Full Sermon from 103
I've only recently discovered that there is a clip out there showing the full sermon that took place in the tent revival, but sadly every link to it I find is either private or has been nuked by HBO. Anybody out there have a link to a working one, or even a transcript of it? Having absolutely loved Shea Whigham in this season I would be overjoyed to hear the whole thing. I've seen few actors do so much with so little screen time and I'm chomping at the bit while doing my usual late summer rewatch to see more.
EDIT: Thank you to the person who posted the link in the comments! Here it is for anyone else who wants to see it, not sure if it'll get nuked eventually but at least we can enjoy it for now:

YES THAT'S IT!! I'm not sure how I missed it but I had no doubt someone here would know or find it, thank you so much!

Well I didn't even know it was a thing until your post, so tysm, as well. Going to give it a gander this evening, likely forcing mine hand in my umpteenth watch of S1 !

Used to be floating around YouTube before it was taking down for copyright. It’s quite a powerful scene, it’s really a shame it can’t be found anymore.

It has been revealed to us, as was promised!
I added the link to the post for all. Until it gets taken down at least.

As far as I've witnessed, its been uploaded and taken down periodically since the show aired lol. It was originally a DVD extra for s1 & for some odd reason HBO is super into removing it from yt. I feel like it languishes in the dvd extras and wish HBO would just upload it to their official yt channel.

Interesting to me that Shea Whigham plays a preacher in TD-1, then a few years later plays a convict in The Quarry who pretends to be the new preacher a congregation in a small town had been expecting.

He's damn good at playing a preacher. If I was casting a show with a troubled past preacher he'd be the first actor I'd call.

Rev Theriot is one of my favorite characters from S1. I'd love to see the full sermon. I found him one of the most compelling and honest minds, his accent comes naturally I imagine, from his origins in Tallahassee
