Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul.

-(passing horn honks) -(singing and clapping stops)

Every woman is not built for

the great responsibility of being a first lady.

Lee-Curtis and I...

...we're just gonna get to the other side.

Always, we're gonna get to the other side.

You know...

Have you ever seen a rat

go from the inside of a house to the outside of a house?

They chew through.

So we're-we're gonna gnaw through the hardest parts.

I mean, not that we're rats, obviously,

but just that tenacity.

So that's good. You can cut.

God favors those who favor him,

both spiritually and physically.

(congregation murmurs in agreement)

-I mean, check me out. -(applause)

Don't it look like I been favoring the Lord?

Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs

and wife First Lady Trinitie Childs

together have donated enough money

-to pay off the entire debt of the county.-Praise Jesus!

God loves those who worship him.

You know that Rolls-Royce out there in the parking lot?

I didn't buy that.

The helicopter? It's not really mine, no.

All of these wonderful things are because I worked hard

-and invested in God! -(cheering)

Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs is letting

both the mayor and the governor

host their fundraisers at his megachurch.

The new learning center

at Wander to Greater Paths Baptist Church

helmed by First Lady Trinitie Childs promises to bring

quality education to underserved communities.

I love my faithful daughters

-and my spiritual sons! -(cheering)

And I am devoted to y'all.

Every last one of you.

And with that same devotion, you, too, can be prosperous.

You, too, can be blessed!

Amen!

Pastor Childs! -(reporters clamoring)

Pastor Childs, are the allegations true?

-Sir! -No comment.

First Lady, do you have any comment?

A little space, please. Thank you very much.

First Lady Childs, will you stay?

Maybe I should dip into the Old Testament

a bit more.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

I like some of the Old Testament.

It's got rigor.

Could be good for our new look.

Straddling the new and the old.

I could perfect a good powerful straddle,

don't you think?

(silverware scraping plate rapidly)

Uh, baby.

Uh, scraping.

That's Memaw's china.

Something on your mind?

Mm.

We just have a big day ahead of us, that's all.

It's about the cameras.

And you're nervous.

-Don't be. -It's just making sure

that this doesn't end up poorly for us.

Anita Bonet is a renowned filmmaker.

-I've never heard of her. -Come on, now.

She done won awards.

Be all up and through them film festivals.

Okay. Well...

This is gonna chronicle the ultimate comeback.

This Easter is our revival.

Our renaissance.

We winners, baby.

You married a winner.

And that's all I intend to do.

Hey, I'm Rocky up in this fight.

Rocky didn't win.

How's that, now?

Well, he-he went the distance,

you know, the whole 15 rounds against Apollo Creed,

but he didn't... he didn't actually win.

All right.

But he did win in Rocky II.

Lord, baby, how many times I got to tell you?

Get past the first movie.

That one's all setup!

Lord have mercy.

Jesus, they're here.

Mm.

Mm.

We're doing this.

: Showtime.

This has been our place of ministry for,

whew, well, almost nine years now.

You know, we-we started out small but just grew like weeds.

-Didn't it, hon? Sure did.

And before long, we had all this.

That's all through the blessings of the Lord, though.

26,000 members every single Sunday!

It was a sight to see.

Mm-hmm. Yes, it was.

Now, I'm telling y'all,

you should have seen this place when it was jumping.

Course, it hasn't looked like that for a while, obviously.

No. No.

But we gonna get that all back.

Oh, yeah, we will.

Have this place looking all-- Oh.

-Shit. Shit! -Oh. Oh, boy.

-Oh, my goodness. -Now, how in the good Lord's

-lush green earth is anybody supposed to take me... -Okay.

...and the resurrection of my church seriously if I...

-(clears throat) It-- Yes. -These are Fianos!

-Those are-- that's an Italian brand. -(groans) Sorry.

-So... -Uh, we can edit around that,

-right, Anita? -Yeah.

-Can she hear? -I don't know.

Anita!

Ah. That's right.

Y'all the fly-on-the-walls type?

They're not gonna talk back to you, baby.

That's not how they do this.

Okay.

Y'all got to excuse my unholy language back there.

-Yes, yes. -I just...

-Yes. I would've got mad at that, too. -Whoo.

-(Lee-Curtis grunts) -Even, uh, Jesus lost it

in the temple that day.

: It probably was gum in the temple, too.

Okay, strength of the Lord.

Won't he do it?

-All the time. -Won't he do it?

All the time.

Oh. Okay.

Uh, over there is our creative arts center.

They ain't ready. Come on.

That's where our world-renowned dance ministries rehearse.

We got hip-hop. We got ribbon twirling.

-Miming. -Right in there.

Now, have y'all ever seen praise miming?

'Cause we do it all the time here, right, Trin?

-(grunting rhythmically) -(chuckling)

-(scatting) -(laughing)

-Uh-oh. (laughs) -Ooh, boy!

Uh, y'all l-look at the railings?

You know, we like to keep

a few options here on the church's campus.

-Never know when you're gonna need something. -Yeah.

This one time, a White House correspondent stopped by...

-Oh. -...and I had on something fantastic.

-Yes. Yeah. -It was a pinstripe.

-(clicks tongue) But... -(chuckles)

...do pinstripes evoke matters of state? No, no.

Luckily, we had all this here to switch it up.

-Mm-hmm. -And this is just as important

-as any White House visit. -Yeah, yeah.

-All right? -Ab-- Yeah, absolutely.

So, uh, what are you thinking, hon?

What is calling you for our first Sunday back?

None of these.

-Mm-mm. Nothing in here. -No?

See, our first Sunday back is Easter Sunday,

-and that-- right? -Yeah, yeah.

That deserves something special.

Something new.

-Uh, yeah. -Yeah.

-You-you sure? Nothing in here? -May I?

-I'm gonna tell you what I'm thinking. -Oh. Okay.

I'm thinking Prada.

-Right? (laughs) -Mm.

There is-- I'm t-- I'm telling you,

there is just something about a pastor in Prada.

It just-- it gives you chills.

Well, I have been blessed with some beautiful Prada.

-(Trinitie laughs) -What you think?

-Uh, purple Prada? -Hmm. I like the color.

You know what?

We don't want to go too extravagant.

Yeah, we want people to really see us,

look deep into our souls,
