- Hi.
- How are you doin' today.

- [Tim] Good, thanks.

So this is Rome, huh?

First time here.

- [Clerk] Where you headed to?

- Eugene, come from Idaho.

Hey, what's the population here?

- [Clerk] About 20 people.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- You call yourself a Roman?

- [Clerk] (laughs) No,
we're not that uppity.

- So why's it named Rome?



- 100 years ago, when they
put the post office in,

those rock formations
reminded the guy

of the columns in Rome, Italy.

- Makes sense.

- Who's that old guy
in the robe over there?

- Heck if I know.

I wonder where he came from?

- Well, you just come off
the hill, you had to see him.

- No, I didn't.

That's weird, how
did I miss him?

(Gravel crunching)
(birds chirping)

You okay?

(Speaking in foreign language)

Spanish, you speak
English or Spanish?

Anything?

Okay, just follow me this way.

Over here, over here, all right.

Just come over here.

Just stay there,
just stay, all right.

Just stay.

Is there any place around
here to take that old man?

- Are you kiddin'?

- Hey Stan, it's Tim.

Hey, I found this old man
out in the middle of the road

in Rome, he needs to be
taken to the shelter.

Yeah, he seems harmless.

Is it okay with you if I bring
him back with me to Eugene.

Yeah, all right, I'll
be careful, thanks.

You need something to
eat, don't ya, okay.

Had to get some air freshener.

You wouldn't believe how
much that old man stinks.

- All that for him?

- Yeah.
- It's on me.

- Thanks, it's gonna
be a long ride.

Just this way, just follow
me, you're good, you're good.

This is for a pleasant ride.

You don't know what that means.

It's okay, come on.

Up, yes, there you
go, there you go.

You can hold onto this or that.

Yep. (Groaning)

We're gonna make it, yeah.

- You act like you've never
been in a truck before.

Well I never thought I'd
been doing this, but,

I had to get away.

Stretch your legs out.

It'll be good for you.

A good place to stretch.

Are you okay?
- Yes.

This is
called a rest stop.

You know, you stop,
you rest, you stretch.

But you know, it's wide open
space and it's good for us

to get out, you know, like,
oh, no, no, no, no, no!

(speaking in foreign language)

- What?

You want me to stop here?

No, no way, no way.

(Signal clicking)

(speaking in foreign language)

All right, all right, all right.

(Signal clicking)

You really want to go here?

Well, ask and you shall receive.

(Footsteps crunching)

(bright music)

(door knocking)

- [Woman] It's the pizza!

- Don't worry, babe, I'm sure
the pizza will be here soon.

- I'm sorry to bother you guys,

but I got this
homeless guy with me

and I was just wondering--

- Yeah, that's
cool and all, bro,

but we don't throw
toga parties here.

And, we're not a charity house.

- He stinks too.

- Not as bad as when
I found him, trust me.

Anyway he doesn't
speak any English

and I don't know
where he was from.

I was about to take
him to the mission

and he saw your Greek
letters and got excited.

I think his sign is in Greek.

I don't know, you want
to take a look at it?

- I wonder what it says.

All right, you guys
can come inside,

but don't let him
touch anything.

- All right, thanks.

(Birds chirping)

- I got this app on my phone.

Let me just take a picture
of that really quick.

- All right.

- That's good.

Okay.

Hm.
- Yeah, that's great.

So what does it say?

- "To me live Christ, die gain?"

- That's a Bible verse from
the book of Philippians.

- Great, so homeless
religious fanatic in Eugene.

What else is new.

- Ask him who he is.

(Speaking in foreign language)

- Hm, here.

(Gentle music)

Paul of Tarsus?

Who's that?

- The Apostle Paul, he
wrote half of the Bible.

I mean, the New Testament.

- (Laughs) I don't think
the mission's gonna be able

to help this psycho.

- We'll see.

It's been a long day.

Thank you very
much for your help.

- Mm-hm.
- Good luck.

(Phone ringing)

- Yep.

- Hey, Jalen, I'm back.

Hey listen, I picked
up this homeless guy

out in Rome, in eastern Oregon.

And he was wearing this
sign around his neck

that was in Greek,

but he doesn't speak
any English or Spanish.

I guess he speaks Greek.

Anyway, the crazy thing is,

I actually found out he
thinks he's the Apostle Paul.

- Who?

- You know, Paul, in the Bible.

- Hilarious.

He sounds crazy.

So whatcha you
gonna do with him?

- Well, I was on my way to
take him to the mission,

but I decided, maybe
I'll just bring him home

with me for tonight.

- Are you serious?

- Come on, hey, he's like 70.

All he's wearing is nothing
but a dirty old robe.

It's just for tonight.

I think my mom's got her
pastor's cell number,

I can have her give it to me

and I can give
him a call tonight

and see if he can
meet with us tomorrow.

He speaks Greek and
at the very least

he's got a counseling degree.

This is above my pay scale.

- All right, all right,
but you owe me big time.

- All right, thanks.

All right.

- [Announcer] Lawrence
backed a pass, a heavy rush.

He swings it out to
Jackson on the right flank.

But it didn't fool the Tigers.

Derick Chandler came
up to make the stop.

(TV chattering)

For the Wolves, or gives
it to Royce Mattson,

on another play and returns
it to the 39 yard line.

That'll be a little short
of the first 100 yards.

- What is he doing?

Why is he acting like he
never seen a TV before?

- Well, he says he's
from the 1st century.

- [Announcer] A short punt,
taking it to Tiger's 35

by Wallace and he's
got some running room.

Nielson back at quarterback
in the spread for the Tigers.

He fixes it to
Spring, but he fumbles

and the Wolves are right back.

- [Jalen] Are you
sure he's safe?

- Yeah, I think so.

He needs a shower now.

- I could smell him
from here, dude.

- [Announcer] That fumble
can only turn over the game

for the Tigers, and now
Ferguson takes the snap

and gives it to Mattson.

(Upbeat music)

(water whooshing)

(gentle music)

- Well, he sure does play
the role, doesn't he?

- [Tim] Yeah, I
can't figure him out.

- Where you been?

- Saint Vincent de Paul.

- Well, that's appropriate.

- Yeah, never thought of that.

(Upbeat music)

- [Dwight] Tim, have
you met Rabbi Pearlman?

- No, I haven't, it's
nice to meet you.

- [Dwight] And I
assume this is Paul?

- That's who he says he is.

- [Art] You can
just call me Art.

- So, Art was intrigued by
your mystery man comment.

- You know, I don't speak
Koine Greek but I can tell you,

if you really want to test him,

I think you should test him to
see if he's fluent in Hebrew.

- Hey, how you's all doin'?

You gonna need a minute of two?

- Yeah, a few, thanks.

- All right, all right.

Well, I got some things
to do, I'll be back.

That's good, okay.

- You's do's, man, it's
like he just walked out

of that movie, what was
it called with Travolta?

- "Grease."

I get all sorts, but
nothing like this before.

- Let's begin shall we?

- Sure, let's begin.

- What did he say?

- I basically think he
says, "I don't believe him."

- Well, at least
he's perceptive.

Ask him to write
something in Hebrew.

- [Tim And Dwight]
What did he say?

- He said, "I shouldn't
bear false witness.

"I shouldn't lie."

- (Laughs) A real
comedian, quite the wit.

