UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
WITH GOVERNOR MIKE PENTS.
I PRAY OFTEN.
PLUS A WIFE AND MOM LEADS
A DOUBLE LIFE.
AT NIGHT, I WOULD BE A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
PERSON.
UNTIL SHE GETS BUSTED.
I WAS SO DISGUSTED WITH
MYSELF.
I POPPED A BOTTLE OF ZAN
ZANEX.
AND I GOT UP THE COURAGE
AND TOLD MY MOTHER, AND SHE
WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME.
PLUS, JOSH MCDOWELL TELLS
THE SECRET HE HID FOR 50
YEARS.
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
FOLKS.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT PROGRAM
TODAY.
DO YOU GET UPSET ABOUT THE
RELEASE OF THIS PRISONER?
DOES THAT RING YOUR BELL AT
ALL?
Wendy: I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION.
DID HE REALLY DESERT HIS
PEOPLE?
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
SAYING HE WAS A BAD GUY.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A
LITTLE MORE INFO.
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT GENERAL
DEMOCRACY SAYS.
LET'S NOT CONVICT SOMEBODY
UNTIL -- HE IS INNOCENT
UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, BUT
THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF
STOP COMING OUT.
AMERICANS AND DEMANDING
ANSWERS, AND LAWMAKERS ARE
FUMING.
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY OBAMA
SURRENDERED TOP TALIBAN
LEADERS TO RESCUE ONE
QUESTIONABLE P.O.W. LEADER.
Wendy: THE WHITE HOUSE
HAS CALLED BOWE BERGDAHL A
HERO, BUT HIS FELLOW
SOLDIERS ARE CALLING HIM A
DESERTER.
GEORGE THOMAS HAS THE
LATEST.
George: A NEW VIDEO
RELEASED BY THE TALIBAN
SHOWS A CLEAN-SHAVEN
BERGDAHL SITTING IN A PICKUP
TRUCK.
MOMENTS LATER A BLACKHAWK
HELICOPTER LANDS, AND HE IS
HANDED OVER.
THE EXCHANGE IS MADE AS
DOZENS OF FIGHTERS ARE ARMED
WATCH BY A HILLSIDE.
BERGDAHL'S RELEASE HAS
SPARKED A HUGE CONTROVERSY
WITH HIS FORMER SOLDIERS,
ACCUSING HIM OF DESERTING
AND PUTTING AMERICAN LIVES
AT RISK.
I FEEL LIKE HE DESERTED
US.
HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING
WHEN HE DESERTED US.
IT WAS PREMEDITATED.
IT WAS THOUGHT OUT.
George: FELLOW SOLDIERS
SAID THE 24-YEAR-OLD STARTED
COMPLAINING ABOUT AMERICA'S
ROLE IN AFGHANISTAN, AND
MONTHS INTO HIS DEPLOYMENT,
HE DISAPPEARED FROM HIS
BASE, LEADING HIS BODY ARMY,
HELMET, AND WEAPON BEHIND.
THE U.S. LAUNCHED A MASSIVE
SEARCH, WHICH AMOUNTED TO
DEATHS OF FELLOW SOLDIERS.
PEOPLE CALLING HIM THIS
GREAT SOLDIER, IT IS A SPIT
IN THE FACE TO THEç SOLDIERS
WHO DIED AS Aç DIRECT RESULT
TO HIM LEAVING.
George: THE ARMY SAYS
THEY WILL REVIEW HIS CASE TO
SEE IF ANY MISCONDUCT
OCCURRED.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO HOLD
HEARINGS ON WHETHER THE
PRESIDENT BROKE THE LAW BY
NOT CONSULTING CONGRESS ON
THE DEAL TO SWAP A U.S.
PROPOSITION NE PRISONER FOR
FIVE SENIOR TALIBAN
LEADERS.
IT IS ILL-FOUNDED, IT IS
A MISTAKE, AND IT IS PUTTING
THE LIVES OF AMERICAN
SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN AT
RISK.
George: THE PRESIDENT
APPARENTLY TOLD THE SENATE'S
TOP DEMOCRAT, HARRY REID,
THAT THE EXCHANGE WAS
EMINENT.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN EITHER THE
DAY BEFORE OR THE DAY OF.
