237

The theory is our reality
collided with a parallel reality.

and Curious George has no tail.

how ridiculous you sound?

Okay, but God had himself a human son who
could walk on water and multiply fish,
243

and that's not ridiculous?

So, yeah, given the choice,
I'm taking the Kit Kat theory.

we'll collide with a reality

00:20:49,962 --> 00:20:52,959
MAN: This is why a church does
not belong on a state campus.
344
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:57,026
Favoring one religion over another?
Of course people are angry.
345
00:20:57,028 --> 00:20:59,492
It just invites violence
like this.
346
00:20:59,494 --> 00:21:02,360
What else is it gonna take
for people to wake up?
347
00:21:05,028 --> 00:21:08,558
The church has brought nothing but
controversy to the school for years.
348
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,026
- It's time.
- Our enrollment is down 18 percent.
349
00:21:12,028 --> 00:21:15,025
We stand to lose
$15 million this year alone.
350
00:21:15,027 --> 00:21:19,292
I'm well aware of that, but we can't
pin all of this on Saint James.
351
00:21:19,294 --> 00:21:24,357
Well, this university is in the midst of an
identity crisis, Tom, because of Saint James.
352
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,891
- We're moving backwards.
- This is wrong.
353
00:21:26,893 --> 00:21:29,357
The church
is a historic landmark.
354
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,758
It was here
before the university.
355
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,025
Dave...
is a good man.
356
00:21:36,027 --> 00:21:39,291
What about Jude,
the one who died?
357
00:21:39,293 --> 00:21:41,491
I'm sure he was
a good man too.
358
00:21:41,493 --> 00:21:44,657
Barbara,
with all due respect,
359
00:21:44,659 --> 00:21:48,356
if we kick the church off campus
now after what just happened,
360
00:21:48,358 --> 00:21:49,758
how do you think
that's gonna look?
361
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,624
We're gonna look bad
no matter what we do.
362
00:21:52,626 --> 00:21:56,359
But in the long run, this is
what's best for the students.
363
00:21:57,759 --> 00:21:59,358
Okay.
364
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:04,625
Tom, I think you should be the
one to talk to Reverend Dave.
365
00:22:05,892 --> 00:22:07,790
Dave is my friend.
366
00:22:07,792 --> 00:22:10,357

in this difficult hour,
376
00:23:12,824 --> 00:23:17,821
the same one that Peter, John, and
James spoke on that one dark night
377
00:23:17,823 --> 00:23:21,656
when all their hopes died
on that bloodstained cross.

construction plans, repairs, all that.

Yeah.
Well... when you're ready.

Okay? Don't rush.
Just come on by my office.

I think that's what
Jude said to me.

Last thing he said to me.
What does that mean?

It's hard
to translate.
405
00:25:08,418 --> 00:25:12,017
In English,
it means, basically,
406
00:25:12,019 --> 00:25:15,950
"Always God is good,
407

Well, it's Saturday,

I'm so sorry.

I'll be okay.

Sure.

Tom, this is insane.
428
00:27:05,049 --> 00:27:09,379
You're gonna use this as an opportunity
to advance some political agenda?
429
00:27:09,381 --> 00:27:11,013
It's not about that.
430

You don't just knock a church down
because of a little controversy.

Look, the insurance
will cover the damage.

It won't cost
the university anything.
433
00:27:18,648 --> 00:27:22,345
It's not about the money either.
It's really not.
434
00:27:22,347 --> 00:27:25,812
This makes no sense.
We were attacked.
435

I know.
436
00:27:27,881 --> 00:27:32,478
But, Dave, we're worried about the
school, the welfare of the students.

You have every right to be.
I don't like this either.

