[00:17:53]>> Yes. I just wanted to see how you're settling in.

[00:17:56]>> Yeah. Well, um, it is, uh, it's been wonderful. Megan and I are feeling right at home and got a wonderful reception from the congregation on Sunday after the sermon. So, it's been a really wonderful experience. Thank you.

[00:18:07]>> Glad to hear it. Glad to hear it.

[00:18:10]So, look, since you're a first time pastor, I thought I would let you know a little bit about well, our vision for the church.

[00:18:19]>> Absolutely. Yeah.

[00:18:20]>> You see, when our old pastor left, the elder board wanted to find somebody who could well keep things moving around here.

[00:18:27]>> Absolutely.

[00:18:28]>> I mean, this church has been around a very long time, and the congregation feels safe and comfortable in the way we do things.

[00:18:35]>> Sure. Sure. So, we want to do whatever we can to help carry that on, not shake things up.

[00:18:42]>> Can I count on you?

[00:18:44]>> Absolutely. You you you hired the right man for the job.

[00:18:47]>> Glad to hear it. Okay. Well, I'll get out of your hair. And oh, I'm also really looking forward to hearing how that Wednesday night Bible study goes.

[00:18:54]>> Me, too.

[00:18:56]>> Okay.

[00:18:56]>> All right. Hey, thanks for stopping by, George.

[00:18:58]>> You're welcome.

[00:19:16]Hey, I thought that was you up here.

[00:19:19]>> Hey, >> last night was fun.

[00:19:25]>> Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty cool.

[00:19:28]>> What'd you reading?

[00:19:30]>> Some book someone threw out, man.

[00:19:31]Nothing special.

[00:19:33]>> Okay.

[00:19:34]>> It's called the truth within yourself.

[00:19:40]>> Sounds deep.

[00:19:42]>> Something like that.

[00:19:45]>> Was it good?

[00:19:48]>> It wants to be good.

[00:19:52]>> You're something else, Sam.

[00:19:54]>> Yeah. Why is that?

[00:19:56]>> It's just not like anyone around here.

[00:19:58]>> How so? You're always looking for something.

[00:20:04]>> Yeah, I guess.

[00:20:42]>> [sighs] >> Hey, come on in.

[00:20:57]>> So good to see you. Good to see you, too.

[00:20:58]>> Please. Um, make yourself at home. I just have to finish something.

[00:21:03]>> Thanks.

[00:21:43]I'm so happy you could come over.

[00:21:45]>> Me, too. It's nice to meet another woman who's actually my age in this little town.

[00:21:51]>> You're telling me. [laughter] >> Um, by the way, would you like some tea?

[00:21:54]>> I would love some. Okay, I'll be right back. Great.

[00:22:07]>> I love this photo.

[00:22:08]>> Oh, thank you. That's from our honeymoon.

[00:22:11]>> You guys are perfect.

[00:22:13]>> I [laughter] don't know about that, but we were and are very happy.

[00:22:16]>> How long have you two been together?

[00:22:18]>> Goodness, it's been um six years next month. It's crazy. Time flies. But you want to know the funny thing?

[00:22:26]>> What's that?

[00:22:27]>> He still makes me laugh like that all the time. [laughter] We're still pretty crazy in love. It's a little ridiculous.

[00:22:34]>> There was a time when Chris and I looked just like that.

[00:22:36]>> Wait, what do you mean? You don't feel like that anymore? You guys look happy.

[00:22:40]>> Oh, no. Chris and I are very much still in love.

[00:22:45]>> But it's just been a little bit of a challenge, you know, settling in. I mean, that's, you know, only natural.

[00:22:55]>> Yeah. No, of course that makes sense.

[00:22:57]>> Yeah. I think he's just, you know, wanting to make a good first impression, making sure that everything works, >> right? Right. And I understand, but how are you?

[00:23:08]>> I'm fine. You know, everyone has been super welcoming.

[00:23:13]>> Just fine. [laughter] [snorts] >> I'm I'm I'm hanging in there.

[00:23:19]Um, I don't think I really understood what it meant to be a pastor's wife when we met in college.

