00:00Did you kill my son?
00:02Zay made the call.
00:04I need a favor.
00:05Where's Zay at?
00:07Why?
00:07Just tell me where the fuck I can find this nigga.
00:10Payday's until tomorrow.
00:12I don't want no money.
00:13What you say to that?
00:19So, who's in charge of the extra cash flow now that your plug is there?
00:24His number two.
00:26Do you have a relationship with him?
00:28Nah, but I need to build one.
00:31Now, how the fuck is that gonna benefit me?
00:33I'm here to make sure your path is protected.
00:36So, how much is your guidance?
00:37Pastor, two acts a session.
00:41I'm worried.
00:42About what?
00:43About whether or not I can really be here for EJ right now.
00:47We can take him for a few days.
00:50No, I mean full time.
00:51So, you get mad at me for buying tit for car without talking to you first.
00:55But y'all can just agree on bringing another kid in the house without talking to me.
00:59We need to support Tiff.
01:02It's me or them.
01:09What do you need?
01:10A new place to stay.
01:11What you should do is enroll in school and stay on campus.
01:14No, I can't do that.
01:15I need you to ask your friend to give Bakari a scholarship.
01:18Alicia, if I give you this scholarship, you owe me your life.
01:25I know you killed my son.
01:27No, no, no, no, no.
01:32Nobody's gonna avenge the death of my son but me.
01:56Alicia.
01:57Alicia.
02:00What do you want?
02:01How can I help you?
02:03I need to talk to you.
02:05What's wrong?
02:06I'm pregnant.
02:09Oh.
02:11My.
02:12Gosh.
02:14Oh.
02:15This is a miracle.
02:18Rob would have been so happy.
02:20Yeah, he would have.
02:21My poor baby won't get a chance to meet his baby.
02:24No.
02:26But we'll raise him with love.
02:29What makes you think it's a him?
02:31I feel it.
02:33How do you feel?
02:35Nervous.
02:36Scared.
02:37You don't have anything to be afraid of.
02:39I have a child and one on the way.
02:42Rob is gone.
02:43I'm all alone.
02:44You're not alone.
02:46You can come and stay here with me.
02:47I prefer it.
02:48I can't just move.
02:49Of course you can.
02:51I'll have my people come and pack you up.
02:53You won't lift a finger.
02:56I don't know.
02:58It'll be better for both of us.
03:02Okay.
03:04A new heir to the throne and about to be born.
03:19So, what are you hoping to get from this?
03:23I want God to forgive me for the dirt I've done and the pain I caused.
03:27That's a heavy lift.
03:28That's why I'm paying you.
03:30Just a guide.
03:32You have to do the work.
03:33The fuck is the work?
03:34First you gotta look to God, get right with Him, and then you gotta get right with yourself.
03:38And how do I do that?
03:40You have to change.
03:41Change what?
03:43Your behavior.
03:44Your behavior.
03:47Thank you for your time.
03:49Look, you can't just sit here and talk.
03:51When you walk out that door, you have to realize you are a child of God.
03:55At all times.
03:56Not just when it's convenient.
03:58Do you understand what I do?
03:59I understand it isn't legal.
04:01I can't be soft.
04:02I'm asking you to be noble.
04:04In this line of work, I have to step out of myself sometimes.
04:07When do you have to do that?
04:08Whenever I take someone's life, I go somewhere in my mind.
04:12Where do you go?
04:13I don't know, but I'm not in my body.
04:17That's interesting.
04:20I can't lose that.
04:24If you get closer to God, you might.
04:29Then I can't do this.
04:33Nah, man.
04:34When you're ready, let me know.
04:44You know, sharing your barber means you actually really fucked with me.
04:48Yeah, don't make me regret it.
04:50I mean, I haven't made you regret anything yet.
04:53That's true.
04:54You really came through when Duda was on my ass.
04:56I appreciate that shit.
04:58Man, I'm just glad we ain't got to do shit for that nigga no more.
05:01Me too.
05:08I'm sorry.
05:10I'm sorry.
05:12What?
05:13When did you start doing that shit?
05:14My nails?
05:16I don't know, I just tried it.
05:17I kind of like it.
05:19You like girls, right?
05:20Of course.
05:21All right.
05:23I mean, I'm not going to lie, though.
05:24I kind of do want to keep an open mind.
05:26What the fuck that mean?