I hope you get that.

you're hearing me, Dave.
450
00:28:14,779 --> 00:28:16,746
The board has decided.
451
00:28:17,946 --> 00:28:20,479
It's a done deal.
452
00:28:22,612 --> 00:28:24,245
I'm sorry.
453
00:28:25,745 --> 00:28:28,543
This is absurd. They can just
take the church from us?
454
00:28:28,545 --> 00:28:30,342
- I mean, don't we own this land?
- Yes.
455
00:28:30,344 --> 00:28:32,644
- So, how is this legal?
- Eminent domain.
456
00:28:32,646 --> 00:28:35,477
I studied property law
a bit in grad school.
457
00:28:35,479 --> 00:28:37,943
As I understand it, the state
gave all public universities
458
00:28:37,945 --> 00:28:40,609
complete autonomy
over eminent domain.
459
00:28:40,611 --> 00:28:42,876
Which means Hadleigh can
legally force us to sell.

Where are we
supposed to go?

build anything anyway? Can we go to court?

her right where she's at.

back, or I call the cops.
685

- I already called 'em.
- Hey, buddy, I have a demo permit.
686
00:44:02,313 --> 00:44:04,711
- You got a permit to wreck a church on a Sunday? Really?
- Yeah, what can I say?

- You have a Bible?
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, Gloria Pascual.
I know. I'm already on my way.

- Yeah.

So the, uh... the Bible
is the word of God.
705
00:45:00,577 --> 00:45:03,609
But how often do we really
take time to read it?
706
00:45:03,611 --> 00:45:05,477

It's an old-fashioned
end-around. Hold on.

You still there? You still
gotta send me the injunction.

Your Honor,
I am so sorry,
723
00:46:20,475 --> 00:46:23,739
but I'm an attorney, and it's
important that I speak with you.
724
00:46:23,741 --> 00:46:26,572
I'm in the middle
of Mass.
725
00:46:26,574 --> 00:46:30,774
I'm aware. It's very timely.
It involves a church.
726
00:46:30,776 --> 00:46:34,573
And we want to take you live
to the scene right now,
727
00:46:34,575 --> 00:46:36,472
show you what is
developing as we speak.
728
00:46:36,474 --> 00:46:38,305
You are looking here
at Saint James Church.

This is on the campus
of Hadleigh University now.
730
00:46:40,708 --> 00:46:43,706
Local pastor, David Hill,
is basically staging
731
00:46:43,708 --> 00:46:48,773
his very own version of what can only be
described here as a Senate filibuster.
732
00:46:48,775 --> 00:46:51,839
His last-ditch effort to delay
the demolition of his church.
733
00:46:51,841 --> 00:46:56,372
As you can see here, he's literally
reading the Bible cover to cover

watch and wait.

Yeah, that's him.

Your little stunt's gonna cost you
and the pastor a night in jail.

Well, I don't think so.
738
00:47:04,908 --> 00:47:08,872
I have a signed injunction from
Judge Pascual that says...
739
00:47:08,874 --> 00:47:12,573

