I mean nothing.

Hey Dick.

Angie?

What have you been at since the past couple of weeks?

I've been here.

Where'd you get this?

Found it.

You know, those are the run we got next week.

I need to know that you're going to follow orders this time.

Bob, I'm not going to be there.

I got a thing next weekend with Jackie.

You know your girl don't come before us.

Neither does this.

You know, some of us are getting a little worried.

You mean Ringo?

I mean me.

Can we talk about this?

I'm done talking.

The more you talk, the more you take away... I am not taking anything from

you! Liar! Get back in the truck!

Shut up! Just get in the truck and go!

Get away from that truck!

Move! Hey! Hey!

Shut up!

I don't know what's going on here, but I'm pretty sure there's a better way to

handle it than this.

Yeah, you'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

Kid, you are not!

You're a thief!

I'm not going to listen to this. I'm out of here. Good.

Go.

And you better stop going after my contract, Larry. Wake up!

Hey, and what's your deal?

Rolling up in other people's business like that.

Looked like it was going to be police business to me, so I was trying to help.

Yeah, well, I got a right to be angry.

Somebody carving out hunks of your living will do that to you, all right?

What would Jesus do?

What?

I don't know.

Does Jesus have any dirty competitors in the woodworking business?

Not sure, but I doubt he was chasing them around the oxcart with a hammer in

his hand.

Suppose not.

You done preaching?

Yeah. Hey, do you do all this by yourself?

I had help.

They all quit.

And went to go work for Lane.

Does he pay more or yell less?

Didn't Jesus say something about not getting mouthy with people?

Actually, everything I read, Jesus got mouthy most of the time.

Look, I could use a worker.

Need a job?

Yeah. Would it come with a dry place to pitch my bedroll?

Yeah. We can make something work.

Excellent.

Well, look, I'm back over there.

I'll head that way.

You can stay in here.

I'll be here at 5 to get started for the day.

I'll be ready.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Haley. I'm Joseph's wife.

My husband just informed me that the new hire is going to be staying in the shop,

so I made you a sandwich.

Oh, thank you. Yeah. I'm Simon. Nice to meet you.

And I'm sorry the accommodations aren't better, but there's just not a lot of

room at the house right now.

That's great.

I could get you some more blankets.

I'm good.

It's much better than the side of the road.

You're a Christian?

I try to be.

Good.

That's great. You know, Joseph could really use some more Christian friends.

Well, he could use some more friends, period, but... Well, have a good day

tomorrow.

You too.

Thanks.

Oh, um... One thing about Joseph.

I don't know if you've noticed, but he can be a little honest and

somewhat fiery.

I mean, he's a good man.

And he doesn't mean anything by it. It's just how he is.

But it can be a good thing. I mean, it's the reason I married him, despite my

father.

I mean, we got his blessing and everything, but maybe he thought he was

going to get more out of that deal than he did.

Sorry. I will leave you.

Just give him a chance.

That's all I'm saying.

I will.

You're not going to pray before you eat?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm leaving.

There has to be directions in here somewhere.

Your wife's pretty nice.

When did you meet my wife?

You brought me supper last night in the shop.

Sometimes too nice.

Speaking of which...

Haley wanted me to invite you to dinner.

Just make sure you clean up.

I don't want you tracking mud all over the house.

Roger that, boss. I'll clean up.

Morning. Morning, game. How you doing?

Just fine. How are you this morning? Good.

I got myself a new pickup truck. What do you think about that?

Oh, yeah?

I would have gone with a diesel myself, but... Say, uh, you ever come to the

decision on the plumbing for those new tanks you're sending out to Digby's?

Yes, I did. I decided I'm going to go ahead and go with Lane on this one.

Lane?

My bid was lower than his. You know it was.

Did he undercut me?

Joseph, no. No, he didn't.

The fact is, he's got the manpower and he's got the workforce to get it done

quick. I can get the job done in three days. You know that, Gabe. Maybe next

time.

I'll talk to you later.

That's another job Lane Sweet talked away from.

I guess if you want shoddy work, you're going to get it, Gabe.

He's doing it on purpose, I'm telling you.

Could have been a little more polite.

A lot of help.

Now you sound like my wife.

Say, how long did you two talk for last night, anyway?

I'm just saying, man, you could have...

Told him his truck looked nice, that's all.

He more like Lane.

That's what you're saying.

I don't really know Lane that well.

Paul, all talk, no effort.

People should hire me because I do good work, not because I lie and tell people

how pretty their new truck is.

You'd like to think so, but you should have just said nothing.

Wait, wait.

You think Gabe decided to go with Lane just now because of what I said?

I just know the Bible says to be wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove.

Harmless as a dove.

