in their souls

and sometimes you're just

trying to make a little too much

happen in their brains.

So, let's bring back

some questions, you know?

A call and response.

Who loves Jesus?

Well, I love Jesus.

I love Jesus, too.

I don't know, give 'em

something else to do

besides just sitting there

listening to to you ramble.

You think I ramble?

I outline my

sermons three times.

Forget I said that.

I'm sorry.

I told the board that the

week they is coming down,

that that was the week

of our annual revival.

Our annual revival?

Yeah, we gotta get the

town behind us, you know?

Singin', dancin', rededicatin'.

That sort of thing.

Get as many people out

as we possibly can.

Put up signs, grill

up hot dogs, potlucks,

whatever we need.

Just make a good

first impression.

I've no doubt that you

can be a good preacher.

It takes time.

Folks know that.

All I'm saying is

now is the time.

[Aaron On Radio] Some folks,

they're gonna get to Heaven

and get many crowns,

and many rewards.

And other folks

are gonna get saved

by the hairs of their chin.

If God gave us what

we all deserve,

we would all deserve damnation,

but his grace, and his mercy,

allows us believers to

enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

And I'll tell you

this right now.

I would rather be the

biggest loser in Heaven.

Think about this now.

I'd rather be cleaning

the toilets in Heaven

than the guy in

Hell who God thinks,

this fella didn't

know any better,

I'm gonna give him

the least punishment.

Miss Martha says everyone

at the potluck thought

this was the best

casserole there.

She put a picture of it up.

I swear, that woman.

It was good.

I'm sorry, babe.

Mine was so much better.

You know mine was better.

Yours was top.

[June] Yeah, mine was top.

I know.

I had both.

It is different.

Well, I'm not gonna like it, so.

(tense violin music)

(machine beeps)

[Eli] Daniel, right?

I'm hungry.

[Eli] Want to come in?

[Woman] Preacher.

Good morning.

We have got to pay this bill

or they're gonna

shut off the power.

God will provide, Miss Martha.

Well, we need him to provide

in the next seven to 10 days

or we're up poop creek

without a paddle.

Thank you, Miss Martha.

Daniel.

Just leave the door open.

You read all these?

Most of 'em.

Yeah.

[Daniel] Hmm.

[Eli] Want to take a seat?

No, I'm all right.

I've been thinking about ya.

Lunch is served.

Sit down.

So, where are you from?

A lot of places.

You're smart, ain't you?

Well, I went to Harvard.

So, no.

[Daniel] I'm not dumb.

[Eli] I know.

That was a joke.

I know what Harvard is.

It's for smart folks.

Well, I have met a lot

of dumb, and smart, people.

Even at Harvard.
