Somebody shout, "Amen"!
"involves hundreds of
millions of dollars
from all round the world.
AH of it is tax-exempt.
have been home to legions
kind of spiritual identify.
An identity that has eluded them
for most of their lives.
Tonight "Hindsight" will take
you behind the scenes
the lives of its believers.
And you may not
believe what you see.
We'll be right back
after this.
"For the the
ransom of the Lord shall return
"and come to Zion
with singing.
"With everlasting
joy on their heads.
and gladness
and sorrow and
sighing shall flee away. "
Amen.
L, even I...
He's got hold of us
both, man.
Well, we could
have him killed.
We need to talk.
Roland, I'm not gonna have
this conversation with you
in the middle of
Dr. Cannon's sermon.
Yes, you are.
You realize this week
marks our 15th year
in these same
two chairs... 15.
It's time for us to
make our move now.
Patience has never
been one of your virtues.
We're youth
ministers.
Youth ministers.
Look at our wives.
How much longer they
expect us to be patient?
Barely making
ends meet.
Hey... shh!
I know he
can't hear us.
Can you for once just have
I can't believe
you just said that.
When was the last time
they let us preach?
Excuse me.
Uh...
You all right?
Take over
for me.
You know I
don't preach.
One of you boys, come
here and take over.
Come here, you're
coming with me.
Taking the Doctor
to the room.
It's all right,
it's all right.
- You go ahead.
- No, you go.
No, come on, man, would you
just preach, please?
We'll both preach.
You first.
Man, would you go and
take the mic?
If
I'm just saying, man,
it's just time, all right?
We're ready.
We're ready, L.C...
We can do this.
Did you see how
well we did today?
You know what,
he's right, Lawrence
You guys added some
much needed life
in that church
this morning.
Look, we didn't go to
bible school for six years
so we can sit
in the pulpit
and watch Dr. Cannon
put people to sleep
You know, people
can hear you, right?
Can we just eat?
$22,000 a
year, Law.
Come on, man,
seriously, it's time.
It's time.
Dr. Cannon will retire
soon... at some point.
And why would
he retire?
He's
raking it in.
It's just
not right.
I mean, look at
the time and energy
you two put into the church
and the youth ministries?
Yeah, she's right, she's
making a really good point.
You guys
really have...
What's wrong
with you?
Good!
Delicious, have
you ever had...
This is not the time
or place to do this.
L.C.!
It's never the right
time for you, Law.
Do you remember
the plan?
I know, but I'm sure
When we graduated
from Divinity Southern,
we agreed we give ourselves
five years at this church.
And if we
didn't move up
we start our
own church.
It's been
15 years, Law.
- 15 years.
- And open it with what, Roland?
It costs money
to open a church.
Do you have it...
do you?
YOU?
It says in
James 1:
3-4."Knowing that the testing of
your faith produces patience. "
"But let
patience have its perfect work.
Amen.
That you will be complete...
lacking nothing. "
Okay, well, it says in
"Faith by itself, if it does
not have works, is dead. "
Patience holds us
until we receive
what we're
believing in God for.
You got any more?
No, I'm
tapped out.
Good, 'cause
I'm tapped out, too.
You make
me sick.
I'm out
of here, man.
Come on.
Where you going,
where you going?
You're not staying
for dessert?
The game starts in
about 30 minutes, man.
Come on, Cass.
- All right.
- I'm having dessert.
- You got this?
- Yeah.
I might have two.
Bye, hon.
- I'll see you, sweetie.
- Okay, all right.
- See you soon.
- Yes.
You know, I just wanna go
to the ladies room, okay?
Why would you put me
on the spot like that?
What?
Lawrence, you even said
yourself it's time to leave.
I have.
But I don't want Roland
I don't like when you get in
the middle of our debates.
It makes me
uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable?
He's your
best friend.
Casandra, just stop
co-signing for him, all right?
When it's time for us to leave
then we'll be right.
Okay, okay.
Why do you have to wait
for him... You are ready?
Excuse me.
You think I was
as good as L.C.?
You were better.
It's just that the church
always seemed
to be more
receptive to him.
That's because he
goes over the top.
I mean, it sounds
good but...
I have no idea
what he's saying.
You're ready.
I think it's time to cash in
on Dad's trust fund
and open a church.
L.C. wants to come
along, so be it.
And if not, it
wasn't meant to be.
Now that is minister
Roland A. Braxton I know.
Kiss me.
So the Lord has asked me to
start my own ministry.
And I will take all the love
and knowledge that Dr. Cannon
has bestowed upon me
and someday try, try
to be a beacon of light
in the community
shining as
brightly as Dr. Cannon.
Shirley and I will
miss you.
And we love you,
God bless you.
Good job.
Good luck.
Thank you,
Dr. Cannon.
I'll miss you.
It seems like only yesterday
since these two men
came to
this church to serve.
Minister Case and
Minister Roland
are like me
and Bishop Redfem.
Tighter than that sweater that
Brother Joey is wearing.
And so it
is only fitting
to make
the final comments.
Hallelujah!
There comes a time
when you have to let go
and let God.
I don't think
y'all heard me.
There comes a time
when you have to let go
and let God.
I don't... Amen,
There comes a time
when you got to let go!
And let God.
I We gotta let go I
I I said come on I
I Come on and give
me something I
I To send him off I
I We gotta let Him I
I We gotta go I
I We gotta do it I
I We let Him go I
I I love you brother I

He's got a new house
to go to.
But whenever you
ready to come back
this house is yours.
Amen?
Amen!
- Okay.
- 7:
00... 7:30.7:
30.Hey.
You were
amazing.
Well, that was an
inappropriate hug, I think.
She's just a
young woman.
Just...
Oh, uh, these
are my friends.
Why did I think she was
away, at school?
She was, but you know, she's
been back for a while now.
Okay.
Well, I, um,
I should go.
- You go.

to lunch?
Oh, hi.

that you guys aren't leaving.
Oh.

Appreciate the word
again, thank you.
Bye ladies.