Thank you.
746
00:47:33,573 --> 00:47:36,370
So, maybe the university's board
of trustees does have the right
747
00:47:36,372 --> 00:47:38,004
to expropriate
the church property.
748
00:47:38,006 --> 00:47:40,303
But even if it's legal,
is it moral?
749
00:47:40,305 --> 00:47:41,737
Just take a look
at their dilemma here.
750
00:47:41,739 --> 00:47:43,836
This is no longer
a Christian school.
751
00:47:43,838 --> 00:47:46,504
The church really should have
moved off campus 50 years ago
752
00:47:46,506 --> 00:47:48,436
when the state
bought the university.
753
00:47:48,438 --> 00:47:51,236
Instead, funding
is given disproportionately
754
00:47:51,238 --> 00:47:53,302
to one religious organization
755
00:47:53,304 --> 00:47:54,771
while other ones
are being denied.
756
00:47:54,773 --> 00:47:58,569
So you add that to all of this
controversy and now violence.
757
00:47:58,571 --> 00:48:02,870
You tell me, how can they justify
keeping the church on campus?
758
00:48:02,872 --> 00:48:05,703
Thomas Ellsworth is making
the right choice here.
759
00:48:05,705 --> 00:48:08,571
It's not the easy one,
but it is the right choice.
760
00:48:09,705 --> 00:48:11,736
I think their intentions
are pretty clear.
761
00:48:11,738 --> 00:48:13,569
Enough with writing letters.
Let's call 'em out.
762
00:48:13,571 --> 00:48:15,636
Call 'em out
on what, stupidity?
763
00:48:15,638 --> 00:48:18,703
Why are you so reluctant to
accept what's really going on?
764
00:48:18,705 --> 00:48:21,869
Unbelievable. You guys love to
play the victim card, don't you?
765
00:48:21,871 --> 00:48:23,302
- "You guys."
- Look, forget it.
766
00:48:23,304 --> 00:48:25,836
I'm not engaging in a
false narrative with you.
767
00:48:25,838 --> 00:48:28,903
I'm just... I'm not. It undermines
true religious liberty.
768
00:48:28,905 --> 00:48:32,569
You're talking to a guy who went to jail,
who's now having his church stolen.
769
00:48:32,571 --> 00:48:35,702
- How is that false narrative?
- Because it's never that simple.
770
00:48:35,704 --> 00:48:38,835
The Christian church has a long
history of persecuting people,
771
00:48:38,837 --> 00:48:42,834
and then those people push back,
and you guys want to cry victim.
772
00:48:42,836 --> 00:48:46,835
And for every example of someone who's
misrepresented Jesus for some twisted reason,
773
00:48:46,837 --> 00:48:49,567
there are a hundred others
who have done good in his name.
774
00:48:49,569 --> 00:48:53,435
We can debate history all you
want, but I'm talking about now,
775
00:48:53,437 --> 00:48:55,368
about getting my church back.
776
00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:58,601
- Can you just help me do that?
- I'm right here, aren't I?

into your personal crusade.

I'm okay. So, how's stuff
going with the church?
786
00:49:29,568 --> 00:49:31,833
Have they found
the person who did it?
787
00:49:31,835 --> 00:49:34,433
Not yet. They're still
investigating.
788
00:49:34,435 --> 00:49:37,299

fingerprints or whatever.

they'll catch 'em.

this strong faith.

But he was so cool
about it.

around before our parents died.