Like that's a description for you.

Simon.

The dove.

Let's get to work, man.

Thank you, Lord, for this food and for all that you've given us.

And thank you for my husband and all of his hard work.

And thank you for our new friend Simon and all of the work that he's providing.

And we pray for my parents too, Lord, that you will be with them also and help

ease this divide between us.

Amen.

Amen.

So how was work? Did you get along?

Yeah, yeah, we're going to go on fine. Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Simon, do you have a church?

I've never had a church.

Well, you are more than welcome to come with us tomorrow.

Right, Joseph?

You can come with us to church.

Sure.

You can come to church with us.

That'd be great.

Sweetie. Hey, Mom. How are you doing?

Good, good.

Good.

My favorite son-in-law.

How are you doing, Miss Mary? Good, thank you.

Oh, Mom, this is Simon. He was just passing through when Joseph decided to

give him a couple days' work.

Great.

We don't do that. Here, give me a hug.

Give me a hug.

Yay. Did Dad come?

He's smoothing in the sanctuary with some of the men.

You want to join them?

Simon, do you have a church?

I haven't been to church since I was just a little kid, actually.

Well, maybe something really good will happen to you today.

Princess, how are you?

How's my favorite daughter?

Good.

Joseph, staying busy?

Trying to.

Thelma's working for me now.

Good.

That's good.

Let's go find our seat.

Well, praise the Lord.

You may be seated.

Wasn't that a dynamic praise and worship service?

Amen.

Thank you, Lord.

How many of you, I see some new faces out there.

How many of you were mightily used of the Lord last week?

I want to talk to you this morning about persecution.

Is there anyone in here this morning that on your way to church, somebody

held you up? Somebody actually threatened you because you were going to

church?

Or is there anybody in here this morning that somebody stole your Bible, your

sword, your weapon of choice?

Or is there somebody in here, the question is, you were threatened because

you used the name of Jesus.

And the Bible says that demons tremble at the sound of that name, Jesus.

No?

No one?

Brother, grab that Bible you've been hiding.

Come on, witness to me.

Tell me how God is going to save me.

You've been reading that book for weeks now.

So it should be easy for you.

You really going to preach to me?

You really think you and that book and God is going to save me?

Brother, you keep reading this book like you're doing.

You keep thinking that God is going to forgive you.

That book has got your head twisted.

You keep reading that thing the way you're doing.

We're going to lose you.

Just like we did Saul and Riggs.

And I really don't want that to happen.

Throw it.

Throw it now in the fire, brother, because you can't have both.

You can't have that book and us.

You're right.

I can't have both.

You better think about that book real good.

Don't take too long, man.

Well, let me tell you something.

Paul says that our light affliction worketh a far more exceedingly way of

glory while we don't look at the things that are seen, but at the things that

are not seen.

Church, I want to tell you something.

We have affliction because we live for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

Jesus said, if they persecuted me, what do you think they're going to do to you?

He died for us.

Shed his blood on Calvary so that we can be set free.

But we must suffer in this life if we want to reign with him in the next life.

God is a good God.

But through our suffering, Paul said, it's only light and it's only temporary,

but through our suffering church, God strengthens us and makes me more like

himself.

So if you love that and you believe that, say amen.

Well, get your books out. We're going to go to the book of Acts and we're going

to talk about Jesus.

Thanks for coming. God bless you.

Thank God I had the pastor talking to you.

Really? Because I thought he was talking to you.

Thanks for coming. Thank you.

God bless you. Thanks for coming.

Good to see you.

Newcomer.

You think God really forgives everybody for everything?

Absolutely.

God is a loving God, a forgiving God. His whole purpose for sending Jesus down

here was to forgive us, to draw us closer to him.

Yes, he forgives.

You haven't met everyone.

He's not a respectful person.

He loves us with all of his heart.

Even scripture says that if we will ask him, he'll forgive us. Thank you,

Pastor. God forgives.

Lane,

you all right?

Yeah, he's just a cocky kid.

Right.

It was my ride.

Keep coming up.

You knew that was going to set him off.

You just can't control yourself.

Wasn't that bad.

Would you have said that to him?

Of course I would.

You all right, Dad?

I'm all right, Princess.

You say you're sorry.

He won't listen. Say it.

Joseph, I'm sorry.

What did I tell you?

Listen, we're going to head on home now, so I'll see you later, Princess.

Bye, Dad.

You know I hate when you call me that.

All right, dope's there.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you.

Why are they like this?

I'm sorry?

They used to get along, you know? But Joseph, he just gets so angry.

Not at me. He never gets angry at me. And honestly, I wish he would, because

at least that's something that I could fix.

