War Room (2015) - full transcript

War.

It's been a part of
humanity in every age.

We fight for power,

for riches,

for rights or for freedom.

There always seems to
be something to fight for.

But one thing has
remained true of every war.

Behind the field of battle,
someone has developed a strategy.

This was part of my
husband's role in the army.

He would look at what
the enemy was doing,

then begin putting
together the resources



and a plan to
fight against them.

He was a crucial
part of this process

until a heart attack
claimed his life.

That was a hard time
for me and our son.

I was reminded that
death is a part of life,

and that the life we're given
should never be taken for granted.

It's been 40 years
since Leo passed,

but I still hold on to the many
lessons I learned from that time.

I find myself amazed that of the
many battles we engage in today,

be it money, control
or matters of the heart,

very few of us know
how to fight the right way,

or understand who we're
really fighting against.

To win any battle,

you've got to have the
right strategy and resources,



because victories
don't come by accident.

Hey, Mom, I gotta go. Yeah.

All right, okay. Bye.

Jason and David, get rid of the
ball and help me with these boxes!

Oh!

Oh! I am so sorry. You
must be Elizabeth Jordan.

- I am. And you're Melissa?
- Yes.

I'm sorry. We just
started packing.

Oh, no problem. Can
I help you with that?

Honey. Honey, I gotta
be in Knoxville at 2:00.

Uh, but I finished the closet.
That was in the refrigerator.

- Real estate agent.
- Software rep.

How did you know that?

It's on that folder you're
holding in your hand.

I would love to stay. I'm
very sorry I have to leave.

My wife can answer
everything about the house.

We realize it's a disaster and
we've agreed to blame it on the kids.

- So, I'll call you later.
- Love you!

I understand. My husband does
the same thing. Pharmaceuticals.

Oh. Does he ever
get tired of the travel?

No, I do not.

I enjoy the drive.

Well, we're excited to do
business with you, Tony.

- Hey, tell Coleman I said hello.
- I'll do it.

And, uh, thanks
for the new driver.

Hey, you enjoy it, okay?

- I will.
- All right.

Good to see you.

Gentlemen, we'll be in touch.

I see you made the sale.

- Of course.
- I'm impressed.

Most guys run out with
their tail between their legs.

I'm Tony Jordan.

Veronica Drake. I
work for Mr. Barnes.

I'll be your contact
for the purchase.

Okay. Well, Veronica Drake,

I guess I'll be seeing you
again when I return in two weeks.

I look forward to it.

Mom?

I'm in here, Danielle.

Here's my last report card.

I still got one C.

Oh, baby. You have
an A in everything else.

One C in math is not that bad.

At least you get a break
for the summer, right?

Is that your feet?

I'm sorry, baby, I ran
out of foot powder.

That smells terrible!

I know, Danielle. I just needed
to take my shoes off for a minute.

That's, like, awful.

Well, don't just sit
there looking at them.

Why don't you give me a
hand and rub them right there?

Ew. No way.

Girl, go set the
table for dinner.

When your daddy gets home, you
can show him your report card. Okay?

- Yes, ma'am.
- All right.

I just heard him
pull in, Danielle.

Will he be mad about my C?

I already told you, baby, a
C is not that bad. It's okay.

Hey, Daddy.

Hey, Danielle.

I got my last report card. I
made all A's except for one C.

So, I just got a notification
that you moved $5,000

from our savings into
your checking account.

That better not be so you
can prop up your sister again.

You just gave that much
money to your family last month.

And my sister needs it
more than your parents do.

My parents are elderly. Okay?

Your sister married a bum,

and I'm not supporting
someone who's too lazy to work.

Darren is not a bum.

He's just having a
hard time finding a job.

Liz, he is a bum.

Look, I can't even remember
the last time he had a job.

Can we talk about this later?

No, we'll talk about it now.

Because if you want to give
them what you make, that's fine.

- But you're not giving them my money.
- Your money?

The last time I checked, we
both put money into that account.

And the last time I checked, I
make four times what you do.

So you don't move a cent out of
that account without asking me first.

Can we please just eat dinner?

You know what? Go ahead.

I'm going to the gym.

Oh!

Ballgame!

- Whoo-hoo!
- That was sick, man! That was sick.

- You all right, dog?
- Yeah. Why?

You look like you're
playing a little mad tonight.

So? You know that
means I play better.

Better means ball hog?

Dude, I can't get a pass from
you. It'd be easier to baptize a cat.

I just needed to blow
off a little steam. Okay?

- Well, I hope you're done.
- I gotta go.

Yo, yo, yo, you're
coming to church, right?

Maybe.

Maybe means no.

Hey, Tony, man.
You gotta hit me one.

Come on, man. I gotta go.

Dude, I just told all
these guys. Just one.

Watch this.

Told you!

The favor of God can't be
bought, traded or manipulated.

Because people
still come to church

with their hearts totally
distant from the Lord.

But they think they could
put on their Sunday best,

and throw a super spiritual smile
on their face and impress God.

God is looking for people who
will seek him with a whole heart.

So it all comes down to this.
We either seek Him or we don't.

And God surely knows the difference
between the two, and so should we.

Danielle, I have to meet
a client in the morning,

so I'm going to drop you off early
at the community center, okay?

Okay. Can we pick
up Jennifer on the way?

Sure, if it's okay
with her mother.

Who's Jennifer?

She's on my Double Dutch team.

I thought you were
playing basketball.

I wanted to jump rope again.

Tony, you should go see her practice
tomorrow. She's really very good.

I'm out of town this week.

When were you gonna tell me?

I just did.

Tony, I know you're the
company's top salesman,

but in order for this family to
function, we have to communicate.

I thought you'd
be here this week.

Well, if you want to continue to live
in this house, I have to make sales.

And that means being flexible.

Aren't you a little too
old to be jumping rope?

Here you go.

Now there's 5, 10, 15, 20.

And here's 5 extra
'cause I like your haircut.

Thank you, Ms. Williams.

I'm tired of seeing all these
young boys with sloppy hair

and pants around their knees.

- A man wears his pants around his waist.
- Yes, ma'am.

Well, tell your mama I said
hello. And I'll see you next week.

- Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Ms. Williams?

That's me.

You must be Elizabeth.

Well, it's so good to meet you.

You can call me Clara.

Well, come on in. Let
me show you the house.

I got to put my coffee pot
on. Can I get you something?

Oh, no, thank you.
I had mine at home.

This is a beautiful house.

I think so, too.

Built in 1905.

And I've lived here
almost 50 years.

Leo added that sun porch
on the back all by himself.

Oh, this must be Leo.

That's Leo.

We were married for
14 years before he died.

He had just been promoted to
captain before that picture was taken.

He was so handsome
in that uniform.

He's fine, ain't he?

Yes, we wanted
five or six children,

but the Lord only gave us Clyde,
'cause he was all I could handle.

You see that big crack
over there on the wall?

That was Clyde.

Now, this is my
third favorite place.

