it's not a glamour call,
but helping these people
face their loss
is godly work.
- Bishop
Aimee: You brought me to a church
full of old cranks.
Michael: I think they prefer
"senior cracks."
She looked at me
like I was from Mars.
Or worse, New York.
- Aimee
Atticus: What do you think
will happen to them
when we leave?
Michael: The Karen?
Well, I'll tell you what,
let's keep 'em
in our prayers
and ask for God's help.
Atticus: Aren't you God's help?
Michael: Thank you, Forrest.
Hey, what's your deal?
Why won't you
let me thank you?
Forrest: Save it.
Aimee: God spoke to you? The God?
Michael: Yeah. There's just The One, Aim's.
Aimee: Well, what did He say?
Michael: He said, "I've given you land.
I've given you farmers." Do the math.
Aimee: God said, "do the math?".
Bishop: This is what you do, isn't it?
Go your own way.
The lone preacher.
Michael: I only know what I'm led to do.
Bishop: Do you think
you're the first preacher
to cry for the poor
for a dying church?
Michael: It's a question
of faith for me.
Bishop: Faith in who? Yourself?
You swore an oath
as a minister to God,
not to me,
to obey even when you disagree.
- Bishop
God's wisdom is vast, Michael.
We don't always know
what he's asking.
- Bishop
Michael.. that voice you hear.
Be sure it's God's voice,
not your own.
- Bishop
When you need help,
and you will, you have
to ask for it.
- Aimee
Michael, good things happen
when we let go a little.
Didn't we just learn that?
- Aimee
Michael: Fantastic.
The Bishop send you?
Gerrard: No, I'm a Buddhist.
And my pals here are..
Nothing, apparently.
Hope that's all right.
Michael: Well, some of my best
friends are nothing.
I thought I knew
the will of God.
Then came the flood.
What was I to think?
Why, if God asked us
to plant these crops,
would He allow them
to be destroyed?
Now, I don't know
the mind of God, and
that's the truth.
Was it His voice I heard,
or was it mine?
That's something to question,
something to pray over,
at least for me.
- Michael
