I will love you oh Lord my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation.
My stronghold.
Dear dear child, what did you see?
Nothing?
Nothing, okay good.
I need you to stay in your room while our guests are here.
No?
Well why not?
I want to be with you.
Baby girl, not tonight.
Give me your hands.
Come on.
Here's your guard dog.
He will watch over you and keep you out of trouble.
I'll be right back.
Mom, help me!
What, I could take all y'all
with one hand behind my back.
Crazy Amy Stronghold.
I've never seen someone rack up so much debt
in so little time.
I own you.
Cut her.
A toothbrush!
You're trying to stab me with a toothbrush.
That's enough.
Back to your cell, now.
Hold up crazy Amy.
Don't call me that.
I'm not crazy.
What would you call trying to fight off your entire pod.
Survival of the fittest.
I was getting ready to march you out of here too.
Now I got to fill out paperwork
and I hate paperwork.
Turn around.
I've known you a long time Amy Stronghold
and I don't think you'd last another day in here.
So I'm gonna forget this little incident ever happened.
Thank you.
This fight you're fighting ain't working.
You're struggling with all these outside forces
when I know the real fight must start from within.
Am I getting through to you?
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
My old friend Amy.
Did you pay your debt to society?
Paid in full, hallelujah.
Did you find religion in God's hotel?
Hell no!
Good!
Hello, Frank.
Hold up.
Come inside.
Drink this.
What were you in for this time?
30 days possession
So you screw up again,
and this time you cost me money.
You're gonna have to work it off.
I came back, didn't I?
What, and you think I should be grateful?
No, I just think maybe you should.
Maybe I should be.
I mean,
would of cost me a few more dead presi's
to hunt you down to settle our score.
Amy Stronghold!
Girl, how I've missed you.
Welcome back to my enchanted forest.
Thank you, thank you for having me.
You look like you could use a drink?
Yes.
Sorry, the place is kind of messy.
I didn't know that I was gonna have visitors.
Ah, who cares?
Thank you so much.
And which scoundrel shall we be cursing today?
Here's to my dad whom I never met.
May he rot from the inside out and die a thousand deaths.
Hello?
Kia?
Mom?
Yes, baby it's me.
Mom, I've been trying to reach you for a month.
I know, baby.
I'm so sorry.
I've been a bit hung up.
Jail, again?
What have you been tracking me?
Hey, there's an app for that.
I want to see you?
I want that too.
So, do you have a place yet?
Are you clean?
Sure, baby.
Not a tent Mom.
A house or an apartment without bullet holes
and a job like the judge said.
I can get one of those.
I want to see you
but you've got to clean yourself up first.
Promise me.
I promise.
I'll get a new place right now
with an extra bedroom just for you.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm turning over a new leaf.
Okay, Mom.
I'll call the agency
so they can come approve your new place.
I'll be ready.
Love you Kia.
Just text me the address when you're moved in.
I will baby, I love you.
Marv, have you been listening to my conversation?
So what are you gonna do?
There's nothing I can do.
She's better off without me.
I think you're wrong, Amy.
You're an amazing person.
You change the atmosphere anywhere you go.
Marv, are you flirting with me because it's working.
I'm just saying
if my daughter wanted to see me again
I'd go through hell or high water to make that happen.
Please knock first Kurt.
My bad.
I just want to invite you to the garage down the street?
No, Kurt.
Come on.
You look beat.
It'll take the edge off.
Leave, now!
Solitaire?
I don't get it, how's this hustle work?
It's not a hustle.
I'm thinking to myself.
Really?
What are you thinking about?
My daughter called me today.
Wait you have a daughter?
She wants me to get off the streets,
but I'm not sure how that's possible right now.
I mean that's
that's what any of us want right?
I mean to get out but you know
I can't be doing this for the rest of my life.
Hey, I got dreams too.
You know, big dreams, little dreams,
medium dreams, all dreams.
You know big businesses, international businesses,
big houses, fast cars.
Nice ride.
It's ours for the day.
And I hear that you still owe Frank money.
And he will kill me if I run.
Well, work with me today
Then you could buy your freedom.
What do I got to do?
Just pretend to be somebody else,
Amy Stronghold. Do you think you can handle that?
Get in.
Alright, here's the game.
We're gonna sell this rental.
And I need your pretty face to be pretty
and take these suckers for all the money that they got.
I'm in.
You look great.
Perfect.
Okay, so
Here's what's happening.
I listed the car for sale at half its value
on twelve different marketplaces
People are going to see it. They're going to be like.
Whoa, this is a great deal.
I can't pass this up.
It's too good to be true. It is.
Okay, that's when the marks will come to you
and just whatever you do. Don't tell them your real name.
- Okay. - Got it?
- Got it. - Good.
Now take this walkie talkie.
It's a baby monitor.
Potato tomato, it doesn't matter.
Just be ready for the stunt baby.
Stunt baby?
Me.
- Got it. - Good.
