Adams says Lewis-Martin is “so right” about the fact that church should not be separated from state. “Don’t tell me about no separation of church and state. State is the body, church is the heart. You take the heart out of the body, the body dies,” he says.

Adams just pulled out a sponge on stage and urged the crowd to embrace spirituality and "ring out" their despair. "You will never be who you ought to be if you carry around a saturated sponge of despair, you got to ring it out," he says.