00:53:10,962 --> 00:53:12,826
Unfortunately,
despite my counsel,
850
00:53:12,828 --> 00:53:15,493
my client is not
interested in money.
851
00:53:15,495 --> 00:53:17,959
- So, what is your client interested in?
- I want my church back.
852
00:53:17,961 --> 00:53:19,825
Dave, be reasonable.
853
00:53:19,827 --> 00:53:21,425
Reason went out
the window, Tom,
854
00:53:21,427 --> 00:53:23,425
when you brought a demolition
crew to my front door.
855
00:53:23,427 --> 00:53:26,692
WOMAN: Look, a college campus is
about education, not religion.
856
00:53:26,694 --> 00:53:29,557
We've got limited space. We need
to maximize it for every student.
857
00:53:29,559 --> 00:53:31,558
None of that gives you the
right to tear my church down.
858
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,324
- Well, actually it does.
- Dana, stop.
859
00:53:34,326 --> 00:53:38,725
We're wasting our time here. We both know
that this meeting was simply a courtesy.
860
00:53:38,727 --> 00:53:42,491
And, Barbara, we appreciate it.
It's very courteous.
861
00:53:42,493 --> 00:53:45,457
I get it.
It's a prime piece of land.
862
00:53:45,459 --> 00:53:47,825
You know what I'd do
if it were me?
863
00:53:47,827 --> 00:53:51,357
I'd put in a big student center
with a fancy coffee shop.
864
00:53:51,359 --> 00:53:52,558
The kids would love it.
865
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,224
I mean, to me, that's more
valuable than a dusty old church.
866
00:53:55,226 --> 00:53:56,557
No offense.
867
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:58,324
But he knows
how I feel about it.
868
00:53:58,326 --> 00:54:00,557
Here's the problem.
869
00:54:00,559 --> 00:54:03,823
What you're doing,
it's against the law.
870
00:54:03,825 --> 00:54:06,324
'Cause eminent domain
doesn't automatically apply
871
00:54:06,326 --> 00:54:09,724
just because you guys
don't like his church.
872
00:54:09,726 --> 00:54:12,557
So, here's my counter.
873
00:54:12,559 --> 00:54:17,426
Withdraw your claim or we sue. See
what a judge has to say about it.
874
00:54:18,458 --> 00:54:19,592
We're done.
875
00:54:23,692 --> 00:54:25,458
This case will never
make it to court.
876
00:54:38,458 --> 00:54:40,556
They didn't look worried,
Pearce.
877
00:54:40,558 --> 00:54:42,822
Oh, they are. That's their
job, to not look worried.
878
00:54:42,824 --> 00:54:45,756
Listen, we gotta change the
conversation in the media.
879
00:54:45,758 --> 00:54:48,690
Okay, we gotta put a
face to the opposition.
880
00:54:48,692 --> 00:54:50,590
- Tom?
- Yeah, Tom.
881
00:54:50,592 --> 00:54:53,956
He's the most visible. He's got the
most to lose. You okay with that?
882
00:54:53,958 --> 00:54:58,822
I'll just tell the truth. People
need to know what he's doing.
883
00:54:58,824 --> 00:55:00,591
Good boy. Let's go.
884
00:55:02,557 --> 00:55:06,421
But Saint James built
Hadleigh University years ago.
885
00:55:06,423 --> 00:55:08,689
Exactly. So you see how
far this has gone.
886
00:55:08,691 --> 00:55:11,421
And now with
the school board's actions,
887
00:55:11,423 --> 00:55:14,721
we've been given no choice
but to seek a legal solution.
888
00:55:14,723 --> 00:55:17,688
All of these college administrators,
they go on and on and on
889
00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:20,721
about diversity and
tolerance and inclusion,
890
00:55:20,723 --> 00:55:23,821
but yet when it's asked of them,
they run you off of campus.
891
00:55:23,823 --> 00:55:26,421
That doesn't sound very tolerant
or inclusive to me.
892
00:55:26,423 --> 00:55:28,354
Tom Ellsworth
is trying to strip away
893
00:55:28,356 --> 00:55:30,354
the foundational element
of this university
894
00:55:30,356 --> 00:55:33,286
because he believes that
it is no longer convenient.
895
00:55:33,288 --> 00:55:35,588
But truth
isn't about convenience.
896
00:55:35,590 --> 00:55:39,354
And faith in God may not be as
popular on campus as it once was,
897
00:55:39,356 --> 00:55:44,687
but people still have a right, a fundamental
human right, to express their beliefs,
898
00:55:44,689 --> 00:55:47,620
even in a public square
at a state university.
899
00:55:47,622 --> 00:55:51,286
If you agree, we're asking that
you make your voices heard.
900

Send an e-mail. Make a call.
901
00:55:54,288 --> 00:55:56,553
Let Tom Ellsworth
and the university board know
902
00:55:56,555 --> 00:55:59,953
that you believe the church
still has value.
903

And we'll see how people respond.

PEARCE: Dude, almost three million views!
People are mad. This is good.
905
00:56:08,554 --> 00:56:10,953
Does this buy us
the leverage we need?
906
00:56:10,955 --> 00:56:13,719
Well, we'll find out
at the prelim.
907
00:56:13,721 --> 00:56:18,554
Need the judge to let us argue
the case, but... this all helps.
908
00:56:20,588 --> 00:56:23,421
- Nice work.
- Thanks.
909
00:56:25,421 --> 00:56:28,285
DAVE: I think it's time for me
to get back preaching again.
910
00:56:28,287 --> 00:56:30,853
I'm afraid I'm getting so caught
up in all this, I just...
911
00:56:30,855 --> 00:56:33,419
I don't want to lose sight
of my work, you know.
912
00:56:33,421 --> 00:56:36,686
Well, let me know when and where.
I'll be there for sure.
913

if they get the diamond?

- Hi, Meg.
- Let me call you back.

Ooh, what's
the deal there?
923
00:56:58,854 --> 00:57:00,984
There's no deal.
She's a friend of mine.

- Nothing.

- Go for it.
- All right, fine.

Church is the answer
to those problems, huh?

grapple with those difficult questions.

caught up in the vertical

forget each other.

Yeah, but it's at the intersection
where Jesus comes in.

