00:00:03,833 --> 00:00:05,125
-  Thanks for calling the Reynolds.

4
00:00:05,125 --> 00:00:06,625
Please leave a message.

00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:09,583
-  Hey there, Zach Reynolds,

8
00:00:09,583 --> 00:00:12,666
this is Pastor Jim of Life House Church.

9
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:17,375
Actually I guess I should say, Pastor Zach Reynolds.

10
00:00:17,416 --> 00:00:18,958
I’m very pleased to let you know

11
00:00:18,958 --> 00:00:20,958
that the board meeting just wrapped,

12
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,583
and they’ve loved your messages on loving your neighbor.

13
00:00:24,583 --> 00:00:27,250
We cannot wait to hear the rest of the series.

14
00:00:27,291 --> 00:00:28,791
You’ve been unanimously selected

15
00:00:28,791 --> 00:00:30,625
for the pastor position, brother.

16
00:00:30,625 --> 00:00:33,625
So say goodbye to that boring West Coast.

17
00:00:33,666 --> 00:00:35,208
(laughing)

18
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:37,416
Anyway, welcome to the beautiful Midwest.

19
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:41,125
We’ll see you when you get here, God bless.

20
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:43,708
(gentle music)

21
00:02:25,708 --> 00:02:27,375
-  Welcome home, Reynolds family.

22
00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:29,666
We weren’t expecting you till later tonight.

23
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:30,916
Pastor Zach.

24
00:02:30,916 --> 00:02:31,708
-  Hey, it’s good to see you.

25
00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:32,833
- Good to see you.

26
00:02:32,833 --> 00:02:34,333
Here are the keys.

27
00:02:34,333 --> 00:02:35,666
I was just tidying up a bit.

28
00:02:35,708 --> 00:02:37,416
If you have any issues, just let me know.

29
00:02:37,416 --> 00:02:38,416
- Definitely.

30
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:39,333
- You must be Amber. - Hi.

31
00:02:40,791 --> 00:02:42,958
- Pastor Zach told us so many wonderful things about you.

32
00:02:42,958 --> 00:02:44,125
- Oh, Pastor Zach.

33
00:02:44,125 --> 00:02:45,291
- We just love your book.

34
00:02:45,291 --> 00:02:47,250
We gave a copy to everyone in the church.

35
00:02:47,291 --> 00:02:49,458
Your story, it’s so inspiring.

36
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:50,916
I heard you love to shop.

37
00:02:50,916 --> 00:02:52,250
Have you been downtown yet?

38
00:02:52,250 --> 00:02:54,041
- No, we came right here.

39
00:02:54,041 --> 00:02:56,416
Pastor Zach didn’t wanna make any stops.

40
00:02:56,458 --> 00:02:57,958
All business, I’m telling you.

41
00:02:57,958 --> 00:02:59,041
- What can I say?

42
00:02:59,041 --> 00:03:00,250
- Yours, too.

43
00:03:00,291 --> 00:03:02,208
My husband practically lives at the church,

44
00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:05,041
but that doesn’t have to stop us girls from having any fun.

45
00:03:05,083 --> 00:03:06,416
Do you like shoes?

46
00:03:06,416 --> 00:03:08,083
- Um, love shoes.

47
00:03:08,083 --> 00:03:10,666
- Okay, girl, let me tell you, you’re about to find

48
00:03:10,666 --> 00:03:13,750
your new happy place because Wooded Plains may be small,

49
00:03:13,791 --> 00:03:15,791
but the shops here are amazing.

50
00:03:15,791 --> 00:03:17,250
- Isn’t it perfect?

51
00:03:17,250 --> 00:03:18,333
Didn’t I tell you?

52
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,250
- It’s a dream.

53
00:03:20,291 --> 00:03:23,291
I mean, a beautiful home, peace, quiet,

54
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:26,500
a huge yard for Alex to run around and play,

55
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,875
nothing could go wrong in a place like this.

56
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:32,666
- How about a tour?

57
00:03:34,291 --> 00:03:36,625
- Okay, now is that your house?

58
00:03:36,666 --> 00:03:39,375
- Oh, no, we live down this street here.

59
00:03:39,416 --> 00:03:41,000
- Oh, well, then who lives there?

60
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,208
A potential babysitter?

61
00:03:43,416 --> 00:03:46,041
- Probably not, but we do have plenty

62
00:03:46,041 --> 00:03:48,916
of young eager babysitters at the church.

63
00:03:48,958 --> 00:03:51,291
- I don’t remember anyone coming or going when I was here.

64
00:03:51,291 --> 00:03:52,583
I thought it was vacant.

65
00:03:52,625 --> 00:03:54,458
Does he attend church?

66
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:56,833
- No, he’s actually one of the few people

67
00:03:56,833 --> 00:03:58,375
in town who doesn’t.

68
00:03:58,375 --> 00:04:00,541
Pastor James and I, we’ve been over there several times,

69
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:03,416
but he won’t answer the door.

70
00:04:03,458 --> 00:04:06,583
He’s a little strange, but he’s harmless.

71
00:04:06,583 --> 00:04:08,083
- I’ll stop by and invite him.

72
00:04:08,125 --> 00:04:09,333
I have a way with people.

73
00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:11,666
- Oh, well, I love your confidence.

74
00:04:11,666 --> 00:04:14,500
Maybe you’ll be the one to finally introduce him to God.

75
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:15,583
- I hope so.

76
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:17,083
- Wanna go inside?

77
00:04:18,833 --> 00:04:21,500
(ominous music)

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,583
(gentle music)

79
00:04:36,875 --> 00:04:40,208
- Honey, there’s 14 jets in our tub, eight for your feet.

80
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:42,458
It’s like a masseuse made out of water.

81
00:04:44,041 --> 00:04:45,208
- Hey, what are we gonna do

82
00:04:45,208 --> 00:04:47,166
about getting the neighbor into a service?

83
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:49,375
(chuckles)

84
00:04:55,083 --> 00:04:58,250
- Well, I think the first thing you need to ask yourself

85
00:04:58,291 --> 00:05:00,625
is why is it so important to you?

86
00:05:00,666 --> 00:05:04,166
- Well, it’s important to me because I’m a pastor

87
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:06,625
and it’s a pastor’s job to get people into church.

88
00:05:06,625 --> 00:05:09,958
- Oh, good, I was worried it was a macho ego thing

89
00:05:09,958 --> 00:05:11,375
to impress your boss.

90
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:14,500
- No way, no, no, I’m just being a good Christian neighbor

91
00:05:14,541 --> 00:05:16,708
who likes a little job security.

92
00:05:16,708 --> 00:05:20,041
- Well, by all means, get him saved, Pastor.

93
00:05:20,083 --> 00:05:22,958
I want my grandbabies visiting me in this house.

94
00:05:31,291 --> 00:05:33,375
I got you a little housewarming gift, Pastor.

95
00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:36,416
- Uh, I though you were shoe shopping.

96
00:05:36,458 --> 00:05:38,125
- I’ll be right back.

97
00:05:38,125 --> 00:05:39,125
- I’ll be right here.

98
00:05:43,041 --> 00:05:44,375
- Zach, what is that?

99
00:05:44,416 --> 00:05:46,250
- It’s nothing, it’s nothing, just go get dressed.

100
00:05:46,291 --> 00:05:47,791
- Is that real?

101
00:05:47,833 --> 00:05:49,500
- Yes, of course, it’s real, but you don’t need to worry,

102
00:05:49,541 --> 00:05:50,791
it’s completely safe.

103
00:05:50,791 --> 00:05:52,791
- Obviously, it just fell out of a box.

104
00:05:52,833 --> 00:05:54,291
When did you get that?

105
00:05:54,291 --> 00:05:55,791
- I got it when we lived in the city.

106
00:05:59,291 --> 00:06:01,166
The South Side wasn’t exactly the safest neighborhood

107
00:06:01,208 --> 00:06:03,208
and it’s my job to protect you and Alex.

108
00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:07,041
- Okay, we’re not in South Side anymore.

109
00:06:07,041 --> 00:06:09,208
You’re a pastor, get rid of the gun.

110
00:06:10,416 --> 00:06:13,333
- I don’t know, we are not country people.

111
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,208
I mean, what if we get attacked by a goat.

112
00:06:17,250 --> 00:06:18,666
- (laughs) A goat. - Or a deer.

113
00:06:18,708 --> 00:06:20,875
Or a squirrel or a dog.

114
00:06:22,083 --> 00:06:23,916
- Ha ha, get rid of the gun.

115
00:06:25,625 --> 00:06:26,958
- I will get rid of the gun

116
00:06:28,208 --> 00:06:29,458
if you get rid of those sweatpants.

117
00:06:30,916 --> 00:06:31,750
- Deal. - Deal.

118
00:06:32,916 --> 00:06:35,083
(squeals)

119
00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:47,708
(birds chirping)

120
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:49,958
(knocking)

121
00:07:01,791 --> 00:07:03,291
- Hello, anybody home?

122
00:07:10,791 --> 00:07:11,791
I guess he’s not here, sweetie.

123
00:07:11,833 --> 00:07:13,500
It’s okay, we’ll come back later.

124
00:07:16,250 --> 00:07:18,458
Oh, well, hey there, neighbor.

125
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:21,500
My name is Amber, this is my son, Alex.

126
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:23,666
We just moved in next door.

127
00:07:23,666 --> 00:07:24,500
- Hi.

128
00:07:27,541 --> 00:07:29,041
- I hope you like chocolate chip.

129
00:07:29,083 --> 00:07:30,416
As far as I know, everyone does,

130
00:07:30,458 --> 00:07:32,291
so I thought they’d be a good choice.

131
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:38,750
Oh my goodness, do you have a nut allergy?

132
00:07:38,791 --> 00:07:41,333
I am so sorry, I should have brought fruit.

133
00:07:41,333 --> 00:07:43,333
- No, no, I’ll take them.

134
00:07:44,458 --> 00:07:45,875
- Oh, great, I hope you like them.

135
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,083
- Why did you do this?

136
00:07:49,291 --> 00:07:51,333
- Well, we just moved in next door

137
00:07:51,333 --> 00:07:53,166
and thought it would be a nice way to get out

138
00:07:53,166 --> 00:07:54,333
and meet the neighbors.

139
00:07:56,083 --> 00:07:58,583
- Did your mommy make enough cookies

140
00:07:58,583 --> 00:08:00,708
for everyone on the street?

141
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:02,166
- Nope, just enough for you,

142
00:08:02,208 --> 00:08:05,166
so you can come to our church and not go to hell.

143
00:08:05,166 --> 00:08:06,333
(clears throat)

144
00:08:06,375 --> 00:08:07,833
- Cute kid.

145
00:08:07,833 --> 00:08:12,416
Nothing like a gift with a motive to start a friendship.

146
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:13,625
- That’s not...

147
00:08:13,625 --> 00:08:16,833
Alex, that’s not entirely true.

148
00:08:18,875 --> 00:08:22,250
Of course, we would love for you to come to church,

149
00:08:22,291 --> 00:08:26,291
but we also just want to get to know you, we’re neighbors.

150
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,666
- So your husband’s the new pastor over there.

151
00:08:31,708 --> 00:08:32,583
- Yes, he is.

152
00:08:33,583 --> 00:08:35,541
- I don’t go to church.

153
00:08:35,541 --> 00:08:38,541
Pastors bring me down.

154
00:08:39,916 --> 00:08:42,208
- My husband will do anything but bring you down.

155
00:08:44,916 --> 00:08:47,500
(upbeat music)

156
00:09:12,916 --> 00:09:16,250
(congregation clapping)

157
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:36,375
(laughing)

158
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:37,708
-  God is good.

159
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:38,916
- All the time.

160
00:09:40,375 --> 00:09:44,041
- Firing up 1,000 people for Jesus, changing the world,

161
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:45,958
sitting in a hot tub with my hot wife.

162
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:50,916
Was I right about this place?

163
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:55,250
- It’s perfect, everything here is perfect.

164
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:56,708
- I told you, I told you.

165
00:09:56,708 --> 00:09:58,375
You said, "No, no, no, we’re not living the city

166
00:09:58,416 --> 00:09:59,916
"to move to the country."

167
00:09:59,916 --> 00:10:03,083
And then you came here, and it’s perfect and it’s amazing.

168
00:10:03,125 --> 00:10:04,375
(laughs)

169
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:05,541
And I told you, and I preached a sermon

170
00:10:05,541 --> 00:10:08,125
about how good change is this morning.

171
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:09,666
You should actually check it out.

172
00:10:09,666 --> 00:10:13,416
You can download ’cause I am officially on a podcast.

173
00:10:13,416 --> 00:10:14,916
(laughing)

174
00:10:14,916 --> 00:10:17,583
- Careful there, Pastor Zach, pride comes before the fall.

175
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:18,500
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

176
00:10:18,541 --> 00:10:19,958
This whole town is gonna know

177
00:10:19,958 --> 00:10:23,125
that Pastor Zach and his family have arrived!

178
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:24,000
- Oh, be quiet.

179
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:28,250
(laughing)

180
00:10:28,291 --> 00:10:30,375
- And that’s my first project right next door.

181
00:10:32,416 --> 00:10:34,416
(ominous music)

182
00:10:34,458 --> 00:10:36,458
- He’s not a project, he’s a person.

