"And the baby sister comes, and of course he loves her very much." "But... she's getting attention." "His attention." "So he wishes... actually... he prays for that attention back and... a month later, he's diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia." "[Cooing]" "And the... [sighs]..." "cancer eats away at the boy until there is almost nothing left." "But he fights it." "He survives and... now he has a choice to make." "Does he decide that he was punished or that he was rewarded?" "Will he be angry for having been made to suffer, or will he be grateful for that suffering because... it changed him?" "This is the story of a little girl." "She's 8 years old, and just over a week ago, she's playing in the park." "She loves to go high on the swings, up to the point where you hang there for a moment, suspended, before the chains clink and gravity pulls you back down." "She's been asleep... in a coma, for 9 days now." "Her brain activity is negligible." "Her outcome is undetermined." "The girl's name is Emily... and so that little boy is asking for attention again now." "For Emily, let us pray." "Heavenly Father," "You invite all who are burdened to come to You."

"May I show you something?" "[Winning slot machine ringing]" "This... is Albert Wayne Studdard." "He abducted a young girl walking home from school." "Violated her sexually, strangled her to death." "On October 14th, he disappeared, right out of his jail cell." "And this man, this monster, is on the same list along with all the others who left us, along with the innocent and the good... along with your niece." "But someone has to expose these people for who they truly were and what they truly did because if we can no longer separate the innocent from the guilty, everything that happened to us, all of our suffering," "is meaningless."

"But..." "I don't understand." "You... you said I could stay." "I said you could stay as long as no buyers came forward." "I..." "I'm sorry, Matt." "I've been trying to tell you for at least two weeks now." "Now, you always knew this could happen once you stopped making payments and we had to foreclose." "Who's the buyer?" "Corporate LLC, probably a hedge fund." "They can't really remodel, but the land is worth something." "[Sighs]" "They probably want to knock it down and throw up some apartments." "Knock it..." "Well, it's not some restaurant." "This is a house of worsh..." "[Cell phone ringtone playing]" "I'm sorry." "I have to take this." "Hey." "Can I call you back?" "I'm in the middle of a..."

"Things are changing, people are ready to come back." "I just performed a baptism this morning." "I hate coming to you, but this is our family church," "Mom and Dad's..." "No, Matt, it's your church." "They left it to both of us." "They didn't leave it to anyone." "They died in a fire when I was 7, and then it was given..." "Please don't... don't get upset." " Why do you always have to do that?" " What?" "Make me upset and then tell me not to get upset." "You can't just knock on my door and ask for $135,000..." "Do you not have it?" "I thought the benefit money..." "That money was for my husband and my children." "I'm sorry." "You're right." "I shouldn't have asked." "I just... didn't know where to go."

"That's what you're asking me for, right, your church?" " That's not what this is about." " No!" "It's about the accident!" "It's about the judge!" "And it should have ended there, but you kept going!" "You dug up your dirt, and people called you crazy behind your back, and I defended you because I knew you were in pain, but then you decided it was your calling, your... your purpose, like you were personally selected by God..." "Don't say that word!" "Don't say that word." "You don't get to talk about something you don't believe in." "I don't get to?" "What do you believe in, Matt?" "Do you know where my family went?" "Do you know what it was?" "It was a test." "[Scoffs] Oh." "[Sniffles]" "Not for what came before, but for what came after." "It was a test for what comes now." "Well, if it was a test, then I think you may be failing it." "[Chair slides]" "I love you, Matt... but what you're doing... your paper, the church... it's not working anymore."