[00:23:30]>> Oh, yeah. That would be a lot a lot to deal with. But what's what's your story?

[00:23:36]I don't know. Tell me.

[00:23:38]>> Well, I mean, it's it's kind of a cliche. Um, well, I I I grew up in a really small town like this one, and you know, I never thought that I would come back to a place like this, but here I am.

[00:23:52]>> I'm glad. [laughter] >> And um, you know, I knew that I wanted something big for myself, but I didn't really know what that looked like. And then I met Chris in school, and he was unlike all the other guys. you know, he had a vision for his life and he was such a great encourager. Like he he was always rooting for you, you know, even when you weren't rooting for yourself. I was so attractive and he um you know, he's a pastor's son, so his dad was a pastor and his dad's dad was a pastor and he just wanted to >> really continue this legacy, you know, >> right? and follow this vision for his life and I wanted to be part of that. It was so exciting and >> um you know so and we've always been so close.

[00:24:52]>> Do you not feel like you are now?

[00:24:54]>> No, I do. It's just that he I think sometimes he's just kind of hiding behind this mask like he's scared to show the world who he really is, you know, and no one can really see him, but I can tell that something is going on. And maybe it's just because he wants to make a good impression or because he's, you know, a firsttime pastor or what, but But I'm afraid that he will get caught up in this image and not really know how to escape it and that I won't be able to live up to it and that I think I won't be enough for him.

[00:25:50]>> No. Oh, that is crazy talk. Seriously, that's crazy. And I'm sure he loves you so much. It's probably the stress of a a new job and a new place. That's a lot.

[00:25:59]>> You're You're right. I I'm I'm probably totally overreacting and that's not what he needs right now.

[00:26:05]>> Well, maybe. But I mean, he needs to be able to say how you feel and maybe he needs to hear it.

[00:26:12]>> I'm sorry for, you know, pouring all my stuff on you.

[00:26:15]>> Oh, [laughter] no, no, no. Seriously, you're great. Are you kidding? I am so happy to have another girlfriend that's under the age of 65 in this town. So, we're going to be good friends. You don't have a choice.

[00:26:26]>> When did you become such a good therapist?

[00:26:28]>> Oh, well, when you've grown up the same town your whole life and you've gone to the same small little church, you kind of get good at listening and reading people cuz there's not much else to do.

[00:26:40]>> Well, I think you have discovered your calling.

[00:26:43]>> Thank [laughter] you. Um, by the way, do you eat gluten?

[00:26:47]>> Um, yes.

[00:26:48]Good. I never know with out of town people these days. Um, would you like some freshly baked cookies?

[00:26:55]>> Goodness. Yes.

[00:26:57]>> Okay. Okay. I thought you could use a couple. I'll be right back.

[00:27:00]>> Okay.

[00:27:20]Ha, there he is. My man. Dude, you coming tonight? It should be lit, man.

[00:27:26]We got a handle. We're going to need your help, bro.

[00:27:30]>> You crazy, bro. Hey, you know what, Mike? That sounds fun and all, but man, I need to rest up, bro. I got to get through the rest of this week, dude.

[00:27:42]>> All right, man. That's cool. Yeah.

[00:27:45]>> Take it easy, man.

[00:27:46]>> All right, man.

[00:27:47]>> Have fun. Be safe, bro.

[00:28:37]What's up, man?

[00:29:08]>> Uh, hi. Can Can I help you?

[00:30:40]>> Hey, I honestly have no idea. I'm just I'm just hoping I'm doing what they want me to.

[00:30:49]>> I'm sure you're doing great.

[00:30:52]>> Well, it's important that they like me and, you know, for us. So, >> Well, I like you. [laughter] >> Thank you. But, you know, it's important what they think. So, >> I know. I know. I'm I'm just >> Hey, Megan. I um I I'm so sorry. I I um I have to I got a lot of work to do. Um just get ready for ready for Sunday. Do you mind if I kind of just focus a little bit?

[00:32:01]>> A meeting?

[00:32:02]>> Yeah. Nothing big.

