolf

or if it's a pack of wolves.

Actually my brother saw
it running the ridge.

We're keeping the herd
close to the barn.

Maybe, maybe you all
want to do the same.

I sure know what
I'd like to do about it.

Pow! Woohoo! [Daniel laughs]

Well, we all know
how the Newmans

like to take care of
business, right?

Thanks.

All right, I'll bite.

What's that supposed to mean?

Let's keep civil please.

[Daniel] Feeling
pretty civil, Mason.

How about you, Amy.

You feeling civil?

Yeah, I...

[Willis] It means that you are
quick to use might over right.

You Newmans always are.

[Daniel] The back row speaks.

Yeah, I like to get stuff done.

What are you saying,
that I'm heavy handed?

No, I'm just saying
like father, like son.

[chair topples]

You want to take this
discussion outside?

I'm right here.

[Daniel] What exactly
do you have to say

about my dead father?

Hey, please let's...

I know how to talk
to the Newmans, son.

It's all right.

Oh, do you?

You know what?
My father was a good man.

You don't have any
right to speak of him.

We've shared a fence line
for a hundred years.

And I can see that your side

doesn't always
abide by the rules.

Yeah, well, if a wolf
comes on my property,

I have every right in the
world to pick a fight with it.

Don't I?

One which I will win.

That wolf has just as much
right to this land as we do.

You hunt to feed
your family, Daniel.

Not out of the darkness
of your heart.

Let's just step back, Dad.

Okay, Willis. Just leave it.

[gavel pounding]

Folks, if there's no
more new business.

can we call it a close

so we can lower the
temperature in here?

[Mason] Can I get a
second on the motion?

Second for close.

We're adjourned.
[pounds the gavel]

Hello.

I'm really looking forward
to this home cooked meal.

Aunt Amy makes the most
delicious dinners.

And if you're lucky,
there will be pie.

- Pie?
- Mm-hmm.

Mm mm, now that's what
I'm talking about.

Unless it's Ranchers'
Association meeting night.

Oh.

Forgot about that.

[door opens and closes]

It's no worries.

Perfect timing!

Janet, Dr. Randall.

Amy, James.

Eric.

Where's Dad?

Uh, he's at the
Lone Star in town.

Tucker's going to
get him home safely.

Daniel and Dad had
words at the meeting.

The wolf sighting has
everyone up in arms.

Yeah, especially Daniel.

I was only trying to
do the right thing

and let all the
other ranchers know.

[Aunt Amy] And now I feel
like I've made a mess.

I, I thought tonight
might be a good night

to bring Eric home
for dinner...

Or not.

But I, I shouldn't have
just popped in like this.

We can just grab some takeout.

Yeah, takeout's fine.

No, no, no, no, no. Don�t be rid

You're you're always welcome.

Uh, I just, I haven't had
a chance to cook yet, so,

uh, sandwiches?

I love sandwiches.

I need to go wash up.

All right.

Aunt Amy, how can I help?

Uh, you can't, it's, it's good.

Why don't you go sit down?

Eric and I can make the sandwich

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'm so sorry.

I don't know what's going
on with my family tonight.

Every family has
their moments.

It's fine.

[door opens and closes]

Okay, so what do we got?

Quite the family dinner.

Dad's gone AWOL and Aunt Amy
just split out the back door.

She did?

Mm-hmm.

Still hungry?

Starving.

I�ll get the sweet tea.

[James reading]
Carry each other's burdens.

And in this way you will
fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians chapter six,
verse two.

I know the weight of everything

feels really
immense right now.

The worry for Dad and the
uncertainty of the ranch,

it's a heavy load.

It is.

You can, you can hold
onto this truth, Aunt Amy.

The love that binds
this family together,

it's a force stronger
than any storm.

And I promise to
share these burdens,

not to let anyone
carry it alone.

It'll see us through, it will.

I think I lost track
of that myself today.

We have to trust,

we have to trust that
God's hand is in this,

even if we can't
see the path ahead.

But that he's got a
plan for each of us,

for all of us.

I just...
[sniffles and sobs]

I love my
brother so much

and he pushes so hard.

I know. I see it too. I know.

[big sigh]

[chickens clucking]

Hey Michael.

Yeah, it's James.

[Michael] Well, hello, hello.

I just had you in mind to
give you a call and catch up.

Well, it looks like
I beat you to it.

Yeah, you certainly did.

[Michael laughs]

Well, listen, I'm not calling
for any particular reason.

I just wanted to check in,
see how things are going.

Oh, things are great. Yeah.
Congregation misses you.

How are things out
there with you?

[horse whinnies]

To be honest, uh,

I'm struggling here
at Crossroad Springs.

Oh, well, um, I'm listening.

I feel like I'm losing
my way, Michael.

Okay. I'm here for you, buddy.
What is it?

I mean, I'm, I'm practicing
daily. My faith is strong.

I'm just having a hard time
balancing the needs of my family

with the weekly
duties of the church.

It's just, I'm not
serving my community.

Well, listen, if you're
talking about the duties here

at the church here,
it's been pretty light.

So please rest assured,
if you need any more time,

you should certainly take it.

Well, thank you.
That is reassuring.

It's just hard because

I don't feel like I
have my footing here.

Back in Chicago,

I'm not there for the people
who've grown to rely on me.

I just feel like I'm
letting everybody down.

Hmm.

Look, when God calls,
he doesn't always demand

that we reject one
love for another.

But he does ask that
our heart be undivided.

Whether it's in the tension
between career and family

or the ministry and home life,
tradition and transformation.

It's hard when sometimes he
asks us to walk a straight line

between two sacred places.

Maybe, I don't want
to presume here,

but God's asking you to decide
what place do you think

or feel that you could
be the most service

right here, right now?

Well, if I could spend
a few more weeks here,

help them come up
with solutions,

get the ranch
back on its feet.

Then I could return focus on
my weekly duties at the church

and have a clear head
and a clear heart.

Well, one foot in
front of the other.

[James] One foot in
front of the other.

Thank you, Michael.

I really appreciate this. I see

[Michael] Reach out anytime.

? Come thou Fount
of every blessing ?

? Tune my heart to
sing thy grace ?

? Streams of mercy

? Never ceasing

? Call for songs
of loudest praise ?

? Teach me some
melodious sonnet ?

? Sung by flaming
tongues above ?

? Praise the mount
I'm fixed upon it ?

? Mount of thy redeeming love

?