So why is the price so low?
My husband just got a job in New York City,
company car.
Oh man.
Yeah, uh huh.
Right?
Do you have the title?
My husband took the papers with him when he went to work.
He was called in last minute
and left me to sell the car with the baby.
Oh, there's the baby now it is very urgent
but if you're truly interested,
you could leave a deposit
and I could sell it to you by 6.00 pm.
Great, how much?
Ten percent.
Five percent?
$250 dollars?
Yeah, I could do that.
Perfect.
Mama, mama!
There you go!
Woo!
Since the weapons of our warfare are not worldly
but powerful through God,
for the demolition of strongholds.
We demolish arguments, and every high minded thing
that is raised up against the knowledge of God,
taking every thought captive to obey Christ.
And we're ready to punish any disobedience
once your obedience has been confirmed.
So folks, what's your next step to obedience?
Who's needing to make some changes?
The divine power the Bible is talking about
in Second Corinthians 10 is the Holy Spirit
and you're definitely going to be needing His help
as you take these next steps.
Who needs new places to live?
Ya.
Lord Jesus, I release miracle housing
over my street family right now,
new opportunities and the courage
to take them in Jesus name, Amen.
Who needs snacks?
Hey, brother, can you hand these out real quick?
I'll be right back.
Amy, I just wanted to take a second
and encourage you before I go.
I could use some Chief.
Honey, it's time to make some moves
and get off the streets.
I want to but I made some good money today
and I don't want to let that go.
I'm afraid. I'm comfortable here.
I know this life.
This?
This is not life Amy.
It's your stinking thinking that's keeping you bound here.
God told me he has a new house for you
but you have to want it.
God told you?
Yeah and it's ready
but it's gonna cost you everything.
You got to be all in
but you need to get out of here, now.
I want out.
What's this?
What do you think it is? That's the money I owe you.
What do you think you're doing?
You're a liar and a thief Amy Stronghold.
That may be true, but that money makes me a free woman.
Wait, where do you think you're going?
I'm going to see my daughter.
Nah ah, we still have business to finish.
Well then I guess you're gonna have to shoot me then Frank.
You know what, get out of my tent. I'm going to get dressed.
I'm no longer your property.
Hey? Ahh!
My, my, my!
Amy Stronghold.
Hey Charlie.
Come on.
Let me clean you up.
All finished. There you go.
Wow, Charlie. I barely recognize myself.
How can I pay you back?
Oh, come on, girl. That's what I do.
God has given me a second chance, now He's giving you one.
Amy?
Amy Stronghold.
Wow, you look great.
Thank you Miss Erin.
Your eyes are so bright.
Girl you're making some changes, huh?
Yes ma'am. I am clean. I just got out.
Don't call me ma'am, it makes me feel old.
And if you just got out you must need a place to stay.
Well I would never ask you for-
- Hush, it is decided, you're staying with me.
I have a guest house in the country with two bedrooms
and horses next door.
Doesn't Kia love horses?
Well, I suppose she might like horses-
- Then it's decided.
Do you need new clothes?
All I got is the clothes on my back.
Lets go shopping.
Charlie, I'll have to reschedule.
No problem.
Bye, thank you.
You two have fun
I can't pay for any of this.
Oh hush, you can't get a job without dressing for success.
Miss Erin this is too much.
We can go to the dollar menu or something.
Oh Amy, please enjoy.
It is my pleasure.
Why are you doing this?
No reason.
Please enjoy yourself.
Excuse me?
Yes, I'll have the crab and lobster cakes
with a cup, no, a bowl of the clam chowder
and for lunch I'll have the sirloin steak well done
with mashed potatoes in a large cola.
Those are bottomless right?
Yes, ma'am.
Wow!
Oh my.
Excuse me, Miss Erin.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey, do you want to come to church with me on Sunday?
Um, no, ma'am.
I'm sorry. may ask why?
I don't do the church thing.
Why not?
My mother took me when I was a kid
but it didn't do nothing.
Nobody helped her get out
and she died young because of them.
I'm so sorry, Amy.
The church isn't perfect.
It's made up of flawed
and insensitive people just on their way too
but there's also good people in church.
Good people.
I don't need those good people trying to fix me.
You need a family to speak life into you,
to remind you who you are and what you believe.
Do you think I'm crazy Miss Erin?
Do you think my mind ain't right?
Crazy Amy, that's what they called me in jail
because you know, I can just snap.
You are not crazy Amy.
We all need people in our lives to help us.
No, I don't need any help.
I need to make money as fast as I can legally if possible.
Can I get two grand for my own place from you?
You can stay with me as long as you like.
No.
I don't need any more charity.
I'm done with this.
I need to keep moving.
I got what I needed from ya.
Amy?
Good afternoon, Amy Stronghold.
Good afternoon, Jeeves.
Good luck in there.
Thank you sweetie.
The answer is no, Miss Stronghold.
