let alone a city girl

poking around, asking questions.

How you doing?

How can we help you?

Well, I was wondering...

Mm-hmm?

I was wondering

if I could join your church.

And what about your gentleman friend?

He wanna join too?

Oh, uh, that's my daddy.

Oh, well, your daddy

don't seem too interested.

He has problems with his nerves.

Socially.

Hmm.

We're not so easy to find.

I know.

But, uh, people talk, you know.

No, I don't.

Excuse me.

Wait.

My dad, um...

He has a problem

with the bottle, you see.

And... I've tried everything,

short of kicking his butt

out of the house.

And, uh...

I'm sorry.

You're all right.

You're fine.

Now, what's your name?

Rachel.

All right, Rachel, I'm Billy.

Now, listen.

This mountain,

it gets awfully dark at night,

easy to lose track

of where you're at.

This ain't territory

you wanna get lost in.

I can't just let you up and join.

But...

But what I can do is offer

you a bed for the evening,

and tomorrow you and your

daddy can take a look around,

see if what people's

been saying is the truth.

Plenty of folks out there speaking

with forked tongues these days,

if you know what I mean.

Your dad?

I'll pay you another $200.

When we get back.

Take care of yourself, kid.

Right this way.

Where's your father?

He forgot something in the car.

- Hey.

- You must be Rachel's father.

Wayne.

I'm Sister Sheila.

Y'all need anything else,

don't hesitate to ask.

We'll be fine.

Good night.

Good night.

How'd your sister get

caught up in all this sh*t?

I... I don't know.

You know what you're

getting yourself into?

Just give me the day.

I always hated going to church.

Sh*t.

Charlotte, let me in.

Charlotte!

Charlotte!

Charlotte!

Charlotte, it's me!

Charlotte, it's me!

Just open the door!

Charlotte.

Charlotte, you want me to die?

We let Jesus

and his beliefs guide us,

not only in our hearts

but also in our hands.

Up here, we live, breathe

and sleep the Word,

submit ourselves to it.

We have addicts

and former convicts...

forgotten souls that other

churches would have turned away.

But we're all family in God's eyes.

Hello.

That's Smiling Bobby.

Brother Billy gave him his name.

Said God stuck a smile on

him and called it a day.

Brother Edgar, your commitment

to Jesus Christ starts today.

Your baptism truly is...

your new beginning.

An obedience to the wonderful,

almighty, powerful word of God.

And in commandment with our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,

we baptize this brother...

in the name of Lord Jesus.

Sweet Jesus!

How do you do it, Jesus?

How do you give us this strength?

Whoo!

Hallelujah, brother.

Hey.

You gonna stay the day,
