John Hutchinson: Pastor Barrow

Quotes 

• James Moore : John, I've prayed, I've begged, I've gone to my knees, I've read and re-read the Scriptures until my eyes want to fall off my face and... just nothing. No answers. Nothing.

  Pastor Barrow : But a lot of questions.

  James Moore : It just doesn't make sense.

  Pastor Barrow : What is it that doesn't make sense?

  James Moore : Any of it. Anything. Everything. Everything that's happening in the world. It's... this thing with Travis; this terrible thing that he's done; will somebody, please somebody, somebody explain to me what's going on. John, every day I look around, innocent lives are being destroyed. Wars over differences of... of faith? And children, children, sweet, innocent, young children being taken from us by guns and bullets and brutal acts of nature. And those of us who are supposed to be protecting them, giving them faith, showing them guidance, they commit the most unspeakable acts of all. They all but desecrate His name. Is it any wonder that people are running away from the church? They're abandoning their faith. I know, I know in my heart, I know that He has a reason but for the first time in my life I need to understand here

  [points at his head] 

  James Moore : . I need to understand why He would allow such terrible things. And He won't answer me now. When I need Him, so desperately. When I have... I have given my entire life to Him.

• James Moore : Well, obviously you found your way back.

  Pastor Barrow : Yes, I did. As you will too, James. Have patience. Have faith. God has not forsaken you.