Tim, you don't even know why I'm here.
You want your old job back.
Well, maybe you do.
Yeah.
Why should I?
Are you even clean?
Been clean for a while now
and I'm willing to work doubles.
Doubles?
Yes, I'm saving for my own place.
You have changed.
Have a seat.
Yes Sir, thank you.
When can I start?
Start huh?
Apparently you never left.
I still have two checks on the books for you.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm writing you a check for $1700 dollars and 63 cents.
Wow.
Don't blow this money Amy.
Are you off the streets?
I am now.
Pick up your uniform,
be here at 5:00 am and Amy?
Mm?
Don't fail me this time.
No, sir. I won't.
Thank you.
Oy!
It's not what you do,
it's how you look doing it.
Mmm huh.
There's cameras everywhere, right?
I suppose.
You got to keep up your outside appearance.
Everybody is working on cleaning up their outside appearance
and no one is cleaning up the garbage on the inside.
That's deep Lucy.
Yeah right?
I should have been a therapist.
Hey, welcome home Amy. You belong here.
I feel like I just won the lottery.
Yeah, I'm doing good too.
I just got back from a vacation to Tahiti.
Tahiti?
How'd you do that?
My man took me.
Man? Is he a drug dealer?
No, of course not.
He's a successful businessman.
Business?
Then why are you cleaning, girl stop lying.
Amy, I enjoy my work.
It keeps me grounded.
Right?
You found a place to live yet?
You could stay at my casita.
Girl stop lyin'.
I'm looking at rentals in the morning.
Oh, in the Canyon?
What's a canyon?
Only the cutest, little, picture perfect neighborhood.
It's exactly what you need for your new working-mom image.
No, I need to keep my expenses low.
I'm looking for an apartment I can afford.
Amy you deserve a place like this.
I want you to have a place like this.
You'll have to lie on your application of course, felon.
What else is new?
I did the crime I paid the time.
Amy Stronghold?
Yes sir.
Well, let's show you the place.
2,040 square feet, three bedroom,
two and a quarter bath, gas fireplace.
All new appliances, new carpeting, no pets.
Landscape maintenance is provided by the HOA
and as you can see it is furnished
It's beautiful.
So what do you think?
I do have another potential renter coming by this afternoon.
I'll take it.
Perfect.
First, last and cleaning deposit are due now
plus we're going to prorate the remaining days this month.
Rent is due on the first of each month.
Do not be late, no exceptions
or you will be evicted.
Understood, Mr. Larry.
Welcome home.
No, no, no!
Help! Help!
No!
Good morning.
Oh I see how it is.
I can't sleep on my own grass.
My, oh my, I haven't made myself breakfast in years.
Eggs, bacon.
Come on, I know this place must have a frying pan.
Forking out first and last months rent.
Oh, here it is.
Thank you, Mr. Larry.
Bacon yum yum bacon yum yum bacon cooking now.
Bacon, bacon, bacon!
Oo bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon
Bacon!
Ow!
Ah, there is a God.
Thank you.
I just poured my coffee.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I'm Josie.
And I'm Sally,
- And we're your neighbors. - And we're your neighbors.
Welcome.
Welcome, I'm Amy Stronghold.
Please come in.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We brought you a gift. It's a merlot.
I hope you indulge sometimes.
Thank you. I do.
You're welcome.
Well, our husbands are now off to work and
with the kids in school, sometimes we like to enjoy a little
- vine time! - vine time!
It's 8:00 am.
Oh Amy.
You can't eat this.
I've got the down line on the smoothie of the month club,
and it'll take you down a dress size-
- Or two.
Uh-huh!
I'll get you signed up.
I've already got your address memorized.
Well, okay.
Oh if you meet Samantha, don't invite her in,
she'll never leave.
And don't park in front of the Johnson house over there.
They'll have you towed.
They're funny like that.
And with your landscaping
before you change any of that that's out there,
make sure that you check
with your homeowners association to get that approved.
We have standards.
I know, I'll sign you up with my personal trainer.
She's amazing.
And so much fun.
Am I right?
Totally!
Amy Stronghold.
So good to meet you.
Thanks for getting me started
on my road to a better me.
My pleasure, Amy.
I want to start somewhere fun
because exercise should be fun.
Am I right?
I hope so.
I haven't worked out since I was a kid
if you can believe it?
Oh, I believe it.
Now step on the trampoline and start bouncing.
Good.
Now bounce.
Let's see what you can do.
A little more.
More yet.
Good, good, now reach up and touch the sky!
That's really sad. She looks like a chicken.
I know. Right?
Oh no.
Now clear your mind.
You are who you believe you are.
Now conquer the ninja obstacle course!
This was a mistake!
You got it!
Keep going, keep going, keep going Amy.
Ahhhh!
Come on.
People throw negativity at you your whole life.
You got to dodge the bad and catch the good.
Yes! We did it!
Yes, we did it!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
You'd thought I would fail!
Ahh!
