Plot Details Revealed
Season 4 ended with the Greenleafs teaming up against the threat of losing Calvary to Bob Whitmore (Beau Bridges) and Harmony & Hope Ministries. Family secrets were fighting against each other to surface. And with this, the Greenleafs will have to stand against each other too.
According to sources, “In Season Five, The Greenleafs attempt to maintain a united front in the face of losing their church to Bob Whitmore and Harmony and Hope Ministries, but secrets past and present create what could be fatal fractures in the family’s fragile foundation. The Bishop continues working to mend his rift with Lady Mae while, day by day, Harmony and Hope’s grip on Calvary tighten.”
