you guys in the first place cuz I know that you wouldn't believe anything that I had to say now hold it don't forget who you're talking to and let's talk this through when Maxine Johnson moved to India because God sent her a message you guys threw her a going-away party and you you basically raised her ten thousand dollars for her trip what makes me so different first of all she was a devout Christian she never missed a service she was on the mission board uh begged the homeless she fed the homeless and she used to read to the sick so basically you're telling me that because I don't go to church every single Sunday God won't speak to me no sweetheart that's not what we're saying what we're trying to tell you what did God tell you to do in Red Springs he told me to go to Red Springs and work with children at a hippotherapy farm hippotherapy you don't even like children sweetheart do you realize how huge those animals are they will trample you to death mom I didn't say hippopotamus

dealing with the horses and you gotta connect with these horses like you do humans all right I have to admit I don't have a good rapport with animals okay you need to do most of the children I come

beating so fast well I feel like it's gonna jump out of my chest take a deep breath see when your heart's racing horse they can hear it from at least six feet away there you go is brie wait what are you doing max just stay there just keep keep struggling where are you going keep stroke there you go some so confident something so powerful allows us to be apart it's like being in love the Gulf's every part of us takes your breath away I don't want to let go that feeling that thank you for being such a gentleman last night you mentioned you know truth be told I didn't even think he was show up today I have a great responsibility I told me that I was supposed to be doing I think Buttercup rice I like butter cut well I gotta get them cleaned and dressed yeah I guess I got to get back to shoveling try it work work work [Music] [Music] are you stalking me no no no just checking up on you I not think that's a good I gotta call right well no no didn't seem to happen but you know what I got a better idea for you gonna be a carhop come on get on let's go come on you can make it out oh I don't know the way you jumped I'm definitely not gonna make this a habit so what's on the menu for the night ah here you go all right Luann's famous club turkey sandwich with baked potato chips okay well you know I guess you're on my evil plan if you look in there you might even see old male razor cooking here uh-huh all right so get some rest yeah I'm definitely gonna do that it's gonna take me two days to recover you know if you up to it this weekend maybe you might want to catch a movie are you asking me out on a date no best way I know how well I won't go to the movies with you but you can accompany me to church Sunday church be right here with bells on you don't have to look so excited oh no no I'm excited yeah Church no I'll be here I'll be here all right Sunday thank you for the cookie [Music] he's after you now you do notice is a white shirt you just forgive me you know I'm joking all right okay all right you may be seated thank you guys so much for being here and thank you for the music it was great you know believe it or not the attendance was actually up by two this week so maybe if we all get here at the same time you might have more people yeah I'd like for the church to welcome miss Houston is all the way from Dallas and a friend give her a drink you guys are stuck now these doors only open from the outside all the way up to the front here guys yeah it's actually softer over here doesn't get you as much come on down you know a good friend of mine told me that one of his sheep was moving to Red Springs it was in need of a really good Shepherd to make the transition smooth I accepted that honor he also told me something about Miss Houston that was a little refreshing do you mind if I share with the congregation faith accepted a vision from God that her calling was to move to Red Springs and help the children on the steps of faith farm now that's spectacular but what I find even more spectacular is the action of God see my good friend went on to tell me that faith doesn't have a great rapport with children or animals and she wasn't even a regular attendee at her previous church now I have assurance that faith will be here every Sunday but the miracle is that God uses us all in different ways we don't have to be pew members or or career Saints for God to speak to us in fact my sermon today asked the question would you know God's voice if you spoke to you I think that's something we all need to ask ourselves so it's over now our Bibles now hey how are you sparks Thank You feather thanks sir we'll see you later love Lisa thank you a secure message yeah thanks man we'll see you later hey are you good yeah yeah your sermon you want 5 today I think you're being just a little too kind there you know I think the congregation perked up when you two walked a few members are sick during bus they just ran up that's the first time I heard one of my sermons you know I've seen you around town but I don't know your name I'm sorry Marshall Lee Marshall are you Dorothy's principle actually yes I am love one and only how is your grandmother she mean as ever huh she wouldn't be mrs. Dorothy she wasn't well you'll come back and visit us all yeah yeah yes sir great faith pasture Brooks tells me that you have an angelic voice please exaggerating a little bit man well I'd like to put in just a small request um I've been really wanting to kind of branch out with our music lately just kind of I had more styles and just kind of I don't broaden a little but I just want to build things up and build some excitement goal and I just think you'd be perfect with that would you mind okay that was easy please don't leave until everyone has a chance to introduce themselves all right and I'm gonna call a pastor breaths and let him know I'm on to you just don't call him from this porch he's never gonna let that go - lets go snacks outside that's not if you brought some oh yeah No Marshalls here hey girl yeah oh yeah did they coin and put it over there on the table so why are you so late well uh I was in church a church I know Jesus Christ big momma this is faith Houston she's from Dallas my name is Noah thing then everybody call me big momma anyway the food and the conversations all free nothing like that church yeah I can't believe you scared me like that Big Momma I think I aged 15 years I see Cheryl dumped the kids on you again hey you know your sister