You're all tied up inside.
Now untie the knots and be free Amy!
Tired!
Looks like, yeah,
I'm actually not going to be able to train you.
I'm sorry.
Wait, what?
Yeah, well, you see, based on my assessment,
you're just too far gone
for my 90 day bounce back program.
Excuse me.
But that's why I called you to get in shape.
I understand that
but my success rate needs to stay in the upper 80s
and I just don't think you want to get healthy.
I do, I do want to get healthy.
Really, Amy?
You want to commit to getting healthy
because you're sucking down that smoothie,
like you're on life support.
Your body's not going to let go of the toxins
until Amy Stronghold changes
the way she believes about herself.
I just don't think you have the power
within yourself to get free.
If Cindy can't help you, no one will.
Yeah.
Maybe you should go home and try a stairmaster.
Or a thighmaster.
What is this junior high?
All right, remember what we talked about.
Put your hand up high.
Bring it all the way through, focus and follow through.
Are you ready to break fear?
Do you believe you can break fear?
Say I believe I can break fear.
I believe I can break fear.
- Now break fear. - You got this.
All right, nice job.
Can I try.
Of course, step right up.
Today we're gonna break rejection.
All right, you saw how she did it.
Reach up high for power.
Bring it all the way through.
Focus, follow through.
Do you believe you can break rejection?
Yes.
Say, I believe I can break rejection
I believe I can break-
- Now break rejection.
What is it made out of, steel?
You might as well still be homeless
until you host a party at your new place.
I don't think so Lucy.
I'm not in the mood
Don't be a loser.
Just your closest friends please.
All I want is a night to myself.
Right.
90 day bounce back program.
I'll show you how I bounce back.
Worth it.
Stupid Amy.
Crazy Amy.
Boozer
I hate you.
Runner, all you do is run away.
Could've been off the streets with your daughter.
Wow, crazy Amy.
You're a piece of work.
Maybe you'd be better off
dead.
I wouldn't be able to pull that off.
Where would I find a gun or some rope?
No, drugs drugs.
I need to find some drugs.
Just drift off.
No, no, Amy.
You really messed up Kia's life.
Why did I even give her this address?
Maybe I should move before she gets here.
Why would you even want to see me again?
She probably wants my money.
Yep, she wants my money.
Freeloader!
Just want to get a ride from good old mom, crazy Amy.
Yeah!
Maybe I am crazy.
Let 'em all come.
I don't care anymore.
Lucy?
Amy Stronghold.
Oh, you look so depressed today.
I thought I'd come over and cheer you up.
Oh, I invited a few of your friends. Hope you don't mind.
Surprise!
I do mind Lucy. Please leave.
Everyone looks like they're important here.
Hey Amy, how are you doing?
You invited, Frank he's trying to kill me.
Amy you're so dramatic.
He just wanted to see your new place.
Marv, Marv!
You've been working really hard, Amy Stronghold.
Not, not this hard, obviously.
One drink, that's it.
One?
That's, that's one drink in there?
You deserve it.
Whoa!
Where did it go?
I wasn't supposed to sneeze.
What can I say!
That's why I went to Tahiti.
Ohhhh
How may I help you?
Mom, it's me Kia.
Miss Stronghold, I'm here to see your new home
and to make sure it meets the state's requirements for Kia.
Kia of course.
Come on baby, let me give you a hug.
I can see we've come at a bad time.
Kia?
I told you to clean yourself up if you wanted to see me.
I did, I did! Look at this house, look
how beautiful this house is.
Just come inside.
I did exactly as you asked.
New hair, new clothes,
I'm working out, I'm eating healthy,
I got a job, and a house without bullet holes.
Okay, you're welcome Kia Stronghold.
Now, get your bags and get inside.
I'm not coming inside.
You're high.
I'm not.
It's secondhand smoke.
Now, come inside and have a drink with me.
I don't drink.
Okay, I'm not like you.
I will try to get these people to leave.
Okay, I've tried and I can't get them to leave me alone.
I can't trust you.
Mom, okay, you're breaking my heart.
Okay.
Just come inside.
Don't touch me.
You called the cops on me again?
I did, Miss Stronghold.
You've clearly broken your probation.
You've disturbed the peace
and you are unfit to care for Kia.
Amy Stronghold, you didn't listen to a word I said.
Hang in there and time will fly.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe in here.
That's not how this place is supposed to work.
I'll do better.
You don't owe me nothing.
I can take care of myself.
Andre, are you lost?
Can I help you get home?
Amy Stronghold!
Yes, it's me.
Did you find religion in God's hotel?
Amy Stronghold, in the flesh.
I just can't shake you guys.
Have a seat, now.
Dude, Frank relax man like we're guests in her house.
What happened to your face?
A welcome home present.
Want me to do something about it?
No, Frank, I can take care of myself.
That doesn't seem to be true.
So who called the cops?
Busted by my own daughter.
Ouch!
The one who called you?