05:27Exactly what it sounds like.
05:28I mean, does that mean you gay?
05:31No, I think it's more like...
05:34I don't know, I think it might be like an energy thing for me.
05:37We the same age, right?
05:38Yeah.
05:39So this ain't no new age shit?
05:40No, bro.
05:41Niggas just be different.
05:43Yeah, I guess.
05:45What?
05:47I just think niggas wearing nail polish is kind of gay.
05:49Okay, what?
05:50And so having three babies by three different women is kind of straight?
05:53All right.
05:54Whatever, bro.
05:56Look.
05:57I love you.
05:58No matter what.
05:59You better.
06:00Just don't expect me to start doing that shit.
06:02Bro, I don't know how you talking shit about my polish.
06:04And that pinky ring you got on is getting curious.
06:06What?
06:07You know, with the black diamonds.
06:08I got it.
06:09Mixing metals and shit.
06:14Let's get you settled in.
06:17This is your room.
06:26Are you serious?
06:29Welcome home.
06:39Hey.
06:50This is all happening fast, don't you think?
06:53Yeah, I think it'll be good.
06:56For you?
06:57Or for her?
06:58For both of us.
07:00Still want us to watch EJ?
07:02Yeah, because I think staying here would just confuse him even more.
07:09How you doing?
07:12I'm pregnant.
07:14What?
07:16I know, I just found out.
07:18Oh my God.
07:20How you feel?
07:22Nervous.
07:26I just knew he would have been so happy.
07:29I'm so sorry.
07:31Me too.
07:33Can you keep that to yourself for now?
07:35Okay.
07:36You could tell Emmett, but that's it.
07:38Of course.
07:40I guess we both about to be waddling around.
07:42This is so crazy.
07:45Alicia was right.
07:46About what?
07:48About us being a ghetto black brady bunch.
07:53She ain't have to say it.
07:54Girl, you know she gonna say it.
07:57She's not built for anything.
08:09Who are you?
08:11Oh, you must be Jamal's little sister.
08:14I have a name.
08:16Yeah, Linnae, right?
08:18Yes.
08:19It's nice to meet you.
08:22Jamal didn't tell you about us?
08:24No.
08:25That's interesting.
08:27Is it?
08:28I mean, well, we are kind of new and everything.
08:30Then why are you moving in?
08:31Shit.
08:32Linnae.
08:34This is my girlfriend.
08:35I know.
08:36Why is she moving in here?
08:38Because I asked her to.
08:40We need to talk.
08:42Yeah.
08:43We do too.
08:57Can I stay with you?
08:59Can I stay with you?
09:02For how long?
09:05Just while I finish school.
09:09Hey.
09:10You know you're gonna be on the couch, right?
09:12That's cool.
09:13I'm used to that shit.
09:17You got enough money for school or you gonna have to put in some extra work?
09:20No, I'm good.
09:22I got a scholarship.
09:24How you do that?
09:29Professor Garner.
09:32With some strings.
09:34Good for you.
09:41Where is Ronnie's other shoe?
09:42His what?
09:43His shoe.
09:44EJ, turn that TV down.
09:46Ronnie, where your shoe at?
09:47He knew.
09:48Why would I be asking you?
09:50Here you go, mama.
09:51His mama said he's gluten-free now, remember?
09:53How come none of us was gluten-free when we was kids?
09:55Because our mamas didn't know no better.
09:57Nah, they didn't give a shit.
09:58Emmett, language.
10:01I'm doing my best.
10:02You gotta do better.
10:04EJ has his gym class today and I was thinking you could take Cassius and Ronnie by that community garden because I know that was nice.
10:09Some of that stuff will have to wait.
10:10You can come with me to Smokey's.
10:11We need to put these kids on a routine.
10:13But I also have to work.
10:15I'm just saying EJ needs stability more than anyone right now.
10:19I get it, but that's a lie.
10:21I'm tired.
10:23You don't get to be tired.
10:24I'm the one that's pregnant.
10:28Okay.
10:34How you feeling?
10:37I'm grateful we have each other.
10:40I don't see how Tiff is going to do this by herself.
10:42Do what?
10:43Oh, she said I can tell you she's pregnant.
10:46What?
10:47Yeah.
10:49Damn.
10:50I know, it's so sad.
10:52Yeah.
10:55You okay?
10:56Yeah, I'm just in shock.