I DON'T REMEMBER FOR SURE,
REID TOLD POLITICAL.
BUT STILL SOME DEMOCRATS ARE
UPSET ABOUT HOW IT ALL WENT
DOWN.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE WE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSULTED.
George: BERGDAHL WAS
HELD BY THE TALIBAN FOR FIVE
YEARS.
HE IS NOW IN A MILITARY
HOSPITAL IN GERMANY, AND IS
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE
UNITED STATES LATER THIS
WEEK.
GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.
Pat: FOLKS, THE DEAL
WAS THAT THE VETERANS
ADMINISTRATION SCANDAL WAS
JUST RISING, AND OBAMA WAS
FIGHTING TO PROVE THAT HE
DID SOMETHING.
AND HIS POLL NUMBERS WERE
PLUMMETTING BECAUSE THE
VETERANS WERE GETTING A
LOUSY DEAL.
AND THE HOSPITALS WERE
INEFFICIENT, AND THE ENTIRE
MESS WAS COMING DON O DOWN
ON HIS HEAD.
HOW DOES HE GET OUT OF IT?
HE GETS ONE SOLDIER, AND HE
SAYS, LOOK, I'M FOR
SOLDIERS.
HERE IS THIS STAFF SERGEANT,
AND I'VE GOT HIM FREE.
SO I MADE A LITTLE SWAP FOR
HIM WITHOUT ASKING CONGRESS,
BUT I JUST WANTED TO DO THAT
BECAUSE I'M PRESIDENT, AND
THIS IS THE WAY I LOOK AT
IT.
SO I CONFERRED WITH MYSELF,
AND I SAID I WAS DOING OKAY,
SO MY JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND
MY STAFF AND THE WHITE HOUSE
TOLD ME I COULD GO AHEAD AND
DO IT.
SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO CONSULT
CONGRESS, DEMOCRAT OR
REPUBLICAN, BUT,
NEVERTHELESS, I'M GOING TO
HAVE A ROSE GARDEN CEREMONY,
AND I'M GOING TO SEND SUSAN
RICE TO THE SUNDAY MORNING
SHOWS.
AND SO SHE IS COMING OUT AND
SAYING THIS MAN SERVED
HONORABLY AND WITH
DISTINCTION AND ALL OF THIS
STUFF, AND IT TURNS OUT HE
IS A DESERTER.
SO THEY'VE GOT EGG ALL OVER
THEMSELVES, BUT IT WAS A
POLITICAL MOVE.
EVERYTHING HE DOES IS
POLITICAL.
UGH!
DOESN'T IT MAKE YOU SICK.
Wendy: HOW DO YOU
REALLY FEEL?
Pat: YOU KNOW I'M SO
LEVEL-HEADED ABOUT IT ALL.
A NEW REPORT SHOWS MORE
WIDESPREAD FAILURE IN
AMERICA'S VETERANS'
HOSPITALS.
AND NOW THE REPUBLICANS HAVE
A PLAN TO GIVE VETERANS
HEALTH CARE FREEDOM.
JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE.
HERE IS MORE.
Reporter: PAT,
REPUBLICANS PROPOSED A BILL
TO GUARANTEE VETERANS WILL
GET THE MEDICAL CARE THEY
NEED.
THE BILL, DRAFTED BY FOUR
G.O.P. SENATORS WOULD ALLOW
VETERANS TO SEE A PRIVATE
DOCTOR IF THEY'RE FORCED TO
WAIT TOO LONG FOR AN
APPOINTMENT AT THE V.A.
MEANWHILE, THE FEDERAL
INVESTIGATION INTO THE V.A.
STAND HAS EXPOSED MORE
ABUSE.
IN ADDITION TO THE SCANDAL
SURROUNDING THE PHOENIX
HOSPITAL, INVESTIGATORS
UNCOVERED SECRET WAITING
LISTS IN SIX OTHER STATES,
INCLUDING KANSAS, MISSOURI,
AND ILLINOIS.
OVER 100 VETERANS THERE
WAITED FOR APPOINTMENTS FOR
MORE THAN 90 DAYS.