work work work you from Dallas who is him oh hush boy yes hello Jake you you attend in Dallas I've been going to Mount Tabor Baptist Church but here I've been going to Pastor Olsen's church Oh first-rate good you got insurance oh I'm sorry I forgot to tell you big mamas you don't go for the jab she goes straight for them okay you be quiet no mom no man hey she looks like a nice woman might get you the church well the food mom mama say you're all right you're all right Bobby bless this food and bless this family better be a nourishment to our bodies amen and what miss giggles what what is it has anybody ever told you that you your grandmother looks like the woman from soul food no she doesn't look like the woman from soul food yes she really I don't see that at all all right well you know what maybe I'll tell us you'll probably get a kick out yeah Big Momma would get a kick out of it I had a good time today yeah what I had a really really great time too you know it's the first time I've ever been on a first date at the church it's pretty nice huh I guess I better turn in let me get the door for this you're gonna need to pick up the pace our job agreement is based on your clean out stalls feeding the horses as well as grooming them but the most important part is the children those children depend on us to do our job every day I'll keep up I haven't seen you interact with one child since you've been here things your focus has been other places I'm just trying to do my job last man who had this job did in half the time and you still need to work with the children can you handle that I'll be up to speed tomorrow I hope so hey those who might wanna grab some dinner I need your help I need a crash course on how to work with a horses from dressing them to brushing them down you know there is no cliff note birth please pills gonna fire me if I don't okay all right first thing you want to do do you want to respect the horse trust has got to be established think Buttercup fastest 1,200 pounds power and grace in that body but at the same time act just like a child one kick from that magnificent beasts kill you instantly yeah you already got a fare animals so you got to get over that quick alright because they can sense how do I do that I think of somebody trying to hurt somebody you loved you don't think about he just react you got to control the horse I'm mostly by the reins alright but a firm hand not abusive but firm you wanna buttercup already have rapport so you got to continue to build that relationship all right first things first won't put the pad next to the horses skin that's the pad there you go no nice and easy and want to get the Sal uh-huh like so yeah and won't make sure main is not on the meat so when you're riding horse doesn't get uncomfortable you always want to keep this on top we will let this down there we go that down and the girth so I would take the curt right here let you step back a little bit there we go we want this girth to be nice since a yeah but we don't want it too tight where irritates the horse because they irritate a horse oh that is not a fun horse now all right are you catching up with all this so far yo not good it's a lot of information but but I'm getting it next important step when you're walking behind the horse you're always going touch the horse just like you're doing right here I'll let the horse know that you did so the horse doesn't get spooked you don't want to get kicked got it if you forget just about everything I just told you you don't want to have it figured out I got it all right I'm gonna get a shot my daddy gave me his hat then ever ever happened to me on a horse nothing but good things wearing this hat not as hot as yours all right okay okay and I think you're ready [Music] does she know this starts at 7 p.m. hi sorry I'm late I'm fade don't worry about it sweetheart let's just get to practice but on behalf of the choir we're so excited we welcome you with open arms we hear that the pastor is gonna make you have the choir it's so exciting it feels like joyful noise choir or Sister Act yeah I wouldn't quite put it like that but but we'll see so what is your favorite song a mighty fortress is our God okay I don't know that one how about Lord I come home okay let's try something different actually let's try Amazing Grace everybody knows Amazing Grace right I leave the majority of songs for the choir perfect all right so let me hear your rendition awesome awesome little room for improvement anybody else want to try okay can you sing oh no no no no you on your own but you know I did text somebody nothing help is right on the way they should be here in like a

but you asked me to make sure the children come first and to keep the doors open that's right she's gonna have to do both jobs so I can hire somebody else I'll find somebody in a week you tell her about the certification Oh will right after she works with the children enough you know it's not just your head you're putting on the chopping block mine's lined up right next to yours if this doesn't work out see we're much more than I dare over here I mean we really really help people now you know our kids the mostly our mainstay but we also have 20 active adults syringe in from the ages of 18 to 65 so for us it's all about a client assistance now staff consists of two therapists we work with over 30 kids annually but we never never work with more than three kids out of time and we may be four years new a mission is quality over quantity which it brings us up to you and what this ranch would like to accomplish we want a high on a hypnotherapist that way we'd be able to work with the people with cerebral palsy autism learning disabilities speech disorders make us a much more effective wrench and you got here you afraid of horses huh now look at you and buttercup you're practically inseparable so imagine how much inspiration that would give all those children are just looking for a little bit of hope I want you to think about it all right really think about it all right okay so tell me Ken cuz I don't understand what if I mess up at him one of those kids gets hurt faith honey you move to a whole new city and you got a job without anybody's help girl I'm sure you could get