10:58But I'm happy for her.
11:00Yeah, I'm happy for her too.
11:02Bittersweet, you know?
11:04Yeah.
11:05Wait, film this.
11:08Thank you, baby.
11:15Ronnie, come here.
11:26Hey.
11:36Who's the first lady?
11:38That's some chick I used to mess with.
11:41You still messing with her?
11:43I ain't got to tell you nothing.
11:44We don't go together.
11:46Is she really a first lady?
11:49Yeah.
11:50Of a church?
11:52Yeah.
11:53Which one?
11:54Man, don't worry about it.
11:56Secretive.
11:58No, your ass is nosy.
12:00I just like you.
12:02Stop being so damn clingy.
12:04I like clingy too.
12:06No, I don't like Carla.
12:10I am.
12:23You need to ask me before you move some random girl in here.
12:26I don't need to run shit about you.
12:27Yes, you do.
12:28I live here.
12:29I'm your guardian.
12:30That doesn't mean you don't have to show me the decency of telling me you moving some bitch in here.
12:33Don't call her a bitch.
12:35If you told me her name, I wouldn't have to.
12:38It's Dom.
12:39I know that now.
12:40Good.
12:41Good?
12:46You really like her?
12:48I do.
12:51Okay.
12:52Fine.
12:53I'll give her a chance.
12:58And I'm sorry I didn't talk to you about it earlier.
13:01It's okay.
13:06Hey.
13:08I want to have a baby.
13:11Oh, Jesus.
13:13That's your reaction to me saying I want to have a baby?
13:16Are we really having this conversation?
13:18Yeah, why can't we?
13:20Oh.
13:25Because I'm still raising Gemma.
13:27Okay, I'd like a chance to have a child of my own.
13:30Since when?
13:32I always wanted to have one.
13:33I just...
13:35I didn't want to do it alone, and I think you're a great father.
13:39And I love you.
13:41I love you, too.
13:44And I love the life we're building.
13:46When we got a good thing going, I don't want to rock the boat.
13:49It would only rock us for a little while.
13:51No.
13:52It gets harder as they get older.
13:53Trust me.
13:55You love Gemma.
13:56Of course I do.
13:58And I'm also glad she's out of my house.
14:01So you're saying no?
14:03I'm...
14:07I'm asking you to consider where I'm coming from.
14:10What?
14:12Beet juice?
14:14Why is he drinking beet juice?
14:16Because it's good for your health.
14:18And more important, it's good for the baby.
14:22You're pregnant?
14:23Shod, please.
14:25I'm in my second spring.
14:27Oh.
14:29Oh.
14:31Oh.
14:33Oh.
14:35Oh.
14:37Oh.
14:39So you're not pregnant?
14:41No.
14:42Oh.
14:43But she is.
14:45Hey.
14:46Hey.
14:48Oh.
14:49She lives with us now.
14:51Oh, oh, oh, okay.
14:52Yeah.
14:53Okay.
14:54Yeah.
14:55All right.
14:56Well, I'll let you two ladies handle that then.
14:58Good.
15:02Tiff.
15:04It's important that you avoid simple carbohydrates while pregnant.
15:10Why?
15:12Because you're not getting gestational diabetes on my watch.
15:16What you eat, the baby eats.
15:19And this little boy is going to inherit everything I own,
15:22so you have to take care of him.
15:27You know it could be a girl.
15:29Well, if it is, I hope she inherits my beauty.
15:31Excuse me?
15:33Look, Tiff.
15:35This pregnancy is going to gift you a sense of urgency you've never known before.
15:40You're going to become a heightened version of yourself.
15:43Look at the world with different eyes from now on.
15:47You act like I haven't been pregnant before.
15:51It's different now.
15:53How?
15:55Because you're carrying my legacy.
15:57Which is why I want you to become the owner of the cigar lounge and barbershop.
16:02What?
16:03It's time to get to work.
16:05Especially before the baby comes.
16:07So I shouldn't be resting right now?
16:09You have to get used to moving.
16:11You have to be a warrior.
16:16Okay.
16:21I want you to go by the lounge today.
16:25Just to get to lay of the land.
16:28Thank you, Alicia, for everything.
16:30Of course.
16:33We're family now.
16:42Hey, look at me.
16:43I told y'all to hang out in my office.
16:44Why y'all out here?
16:45Okay, stop running.