A MAJOR HOSPITAL IN
TENNESSEE HAS LAID OFF MORE
THAN A THOUSAND WORKERS
BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE.
VANDAVANDERBILT HOSPITAL
TOOK THAT STEP AFTER A HALF
MILLION DROP AFTER THE NEW
LAW.
AND NOW THEY'RE EXPECTING A
$250 MILLION DECLINE OVER
THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
SO NOW THE HOSPITAL IS
TAKING OTHER DRASTIC STEPS,
DECREASING PAY AND BENEFITS
TO PRESERVE 2,000 OTHER
POSITIONS.
WELL, EXTREME WEATHER
BATTERED STATES ACROSS THE
MIDWEST ON TUESDAY.
TORRENTIAL RAINS, HIGH
WINDS, AND SEVERAL TORNADOES
WERE REPORTED IN IOWA AND
NEBRASKA.
85 MILES PER HOUR WINDS
UPROOTED TREES, TORE UP
ROOFS AND KNOCKED OVER
TRACTOR-TRAILERS.
IN OMAHA, NEARLY FOUR INCHES
OF RAIN TRIGGERED
EVACUATIONS.
HAIL SMASHED THROUGH CAR
WINDSHIELDS.
THE SEVERE WEATHER ARRIVED
DURING AN UNUSUALLY QUIET
SPRING WITH FAR FEWER
TORNADOES MARKED THAN IN
PREVIOUS YEARS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HELD A
MEETING WITH THE NEW
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE.
PETRO POROSHENKO WAS ELECTED
JUST 10 DAYS AGO.
THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY IS
STEPPING UP ITS OFFENSIVE.
TROOPS BROKE THROUGH THE
REBEL-HELD CITIES.
THE OFFICIALS ARE WARNING
RESIDENTS IN THE CITY AND
THE SURROUNDING AREAS TO
STAY AT HOME WHILE THEY
FIGHT THE INSURGENTS.
THAT WARNING COMES AS A
CHRISTIAN ORPHANAGE WAS
ATTACKED BY PRO-RUSSIAN
INSURGENTS.
THE CENTER IS PARTIALLY
SUPPORTED BY CBN NEWS'
"ORPHANS' PROMISE." NO
CHILDREN WERE HURT IN THE
ATTACK.
BUT "ORPHANS' PROMISE" HAS
MOVED ALL OF THE KIDS TO A
SAFE PLACE IN WESTERN
UKRAINE.
IN NIGERIA, 10 TOP MILITARY
OFFICERS WERE FOUND GUILTY
OF HELPING BOKO HARAM BY
PROVIDING THEM WITH WEAPONS
AND INFORMATION.
THE INFORMATION CAME MONTHS
AFTER POLITICIANS AND
SOLDIERS ACCUSED SOME SENIOR
OFFICERS OF AIDING THE
GROUP.
SECRET INFORMATION PROVIDED
BY THE OFFICERS HELPED
INSURGENTS AMBUSH MILITARY
CONVOYS AND ATTACK ARMY
BARRACKS.
AND SOME REPORTS SAY SOME
SOLDIERS FAULT WIT SOLDIERS
FOUGHT WITH INSURGENTS
DURING THE ATTACKS AND THEN
RETURNED TO ARMY CAMPS.
IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A
MONTH AND THE 200 GIRLS ARE
STILL BEING HELD AGAINST
BOKO HARAM.
GARY LANE HAS THE STORY OF
ONE NIGERIAN SCHOOL GIRL WHO
OVERCAME A MURDEROUS ASSAULT
ON HER FAMILY.
Reporter: DEBRA PETERS
PLAYED WITH SOME OF THE 276
SCHOOL GIRLS KIDNAPPED BY
THE BOKO HARAM TERROR
GROUP.
SHE SAYS HER MOTHER ONCE
ATTENDED THE SAME SCHOOL
WHERE THE GIRLS WERE
KIDNAPPED.
DEBRA HAS EXPERIENCED HER
OWN HORRORS BY THE BOKO
HARAM.
ONE NIGHT JUST BEFORE
CHRISTMAS, SHE WATCHED AS
THREE GUNMAN ENTERED HER
HOUSE AND KILLED HER FATHER
BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO
DENOUNCE JESUS CHRIST.