- This reminds me of that
old movie, what was it,

"Miracle on 34th Street,"
where that old guys says

he was Santa Claus.

- Well this is no joke.

- So, you's ready?

- [Dwight] The usual, Jonathan.

- I'll have a hamburger.

What do you suggest?

- I really like that bebopper,

though I love that smoky bacon.

- Jonathan, the rabbi
doesn't eat pork products.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.

- I tell you what, I'll
just have a veggie burger.

- Okay.
- With fries.

- Great choice.

- And for you's two?

- Make it two Wake up Little
Suzie's with OJ, okay.

- You's got it.

- What were you gonna say
about this being no joke?

- I'm saying that the Hebrew

that he's speaking is actually
ancient Biblical Hebrew.

It's not modern Hebrew.

It's like the difference

between Shakespeare's
English and modern English.

- Wow, this is getting
more weird all the time.

- What does he want to know?

- He wants to know, what is
the United States of America?

And I said that I would
explain to him later,

it'd take some time.

- He plays his role well.

- Okay, he's saying that
he wants to go back home,

but there's a reason, a heavenly
reason that he's here now.

- I just had an idea.

Since he actually
believes and acts

like he's the Apostle Paul,
he should be pretty harmless.

He can go on the road with me

and just spend all that
time learning English.

I really want to see
how this all works out.

He's such a mystery.

Besides I can keep
a journal and write

about this experience,
depending on how it goes.

- He says he wants
to stay with you,

but he wants to be able to
work in order to pay you.

- Tell him he can stay
with me for free for a week

and then I'll find him a job.

(Gentle music)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Hey, what's up?

- Let's go to my bedroom.

- So this better be good, man.

- You say one night, it been
two, so I think his time's up.

- I know, can't he
stay for one week?

- No, we don't have any room.

- Listen, he'll stay with me
on the road for most of it.

And then if you still feel
this way I promise you,

I'll find him a different place.

- Man, come on, what's
gotten into you, man?

- He's just such a mystery,
I guess I want to solve it.

- Yeah, anybody claiming to be

who he's claiming must
be a cuckoo in a tutu.

- [Tim] But Paul seems
sane at the same time.

I want to see this through.

- So now you're
callin' him Paul,

so now you're playin'
into the insanity.

- You got a better name?

- All right, whatever.

So you all are gonna
be Monday, right?

- Yes, bright and early.

In the meantime, while
Paul's watching these films,

I got a meeting I gotta
go to seek some advice.

Do you want me to
take him with me

or are you okay with
him for a while?

- I'm okay, I guess, he's cool.

You say he's safe.

But he turns out to
be a serial killer,

my blood is on your hands.

- Yeah, and you'll haunt me
the rest of my life, I get it.

- Mm-hm.

- Amy, hi.

- [Amy] Hey.

- [Tim] It's good to see you.

- It's good to see you too.

How are you?

- I'm great, thanks, you are
doing very well for yourself.

- [Amy] I try, it's
a work in progress.

- So, I bet you've never
had a case like this before.

- You'd be surprised.

- So, what's the diagnosis?

- Based on what you've told me,

I believe he has what's
called delusions of grandeur.

It's a false belief,
when someone believes

with strong conviction
that they are a celebrity,

person of high rank
or a powerful entity,

despite evidence
to the contrary.

In your case, the Apostle Paul.

- You're like an encyclopedia.

- I boned up on it
before you came over.

- No, it's still
very impressive.

You were always great at
cramming before exams.

So, do you know what causes
it or what treatment there is?

- It could have been caused

by a brain injury or
drug misuse or PTSD.

- Well, he's gonna be
spending a week with me

in my truck learning English,
sleeping in my truck.

Does that sound safe?

Or am I being nuts?

- Well, if you're anything
like you were in college,

I'd say you're still
pretty crazy, but no,

based on what you've
told me and his age,

I'd say he's pretty harmless.

- Well, thank you
very much, Amy.

- Listen, if you're
ever in the neighborhood

and want to catch up
more, give me a call.

- Thank you, I
just might do that.

Thanks again.

- You're more than welcome.

- It was good to see you.

- You too, don't be a stranger.

- I won't, have a good day.

- You too.

(Upbeat music)

(birds chirping)

(engine puttering)

- [Travis] Hey, I
was just thinking

about you and here you are.

- Yeah, well I thought you
and Mom might be wondering

about me and Paul.

- You mean your time traveler?

Yeah, I was.

- [Tim] Yeah, whatever, whoever.

- Tim.
- Hi.

- Is that Paul in the car?

- [Tim] Yeah, it is.

- So are we gonna
get to meet him?

- [Tina] Yeah.

- [Tim] You will,
but I need to talk

to the both of you first.

- Ah, this sounds suspicious.

- Well, it's just that
Paul's been feeling bad

about not working and me paying
for his food and housing.

He just, he really
wants to work.

- I see, don't tell me.

You want him to work here.

- Tim, we are not in the
tent making business.

- Tina, what are
you talking about?

- In the Bible, Paul
was a tentmaker.

But yes, it would be
great if he worked here.

He's been no problem at all.

- Hm, Travis, what do you think?

- I think we can give it a try.

But if can't cut the mustard

and he's too weird,
he's gotta go.

- (Laughs) Okay, that's a deal.

(Gentle music)

(bird squawking)
(gentle music)

- I like the sea, but not in it.

Shipwreck, three times.

I think you're a kind man.

I have one question.

- Yeah.

- You believe in Yeshua?

- I mean, I did.

I mean, I once was sure.

I was so in love
with Jesus, Yeshua.

- Why, what happened.

- I'll explain it to you
when you finish the course.

(Birds squawking)
(waves whooshing)

(soft jazzy music)

(door banging)

- Hey, dude, you
don't know first?

- I didn't think I needed to
knock to enter my own house.

- I told you I
had plans tonight.

- Sorry, I forgot.

- Amber, you remember Tim, Paul.

- Yeah, I've heard
lots about you guys.

You know, it's getting
late, I better get going.

- Baby, I thought
we was gonna sleep,

I thought we was
gonna spend the night.

- Yeah, I better not.

- Hey, whatever you want to do.

- I'm glad you're
not going to do that.

- [Amber] Okay, see you all.

(Door thuds)

- Well, you know, Paul
doesn't mince words.

- [Jalen] Yeah,
easy for you to say.

Good night.

- (Sighs) I do not
want to make Jalen mad,

but I'm glad he does no wrong.

I like him.

- Yeah, I know.

A lot of people don't
think having sex

outside of marriage is immoral

as long as you love
the other person

and you don't have more
than one partner at a time.

- Like the Corinthians.

- Yeah, some things
don't change, do they.

But, it's not easy.

When you're really
attracted to someone.

- I was wrong, Jalen
is not a believer.

- [Tim] What difference
does that make?

- [Paul] I can judge a believer,

I cannot judge a non-believer.

- Yeah, I'd guess
he's not in the faith.

So, what are you gonna do?

(Door knocking)

- I'm sorry, I was
wrong to call you bad.

It is only for God to judge.

- Yeah, I accept your apology.

But I wish you would have came

to that conclusion a while ago.

Plus, I can't stay
mad at that face.

You want to come play
some video games?

(Gentle music)

(birds chirping)

- [Waitress] Alrighty guys,
here's your pizza for you.

- Great, thank you.
- Enjoy.

- [Tim] Oh, thank you
for ordering ahead.