[00:32:08]>> Okay. Well, I was thinking that maybe you could come over tonight and watch some TV. Could see what happens after that.

[00:32:17]>> Yeah, that sounds great. But it's just >> What is it?

[00:32:23]>> Look, Ash, I've been reading some stuff, man, and I just want to respect you the way you deserve.

[00:32:37]Look who's all of a sudden decided to become a saint.

[00:32:40]>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm no saint.

[00:32:45]>> But I'm definitely sorting some stuff out in my head.

[00:32:51]>> Well, when you figure it out, let me know. Okay.

[00:34:07]All right. Um so, [clears throat] um I'd like to share a little story and we will jump right into it.

[00:34:16]>> [snorts] >> Um, I I used to when I was a young boy, I used to I used to think that um I could never grow up to be something great because I didn't believe.

[00:34:33]>> Thank you so much. You're welcome.

[00:34:46]Chris, great service.

[00:34:47]>> Oh, thank you so much. I hope so.

[00:34:49]>> We really enjoyed it. In fact, if things keep going the way they have been, we'd like to make this a permanent thing.

[00:34:56]>> That would be wonderful.

[00:34:57]>> We'd love that.

[00:34:58]>> Great. Great. Chris, could I speak to you for a moment? Just really quick.

[00:35:01]>> Of course. Of course.

[00:35:05]>> Hey, can I say hi again? Hi. How are you? You know, Chris, part of being a pastor is uh watching out for your congregation and keeping them safe from, you know, unwanted [clears throat] characters.

[00:35:20]So, I'm going to leave it up to you to well, do the right thing. Can I count on you?

[00:35:28]>> Yeah. All right.

[00:35:39]Yo. Hey, Pastor Chris.

[00:35:41]>> Hey. Hey. How's it going? From Bible study, right?

[00:35:43]>> Yes, [music] sir.

[00:35:44]>> Remind me your name again.

[00:35:45]>> Um, Sam.

[00:35:47]>> Sam. Sam. Uh, Sam, you've been in town long.

[00:35:52]>> Yes, sir. For a while now.

[00:35:53]>> Okay. Okay. And can I ask what uh what brought you in here today?

[00:35:58]>> Well, I'm kind of curious. I want to know what this [music] is about, what you're about. Yeah. Well, we are a community of people just trying [music] to serve the Lord.

[00:36:08]>> Huh.

[00:36:09]>> I find that interesting.

[00:36:11]>> Yeah. You know, um, our congregation [music] has come to expect something kind of particular in their house of worship and and I'm really trying to give that to them.

[00:36:23]What does that mean?

[00:36:26]>> Listen, Sam. Um, church isn't for everyone.

[00:36:35]like for me.

[00:36:37]>> Yeah. You know, maybe this just isn't the right place or fit for you right now.

[00:36:41]>> You know what? I better get going. Uh, thank you for your sermon.

[00:36:45]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:36:45]>> Um, probably should give [music] this back to you.

[00:36:48]>> Do you know what? It's all yours. Keep it on the house.

[00:36:56]>> Hey, thanks for coming though. Okay.

[00:36:57]>> Yeah. Thanks for having me.

[00:37:03]>> [music] >> Hey, you.

[00:37:25]How are you?

[00:37:29]Megan, what's going on?

[00:37:31]>> Megan, >> who is that guy there today?

[00:37:34]>> Who are you talking about?

[00:37:39]>> It's just some guy. All right, it's nobody.

[00:37:44]Megan, look, the the reality is if I want to keep my job here, I'm going to have to do some things that might make you feel uncomfortable.

[00:37:50]>> And that includes telling certain people to go.

[00:37:52]>> If they don't fit in, then yes.

[00:37:55]>> That's weird. But I thought those were the kinds of people that Jesus wants there.

[00:37:59]>> Yeah, I think I might know a little more about this than you do, Megan.

[00:38:03]>> You know what? You're right. You should.

[00:38:04]And that's what's starting to worry me.

[00:38:07]>> Okay.

[00:38:17][sighs] >> [sighs] [gasps] >> chat and watch the hottest girls in North.

[00:39:17]>> Hey. Then please come back to stop thinking.