183
00:10:38,666 --> 00:10:39,833
You get that, right?

184
00:10:39,833 --> 00:10:41,666
- You know what I mean.

185
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,666
(crickets chirping)

186
00:10:54,833 --> 00:10:57,958
(power tool whirring)

187
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,750
Hey, neighbor, I’m Zach Reynolds.

188
00:11:09,791 --> 00:11:11,291
Me and my family just moved next door.

189
00:11:11,291 --> 00:11:13,125
I though I’d come over and say hello.

190
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:17,708
Have you lived in Wooded Plains long?

191
00:11:19,125 --> 00:11:22,625
-  Yes. (power tool whirring)

192
00:11:22,625 --> 00:11:23,583
-  Have you ever been to Life House?

193
00:11:23,583 --> 00:11:24,416
-  No.

194
00:11:25,875 --> 00:11:26,916
- You should come by sometime.

195
00:11:26,916 --> 00:11:28,166
It’s a great place.

196
00:11:28,208 --> 00:11:29,333
I’m actually about to start a sermon series

197
00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:30,625
based on my book.

198
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:31,541
I don’t know if you’ve read it.

199
00:11:31,583 --> 00:11:33,166
It was called "Cutting the Fat."

200
00:11:33,166 --> 00:11:35,875
It’s about identifying the things in life we need to change.

201
00:11:35,916 --> 00:11:37,416
I think it’s really important.

202
00:11:37,416 --> 00:11:39,000
-  Never been there.

203
00:11:41,541 --> 00:11:43,208
- Okay, well, if you ever wanna drop by,

204
00:11:43,208 --> 00:11:45,541
the services are at 9:00 and 11:00,

205
00:11:45,583 --> 00:11:47,625
and let me know if you ever need anything.

206
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:50,583
-  You can send your wife back over

207
00:11:50,625 --> 00:11:51,875
with some more cookies.

208
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,833
- Yeah, she is an amazing chef.

209
00:11:57,208 --> 00:11:58,375
That’s why I married her.

210
00:12:00,166 --> 00:12:03,625
But it does make maintaining this waistline a little harder.

211
00:12:05,958 --> 00:12:07,791
But, yeah, I’ll tell her you enjoyed them.

212
00:12:07,833 --> 00:12:10,708
-  You’re gonna tell her to send me more, right?

213
00:12:12,208 --> 00:12:14,916
You said if I ever needed anything to let you know.

214
00:12:16,541 --> 00:12:18,708
Or was that an empty promise?

215
00:12:19,875 --> 00:12:22,250
- I’ll have her make another batch.

216
00:12:22,291 --> 00:12:23,958
You have a blessed day.

217
00:12:23,958 --> 00:12:26,291
-  Once a week, please.

218
00:12:27,875 --> 00:12:29,625
On Thursdays would be nice.

219
00:12:31,041 --> 00:12:32,791
And I would very much prefer for her

220
00:12:32,791 --> 00:12:35,166
to bring them alone in the future.

221
00:12:35,208 --> 00:12:39,708
Children make me uncomfortable.

222
00:12:42,541 --> 00:12:44,125
- I’ll see what I can do.

223
00:12:45,458 --> 00:12:46,291
-  It was a pleasure getting to know you,

224
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:47,708
Pastor Zach Reynolds.

225
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:52,166
I look forward to getting to know your family much better.

226
00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:58,416
(phone buzzing)

227
00:12:58,458 --> 00:12:59,375
- Hey, sweetie.

228
00:13:01,291 --> 00:13:02,958
I saw you talking to the neighbor.

229
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,458
How’d it go?

230
00:13:04,458 --> 00:13:06,625
- Yeah, it was strange.

231
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:08,083
Hey, listen, I don’t think it’s a good idea

232
00:13:08,083 --> 00:13:11,125
for you or Alex to go over there when I’m not around, okay?

233
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:13,791
- What, why not?

234
00:13:13,791 --> 00:13:15,208
- He just seems a little off.

235
00:13:15,250 --> 00:13:16,750
It’s probably nothing.

236
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:18,833
I just think it’s a good idea to keep our distance

237
00:13:18,833 --> 00:13:20,208
until we know him a little better.

238
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:21,458
- Well, how am I supposed to get to know him

239
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,000
any better if I keep my distance?

240
00:13:23,958 --> 00:13:25,625
- You know what I mean.

241
00:13:25,625 --> 00:13:26,875
- Okay, I love you,

242
00:13:26,875 --> 00:13:28,875
but you sound a little ridiculous right now.

243
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:32,666
I mean, is he strange, yes,

244
00:13:32,708 --> 00:13:35,708
but he’s just lonely and needs some friends,

245
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:38,833
and maybe that’s why God brought us into his life.

246
00:13:38,875 --> 00:13:41,375
- I know, you’re probably right, I just--

247
00:13:41,416 --> 00:13:44,583
- We are called to be a light in this world, Pastor.

248
00:13:44,583 --> 00:13:47,375
If we avoid everyone who makes us a little uncomfortable,

249
00:13:47,375 --> 00:13:49,041
what are we going to illuminate?

250
00:13:49,083 --> 00:13:51,250
- No, you’re right, we will get to know him.

251
00:13:51,291 --> 00:13:54,125
Let’s just go it together initially, okay?

252
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:54,958
- Okay, weirdo.

253
00:13:56,875 --> 00:13:57,666
- I love you.

254
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,416
Hey--oh, and tell Alex that he...

255
00:14:00,416 --> 00:14:02,125
(tires squealing)

256
00:14:02,125 --> 00:14:04,666
(car crashing)

257
00:14:06,666 --> 00:14:09,250
(horn honking)

258
00:14:12,541 --> 00:14:14,666
-  Oh my goodness, sweetie, are you okay?

259
00:14:14,666 --> 00:14:15,875
- Yeah, I’m fine.

260
00:14:17,583 --> 00:14:18,750
- (sighs) Is it broken?

261
00:14:18,791 --> 00:14:20,833
- No, it’s just sprained, thank God.

262
00:14:20,875 --> 00:14:22,083
- What happened?

263
00:14:22,125 --> 00:14:23,916
- Well, the brakes went out on the car.

264
00:14:23,916 --> 00:14:24,833
You almost hit a little kid.

265
00:14:24,833 --> 00:14:26,875
Miraculously, everyone’s okay.

266
00:14:27,833 --> 00:14:30,000
- Oh, thank goodness.

267
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,041
Okay, well, come on, let’s get you home.

268
00:14:32,041 --> 00:14:34,041
- Actually, I was gonna get a ride back to church with Jim,

269
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:35,458
if that’s all right with you?

270
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:38,958
- Hey, I tried, I know,

271
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,708
but this guy’s got preaching on his heart,

272
00:14:40,708 --> 00:14:43,083
and I don’t think an injury’s gonna slow him down.

273
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,375
- Okay, I want you to call me

274
00:14:45,416 --> 00:14:48,583
if you feel any pain or nauseous or dizzy,

275
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:50,916
and make sure he ices it, and don’t get home too late.

276
00:14:50,916 --> 00:14:53,083
- Okay, I won’t, I promise.

277
00:14:53,416 --> 00:14:54,583
- I’ll have him home for dinner.

278
00:14:54,666 --> 00:14:56,500
- You better. - I will, I will.

279
00:15:02,416 --> 00:15:04,833
(bird chirping)

280
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:07,333
(knocking)

281
00:15:08,125 --> 00:15:10,791
(ominous music)

282
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:28,208
- Oh, hey there, neighbor, you startled me.

283
00:15:29,125 --> 00:15:33,333
- Oh, I’m sorry, I was just coming over to return the plate.

284
00:15:34,375 --> 00:15:37,166
Thanks for the cookies, they were delicious.

285
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:38,958
I ate every one of them.

286
00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:42,375
- Oh, well, thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed them.

287
00:15:42,375 --> 00:15:45,375
- Oh, I did, I even asked Pastor Zach

288
00:15:45,375 --> 00:15:48,250
to tell you to bake me some more.

289
00:15:48,291 --> 00:15:50,666
Did he tell you I said that?

290
00:15:50,708 --> 00:15:53,833
- He did not, but I would love to.

291
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:57,833
- Oh, well, I guess Pastor Zach is a busy guy.

292
00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:05,583
That’s a beautiful hot tub.

293
00:16:06,791 --> 00:16:08,833
- I know, right? - Yeah.

294
00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:12,750
- We are so blessed to be in this place.

295
00:16:13,875 --> 00:16:14,833
God is good.

296
00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:18,000
- All the time, right?

297
00:16:19,875 --> 00:16:20,708
- Yeah.

298
00:16:24,708 --> 00:16:28,166
You know, if you ever wanna come hang out

299
00:16:28,166 --> 00:16:30,541
or take a dip in the hot tub, you’re more than welcome to.

300
00:16:30,583 --> 00:16:32,750
I mean, God didn’t bless us with this beautiful place

301
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:34,750
so we can keep it all to ourselves.

302
00:16:34,791 --> 00:16:37,416
- Wow, really? - Absolutely.

303
00:16:37,416 --> 00:16:40,916
- Well, I guess it would be rude of me

304
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:43,666
to turn down your invitation.

305
00:16:46,666 --> 00:16:49,750
I’ve got to say, I’ve never had a neighbor

306
00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:52,125
be so kind to me before.

307
00:16:52,125 --> 00:16:53,333
- You know what?

308
00:16:53,375 --> 00:16:55,375
I was actually just about to head in.

309
00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:57,625
- Oh, really?

310
00:16:57,625 --> 00:16:59,125
Well, that’s sad,

311
00:16:59,125 --> 00:17:02,875
I was kinda hoping to run a few questions by you.

312
00:17:04,833 --> 00:17:05,625
- About what?

313
00:17:07,291 --> 00:17:08,458
- About God.

314
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:16,750
- I guess I could spare a few minutes.

315
00:17:16,791 --> 00:17:17,625
- Great.

316
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:31,583
So Pastor Zach asked me to visit the church this Sunday,

317
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,166
and now I’m feeling all this kind of turmoil inside.

318
00:17:38,333 --> 00:17:42,333
Part of me knows that Christians are rude

319
00:17:42,375 --> 00:17:45,875
and they’re cliquey and they’re judgmental people

320
00:17:45,916 --> 00:17:48,250
who only want to make me feel bad about myself.

321
00:17:52,208 --> 00:17:56,916
But then again, you two have been so gosh darn nice

322
00:17:56,958 --> 00:18:01,625
that I’m almost tempted to give it another shot,

323
00:18:01,625 --> 00:18:04,291
to see if this church is different.

324
00:18:04,291 --> 00:18:05,125
- It really is.

325
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:06,791
You have to, just once.

326
00:18:07,916 --> 00:18:10,208
I mean, everyone’s just gonna love on you.

327
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:12,333
You’ve never met such a great group of people.

328
00:18:15,083 --> 00:18:18,291
- All right, I’ll do it, for you.

329
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:22,833
But if anyone tells me that I’m a horrible person

330
00:18:22,833 --> 00:18:24,333
or that I’m going to hell,

331
00:18:25,958 --> 00:18:27,500
I’m holding you personally responsible

332
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,375
for my crushed spirit.

333
00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,333
- Deal.

334
00:18:33,250 --> 00:18:34,083
- Deal.

335
00:18:42,833 --> 00:18:47,541
You know, huh, it’s true what they say

336
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,916
about a Christian’s eyes.

337
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:52,500
- And what’s that?

338
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:56,333
- Well, they say that when a person sees Jesus,

339
00:19:00,166 --> 00:19:03,708
the eyes become all bright and sparkly.

340
00:19:08,125 --> 00:19:10,125
Your eyes do that.

341
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:12,791
That’s nice.

342
00:19:16,583 --> 00:19:17,625
You’re so beautiful.

343
00:19:19,416 --> 00:19:20,750
- That’s why I married her.

344
00:19:22,166 --> 00:19:24,375
- I thought you married her because she could bake.

345
00:19:25,625 --> 00:19:26,833
-  I married her for a lot of reasons.

346
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:27,666
- I bet.

347
00:19:29,166 --> 00:19:31,458
Your lovely young bride asked me to join her in the hot tub.

348
00:19:31,458 --> 00:19:32,833
I hope you don’t mind.

349
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:35,208
- Why would I mind?

350
00:19:37,791 --> 00:19:38,625
- Exactly.

351
00:19:39,875 --> 00:19:41,208
What happened to your hand?

352
00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:44,666
- I bumped it.

353
00:19:46,083 --> 00:19:47,625
Hey, honey, it’s been a long day, what’s for dinner?

354
00:19:47,625 --> 00:19:49,958
-  Um, I thought I’d make some chili.

355
00:19:49,958 --> 00:19:51,000
Does that sound good?

356
00:19:52,250 --> 00:19:53,416
- Mm, yummy.

357
00:19:55,625 --> 00:19:59,208
- The water’s great, pastor, come on in.

358
00:20:01,916 --> 00:20:03,250
- You know your way home.

359
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:05,833
(door closing)

360
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:16,500
(mail banging)

361
00:20:16,541 --> 00:20:18,041
- Please don’t be angry.

362
00:20:22,750 --> 00:20:24,458
(sighs)

363
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:27,166
(water running)

364
00:20:36,666 --> 00:20:38,416
-  Why do you think I’m angry?