- Mm.
- Pizza is great.

Perfect timing.

- How was the beach?

- Windy as usual but sunny.

- So what did you think of it?

- I like the sea
air, it is like home.

- We've noticed that your
English has really improved.

- Thank you.

Learning English is hard,
but I ask the Lord's help.

I am happy with progress.

- Be sure to keep that
accent, I like it.

- So is he still doing
good work for you guys?

- He's a great worker, great
attitude, no complaints.

- Poor guy though, I mean,

what's he gonna do
after we let him go?

- [Tim] I don't know.

- Yep, he doesn't have
a birth certificate,

you know, he doesn't have
a social security card.

He doesn't want to
collect welfare.

- He's a real mystery.

Tim, do you really think
he's the Apostle Paul?

- You know, I was just gonna
ask you the same question.

- He plays the part,
but it's impossible.

- Then what are his motives.

- [Paul] I have a question.

- Okay, fire away.

- Fire?
- I'm sorry.

Ask, you can ask.

- Those young people
over there with the,

we call them phone.

- Yeah, cell phones.

- Yes, they look at
them all the time.

They don't talk to each other.

- That's one of my
pet peeves, you know.

I really think should limit
the time on those things.

- Travis thinks the world
would be a perfect place

if he were in charge.

- Yeah, can't argue with that.

(Tina laughing)

(upbeat music)

- I would like two things.

- Okay.

- I want to meet with
the church of Eugene,

I want to pray
with the believers.

- You mean, go to church.

- I don't know what
you mean, go to church,

but I want to pray with
the believers in Yeshua.

- And the second.

- The second is, I
would like to meet

the heads of the
other religions.

- Hindu, Islam, Buddhists.

- Yes, I want to see
what they believe.

- Okay, first, I've got a
couple of gifts for you.

To help you and to celebrate
for you learning English.

So just give me one second.

(Paul laughs)

It's a flip phone.

That way you can contact
me whenever you need me.

But I want you to promise me
that you're not gonna turn

into one of those teenagers and
start using it all the time.

Otherwise, I'm gonna have
to take it away from you

and cancel your service.

(Paul laughing)

- Thank you, very much.

- I got something else too.

So I think you're gonna
find this very interesting.

They're called Bibles.

One is the Old Testament.

And the other is
the New Testament.

And they're written in
Hebrew, English and Greek.

The Law and Prophets
are in the Old Testament

and you'll find
some of the writings

of Yeshua's followers
in the New Testament.

Like, Peter, John, Luke,
James and even you.

- Me, my writings?

- [Tim] Didn't you write
letters to churches?

- Yes, but I wouldn't think
they would still be here.

- Yeah, I could see how
that would be a surprise.

And you know what,
you're gonna find a lot

of other surprises,
including this one.

- What, more?

- So my mom and dad
have spoken to me

and they said that you
were an incredible worker.

And they were very sad to hear

that I had to take
you to the mission.

So, they've offered to
allow you to stay with them

until the harvest is in.

How's that sound?

- That is wonderful,
I will work.

- I'll call them
and let them know.

So you still want to meet
with the church of Eugene?

- Yes, very much.

- Are there many more
what you call churches.

- Oh yeah, there's many more.

But I want to show
you something first.

This is where they hold the
Olympic trials in America.

Did you get to see the
Olympics in Athens.

- Oh yes, I saw
many of the races.

- So, the churches,
do they all meet here?

- No, that would be great
though, wouldn't it.

- When do they meet together.

- Actually, they
never really do.

I mean, some do,
but not very many.

- They do not meet as one?

This is very bad.

You're telling me a joke?

- No, I'm serious.

- I wrote to those in Corinth
about why Christ was divided.

All this time, all this time
and they haven't learned yet.

- I'm sorry, and yes,
it would make sense

to meet a few times a year

and I bet we can
pack this stadium.

Look, if you still
want to, tomorrow,

we can go to the Catholic church

and then to the Protestant
church, Pastor Reynolds' church.

Many churches have two services.

- [Paul] Yes, I would like that.

(Gentle music)

- The Lord Jesus, on the
night he was betrayed,

he took the bread, he gave
thanks, and he broke it.

He said, "This is my body
which is broken for you.

"Do this in remembrance of me."

(Bell ringing)

After supper, in the same way,

he took the chalice, he
gave thanks and he said,

"This is the new
covenant in my blood,

"do this in remembrance of me."

(Bell ringing)

The body of Christ.
- Amen.

- The body of Christ.
- Amen.

- The body of Christ.
- I want to eat the bread

and drink from the cup.

- I'm sorry, but
you're not allowed to.

You haven't joined
the Catholic church.

- [Priest] The body of Christ.

- But the man in the robe,

he just read from what I
wrote to the Corinthians.

- I know but I don't
think he's gonna believe

you are who you say you are.

- The body of Christ.
- Amen.

- The body of Christ.
- Amen.

(Traffic whooshing)

- I do not understand.

The man in front wears a robe,
but the other men do not.

And they call the man
in front in the robe,

father, but he has no wife.

Peter and the other
apostles, they had wives.

- Well, yeah, I have a lot
of there questions, also.

But Catholics worship Jesus
too and are very well-meaning.

And all Christians agree

that Mary was a virgin
when Jesus was born.

Okay, so do you still want
to go to Dwight's church?

- Yes, this is very interesting.

- In Acts six, verse
eight, it says,

"Stephen, full of
faith and power,

"did great wonders and
signs among the people."

The only trouble was, the
religious leaders got jealous

and they killed Stephen

and he became the
first Christian martyr.

The people that stoned
Stephen laid their coats

at the feet of a man
named Saul of Tarsus,

who later became
the Apostle Paul.

- I must tell them
all that I'm sorry.

- Not now, not now.

- But I want to talk
about Philip also,

who's nickname was
The Evangelist.

He was instrumental in
bringing an Ethiopian eunuch

to the Gospel and
when he was finished,

God translated him to a city
140 miles away, in an instant.

Although this message was
primarily for Christians,

Paul was drastically changed

when he became a lover of
Jesus rather than a hater.

You, too, can have a personal
relationship with Jesus.

If I could have every head
bowed and eyes closed.

If you want to know this
Jesus, please raise your hand

and you too can know the Jesus

that Stephen and Phillip
and Paul looked for.

Yes, see your hand,
yes, yes, thank you.

- Hey, thanks.
- Good to see you, James.

Thanks for coming, being here.
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Great to see you.

- Thanks for coming.

Good to see you, I've
been meaning to call you.

How's the English program going?

- Good, thank you.

- Yeah, he finished
a couple days ago.

- So you were able to
understand the sermon.

- Yes, but, I--

- When you spoke about Saul
persecuting the church,

Paul actually asked me
if he could stand up

and apologize to everyone.

- I did see you both, but
I didn't think about he,

I mean you, Paul
would react to that.

- I don't think that's meant
to be, what you say, a joke?

- At least you must be happy

that some people committed
their life to Christ.

- That when they raised their
hand with their eyes closed?

- Yes.

- In my day, when a
believer commit, commit,

they would say loud
they believed in Yeshua,

they would be baptized

and they would live
their life for him,

who on their behalf
died and rose again.

- Very good, II
Corinthians 5:15.

You must have been
reading your Bible.

- No, I lived it.

- [Tim] Okay, well, don't want

to take up too
much of your time.

Thank you so much.
- Yes.