AND THEY ALSO KILLED HER
BROTHER.
WHEN HE FOUGHT, HE
STARTED MOVING, AND SO THEY
GO AHEAD AND SHOOT HIM
AGAIN.
ONCE AGAIN IN HIS MOUTH, AND
HE FALL DOWN AND DIED.
SO I WAS -- I WAS IN SHOCK.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS
HAPPENING.
Reporter: DEBRA'S
MOTHER, A FORMER MUSLIM, WAS
AWAY FROM HOME AT THE TIME.
SHORTLY AFTER AMERICAN
CHILDREN OF 9/11 VICTIMS
INVITED DEBRA TO ATTEND A
CAMP IN THE U.S.
WHILE SHE SURVIVED A TERROR
ATTACK, SHE COULD NOT MAKE
IT THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
IT TWICE DENIED HER
REQUEST.
THE REASON SHE WAS DENIED
A VISA WAS BECAUSE THEY SAID
TO HER -- YOU CAN'T MAKE
THIS STUFF UP -- THEY SAID
TO HER, YOU DON'T HAVE
FAMILY TIES.
THEY ESSENTIALLY
RETRAUMATIZED A GIRL WHO'S
FAMILY WAS EXTERMINATED BY
TERRORISTS.
Reporter: SHE MADE IT
CLEAR WHY BOKO HARAM
TARGETED HER FAMILY.
IN IRAN, THEY SAY ANY
MUSLIM WHO DOESN'T RETURN IS
DEAD.
THEY DID ALL OF THIS BECAUSE
OF HER.
Reporter: YOU THINK IF
YOUR MOTHER HAD BEEN HOME,
THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED HER
AS WELL?
YES.
BECAUSE THEY WERE TARGETED
EVEN NOW.
THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HER.
IF THEY SEE HER, THEY WILL
KILL HER.
Reporter: WHY DID THEY
KILL YOUR FATHER?
BECAUSE, NUMBER ONE, HE
IS A PASTOR.
AND THE SECOND ONE, HE
MARRIED MY MOTHER -- WHEN HE
MARRIED MY MOTHER, HE TURNED
MY MOTHER TO A CHRISTIAN.
SO THEY WERE ANGRY WITH
HIM.
Reporter: HAD YOUR
FATHER LED OTHER MUSLIMS TO
CHRISTIANITY?
YEAH.
Reporter: AGEPE
SUGGESTS WORLD LEADERS TAKE
A MORE AGGRESSIVE RESPONSE
TO STOP BOKO HARAM.
LET'S SNUFF THEM OUT
NOW.
THEY NOW KNOW WHAT WILL GET
OUR ATTENTION, AND THEY'RE
GOING TO KEEP, YOU KNOW,
PUTTING IT IN OUR FACES.
Reporter: AS FOR DEBRA,
SHE FINALLY RECEIVED A
STUDENT VISA, AND NOW
ATTENDS SCHOOL IN THE U.S.
SO WHAT DOES SHE WANT PEOPLE
TO LEARN FROM HER STORY?
THEY WILL UNDERSTAND AND
THEY WILL KNOW MORE, AND
MORE OF WHAT GOD SAYS.
AND THEY WILL, LIKE,
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO
STAND STRONG.
Reporter: A 15-YEAR-OLD
NIGERIAN STUDENT STANDING
STRONG IN VICTORY OVER
ISLAMIC TERRORISM, AND
PRAYING THAT HER CHRISTIAN
FRIENDS WILL SOON BE
REUNITED WITH THEIR
FAMILIES.
GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.
Reporter: YOU CAN FIND
MORE OF GARY'S EXCLUSIVE
REPORTING ON HIS BLOG, THE
GLOBAL LANE, INCLUDING HIS
LATEST REPORT ON A CHINESE
CRACKDOWN ON CHRISTIANS.
JUST GO TO OUR WEBSITE,
CBNNEWS.COM.
PAT, THAT'S ONE BRAVE YOUNG
GIRL.
Pat: WELL, SHE SURE
IS.
AND THE REST OF THEM ARE,
TOO.