My own flesh and blood.
So what are you going to do now?
Same thing I've been doing, beats, tent city or jail.
What's that?
Working at the Boardwalk,
paying rent in suburbia.
Kia has always been better off without me in her life.
So cut her loose then.
You're better off without her.
Now get the hell out of my house!
Amy, relax.
All right, we're here to work with you.
We're setting up shop here.
This is a great neighborhood.
These people actually have money.
Props to you for getting out of the slums too.
Very nice job.
And yet here you are.
Yeah, we're here
because we made an agreement with, Amy Stronghold.
You're the best hustler in town
and when I told Frank how fast we made out
with that last score with the car.
He wanted in.
Of course he did.
He can't do anything without me.
You know what.
What are you doing?
I'm calling the police.
What?
My daughter was at my doorstep ready to come home
and all I had was an empty bottle of merlot
and a half eaten carton of ice cream.
And you all showed up and ruined everything.
I'm going to turn you guys in
and confess to every hustle we ever did together.
And you'll go to jail too.
And I'm happy to do so
if that means shaking you guys off my tail.
All right.
See you around,
Amy Stronghold.
- Amy Stronghold. - Amy Stronghold.
You two.
What do you want?
Well, we enjoyed your little housewarming party
the other night.
But it went a little long.
10:00 pm is quiet hours.
So we let your landlord know.
You have some very interesting friends, Amy.
They said they were house sitting
while you were away at jail.
But I think they were doing something illegal.
I was afraid for my life.
And our children.
We have a neighborhood watch.
And we've been watching you, Amy.
I hope that's okay.
And we can still be friends.
Of course, what are you trying to say?
You're not welcome here.
You just don't fit in it.
I've missed you so much.
Hey, Lucy.
Thank you for covering for me.
No worries.
I told them that your dad died
and that you had to make the funeral arrangements.
I don't think I would even be notified if my dad died
and if I was told about the funeral,
they better not let me hold the mic,
you know what I'm saying?
Tim totally bought it anyway.
You! Come here.
What happened to your face?
I fell down the stairs.
How was the funeral?
Pretty good as far as funerals are concerned.
Don't lie to me, Amy.
Okay, fine.
The funeral was pretty lame.
That was your last chance to be clean with me.
Tell me the truth.
I can't have anybody working on my staff
who doesn't tell me the truth to my face.
I just got off the phone with your parole officer.
What?
Turn in your uniform,
turn in your locker key
and here.
It's your last paycheck.
Don't lose it when you go moving this time.
I'm not even mad at you.
I'm mad at me.
I failed.
I failed by trusting you.
It's clear to me, I'm not the one who can help fix you, Amy.
Good luck in finding somebody who will.
Mr. Larry, what are you doing in my house?
It's not your house
and you have three days to get out.
Kia, please give me your cell phone.
Kia, we are concerned about your interactions
with, Miss Stronghold.
No.
Kia.
We can call your mom with my phone for now
if you want to talk with her.
No, okay, it's my phone and my mom.
Who's that?
Speak of the devil, it's Amy Stronghold!
Don't answer.
She's been constantly calling her.
We need to file a restraining order against Amy.
I don't want her interacting with Kia right now.
Her house was a disaster.
She's trying okay.
She has a job doesn't she?
And a house.
Isn't that what you said she needed.
She's not safe.
Play the voicemail.
Kia, Kia are you there?
Pick up baby.
Someone was in my house and I'm freaking out.
I don't feel safe.
What's that?
I feel like something's still here, messing with me,
tormenting me.
I feel imprisoned.
My wrists hurt baby
Get out, get out.
It's okay, I'm fine.
Don't call the police on me again.
I just need I just need help.
I don't know, why don't you call me in the first place.
You called me honey.
I'm right here.
Hello.
Hello, this is Amy, Amy Stronghold.
Drunk.
I'm done with her.
File the restraining order.
The state representing Kia Stronghold,
daughter of Amy Stronghold is requesting
a permanent restraining order be placed
upon her mother Amy Stronghold
for psychological damage.
Psychological damage?
Are you kidding me?
I did the best I could raising you child
with my own psychological damage.
I got you off the streets, didn't I?
That's enough, Miss Stronghold.
You'll be able to defend yourself later.
Now please take a seat.
All I wanted was for us to live in a house together,
in a safe neighborhood riding bikes,
celebrating Christmas, making memories
and every time that was about to happen
with my foster family, Amy would contact me
and take me from them and pull me back
in the gutter with her.
That is until the police picked her up again
and I'd have to start over in another foster family.
Amy, would you like
to share your side of the story?
My side.
My side of the story.
Let me tell you my side of the story, Kia Stronghold.
My mother had to live like this
and her mother had it even worse.
And the stories I've heard
about your great grandmother
would make your life look like a musical.
You have no idea about the Stronghold curse, girl.
You're the only one who's made it out.
I'm not out mother.
