God Bless the Broken Road

I'm tellin' you, man.

The perfect rib can't just fall off the bone.

It's gotta have a little chew to it.

- Maybe Sarge will let us take a poke

at one of them mountain goats.

Have a little Afghan barbecue.

- Can you guys talk about something other than food?

Hang in there, Nelson.

We get home in a couple weeks,

Amber and I will take you to the church barbecue.

Come on, Sarge.

I don't know nothin' about that church stuff.

- Yeah, well you never had Pastor Williams' ribs before.

Johnson knows what I'm talkin' about.

So good!

Till then, lock and load.

I don't wanna go to church.

- Come on. Don't you want to go sing?

I don't feel like it.

- You know, singing God's praises

for the gifts that we've been given,

that's what we do.

- Even when we don't feel like it?

- Especially when we don't feel like it.

I miss Daddy.

I do, too.

But he's gonna be home soon!

Come on, I made you breakfast.

Mrs. Amber Hill?

No.

I regret to inform you...

No, no!

- That your husband was killed in combat...

on Thursday, May 20th, 2014.

No!

No!

Mom?

It's my turn to bring the Sunday school snack.

- Announcer: Hey there, folks! Welcome back to the program.

And, you know, the race world is still buzzing

about Cody Jackson's monstrous crash at the DAV 200.

The video's gone viral, and it's insane out there.

Eddie, what's happened to Coach Gibbs' golden boy?

- I think, Joe, you'd have to ask Coach Gibbs that.

I don't know. What I do know is everyone's coming down on him.

And I don't think it's fair.

I think he's a tremendous talent.

- They don't try to split three cars and take the leader

on the high side up in the marbles on the turn.

- Hand me a 9/16 box end, would you?

Heard me comin', right?

The whole neighborhood did.

You must be Cody.

Joe Cartier.

That's a nice ride.

It sure is.

And I'd like to keep it that way.

Word is, you might have some trouble with that.

Rubbing is racing, right?

- No, it isn't, and this isn't a box end.

Grab that box.

We don't want to be late.

Late for what?

Church!

Church?

Bree, did you get your Bible?

Yeah, I have it.

- Whoa, there. - Can I help you?

- Are you Amber Hill? - Yeah, I'm Amber.

You've been served.

- Who was that? - Never mind.

It doesn't matter. Come on. Let's go.

Let's get in the car.

- There you go. Good morning.

Good morn... morning.

- Are you gonna pick me up after church?

- No. You're gonna stay at Hannah's.

Okay.

Bree!

You forgot your treat.

I wish you would stay.

- I know, but momma's got to go to work today.

Okay.

- Hey, Bree! What'cha got there?

Who's that?

She's out of your league.

- Mmm. What'cha got? - Crazy Krispies.

- Ooh, Crazy Krispies looks good!

Morning, Joe.

Hey, Karena.

This is Cody Jackson.

He just volunteered

to head up our youth outreach program.

- Oh! Well, nice to meet you, Cody.

Nice to meet you.

I did what?

Good morning, Miss Bree.

Hi, Hannah.

Is your mom coming?

So glad you could make it in.

- I am so... - Save it.

Not interested.

Hey, did you have a chance

to think that shift manager position?

- Why don't you try being on time

for the job you have first?

I have a question for you.

What happens when the plans you had

for your life don't pan out?

Some people blame God.

They give up on God.

They stop praying.

They stop reading His word,

stop going to His church.

Do you see all those empty seats around you?

Those are missing brothers and sisters.

Love calls us to bring them home.

They need to know that God is not done with them,

that He has not abandoned them.

God wants them to come back to Him.

And, if they are willing

to turn to him with just the tiniest seed of faith...

he will show them

that nothing is impossible.

"Truly, I tell to you

"if you have faith the size of a mustard seed

"you will say this to the mountain.

"Move from here to there, and it will move,

"and nothing will be impossible for you."

Thank you, David.

Can anyone see what I'm holding?

This is a mustard seed.

It's one of the tiniest seeds in the world,

but when you plant it a huge, strong tree can grow from it.

That's a pretty powerful seed, isn't it?

So what Jesus was saying was

even the tiniest little bit of faith

can make a difference in our lives

and in the lives of our friends and family

because our faith...

can help us lead others to God.

- Well, it's really great to see you, Monica.

It's good to see you, too.

- How are things going? - Great.

Can't complain. Super busy.

Just landed a huge client, got promoted to V.P.

- Wow. That's fantastic.

- Table seven is ready for coffee refills.

Ten is ready to order,

and your mother-in-law's at table five.

- Well, good luck with table five.

Thanks.

Morning, Patti. Would you like coffee?

It's nice to see you, Amber.

Shame I have to come all the way down here to do it.

Coffee?

How's Bree?

She's good.

What would you like?

- I'd like to spend more time with my granddaughter.

And to eat?

- Has she visited Darren's grave yet?

If she asks, I'll take her.

She's eight.

You have to do these things for her.

You set the tone.

Where is Bree today?

She's at church.

It just seems to me that Bree

could benefit from a more consistent home life.

- And that is exactly what I am giving her.

By working seven days a week?

- That is something I have to do right now.

Why? I'm...

I didn't come here to pick a fight.

I came to make you an offer.

With eye shadow and lip gloss?

- Amber, I'd like to help you set up your own franchise.

- You can make good money as an independent consultant.

You can quit working here and be home with Bree.

I've got this under control.

- We have our differences. We do.

But I think we can agree

that Bree is the most important thing

in the world to both of us.

Tell Bree I said hi.

- Looks like Joe's youth outreach program

is going to be a big hit.

- What kid wouldn't want to hang out with a race car driver?

- All right, here we go! Come on.

Closer, closer. Don't push.

Step a little closer. Don't push.

Okay, cowboy. Help me with this.

One, two, three!

Hoo-ah!

How do ya like that, huh?

Okay, who wants to take this puppy for a spin?