16:46EJ.
16:47This your brother.
16:48I know you're here.
16:49Hey, I know you're here.
16:50This your brother.
16:51I know you're here.
16:52I know you're here.
16:53Hey, I know you're here.
16:55Okay, stop.
16:57One second.
16:58All right, y'all settle down.
16:59Stop playing.
17:01Oh, I think he got a boob.
17:02How you know?
17:04Well, like ten minutes ago he told me he had to drop one.
17:07Hey, you know what?
17:09I'm good, bro.
17:10No, it's okay.
17:11Y'all got too much shit going on up in here.
17:13Grab him.
17:14Grab him.
17:15Grab him.
17:16I'm going to get on the fryer real quick.
17:17Rodney, come here, man.
17:18I'm going to change in a minute.
17:19Hey, stop running in here.
17:22Slow down a little bit.
17:23Slow down.
17:26Oh, Rodney.
17:27Rodney.
17:28Oh, his arm looks bad.
17:29I got to take him to the ER.
17:31All right, I'm going to call Keisha.
17:38Chad, why you didn't tell me y'all were going to Q's A?
17:42Because it wasn't none of your concern.
17:43It is if I tell you where the fuck he at.
17:45Hey, hold up, shorty.
17:46You owed me.
17:48I guess we fucking even.
17:49Yeah, I guess so.
17:52Hello, handsome.
17:53Hey.
17:56Honey, I was talking to Bakari.
18:00Bakari, do you have your manuscript?
18:02Yes, ma'am, I sure do.
18:06I can't wait to read this in the tub tonight.
18:10I hope you like it.
18:11I'm sure I will.
18:19Okay, shorty.
18:21It's broken.
18:22Shit.
18:23Fuck.
18:24Language.
18:25You know how much it's going to cost?
18:26Why you let him run around in the kitchen?
18:28I didn't let him.
18:29They weren't listening to me.
18:30And whose fault is that?
18:31Hey, I need to know if my son is going to be safe in your care.
18:33He is.
18:34Hey, lower your voice.
18:35Don't tell me to lower my fucking voice.
18:37I'm going to send a nurse in to set his arm.
18:43There you go.
18:45Of course.
18:47What up?
18:48What's up?
18:49Hey, you Amy's brother, right?
18:52Yeah.
18:54That's my homie, Bakari.
18:56Damien.
18:57Sure.
18:59All right, what you want?
19:00Yo.
19:02What the fuck is up with the name?
19:03Just give me your order, bro.
19:04Hey, look, I ain't talking shit.
19:06I'm just asking the question.
19:08I like him.
19:09Good for you.
19:11Now let me get a, uh, two-piece, cheddar biscuit.
19:15Gotcha.
19:17Hey, you know those blunts are bad for your lungs.
19:20You should try some edibles.
19:22I have.
19:23That shit fuck with my stomach.
19:25That's just because you haven't had the right ones.
19:28I can find you some better ones, though.
19:29Bet.
19:30Bet.
19:31Better be that gas-cooled one.
19:40So, um,
19:43did she kill Zane?
19:46What, you the cops?
19:48You her lawyer?
19:50I'm her man.
19:52I hear she like him younger than you.
19:54Where you hear that?
19:57I'm just fucking with you.
20:00Look at your face.
20:01Yeah, huh?
20:03Play too good.
20:04Hold up.
20:05You want some help?
20:06I got it.
20:11Oh, look, Tiff,
20:13I just want to say I'm sorry.
20:15Rob was a good dude.
20:16He didn't deserve what happened to him.
20:18If there's anything you need from me,
20:19I'm always here for you.
20:21I'm good.
20:23You don't have to be strong
20:24for me.
20:28Um,
20:30I can use some help
20:31giving this place a new look.
20:33I could help with that.
20:34I got idle hands anyway.
20:39Okay.
20:41I got you.
20:45Yeah.
20:55Macari told me Zane got killed.
20:58I got to tell Cam.
21:00Damn.
21:02Did she really love that nigga?
21:05I don't know.
21:06I think she really cared about him.
21:09I can't lie.
21:11I'm glad that nigga did.
21:13Don't say that.
21:14He's still one of God's children.
21:16Man, that nigga would have took us out
21:18if he had to.
21:20Yeah, well,
21:21now he's gone.
21:25Friends,
21:26I got some tea for you all today.