I'm just as trapped as you are
and no one will help me, not even you.
You need help, I'll give you all I've got.
I don't need you telling me
to stay away from my daughter.
I can't get rid of her.
She contacted me.
I haven't seen her in months.
I should get a restraining order on her for harassment
and psychological damage.
In fact, I would like to do that judge.
How do I file a restraining order against Kia Stronghold?
That won't be necessary.
It seems we have mutual consent.
Both parties agree to not contact one another
for a period of one year
or until you both agree to end this dispute
and start acting like mother and daughter.
Mother and daughter.
Kia is no longer my daughter
because a daughter wouldn't act like this to her mother.
Oh, Amy Stronghold, stop!
Don't call me Amy Stronghold.
I am your mother.
You show me some respect.
You know what you need, you need a whooping.
Officer restrain Miss Stronghold.
Don't fight me.
Come on Amy, you need to cool down, let's get you in seg.
I'm leaving tonight.
I just want to say goodbye
and I'm sorry about your mom.
It's for the best.
Are you running?
It's a business opportunity.
Wanna come?
Oh Lord.
My, my-
Strength.
Lord my-
- Rock, your fortress and your deliverer.
Jesus?
No, no, no.
You're not real.
You abandoned me when I was a child.
You left my mother and I.
When did I leave you, Amy?
You don't remember.
When that man killed my mother
and tried to hurt me?
I remember, do you?
I'll be right back.
Mom, help me!
Don't you touch her!
I got you kid.
I never left you or your mother
and I never let that man harm you.
My shield,
the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Yes.
You belong to me, Amy Stronghold.
But what about my mother?
Your mother is with me now.
She is safe.
I gave her many opportunities
to break this generational curse off of your family.
She chose not to.
Now it's up to you.
Me?
But how?
All of your questions will be answered Amy.
I'm sending my friends to help you.
Follow them.
Who?
Promise me you'll follow them.
Good.
They will lead you out of this prison.
Listen to them,
do as they say.
I want you to go home,
go to church,
and renew your mind.
We're having church tonight.
You want to go?
Yes, yes sir.
All right then let's go.
Hi.
Welcome.
It's good to see you.
Amy.
Chief.
Oh, my goodness.
It's so good to see you.
I'm excited you're coming to church tonight.
I'm excited too.
Let's go.
Good evening, ladies.
Welcome to Crazy Faith Nisqually Jail Church.
My name is Ben Charles Jr.
from the lower Elwha Klallam Tribe
way up north in Port Angeles
but I grew up right here in Nisqually.
Most people call me Chief.
My wife Denise and I,
we started Crazy Faith Outreach 15 years ago.
We believe God uses the least likely for the Almighty.
We go to the streets, rez, jails,
maybe a lot of different places
others don't feel as called to
but we simply go meet people where they're at
and love the hell out of them.
That's our big secret.
We're a church without walls.
Well, I mean, there are a couple of walls here,
if you know what I mean.
But there are a lot of people
that have been hurt by the church
and I'm here to ask you for forgiveness.
The people of the church,
they're no different than you or I.
They're sinners saved by grace.
Can you forgive me for letting you down?
Awesome, thank you.
People ask me often about all my different tattoos
and here's the awesome thing,
90% of all my tattoos I got
after I was rolling heavy with God.
And I prayed about every single one of them
before I got it.
My job is to love people, re-instill hope,
and with love and hope, there's freedom.
I got this to remind me.
Has anyone ever been called stubborn or bullheaded?
Yeah.
I don't like those words, though.
I think they're negative words
and when people call us that,
we start to rise up to that occasion.
I don't think it's very healthy.
So I want to give you new words.
How about this?
Determined and relentless.
I believe in it so much, I put it right on my arm.
God loves it, that we're determined and relentless.
When He sees us the way we are,
when we decide to make that transition
and come back to Him, He goes, yes, look at them.
They're so determined and relentless
at everything they do.
This is my armor.
Ladies, we got to put on the full armor
of God every single day.
It's so important.
This with the skull with the cross on the back,
pretty important to me.
It means death to my past.
It's always behind me.
That's where we need to keep it
because we're going this way, ladies.
We're moving forward
and when God sees us
and He knows that we're making moves to be all in,
we're unstoppable.
As I said before God uses the least likely for the Almighty.
Who here feels like they've done too much
for God to ever use?
Well, I'm here to tell you today Acts 26:18 is for you.
It's about Paul getting commissioned by Jesus,
on his way to do a crime.
You see Paul didn't wait for himself to get all cleaned up
before he came back home.
He had an encounter with God right there on that road
and it changed him forever.
You are perfectly qualified for God to use
in an awesome way, right now.
Now isn't that crazy faith?
Okay, so you can say this prayer with me,
you can save it for later
or you can just come into agreement with it
but it's a really easy prayer.
Here it is.
Hey, God.
Forgive me.
Help me not to do-
- Help me not to do.
The things that don't make you happy.
