Eeeeewwww!! It's gettin' juicy! They have introduced the "inclusion" doctrine into the show. One of the main guys, Judah Swiley, is a cousin of the Paulks. He went to the new (Paulk) church this week on the show and did some rappin before the congregation and talked about how he loved the "inclusive" message.
My take on Swiley is very simple. The words that come out of his mouth, more than anything, have very little to do with loving Jesus, really. However, he does say, "ministry", "my calling", "my destiny", "I can't believe we lost our Church when our dad came out as gay, like what he did for all those years didn't count for anything", "we had a Church of 3,000 people". Can't say for certain it's his fault.....he was raised in ministry and it's really all he knows, but those phrases I just typed literally roll off his tongue all the time, in almost all of the camera interviews. He is really
STUCK on "ministry".
His parents' marriage was a sham because his father is gay and came out a few years ago. From what they have said on the show, his parents had an "understanding" when they did get married. They both knew he was gay, but in order to "succeed" in "ministry", they would have to play like he was straight, and they did for many years. The divorce was in the news.
My absolute favorite on the show is the police office Corey who is also a pastor. The female pastors are ok, but I wouldn't beat the door down to go to their Churches.
I started watching with episode two and it's not breaking new ground, but I only post this because the inclusive doctrine has come up, and seems like it's gonna break open when one of the pastors on the show confronts Judah about his beliefs.