happened today yes now no what happened I could have hurt that kid yeah but you didn't yeah but I couldn't it wasn't your fault okay and these kids know the difference between pity and compassion you told us that God sent you to our farm I was wrong he was wrong why would God send me here when he knew I would fail and what you think running away is gonna solve anything scared Marshall okay that's fine if you say and that's fine if you scared we all get scared okay you leaving now changes nothing you come so far in such a short time look I get it school faith where does that leave us I don't know you need time to me I just just need a little time I don't know [Music] [Music] did you talk to her no I thought you were gonna talk to her oh I tried staff try again do you that your daughter has been on that couch for a week and I haven't seen her take as much as a slice of bread I need you to talk to your daughter honey I just need you to be the kind and loving compassionate father that you always are oh and then go talk to your daughter first and then we'll see faith what's the matter sweetheart come on now come on see what's the matter we we've been trying to wait until you were ready to talk it's been a week and your mother and I were worried like I could couldn't do what you guys are right up I'm not good with children well what does that mean it's no place that he knew I was gonna fail God doesn't make mistakes faith look at me look command now listen God said his word would not come back to him void but it shall accomplish all that he pleases and it shall prosper in the thing for which he sent it yeah but you you guys you didn't even believe me when I told you what God said nah I didn't say I didn't believe you but you said what the blimp and then all of you guys said that faith faith you have to understand my job as a husband and as a father is to protect my family when you are away from me I can't protect you no day maybe I was wrong I don't think so how do you know you said I down over there at that table you looked me in my eyes and you told me and your mother that you heard him clear as we're talking to you right now am i correct yes but there are no buts now everything God sends you to do is it's not gonna be easy however with him you can accomplish all things why does he make things so hard cuz it hasn't won a whole lot of weak Christians walking around here I guess he's trying to make me into Hercules listen you overcame your fear of animals maybe God wants you to overcome your fear of children that might be part of his plan I think it's time for you to pick yourself up and go and get what God has for you yes sir [Music] daddy yes sweetheart thank you anytime yeah sorry for losing my head from a thing where you watch faith Marshalls not here I didn't come here from Marshall I came here to get my job back and to make everything right off of me keep up Marshalls dad and his brother Patrick are married here his dad ran this place back before it was steps of faith ranch you know faith when you first came here I thought you were one of those mission seekers mission seeker people who try to build themselves up by traveling around the world helping people yeah no no I'm far from that to be honest I probably went to church maybe once a month before I moved here that's news my family thought I was crazy when I told them that God spoke to me you know I ride every morning I want to make sure I pray at least once a day so I have the strength and wisdom to help those kids when I'm on that horse feel the wind in my face see the Sun peeking through paid this guy red and purpl not realize I'm here to do more than just think about myself what we do is special you see a child walk talk for the first time like a glimpse of God [Music] this ranch means everything to Marshall in me I understand you know I don't think you do Marshall founded step is a faith dream it's just calling brother Patrick was autistic you need a lot of help in years again you know wasn't always easy on Marshall they left home when he was a teenager didn't come back till after his dad died you know anything about riding a ranch that's why I'm here you know the reason I didn't fire you because of Marshall he put his neck on the line for you he never questioned anything I did he thought you were the missing piece he had a dream that one day you two would run this place together I feel like I let everybody down faith [Music] do you really want to commit helping these kids yes then you need to become a licensed therapist trained and registered takes at least three years I'll do whatever it takes we've heard that before I understand on your last job you were an accountant yes I did payroll amongst other things I can use someone in the office yes I go v Marshall I don't know where to begin I think you might find him at his grandmother's house [Music] Hey and get out of here I'm gonna put you to work shoveling please no [Music] Oh L come right on in hi Big Mama do you know where I can find Marshall I'm down in the church I think okay thank you where are you going to find him baby women don't chase me let him come to you but I really really really need to talk to him a baby he comes here every Sunday for dinner and I don't hardly think he's gonna stop now come on help me face down yes now what are you doing here um I needed to see you you need to see me why I wanted to try to try to explain what happened you want to explain how you just left I was confused you're confused I know that sorry does not help everything but I I would like to try to make it up to you even if it takes a lifetime what happens the next time you get confused I'm not perfect I'm a work in progress I know that I'm going to make more mistakes but I will do my best to try to make it up to you as soon as possible you are my best friend and I am madly in love with you what about the children in the farm no one will work harder than me with those kids on that farm I've already spoken to Belle and she's hired me back No [Music] she didn't hire you back I did I just needed yeah and you say well you better go in and kiss that girl and drag her to the altar [Music] I help good so did I did a child with ASD such as Levi our first goal is to make sure he's not afraid of the horses if he doesn't cry our stops crying in the first 15 minutes of the process he's a good candidate for the program Levi is severely withdrawn it's like he's in his own little world we've been to every doctor and specialist no one has an answer I still want to get our hopes up if you give us a chance I think you will see a remarkable difference it won't happen overnight but it will happen we've seen it time and time again what if he gets hurt I can assure you safety is our first priority we have a staff that is very well trained and we have the best hippotherapy program in the country Levi Levi one go see horse one go see horse leave us go see it's okay oh yeah Levi meet my friend buttercup [Music] honey mommy so hard [Music] to the love [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music]