All right, blessings
on you, absolutely.

(Gentle music)
(people chattering)

- I did not want to
make Mr. Dwight unhappy.

Are all meetings of
believers like that?

- Well, I've been to
almost every kind and yeah,

I'd say that's pretty
much how they all are.

- It was good, but I
do not understand why

so much time was spent
on what God did before.

More time should be
spent on the good

that God does now and
pray over those things.

- That's pretty common.

I mean, I think
there's a lot of people

that want to know more
about the here and now.

- That why you no
longer go to church?

- That's part of it.

I mean, I think
they're all sincere

and I do enjoy the worship.

But money is a big issue
and they all interpret parts

of the Bible
differently which is why

you get so many
different denominations.

And there's a lot of the
Bible that I don't understand

or agree with, even
some of what you wrote.

- Something bad happened?

You said at the
sea, you'll tell me.

- After Bible college,
I became a youth pastor.

And a little later I met
this young woman, Brittany.

We were engaged, and shortly
after she, bone cancer.

Two years.

- She suffered much?

- Constant agony.

Why?

Withering away?

She was so sweet.

And we prayed and
we did everything

and then I hear
stories of people

who were healed,
miracles, why not her?

It doesn't make any sense.

- I'm very sorry.

When something bad
happens with me,

I think of something
good God has done for me.

You must think of something good

that God has done for you, now.

- That's not gonna
bring her back.

(People chattering)

(birds chirping)

- Thanks again, Tim.

Yeah, no problem.

That was very thoughtful of you.

Hey, let me know what
Paul comes up with, okay.

Take care.

- What was that all about?

- That was Tim Bennett.

After church Paul came up
and he was real critical

about my salvation message.

Tim was concerned that Paul
might have offended me.

- Did he?

- At first, a little.

But after I thought about it,
Paul made some great points.

As crazy as it is, he acts
like I would think Paul

from the Bible might act.

- Aw, I can't get around that.

That is inconceivable.

- Yeah, I know.

- What do you mean by
Tim letting you know

what Paul is up to?

- Well, Tim just dropped
Paul off at Spencer's View.

He's confused about the
body of Christ being divided

and he's there seeking
God's guidance.

- Hm, that's interesting.

- [Tim] So how'd it go?

- I am tired but
I'm feeling good.

I think I know why I'm here.

- Okay, can you tell me?

- The Christians are not
together, they're apart.

Yeshua would not want this.

I must get the leaders here
together and show them.

- Wow, well, that's
pretty outrageous.

So you think God sent
you here, 2,000 years

into the future for that reason?

And how do you
think he did that?

- I don't know.

But you must be my Silas
and help me show them.

- Silas, huh?

(Scoffs) I know how
that turned out.

Beating and in prison.

- I can only ask.

- I don't know how
I can help you.

Let me sleep on it.

- [Paul] Sleep on it?

- Think about it overnight.

Hey, remember when you told me

to think about something
wonderful God had done for me?

- Yes.

- I actually
remembered something

after watching those parents
and kids in the park.

- Tell me.

- I was in Bible college and
I was working in a store.

I was on my break and I
remember being confused

on how I could possibly
live the Christian life.

And I thought that I'm
supposed to love God

with all my heart, mind, soul
and strength but felt like,

I didn't really feel that way

and didn't know how I could
be so passionate about it.

I sat there thinking
about how God is love

and that according to what
you wrote in I Corinthians 13,

"Love is long suffering,
kind, is not proud,

"does not boast, does
not seek its own."

Then I substituted
God for those words.

God is kind, not
selfish and so on.

I meditated on those things
for about five minutes,

then it dawned on me that,
God is like a good father.

I thought about how
when I was little,

I called my father, Daddy.

And then I remembered
what you wrote

about God being Abba, Father.

Abba being Papa, or Daddy.

I thought about it some more

and a great feeling
of love come over me

as I realized, God was my Daddy.

My break time was
over but as I got up

I was focused on one
thought, I love Daddy.

I swear that with my
first step into the store,

I saw before me a young father

with a toddler in his
stroller, and written

on the little boy's shirt were
the words, "I love my Daddy."

I almost fell to my knees.

I don't know why
I haven't thought

about that in a long time.

- Yes, he is good,

and nothing will ever
separate us from his love.

Even when a loved
one suffers and dies.

(Gentle music)

- Father, God,

Daddy.

I know it's been a long time.

I haven't wanted
anything to do with you.

I don't know if I'll ever
understand about Brittany.

And Paul.

But please give me wisdom.

Thanks.

I love you, Daddy.

- Did you think on my offer?

- Offer?

(Laughs) It sounds like I'll
be more like a burnt offering.

I guess I can help you.

I'll try contacting the
local media, you know,

the TV and newspapers and such

and I'll invite them to
do a story about you.

- That is good.

You think they will?

- I'll do my best
to convince them.

- Thank you, Tim.

Now I want to visit
the religious leaders

and see what they think.

(Bright music)

Please, tell me something
about the Hindu religion.

- This is our Hindu, (speaking
in foreign language),

we worship here
every day, morning.

This is Lord Ganesha, who
is the obstacles remover.

This is divine mother, is
three in one, she represents,

music, goddess of knowledge,

goddess of music and
goddess of wealth.

And this is Lord Shiva, who
describe our negativity,

ego and all the quality
negative, thank you.

- To me, Jesus is the
image of the invisible God.

Please, tell me
what he is to you.

- Jesus, well we call
him Jesu in our language,

he was a great soul, a
spiritual teacher, a yogi,

he came to this planet
to teach us dogma,

our duty and responsibility.

(Bright music)

- Tell me, please, what
do you know of Jesus.

- Jesus was an
enlightened person,

a wise teacher, a holy person.

Even the (speaking
in foreign language),

that's one who dedicates
their life to the service

and betterment of
others, but not divine.

(Bright music)

- [Paul] So tell me, please,
what does Islam know of Jesus.

- Well, Jesus is mentioned
in the Koran over 100 times.

We believe that he is a prophet,

not the son of God
or God himself.

We believe that he was
given the power by God

to perform miracles
on the earth.

We believe that he was
born of the Virgin Mary,

and that he will return
at the end of times

to restore justice on the earth.

(Mom laughing)

- How did it go with
the religious leaders.

- Ah, I wanted to find out
what they think about Yeshua.

- And?

(Paul sighs)

- They don't believe he
is who he says he is,

they don't believe who
his followers say he is

and they don't believe
who I say he is.

It makes me very sad.

- I could have told you that.

- But with all
due respect, Paul,

what difference does it make

whether they agree with
you about Christ anyway?

I mean, I think all
religions are trying

to be good people and
all paths lead to God.

- Yeshua came to me,
as he did to Peter

and showed that he was the
Messiah, the true Son of God,

who died and rose again on
my behalf and for everyone.

- You must have suffered a lot.

I don't know how you made it
through all those beatings

and hunger and shipwreck
and everything.

What kept you going?

- It was his truth and his love.

Every day I feel his love

and I want everyone
to know his love.

- Okay, Tim, what's next?

- Well, Paul wants to meet
with all the pastors here,

so I'm gonna try to connect
with the local media

and see if they'll
do a story about him.

- Good luck with that.

- Hey, thanks, Dad.

Hi, I have a story I'm sure
you'll be interested in.

It's about an old man who
says he's a time traveler.

Oh, not interested, huh?