It's my sitting room.

- Hmm. What do you do in here?
- Mainly sit.

Well, come on in here. Let
me show you the dining room.

Now this is my
second favorite place.

I love this room.

This is beautiful.

And I love this fireplace.

I've got a lot of good
memories in here.

Yes, I do.

Lot of laughter.

And a few tears, too.

Now this is why I'm moving in
with Clyde a few blocks away. Ooh!

It's getting harder to
negotiate these stairs.

Okay, so three bedrooms
and two full baths.

- Do you mind if I take some pictures?
- Oh, go ahead, that's fine.

Oh, you got one of
those smart phones.

I've been meaning to
get me one of those.

Can't do nothing with
my phone but call folks.

Must be a dumb phone.

- You got it?
- I do.

They say if you live in a house
with stairs, you'll live longer.

So I should make it to 180.

This is fascinating, Ms. Clara.

Oh, that's my Wall
of Remembrance.

And when things aren't
going so well, I look back on it,

and I'm reminded that
God is still in control.

It encourages me.

I sure could use some of that.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Okay. So, I've got a few
questions about utilities,

and then we should probably
talk about the asking price.

All right.

Okay. So, I think I got
everything that I need for now.

So nice to meet you, Ms. Clara.

Listen, if you're
available tomorrow,

I'd like to come by and show
you some comparisons in the area.

Well, why don't you come by
for coffee tomorrow morning

and we'll talk about
it then? Say 10:00?

Ah. Okay. Yeah, I can do
that. I'll see you at 10:00.

By the way, what's
your most favorite room?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

Then I look forward to tomorrow.

Mmm-hmm.

How you doing?

- Mr. Jordan?
- Yes.

- Samples closet?
- Yes, please.

- Right this way.
- All right.

You can just use the third shelf
down and just leave the door open,

- and I'll come back and get it later.
- All right. Thank you.

You must be Mr. Jordan.

Dr. Morris, yes. I'm Tony Jordan,
Brightwell Pharmaceuticals.

We met last March.

- I remember. How are you?
- I'm doing fine.

I saw your write-up on new stimulants
and you showed interest in Predizim.

So I just left you a case
in your samples closet.

Oh, that's fantastic.
I appreciate that.

Oh, it's no problem. You'll easily
find them. It's the third shelf, blue caps.

Now what I need you to do
though, is just sign this receipt.

And it just shows that
I left them with you.

Now, Dr. Morris, if you need
any more, you just let me know

and I'll be glad to
bring some over.

Thank you, Tony.
We'll try them out.

All right. Sounds good.
We'll see you again.

Right.

And I'll be looking
forward to that next article.

Thank you.

And he thinks it's
my sister's fault.

Can you even believe that?

Well, if my man said that
to me, I'd be angry, too.

We don't fight that
much anymore.

After 31 years of stalemates,
girl, it just is not worth it.

Oh, I wouldn't put up with it.

His money became your
money the minute he said, "I do."

So I'd give it to
my sister anyway.

I don't even like my sister.

Just be careful, Elizabeth.

You do not want World War
III to break out in your home.

No. No, I don't.

But there are days,
Mandy. There are days.

It's hard to submit
to a man like that.

You know what my
mama used to say to me?

She used to say that sometimes
submission is learning to duck

so God can hit your husband.

Hmm. It's tough being a woman.

You got that right.

Veronica, this is Tony Jordan.

We met a few days ago
after I met with Mr. Barnes.

Hey, listen, uh, I'll be coming
through town next week

and I was wondering if you could
recommend a couple of nice restaurants.

Feel free to call me
back at this number.

Take care.

I appreciate you
coming this morning.

Coffee will be ready
in a couple of minutes.

Oh, sounds good.

I ran a sales report
from the area.

I wrote down a suggested
asking price for the house.

Mmm-hmm.

Well, what do you think?

Mmm-hmm.

Now, what did you say
your husband did for a living?

Um, well, we actually
haven't talked about that,

but he's a sales rep for
Brightwell Pharmaceuticals.

Mmm-hmm.

And where did you say
you attended church?

Well, we occasionally
attend Riverdale Community.

Mmm-hmm.

So you would say
you know the Lord.

Yes! I would say
I know the Lord.

You think the Lord is
okay with this asking price?

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

And you have children?

Ms. Clara, my husband, Tony,
and I have been married for 16 years.

We have one daughter. Her
name is Danielle and she's 10.

She enjoys pop music and
ice cream and jumping rope.

Oh. Well, that's good to know.

Now, you say you attend
church occasionally.

Is that because your pastor
only preaches occasionally?

Ms. Clara, I really would like
to help you sell your house.

That's why I'm here.

As far as my faith is concerned, I
believe in God, just like most people.

He's very important to me.

Mmm-hmm. Well,
let me get our coffee.

So, if I asked you what
your prayer life was like,

would you say that
it was hot or cold?

I don't know that I
would say it's hot.

I mean, we're like most people.
We have full schedules. We work.

But I would consider
myself a spiritual person.

I'm not hot, but I'm not cold either.
Just, you know, somewhere in the middle.

Here you go.

- I've got cream or sugar if you need it.
- Oh, no, thank you. I like it black.

Ms. Clara, you like your
coffee room temperature?

No, baby, mine's hot.

Elizabeth,

people drink their
coffee hot or cold,

but nobody likes it
lukewarm, not even the Lord.

Point taken, Ms. Clara.

But why do you feel the need
to examine my personal life?

Because I've been where you are.

And you don't have to step on
the same land mines that I did.

That's a waste of time.

And this asking
price is just fine.

Let me get you a
hot cup of coffee.

I was a little sneaky last time.

What land mines do
you think I might step on?

You tell me.

Now, if there was one thing in
your life that you could make better,

what would it be?

Just one?

Well, I'd probably have
to say my marriage.

If there's one thing
we do well, it's fight.

No, I don't think you do.

I'm sorry?

Just because you argue a lot
doesn't mean that you fight well.

Every couple has some
friction every now and then.

But I bet that you never
feel like you've won

after you've had an
argument with your husband.

Can I ask you how much
you pray for your husband?

Uh...

Well, very little.

Elizabeth,

I think it's time for me to show
you my favorite place in this house.

Now, this is where
I do my fighting.

A closet?

I call it my war room.

So...

So, you wrote prayers
for each area of your life?

A prayer strategy. Yes.

Now, I used to do what you
and your husband are doing,

but it got me nowhere.

And then I really started
studying what the scriptures say.

And God showed me that it wasn't
my job to do the heavy lifting. No.

That was something
that only He could do.

It was my job to seek Him, to
trust Him and to stand on His word.

Ms. Clara, I've never
seen anything like this.

And I admire it, I
really do. I just...

I don't have time to
pray that much every day.

But you apparently have time to
fight losing battles with your husband.

Elizabeth,

if you will give me
one hour a week,

I can teach you how to fight the
right way with the right weapons.