I'LL TELL YOU, WHAT NEEDS TO
BE DONE, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS,
THIS GROUP NEEDS TO BE
ELIMINATED.
WE HAVE MILITARY FORCE.
I THINK IF WE HAD A COMPANY
OF NAVY SEALS, OR MAYBE A
COUPLE OF PLATOONS THAT MAY
MAKE UP A COMPANY, BUT A
COMPANY SIZE, WITH FULL
WEAPONERY, AND PUT THEM
WHERE THOSE PEOPLE ARE.
WE HAVE DRONE INTELLIGENCE
AND SATELLITE INTELLIGENCE,
AND WE CAN FIND OUT WHERE
THEY ARE.
IF WE WANT TO ASK THE
NIGERIANS TO GIVE US SOME
HONEST TROOPS TO BACK US UP,
THAT'S FINE.
BUT GO IN THERE WITH FULL
GUNS BLAZING WITH NO MERCY.
THEY'RE VICIOUS KILLERS.
AND THEY'LL CONTINUE TO KILL
AND RAPE AND ROB UNTIL
SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING TO
THEM.
WE NEED TO DO THAT.
WE CAN DO THAT.
AND IF PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTS
TO BE MACHO MAN, HE CAN BE
MACHO MAN WITH A GOOD
CONTINGENT OF SOME OF OUR
WELL-ARMED PEOPLE, FROM
SEALS, DELTA FORCE, OR
WHATEVER.
BUT FULLY ARMED AND WITH ALL
KINDS OF SUPPORT MATERIAL,
ESPECIALLY AIR POWER.
WE CAN DO IT.
WE NEED TO.
WENDY?
Wendy: ALL RIGHT.
WELL, UP NEXT, THE MAN WHO
WENT FROM THE CORN FIELD TO
CONGRESS TO THE GOVERNOR'S
MANSION.
THERE IS NO ROCKET
SCIENCE TO IT.
WE'RE JUST PUTTING IN THE
PRACTICE, THOSE COMMON SENSE
PRINCIPLES, LIVING WITHIN
OUR MEANS, LETTING PEOPLE
KEEP MORE OF WHAT THEY
EARN.
Wendy: WILL HIS NEXT
STOP BE THE WHITE HOUSE?
THAT'S THE QUESTION, COMING
UP.
çç
*
Pat: SOMETHING IS
HAPPENING IN THE HEARTLAND
OF AMERICA.
OKLAHOMA, KANSAS, INDIANA --
THERE IS A MOVING TOWARDS
VERY CONSERVATIVE
PRO-BUSINESS PRINCIPLES, AND
THE STATES ARE BOOMING.
THEIR ECONOMY IS BOOMING.
THEIR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS
GOING DOWN.
AND JOBS ARE BEING
PROVIDED.
IT'S A VERY REFRESHING
THING.
AND THE NEW GOVERNOR IN
INDIANA, A GUY NAMED MIKE
PENCE, A FORMER CONGRESSMAN,
A TERRIFIC GUY, AND HE HAS
FOUGHT TO MAKE HIS STATE
BUSINESS-FRIENDLY.
HE HAS BATTLED WASHINGTON
OVER MEDICARE AND
OBAMACARE.
AND SOME ARE SAYING GOVERNOR
MIKE PENCE MIGHT EVEN BE
PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE ABOUT
THAT.
BUT OUR DAVID BRODY WENT OUT
TO THE HEARTLAND IN INDIANA
FOR A CLOSER LOOK.
David: WHEN YOU MEET
MIKE PENCE, HE IS ALL
AMERICAN HEARTLAND, FROM A
CORN FIELD TO CONGRESS AND
NOW GOVERNOR.
I DON'T EVER REMEMBER,
EVEN IMAGINING, THAT THIS
GRANDSON OF AN IRISH
IMMIGRANT WOULD EVER HAVE
THE CHANCE TO LEAD MY STATE
AS GOVERNOR.
David: AND HE IS
MAKING THE MOST OF THE
OPPORTUNITY WITH AN APPROVAL
RATING OVER 60% AND ONE OF
THE TOP ECONOMIES IN THE
NATION.
INDIANA IS OPEN FOR TECH
BUSINESS ONCE AGAIN.