That nexus, and that's where Paul's words in
Galatians are so powerful and compelling.

are fellow citizens.

that we have to think about.

forget that Christ's forgiveness

came about via the conduit
of the sacrifice.

it or not, to do the same.

again, she'd be an adulterer.

of children mattered

with honor and dignity

a mug shot?

01:12:14,788 --> 01:12:16,920
Yes. Stand there.

NEWSCASTER:
After a shocking confrontation
1183
01:12:18,655 --> 01:12:21,319
by Reverend David Hill
on Hadleigh campus,
1184
01:12:21,321 --> 01:12:26,652
the suspect has been identified as 21-year-old
Hadleigh student Adam Richertson.
1185
01:12:26,654 --> 01:12:30,920
The college senior has no criminal
record and no history of violence,
1186
01:12:30,922 --> 01:12:36,254
which has left many people wondering what
inspired his deadly attack on a church.

1188
01:12:40,587 --> 01:12:42,253
I'm so sorry.
1189
01:12:46,387 --> 01:12:48,585
TEO:
This is beyond messed up.
1190
01:12:48,587 --> 01:12:52,819
I know Adam. He's a
good dude, sincerely.
1191
01:12:52,821 --> 01:12:56,518
And Pastor Dave needs to take
a page from his own book.
1192
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,951
So, you know what? We're
having a protest Friday night.
1193
01:12:59,953 --> 01:13:03,517
Saint James. Make sure
your voice is heard.
1194
01:13:03,519 --> 01:13:07,553
Be there. Be mad. 'Cause
this fight is far from over.
1195
01:13:11,286 --> 01:13:12,554
Have you seen this?
1196
01:13:15,252 --> 01:13:16,918
Media works both ways.
1197
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:18,918
This gives us
a real shot.
1198
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:23,653
Get the team working on it. I'm gonna
send a gift basket to Reverend Dave.
1199
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,384
We condemn the hateful
actions of Adam Richertson
1200
01:13:33,386 --> 01:13:36,451
in the strongest possible terms.
1201
01:13:36,453 --> 01:13:40,650
They do not represent the values of
our esteemed Hadleigh University.
1202
01:13:40,652 --> 01:13:44,316
We will not stand for
violence or discrimination
1203
01:13:44,318 --> 01:13:47,383
in any form, of any people,
1204
01:13:47,385 --> 01:13:51,516
regardless of their religious
backgrounds and beliefs.
1205
01:13:51,518 --> 01:13:54,650
We've taken the immediate steps
to expel Mr. Richertson,
1206
01:13:54,652 --> 01:13:58,183
and we have encouraged
the state to prosecute him
1207
01:13:58,185 --> 01:14:01,782
to the fullest extent
of the law.
1208
01:14:01,784 --> 01:14:04,917
None of this, however,
should excuse
1209
01:14:04,919 --> 01:14:07,582
the actions
of Reverend Dave Hill.
1210
01:14:07,584 --> 01:14:11,949
His outburst has made
our position stronger...
1211
01:14:11,951 --> 01:14:17,682
that Saint James Church has become a
beacon of violence and controversy,
1212
01:14:17,684 --> 01:14:23,649
and it has no place here
on Hadleigh University campus.
1213
01:14:23,651 --> 01:14:24,782
Good day.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
1215
01:14:31,416 --> 01:14:34,582
So, Reverend Hill goes after Ellsworth.
Now Ellsworth fires back.
1216
01:14:34,584 --> 01:14:37,548
And meanwhile, this kid Adam Richertson
is caught in the cross fire.
1217
01:14:37,550 --> 01:14:39,581
Judge, this kid
killed somebody.
1218
01:14:39,583 --> 01:14:41,514
Oh, come on. It was an accident.
Everybody knows that.
1219
01:14:41,516 --> 01:14:42,916
The judge and jury's
gonna decide that.
1220
01:14:42,918 --> 01:14:44,015
Speaking of judge and jury,
1221
01:14:44,017 --> 01:14:45,181
who's gonna hold
this reverend accountable?
1222
01:14:45,183 --> 01:14:49,247
Okay, there's a big difference
between a death and a fight.
1223
01:14:49,249 --> 01:14:50,915
This reverend
did attack this kid,
1224
01:14:50,917 --> 01:14:53,246
and now he's calling for the kid
to get put away for 30 years?
1225
01:14:53,248 --> 01:14:54,648
That's insane.
1226
01:14:54,650 --> 01:14:57,247
And there you have it.
Both sides are totally fired up.
1227
01:14:57,249 --> 01:14:59,247
Huge protest is planned
for the weekend.
1228
01:14:59,249 --> 01:15:01,513
And this is teed up
for disaster.

