4. And God Created Van

The Hart family becomes concerned when Van continuously sits at home watching football instead of attending church. After many failed attempts in talking him into going, Reba and Barbra Jean confront him on his refusal. Van confesses that he no longer believes in God, mostly because he had to leave football, greatly disappointing Reba and Barbra Jean. To try to bring Van to God, they drag him to Reverend Parks ( Patrick Fabian ), who tells Reba and Barbra Jean that he can't help the people who don't want help. Reba in a heated discussion finally admits to the Reverend that she too had her doubts after Brock left her to marry a then pregnant Barbra Jean and Cheyenne getting pregnant in high school then marrying Van since the life that she had once known was over. In the end, Barbra Jean thinks Reverend Parks is hitting on her even after he admits he finds Reba attractive. Absent: Scarlett Pomers as Kyra Hart