Since you're good with the asking
price, I'll go ahead and list the house.

I'd, uh... Like to think
about our other discussion.

Elizabeth, please forgive
me for being so direct,

but I see in you a warrior

that needs to be awakened.

But I will respect whatever
decision you make.

Thank you, Ms. Clara. I
hope you have a good day.

You, too.

Don't let me push
too hard, Lord.

I know I got a big mouth.

If they do that stunt in
the competition, they'll win.

Why don't you ask your dad
about helping us get uniforms?

He's not here. It's not
like he would care anyway.

Can you ask your mom? My mom
already gave part of the money.

Come on, we can go to my room.

So, I told my dad that
he could jump with us,

and he totally started laughing.

He said he would only
do it if Mom did it with him,

which, of course,
she would never do.

So, they, like, start talking
about doing the worst routine ever.

Like, in a funny way.

And she starts laughing so
hard, her face turned bright red.

Then she starts squeaking
'cause she couldn't breathe.

It was hilarious.

I wish I lived at your house.

Whenever my parents
are together, they just fight.

Jennifer, how's your family?

Fine.

Would you like to stay for dinner?
You're welcome to eat with us.

Okay.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go change.

I'll call you girls
down in a few minutes.

Danielle...

You know we love you, right?

That wasn't very convincing.

Well, I think you
love me a little bit.

A little bit?

Danielle, you're my daughter.

You're the most important
thing in the whole world to me.

You gotta believe that.

What's my team name?

Um...

The Firecrackers.

That was last year.

What are our colors?

What jump rope tricks
did I just learn to do?

Who's my new coach?

What award did I win
last week on my team?

You won an award last week?

Danielle, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Well, good morning.

Her heart is just breaking
and I was completely unaware.

Tony, he's completely unaware.

That man is running
out of time, Ms. Clara.

He's off in his own world
being top salesman somewhere

while his daughter is growing more
and more calloused to him every day.

He shows no interest
in anybody but himself.

And another thing. I
don't have proof of this,

but if he's not getting it from me,
he's got to be getting it from somebody.

He makes all these little flirtatious
comments to other women...

Uh, uh, uh. Elizabeth,
just so I know,

how much of the one
hour we got together today

are you gonna spend
whining about your husband?

And how much we gonna spend
on what the Lord can do about it?

I'm sorry, Ms. Clara. I just get so
wound up the more I think about it.

Your thoughts about your husband
are almost entirely negative, aren't they?

He acts like an enemy to me.

See, you're fighting
the wrong enemy.

Now, your husband certainly has
his issues, but he's not your enemy.

When I fought
against my husband,

I was fighting against my
own marriage and my family.

Now, I tried for years to
fix Leo, but I couldn't do it.

Well, I haven't got
anywhere with Tony.

'Cause it's not your job.

Who said that it was your
responsibility to fix Tony?

It's your job to love him, to
respect him and to pray for the man.

God knows he needs it.

And men don't like it when their
woman's always trying to fix them.

Elizabeth,

you got to plead with God so that
He can do what only He can do.

And then you got to get out
of the way and let Him do it!

I don't even know
where to start.

Here.

You will find some of my
favorite scriptures in here.

They were my battle
plan to pray for my family.

You can start with that.

Mmm, hey, hey, hey

Said you been bound up

Lookin' for a way to break free

Devil's had you tied up

Listen to these words from me

Your situation may seem hopeless

- But it's not the
end - Oh, yeah

Though you are burdened
and have shackles on your feet

Now, I want you to know
You're about to break loose

You're about to break loose

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Jesus took the keys
and gave 'em to you

So here's what you gotta do

Shake loose Everything
that binds you up

Who told you

Who told you that
you can't make it

When God says that you
can shake it Shake loose

Everything that binds you up

- Praise Him like it's your last chance
- Get up and do the David dance

Shake yourself loose

Mom?

I'm in here, Danielle.

Mom, are you okay?

Yes. What do you need?

Why are you eating
chips in the closet?

I'm just having some
private time. Okay?

Okay.

Um, Jennifer wanted to
know if I could spend the night.

I already did my chores,
and it's okay with her parents.

Okay, but I want you home
by lunch tomorrow. Okay?

- Yes, ma'am.
- And, Danielle,

don't tell anybody I was
eating chips in this closet.

Don't tell anyone my mom was
eating chips in the closet, okay?

- Who are you talking to?
- Jennifer.

Jennifer?

Yes, ma'am?

I'm asking you not to tell anybody
I was eating chips in my closet.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

What's that smell?

That would be my
shoes, Jennifer.

And if you girls would kindly shut the
door, you won't have to smell it anymore.

Is she not allowed to eat chips?

I can have all the chips
I want! This is my house!

Great.

Hello, Tony. How are you?

- Julia, how're you doing?
- I'm doing well, thanks.

- Having a good day?
- I am, thank you.

Um, Coleman's expecting
you and Tom's in there, too.

Thanks for the heads up.

You're welcome. Right this way.

- All right, thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

- Tony! How's my favorite rep?
- Real good. How're you doing?

- Heard we got the Holcombe account.
- Yes, we did.

- That's fantastic. You did it again.
- Appreciate that. Thank you.

Even Tom was impressed,
and you know that's hard to do.

- Good work.
- Thank you.

Look, I know you're on your way
home, but we just wanted to say thanks.

And you got a nice bonus
check coming your way.

- I like that.
- Yeah, you do.

- How's Elizabeth?
- She's good.

- Tell her I said hello.
- I'll do it.

- Good to see you.
- All right.

Cynthia, it's not gonna do
you any good to fight about it.

You can't get the job for him.

Well, is he trying at all?

Is he sending out resumes
or making calls, anything?

I know.

Well, I'm sorry, but he's making it hard,
not just on you but everybody around you.

No, I'm not saying that we're not gonna
help. We're still talking about it. Okay?

Listen, Tony just got
home. I need to call you later.

Yeah. I love you, too. Bye.

- How was your trip?
- It was good.

- I take it that was your sister.
- Yep.

Darren getting a job?

Not yet.

Not yet as in he's trying?

Or not yet as in he's still sitting
on the couch playing video games?

Tony, what he does
is not Cynthia's fault.

Listen, she just needs one
month's rent and a car payment.

I think we should
at least do that.

Cynthia married a loser. Okay?

That was her choice when
everybody told her not to.

- It is her fault.
- Tony, she cannot control him.

She's got a job,
but it's not enough.

Listen, I'm not asking
for $5,000 anymore.

I'm asking for one month's
rent and a car payment.

And the next month you'll be
asking for the same thing, Liz.

So the answer is still no.

And what is that smell in here?

I'm putting powder in my shoes.

- Well, can't you do that outside?
- Yes.

Tony, if you
won't do it for her,

do it for me.

No.

- You got another bonus?
- Yes, sir.

Dude, I went in the
wrong line of work.

Well, I couldn't have
been a paramedic.

- You got that right, bro.
- And you too calm to be a salesman.