Or I'm just gonna keep on doing them.
I don't know what you see in my life.
But you see something.
So you can take it.
Do whatever you want.
Thanks for sending your son.
I'm all in.
Amen.
Are you all in, Honey?
I am.
I love you and I'm proud of you.
What's next?
Home.
Did you find religion in God's hotel?
I am crazy, I'm losing my mind.
Amy?
Amy Stronghold?
Amy, is that really you?
Oh, Sara.
Please help me.
My daughter.
My daughter Kia told me to clean myself up
if I ever wanted to see her again.
I got off the streets, new hair, new clothes,
new job, new house but it only made things worse.
Now, I've lost her forever.
But, Jesus, finally got through to me
when I was in isolation.
He showed me he never left me
and I gave my life back to him.
He told me to come home, so I did,
but it didn't do any good.
I'm so tormented by my past.
They won't let me go.
Amy Stronghold.
Don't call me that.
I hate my name.
That's because you don't know what your name means.
Crazy Amy Stronghold, the schizo.
Amy means dearly loved
and you are so loved.
I don't believe it.
Stronghold is what you believe.
Your beliefs will keep you in bondage or keep you free.
It's up to you.
Amy, you've been fighting the wrong fight.
You've been trying to fight the physical fight outside
to get free but this fight must be fought from within
and it starts by making Jesus Christ,
your Lord and Savior
but it doesn't end there.
That's only the beginning.
You must renew your mind.
But how?
How do I renew my mind?
Did you hear that?
You mean that party you brought with you?
Unfortunately, I'm graced with the spiritual gift
of discernment.
Discernment?
It's a gift, Beth.
Gifts can be returned.
Shut the hell up!
I'll be with you in a minute.
Pastor Beth.
They think they're so important, but they're not.
They're just a bunch of dogs.
We would like to help you, Amy.
What you need is deliverance.
I would like that.
How do we begin?
With worship.
I love you, Jesus.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
Give it all to Him.
Hold nothing back.
Listen up you devils.
You are coming into my house.
There will be no pushing, shoving, spitting, burping,
or vomiting on my nice clean floors that I just washed.
There'll be no manifestations of any kind in my house
and you will speak only if spoken to.
I am a daughter of the living God bought and paid for
by the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
The accusers may enter.
You got some serious issues, Amy Stronghold.
Beth?
Be kind.
What's wrong with you?
This is crazy, impossible.
How can God fix me?
There's too many hurts.
You have a choice, Amy.
You must choose to live every day
in relationship with Jesus.
That means talking with him daily.
That's, that's all prayer is,
choosing to confess your sins to Him
and accepting His forgiveness
and also choosing to forgive others.
The key to deliverance, it's forgiveness.
In jail, Jesus told me my mom had a choice
to be free too and she chose not to take it.
Let's start with your mother.
My mom?
Are you ready to forgive your mother?
No way.
That's too much too soon.
I'll just do the drive thru deliverance service
so I can see my daughter again.
Just a patch job, I'll be back.
I'll be back every Sunday.
Let's start today.
Close your eyes and focus.
Just start by saying the words,
I choose to forgive you Mom.
I choose.
I choose to forgive you, Mom.
Mom?
Yes Amy, I'm here.
I forgive you, Mom.
I choose to forgive you for chaining me to my bed.
I forgive you for leaving me after you died.
I forgive you, Mom.
I love you.
Thank you.
This is for you.
I love you.
I love you, Amy
and I'm proud of you,
so proud.
I love you too, Mom.
How do you feel?
Wow.
Are you ready to tackle another one?
Yes.
Where do we start?
I have so many haunting me.
We'll just ask Holy Spirit what He wants to heal tonight.
How does that sound?
That sounds like a good plan.
All right, close your eyes.
Now, ask Holy Spirit,
what lies you are believing
that are keeping you imprisoned.
Holy Spirit, show me the lies I'm believing.
You're better off dead.
That's a lie from the pit of hell.
She wants you to agree with her.
She wants you dead, Amy, so you need to speak life.
That's not true.
I'm better off alive, fully alive.
My God died for me to give me life, a super abundant life,
a life full of adventure.
I'm not done living yet.
Kia needs me.
I need me.
The Lord is not done with me yet.
Do you hear me?
I have a future so stop lying to me.
Now talk to Jesus about it.
Jesus,
thank you for valuing my life,
even when I did not.
Only because of who you are
and your will in my life did I make it.
Forgive me for planning
and attempting suicide.
I am so sorry.
I do have value and purpose.
I want to live Jesus.
I want to live.
I receive your forgiveness.
I receive.
I am your daughter.
Sometimes we get tired in this life,
So tired.
But you know what?
God chose you
and he put the strength in you to beat back suicide.
He loves you so much
and he has wonderful plans for your life.
Do you believe that?
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Well
Let's tackle another lie.
Did you find religion in God's hotel, Amy Stronghold?
Hell no.