365
00:20:40,416 --> 00:20:41,958
- (sighs) I’m getting through to him.

366
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,958
He wants to believe, sweetie, he’s just...

367
00:20:44,958 --> 00:20:47,125
He’s nervous, he feels like Christians

368
00:20:47,166 --> 00:20:48,750
are always judging him.

369
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:50,875
- Well, maybe his actions warrant the fear.

370
00:20:52,875 --> 00:20:55,708
- Obviously, nothing happened.

371
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,500
He just wanted to talk about God.

372
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,416
- In the hot tub, while I’m at work?

373
00:20:59,416 --> 00:21:00,625
That’s not okay, Amber.

374
00:21:00,666 --> 00:21:02,083
- Okay, come on, seriously?

375
00:21:02,125 --> 00:21:03,375
What do you think happened?

376
00:21:03,375 --> 00:21:05,416
- I don’t know, but I told you this morning

377
00:21:05,458 --> 00:21:08,166
not to hang out with him, and I come home to this?

378
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:09,750
What am I supposed to think?

379
00:21:10,916 --> 00:21:12,916
(sighs)

380
00:21:17,416 --> 00:21:18,250
- Wait.

381
00:21:19,625 --> 00:21:20,458
- What?

382
00:21:21,625 --> 00:21:22,708
- Are you jealous?

383
00:21:25,125 --> 00:21:28,125
- No, no, I’m not jealous, I just want you to listen to me.

384
00:21:29,291 --> 00:21:32,583
- No, I think you’re a little jealous.

385
00:21:32,583 --> 00:21:35,916
Are you worried that I’m into the creepy hermit type?

386
00:21:35,958 --> 00:21:38,041
- Well, you were into me when I was a big fat guy,

387
00:21:38,083 --> 00:21:39,791
but you’re married now.

388
00:21:39,791 --> 00:21:40,791
No more pity crushes.

389
00:21:41,916 --> 00:21:42,750
- Pity crush?

390
00:21:44,541 --> 00:21:46,916
That was no pity crush.

391
00:21:46,958 --> 00:21:49,791
I fell in love with you because I saw the man inside

392
00:21:49,833 --> 00:21:51,083
underneath all of that.

393
00:21:52,291 --> 00:21:53,958
I didn’t care what you looked like.

394
00:21:55,708 --> 00:21:58,250
- Well, they say that love makes you blind as a bat.

395
00:21:59,458 --> 00:22:00,750
Maybe I should be worried.

396
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:03,791
- I wouldn’t be worried.

397
00:22:03,791 --> 00:22:06,333
I’m blind as a bat and faithful as a penguin.

398
00:22:06,375 --> 00:22:07,791
You’re stuck with me, pastor.

399
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:14,916
(sighs)

400
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:17,625
- Just don’t hang out with him when I’m not home, okay?

401
00:22:17,666 --> 00:22:18,500
- Okay.

402
00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:30,625
(thunder rumbling)

403
00:22:33,916 --> 00:22:36,500
(rain falling)

404
00:22:46,583 --> 00:22:49,166
(gentle music)

405
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:09,208
(ominous music)

406
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:11,958
- Oh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.

407
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:13,458
I’m baking zucchini bread.

408
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:15,458
I wanted to see if you and Alex wanted to join me?

409
00:23:15,458 --> 00:23:18,250
- Oh, hi, Evie, sorry, I’m just a little jumpy today.

410
00:23:18,291 --> 00:23:19,875
I thought you were...

411
00:23:21,250 --> 00:23:22,583
- The boogeyman?

412
00:23:22,583 --> 00:23:27,000
- No, it’s silly, it’s just Pastor Zach’s

413
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
a little uncomfortable with the man next door

414
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,250
and asked that I not let him come around when he’s at work.

415
00:23:33,291 --> 00:23:36,583
- Oh, that’s good advice for any married woman.

416
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:39,666
But I hope he didn’t say anything in front of the neighbor.

417
00:23:39,708 --> 00:23:40,708
- Oh, no, of course not.

418
00:23:40,708 --> 00:23:41,833
It’s a non-issue, really.

419
00:23:41,833 --> 00:23:44,750
- Good, well, whatever it is,

420
00:23:44,750 --> 00:23:46,083
I hope it doesn’t distract him

421
00:23:46,083 --> 00:23:48,083
from being an extension of God’s love.

422
00:23:49,291 --> 00:23:51,666
After all, that is our true calling.

423
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,875
(thunder rumbling)

424
00:24:00,958 --> 00:24:03,625
(ominous music)

425
00:24:14,791 --> 00:24:17,666
(distorted voices)

426
00:25:01,541 --> 00:25:04,541
(children giggling)

427
00:25:14,708 --> 00:25:17,791
(footsteps stomping)

428
00:25:25,083 --> 00:25:26,750
(laughing)

429
00:25:26,750 --> 00:25:28,083
- Hey, neighbor.

430
00:25:30,916 --> 00:25:31,750
How’s it going?

431
00:25:31,791 --> 00:25:32,625
Glad you made it.

432
00:25:33,875 --> 00:25:35,458
What’d you think of the service?

433
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:39,250
- Interesting, a little showy perhaps.

434
00:25:40,666 --> 00:25:44,333
So you really believe that God can change people?

435
00:25:46,041 --> 00:25:49,666
- Absolutely, in fact, I think God is the only one who can.

436
00:25:49,708 --> 00:25:50,916
- See, I have a problem with that.

437
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:54,208
If God has the power to change people,

438
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:57,333
then why doesn’t he just do it

439
00:25:57,333 --> 00:26:01,125
instead of waiting around for us to destroy each other?

440
00:26:02,291 --> 00:26:04,166
- Pastor Zach, I’m so sorry to interrupt,

441
00:26:04,208 --> 00:26:06,041
but I’ve got Dr. Riley on the phone,

442
00:26:06,083 --> 00:26:08,166
and he has a terminally ill patient

443
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:10,791
that’s requesting a visit from you this afternoon.

444
00:26:10,833 --> 00:26:11,916
He’s not expected to make it

445
00:26:11,916 --> 00:26:14,250
through the evening. - Oh, no.

446
00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:16,208
- Would you be a dear and be able to stop by?

447
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:17,708
- Absolutely, yeah, I’ll be there.

448
00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:18,916
- You’re amazing.

449
00:26:20,041 --> 00:26:21,708
Dr. Riley, he’ll be...

450
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:22,875
- Who is she?

451
00:26:22,875 --> 00:26:24,541
- Oh, that’s Britney, my assistant.

452
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:26,333
I’m pretty sure I told you about her.

453
00:26:26,375 --> 00:26:27,625
- I don’t think you have.

454
00:26:27,625 --> 00:26:29,125
- Really, she’s great.

455
00:26:29,125 --> 00:26:30,916
Hey, so we should set up a meeting this week.

456
00:26:30,916 --> 00:26:32,541
- Yes, maybe we can meet at your house.

457
00:26:32,583 --> 00:26:35,208
Maybe Amber can cook us dinner.

458
00:26:35,208 --> 00:26:37,541
You’re an amazing cook, I bet.

459
00:26:37,583 --> 00:26:39,916
- I do know my way around the kitchen.

460
00:26:39,916 --> 00:26:41,375
- (chuckles) I bet.

461
00:26:41,375 --> 00:26:42,166
- You know, I think my office might be more appropriate.

462
00:26:42,166 --> 00:26:43,041
Let’s do it there.

463
00:26:44,291 --> 00:26:46,958
- Okay, well, it’s a very busy week.

464
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,708
I can meet on Tuesday.

465
00:26:51,416 --> 00:26:53,083
- Zach, hon, they’re losing him.

466
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:54,583
We need you now.

467
00:26:54,583 --> 00:26:57,458
- Okay, set it up, I will be there.

468
00:27:01,833 --> 00:27:04,333
- I swear, Mr. Popular, right?

469
00:27:04,375 --> 00:27:07,416
It can be so hard to get him to do what I want sometimes.

470
00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:10,125
- That’s reassuring.

471
00:27:27,375 --> 00:27:28,541
- Guess what day it is.

472
00:27:30,541 --> 00:27:31,708
-  It’s a beautiful day.

473
00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:34,125
- It is a beautiful, wonderful, amazing day.

474
00:27:34,125 --> 00:27:36,958
I just got back from watching someone slip into eternity

475
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,416
with full certainty of where they are going.

476
00:27:40,791 --> 00:27:45,375
It was amazing, it was peaceful, it was intoxicating.

477
00:27:47,083 --> 00:27:48,333
I love my job.

478
00:27:49,458 --> 00:27:51,416
-  Congratulations.

479
00:27:53,583 --> 00:27:54,416
- What’s wrong?

480
00:27:56,291 --> 00:27:57,458
Is it about dinner?

481
00:27:57,458 --> 00:27:59,375
I’m sorry that I missed dinner, but babe,

482
00:27:59,375 --> 00:28:00,875
if someone’s dying, I have to be there.

483
00:28:00,916 --> 00:28:02,916
-  No, I get it, your job is important, whatever.

484
00:28:02,958 --> 00:28:04,208
- Then what is it?

485
00:28:05,791 --> 00:28:07,791
(sighs)

486
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:12,916
- Tell me about Britney.

487
00:28:15,291 --> 00:28:16,125
- Britney?

488
00:28:17,083 --> 00:28:18,875
She’s my assistant.

489
00:28:18,875 --> 00:28:20,375
- Is she why you took the job?

490
00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:26,083
- I took the job to save souls, that’s it.

491
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:27,583
Why would you even go there?

492
00:28:27,625 --> 00:28:29,500
- I don’t know, maybe because she’s blond

493
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:30,833
and hot and into you.

494
00:28:40,291 --> 00:28:42,500
-  Babe, babe.

495
00:28:45,250 --> 00:28:47,958
I love you, you’re the only one for me.

496
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,333
You have my heart, you have my soul forever.

497
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:54,000
- Okay.

498
00:28:56,291 --> 00:28:57,625
- You don’t seem convinced.

499
00:29:00,208 --> 00:29:01,166
Do you want me to fire her?

500
00:29:06,916 --> 00:29:08,250
- Yes.

501
00:29:08,291 --> 00:29:10,500
-  Okay, babe, listen.

502
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:13,125
- No, of course not.

503
00:29:13,125 --> 00:29:14,291
I love you.

504
00:29:14,291 --> 00:29:17,291
- Of course you do, I’m amazing.

505
00:29:17,291 --> 00:29:19,333
- And the most humble pastor in the history of Life House.

506
00:29:19,375 --> 00:29:20,708
- Do you know what, that might be true.

507
00:29:20,750 --> 00:29:23,333
And speaking of unparalleled amazingness,

508
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:25,666
guess who got our neighbor to go to a meeting

509
00:29:25,666 --> 00:29:27,625
at church next Tuesday night?

510
00:29:28,833 --> 00:29:29,833
- Not you.

511
00:29:31,458 --> 00:29:33,000
- Yeah, no, it was me.

512
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,458
- Tuesday night? - Yes.

513
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,000
- Our anniversary?

514
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,750
We have dinner reservations, I have a sitter lined up.

515
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:41,250
- Hey, baby, I’m sorry, I can’t back out on this.

516
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:42,250
It’s really important.

517
00:29:42,291 --> 00:29:43,500
He may never come back again.

518
00:29:43,541 --> 00:29:46,166
This might be my only chance to reach him.

519
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:47,416
We can do it Wednesday.

520
00:29:47,416 --> 00:29:49,333
No, I have Wednesday evening service.

521
00:29:50,750 --> 00:29:52,708
Thursday, Thursday, I will take you out Thursday

522
00:29:52,750 --> 00:29:55,750
and we are gonna celebrate. - Bible study.

523
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:59,625
- Okay, listen, I don’t know when we’re gonna do it, okay,

524
00:29:59,625 --> 00:30:01,958
but I promise we will and it’s gonna be amazing.

525
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,083
We’re gonna celebrate.

526
00:30:03,958 --> 00:30:05,958
- Yeah, maybe next year.

527
00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:12,791
(gentle music)

528
00:30:22,625 --> 00:30:26,500
- Oh, look at that, it is your book.

529
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:29,000
- Yeah, that’s it.

530
00:30:30,541 --> 00:30:31,750
It’s amazing how many lives

531
00:30:31,791 --> 00:30:33,125
are being touched by those words.

532
00:30:34,291 --> 00:30:37,125
I put my heart and my soul in this project.

533
00:30:37,166 --> 00:30:38,000
- Yeah, I read it.

534
00:30:39,041 --> 00:30:40,875
- Really, what’d you think?

535
00:30:40,916 --> 00:30:42,666
- Eh, I didn’t like it.

536
00:30:43,666 --> 00:30:45,791
It was too preachy for me.

537
00:30:45,791 --> 00:30:48,291
Not that I’m saying you’re a bad writer,

538
00:30:48,291 --> 00:30:52,000
it’s just I don’t like bad books.

539
00:30:53,916 --> 00:30:57,541
I did, however, find the parts

540
00:30:57,541 --> 00:31:01,375
about you and Amber intriguing,

541
00:31:02,291 --> 00:31:05,000
how she loved and supported you,

542
00:31:06,208 --> 00:31:09,666
even though you were fat and unappealing.