Yeah. Yeah, but
could you imagine

if I got bonuses every time
I saved somebody's life?

Ohhh! Check it
out. Heimlich, $200.

Right? Um, CPR, $400.

Right.

Like $1,000, if they're ugly.

Dude, you remember that one lady who
had swallowed that garlic and she choked,

and I had to give
her mouth-to-mouth?

- Yeah.
- That should've been a Hawaiian vacation.

- I couldn't have done it.
- Yeah. You could do it.

You're not gonna let somebody die
in front of you while you eat your salad.

I don't do CPR, Mike.
I'd have just called 911.

That's just cold. You just
gonna let somebody die?

Yo, what if it was your wife?

Hold on, brother.
What? What's that?

- What is that?
- What's what?

Dude, what's up
with you and Liz?

Nothing.

Nothing? Look at
you getting all uptight.

You got extra veins popping
out that wasn't even there before.

Mike, I'm just tired of her.
Okay? All right? I said it.

- I'm just tired of her junk.
- Her junk?

Dude, you married
her, junk and all.

It's not some sort of buffet where you
get to pick and choose what you want.

You get all of her, bro.

And you better not have somebody

on the side.

So, you're trying to do CPR
on my personal life now?

Okay. Yeah, I'm a paramedic.
But I'm also a Christian,

which means I help people
while I'm helping people.

Mike, look, we've been
friends for a long time,

but some things are just
none of your business.

True, and since we've
been friends a long time,

I'm not just gonna
watch your marriage die.

So if it's bleeding, I'm not
gonna keep eating my salad.

I'll see you in church.

I'd like to see the
church in you, bro.

Hey, somebody need
to come move this.

This was a treat
for me, Elizabeth.

I enjoy coming here. And
your daughter is precious.

She is.

You know, there are days I
wish she had a brother or sister.

We were just too busy
chasing our careers.

I don't know that that
was a wise thing to do.

You don't enjoy your job?

Oh, there are days I do. Sold a
house this morning, so that was good.

I'd just rather have a good
marriage than more money.

Mom! Can we go get ice cream?

They sell it right over there.

Ms. Clara, would you
like some ice cream?

I'll tell you what.

If you go get the ice cream and
let your mother walk me to the car,

- I'll pay for it.
- Oh, no, no, no. I'm paying for it.

And rob me of a blessing?
I'm paying, we're all eating.

And I'll take two scoops of
Butter Pecan, please. In a cup.

I'll have one scoop of
Cookies and Cream, okay?

And listen, just
stay right there,

'cause we're gonna pull the car
around and pick you up at the entrance.

Okay. Can I have strawberry sherbet with
gummy worms and chocolate syrup on top?

Ugh!

So, what does a normal
week in your life look like?

Well, my son drops in for an
hour or two during the week.

I go grocery shopping,
an occasional doctor's visit,

and my girlfriends and I get together
on Friday afternoons for coffee.

Other than that, I read a lot
and I spend time with Jesus.

I used to spend so much time

with my girlfriends
before my job...

Give me your money right now.

Did you hear me? Both
of you, give it to me now.

Okay. Okay, we will. Just
please, put the knife down.

Do it, and do it now!

No.

Now you put that knife down
right now in the name of Jesus.

And you believe
he was early 20s?

Yeah. Maybe 25.

So, let me get this straight.

He was pointing a knife at you

and you told him to put
it down in Jesus' name?

Right. Now when you write
that down, don't leave out Jesus.

People always leaving Jesus out.

That's one of the reasons
we're in the mess we in.

Yes, ma'am.

You know, what concerns me is
that you could've easily been killed.

Well, I know a lot of people probably
would've given him their money.

I understand that, but
that's their decision.

Are you not eating your
ice cream, Elizabeth?

No. I'm not hungry anymore.

Well, let me help you with that. No
reason to waste perfectly good ice cream.

Mmm!

Oh, oh, oh! Now
that's good! Mmm-hmm.

I'm sorry, I just thought
I should call Tony.

I understand.

You'd think he'd
be more alarmed.

He just kept saying that
since we were all okay,

I should just calm down.

I'm having trouble
calming down myself.

Really? You seemed calm earlier.

Yeah, but I got a huge
sugar-rush from all that ice cream.

I feel like I can run around
the block a few times.

Oh. Uh...

While we on the subject of Tony,
I have something for you to do.

What's that?

I want you to write down everything
that you can think of that he's done wrong.

Ms. Clara, if I did that,
I'd be writing a long time.

Well, then just write
down the highlights.

And I'll be back to check
on you in a little while.

Well, that's almost three pages.

And I could write more, but you'll
get the gist of it when you read it.

Actually, I'm not gonna read it.

My question to you is this.

In light of all these wrongs,
does God still love Tony?

We both know he does.

Do you?

Now, Ms. Clara, you're meddling.

There's love in my heart for Tony, but it's
just buried under a lot of frustration.

- So he needs grace.
- Grace?

I don't know that
he deserves grace.

Do you deserve grace?

Ms. Clara, you have a habit of backing
me up in a corner and making me squirm.

I felt the same way.

But the question still remains.
Do you deserve grace?

The Bible says that no one
is righteous, not even one.

For we have all sinned. So,
really, none of us deserve grace.

But we all still want
God's forgiveness.

Elizabeth, it
comes down to this.

Jesus shed his
blood on the cross.

He died for you. Even
when you did not deserve it.

And He rose from the grave and
offers forgiveness and salvation

for anyone who turns to Him.

But the Bible also says

that we can't ask Him to forgive
us while refusing to forgive others.

I know, Ms. Clara. But
that's just so hard to do.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

But that's where grace comes in!

He gives us grace!

And He helps us to give it to others,
even when they don't deserve it.

We all deserve judgment.

And that is what a holy God gives us when
we don't repent and believe in His Son.

I had to forgive Leo for some
things, and it wasn't easy.

But it freed me.

Elizabeth, there's not room for you
and God on the throne of your heart.

It's either Him or it's you.
You need to step down.

Now, if you want victory, you're
gonna have to first surrender.

But, Ms. Clara,

do I just back off and choose to forgive
and then just let him walk all over me?

God is a good defense
attorney. Trust it to Him.

And then you can turn
your focus to the real enemy.

The real enemy?

The one that wants
to remain hidden.

The one that
wants to distract you

and deceive you and divide you
from the Lord and your husband!

You see, that's how he works.

Satan comes to
steal, kill and destroy.

And he is stealing your joy.

He is killing your faith and
he's trying to destroy your family.

If I were you, I would get
my heart right with God.

And you need to do
your fighting in prayer!

And you need to kick the real enemy
out of your home with the word of God.

It's time for you
to fight, Elizabeth.

It's time for you to
fight for your marriage!

It's time for you to
fight the real enemy!

It's time for you to take
off the gloves and do it!

There's no magic in
the location you pray.

But scripture does say to go into
your inner room and pray in secret.