Okay.

Hello, this is Tim Bennett,

I have a story you
might be interested in.

I picked up this hitchhiker
who says he's the Apostle Paul.

(Phone clicking)

(engine revving)

Hi, Tim here.

- Hello Tim, this is
Kayla Morgan from KESP TV.

- Oh, is this about Paul?

- Yes, I'd like to do a brief
interview with him soon.

- Well, I drive trucks
so I won't be in town

until the end of the week.

- He can't do it
sooner, without you?

- No, he wants me there.

- Hm, okay.

I'll make it work.

So, I can call you Friday?

- Sure, sounds good.

- Great, thanks, Tim.

(Upbeat music)

- Well, Kayla, it's time

for our weekly "Out
Of The Box" feature

and today you had a
very unusual interview

that is way outside the
box, to say the least.

- Yes, I met with a local man

who claims to be
a time traveler.

- Okay, and who
does he say he is

and where in time
did he come from?

- Believe it or not, he says
that he's the Apostle Paul,

a man who lived
during the 1st century

and wrote a great deal
of the New Testament

from the Christian Bible.

Take a look.

- This oughta be good.

(Both laughing)

- Yeah, (laughs) homeless
religious fanatic's not

all that rare nowadays.

Are you saying you
actually believe him?

- Well, obviously not at first.

But I've had him in my home
now and on the road with me

for three months and
he's learned English

and as amazing at it seems,

nothing he has done
or said has led me

to believe his is a
crackpot or an imposter.

- Do you have any evidence
that would support his claims?

- Yes, he only spoke
ancient Hebrew and Greek

and he acted like he had
never seen our technology.

Now, if he is an actor,

he could win an Oscar
as far as I'm concerned.

- (Laughs) Interesting.

Now I hear that you're
planning a meeting.

What can you tell us about that?

- I will speak, I will answer
questions at this building.

It is important that I speak

to the Christians of Eugene,
it is very important.

- So what do you think?

- I did get to meet with
Paul for about 15 minutes

and I'd have to agree
with Mr. Bennett,

he really is quite persuasive,

even though it truly
is unfathomable.

- You think?

(Both laughing)

- I'd urge local
ministers as well

as the general public
to come to the meeting.

If nothing else, it should
be very entertaining.

- That sounds strange enough

it might even
entice me to attend.

Goodnight and have
a wonderful evening.

(Upbeat music)

- Thank you, Tim,
for showing me this.

- It's not a problem.

I knew you'd want to see
how it looks like on TV.

- It's not easy to help me.

- What do you mean?

- People who see this on TV
will think we're both crazy.

- Yeah, that's true.

But you know, I don't
really care much

what other people think.

Thank you all for
coming tonight.

I'd like to introduce, Paul.

(Audience applauding)

- This is what I know.

The Roman was about to cut off
my head, the sword was ready.

And suddenly, I'm
in a strange place

with many strange things.

I thought Yeshua had returned.

But I am here, I see
many places of prayer,

with many people,
Catholic, Pentecostal,

Baptist, Latino, black,
white, but all apart.

I prayed on this and I think

that I am here to bring
believers together.

Are there any questions?

- Why does God allow
so much suffering,

why doesn't he do something?

- Ah, I was shown the movie,
"The Passion of Christ."

Do you know it?

- Yeah, it was very
violent, probably overdone.

Mel Gibson seems to be
obsessed with violence.

What's that got to
do with my question?

- Everything.

You want to know what God
thinks about suffering?

Look at the bloody
tortured Yeshua.

God hates it.

He poured his anger on
his only Son, and he,

the sinless one is our only
hope to get things right.

And believe me, the violence
in the movie was not overdone.

Christians have a job
to continue the works

of Yeshua, to lessen suffering.

- How the hell would you know

if the violence is
overdone or not.

- Peter and John were there
and they told me how it was.

- You're nuts, Paul.

- [Paul] Yes.

- My question's for you, Tim.

Have you had Paul's
back examined?

- No, I haven't, why?

- Well, because in II
Corinthians it tells us

that Paul received 39
lashes five different times.

And if that's true,
he would have scars.

I'd like to see 'em.

- Well, I haven't seen his back,

but I don't think that's
appropriate at this time.

- No, no, I want him
to know the truth.

- Good, let's see.

(People gasping)

(people chattering)

- Assuming you are
who you say are

and that's a big assumption,

why were you sent here to
Eugene, Oregon of all places.

- What do you think
about the other religions

like Islam, Buddhism
and Hinduism.

- Are you pro-choice
or pro-life?

- So when do you think the
Rapture is going to happen?

- So how do you intend on
uniting Christians now?

- That's why we are here, Tim.

- Yes, for those of
you who would like

to follow in his work,

please meet me on
this side of the room

where we can
organize the meeting

for all of our
believers in our area.

Now at this time, the media
would like to speak to Paul

and those of you who have
any opinions on Paul.

Thank you.

- I commend you and
Paul, or whoever he is,

on this idea but I just don't
get how this is gonna work.

- Normally, yeah, the money
issue does turn me off.

But for a small offering

to have this here four
to five times a year,

I think it would be
absolutely perfect.

- I love the vision of
informing the body of Christ

with what the Lord is
doing right here and now

and meeting as one no
matter the denomination.

I think with God's help,
we can make it happen.

- So I'll take down your emails

so that we can start
sharing ideas back and forth

about where we'd like
the event to take place

and which local people we'd like

to have testify and
perform, sound good?

- Great, sounds like a plan.
- Great.

- Great.

- Hey, Kayla.

- Paul, my daughter, she saw
you on TV the other night

and wanted to meet you.

- I'm very pleased to meet you.

What is your name?

- [Mother] She can't hear you.

She's deaf.

But her name is Sophia.

- Sophia, you must be very wise.

Did you know your name,
in Greek, means wisdom?

- She did know that.

- Ah, and why did
you want to meet me?

- She believes that you are in
a close relationship with God

and that if you touch
her, she'll be healed.

She wants to hear music.

- You must have great faith.

I think Yeshua
wants you to hear.

What is it that she
wants to hear first?

- She wants to hear her sister
sing, "Over the Rainbow."

What do I do?

- Start singing.

♪ Somewhere over the rainbow

♪ Way up high

- I mean, he looks
and acts the part

but the time travel thing,
I just can't believe it.

- Well, even if he isn't Paul,

he might as well be, he's
got a very good message.

- I suspect that
this Paul is trying

to start a cult of his own.

- He's saying that you're
not telling the truth,

you're a fake.

- [Interviewee]
Congregation with him.

- That happens to me many times.

- Well, some may
think he's a fraud.

But after the
crowds left tonight,

I stayed around and we taped
something extraordinary.

A young girl, who her mother
says was deaf from birth,

asked the man claiming
to be Paul of the Bible,

to pray for her to
receive her hearing.

- And Kayla, from
what I'm hearing,

we were the only news station

that captured that
incredible moment.

- That's right.

- Start singing.

(Speaking in foreign language)

♪ Somewhere over the rainbow

- Whether you
believe him or not,

Paul says he wants
to unite Christians

and is planning a meeting
for all Christians

in our area to meet and worship.

The apparent healing

of Sophia should peak
a lot of interest.

- That was incredible.

- It was a real miracle.

I'm so glad that Kayla
stayed long enough

to get that all recorded.

- Tim, you like
Kayla, don't you.