543
00:31:11,083 --> 00:31:15,583
It’s so hard to find a woman that cares so deeply

544
00:31:15,625 --> 00:31:19,125
regardless of a man’s size.

545
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:25,541
- Well, I had some other things to offer, too.

546
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:27,041
- Oh yeah, like what, rage?

547
00:31:28,541 --> 00:31:32,208
Because you were a pretty angry man back in the day

548
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:36,083
before Jesus magically transformed you

549
00:31:36,125 --> 00:31:40,416
into a sweet and loving pastor.

550
00:31:41,875 --> 00:31:44,458
Do you still wrestle with it just once in a while?

551
00:31:48,791 --> 00:31:50,083
- You know what, I share some pretty personal things

552
00:31:50,083 --> 00:31:53,250
in the book, and I think it’s important because-

553
00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:57,250
- Because, because anger, anger is a tricky beast.

554
00:31:57,291 --> 00:31:59,333
You know, you can suppress it,

555
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:04,125
you can cover it up, but it never really goes away.

556
00:32:06,875 --> 00:32:10,083
It just lies there dormant,

557
00:32:11,833 --> 00:32:15,666
waiting for another reason to explode.

558
00:32:17,166 --> 00:32:18,875
- Yeah, well, mine’s gone.

559
00:32:18,875 --> 00:32:21,958
God healed me, and I believe he can do the same for you.

560
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,500
-  Who said I’m angry?

561
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,250
- No one, but we’ve all got stuff.

562
00:32:28,416 --> 00:32:30,541
Do you know what I see when I look at you?

563
00:32:30,541 --> 00:32:32,541
- No, tell me.

564
00:32:32,583 --> 00:32:34,875
-  I see someone who’s hurting,

565
00:32:34,875 --> 00:32:37,416
someone’s who’s tried to the right thing and came up short.

566
00:32:37,416 --> 00:32:40,291
(distorted voices)

567
00:32:42,458 --> 00:32:44,375
That’s what darkness does, it blinds us to the truth

568
00:32:44,375 --> 00:32:47,833
of who he really is and how much he does love us,

569
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:50,291
even with our mistakes.

570
00:32:50,333 --> 00:32:51,875
He’s a loving and forgiving God

571
00:32:51,875 --> 00:32:53,875
and wants to be in relationship with you.

572
00:32:55,125 --> 00:32:57,625
Would you like to begin that journey?

573
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:59,333
- So you met Amber in college.

574
00:33:03,250 --> 00:33:06,416
- Yeah, we were in a theology class together,

575
00:33:06,458 --> 00:33:09,958
and she was always asking these deep profound questions

576
00:33:09,958 --> 00:33:13,000
about God and life, and I wanted to be with her.

577
00:33:14,208 --> 00:33:16,541
I wanted to spend every day and hour with her.

578
00:33:16,541 --> 00:33:19,208
- Hmm, so the real reason you married her

579
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:22,750
was for her spiritual depth.

580
00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:29,041
The baking and the beauty were just nice perks.

581
00:33:33,291 --> 00:33:34,625
- Pretty much.

582
00:33:34,666 --> 00:33:36,166
Speaking of spiritual depth,

583
00:33:36,208 --> 00:33:37,833
you asked an interesting question yesterday at church.

584
00:33:37,833 --> 00:33:40,541
- Do you still love her that way?

585
00:33:45,333 --> 00:33:46,833
- What?

586
00:33:46,833 --> 00:33:51,333
- Do you still long to be with her every second of the day?

587
00:33:53,291 --> 00:33:58,291
Because some men when they get married, they run off.

588
00:34:00,916 --> 00:34:02,291
They build a life for themselves,

589
00:34:02,333 --> 00:34:07,125
and they com-com-completely forget the treasure

590
00:34:09,541 --> 00:34:11,375
that they have at home.

591
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:13,250
You’re not one of those guys, are you?

592
00:34:16,333 --> 00:34:18,666
- We both have our responsibilities,

593
00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:20,208
but don’t think for a second

594
00:34:20,208 --> 00:34:22,458
that means I don’t love her more every single day.

595
00:34:22,458 --> 00:34:24,125
- (chuckles) Well, that’s good to hear,

596
00:34:25,250 --> 00:34:28,416
’cause a woman like Amber

597
00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:35,333
deserves to be loved more than anything in the world.

598
00:34:38,041 --> 00:34:40,541
(eerie music)

599
00:34:43,875 --> 00:34:45,708
-  This guy’s a waste of my time, I’m moving on.

600
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,125
-  I don’t think that’s an option for a pastor.

601
00:34:48,166 --> 00:34:50,208
- He doesn’t wanna talk about God, Amber.

602
00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:51,708
He wants to talk about you.

603
00:34:51,708 --> 00:34:53,583
- You’re asking him to open up about himself to you.

604
00:34:53,583 --> 00:34:54,750
That’s a big deal, it takes time.

605
00:34:54,791 --> 00:34:56,291
- I’m telling you--

606
00:34:56,291 --> 00:34:57,125
- I don’t know what your problem is with this guy,

607
00:34:57,125 --> 00:34:58,416
but it ends now.

608
00:35:00,083 --> 00:35:02,375
You are a pastor.

609
00:35:02,375 --> 00:35:05,625
You’re supposed to be one person he can’t push away.

610
00:35:05,666 --> 00:35:07,916
Loving people is your job now.

611
00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:11,791
You know, maybe you need to spend

612
00:35:11,833 --> 00:35:13,500
a little bit less time writing your sermons,

613
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:15,708
and a little bit more time listening to them.

614
00:35:15,708 --> 00:35:17,166
Did you know you can do that now?

615
00:35:17,208 --> 00:35:18,458
You’re on a podcast.

616
00:35:36,791 --> 00:35:38,708
- I’m headed out, I’ll see you later.

617
00:35:38,708 --> 00:35:40,208
- Bye.

618
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:41,375
- Good morning, pastor.

619
00:35:42,791 --> 00:35:44,375
(ominous music)

620
00:35:44,375 --> 00:35:45,625
- Nice pjs.

621
00:35:45,666 --> 00:35:47,250
Don’t you wear those to work?

622
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,875
- Oh, I don’t work.

623
00:35:48,875 --> 00:35:50,375
I’ve been unemployed for years.

624
00:35:50,416 --> 00:35:52,083
It’s a tough market.

625
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:55,541
Fortunately for me, I came into a little inheritance

626
00:35:55,583 --> 00:35:57,583
when my Grandmamma passed away.

627
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:02,916
I’d give it all up to have her back though.

628
00:36:05,458 --> 00:36:09,000
She raised me from the time I was seven years old.

629
00:36:10,750 --> 00:36:12,750
Did I ever tell you that?

630
00:36:12,791 --> 00:36:16,041
- No, and it sounds like a super interesting story,

631
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:18,166
but unfortunately, I have to go, so--

632
00:36:18,208 --> 00:36:19,583
- That’s really sweet.

633
00:36:20,875 --> 00:36:24,333
She sounds like a really special woman.

634
00:36:24,375 --> 00:36:25,541
- Oh, she was.

635
00:36:26,625 --> 00:36:29,416
She was into God, too, like you.

636
00:36:32,125 --> 00:36:34,125
She certainly would have approved of you.

637
00:36:35,958 --> 00:36:40,291
You too make such a perfect couple.

638
00:36:42,875 --> 00:36:46,208
I’m sorry I made you miss your anniversary dinner.

639
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:47,458
(ominous music)

640
00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:49,708
- How did you know it was our anniversary?

641
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:51,750
- She was really into gardening, too.

642
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:55,666
I remember planting flowers with her.

643
00:36:57,833 --> 00:36:59,333
Those were happy times.

644
00:37:00,958 --> 00:37:05,291
- Hmm, well, I have to go, babe.

645
00:37:13,666 --> 00:37:14,500
See you tonight.

646
00:37:16,833 --> 00:37:18,833
- I’d better get back to it.

647
00:37:20,291 --> 00:37:22,333
- You have a real gift for gardening.

648
00:37:23,541 --> 00:37:24,375
Don’t move.

649
00:37:30,041 --> 00:37:31,333
I have something for you.

650
00:37:44,416 --> 00:37:45,666
- Those are beautiful.

651
00:37:48,416 --> 00:37:52,208
- Yeah, they’re mums.

652
00:37:54,708 --> 00:37:55,541
(sniffs) Mm.

653
00:37:57,125 --> 00:37:58,666
My favorite kind of flower.

654
00:38:00,041 --> 00:38:04,416
I think it would look beautiful right next to yours.

655
00:38:06,041 --> 00:38:08,375
Does Pastor Zach help you garden?

656
00:38:08,375 --> 00:38:10,958
- Oh, no, it’s not really his thing.

657
00:38:10,958 --> 00:38:14,000
He’s so busy with work and everything.

658
00:38:14,041 --> 00:38:16,916
- Yeah, I understand.

659
00:38:16,958 --> 00:38:18,291
My dad was the same way.

660
00:38:20,125 --> 00:38:24,958
Gone all the time, late nights at the office.

661
00:38:26,458 --> 00:38:28,708
Of course, it turned out he was having an affair

662
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:31,375
with his secretary.

663
00:38:34,166 --> 00:38:38,291
But I’m sure Pastor Zach is not like that.

664
00:38:38,291 --> 00:38:39,875
You have nothing to worry about.

665
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:43,750
We should have seen it coming.

666
00:38:45,125 --> 00:38:46,583
He showed us all the signs.

667
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:53,291
He just became very mysterious and angry,

668
00:38:55,416 --> 00:39:00,375
always accusing mom of having an affair.

669
00:39:02,541 --> 00:39:04,416
Well, you know what they say,

670
00:39:05,875 --> 00:39:07,208
if you’re hung up on the idea of someone cheating,

671
00:39:07,208 --> 00:39:10,541
it’s probably because you are.

672
00:39:17,541 --> 00:39:20,375
- The fact of the matter is the board wants red,

673
00:39:20,375 --> 00:39:22,416
so it’s out of my control.

674
00:39:24,458 --> 00:39:25,791
Hey, can I call you back?

675
00:39:29,208 --> 00:39:31,750
(gentle music)

676
00:39:50,250 --> 00:39:51,083
- Hey, Amber?

677
00:39:55,708 --> 00:39:56,791
Oh, hey. - Hi.

678
00:40:01,666 --> 00:40:05,750
You, me, anniversary dinner, 10 minutes, go get dressed.

679
00:40:16,416 --> 00:40:17,583
- Hello, Pastor Zach.

680
00:40:19,791 --> 00:40:21,583
How do you like Amber’s garden?

681
00:40:24,125 --> 00:40:25,958
You know what, I didn’t even notice it.

682
00:40:25,958 --> 00:40:27,625
It looks beautiful.

683
00:40:27,625 --> 00:40:29,166
-  How do you like the mums?

684
00:40:31,375 --> 00:40:32,250
- They look great.

685
00:40:33,625 --> 00:40:38,041
- Thanks, we spent all afternoon together working on them.

686
00:40:41,083 --> 00:40:42,625
- Well, it looks great.

687
00:40:42,666 --> 00:40:43,625
-  Thanks.

688
00:40:44,833 --> 00:40:47,500
So you two look fancy.

689
00:40:47,541 --> 00:40:48,541
What’s the occasion?

690
00:40:50,333 --> 00:40:52,166
- You know, I think you already know.

691
00:40:55,083 --> 00:40:57,583
- Wow, really?

692
00:40:57,583 --> 00:41:01,250
You mean, I can’t believe it.

693
00:41:01,291 --> 00:41:03,166
I’ll get my tie, just-- - Whoa, whoa.

694
00:41:04,625 --> 00:41:06,583
It’s really weird that you would think it’s okay

695
00:41:06,583 --> 00:41:09,541
to invite yourself to our anniversary dinner.

696
00:41:09,541 --> 00:41:12,708
Besides, don’t you think you’re a little under dressed?

697
00:41:14,166 --> 00:41:17,541
Why don’t you plant some begonias in your own yard?

698
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:19,833
Don’t wait up.

699
00:41:22,250 --> 00:41:24,916
(ominous music)

700
00:41:29,291 --> 00:41:31,083
-  That’s what darkness does,

701
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:32,583
it blinds us to the truth of who he really is.

702
00:41:32,583 --> 00:41:35,458
How much he does love us even when we make mistakes.

703
00:41:36,958 --> 00:41:38,666
He’s a loving and forgiving God

704
00:41:38,666 --> 00:41:40,916
and wants to be in a relationship with you.

705
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:44,125
Would you like to recognize him?

706
00:41:44,166 --> 00:41:46,375
(knocking)

707
00:41:50,583 --> 00:41:52,041
- What time is it?

708
00:41:53,250 --> 00:41:54,458
- 6:30.

709
00:41:57,083 --> 00:41:59,291
(knocking)

710
00:42:03,083 --> 00:42:03,875
- Why?

711
00:42:05,375 --> 00:42:06,708
- Good morning, Pastor Zach.

712
00:42:06,708 --> 00:42:07,541
Did I wake you?

713
00:42:08,958 --> 00:42:13,500
Oh, I’m sorry, I know you were out till 1:37 this morning,

714
00:42:13,541 --> 00:42:16,083
but you’re usually up by now.

715
00:42:16,125 --> 00:42:18,083
-  That is really weird that you know that, man.