And your heavenly Father, who sees
what's done in secret, will reward you.

Now get rid of any distractions and
focus your heart and mind on Him.

Acknowledge that He is God,
and that you desperately need Him.

Now, be grateful for your blessings,
but lift your needs and requests to Him.

If you've got something
to confess, then confess it.

Ask Him for forgiveness.
Then choose to believe Him

when He says that He loves
you and will take care of you.

Then pray for the
heart of your husband,

your daughter and anyone else
that the Lord brings to your mind.

And don't rush it.

You take your time,
and then you listen.

God...

God, I need you.

I know I haven't
prayed like I should.

I know that I haven't... I
haven't followed you like I should.

But I need you, right now.

Lord, I've been
so angry at Tony,

and I'm still so angry at him.

But I don't want to
lose my marriage.

Lord, forgive me.

Forgive me.

I'm not his judge, you are.

But I'm asking you, please,

please don't let him do this.

Take over.

Please, take over.

Take my heart and
take all this anger.

Help him love me again.

And help me love him.

If he's doing something wrong,
don't let him get away with it.

Stand in his way.

I'm asking you, please,

to help me.

"The thief comes only to steal

"to kill and destroy.

"But I've come that you may
have a life, and have it abundantly."

"But the Lord is faithful.

"He will strengthen and
protect you from the evil one.

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil,

"and he will flee."

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil,
and he will flee."

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil,

"and he will flee."

I don't know where
you are, Devil,

but I know you can hear me.

You have played with my mind

and had your way long enough.

No more.

You are done!

Jesus is the Lord of this house.

And that means there's no
place for you here anymore.

So take your lies, your
schemes and your accusations,

and get out in Jesus' name!

You can't have my marriage.

You can't have my daughter.

And you sure can't have my man.

This house is under new management
and that means you are out!

And another thing.

I am so sick of you stealing
my joy, but that's changing, too.

My joy doesn't
come from my friends.

It doesn't come from my job.

It doesn't even come
from my husband.

My joy is found in Jesus.

And just in case you forgot,
he has already defeated you.

So go back to Hell where you
belong and leave my family alone.

You know what I'd
really like right now?

Tell me.

A glass of my favorite wine.

Okay, we can do
that. What is it?

It's not here.

It's at my apartment.

Well, if it's your
favorite, I'd like to try it.

Here you are, sir. Hope you
both have a wonderful evening.

Thank you. We will.

Veronica, listen.

I need a minute. All
right? I'll be right back.

Okay.

Mom?

Danielle?

What happened to your closet?

I'm doing something I
should've done a long time ago.

I'm learning how to pray

and fight

and trust.

By cleaning out your closet?

No. Well, yes. But no.

I mean, it needed
to be cleaned out.

But that's not why
I did it. I did it...

I did it to fight in prayer.

You're fighting God?

No, I'm not...

Well, sometimes I do fight God.

But I shouldn't 'cause
He always wins.

So, you know, I'm praying
for God to fight for me

'cause I am just sick of losing.

But not against God. I
need to lose against God.

I'm sick of losing in other
areas where I'm just fighting

but I just keep
losing all the time.

It's exhausting.

So I'm learning
how not to fight God

and how to let Him fight
for me so that we can all win.

Does that make any sense?

No.

You know what? I don't make
much sense when I'm tired.

You must be really tired.

Let's just go get a late night
snack. Okay? And I'll try it again.

Okay.

How many storms
have I been through

How many led me right to You

You're using the
pain, the hardest days

For my good, my good

So what do I fear
God, You are with me

Guiding my steps today

Through the mountains,
valleys sun and rain

Lord, lead the way Lead the way

I will follow, I will press on

Even when the walk feels long

Your hands hold me together
Your love is with me forever...

Now see, you're already
influencing your daughter.

This can change
everything for her.

I admit, when I first started praying in
there, 10 minutes seemed like an eternity.

Now I have a hard time
even wanting to leave.

One step in front of the other

I'm gonna press on, press on

Oh. Hello.

Whoa. Um...

I just need you to
sign for this package.

Oh. Thank you so much.

This is a present for my daughter.
I can't wait to give it to her.

Well, I hope it takes
your breath away.

Have a nice day, ma'am.

- I like it. And you got one, too?
- Yep, I sure did.

And you can write your prayer
requests in there, your favorite verses.

- We can journal, anything we want.
- Hey, Daddy.

- Hey, Danielle.
- Hey.

I didn't think you were
coming home till tonight.

Yeah. I finished up
everything pretty early, so...

- You got enough for me?
- Sure.

Jennifer's mom is coming to
pick Danielle up in a few minutes,

- but you and I can eat.
- All right.

- I'll take my stuff to the room.
- All right.

- Hey, how are you?
- I'm good. How are you?

You and the girls
hanging out today?

Yeah. We're gonna go to
the park for a couple hours,

and then I thought we could grab

a milkshake at
Chick-fil-A's, if that's okay?

So, what's been going on here?

Oh. Well, I sold another
house on Tuesday.

And I already told you
about getting held up, so...

Yeah, look, about that.

It's not that I didn't care.

I just got really busy,

so when I saw that
you were all right...

I understand. It's all right. I'm sorry
for getting so worked up about it.

You're sorry?

Yeah. I knew you were at
work, probably in a meeting.

I should've just waited
till later to bring it up.

My mind was just racing,
so I took it out on you.

But you know what? I really
think it was good for Danielle.

I think it helped her to
realize how important

it is to be aware of
who's around you, so...

You want hot sauce?

- Yeah, that's fine.
- You want mild or Wrath of God?

I don't want Wrath of God.
Let me have the other one.

What do you want, Liz?

- You mean, right now?
- Yeah.

Well, I would kill for

a hot fudge sundae.

Just

fudge everywhere.

And two scoops of ice
cream, Cookies and Cream.

Whipped cream. Just mounds,
mounds of whipped cream on top.

And one cherry. One cherry.

And my feet are killing me.

Man, I would love a foot rub.

Liz, I'm not rubbing your feet.

Okay.

Well, you wanna pray?

Yeah.

God, we thank you for this food.

And we thank you for
taking care of our family.

- Amen.
- Amen.

I'm starving. Let's eat.

Mmm. It's good.

And you double
checked your numbers.

Twice. Tony's
inventory is off, Rick.

We saw the same thing last week

when he left Asheville.

He may just be padding
numbers, but there's a pattern here.

You're the district manager.
You gotta call this in.

- Yeah. Thanks, Greg.
- Sorry, man. Later.

Why, Tony?

Hey, Danielle. Where's Daddy?

He left. He got a call from
his boss and had to go.

- From Rick?
- I think so.

- Did he say when he'd be back?
- No, ma'am.

Oh, I hear him.

Hey.

Tony?

First off, I don't want
any grief from you. Okay?

'Cause I'm really not in the
mood to talk about this right now.

Tony, what's going on?

I just lost my job!

Okay. So, we'll just
do what we gotta do.