Good.
I didn't find religion.
I found relationship.
I found life in God's hotel.
No, actually He found me.
Crazy Amy Stronghold, I own you.
Not anymore.
I've been bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus.
My debt is paid in full.
Now move along.
I am no longer intimidated by you.
You're the best hustler in town.
We had an agreement, Amy Stronghold.
I'm breaking that agreement.
I'm sorry I made it.
I hustle for God now.
I'm going to talk people into the Kingdom
instead of talking people out of their money.
Now get!
Cut her loose then.
You're better off without her.
My daughter is no longer your concern.
I'll never stop pursuing her.
You failed me, Miss Stronghold.
I'm sorry, Mr. Tim.
I don't blame you.
I take full responsibility for lying.
I've missed you so much.
You're not a good friend, Lucy.
I need to let you go.
- You're not welcome here. - You're not welcome here.
- Amy Stronghold. - Amy Stronghold.
Girlfriend, you're not allowed to tell me where I belong.
You dish out the hate I'm gonna dish out love.
You're all beautiful, but you're not my mirror.
I've got to be me for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made.
You're just too far gone.
I'm never too far gone for Jesus.
Mm Mm.
Is there any more?
That's enough for today.
Well done.
Deliverance is a lifestyle.
Keep your list of offenses short
and continue to forgive others
and you will live free, Amy.
Jesus, wait.
I hated you for years after Jonathan died.
I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
Jonathan?
Is that you, baby?
It's me love.
Kia's dad died when she was a baby
and it spiraled me to hell.
I was so afraid after he died,
afraid of everything.
Amy, what do you fear?
Get out.
You have three days to get out.
Tell me what you fear.
No!
Ask the Lord where fear first took root in your life.
It would have cost me a few dead pres's to hunt you down.
I fear.
I fear death.
Amy, Amy listen to me.
I want you to get out of that dungeon.
I want you to imagine a safe place.
A place you felt safe as a child.
There was no safe place.
Amy, I want you to find the eyes of Jesus.
Find Jesus.
Do you see Him?
Yes.
Ask Him where your fear began.
Jesus, show me where my fear began.
I don't know you.
I hope you rot from the inside out
and die 1000 deaths.
It's her father.
I need James.
Get James now.
I need you to give her the Father's blessing.
So Amy, what do you remember about your father?
Nothing.
Mama told me she had to leave him
because he wanted to abort me.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Amy.
Now, I'm going to come before you as your father.
I'm also going to represent every man
that has ever tried to use you, abuse you
and take advantage of you,
all of your mother's boyfriends, your foster dads,
ex-bosses, any man that's brought fear into your life.
Understand?
So I ask you, Amy, representing every man
that has tried to destroy you,
those who tried to steal who you were,
those that stole your innocence,
those that stole your identity,
those that stole your value and your worth,
I ask you, to forgive me.
I do forgive you, I do.
Thank you.
Father God, right now I release your blessing upon Amy.
You are her Heavenly Father.
You knit her together carefully in her mother's womb,
you have plans for her life,
you have given destiny and inheritance
as a daughter of God.
Father God, you love Amy Stronghold.
You made her beautiful.
You are so very proud of her.
She belongs to you.
So I ask you begin to pour out Your Holy Spirit upon her,
fill her with power so she can withstand every attack
of the enemy and live free.
Amen.
Hallelujah!
You lit a flame in me that wasn't there before.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Woohoo!
I'm going to anoint you with oil now, okay?
Okay.
Now if you could see in the spirit,
you would see a bowl of warm oil
and I'm gonna pour it and you're gonna feel it all over you.
It's gonna run off your arms and off your fingers
and into your heart.
It's going to cover you, okay?
Are you ready?
Yes.
All over Lord, cover her
off of her fingers, off of her toes all over, all over.
Thank you, Jesus.
Cover her with peace,
cover her with joy,
cover her with prosperity and good health,
cover her with wisdom and discernment Lord,
cover her with your protection, Holy Spirit.
Thank you, Jesus.
I'm feeling that tingling in my toes.
Wow!
That love is just.
It's been a long journey.
It's been a hard journey.
Kia?
Oh Kia, I found you.
Come on let's get out of here.
I can't go with you.
Not until you get me out of these.
I'm so sorry Kia, I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Mom how did you find me?
I used the tracking app you put on my phone.
After I got cleaned up I went looking for you
and they told me that you ran away
and they never told me baby,
they never told me until I went out looking for you.
I'm your family.
I will break this curse on the Stronghold family.
How?
Jesus is my Stronghold now
and in whom shall I be afraid.
Jesus?
He saved me, He delivered me, He got me a new job.
I have a house in the country
and the neighbors of horses.
Horses?
Can we ride them?
Sure, sure as soon as we get out of here.
Mom, I do forgive you.
I love you Kia, I love you.
I love you too, Mom.
You're not going anywhere, Kia Stronghold.
I own you.
Not anymore.