716
00:42:18,083 --> 00:42:20,458
- Yeah, I wanted to apologize for yesterday.

717
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:23,291
I hope I didn’t ruin your anniversary dinner

718
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:25,875
by asking to come along.

719
00:42:25,875 --> 00:42:27,125
-  Nope, don’t worry about it.

720
00:42:27,166 --> 00:42:28,458
Just go back to bed, okay?

721
00:42:28,458 --> 00:42:30,458
- It’s just that yesterday was a...

722
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:32,166
It was a special day for me, too.

723
00:42:33,541 --> 00:42:35,041
- Really? - Yeah.

724
00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:38,583
It was the 10-year anniversary of my Grandmamma’s passing.

725
00:42:39,791 --> 00:42:41,500
- Oh, I’m so sorry.

726
00:42:41,541 --> 00:42:44,375
- It’s okay, it’s okay, there’s no way

727
00:42:44,375 --> 00:42:46,750
that you two could have known, and I feel bad,

728
00:42:46,791 --> 00:42:48,291
and I wanna give you something.

729
00:42:51,250 --> 00:42:54,166
-  Listen, we can’t take anything from you.

730
00:42:54,166 --> 00:42:58,041
- Oh, no, please, I would want you to have it.

731
00:42:58,083 --> 00:43:00,250
Grandmamma would have loved the two of you,

732
00:43:01,458 --> 00:43:02,250
and she would want you to have this.

733
00:43:02,250 --> 00:43:03,500
I wanna do this for her.

734
00:43:04,541 --> 00:43:07,875
Will you be home this afternoon?

735
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:11,791
- Well, we have church at seven, but yeah,

736
00:43:11,791 --> 00:43:14,041
we should be home most of the afternoon.

737
00:43:14,083 --> 00:43:16,916
- Good, good, all right, I’ll bring it over after lunch.

738
00:43:18,666 --> 00:43:21,166
Congratulations on your anniversary.

739
00:43:23,708 --> 00:43:26,583
That’s really special.

740
00:43:33,833 --> 00:43:36,458
-  Okay, well, I’m a jerk face.

741
00:43:36,458 --> 00:43:38,166
- I’ll go make coffee, jerk face.

742
00:43:45,208 --> 00:43:47,750
(gentle music)

743
00:43:49,458 --> 00:43:50,291
Hey, babe.

744
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:55,333
How’s it going?

745
00:43:56,416 --> 00:43:57,916
- Oh, I just...

746
00:44:00,916 --> 00:44:02,750
Why did I ever start a sermon series

747
00:44:02,750 --> 00:44:04,791
on loving your neighbor?

748
00:44:04,833 --> 00:44:07,416
- Do you really want me to answer that?

749
00:44:07,416 --> 00:44:09,791
- Yes. - Maybe because you need it.

750
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,750
(knocking)

751
00:44:14,750 --> 00:44:15,875
It’s show time.

752
00:44:19,375 --> 00:44:21,000
- Hey, neighbor.

753
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,833
Sorry it took so long, it was pretty dusty.

754
00:44:23,875 --> 00:44:27,291
I wanted to shine it up before I brought it over.

755
00:44:27,291 --> 00:44:28,875
I’ve been working on it all day.

756
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,583
- Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful.

757
00:44:30,583 --> 00:44:33,583
- Yeah, yeah, it was Grandmamma’s.

758
00:44:33,625 --> 00:44:37,041
Her and Pops, they were married 62 years.

759
00:44:38,708 --> 00:44:40,166
You two remind me of them.

760
00:44:41,291 --> 00:44:43,625
Well, the hook is damaged,

761
00:44:43,625 --> 00:44:48,041
so it’s kind of difficult to hang,

762
00:44:48,083 --> 00:44:49,291
but I know how to do it.

763
00:44:49,291 --> 00:44:51,791
It shouldn’t take me more than a half hour.

764
00:44:53,083 --> 00:44:55,166
What do you think, Pastor Zach?

765
00:44:55,208 --> 00:44:56,458
- It’s beautiful,

766
00:44:56,458 --> 00:44:58,125
but we can’t take your grandmother’s mirror.

767
00:44:58,125 --> 00:45:00,791
- Oh, yes, you can, I want you to have it.

768
00:45:00,833 --> 00:45:02,375
- It is amazing, but we are actually

769
00:45:02,416 --> 00:45:03,666
just headed out the door.

770
00:45:03,666 --> 00:45:05,208
Could you come back after nine sometime?

771
00:45:06,458 --> 00:45:08,041
-  Well, it’s pretty heavy.

772
00:45:09,958 --> 00:45:11,291
- Why don’t you just leave it here,

773
00:45:11,291 --> 00:45:13,541
and I’ll put it up when I have some time?

774
00:45:13,541 --> 00:45:16,541
- Um, well, it’s difficult to hang.

775
00:45:16,541 --> 00:45:19,041
You have to know exactly what you’re doing

776
00:45:19,083 --> 00:45:21,583
or it could fall and break.

777
00:45:21,583 --> 00:45:23,583
- Okay, quick kidding around, Zach.

778
00:45:23,583 --> 00:45:26,333
We love the mirror, it’s beautiful.

779
00:45:26,375 --> 00:45:27,916
Listen, we’re on our way out,

780
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:30,541
but would you be willing to hang it for us while we’re gone?

781
00:45:30,541 --> 00:45:31,750
- Of course.

782
00:45:31,791 --> 00:45:33,875
- That’s perfect, some on in, right, Zach?

783
00:45:35,208 --> 00:45:37,000
Alex, time to go.

784
00:45:37,916 --> 00:45:39,416
- Knock ’em dead, Pastor Zach.

785
00:45:42,208 --> 00:45:43,416
- Lock up when you leave.

786
00:45:45,291 --> 00:45:46,125
- Will do.

787
00:45:48,083 --> 00:45:50,750
(ominous music)

788
00:45:56,125 --> 00:45:59,250
- (gasps) Here it is.

789
00:45:59,250 --> 00:46:01,958
Oh my goodness, it’s amazing.

790
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,666
- Great, so he was in here.

791
00:46:03,666 --> 00:46:06,083
- Oh, would you stop it?

792
00:46:06,125 --> 00:46:08,666
Look at this, is it not gorgeous?

793
00:46:08,666 --> 00:46:09,500
- It’s pretty.

794
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,708
DeBrand’s Fine Chocolates? - Oh.

795
00:46:14,750 --> 00:46:16,333
- He’s not such a bad guy after all.

796
00:46:18,250 --> 00:46:20,791
Amber, now you can enjoy the beauty

797
00:46:20,833 --> 00:46:22,625
that the rest of us see in you.

798
00:46:23,791 --> 00:46:25,416
Not super thrilled about the note.

799
00:46:26,875 --> 00:46:29,666
- No way, honey, it’s a skinny mirror.

800
00:46:29,666 --> 00:46:31,125
I just lost 10 pounds, ha!

801
00:46:32,916 --> 00:46:36,333
Oh, mm, mm-hmm, I could get used to this.

802
00:46:42,125 --> 00:46:44,625
(eerie music)

803
00:47:05,916 --> 00:47:06,916
- Hey, good morning. - Hi.

804
00:47:06,916 --> 00:47:08,333
- Good to see you again.

805
00:47:08,333 --> 00:47:10,083
How did you enjoy your neighbor’s message this morning?

806
00:47:10,125 --> 00:47:11,291
- I enjoyed it very much.

807
00:47:11,291 --> 00:47:12,833
I like this series.

808
00:47:12,833 --> 00:47:16,333
I think it’s important to be a good neighbor.

809
00:47:18,041 --> 00:47:20,250
And thank you for inviting me here.

810
00:47:20,291 --> 00:47:22,791
You were right about these people.

811
00:47:22,833 --> 00:47:27,833
It feels so good to be a part of a church family.

812
00:47:28,541 --> 00:47:30,000
- Sure thing, buddy.

813
00:47:30,041 --> 00:47:32,541
Hey, do you mind if I grab a quick word with you real quick?

814
00:47:32,541 --> 00:47:33,583
- Sure. - Be right back.

815
00:47:36,625 --> 00:47:38,500
So, yeah, I wanted to talk to you about the mirror.

816
00:47:38,541 --> 00:47:40,708
First of all, thank you so much, it’s beautiful.

817
00:47:40,750 --> 00:47:42,083
I know it must have meant a lot to you.

818
00:47:42,083 --> 00:47:44,541
- Well, you and Amber mean a lot to me, too.

819
00:47:46,041 --> 00:47:47,791
Mostly Amber.

820
00:47:47,791 --> 00:47:50,250
- Yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about.

821
00:47:51,291 --> 00:47:54,375
The note, what was that?

822
00:47:54,375 --> 00:47:56,625
- Oh, I’m sorry, was there a typo?

823
00:47:56,666 --> 00:47:58,708
I’m a terrible speller.

824
00:47:58,708 --> 00:48:00,833
- Oh, I think you know what I mean.

825
00:48:00,875 --> 00:48:02,416
It’s inappropriate for you to be writing

826
00:48:02,416 --> 00:48:04,666
flirty notes to a married woman, yeah?

827
00:48:04,708 --> 00:48:07,458
- Oh, I see, but it’s okay for you

828
00:48:07,458 --> 00:48:12,250
to write flirty notes to a single woman.

829
00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:14,083
- What are you talking about?

830
00:48:14,125 --> 00:48:16,875
- (snickers) I see the way she looks at you.

831
00:48:16,916 --> 00:48:21,125
Clearly, your many late nights have not been lonely ones.

832
00:48:22,750 --> 00:48:24,041
- Don’t even go there, bro.

833
00:48:24,041 --> 00:48:25,250
- (chuckles) Well, I can certainly understand

834
00:48:25,291 --> 00:48:30,125
the attraction, she’s very pretty, very, very.

835
00:48:30,125 --> 00:48:31,583
(laughs)

836
00:48:31,583 --> 00:48:33,041
- All right, listen, you might not even get this

837
00:48:33,041 --> 00:48:34,500
coming from a jacked up family.

838
00:48:34,541 --> 00:48:35,833
- Oh, jacked up now, huh? - But Amber and I are in love.

839
00:48:35,833 --> 00:48:37,333
- Are you? - We’re in love in every way.

840
00:48:37,333 --> 00:48:39,333
- Really, really? - I will fight anyone--

841
00:48:39,333 --> 00:48:40,583
- Oh, you wanna fight me?

842
00:48:40,583 --> 00:48:41,916
- Or anything that comes between, bf.

843
00:48:41,916 --> 00:48:42,291
(laughs)

844
00:48:42,916 --> 00:48:44,208
- Well, don’t get so angry, Pastor Zach.

845
00:48:44,208 --> 00:48:45,958
I know how violent you can become.

846
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,958
It’s not very neighborly.

847
00:48:48,208 --> 00:48:50,250
-  Oh my goodness. - Hi.

848
00:48:50,291 --> 00:48:52,208
- Thank you so much for the mirror, we love it.

849
00:48:52,208 --> 00:48:55,875
- Oh, wow, really, thank you, it feels so good to hear.

850
00:48:55,875 --> 00:48:57,750
- Get away from him, get away!

851
00:48:57,791 --> 00:48:59,625
You’re done, you’re done!

852
00:49:00,541 --> 00:49:02,833
Don’t touch my wife, don’t touch me,

853
00:49:02,833 --> 00:49:05,291
don’t come to my house, and don’t come back to church.

854
00:49:05,333 --> 00:49:07,041
- What is your problem?

855
00:49:07,041 --> 00:49:08,541
- I’m sorry, Pastor Zach,

856
00:49:08,541 --> 00:49:13,458
I forgot that the house of God is no place for sinners.

857
00:49:14,083 --> 00:49:14,791
- Are you okay?

858
00:49:15,875 --> 00:49:18,625
- The back of my head is kinda hurting.

859
00:49:21,291 --> 00:49:23,833
(ominous tone)

860
00:49:25,958 --> 00:49:28,625
(clock ticking)

861
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,041
- I’m trying to protect you, you have to understand that.

862
00:49:42,708 --> 00:49:45,458
- You’re the only one who has a problem with him, Zach.

863
00:49:48,250 --> 00:49:49,375
- Maybe I shouldn’t be.

864
00:49:54,625 --> 00:49:56,083
(knocking)

865
00:49:56,375 --> 00:49:58,041
Doesn’t he ever give up?

866
00:49:58,041 --> 00:50:01,041
- Great, he probably wants his mirror back.

867
00:50:05,250 --> 00:50:07,583
- Evie, where’s James?

868
00:50:08,500 --> 00:50:09,833
- He’s in his shop.

869
00:50:09,833 --> 00:50:11,916
I bet he’d love some company.

870
00:50:15,083 --> 00:50:16,166
-  Here you go.

871
00:50:17,875 --> 00:50:22,416
(sighs) So Zach has been very angry lately.

872
00:50:23,583 --> 00:50:26,333
I mean, the man brings us a gift,

873
00:50:26,375 --> 00:50:29,250
and the next day he kicks him out of church.

874
00:50:29,291 --> 00:50:30,125
- Thank you.

875
00:50:31,541 --> 00:50:34,833
- He’s reminding me of old Zach, and it scares me.

876
00:50:35,291 --> 00:50:36,458
-  Why is he so upset?