What, no sarcastic comment?

Tony, I think we'll be fine.

Liz, you heard me,
right? I just got fired!

Okay? So that means no income.
No company car. No health coverage.

We can't even afford
this house anymore.

I understand.

Listen, I'll just pick up
some new properties

while you look for a
different job. Okay?

So, that's it?

You just gonna roll with it?

What else am I supposed to do?

Sometimes I don't get you, Liz.

I'll go start dinner.

Tony!

Please help me! Please!

Tony!

Tony, help me, please!

Tony!

Tony, no! No!

Danielle, have you
seen my gym bag?

No, sir.

"Lord, I pray for Tony, that you
would turn his heart back to you.

"Help me to love him, and
give him a fresh love for me.

"I surrender my
rights to you as Lord

"and ask you to bless him as he honors you
and to expose him if he walks in deceit.

"Build him up as the
man you intend him to be.

"Help me to support and respect
him. I ask for your help to love him.

"In Jesus' name I pray."

Daddy?

I found your gym bag next
to the washing machine.

Okay. You can just set
it right there, Danielle.

Hey, Danielle.

When did Mama
do this to her closet?

Hmm, a few weeks ago.

- So, the whole closet was empty?
- Yeah, except the papers on the wall.

And what did she
do with her clothes?

Mike, I don't know, man. Some
other closet. What does that matter?

Dude, I don't think you
understand how important this is.

When was the last time you heard of
a woman giving up some closet space?

All I know is, you can fight against
your wife and probably hold your own.

But if God is fighting for her,

you can hit the gym
all you want to, bro.

It's not looking good for you.

Man!

I wish my wife would
pray for me like that.

Plus, I could use
the closet space.

All right, man, you good,
yo. I'm about to bounce.

- See you later, bro.
- All right.

Excuse me.

Can you tell Danielle I'll be
back to get her after practice?

- Sure, I'll tell her.
- All right.

- Thank you.
- My pleasure.

Tony! Please help me! Please!

Jesus,

I'm not a good man.

I'm selfish.

I'm prideful.

And I'm hurting this family.

But this, this is not
who I wanted to be.

I don't like the
man I've become,

but I don't know how to fix it.

I don't know what to do.

Forgive me, please.

Forgive me, Jesus.

One, two, three, go.

Left, left, right.

Left, left, right.

Yes! Go!

One, two, three.

Left, left, right.

Hey, you know what?

I thought your jump roping routine
was gonna be something simple.

But it wasn't.
It's pretty difficult.

But you were really good,
Danielle. I mean, I was impressed.

You're really good.

Thanks.

Daddy, why are they here?

They've come to
get this car, Danielle.

Excuse me.

- Rick.
- Tony.

I'm sorry about this.

It's not your fault, Rick.

Listen, I need you to sign
that we came for the car.

And clean out any
items that belong to you.

Yep.

Already did.

You're a talented guy, Tony.

I was sorry to see this happen.

- You take care.
- Yeah.

Why are they taking Daddy's car?

We'll talk about it
later, baby, okay?

Listen, why don't you go inside

and knock out some chores
before lunch, all right? Okay.

I picked up a couple more
houses to sell this morning.

Asked Mandy to give me everything
she could for the next couple months.

That's good, Liz.

Can we talk?

Sure.

I just don't understand
why you treat me this way.

When I told you what
happened with my job,

I expected you to
hit the ceiling, Liz.

So, in my mind, I was
ready to defend myself.

Except this time, I can't.

And I hate saying this...

But I deserved to get fired.

I was deceiving them.

And I was deceiving you.

I almost cheated on you, Liz.

I thought about it.

I almost did it.

But you know all this.

And you're still here.

Then I see your closet,

and the way you praying for me.

Why would you do that

when you see the type
of man I've become?

'Cause I'm not done with us.

I will fight for our marriage.

But I've learned that my
contentment can't come from you.

Tony, I love you.

But I am His before I'm yours.

And because I love
Jesus, I'm staying right here.

I'm sorry, Liz.

I asked God to forgive me,

but I need you to forgive me.

I don't want you
to quit on me, Liz.

I will.

I forgive you.

I forgive you.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Lord.

And this just happened now?

He did?

Well, what'd he say?

Oh, sweet Jesus. Oh, Lord!

Oh. Oh!

See, I told you, Elizabeth. I told
you that God would fight for you.

Oh, Jesus! All right,
baby, I'll talk to you soon.

Oh!

Devil, you just got
your butt kicked!

My God is faithful.

And my God is powerful.

And my God is in charge.

You can't fire Him
and He'll never retire!

Thank you, Jesus.
Glory Hallelujah!

My God is good

My God is good,
and He's faithful

Hey, Danielle.

Hey, Daddy.

Listen, I need to
tell you something.

I don't think I've been
a very good dad to you.

And I haven't been very
loving to your mother either.

Um...

I can do better, Danielle.

You both deserve better from me.

But you know what?

I've asked God to help me.

And

I wanted to ask you

if you would forgive me

and give me another chance.

Think you can do that?

Listen, I do love you, Danielle.

I love you too, Daddy.

We're sorry. You have reached a
number that has been disconnected

or is no longer in service.

Slow down, I'm old. You know,
I'm old now. Okay, here we go.

Okay! I'm in there!

- Keep going!
- You got it!

Okay. I'm trying! My knees!

Here we go. Got the turn.

What's the other move,
Danielle? Okay, wait.

- Good grief!
- Daddy, why don't you jump with us?

Yeah, that would be awesome!

No, no. I don't think
they let parents do that.

Yeah, they do. But no parents
do 'cause they can't keep up.

- Oh, really?
- Dad, it's an open league.

You can jump in the freestyle
competition. They'll let you.

Look, tell you what. Let
me think about it, okay?

Okay, I'll think
about it. All right?

Now if I'm gonna do it, I wanna
do it right. So let's try it again.

Get it going. Get
it going for me.

Okay, here we go.
Here we go. Okay. Okay.

All right, here we go.
Turn. And we turn...

Tony?

Tony, what are you doing?

I'm struggling.

With what?

What is this?

It was my bonus plan.

Where did you get these?

I've been keeping some for myself
each time I take samples to a client.

I thought they had to sign
for what you gave them.

There's ways around that, Liz.

Tony, you gotta take these back.

Liz, I could be
prosecuted for this.

Look, I've already lost my job.

So, now I'm supposed to go and tell
Danielle her daddy might be going to jail?

Then why are you struggling?

What you have there is
fourth-quarter projections.

Now, if anything's
off on that, don't...

Coleman, Tony
Jordan's here to see you.

- Do you know what he wants?
- He didn't say.

Just said he wants five
minutes of your time.

Tony? Coleman's waiting
for you in the conference room.

Thank you.

Hello, Tony.

Coleman. Tom.

Look, I appreciate you
guys meeting with me.

I just need to bring you something
back that belongs to the company,

and apologize for taking it.

What's in the box?