But his dad, too. I mean, he always tries to find your line. You know, just

that... that he can take advantage of.

But that's just who he is.

But with Joseph, he just gets so angry.

In my experience, if someone doesn't want to change, there's only one that

will change it.

I know that, and I've been praying to God every day that he will, but

nothing's happening.

And I'm afraid things are going to go too far before they do.

I'm sorry.

It'll take us a couple days for that one.

Okay, that's good.

After that, I think we can probably work in a couple more weeks.

Is that Joseph?

Yes, it is.

Calm down.

Hey, Joseph.

What's going on, bud?

That's what you get.

I told you to go after my contract. That's what you're going to get. I'm not

coming after your contracts.

That's right, Joseph. He's just here visiting.

I'm calling the sheriff.

Call him.

You need my

blessing

for that.

Then make it easy and give it to me.

You know what else we're going to need back too.

I don't keep what's not mine.

Everything we've done for you, it had nothing dozing.

Read one book and you decide to throw all that away.

You swore and vote to us.

Can't just walk away from that on the word of some long-haired, long-dead

hippie.

Brother, we got a word for people like you.

Don't do that.

Hey!

You can do what you want.

The sheriff's department just called.

Is it as bad as they say?

My dad's pressing due charges and we're not going to have the money for bail.

You're doing Joseph's job for him?

As long as I can.

We need your help.

Okay.

Heard you've been keeping up on my job.

Didn't make any mistakes, did you?

I heard Lane dropped the charges.

Yeah?

What of it?

Your wife and mother-in-law. They want you two to talk.

That's not going to happen.

He's in the house.

What?

I'm not going in there.

Craig, you don't have a choice.

What does that mean?

Sit here, brother.

I bet you're wondering why we're here today.

So he explained to Joseph how wrong he was?

No, dear.

You guys have been just so hard-hearted toward one another.

No forgiveness.

No letting go.

You're just like Jonah. You are running from the very best things that are good

for you.

Well, here today, he's going to deal with both of you.

And we're going to use him.

So, what do you have to say for yourself?

I'm not real fond of getting punched by my son-in-law.

Well, I'm not real fond of my father-in-law taking work away from me.

That is not why I was there.

Dad, we all know that you don't do anything unless you're getting something

out of it. What's that?

She's not wrong.

How am I the bad guy?

You have built a wall, a wall that you've not even let me get past. And it

is plastered with compliments and charm and flattery and gifts just to hide your

motivation on the other side.

You got that right.

I'll deal with you in a minute, young man.

Why can't you be honest?

I am honest.

We have been married for 32 years. And I am a long suffering woman. Because I

love you.

You will answer that question.

Or I'm going to let Simon.

Let Joseph go.

And you.

Always jump into conclusions.

Acting before you think.

Did you not think you were going to lose jobs over what you did?

You're going to raise your kids that way?

They're going to get mud on the carpet? What, you're going to go smash their

tree house?

You need to be honest.

And you just need to stop letting your emotions control your talk.

So let's start with why you're taking jobs away from Joseph.

Yeah, Dad.

Because... I wanted him to go back to work for me.

Right, like I'm going to come back and work for you after all. Because I was

going to give you the business.

But you went out and started one of your own just to compete with me.

That's not why I did it.

I wanted my own thing, my own way.

If you were going to give me this... If you were planning on giving me the

business, then maybe you should have given me more responsibility instead of

treating me like some 14-year-old kid.

So how are you two going to reconcile this?

Let me go, Simon.

Let me go.

You think you're different than the rest of us, Simon?

You're not.

You think Jesus loves you?

Ringo, Ringo, please.

No, no, no, no.

Simon.

You go through that door.

No! He ain't gonna leave like this.

Stop.

Please.

Go through that door.

Turn your back on the only man who'll ever accept the monster you are.

Do you like being angry all the time?

Of course not.

Then why do it?

Did you know?

That you was planning on giving me the business?

No.

You think I wouldn't have told you that?

But you figured as much?

Yeah.

It's not hard when you're not angry all the time.

What do you want?

I am sorry that I got angry and punched you in the face.

It's your turn, dear.

I'm sorry I held you back when you worked for me.

And after.

If you'd like, maybe... Maybe.

Would you like to handle the service part of the company?

I get to do the work my way, then?

Yeah.

But I talk to the clients.

Heading out?

I am.

Got somebody to find.

You be good out there.

Oh, he better.

I made this for you. Should make for a couple decent meals for your back-to

-road food.

Thank you.

If you're ever passing through, be sure to stop in, right?

I will do.

God bless you both.

Lord, thank you for this food.

Thank you for those that you put in my path every day.

Lord, most of all, thank you for using someone like me that doesn't even

deserve your love.

Amen.