877
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:37,750
- He has this irrational fear

878
00:50:37,750 --> 00:50:39,875
that there’s something going on between us.

879
00:50:41,166 --> 00:50:42,291
- Is it irrational?

880
00:50:43,541 --> 00:50:46,625
- Yes, obviously, I mean, maybe the guy

881
00:50:46,666 --> 00:50:48,000
has a little crush on me,

882
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,291
but I’m not attracted to him at all.

883
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:55,000
I just wanna be a good neighbor.

884
00:50:57,625 --> 00:51:00,291
- So you’re not enjoying how this crush

885
00:51:00,333 --> 00:51:03,333
might be making Pastor Zach a little jealous?

886
00:51:03,375 --> 00:51:04,208
- No!

887
00:51:08,291 --> 00:51:10,375
I don’t know, maybe.

888
00:51:12,625 --> 00:51:14,875
Zach is always a superstar.

889
00:51:14,875 --> 00:51:17,708
I mean, everyone loves Pastor Zach,

890
00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:19,791
which they should, he’s an amazing man,

891
00:51:19,833 --> 00:51:22,541
when he’s not acting like a crazy person.

892
00:51:22,541 --> 00:51:26,041
And where am I?

893
00:51:28,333 --> 00:51:32,666
In his shadow, always, and nobody even knows who I am.

894
00:51:32,666 --> 00:51:34,791
- That is not true. - It feels true.

895
00:51:36,833 --> 00:51:41,833
So I guess it was nice to be noticed for once,

896
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,375
and I’ve never seen Zach jealous ever.

897
00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:47,625
It made me feel wanted.

898
00:51:50,208 --> 00:51:55,166
- Amber, be careful about using jealousy

899
00:51:56,541 --> 00:51:58,375
to gain the attention of your husband.

900
00:51:59,875 --> 00:52:01,125
It only backfires.

901
00:52:03,166 --> 00:52:06,083
Look, I get it, as women it makes us feel

902
00:52:06,083 --> 00:52:07,625
like our husbands are fighting for us,

903
00:52:07,666 --> 00:52:10,416
but really it just pushes them away,

904
00:52:11,625 --> 00:52:13,541
and sometimes into the arms of someone

905
00:52:13,541 --> 00:52:17,166
who they might find more trustworthy.

906
00:52:21,916 --> 00:52:23,375
- Okay, why do I feel like I’m supposed

907
00:52:23,375 --> 00:52:24,541
to be reading into that?

908
00:52:28,541 --> 00:52:31,666
- How well do you know Pastor Zach’s assistant, Britney?

909
00:52:40,083 --> 00:52:42,166
We recently found out that he’s been sending her

910
00:52:42,208 --> 00:52:44,041
little gifts and notes on occasion.

911
00:52:47,583 --> 00:52:48,666
- What kinds of gifts?

912
00:52:50,541 --> 00:52:52,000
Flowers, chocolates.

913
00:52:53,125 --> 00:52:54,583
We did have a conversation with her,

914
00:52:54,583 --> 00:52:56,791
and she said it hadn’t gone any further than that.

915
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
James is gonna have a talk with Zach.

916
00:53:02,416 --> 00:53:03,583
- What did the note say?

917
00:53:07,208 --> 00:53:09,000
- It’s not important.

918
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,666
- Oh, but it is important.

919
00:53:10,708 --> 00:53:13,041
Are we talking, thanks for doing a great job,

920
00:53:13,041 --> 00:53:14,875
or thanks for being so pretty?

921
00:53:18,458 --> 00:53:23,458
- Amber, guard your heart and your family.

922
00:53:26,083 --> 00:53:27,625
You’re on the front lines

923
00:53:27,666 --> 00:53:30,583
and you’re doing important work for the kingdom,

924
00:53:30,583 --> 00:53:33,375
and sometimes that puts you in way of attack.

925
00:53:35,208 --> 00:53:40,166
All this, it’s just a distraction.

926
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,666
(door creaking)

927
00:54:03,666 --> 00:54:06,208
(gentle music)

928
00:55:43,958 --> 00:55:44,791
- Amber.

929
00:55:47,166 --> 00:55:48,958
I just need my tablet.

930
00:55:50,125 --> 00:55:53,291
- Okay, um, okay.

931
00:56:03,083 --> 00:56:04,333
It’s a beautiful bouquet.

932
00:56:05,708 --> 00:56:09,166
- Amber, I...

933
00:56:09,166 --> 00:56:12,625
- We have a son, Alex.

934
00:56:14,333 --> 00:56:15,166
You know that.

935
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:21,583
He’s seven, he’ll be eight in January.

936
00:56:25,958 --> 00:56:28,041
- Alex is a very sweet boy.

937
00:56:28,083 --> 00:56:29,250
- Yeah, like his daddy.

938
00:56:31,750 --> 00:56:36,750
He needs his daddy, and I need his daddy.

939
00:56:40,375 --> 00:56:41,208
You’re beautiful.

940
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:49,791
There’s gonna be a single man out there

941
00:56:49,791 --> 00:56:51,375
who’s very lucky to be with you.

942
00:56:53,333 --> 00:56:55,041
Please don’t ruin my marriage.

943
00:56:56,958 --> 00:56:57,791
- I won’t.

944
00:57:00,666 --> 00:57:02,250
We never did anything.

945
00:57:05,791 --> 00:57:10,625
He sent some gifts, but it never went anywhere, I swear.

946
00:57:14,958 --> 00:57:18,125
He’s actually not flirty around me at all.

947
00:57:19,416 --> 00:57:21,541
He’s all business.

948
00:57:24,083 --> 00:57:26,416
It’s actually very confusing. - Thank you.

949
00:57:29,208 --> 00:57:31,208
(sighs)

950
00:57:44,375 --> 00:57:47,041
(phone buzzing)

951
00:57:49,458 --> 00:57:50,416
- Hi, Evie.

952
00:57:53,458 --> 00:57:54,958
Yeah, we spoke briefly.

953
00:57:58,125 --> 00:58:00,083
Sorry, yeah, I shouldn’t have done that.

954
00:58:00,083 --> 00:58:03,958
I just needed to know.

955
00:58:05,916 --> 00:58:09,750
No, I understand, I appreciate your friendship.

956
00:58:09,791 --> 00:58:10,958
(knocking on window)

957
00:58:10,958 --> 00:58:14,125
Alex, come on inside, time for lunch.

958
00:58:16,625 --> 00:58:17,458
(knocking on window)

959
00:58:17,458 --> 00:58:18,291
Alex!

960
00:58:19,541 --> 00:58:21,750
What, oh, I’m sorry, I just...

961
00:58:22,791 --> 00:58:24,333
I don’t see Alex.

962
00:58:26,583 --> 00:58:27,416
He was just here.

963
00:58:33,500 --> 00:58:35,250
- Hey, how’s it going.

964
00:58:35,250 --> 00:58:36,708
- Here you go. - Thank you so much.

965
00:58:36,708 --> 00:58:38,541
- Would you like cream or sugar with that?

966
00:58:38,541 --> 00:58:39,875
- Oh, no, I’m fine, thank you though.

967
00:58:39,875 --> 00:58:41,458
- Have a great day! - You, too.

968
00:58:48,416 --> 00:58:50,916
(car dinging)

969
00:58:58,375 --> 00:59:00,208
- Hey there, young man. - Hey.

970
00:59:00,208 --> 00:59:01,708
Oh, hey, dude. - Yeah.

971
00:59:01,708 --> 00:59:03,833
- Can you help me out? - What can I do for you?

972
00:59:03,833 --> 00:59:06,208
- Cool, I gotta deliver these flowers

973
00:59:06,250 --> 00:59:08,416
to some chick named Britney.

974
00:59:08,458 --> 00:59:10,791
I was wondering if you knew where she was.

975
00:59:10,833 --> 00:59:12,708
- I can take ’em. - Great.

976
00:59:13,958 --> 00:59:15,958
- Thanks, bro. - Yeah, you bet.

977
00:59:22,791 --> 00:59:25,500
(birds chirping)

978
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,500
(banjo music)

979
00:59:39,875 --> 00:59:41,083
- What can I do for you, boss?

980
00:59:41,125 --> 00:59:42,625
- Hey, man, so I totaled my car a few days ago,

981
00:59:42,625 --> 00:59:44,125
and it was dragged here.

982
00:59:44,125 --> 00:59:45,541
I was wondering if I could have a quick look at it.

983
00:59:47,083 --> 00:59:48,666
- Any particular reason?

984
00:59:49,666 --> 00:59:51,708
- Yeah, my brakes went out and I guess in all the confusion

985
00:59:51,750 --> 00:59:54,250
I didn’t really get a chance to look and see if...

986
00:59:54,250 --> 00:59:55,708
(laughing)

987
00:59:55,708 --> 00:59:58,416
- (Mechanic)You think somebody snipped ’em, don’t you?

988
00:59:58,458 --> 00:59:59,625
- Am I that obvious?

989
00:59:59,666 --> 01:00:01,666
- I get people in here every now and then

990
01:00:01,708 --> 01:00:03,333
thinking someone’s trying to knock ’em off,

991
01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:06,666
but I gotta tell you, brother, it doesn’t happen,

992
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:08,708
unless of course, you know, you’re fooling around

993
01:00:08,750 --> 01:00:09,958
with somebody’s wife.

994
01:00:09,958 --> 01:00:11,666
- This was a bad idea, but thank you very much.

995
01:00:11,666 --> 01:00:13,833
- Dude, it’s cool, it’s right out back.

996
01:00:13,833 --> 01:00:15,333
If you wanna look at it, we’ll go look at it.

997
01:00:15,375 --> 01:00:16,541
- All right, let’s do it. - Are you cool with that?

998
01:00:16,541 --> 01:00:17,500
All right, cool. - Thanks, man.

999
01:00:19,875 --> 01:00:22,791
(phone ringing)

1000
01:00:23,416 --> 01:00:25,250
- Sprinkling Can, where we grow memories.

1001
01:00:25,291 --> 01:00:28,208
This is Katie, how may I brighten your day?

1002
01:00:28,250 --> 01:00:30,083
- Yeah, hey there, this is Pastor James

1003
01:00:30,083 --> 01:00:31,541
with Life House Church.

1004
01:00:31,541 --> 01:00:32,416
How are you doing?

1005
01:00:33,625 --> 01:00:35,333
- Oh hi, Pastor James, how are you?

1006
01:00:35,708 --> 01:00:36,875
- Good, good.

1007
01:00:37,166 --> 01:00:39,375
Hey, I have a favor to ask of you.

1008
01:00:41,125 --> 01:00:43,791
- Yeah, absolutely, I’ll do what I can.

1009
01:00:43,791 --> 01:00:45,541
- Yeah, we have a staff member, Britney,

1010
01:00:45,541 --> 01:00:48,250
who’s been getting some deliveries from a coworker,

1011
01:00:48,291 --> 01:00:50,541
and we’re gonna need that to stop.

1012
01:00:52,041 --> 01:00:54,541
Could you please refuse any future orders

1013
01:00:54,583 --> 01:00:55,791
from Zach Reynolds?

1014
01:00:56,958 --> 01:00:59,500
- Wait, so there really is a Zach Reynolds?

1015
01:01:01,083 --> 01:01:05,125
- Yeah, yeah, he’s the guy that’s been ordering the flowers?

1016
01:01:05,166 --> 01:01:09,000
Zach Reynolds, 1010 Pleasant Oak Street.

1017
01:01:10,166 --> 01:01:12,250
- No, they’re being sent from a Zach Reynolds,

1018
01:01:12,291 --> 01:01:15,125
but that is not the name on the credit card,

1019
01:01:15,166 --> 01:01:17,416
and I don’t think that’s even the right address here.

1020
01:01:17,416 --> 01:01:18,541
Let me take a look.

1021
01:01:20,708 --> 01:01:23,875
Yeah, it’s being sent from 1006 Pleasant Oak Street,

1022
01:01:23,875 --> 01:01:26,375
which is probably next door.

1023
01:01:26,375 --> 01:01:28,666
Do you want me to go ahead and put a block on it?

1024
01:01:30,291 --> 01:01:31,083
Hello?

1025
01:01:33,958 --> 01:01:38,291
- Yes, yeah, please, thank you.

1026
01:01:43,083 --> 01:01:45,125
(scoffs)

1027
01:01:49,750 --> 01:01:52,541
- Step one, locate the brake line.

1028
01:01:52,541 --> 01:01:55,208
Usually, it’ll be right up under here.

1029
01:01:56,541 --> 01:01:58,291
Oh, that’s different, okay.

1030
01:01:58,333 --> 01:01:59,125
-  What?

1031
01:02:00,291 --> 01:02:02,916
(phone buzzing)

1032
01:02:04,625 --> 01:02:05,958
Hey, Evie.

1033
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,625
Amber?

1034
01:02:07,625 --> 01:02:09,708
No, no, I haven’t seen her.

1035
01:02:09,750 --> 01:02:10,583
What’s wrong?

1036
01:02:11,666 --> 01:02:13,208
- Well, it’s probably nothing,

1037
01:02:13,250 --> 01:02:15,125
but I was just talking to Amber about 10 minutes ago,

1038
01:02:15,125 --> 01:02:17,458
and she said she couldn’t find Alex.