- That's changing the subject.

What makes you say that.

- The way you look at her.

- What?

My man, Tim, you want my
permission to ask her out?

- Out, out, what?

- He means a meeting,
to go out on a date.

- Date.

- No, but that's very
thoughtful of you, Jalen.

You know what, I think it's time

for me to take Paul
back to my parents.

I've got a long day tomorrow.

Gotta wake up early, come on.

♪ Way up

- Wow.

- [Announcer] Do you
really believe that

that was a real miracle.

- Amazing, I think we
hit the mother lode.

- What do you mean?

(Upbeat music)

- Mr. Powell?

- Kayla, that was fantastic.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, I really think
this story has legs.

I need you to meet
me at 8:00 a.m. sharp

at this Paul guy's house.

Text me his address.

Great job, get some sleep.

- But, Mr. Powell--

(phone clicks)

(Kayla sighs)

(Mr. Powell sighs)

- Why so early?

- Because I'm gonna be getting
calls from all the networks.

They're gonna want
to talk to Paul.

So we want to be the
first ones there.

- Go get 'em, honey.

- All right, thanks.

(Gentle music)

(doorbell ringing)

- Hey, I'm Kayla
Morgan, from KESP TV.

- Hey, you that reporter.

You did an amazing
story last night.

- Yeah, sure was.

Is Tim or Paul here?

- Well, Tim hit the road earlier

but Paul doesn't
live here no more.

- [Kayla] Oh, can you tell
me where he does live?

- Well, the people
that he's with,

I don't think they'd
really want you to know.

- I understand, but
I'd really only like

to speak with him just
for a few minutes.

- Is there a problem?

- [Kayla] Jalen, this is
Mr. Powell, KESP's manager.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Jalen believes that the people

where Paul is staying would
really value their privacy.

- Privacy, huh?

Well, Jalen, I'll tell ya,

they're gonna be TV crews
all up and down this street,

lookin' for where
Paul's stayin'.

So you could really help us
out by letting us be first in

and we can avoid
that whole circus.

So we'd really love for
you tell us where he's at.

- I don't know. (Sighs)

- Come on man, just
tell us where he lives.

Well Jalen,
there's no way you're gonna be able to hide him.

So, we really do
need his address.

Maybe this would help.

- Well, I guess they're gonna
find out where they at anyway.

580 Whitman Street.

- All right, hey, thank you.

- Bless you.
- Thank you.

(Engine puttering)

- Do we really need to have
the cameras rolling for this?

- Absolutely, we don't
know what might happen.

(Door knocking)

- [Kayla] Hi, I'm Kayla
Morgan with KESP TV.

- Yes, I saw you on
the news last night.

I don't want that camera on me.

I suppose you're
here to see Paul.

- That would be great, yeah,
it'll only take a minute.

- How did you find him here?

You know, I don't think

I'm feeling very
comfortable about this.

- Mrs. Bennett, right.

- Uh-huh.

- David Powell, sorry to impose,

but you're gonna have a lot
of media here bothering you.

They're gonna find
out Paul's here.

But, you know, we actually
got the information

from your son's roommate.

So if you want to make all
of this media frenzy go away,

we'd love to have an
exclusive with Paul.

After all, we're
the only station

that really gave
him any attention.

- So what do you need from him?

- Just need him to
sign this agreement.

It allows us to do some
more stories on him

and then we'll leave.

I wish my son and my
husband were here.

(Sighs) Okay, I'll go get him.

(Bright music)

- Hello, Paul, I'm the general
manager where Kayla works.

- Oh, what can I do for you?

- Last night was wonderful.

A lot of people are excited.

But there are also
a lot of people

that want to take your
time and do interviews

and things like that with you.

So, I'm here to make this
as painless as possible

for you and Mr.
And Mrs. Bennett.

- Uh-huh.

- Paul, this is an
exclusive agreement.

If you sign it, it will
keep the others away

and they won't be
coming to Mrs. Bennett

all day long trying
to talk to you.

- I think they're right.

But I know you're not just here

out of the goodness
of your hearts,

so what do you get out of this?

- Well, we want to do a
weekly show that features Paul

so that everybody
gets to know him.

- Would Kayla be with me?

- This is a big
opportunity for Kayla.

- I want to talk to Tim.
- Okay.

- Well, serious,
this is a no-brainer.

- No-brainer, no-brain,
what is a no-brainer?

- Don't worry, I've got Tim.

Hi.

- [Tim] Hi, Mom, what's up?

- Yeah, the reporter
and her boss

and the cameraman
are here at the house

and they want Paul to sign
an exclusive agreement.

They say it'll stop
the media circus.

- [Tim] What?

Put Kayla on please.

- Yep.

For you.

- [Tim] What's going on?

- Tim, I'm sorry, I'm
just doing my job.

If he signs the agreement it
will keep the others away.

- [Tim] Jalen must
have told you, right?

How did you ever
get it out of him.

Whatever, I just thought
you were different.

Can you put my Mom
back on, please.

- Tim, I was gonna call you.

- [Tim] That would
have been nice.

- Hi.

- [Tim] Mom, Paul
wanted the publicity.

But we weren't expecting this.

Just have Paul sign the papers.

- Okay, bye.
- Bye.

- Sorry, guys, you're too late.

We got an exclusive.

(Door knocking)

- I think this belongs to you.

- What's this?

- Me milkin' the system.

- What?

- Information has a price.

- Oh, well, thanks.

Here's a Ben Franklin,
you're forgiven.

- Are you sure, I
mean, I don't want.

Well, if you insist, then.

Thank you.
- Yeah.

(Upbeat music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hello.

- Tim, it's Kayla.

I need to talk with
you, you got a minute?

- Okay.

- Look, I'm sorry about
what happened this morning.

My boss called me after
the late news last night

and told me not to tell
anyone about his plans,

he was so obsessed about
getting the exclusive.

And I didn't know that
you were gonna be gone

or that Paul was
living somewhere else.

- Well, in that light,
I guess I did overreact.

I accept your apology.

It was just a shock and I
kind of feel responsible

for looking out for Paul.

So, what's gonna happen.

- Well, I'm doing a weekly 30
minute interview with Paul.

It'll be airing on the
station for the next month.

- Wow.

That's probably gonna help
Paul promote his big meeting

he wants to have in
a couple of weeks.

- You know, I think
what you've done

with Paul is pretty admirable.

- Really?

You don't think I'm
going over the deep end?

- (Laughs) Well,
I didn't say that.

Thanks, Tim.

Stay in touch.

- Okay, goodnight.

- [Kayla] Goodnight.

(Phone rattling)

(upbeat music)

- So are you ever gonna
ask out that hot reporter?

- (Scoffs) Since when
have you been interested

in my dating habits.

- I'm not, but truthfully, you
know I got that gig on Friday

and I really would love
to have your support.

- You're gonna pay me to laugh?

- I'm gonna pay
you if you don't.

- Oh, that's pretty cocky.

Oh, maybe I'll give
her a call, we'll see.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- [Both] I declare war.

(Tim groans)
(Jalen cheers)

- Hello.

Oh hi.

- Sorry about the short
notice on the meeting.

I wanted to let you know that
you both have done a great job

of increasing our numbers here,
Alex with the youth program.

Gloria, fabulous job
with special programs.

I'm just concerned, we've got
to keep our momentum going.

- Is there something
wrong, Pastor?