You weren't just
padding your numbers,

you were stealing samples
and selling them. Is that right?

Let me get this straight.

We give you a high salary with
awards and benefits and trips,

and you decide to thank us by
taking even more for yourself?

Do you realize we could
have you prosecuted for this?

Tom.

Why would you bring this in now?

Because I needed to confess what
I've done and ask for your forgiveness.

Forgiveness?

I mean, how long have
you been doing this?

How much money did you make?

About $19,000.

19,000?

- Is that all? Really?
- Tom.

Tony, it doesn't make
sense that you would do this

after you've already
been terminated.

I realize that.

But I've gotten right with my
family. I've gotten right with God.

But I need to
get right with you.

So I'm ready to accept
whatever decision you make.

Including arrest?

Whatever the consequence.

Oh.

That makes it easier for us.

Coleman, it's time
to call the authorities.

Not yet.

Tony, are you willing
to sign a statement?

I am.

Then I want two
days to think about it.

- Two days?
- Yes.

You'll hear from me by then.

Thank you.

Hey, girls. Why don't you go inside
and grab something cold to drink?

Okay? We can start
back in a little bit.

- Okay. Thanks, Ms. Jordan.
- All right.

Hey. Hey.

Well?

I don't know.

I mean, Tom just
wanted to throw me in jail.

But Coleman says he wants
two days to think about it.

- Really? Did he seem angry?
- I couldn't tell.

Liz, this was the most
awkward thing I've ever done.

Yeah, but you did it.

Listen, you did the right thing.

Now we just have
to pray and wait.

Hey, why don't you go change?
Just come practice with your daughter.

Liz, why should I practice for a
competition when I might be in jail?

You don't know that.

Whatever happens,
we trust God, right?

Right.

This is crazy. You
know that, right?

But it's gonna take

Crazy faith

So what if it costs everything

I'm stepping out
I'm taking the leap

And it's gonna take

Crazy faith

So what if it costs
me everything

I'm stepping out

I'm taking the
leap of crazy faith

Crazy faith

You're nervous.

Trying not to think about it.

What time are you
supposed to be there?

9:00.

- Coleman?
- Hello, Tony.

- Hi, Elizabeth.
- Hi, Coleman. How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

I know this is unexpected, but I wondered
if you might give me a few minutes to talk.

- Yeah, sure. Come on in.
- Thank you.

Tony, I've been
thinking about your visit.

It's probably all I've thought
about the past two days.

What you did was wrong.

And I was disappointed.

But we've fired salesmen
before, and well, life goes on.

But then you showed back up.

And, Tony, I've never seen
anybody do what you did.

I've never seen a man take total
responsibility for his wrongdoing,

no matter the consequence.

And I kept asking myself, why?

Why would you do that?

The only answer I
can come up with

is that you were sincere in
your desire to make it right,

and that you regret
what you've done.

So I've chosen to believe you.

I can't give you your job back,

but I've decided
not to prosecute.

I do think it would be appropriate to
return the $19,000 back to the company.

- Yeah, we've already decided to do that.
- Very good.

Well, if you'll sign an
agreement to that effect,

I think we should all move on.

So if you don't mind me seeing myself
out, I'll give you your evening back.

- Thank you, Tony.
- Thank you.

- Elizabeth.
- Thank you.

Tony, that was grace!

That was God's grace toward us.

Thank you, Jesus.

I just love these old houses.
They have so much character.

Oh, yeah. I agree.

Well, the master bath was updated
recently, but she kept the original tub.

And all the tiles are brand new.

And, you know, I think this is best
of all, the floor is original hardwoods.

- I love hardwood floors.
- And you know what I found?

The neighborhood is so
great because it's established.

And quiet, you know? It seems mature.
How long have you guys been in ministry?

Uh, Charles pastored
the same church

- for 35 years.
- Wow.

But, you know, we loved it, but
we knew it was time for a change,

and we wanted to be near our kids
and grandkids to help mentor them.

Charles, what are you doing?

Someone's been
praying in this closet.

That's right. That was her prayer
closet. How did you know that?

It's almost like it's baked in.

Ma'am, we'll take the house.

Well, hello. Come on
in. You must be Elizabeth.

- Yes, thank you.
- Hey, there, young lady.

- You're C.W. Williams, the city manager.
- I am.

- You're Clyde?
- I'm Clyde.

- You got to be kidding me.
- Hey, Elizabeth!

- Hey, Danielle!
- Nice to meet you.

I'll let you all catch up.

You never told me that your
son was the city manager!

I didn't? My son's
the city manager.

Okay. I got some
good news for you.

I bet you gonna tell me

that a retired pastor from Texas
and his wife wanna buy my house.

Now see,

see, that's the kind of
relationship with God I want.

I want Him speaking to me
like that. What did He say?

Well, it was actually
your daughter.

She texted me on my new
smart phone on the way over here.

Don't be mad, Mom! I
hardly get to text anybody!

And this thing is so handy.

I've already downloaded
a couple prayer apps,

and got a couple gospel songs.

All right, guys.

Wanna take these popsicles
outside, eat them on the back porch?

Here we go. Two
hot cups of coffee.

Well, if it's hot,
then I'll drink it.

Now, we're still gonna get
together for our little chats, right?

Oh, yes!

- But now it can't just be the both of us.
- What do you mean?

Oh, you need to find a young
woman to invest in, and I'll do the same.

We all need help
every now and then.

Ms. Clara, I really can't tell you how
much your friendship means to me.

Oh, that goes
for the both of us.

No, really. I wasn't willing to
admit how much help I needed.

And I needed
somebody to wake me up

from the insanity of doing
the same thing over and over.

You've been a gift
from God to me.

Don't you think that
this has been one-sided.

This has meant more
to me than you know.

Well, good.

I can't imagine how much your
prayers and your passion for God

must have meant to your husband.

Gosh, I wish I could've met him.

No.

No, you don't.

See, I wasn't the
same woman back then.

When Leo died, we
were not on good terms.

I always felt pushed
to the back burner while

the military took
first place in his life.

And I was... I was bitter,
Elizabeth. I was so bitter.

But even then, God was
showing me what to do.

He was prompting me to fight for
Leo, to pray for Leo, and I refused.

And I kept pushing it back and
pushing it back until it was too late.

And there's no grief as great as
denying the truth until it's too late.

It was my selfish
pride, Elizabeth.

Oh, my selfish pride!

And I confessed it.

And I repented, and I
begged God to forgive me.

But I still have a scar.

And then I started spending
more time with the Lord,

and in His word.

And I learned how to fight

in prayer first.

I'm an old woman now.

And I realized that I have not
passed on what I had learned.

And when I last
visited Leo's grave,

I asked God to send me
someone that I could help.

Someone that I could
teach to fight the right way.

And He sent me Elizabeth Jordan.

So you see, you...

You were the
answer to my prayer.

Well, now you've got to teach
other people to seek the Lord.

You've got to teach other
young wives how to fight.