1039
01:02:17,500 --> 01:02:19,041
She said she’d call me back when she found him,

1040
01:02:19,041 --> 01:02:20,750
but I still haven’t heard from her.

1041
01:02:21,666 --> 01:02:24,125
I just tried calling her back and she didn’t answer.

1042
01:02:24,666 --> 01:02:25,833
Have you heard anything?

1043
01:02:25,875 --> 01:02:26,916
- What, no!

1044
01:02:31,875 --> 01:02:34,875
- Hey, boss, might you have yourself an enemy?

1045
01:02:35,750 --> 01:02:36,958
- No, why?

1046
01:02:36,958 --> 01:02:38,166
- Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you,

1047
01:02:38,333 --> 01:02:40,291
but this thing’s cut clean.

1048
01:02:41,958 --> 01:02:43,583
- Evie, I gotta go.

1049
01:02:43,625 --> 01:02:44,541
Thank you for this.

1050
01:02:45,208 --> 01:02:47,666
- You better stop messing around with those married women.

1051
01:02:47,833 --> 01:02:49,833
There’s a lot of crazy dudes out there.

1052
01:02:50,958 --> 01:02:53,208
Wow. (chuckles)

1053
01:02:54,125 --> 01:02:56,250
- Alex, Alex!

1054
01:02:59,541 --> 01:03:02,250
(dramatic music)

1055
01:03:14,333 --> 01:03:15,166
(knocking)

1056
01:03:15,166 --> 01:03:16,458
Hello!

1057
01:03:16,458 --> 01:03:18,125
Hello, is anybody...

1058
01:03:22,375 --> 01:03:23,250
Alex?

1059
01:03:29,708 --> 01:03:30,541
Alex?

1060
01:03:50,666 --> 01:03:51,500
Alex?

1061
01:04:08,208 --> 01:04:10,083
Alex?

1062
01:04:20,083 --> 01:04:20,916
Alex?

1063
01:04:49,708 --> 01:04:51,375
- I was hoping you’d come.

1064
01:04:55,708 --> 01:04:57,375
- I’m looking for Alex.

1065
01:04:59,291 --> 01:05:01,750
- Oh, I wish you hadn’t seen that.

1066
01:05:03,458 --> 01:05:06,458
But you won’t tell anyone, will you?

1067
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:11,291
It will be our little secret.

1068
01:05:15,541 --> 01:05:16,375
- I won’t.

1069
01:05:17,541 --> 01:05:18,333
Have you seen Alex?

1070
01:05:18,375 --> 01:05:19,541
- Do you wanna watch?

1071
01:05:21,750 --> 01:05:26,750
I caught some great moments of you and Pastor Zach.

1072
01:05:27,458 --> 01:05:29,750
(eerily laughing)

1073
01:05:30,958 --> 01:05:33,041
You can learn a lot about someone

1074
01:05:34,333 --> 01:05:38,000
by watching them when they don’t know it.

1075
01:05:39,833 --> 01:05:43,166
Pastor Zach speaks very differently of me

1076
01:05:43,166 --> 01:05:45,416
when I’m not there.

1077
01:05:47,333 --> 01:05:49,500
I don’t think he likes me very much.

1078
01:05:54,666 --> 01:05:55,666
But not you.

1079
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:03,625
You stand up for me.

1080
01:06:06,416 --> 01:06:07,750
Mm, I like that.

1081
01:06:11,833 --> 01:06:13,333
(Alex giggling)

1082
01:06:13,333 --> 01:06:14,166
- Alex!

1083
01:06:22,083 --> 01:06:27,083
- 14 minutes and 37 seconds.

1084
01:06:27,541 --> 01:06:30,375
- Alex, we need to go home right now.

1085
01:06:30,666 --> 01:06:32,875
- But mom, we’re watching a movie.

1086
01:06:32,916 --> 01:06:34,666
Can we stay, please?

1087
01:06:34,666 --> 01:06:39,333
- It’s important to always know where Alex is.

1088
01:06:40,500 --> 01:06:45,708
They say it takes as little as six minutes

1089
01:06:46,833 --> 01:06:52,250
alone with a stranger for a child to be abused.

1090
01:06:53,375 --> 01:06:56,458
- Alex, come up the stairs now!

1091
01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:58,416
- You know where I heard that?

1092
01:06:59,250 --> 01:07:00,041
The news.

1093
01:07:01,916 --> 01:07:04,708
You know how I know it’s true?

1094
01:07:06,416 --> 01:07:08,125
Because they were talking about me.

1095
01:07:09,208 --> 01:07:11,708
(eerily laughing)

1096
01:07:11,708 --> 01:07:13,166
Isn’t that funny?

1097
01:07:13,166 --> 01:07:14,833
- Alex, let’s go.

1098
01:07:14,833 --> 01:07:16,750
- Just a minute. - Now!

1099
01:07:16,791 --> 01:07:22,375
- Six minutes away from my mother,

1100
01:07:24,208 --> 01:07:26,125
I was six years old at the time.

1101
01:07:27,333 --> 01:07:32,000
Six days away from my seventh birthday.

1102
01:07:33,541 --> 01:07:34,458
(snaps fingers)

1103
01:07:34,458 --> 01:07:38,583
Six, six, six.

1104
01:07:40,500 --> 01:07:43,250
I always figured that’s why they called it

1105
01:07:43,291 --> 01:07:44,791
the devil’s number.

1106
01:07:45,583 --> 01:07:48,416
(snaps fingers)

1107
01:07:48,416 --> 01:07:51,541
I don’t like talking about it much,

1108
01:07:53,833 --> 01:07:57,541
but I feel so close to you,

1109
01:07:59,833 --> 01:08:02,000
like I can tell you anything,

1110
01:08:06,500 --> 01:08:08,666
and you’ll still love me.

1111
01:08:11,250 --> 01:08:12,291
Bye, Alex.

1112
01:08:14,666 --> 01:08:16,041
Come back soon.

1113
01:08:22,750 --> 01:08:25,500
(dramatic music)

1114
01:08:35,541 --> 01:08:37,625
(grunts)

1115
01:08:51,166 --> 01:08:53,208
- I don’t want you to ever go over to a stranger’s house

1116
01:08:53,250 --> 01:08:55,291
without me again, do you understand?

1117
01:08:55,291 --> 01:08:56,583
- He’s not a stranger.

1118
01:08:56,625 --> 01:08:59,708
- Don’t go to anyone’s house without me.

1119
01:08:59,708 --> 01:09:00,791
- Why?

1120
01:09:00,833 --> 01:09:02,125
(knocking)

1121
01:09:02,125 --> 01:09:02,958
- Come here.

1122
01:09:07,541 --> 01:09:09,958
I want you to lock this door and don’t open it for anyone,

1123
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000
including me, okay?

1124
01:09:12,041 --> 01:09:13,666
- But why?

1125
01:09:14,958 --> 01:09:15,791
- I love you.

1126
01:09:30,083 --> 01:09:32,333
(knocking)

1127
01:09:34,250 --> 01:09:35,083
Who is it?

1128
01:09:39,291 --> 01:09:40,166
Who’s there?

1129
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:56,833
Hello?

1130
01:10:06,625 --> 01:10:07,750
(screams)

1131
01:10:07,750 --> 01:10:09,333
- Hi, Amber!

1132
01:10:09,333 --> 01:10:12,291
I’m sorry I startled you.

1133
01:10:12,333 --> 01:10:14,791
Please open the door, we need to talk.

1134
01:10:15,958 --> 01:10:17,458
- My husband’s on his way home from work.

1135
01:10:17,500 --> 01:10:18,458
He’ll be here any minute.

1136
01:10:18,458 --> 01:10:19,625
You need to go.

1137
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:21,666
- I just really need to talk to you.

1138
01:10:21,666 --> 01:10:23,875
- You really need to go home now.

1139
01:10:45,833 --> 01:10:47,166
- Mommy?

1140
01:10:47,208 --> 01:10:48,208
- It’s okay, Alex!

1141
01:10:53,291 --> 01:10:56,416
(intense music)

1142
01:10:56,416 --> 01:10:59,708
- I know you keep an extra key in the kitchen,

1143
01:10:59,750 --> 01:11:02,375
so I made a copy while you were out.

1144
01:11:02,375 --> 01:11:04,125
I hope you don’t mind.

1145
01:11:04,125 --> 01:11:06,000
- Please leave us alone.

1146
01:11:06,041 --> 01:11:09,791
- Okay, but you know, Amber, you don’t have to worry.

1147
01:11:09,791 --> 01:11:12,958
I would never hurt you, I just wanna talk.

1148
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,708
- I don’t feel like talking, please go now.

1149
01:11:15,708 --> 01:11:18,666
- Okay, but we’re still friends, right?

1150
01:11:18,666 --> 01:11:22,875
I hope this doesn’t make things awkward between us.

1151
01:11:22,916 --> 01:11:24,083
- Sure, yes, of course.

1152
01:11:25,208 --> 01:11:30,125
- Okay, okay, good, good.

1153
01:11:30,125 --> 01:11:33,958
I’ll leave, I’ll leave, okay.

1154
01:11:36,791 --> 01:11:41,416
Oh, I did, I brought you something.

1155
01:11:41,416 --> 01:11:43,750
It’s right... (growls)

1156
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:03,208
- Yes, I’d love to come in,

1157
01:12:05,083 --> 01:12:05,916
thank you.

1158
01:12:18,041 --> 01:12:20,291
- Come on, come on.

1159
01:12:20,333 --> 01:12:21,708
-  Thanks for calling the Reynolds.

1160
01:12:21,708 --> 01:12:23,125
Please leave a message.

1161
01:12:23,125 --> 01:12:24,250
(beep)

1162
01:12:24,250 --> 01:12:25,458
-  Amber, Amber,

1163
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:28,375
please, if you’re there, pick up now.

1164
01:12:28,375 --> 01:12:31,083
- Sorry, Pastor Zach, she’s unavailable.

1165
01:12:33,166 --> 01:12:35,833
- Amber, I need you to pick up the phone right now.

1166
01:12:38,041 --> 01:12:39,875
Okay, Amber, I’m gonna be there in five minutes.

1167
01:12:39,916 --> 01:12:40,916
I’ll be right there.

1168
01:12:42,416 --> 01:12:43,750
- Thanks for the tip.

1169
01:12:43,750 --> 01:12:45,416
Don’t wait up.

1170
01:12:49,958 --> 01:12:52,625
(car whooshing)

1171
01:13:01,583 --> 01:13:06,791
Hey, I gotta a crazy idea,

1172
01:13:08,083 --> 01:13:09,166
you wanna get married?

1173
01:13:11,791 --> 01:13:15,750
We can do it in the old city church

1174
01:13:16,958 --> 01:13:23,750
where Grandmamma and Pops got married.

1175
01:13:24,291 --> 01:13:26,083
They would like that very much.

1176
01:13:28,458 --> 01:13:29,291
You want to?

1177
01:13:31,083 --> 01:13:34,666
Yeah, me, too.

1178
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,166
(car screeching)

1179
01:13:42,208 --> 01:13:43,958
- Amber, Alex, Amber!

1180
01:13:46,333 --> 01:13:47,333
Amber, Alex!

1181
01:13:48,041 --> 01:13:49,208
- Daddy? - Yes.

1182
01:13:51,625 --> 01:13:53,208
Oh, thank God, you’re okay.

1183
01:13:53,250 --> 01:13:54,500
Where is mommy?

1184
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,208
- He took her to the old church.

1185
01:13:58,208 --> 01:13:59,333
- Who took her?

1186
01:14:00,125 --> 01:14:01,083
- The man next door.

1187
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,125
- Okay, come on, come on, come on.

1188
01:14:06,041 --> 01:14:07,541
- Alex, you had us a little worried.

1189
01:14:07,541 --> 01:14:08,250
Where’s Amber?

1190
01:14:08,250 --> 01:14:09,291
- I’m going to pick her up right now.

1191
01:14:09,291 --> 01:14:10,333
If you could just watch Alex-- - Yeah, sure.

1192
01:14:10,333 --> 01:14:10,958
- That would just be great.

1193
01:14:10,958 --> 01:14:12,125
- You know what, it’s a little cold out here,

1194
01:14:12,125 --> 01:14:13,875
how about we go get some hot chocolate, okay?

1195
01:14:27,458 --> 01:14:30,000
(gentle music)

1196
01:14:46,583 --> 01:14:47,750
- Isn’t this beautiful?

1197
01:14:50,916 --> 01:14:54,375
Come on, there’s more.

1198
01:14:56,125 --> 01:15:00,250
Grandmamma used to bring me every Sunday.

1199
01:15:06,875 --> 01:15:08,958
This was my classroom.

1200
01:15:13,875 --> 01:15:15,708
I liked the stories of Jesus.

1201
01:15:17,083 --> 01:15:18,166
They said he loved me,

1202
01:15:21,875 --> 01:15:24,208
but his people didn’t.

1203
01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:26,541
They said I was strange,

1204
01:15:29,916 --> 01:15:33,083
everyone except for Miss Hanson, my Sunday School teacher.

1205
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:36,875
She was nice,

1206
01:15:39,833 --> 01:15:40,666
like you.

1207
01:15:44,666 --> 01:15:50,333
Then she got married, she moved away.

1208
01:15:53,791 --> 01:15:55,666
I didn’t wanna come back here anymore.