[00:40:20]>> [sighs] [sighs] [snorts] >> God, can you just can you just be here?

[00:41:09]Can you just be here right now?

[00:41:13]And God, could you just please [sighs] could you just show up for him, please?

[00:41:23]Would [snorts] [sighs and gasps] you just remind him who he is to you, to me?

[00:41:44][snorts] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> What can I do for you?

[00:43:06]Jin, I guess >> you look like you need a double.

[00:43:19]>> There you go.

[00:43:30]>> Another drinking some pain away.

[00:43:34]Yeah, something like that.

[00:43:44]>> You're not from around here, are you?

[00:43:47]>> No, I uh I'm fairly new to town.

[00:43:52]>> So, what brings you here?

[00:43:54]>> Job.

[00:43:56]>> Job?

[00:43:57]>> What kind of work you in?

[00:44:01]I um I'm a pastor.

[00:44:04]>> Really?

[00:44:06]Yeah, right.

[00:44:08]You know, we don't get too many of you guys in here.

[00:44:11]>> I bet.

[00:44:14]So, what's the story, pastor?

[00:44:18]>> Still trying to figure that out, to be honest.

[00:44:21]>> You know, the last time I was in church, I was probably 8 years old.

[00:44:30]Why haven't you been back?

[00:44:33]>> If I try to cross through those doors, I think I might burst into flames.

[00:44:39]>> Yeah. Well, here I am crossing through yours. What's going to happen to me?

[00:44:43]>> Well, pastor, that's a wonderful thing about bars.

[00:44:48]Everybody's welcome. No questions, no judgment. Yeah.

[00:44:54]Now, I could be wrong, so correct me if I am. But wasn't it Jesus Christ who turned water into wine?

[00:45:01]>> Yes, I was my kind of guy.

[00:45:05]>> This is followers you're not so hot on, huh?

[00:45:07]>> Well, church is good for good people.

[00:45:11]Pastor, I realized a long time ago.

[00:45:16]Not my bag.

[00:45:18]>> You think we're good, >> pastor?

[00:45:25]No one's good.

[00:45:28]None of us. We all need help. I think the only thing that separates the good guys from the bad guys is where we look for that help.

[00:45:47]Make it last.

[00:45:49]That one's on me.

[00:46:10]Megan, please just pick up. Megan, I'm I need to talk to you. Okay, listen.

[00:46:17]I I can explain. It's not what you think. Megan, I love you. All right. I I'm coming home. All right.

[00:46:22]>> Hey, excuse me, sir. You shouldn't drive drunk. I should call your cab.

[00:46:25]>> Mind your own business. Okay.

[00:47:24]>> I'll get it home, man.

[00:47:26]>> I'll get you home.

[00:48:16]>> No kids. No wives, man.

[00:48:20]>> Nothing.

[00:48:20]>> Maybe that's better, man. I don't know.

[00:48:24]I don't know.

[00:48:26]I wish I had someone then. So, you know, maybe you got to fight for what you have, right?

[00:48:32]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:48:34]>> Not a night I would like to repeat.

[00:48:38]>> Well, then don't do it.

[00:48:42]Had plenty of those nights, man.

[00:48:44]>> Why you being so nice to me? But >> yeah, it's all good, man. We all make mistakes. So, it's just how it is, man.

[00:48:56]>> Yeah. Know me.

[00:50:36]>> Uh, where are we going?

[00:50:39]>> Go where I'm where I'm staying, man.

[00:50:46]Crash with me, bro. Don't worry about it.

[00:50:50]Stuff happens, right?

[00:50:53]>> We're almost there, man. [sighs] >> Man, this does not look like a nice part of town.

[00:51:00]>> Don't worry. You're with me, man. You're straight.

[00:51:03]>> I've never been in this part of town.

[00:51:06]>> You should come up a little bit more often, man.

[00:51:09]>> Yeah, there's a lot of people that need help here.

[00:51:14]Yeah.

[00:51:17]Well, apparently that's me tonight.

[00:51:21]I guess when I see plenty like you see plenty worse.