That's the sign of the times,
isn't it?
1230
01:15:03,382 --> 01:15:06,115
Everybody's yelling.
Nobody's listening.
1231
01:15:07,515 --> 01:15:09,683
KEATON: It doesn't make sense.
Nothing makes sense.
1232
01:15:11,248 --> 01:15:14,314
Adam never meant
to hurt anyone.
1233
01:15:14,316 --> 01:15:17,513
I'm not saying he shouldn't
own up to what he did,
1234
01:15:17,515 --> 01:15:19,914
but I just don't see
God's mercy here.
1235
01:15:19,916 --> 01:15:21,547
Especially
not from Pastor Dave.
1236
01:15:21,549 --> 01:15:23,380
He's human, Keaton.
1237
01:15:23,382 --> 01:15:25,380
Yeah, but he's supposed
to be a man of God.
1238
01:15:25,382 --> 01:15:27,280
What kind of example
is that?
1239
01:15:27,282 --> 01:15:30,513
I mean, if being a Christian
doesn't affect the way we act,
1240
01:15:30,515 --> 01:15:35,913
then... how do we actually know
that our values and beliefs
1241
01:15:35,915 --> 01:15:38,548
are any more valid
than anyone else's?

Can I show you something?
1244
01:15:47,648 --> 01:15:50,380
A friend said this to me
when I was in high school.
1245
01:15:56,381 --> 01:15:58,245
(CHUCKLES)
1246
01:15:58,247 --> 01:15:59,912
It was inspiring.
1247
01:15:59,914 --> 01:16:03,247
It's why I came to Hadleigh. I
wanted to be a part of something.
1248
01:16:04,647 --> 01:16:08,648
At the time, I'd never even
considered that God could be dead.
1249
01:16:11,914 --> 01:16:14,146
But now...
1250
01:16:17,780 --> 01:16:22,311
It's okay, Keaton. It's good
to ask difficult questions.
1251
01:16:22,313 --> 01:16:26,644
God can use it. He's not
afraid of your uncertainty.
1252
01:16:26,646 --> 01:16:28,245
But I am.
1253
01:16:29,914 --> 01:16:32,778
You know, I think about
John the Baptist.
1254
01:16:32,780 --> 01:16:35,644
If anyone should've been sure
about Jesus, it was him.
1255
01:16:35,646 --> 01:16:38,244
And John said, "I've
seen, and I testify
1256
01:16:38,246 --> 01:16:40,644
that this is
the Son of God."
1257
01:16:40,646 --> 01:16:45,243
And then he got locked up
in Herod's little jail cell,
1258
01:16:45,245 --> 01:16:46,911
and the doubts started
messing with his head.
1259
01:16:46,913 --> 01:16:48,143
"What if I'm wrong
about this Jesus guy?
1260
01:16:48,145 --> 01:16:50,777
What if all the stories I've heard
about him healing people...
1261
01:16:50,779 --> 01:16:52,777
What if
it's just ridiculous?"
1262
01:16:52,779 --> 01:16:56,910
So John sent some of his friends
to watch Jesus and report back.
1263
01:16:56,912 --> 01:17:01,445
And Jesus told them, "Tell John
what you've seen and heard.
1264
01:17:02,645 --> 01:17:05,643
The blind receive their sight.
The lame walk.
1265
01:17:05,645 --> 01:17:09,111
The lepers are cleansed.
The deaf hear."
1266
01:17:10,178 --> 01:17:11,676
John needed to doubt.
1267
01:17:11,678 --> 01:17:13,376
Why, though?
1268
01:17:13,378 --> 01:17:17,244
Because uncertainty led
to the pursuit of truth.
1269
01:17:20,844 --> 01:17:25,144
I know it hurts...
to be in the fire.
1270
01:17:27,243 --> 01:17:31,410
And as painful and confusing
as all of this is...
1271
01:17:32,777 --> 01:17:35,677
it just might be exactly
where God wants you right now.

have to wait and see.

so that helps.

is that Christians stop
rolling over all the time.

because of his... his love.