21:29So I heard
21:30that First Lady Tatiana
21:31on New Hope on Zion Church
21:33is hooking up
21:34with Jake Taylor.
21:36Yeah, you heard me right.
21:37See, I always knew
21:38some of these church folks
21:39wasn't shit,
21:40but that age difference
21:41is giving borderline grooming.
21:44I'm not trying to be messy.
21:45I do want to hear y'all's thoughts.
21:56Well, what?
21:59Nigga's crazy.
22:00Why you getting praised
22:01and the First Lady getting dragged?
22:03That ain't right.
22:04Man, it is what it is.
22:10Um...
22:12Um, you need help with that?
22:14No, but I need help
22:15with the back door.
22:18Um, it won't open.
22:21I think it might be some money
22:23or something back here.
22:26This key doesn't work.
22:29Let me give it a try.
22:30Let's see.
22:31Shit.
22:32Okay, yeah,
22:33there's definitely
22:34some money up in there
22:35because that shit ain't budging.
22:37I'll bring the guys in tomorrow
22:38and we'll take it off the hinges.
22:40Okay.
22:41Yeah?
22:43Of course.
22:44See you tomorrow.
23:03Appreciate it.
23:06Love my band.
23:08It's all good, man.
23:10Uh...
23:12Just dealing with a lot right now.
23:14Say...
23:19You ever thought you, like,
23:20moved on from somebody
23:21and something happens
23:23and you get this weird feeling
23:24in your stomach?
23:26It's strange,
23:27like, pinching your heart.
23:29Yeah.
23:30It's strange, like,
23:31pinching your heart
23:32because you know
23:33y'all are done forever.
23:35Yeah.
23:37You know exactly what you mean.
23:39I just can't believe
23:40Tiff's pregnant.
23:42What?
23:45Yeah.
23:47That's what I said.
23:54They tagging me left and right!
23:56You ruined me!
23:57Of course you're only
23:58worried about yourself.
23:59It's not just me.
24:00My church hangs in the balance!
24:01Oh, now it's your church.
24:02I built this place
24:03from the ground up!
24:04I helped you!
24:05And now you're burning it down!
24:07If you could have just
24:08been more careful,
24:09we wouldn't be in this mess!
24:10I was careful.
24:11Not careful enough!
24:12You do realize
24:13you're gonna be known
24:14as Fatiana now?
24:15Wherever you go!
24:16Just calm down, Pastor.
24:17Look, elephants
24:18should never be concerned
24:19with the opinions of ants.
24:21These ants pay tithes.
24:23You need to stand
24:24by your wife right now.
24:30No.
24:31First ladies stand by
24:32their disgraced husbands
24:33all the time.
24:34No, no, that's true, Pastor.
24:35You have to do
24:36the hard thing in this moment.
24:38Fine.
24:42Do we need to put out
24:43a statement?
24:44No, no.
24:46Talking would only
24:47fuel the flames.
24:48Let's stand as a unified front
24:49and rise above the bullshit.
24:51We have to address
24:52this somehow.
24:53I agree with Charles.
24:57Of course you do.
24:59So, when I give
25:00my sermon tomorrow,
25:02am I supposed to just
25:03go up there and act like
25:04nothing's going on?
25:08Let me preach tomorrow.
25:17Better not be getting ready
25:18for some other woman.
25:20Oh, you know we got
25:21the men's circle on Wednesdays.
25:23Yeah, I'm glad
25:24y'all doing that.
25:26Yeah, me too.
25:27Shoot, we need it.
25:29I think I should get
25:30the ladies together.
25:31Oh, Lord, here we go.
25:33What?
25:34Look, all y'all gonna do
25:35is get together and gossip.
25:37That is not true.
25:38Women are more stressed than men.
25:40Yeah, we the ones
25:41paying all the bills.
25:42Please, what bills
25:43is Charles paying over
25:44to Alicia's house?
25:46Hey, leave Charles alone.
25:47At least he moved out.
25:49So, he cheats on Deja
25:51with Marcus' woman.
25:53Now he laying up under
25:54Rob's mom.
25:56He's a mess.
25:57Hey, don't be talking
25:58about my brother like that.
25:59See, that's why
26:00I don't need you
26:01and your friends up in here
26:02just putting us down.
26:04Putting you down
26:05or just telling the truth?
26:07Our group is about
26:08uplifting each other.