[00:51:29]Here it is right here.

[00:51:32]Almost all.

[00:51:36][snorts] She probably hates me. I don't deserve her, man. I don't deserve her.

[00:51:46]>> Yeah, that's the story of my life, man.

[00:51:54]All right, this it right here.

[00:52:05]Let's go, man.

[00:52:07]Better now than ever.

[00:52:31]Thanks, man.

[00:54:20]Hey, if that's it, >> there.

[00:54:27]How about it, man?

[00:54:29]>> Oh, no. No thanks.

[00:54:32]>> This is my last back, man.

[00:54:36]Good for you.

[00:54:39]>> Hey, um, listen.

[00:54:43]Why'd you help me last night?

[00:54:47]>> Cuz it looked like you needed some help.

[00:54:51]>> Yeah.

[00:54:52]>> Yeah. But why you?

[00:54:55]>> Why me, man? I kicked you out of my church. You found me in the dirt. You didn't kick me. You helped me. Why?

[00:55:05]Why not?

[00:55:08]Look, I'm going to be real with you.

[00:55:14]>> That book you gave me, man. Cheap old pew Bible from church.

[00:55:19]>> Mhm.

[00:55:23]Yeah.

[00:55:24]Started reading it and going through some things in my head.

[00:55:30]Why not me?

[00:55:33]Look, Pastor Chris, I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot it straight with you, man.

[00:55:39]Man, I never knew my parents. I was abandoned at three in foster homes until [music] I was 16.

[00:55:47]When I turned 16, I remember running out the foster home doors, man. I just kept running and running [music] and running till I was exhausted, man. I dropped and I was crying, just crying out for help, man. No one would come.

[00:56:04]I know who I was crying to, but I was crying, man.

[00:56:09]Shortly after I fell into a lot of issues.

[00:56:17]Street life came easy, man.

[00:56:21]Done a lot of things I'm ashamed of.

[00:56:26]As I'm reading that Bible, it said some things about this Jesus guy.

[00:56:36][snorts] Look, I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, man. But Jesus says I can be forgiven for him.

[00:56:46]As I kept reading, he said that God loved me, man.

[00:56:59]Look, man. I don't even know what that means.

[00:57:04]But I figured why not do my best to try to do the same.

[00:57:10]Why not?

[00:57:16]It's do or die, Chris.

[00:57:20]It's do or die.

[00:57:26]I I remember just running and running my whole life, man.

[00:57:32]Maybe I was running from God.

[00:57:36]And I think I finally found what I've been looking for, man.

[00:57:42]I uh I You know what?

[00:57:51]I want to say thank you.

[00:57:54]If it wasn't for you, Pastor Chris, I wouldn't have found this man.

[00:57:59]Um, you're welcome.

[00:58:08][snorts] Oh, I um keep it. It's yours. [snorts] Thank you.

[00:59:06]You know all along, didn't you?

[00:59:11]You knew that as I came up here every Sunday, my perfect clothes and my perfectly rehearsed words who I was beneath the skin, a broken man.

[00:59:23]And I stood there and I made sure that everyone in here looked and played the part of a good person. And I looked and played the part. And I kicked out probably the most pure-hearted of us all.

[00:59:35]That makes me wonder, I've kicked you out.

[00:59:44]I don't want to be that man.

[00:59:49]I'm sorry.

[00:59:52]Please forgive me.

[01:00:03]I heard from a very good friend of mine that last night he and his wife passed a man that looked very much like you, Pastor Chris.

[01:00:11]They said this man was outside a bar, appeared to be drunk, and ended up going home with some low life. No, I don't.

[01:00:21]That doesn't sound like the man we've come to know.

[01:00:24]>> No, no, it doesn't. But it was, >> you know, Pastor Chris, part of church is keeping up appearances and helping our community look at it, though.

[01:00:38]>> What if it's not? I mean, it says in the Bible, the man looks at the outward appearance and God looks at the heart.

[01:00:44]What if we've got it wrong? wrong.

[01:00:47]>> Yes. What if we we come in here pretending to look good and we think this is how we're supposed to be, but really the church is supposed to be a place for broken people to find help.