His patience and kindness.

without losing himself
in the bargain.
1315
01:20:33,538 --> 01:20:38,502
He was gentle with the meek and
hard as a rock with the arrogant.
1316
01:20:38,504 --> 01:20:40,636
And when he talked
to the foolish,
1317
01:20:40,638 --> 01:20:43,502
he was patient
1318
01:20:43,504 --> 01:20:46,371

a fool himself.

You.

other people in our lives to...
1351

to bring us comfort, to...
remind us that we're loved.

to be reminded right now.

You forgave me? For what exactly?
For leaving?

All you.

things to happen to good people?"

God exists?" Really?

Just back off,

Maybe you were just
trying to impress a coed

with how worldly and
forward thinking you were.
1383

I don't know!

And I don't know why
you left me

to take care of Mom and
Dad when they were sick!
1388
01:25:08,929 --> 01:25:12,627
Why did you leave me to take care
of everything after they were gone?

Do you have any idea what
you did to Mom and Dad?

Did you ever even stop to ask

be loving and accepting.

You want to know why our
generation's leaving the church?
1413
01:28:56,754 --> 01:28:59,485
It's because the whole world
knows what the church is against

but it's getting harder and
harder to know what it's for.

01:37:33,870 --> 01:37:35,603
But the spark becomes a flame.
1512
01:37:37,336 --> 01:37:40,200
And if that flame spreads,
1513
01:37:40,202 --> 01:37:44,236
the power can be so overwhelming it
transforms everything around it.
1514
01:37:55,602 --> 01:37:57,733
TV HOST: The divisive
pastor at the center
1515
01:37:57,735 --> 01:37:59,867
of weeks
of vehement protest
1516
01:37:59,869 --> 01:38:05,133
has suddenly become a symbol of
forgiveness and unity in Hope Springs.
1517
01:38:05,135 --> 01:38:07,466
And what was once
a city divided
1518
01:38:07,468 --> 01:38:10,867
is now a community
coming together to heal.
1519
01:38:10,869 --> 01:38:14,667
You can't be taken seriously as a leader
if you roll over for your enemies.
1520
01:38:14,669 --> 01:38:16,899
No, I don't think that
Reverend Hill rolled over.
1521
01:38:16,901 --> 01:38:20,899
I think that he saw people suffering
and he made a sacrifice for them.
1522
01:38:20,901 --> 01:38:24,198
Surely, the parallels to
Christianity are not lost on you.
1523
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,667
So, I mean, call it a
publicity stunt if you want,
1524
01:38:27,669 --> 01:38:29,232
but we were there.
1525
01:38:29,234 --> 01:38:30,599
I mean, this dude's legit.
1526
01:38:30,601 --> 01:38:32,366
He would have won.
1527
01:38:32,368 --> 01:38:35,499
He could have given Hadleigh the
finger, but he handed it back.
1528
01:38:35,501 --> 01:38:38,465
He cares more about this community
than winning. I believe that.
1529
01:38:38,467 --> 01:38:42,631
Perhaps the rest of the country
can take a page from this book.
1530
01:38:42,633 --> 01:38:45,500
- WOMAN: Your two o'clock is here.
- Send her in, Charlotte.
1531
01:38:46,801 --> 01:38:48,464
Hey. Let me guess.
1532
01:38:48,466 --> 01:38:50,732
You're probably on
another phone interview.
1533
01:38:50,734 --> 01:38:53,197
Listen, if you're going to do
the media circuit thing,
1534
01:38:53,199 --> 01:38:55,332
why don't you get
a big-boy haircut,
1535
01:38:55,334 --> 01:38:57,400
get Meg to take you
clothes shopping.
1536
01:38:58,633 --> 01:39:01,464
Um, give me a call when you
get your head above water.
1537
01:39:01,466 --> 01:39:05,333
I want to hear about the
plans for the new digs.
1538
01:39:07,733 --> 01:39:09,465
I'm proud of you,
little brother.
1539
01:39:10,867 --> 01:39:12,400
Take care, David.
1540
01:39:29,766 --> 01:39:32,198
- Hi.
- Hey.
1541
01:39:40,865 --> 01:39:42,598
(ALL CHEERING)
1542
01:39:47,599 --> 01:39:49,730
Congratulations.
1543
01:39:49,732 --> 01:39:51,229
I think you're
gonna love it here.
1544
01:39:51,231 --> 01:39:52,599
Thank you.
Thank you.
1545
01:39:53,731 --> 01:39:55,064
Good stuff.
1546
01:39:57,231 --> 01:39:58,896
You know what I was thinking?
1547
01:39:58,898 --> 01:40:00,596
What's that?
1548
01:40:00,598 --> 01:40:02,197
Jude was right.
1549
01:40:03,331 --> 01:40:04,531
God is good.
1550
01:40:06,197 --> 01:40:07,497
All the time.
1551
01:40:09,131 --> 01:40:10,498
And all the time...
1552
01:40:12,364 --> 01:40:13,598
God is good.
1553
01:40:17,864 --> 01:40:20,064
KEATON: (NARRATING)
I can hear you again.
1554
01:40:21,197 --> 01:40:24,597
And even though I know
you were never really gone...
1555
01:40:28,130 --> 01:40:30,063
it's good to have you back.