26:09Now, what y'all gonna do?
26:10Uplift each other as well
26:12and be support for each other
26:14because messing with y'all,
26:16we clearly need it.

26:21so I can make sure
26:22I disappear.

26:58he would listen to me.
27:01He made his own decisions.
27:05I don't like being
27:06surrounded by death.
27:07It's...
27:09It's not natural.
27:12I don't wanna be
27:13around it either.
27:17What can we do?
27:23Leave.
27:27Somebody gotta stay.
27:32I'm just scared.
27:37Yeah.
27:39Me too.
27:50I'm sorry I snapped early.

27:54It's been a stressful day.
27:56I just feel like
27:57the walls is closing in on me.
27:59Me too.
28:00I thought once
28:01Duda was dead,
28:02we could chill.
28:04But now you being pregnant
28:05and us having EJ full time,
28:06it's like a whole other
28:07stress is swooped in
28:08and it's just as stressful
28:09as somebody trying to kill me.
28:11And even more so.
28:14Forget Duda,
28:15these kids gonna be
28:16the death of us.
28:17We got this.
28:19We all numbered now.
28:23I'm sorry I didn't
28:24discuss EJ moving in with you.
28:27You made the right decision.
28:29But we a team.
28:31Yeah.
28:32We just gotta keep
28:33rolling with the punches.
28:34Bounce them back.
28:36Yep.

28:39hospital bills.
28:41We split our hospital bills.
28:43We split our hospital bills.

28:50I'll bug my mama
28:51for some money.
28:56I knew that was coming.
29:00I hate this.
29:01Look, we knew something
29:02like this was gonna happen
29:03sooner or later.
29:04I'm just happy I was here
29:05when shit hit the fan.
29:07Yeah, your timing
29:08is interesting.
29:09Come on, Pastor,
29:10don't do me like that.
29:11I'm genuinely here to help you.
29:12You also here to preach.
29:13I'm here to lift you up.
29:19I appreciate it.
29:22Maybe you and Tatiana
29:23go on a trip, you know?
29:24Get away for a while.
29:25I think it'll be good
29:26for you guys.

35:08when that happens?
35:09Shit, I smoke.
35:11How much?
35:12A lot.
35:13Does it make the ghosts go away?
35:15No, but it makes it
35:16hard for me to hear them.
35:21Who's been haunting you
35:22the most lately?
35:27This nigga had to take out
35:28for disrespecting me.

35:58You're supposed to be better
35:59than the rest of us.
36:00We're often the worst among you.
36:02Why do you think

36:04You have to have an
36:05intimate relationship with sin
36:07to preach about it,
36:08to warn people
36:09of its dangers.
36:10I can't tell you

44:00It's hard, okay, and what'd you say I said, yes

44:28What I'm gonna do without you
44:31Miss me
44:34What you weren't thinking about us getting back together
44:39I mean don't I like we still got some energy
44:43We do but
44:45We couldn't do that together
44:47Yeah
44:49Not again
44:50I'm not Jim. I ain't
44:53Don't say
45:01Hallelujah
45:04My brothers and sisters
45:06Heavy is the head that wears the crown
45:10We often look to our leaders as if they're supposed to be perfect
45:15Well, let me remind y'all
45:18Only God is perfect
45:21I
45:22See a lot of people on the Internet and in real life casting stones as if they've never said
45:30Now don't get me wrong all sins aren't created equal
45:36But I do know this God is working on every single one of us
45:46Oh, y'all don't want me to go there
45:49I
45:50Don't want me to keep it above
45:53Don't want me to keep it a bean in the back
45:56Well for those of y'all who do
45:58Please just keep listening
46:01Let us be truthful y'all
46:05We all have temptations we all have fallen top flesh
46:09We all have burdens to bear
46:11We just have to own that
46:14So we can ask God to see us through
46:18Not
46:20Not get over not avoid
46:26Not outrun
46:28But we need his guidance to walk us through the valley
46:34To help us understand why are we so weak to earthly things?
46:41Why are we so drawn to chaos
46:44Why does peace make us feel restless
46:48Why do healthy relationships feel foreign?
46:55Maybe because our parents showed us unhealthy examples of what love was
47:00And that's all we knew
47:04We need God to show us a new
47:11Who am I talking to today
47:13Who am I preaching to today?