[01:00:59]>> Well, I'm afraid that in this community that is simply not what we want or are looking for.

[01:01:07]Regrettably, we are going to have to let you go.

[01:01:12]>> Understood.

[01:01:45]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Where have you been?

[01:04:03]>> I um I was with a friend.

[01:04:17]Is this not enough for you? I mean, am I not enough for you? Do you do you actually love me at all, >> Megan? Of course I love you.

[01:04:30]>> How long?

[01:04:34]>> How long?

[01:04:35]>> It's too long. Okay, >> that's not an answer.

[01:04:38]>> I wanted to tell you.

[01:04:39]>> Why didn't you?

[01:04:44]>> I think I um I I couldn't face the man I was becoming.

[01:04:56]I didn't want you to see who I really was.

[01:05:00]A broken man.

[01:05:01]>> We're all broken, Chris. Okay. But >> I'm supposed to be the good one.

[01:05:06]>> Okay. No one is good. Not one.

[01:05:10]>> You um Are you quoting a scripture to me?

[01:05:12]>> Don't.

[01:05:17]>> I didn't even want you to come home last night, to be honest. A part of me doesn't want you to be here at all. You have completely broken my trust as your friend, as your wife.

[01:05:35][snorts] The only reason we're even having this conversation is because I still have some kind of hope in the man that I know you can be.

[01:05:53]And I know that this is going to take time, but we all need help.

[01:06:06]>> Impassers, huh?

[01:06:09]>> Especially pastors, man.

[01:06:20]I'm sorry.

[01:06:24]Truly, I'm sorry.

[01:06:30]I know.

[01:06:38]>> I love you.

[01:06:41]>> I love you, too.

[01:06:59]>> [music] >> I need [singing] thee every hour, [music] most gracious [singing] Lord.

[01:07:14]No tender [music] voice like thine can [singing] peace [music] of.

[01:07:28]I need [singing] thee. [music] Oh, I need thee.

[01:07:34]Every [music and singing] hour I need thee.

[01:07:40]Oh, bless me now, my savior.

[01:07:44][music and singing] I come to thee.

[01:07:56]I [music] need [singing] thee every hour.

[01:08:01]Stay thy [music] temp. Nations lose [singing] their [music] power when I [singing] [music] need [singing] thee. Oh, [music] I need thee.

[01:08:28]Every [singing] hour I need thee.

[01:08:33]Oh, bless [singing and music] me now, my savior.

[01:08:38]I [singing] come to thee.

[01:08:50]I need [music and singing] thee every hour.

[01:08:56][music] Enjoy [singing] your pain.

[01:09:02]Come quickly [music] and abide. [singing] Your life is [music] vain.

[01:09:16]I need [singing] thee. [music] Oh, I need thee. [singing] Every [music] hour I need thee.

[01:09:27]Oh, bless me [singing and music] now, my savior.

[01:09:33]I come to thee.

[01:09:53]I used to think I knew what a good person looked like.

[01:09:59]And as ashamed as I am to admit it, I thought I looked like a good person.

[01:10:06]But after a rather painful [music] month, I think I have come to the realization that none of us are good. At least not totally.

[01:10:21]No matter who we are or where we're from, what we look like, what we've done, we all need help, forgiveness, love, and grace, Sam.

[01:10:42]Then Jesus replied with a story. A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho and he was attacked by bandits.

[01:10:51]They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and [music] left him half dead beside the road. By chance, a priest came along, but when he saw the man lying there, he crossed [music] to the other side of the road and passed him by.

[01:11:03]A temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, [music] but he also passed by on the other side of the road.

[01:11:10]Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothes his wounds with olive oil [music] and wine, bandaged them up, and then he took the man on his [music] donkey to an inn where he took care of him.

[01:11:32]The next day, he handed the inkeeper two silver coins, telling him, "Take care of this man, and if his bill runs higher than this, I'll pay for it the next time I'm there." Now, which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by the bandits? Jesus replied.

[01:11:50]And then the man replied, "The one who showed mercy." Then Jesus said, "Yes, go and do the same.
