This isn’t the Giuseppe Colizzi-directed, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer-starring Italian Western Dio perdona… io no!

Nor is it the Rick Ross album.

Instead, this is Janaya Black-directed and written film is the latest Tubi original.

Black was behind Surprise, another Tubi film that I’ve received tons of comments on, one that really got under viewers’ skins. This is a similar film in which a good man gets tested and eventually passes the point of no return, becoming someone that he never dreamed that we could become.

Pastor Pete Dawson (Robert Q. Jackson, A Good Man) has created Purposeful Ministries, a social media way of preaching since the beginning of COVID-19. He doesn’t believe in the prosperity Gospel like so many megachurches, but is instead a very real man that preaches the very real Word of God.

Behind every good man is a good woman, but maybe Pastor Pete has a wife that has bigger dreams — at least of power and notice — than he does. Marcy (Ciarah Amaani) is constantly pushing him to do more with his ministry, which is good in some ways, but there are hints that she wants more out of life than just a minister husband who preaches on a live stream. That said, she’s given Pete a great life up until now as well as his son PJ (DJ Burch).

In order to get their church to the next level, Pete has to turn to his best friend from the streets, Brian Snake Miller (Michael Miles), a former criminal who was assaulted in jail which has changed his entire life. Yet he has the cash they need to create the dream of an actual building for their church.

Throughout the movie, I thought that Marcy and Snake would end up hooking up and that would lead to the image that we saw at the beginning of this movie, one that has Snake dead and Pete standing over his wife, ready to kill her. But no — spoilers on — it’s even crazier. PJ had been having issues with Snake, as he pulled him off the basketball court after seeing how he treated other kids, but maybe that past rape in jail made Snake’s mind snap. Because one day, on a day when Marcy is at her highest because she just learned that her husband is about to work with the famous Bishop Harris (Grover McCants) from Faith and Truth Ministries, she comes home to find Snake’s hand down the pants of her son.

Instead of killing him, she realizes that that would cost the church the money it needs to get started. She makes Brian pay $5,000 a month to her, keep funding Purposeful Ministries and stay away from PJ. And then she makes PJ promise to never tell his father that any of this happened. Man, this movie has gone from basic drama to sheer insanity and that’s why I keep watching Tubi Originals.

The problems start piling up, as PJ keeps flipping out and refuses to play basketball. Marcy starts shopping well beyond the means of Pete, who doesn’t care about clothing or looks. And Pete gets robbed by someone outside the church and beaten.

Pete begins to suspect that his wife is sleeping with Snake, as he finds checks from him to her that she claims are from her 401K. And then Snake buys him a gun after the attack outside the church, which just puts the weapon he needs into his hand. After a day of playing with PJ, he finds himself back at the church and catches his wife and Snake arguing about the new church van that he claims the money was for.

That’s when Pastor Pete busts in with a gun and starts speaking the truth to everyone, screaming at his wife about how everything has been a lie. As he puts a gun in his face, he learns that PJ is not his son and Brian ins the father, which…wow, I did not see coming. This movie brings the insanity and the big time acting!

God Forgives, I Don’t is the kind of movie where a child can gun down his own father with a Colt 45 that has no recoil. In Corinthians‬ ‭10:13, it is written “No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”*

Pastor Pete is finding out just how true that is.

*I wrote that quote before I saw that the movie has it in the credits!

You can watch this on Tubi.