- Well, KESP is giving
that nut job, Paul,

airtime on their
television station.

What a crock.

- Yeah, I don't know
what to think about it.

- My only fear is the people
will be following him around

like a bunch of dumb sheep.

- You mean, like
the real Paul wrote.

Where is it, about,
"itching ears."

- Exactly, I think we're
talking about II Timothy 4,

"For the time will come

"when men will not put
up with sound doctrine.

"Instead, to suit
their own desires

"they will gather around them
a great number of teachers

"to say what their itching
ears want to hear."

- I agree, we might lose
people in our congregation

and that won't be good
after all the hard work

and time and effort
we've put into it.

- I wish there was something
we could do to stop it.

- I think there is
something we can do.

We may not be able to
stop him in his tracks

but we can sure slow him down.

♪ Found me

♪ 'Cause your love
found me, oh ♪

♪ And after all these years

♪ I've come to see

♪ That I don't have

- You know, I've
heard of this place,

but I've never
actually made it out.

- Yeah, the music's good,
atmosphere's awesome.

Anyway, I forgot to tell you

but I kind actually promised
my roommate I'd come out

and support him on this show.

- He sings?

- No, he fancies
himself a comedian.

- Ah.
- He's actually gonna go on

in between their set.

- Is he funny?

- He thinks he is.

(Both laughing)

No, he cracks me up sometimes.

Anyway, he has this
Seinfeld kind of style

where he pokes fun at people.

- Oh, so, does he
use you for material?

- No way, he knows
better than that!

- [Kayla] Sure.

you get into truck driving.

- It's a long story.

It's kinda what I
do for a living.

(Upbeat music)

(Tim laughing)

What?
- Can't pass this up.

- Pass what up?

- Can I have this dance?

- No, Tim, I don't, sorry.

- It's all right, come let's go.

You don't need to know the song.

- I just want you to know,

I haven't done anything
like this in a long time.

- Should I be worried.

- Well, I'm just very picky.

- Well, I guess I'll take
that as a compliment.

♪ You have my heart

- So a few years ago,

I was a youth pastor
and I was engaged.

And well, long story short,
she got terribly sick

and within two years
she died of cancer.

So that's why I drive a truck.

I just had to get away
and be alone for a while.

I mean, some people just
look to rebound right away.

- Tim, I'm so sorry.

Hey.

I'm honored you asked me out.

- Thanks.

You know, I see things
more clearly now.

- Like your faith.

- Yeah, you know,

like some things just
don't make sense yet,

I still believe.

Even more so now.

I mean, look at Paul, he's
such a mind blow, right.

- For sure.

I fell in love with
Jesus a few years ago,

so, meeting Paul has been
enlightening to say the least.

- You know, I sensed
something different about you.

(Kayla laughing)

Oh hey.

- Sorry about that.

- That's my roommate.

- [Kayla] Should I go?

- My name is Jalen.

This is my first
time doing comedy

So I'll appreciate if
you all don't laugh

because ain't you so tired
that you go to a f-in' movie

and the writer
writes a character

that drops 100 f-bombs
as if it's cool,

or a teenagers or college
kids using the f-bomb

as a useless adjective.

Like, don't get me wrong,

I use a few select
words here and there.

But what I want to do tonight,

I want to do the power of the Z.

The Z-revolution.

Think about it.

The letter Z sits in the
back of the alphabet all day,

unappreciated, unused, lonely Z.

And then what's next to Z?

The irritatin' Y.

The annoying,
irritating letter Y.

Y this, Y that, all day.

And then what's next
to the Y, the X.

Now who wants to
be next to the X?

So this is what I'm askin' you.

I'm asking all of you, next
time you feel like saying f-you.

Why don't you just zuck you.

Or you feelin' like
usin' the S word,

say I don't give a zit.

I mean all you all to join me
in the revolution of the Z.

Z, Z, Z, Z.

Hey, this has been Jalen,
you all been a good crowd.

I respect ya, I
love ya, thank you.

(Audience applauding)

- You are definitely insane.

I guess you two have met?

- What did you think?

- You know, there's
only one word

that I can think of
to describe all that.

- What's that?

- Zany.

(Tim laughing)

- She hit you with a zinger.

- You all are perfect
for each other.

(Tim and Kayla laughing)

(gentle music)

- So, how 'bout
those moves, huh?

- (Laughs) You know, I tell
you, when that music started,

I don't know what came over me

but I just, I got
the urge to move.

And I was so happy that I
got you to move with me,

'cause that was
really, really fun.

- [Kayla] It was.

- I can't tell you how
amazing this night has been.

It's probably been one

of the best nights I've
had in a long time.

- Me too.

I've been horse crazy for
as long as I can remember.

- I'd like to meet him.

- I think I can arrange that.

- [Tim] Yeah?

- Yeah, I'll let him know
you're coming. (Laughs)

- Great.

So should I call him horse
or does he have a name?

- His name's Shiloh.

- Shiloh.

Sounds like a happy horse.

(Both laughing)

So, do I really need
you leading the horse

while I'm riding it?

- Yeah, you'll want it, at least
for the first couple times.

- All right, Shiloh,
me and you, we go.

- [Kayla] What?

Heels down.

- Heels down.

- Just got the low
center of gravity.

- All right, Shiloh.
- Yes, he's now going forward.

You're just gonna squeeze
with your heels and click.

(Tongue clicking)

Mm-hm, just like that.

- Hey, what do you know.

I'm a cowboy.

So does Shiloh have another
gear we can shift to?

- You want to go
a little faster?

- Please.

- Alrighty, hold on.

(Upbeat music)

Good boy.

- That was fun.
- Well, you did a good job.

- Well, thank you.

Now I'd like to see
what you can do?

- Well, I generally
ride him bareback.

- Oh really?
- Mm-hm.

- Well, please show me.

(Dog barking)

(Kayla moaning)

Kayla, oh God!

Kayla, are you okay?

(Kayla laughing)

You're laughing.

This is a joke.

Oh my God!

- [Kayla] Tim, I'm fine.

- No, I can't handle that.

(Kayla laughing)

Oh man.
- Tim, where you going?

- You scared the crap out of me.

- Tim, I teach all my
students how to fall,

it's an important skill to have.

- You're not training this
cowboy, I'm done. (Laughing)

Gotcha.

Oh, you thought only you
could play this game. (Moans)

(Kayla laughing)

(moans) Call the
medic, call the medic.

- [Kayla] Medic's here,
what did you do, sir.

- I think I broke my butt.

- Well hop up.

(Both laughing)

And don't fall over.

- My hero.
- Oh.

- So you're gonna teach me

that stunt of falling
off of horses?

- You want to?

- Sure.

Fall off a fence.
- Let's do it.

- Right now.

- You want to right now?

I think, I think we
need to relax for a bit.

- I think I need to
rest just butt and back.

- And actually, I think I
need to go find my horse.

- Oh yeah, I guess
we gotta do that.

Do you remember the other
night when you told me

that your horse helped you
with your father's passing?

- Mm-hm.

- What did you mean by that?

- Shiloh here, he's
heard all my problems

and he never tries to fix them.

I can remember so many times

I'd sneak out my bedroom
window, hop on him,

look at the stars and
laugh and cry and...

That's all I needed.

- Well, he's lucky to have you.

(Birds chirping)

(engine puttering)

- Can you believe that guy?

