War Room Page #6

And we thank you

for taking care of our family.

- Amen.

- Amen.

I'm starving. Let's eat.

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.

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?

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. Lord!

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.

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.

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?
