Breakthrough

Come on. Let's go.

I made eggs.

So I'm gonna pick you up after practice at five.

Six.

I wanna shoot around.

Is that Chad kid still giving you trouble?

Nope.

Okay. (sighs)

(smacks lips) Hey, Sammy. Sammy, come on.

So I was thinking,

How about I call your coach? -No! Hell no!

Language.

Good morning.

Thank you. -You're welcome.

Good morning.

Hey, Dad.

So, the Warriors are playing

the Thunder tomorrow in Oklahoma City.

What do you think is gonna happen?

Well, Steph Curry just scored thirty-two points last night.

So what I think is that,

Chef Curry is gonna whomp on 'em.

I don't know. Durant's pretty good.

He is the reigning MVP.

John.

Is somebody gonna bless our food?

Okay. Well, I guess I will.

Lord, though he exasperates me to no end,

I am grateful for my son.

For I know that you've created him for a purpose,

thus far only known to you.

Bless this food to our bodies. Amen.

Amen. -JOHN: Amen.

I'm thinking about raising your allowance

to 100 bucks a week.

What are you doing?

Your mom is just trying to get her son's attention.

Hey, John.

Wassup, guys? -Hug.

Please go.

Oh.

Hey, Mrs. J.

Hey, Chayla. Hey, Emma. How are you girls?

Living the dream, Mrs. J.

Oh, I tried to friend you on the Instagram,

but I must be doing something wrong.

Oh, my God!

Please, just go, Ma. -(Chayla laughs)

I'm kidding!

Have a good day!

Bye!

Hey, Abby. -Hey.

Good morning, students.

Today is Thursday, January 15th.

Yearbook committee meets after school today.

And there's a basketball game at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Go Eagles!

Yeah! Go Eagles!

Lastly,

a reminder that Monday is a national holiday

in remembrance of Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.

Emma and I got tickets to see the musical Hairspray

at the Fox Saturday night.

Wow! Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Mmm, dudes in tights.

It's not a ballet.

Look, I'm pretty sure they'll be wearing pants.

So what are you guys doing?

We're crashing at Rieger's after the game.

So jealous. -DOREEN: Good morning.

Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

Place your right hand over your heart.

Ready? Begin.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag

of the United States of America

and to the Republic for which it stands

one Nation under God

indivisible

with liberty and justice for all.

We might have some girls over, too.

Who? -Can't say until it happens.

But they're hot. -Totally.

Hey, whoa. You're joking, right?

No.

Josh Rieger, Josh Sanders, quiet please.

Okay, gang. Family oral history reports continue.

Yesterday we heard from Chad Green,

whose family came over on the Mayflower.

My husband's family did as well.

His great-great-grandfather was a knight of some kind.

And then we heard from Chayla,

whose family lineage includes the birth of the blues

in Memphis, Tennessee.

(students exclaiming) -(chuckles)

John, would you do the honors and kick us off, please?

Didn't do it.

Why not?

I didn't have time.

If you don't do the assignment, you'll get a failing grade.

"Yesterday is not ours to recover,

"but tomorrow is ours to win or lose."

Doreen, you're up.

Oh, wow!

"My child, you believe me for so little.

"Don't be so safe in the things you pray."

Oh. I'm so sorry. -Hey, lady.

Hey, morning. -WOMAN 2: Morning, Joyce.

The morning got away from me.

Does anyone need any more coffee?

No, thank you. -No, thanks.

Hey. -WOMAN: What passage?

Is everything all right?

Not exactly.

John's birthday is coming up,

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, I remember those always been hard for him.

Yeah. It's like he's building this wall between us.

And I hate myself for it.

I know he's hurting and I just wanna fix it.

They're always so much harder to deal with

once they start shaving.

And then they leave for college.

Come on.

Sorry, ladies.

I did read the book twice.

Uh, so where were we?

Um, we were just talking about

how Beth Moore is asking us to pray boldly.

So, what does it mean to you all, "to pray boldly"?

I don't know. It just seems,

Oh! Hey, ladies. -MELISSA: Pastor.

Uh, we need to use this room for a staff meeting.

You guys wrapping things up?

Uh, no.

Not for another 22 minutes.

And I have a women's ministry meeting here, back-to-back.

Oh, um,

I'm sorry, but I don't think that's gonna work.

I'm sorry?

I reserved both times on the sign-up sheet.

Okay. All I have on my calendar is staff meeting.

Where's this elusive sign-up sheet?

Taped to the door that you walked in.

Been going on ten years now.

Oh.

Well, it's official.

We're going digital, ladies. See Maddy for details.

Listen, I don't know what you do in California,

but I have been leading this women's ministry meeting

for over five years.

We don't cancel meetings...

I don't know who's counting, Joyce,

but I've been in ministry for over ten years,

including California.

Hey, maybe you guys could use

that Starbucks around the corner?

That'd be fun, right?

Oh, are you paying?

Well, I hadn't thought about it, but, uh,

Great.

Okay, ladies, let's get out of here

because our new pastor,

has more important business to tend to.

No, that's not true.

I'm sorry, ladies. I promise, this will not happen next week.

Thank you, Pastor.

And please, I've been asking for six months.

Call me Jason.

We know, Pastor.

Why are you so hard on him?

That haircut, for one.

Right here, right here.

Good rebound. Let's run, Eagle.

Set up that offense.

Spread out the floor. Spread it out.

Come on, John. Set it up.

I'm open.

Nice, nice.

Yes! Good job, guys.

Come on now, spread it out. Defense.

Hands up.

Defense, defense.

Hands up! Hands up.

There you go.

Nice. -BOY: Nice shot!

Spread that floor. There you go.

Spread it out. Move it out.