Taking 10 minutes
to line up his chip.

We're gonna be out here all day.

- Yeah, they act like they're
on the PGA tour or something.

(Birds chirping)

Man, did you see that putt, wow.

- I tell you what, I'd
like to get my ball

and just knock it on the green

and get 'em goin' a little bit.

- That reminds me of a story.

So this guy, Gus,
he's out on the course

and he's waiting around,
just like we are and he says,

"I never get to
the green anyway,

"I'm gonna go ahead
and hit my ball."

So he gets over, and of course

he hits the best
shot of his life.

Takes one bounce, knocks
out the guy that's putting.

So he runs up there and he goes,

"Oh my gosh, are you
okay, are you okay?"

And this guy comes to and he
goes, "What were you thinking!

"I'm a lawyer, I'm gonna
sue you for $5 million."

Gus goes, "I yelled fore!"

And the lawyer goes, "I'll
take it, I'll take it!"

- Man, that's really good.

(Men laughing)

- Unbelievable, geez.

Hey Dwight, I understand that
you may be getting together

with this nut who says
he's the Apostle Paul

for that unity event.

Are you?

- I've been giving it a
lot of thought and prayer.

I'm actually gonna
emcee the event

at Paul and Tim's request.

- Are you serious?

- I think even if the body
of Christ gets together three

or four times a year,
it's a great idea.

- Well, I was
thinkin' about going,

I'm just not sure I
want to be a part.

- Well, we're not going.

They may say we're only
getting together three

or four times now but
I think it's gonna lead

to something more
and we're worried

about losing our congregation.

- If it's not of God,
it'll fizzle out.

But I have a feeling that this
could be something special.

- Hey, I think they're done.

Come on, Dwight,
it's your shot, man.

(Phone beeping)

(phone ringing)

- Hello, Officer Duncan.

- This is Pastor Tennison.

- Oh, how can I help you?

- Actually, you
can be a big help.

- Oh, and how's that.

- [Tennison] I think you
can think of something.

We need to get Paul and
(murmuring) behind bars.

- Do what, I was struggling.

That was all confidential,
it's over now.

- Look, I'm not sure your
wife will see it that way.

It'll still be confidential,

as long as you keep
your end of the bargain.

(Duncan sighs)

(ominous music)

- Is something wrong.

- Oh no, I've seen you on
TV, I'm Officer Duncan.

I just wanted to meet you.

- [Paul] Hello.

- That's quite a
Bible you have there.

Mind if I take a look at it.

Now, what were you doing
over at the church?

- I was inviting the
leader to our event.

- Paul, I'm shocked.

- What is that?

- It's methamphetamine,
an illegal drug.

- What?

- I'm afraid I'm gonna have
to put you under arrest.

(Handcuffs clicking)

(upbeat music)

- In a strange twist of events,

just one day before a planned
faith gathering led by the man

who has become known
as the Apostle Paul,

Paul was arrested
and booked on charges

of possession of meth.

- Yes, everyone who knows Paul
is in a state of unbelief.

Paul is being held

until legal action can
be pursued next week.

- What are you in for?

- They say they found what
is called meth in my Bible.

- (Laughs) Are you serious?

- Do I know you?

- Maybe from a different life.

- Why are you here?

- Assault.

- What is this, assault.

- What?

- Assault.

(Fist thudding)

I know this.

I did this to Christians
many, many years ago.

I was on the way to do
it to more Christians.

It is said that Yeshua
knocked me off my horse

but I wasn't on a horse.

- What, you're
messing with my mind.

- There's more.

- Hello, everyone,
I'm Pastor Reynolds.

I believe the Father
is smiling as he looks

and sees us coming
together as one,

across denominational names.

That the world would take notice

and believe the
Father sent the Son.

I am disappointed
because I thought

we would fill this auditorium.

Paul not being here has
effected the turnout.

But thank you all for coming.

It took me a while to believe
he is who he says he was.

Paul, from the 1st century.

So before we begin, let's
pray for our brother, Paul,

who is in jail, that
justice might be done

and that he might
be released swiftly.

(Dramatic music)

We begin our unity event
with a beautiful dance

which demonstrates Psalm 133.

"Behold how good and
how pleasant it is

"for the brethren to
dwell together in unity."

Thank you.

Come on up.

- As you saw a while
ago on the news,

my daughter, Sophie, who
was born deaf believed

that God would heal
her through Paul.

And here she is.

- My life was good,
and now it's awesome.

I thank the Lord for
his kindness to me.

And I love to hear
all the music.

(Keys rattling)

- [Duncan] Ray, pack
it up, it's time to go.

- Finally, about time.

- Officer Barnhart,
he's all yours.

How are you, Paul.

- I am confused.

Why am I here?

I did nothing wrong.

- I know, I really messed up.

- What do you mean?

- I didn't want to arrest,

but the man who
made me do it knew

I'd been cheating
on my wife. (Crying)

I do love my wife and I do
need to make things right.

And I need to let you go.

And I need to face
my consequences.

- You are very brave.

Let us pray, for you, for your
wife and for your job here.

Dear God.

(Dramatic music)

(door rattling)

- Wow!

Do you believe in prayer!

Paul, Paul, come on up here.
(Audience applauding)

Look at that.

(Microphone tapping)

Yes.

- I'm so happy to
see you all here.

Thank you for your
prayers that set me free.

(Audience applauding)

I came to Eugene,
I did not know why.

And I was very, very sad to see

that many Christians
worship apart.

I prayed and I know I'm
here to bring you together.

And here you all are, together.

Do not be discouraged.

There are enough of you here
to change the world again.

I want you to meet and to
grow together as Christians.

To fill that football stadium.

(Audience cheering)

Thank you and praise Yeshua.

(Audience applauding)

- Hey, I didn't know
you were gonna be there.

So what did you think?

- It was pretty powerful.

- Oh yeah.

- Yeah, I think it's time for
me to turn a new leaf on life.

And drown the old man.

- Wait, what are
you talkin' about?

What old man.

- Myself, I'm talking
about getting baptized.

- Wow.

That's great.

- So, what you up to tomorrow.

- Tomorrow, well, I'm
gonna meet with Kayla.

- Oh, so the plot thickens.

- Like your soup.

What is this, gravy
you're making?

- Whatever it is, it's the best.

I mean, there's a lot of

It's always been a dream

- Wow.

Well, that's very honorable.

So, can I get a high five?

Last night I had a dream,
I must return to Rome.

So, my beautiful
saints, I say goodbye.

- [Woman] Aw.

(Gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- [Tim] I guess I shouldn't
have been surprised

when Paul said,

"In order to leave he
needed to return to Rome."

It was hard to say goodbye
with so much left to do.

But I was reminded,

that's how the Lord left
his followers so long ago.

I watched him walking
so purposefully.

Stop, and then all of a sudden
he was taken in a whirlwind.

I just stood there
in stunned silence.

But why should I be stunned

or expect anything less
from this incredible man

and our amazing God.

I walked away
knowing, that for me,

the rest of my life
will be devoted

to fulfilling the desire of
Paul and the Lord Jesus' heart,

helping believers unite as one,

using whatever talents I have.

I think she'll really,
really appreciate it.

And I'll get to read it too.

- Great, well, thank
you for your support.

- Thank you, oh, you know what,

I would really like to
have a picture of you two,

holding this book,
would that be okay.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

- Perfect.