01:44:16,722 --> 01:44:20,120
The healing that happened here
can happen anywhere.
1622
01:44:20,122 --> 01:44:22,453
I'm Michael Tait
of the Newsboys.
1623
01:44:22,455 --> 01:44:24,587
The cure to
what plagues our world
1624
01:44:24,589 --> 01:44:27,452
isn't more division
or finger-pointing.
1625
01:44:27,454 --> 01:44:31,854
It's hope and unity and letting
Christ's love shine through us.
1626
01:44:31,856 --> 01:44:34,185
The beauty
of the human race
1627
01:44:34,187 --> 01:44:37,520
is found in the diversity
of the human race.
1628
01:44:37,522 --> 01:44:39,486
Let's celebrate this.
1629
01:44:39,488 --> 01:44:41,853
Since the very first
God's Not Dead movie,
1630
01:44:41,855 --> 01:44:44,352
we set out to inspire
a movement to show
1631
01:44:44,354 --> 01:44:47,886
God is alive
and still working today.
1632
01:44:47,888 --> 01:44:51,387
It's not easy to see in a world
of division and anger and pain,
1633
01:44:51,389 --> 01:44:54,853
but God remains good
all the time.
1634
01:44:54,855 --> 01:44:57,319
We just need to
show it through our words,
1635
01:44:57,321 --> 01:44:59,852
our actions, and our love.
1636
01:44:59,854 --> 01:45:03,585
It's our chance to be
a light in darkness.
1637
01:45:03,587 --> 01:45:05,119
So let's start right now.
1638
01:45:05,121 --> 01:45:06,485
As you leave the theaters,
1639
01:45:06,487 --> 01:45:09,451
share a message
of integrity and unity
1640
01:45:09,453 --> 01:45:12,718
with your family and friends
on social media
1641
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:15,385
with the #GodsNotDead
1642
01:45:15,387 --> 01:45:18,119
and by downloading
the "God's Not Dead" app.
1643
01:45:18,121 --> 01:45:20,652
Together, we can create
a wave of hope
1644
01:45:20,654 --> 01:45:22,652
and inspiration online.
1645
01:45:22,654 --> 01:45:26,218
Our world desperately
needs to see the light.
1646
01:45:26,220 --> 01:45:28,484
Let's share it.
Let's be it.
1647
01:45:28,486 --> 01:45:30,053
God bless you.