1209
01:16:04,291 --> 01:16:06,958
(ominous music)

1210
01:16:21,958 --> 01:16:24,083
They used to chase me down these hallways.

1211
01:16:27,875 --> 01:16:28,791
I can still...

1212
01:16:31,208 --> 01:16:32,958
I can still hear them laughing at me.

1213
01:16:36,250 --> 01:16:39,208
I don’t know why they didn’t like me.

1214
01:16:42,291 --> 01:16:43,958
I guess I just didn’t fit in.

1215
01:16:56,541 --> 01:17:03,666
Oh yeah, imagine what people would think

1216
01:17:04,166 --> 01:17:06,041
if they saw me here with you.

1217
01:17:07,250 --> 01:17:09,750
They’d be so jealous!

1218
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,166
(eerily laughing)

1219
01:17:14,208 --> 01:17:16,000
Ready, you ready?

1220
01:17:16,458 --> 01:17:21,375
Come on, it’s okay, don’t worry.

1221
01:17:21,416 --> 01:17:23,333
It’s okay, it’s okay.

1222
01:17:23,333 --> 01:17:24,916
You don’t have to be scared.

1223
01:17:27,583 --> 01:17:28,416
- Let her go!

1224
01:17:32,583 --> 01:17:34,583
Amber, are you okay, has he hurt you?

1225
01:17:34,625 --> 01:17:35,833
- She doesn’t wanna be with you.

1226
01:17:35,875 --> 01:17:37,458
She doesn’t wanna be with you anymore

1227
01:17:37,458 --> 01:17:40,541
’cause she doesn’t like mean people.

1228
01:17:41,958 --> 01:17:43,333
We’re gonna be happy together.

1229
01:17:43,375 --> 01:17:44,541
We’re gonna have a happy life.

1230
01:17:44,583 --> 01:17:45,583
Go ahead, tell him.

1231
01:17:47,333 --> 01:17:48,333
Tell him.

1232
01:17:51,250 --> 01:17:52,500
You don’t wanna be with me?

1233
01:17:54,291 --> 01:17:55,625
Then nobody does.

1234
01:17:55,625 --> 01:17:57,666
(groans)

1235
01:18:03,125 --> 01:18:04,583
You win, Pastor Zach.

1236
01:18:06,875 --> 01:18:08,375
You always win.

1237
01:18:09,583 --> 01:18:12,916
Go ahead, I’d do it if the tables were turned.

1238
01:18:12,916 --> 01:18:14,083
There’s no witnesses.

1239
01:18:14,083 --> 01:18:17,083
No one will even know I’m gone.

1240
01:18:18,916 --> 01:18:20,583
- I’m not gonna shoot you.

1241
01:18:20,583 --> 01:18:23,541
- Oh, come on, drop the pastor act.

1242
01:18:23,541 --> 01:18:26,500
We both know who you really are.

1243
01:18:28,083 --> 01:18:30,625
- No, you know who I was.

1244
01:18:30,666 --> 01:18:32,166
That’s not me anymore.

1245
01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:33,833
God changed me, he can change you, too.

1246
01:18:33,875 --> 01:18:36,000
- You wanna change me so badly,

1247
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:37,541
you don’t even know who I am.

1248
01:18:38,916 --> 01:18:40,125
- Of course, I do.

1249
01:18:40,166 --> 01:18:41,333
- Really?

1250
01:18:41,375 --> 01:18:42,541
What’s my name?

1251
01:18:47,041 --> 01:18:49,041
- I don’t think you ever told me.

1252
01:18:50,458 --> 01:18:51,625
- You never asked.

1253
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:54,458
Nobody ever asks.

1254
01:18:56,166 --> 01:18:57,416
You didn’t care about me.

1255
01:18:57,458 --> 01:18:58,750
I wasn’t a person, I was just a project,

1256
01:18:58,750 --> 01:19:01,916
just another notch on your pulpit.

1257
01:19:04,375 --> 01:19:07,125
- I’m not perfect, you’re right,

1258
01:19:08,583 --> 01:19:10,458
but that doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love you perfectly.

1259
01:19:11,791 --> 01:19:13,583
He knows your name and he loves you.

1260
01:19:16,250 --> 01:19:17,333
- No, he doesn’t.

1261
01:19:19,916 --> 01:19:21,791
- He does love you.

1262
01:19:21,958 --> 01:19:24,708
I know it doesn’t always feel like he does, but it’s true.

1263
01:19:24,708 --> 01:19:26,000
- No, he doesn’t. - Zach.

1264
01:19:29,750 --> 01:19:30,916
- It’s okay.

1265
01:19:31,416 --> 01:19:33,833
(dramatic music)

1266
01:19:34,083 --> 01:19:36,916
-  No, no, no.

1267
01:19:37,416 --> 01:19:38,416
-  He wants to be

1268
01:19:38,416 --> 01:19:39,291
in a relationship with you.

1269
01:19:39,291 --> 01:19:41,166
- No, nobody does.

1270
01:19:41,166 --> 01:19:42,416
- Run!

1271
01:19:42,416 --> 01:19:44,666
(growling)

1272
01:19:48,250 --> 01:19:51,083
(heavy breathing)

1273
01:20:02,625 --> 01:20:04,791
(screams)

1274
01:20:18,291 --> 01:20:19,458
(gasps)

1275
01:20:19,458 --> 01:20:25,458
- Hey, are we getting married today or what?

1276
01:20:26,833 --> 01:20:30,416
Pastor Zach is out of the picture.

1277
01:20:31,958 --> 01:20:34,291
There’s nothing holding us back now.

1278
01:20:34,541 --> 01:20:36,166
(fist thudding)

1279
01:20:36,166 --> 01:20:37,375
(groaning)

1280
01:20:37,375 --> 01:20:39,750
- What did you do to Zach?

1281
01:20:39,750 --> 01:20:40,916
What did you do to him?

1282
01:20:40,916 --> 01:20:41,541
(fist thudding)

1283
01:20:50,458 --> 01:20:51,250
Zach?

1284
01:20:56,041 --> 01:20:56,833
Zach?

1285
01:21:00,833 --> 01:21:03,500
(ominous music)

1286
01:21:04,666 --> 01:21:06,708
(thudding)

1287
01:21:06,750 --> 01:21:09,416
(fist thudding)

1288
01:21:17,666 --> 01:21:18,500
(groans)

1289
01:21:18,666 --> 01:21:21,500
(heavy breathing)

1290
01:21:31,583 --> 01:21:33,583
- Wake up, dear friend, come on, please.

1291
01:21:37,250 --> 01:21:39,916
- Do you think God is mad at me?

1292
01:21:50,708 --> 01:21:52,875
- No, come on, come on.

1293
01:21:52,875 --> 01:21:56,500
No, no, no, hey, come on, just breathe.

1294
01:21:56,541 --> 01:21:58,500
Keep breathing, come on, keep breathing.

1295
01:22:03,916 --> 01:22:06,666
(dramatic music)

1296
01:22:37,416 --> 01:22:39,166
-  Rob Thompson is gone.

1297
01:22:40,666 --> 01:22:42,583
This is where I’m supposed to celebrate

1298
01:22:43,791 --> 01:22:45,875
or feel some sense of relief, but I don’t.

1299
01:22:47,291 --> 01:22:50,958
I was right about him, but he was right about me, too.

1300
01:22:52,041 --> 01:22:53,208
I didn’t care about him.

1301
01:22:54,416 --> 01:22:58,875
I thought I did, but I didn’t, not really.

1302
01:22:59,583 --> 01:23:01,500
He was a project to me.

1303
01:23:02,375 --> 01:23:05,000
Everyone always has been to some degree.

1304
01:23:06,125 --> 01:23:09,416
Do I even know how to love someone for real, like Jesus?

1305
01:23:10,791 --> 01:23:12,458
Or has my whole life been a show?

1306
01:23:30,666 --> 01:23:33,375
- You can’t keep beating yourself up forever over this.

1307
01:23:34,416 --> 01:23:35,541
Don’t go.

1308
01:23:36,625 --> 01:23:39,291
Let us love you and Amber back to restoration.

1309
01:23:40,166 --> 01:23:41,333
- No, I can’t.

1310
01:23:44,375 --> 01:23:45,583
How can I teach?

1311
01:23:45,583 --> 01:23:46,916
How can I tell them to love their neighbors

1312
01:23:46,958 --> 01:23:47,958
after what I did?

1313
01:23:48,666 --> 01:23:50,916
- What happened that night was not your fault.

1314
01:23:51,625 --> 01:23:53,166
You didn’t have a choice, Zach.

1315
01:23:54,500 --> 01:23:56,958
- No, but I made a lot of choices that led up to that.

1316
01:23:58,416 --> 01:24:00,250
I didn’t love my neighbor.

1317
01:24:00,833 --> 01:24:03,375
I’m not a good person, not good enough to preach.

1318
01:24:04,500 --> 01:24:08,250
- Neither am I, none of us are, you get that?

1319
01:24:09,125 --> 01:24:11,583
I mean, we’re all in need of God’s grace.

1320
01:24:14,208 --> 01:24:19,041
- I’m the pastor, I’m not supposed to need his grace.

1321
01:24:19,583 --> 01:24:22,958
- You’re not getting into heaven without it, brother.

1322
01:24:26,083 --> 01:24:27,250
- Take it easy, pastor.

1323
01:24:30,833 --> 01:24:32,833
(sighs)

1324
01:24:45,125 --> 01:24:48,125
(machines whirring)

1325
01:24:51,250 --> 01:24:54,625
- (Mechanic) Break time.

1326
01:25:24,708 --> 01:25:25,916
- What’s up, brother?

1327
01:25:25,916 --> 01:25:26,875
My name’s Jonas.

1328
01:25:29,708 --> 01:25:30,541
- Zach.

1329
01:25:30,916 --> 01:25:33,041
- What you got there, Zach, baloney?

1330
01:25:33,750 --> 01:25:36,083
Man, I haven’t had a baloney sandwich in years.

1331
01:25:37,875 --> 01:25:39,750
You know, I been watching you, brother.

1332
01:25:39,791 --> 01:25:41,208
You’re the hardest working dude in this place,

1333
01:25:41,208 --> 01:25:43,750
but I never see you smile or talk to anybody.

1334
01:25:43,791 --> 01:25:44,666
What’s your story?

1335
01:25:47,625 --> 01:25:49,750
- I don’t really have one.

1336
01:25:49,958 --> 01:25:52,208
- I doubt that, we all got a story.

1337
01:25:53,583 --> 01:25:55,166
You know what I see when I look at you?

1338
01:25:57,083 --> 01:25:58,083
- No.

1339
01:25:58,458 --> 01:26:00,416
- I see someone who’s hurting,

1340
01:26:00,416 --> 01:26:02,125
someone who’s tried to do the right thing with their life,

1341
01:26:02,166 --> 01:26:05,250
but for some reason, you just keep coming up short.

1342
01:26:05,958 --> 01:26:07,583
You know, maybe you’ve missed the mark

1343
01:26:07,625 --> 01:26:09,458
and now you feel hopeless and lost,

1344
01:26:09,458 --> 01:26:11,625
like God couldn’t possibly love you anymore.

1345
01:26:12,750 --> 01:26:14,583
Yeah, I’ve felt that way, too.

1346
01:26:16,416 --> 01:26:18,958
But you know, God doesn’t love like we do.

1347
01:26:20,125 --> 01:26:23,250
He doesn’t disown us, he doesn’t cheat on us,

1348
01:26:23,250 --> 01:26:26,166
he doesn’t divorce us when we let him down.

1349
01:26:26,208 --> 01:26:27,375
His love is greater than that.

1350
01:26:27,375 --> 01:26:28,541
- No, you don’t know me.

1351
01:26:29,500 --> 01:26:30,500
You don’t know what I’ve done.

1352
01:26:30,500 --> 01:26:32,166
God couldn’t use me.

1353
01:26:32,166 --> 01:26:35,750
- Zach, I’m looking at me and I’m looking at you.

1354
01:26:38,875 --> 01:26:41,375
I bet my peanut butter sandwich against your baloney

1355
01:26:41,416 --> 01:26:42,916
that I’ve done a lot worse,

1356
01:26:44,625 --> 01:26:46,291
and he uses me every day.

1357
01:26:47,291 --> 01:26:48,541
You don’t have to be perfect

1358
01:26:48,541 --> 01:26:50,916
to be loved by God and to serve him.

1359
01:26:51,625 --> 01:26:54,541
You just have to be willing and obedient.

1360
01:26:57,875 --> 01:26:59,375
- Why are you telling me this?

1361
01:27:00,875 --> 01:27:02,666
- Because you’re my neighbor,

1362
01:27:02,958 --> 01:27:04,416
and God’s real big on his kids

1363
01:27:04,416 --> 01:27:05,916
reaching out to our neighbors.

1364
01:27:09,208 --> 01:27:11,375
You just got the call back brother.

1365
01:27:11,375 --> 01:27:15,541
The question is, what are you gonna do about it?

1366
01:27:18,208 --> 01:27:20,750
(gentle music)

1367
01:27:57,875 --> 01:28:00,041
(knocking)

1368
01:28:02,250 --> 01:28:06,750
(gentle music)

1369
01:31:45,958 --> 01:31:48,500
(upbeat music)