Yeah. I will.

I will.

- Mom, did you bring my snack?
- Oh, yeah, baby, I got it right here.

- Hey, Danielle, are you nervous?
- Very.

- Are you nervous?
- Oh, yeah!

But I'll be fine just as long
as I don't fall on my face.

Are you still
gonna do that flip?

Yeah, I'm gonna do
the flip. And that's not all.

Huh, Danielle?

You ain't seen nothing yet, Liz.

Now I'm nervous.

Tony, isn't that Tom?

Yeah, it is.

Looks like a flat.

No. No! No. No, I
can't wait that long!

Why do you promote helping out in
30 minutes when it takes 45 to get here?

Listen, you guys stay put.

You know, I don't care.
Just send someone!

Why did you do that?

'Cause that's how I
wanna be treated, Danielle.

Wow!

I'm so proud of you for
everything that you've done.

And I just can't wait to see
what you guys do out there.

- You wanna say something to them?
- Yeah, yeah.

Okay, good.

Listen, I just spoke
with the judges. Okay?

They've agreed to
let us go last. All right?

Yes!

Remember what we talked about?
We'll be the last thing they see.

We'll be impressive. All right?
Listen, I know you guys are nervous.

Believe me, I am, too.

But we're gonna take that nervous energy
and we're gonna turn it into rocket fuel.

- All right? You guys are with me?
- Yeah.

All right, let's blow them away.

Here we go. Comets on
three. All right, one, two, three.

Hey, what are you doing?

- Hey, hey.
- What's going on?

I'll tell you in a minute,
okay? How was dinner?

Oh, it was good.

Cynthia actually agreed to
meet with me on a regular basis.

Good. Good.

- We'll try Tuesday afternoons to start.
- Okay.

Now listen, did they, uh, forgive
me for not helping them out?

Oh, yeah. I think so.

You know, they really appreciated
the $500 we gave them though.

I told her we really wanted to do
more but we just couldn't right now

- the way things are tight with money.
- Hmm.

She understood. But
we did skip dessert.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Well, listen, I got something
I need to tell you. Okay?

Now I want you to think about
it before you respond, okay?

What is it?

I had an interview today. And I
got offered the job on the spot.

To do what?

To be the new director
at the community center.

Liz, we know this place
so well. You know?

I'm telling you,
I can do this job.

Gosh. You would
be closer to home.

It's only half the pay, but if
we're wise, I know we can make it.

Listen to me.

I would rather have a man chasing
Jesus than a house full of stuff.

Okay.

All right, then I'll accept it.

You know what, I'm kind of glad
you didn't have that dessert tonight.

Why?

I got something for you. Why
don't you have a seat on the couch?

- What?
- Just head to the couch.

I got this, don't
worry about it.

Where's Danielle?

She's fine. She's over at Jennifer's
house. They're having a sleepover. Yeah.

What is this?

You'll see.

No, no, no. Tony,
don't touch my feet.

Hey. Just roll with it. Okay?
All right, come on now.

Oh, my goodness,
it feels so good.

Now it's time I give
you what you deserve.

This is for the
woman I don't deserve.

You go ahead and work on that,

and I am gonna get started on that
foot massage you've been asking for.

Really?

- Are you really doing this for me?
- Yeah, come on now.

No, no, no, Tony! I don't
want you to smell my feet.

Babe, look. I told you,
I got this. You... Look.

You need to trust
me, okay? So, like that.

I'm ready to go. You hear me?

- You're terrible.
- Yeah.

What's wrong?

I'm eating my favorite dessert

while my husband
is rubbing my feet.

There has got to
be a God in Heaven!

You've done it again, Lord.

You've done it again.

You are good and You are
mighty and You are merciful!

And You keep taking care
of me when I don't deserve it.

Praise You, Jesus!

You are Lord.

Give me another one, Lord.

Guide me to who
You want me to help.

Raise up more that will
call upon Your name!

Raise up those that love You
and seek You and trust You!

Raise them up,
Lord! Raise them up!

Lord, we need a generation of believers
who are not ashamed of the gospel.

We need an army
of believers, Lord,

that hate to be lukewarm

and will stand on Your
word above all else.

Raise them up,
Lord. Raise them up.

I pray for unity among
those that love You.

I pray that You open their eyes so
that they can see Your truth, Lord.

I pray for Your hand of
protection and guidance!

Raise up a generation, Lord,
that will take light into this world.

That will not compromise
when under pressure!

That will not cower, Lord,
when others fall away!

Raise them up, Lord,
that they will proclaim

that there is salvation in
the name of Jesus Christ!

Raise up warriors, Lord,
who will fight on their knees,

who will worship You with
their whole hearts, Lord.

Lord, call us to battle,

that we may proclaim You
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

I pray these things
with all my heart!

Raise them up,
Lord! Raise them up!

I see the smoke on the horizon

I feel my heart
pounding in my chest

I hear the war
raging all around me

But somehow I feel
like I was born for this

I can taste or feel
the ageless courage

As I raise my shield
and lift my sword

And I fall on my knees
and I fight like a warrior

I am a warrior on my knees

I call on the Name of the
One Who is Conqueror

I'm only a conqueror
when I believe

The enemy trembles every time

Because he knows the
battle is no longer mine

When I fall on my knees
and I fight like a warrior

Like a warrior, oh

Daughters and sons
we can hear your calling

Broken and weak,
we can hear your cry

And even though our
enemy roars like a lion

The Lion of Judah is on our side

And He will go before
us and behind us

Fighting on the
left and on the right

So I fall on my knees
and I fight like a warrior

I am a warrior on my knees

When I call on the Name of
the One Who is Conqueror

I'm more than a
conqueror when I believe

The enemy trembles every time

Because he knows the
battle is no longer mine

But I fall on my knees
and I fight like a warrior

Like a warrior

Like a warrior

Our weapons are trust
Our weapons are hope

In the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords

He says, "I am with
you so don't be afraid

"Because I have
already won this war

"So fall on your
knees and fight with Me

We are the warriors
when we are on our knees

The enemy trembles

We will fall on our knees
and fight like a warrior

We are the warriors on our knees

We call on the Name of
the One Who is Conqueror

We're more than
conquerors when we believe

The enemy trembles every time

Because he knows the
battle isn't yours or mine

When we fall on our
knees and fight like a warrior

Like a warrior

We are warriors on our knees

We are the warriors

We are warriors

We are warriors on our knees

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the Name of Jesus

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the...

We will fall on our knees
and fight like a warrior

We are the warriors on our knees

We call on the Name of
the One Who is Conqueror

We're more than
conquerors when we believe

The enemy trembles every time

Because he knows the
battle isn't yours or mine

When we fall on our
knees and fight like a warrior

Like a warrior

We are warriors on our knees

We are the warriors

We are warriors

We are warriors on our knees

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the Name of Jesus

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the Name of Jesus

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the Name of Jesus

Calling on the Name of Jesus

Power in the Name of Jesus