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AND YOUR
BUSINESS.
David: THE NUMBERS
SHOW A CONSERVATIVE
BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS.
SEVEN STRAIGHT MONTHS OF JOB
GROWTH WITH UNEMPLOYMENT
UNDER 6%, LEADING THE NATION
IN NEW MANUFACTURING JOBS.
PLUS THROW IN TAX CUTS AND A
BUDGET SURPLUS FOR GOOD
MEASURE.
THERE IS NO ROCKET
SCIENCE TO IT.
WE'RE JUST PUTTING IN TO
PRACTICE THOSE COMMON SENSE
PRINCIPLES, LIVING WITHIN
OUR MEANS, LETTING PEOPLE
KEEP MORE OF WHAT THEY
EARN.
David: SOME G.O.P. BIG
WIGS ARE COURTING PENCE, AND
THE GOVERNOR IS LISTENING.
THEY SEE HIM AS AN IDEAL
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
PRO-LIFE CHRISTIAN, STRONG
ON SOCIAL ISSUES, A HAWK ON
DEFENSE, AND ECONOMICALLY
CONSERVATIVE.
GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE AND
THE FIRST LADY OF INDIANA
HEADED OVERSEAS TODAY ON A
FOREIGN TRADE MISSION.
David: HE IS TAKING
HIS PLATFORM TO THE
INTERNATIONAL STAGE, AND HE
IS GOING TO SPEAK AT
NATIONAL G.O.P. FUNCTIONS,
STOKING PRESIDENTIAL
INTEREST EVEN FURTHER.
EVERY TIME WE SPEAK, I
ALWAYS HAVE TO ASK YOU --
YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO ASK
YOU ABOUT A PRESIDENTIAL
RACE.
WE DID THIS LAST TIME.
JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
CONGRESSMAN PENCE AND I
DISCUSSED A 2012
PRESIDENTIAL RUN RIGHT THERE
IN HIS D.C. OFFICE.
THIS IS THE PART OF THE
INTERVIEW WHERE I ASK YOU
THE OBLIGATORY 2012
QUESTION, AND THIS IS THE
PART WHERE YOU SAY, YOU
KNOW, IT IS AN HONOR TO BE
CONSIDERED.
SO LET'S JUST GO THROUGH THE
FORMALITIES THERE.
HERE WE ARE AGAIN, TWO YEARS
LATER, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
A MORE UNIQUE WAY TO POP THE
QUESTION.
FORGET ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK,
WHEN KAREN AND THE FAMILY
HEAR THESE -- THEY READ THE
NEWSPAPER, THEY HAVE GOOGLE,
DON'T THEY?
WHAT DO THEY THINK?
FORGET ABOUT YOU.
I CAN TELL YOU, ANY TIME
THAT I MENTION FOR THE
HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND
IT'S A HUMBLING AND
ENCOURAGING THING FOR ME AND
FOR MY FAMILY.
BUT OUR FOCUS IS ON IND
IND.
INDIANA.
David: HE IS ALSO
KEENLY AWARE THAT THE BEST
SOLUTIONS NEED TO COME FROM
OUTSIDE THE BELTWAY.
I THINK WHAT CURE THIS
NATION WILL COME MORE FROM
OUR BELTWAYS THAN OUR
NATION'S CAPITAL.
THERE ARE JUST THINGS STATES
WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DO
BETTER.
David: AND PENCE HAS
HIS HANDS FULL DOING THAT.
OBAMACARE NEEDS TO BE
REPEALED LOCK, STOCK, AND
BARREL.
David: HE SAYS HE
WON'T TAKE FEDERAL MONEY TO
EXPAND MEDICARE HERE UNLESS
IT IS DOWN THE INDIANA WAY.
IF WE COULD, IN EFFECT,
END TRADITIONAL MEDICAID IN
INDIANA FOR VIRTUALLY ALL OF
OUR CITIZENS AND REPLACE IT
WITH THE KIND OF
CONSUMER-DRIVEN HEALTH CARE
AND TRYING WITH THE HELP
INDIANA PLAN, WE WOULD BE
OPEN TO THAT.
David: SOME PEOPLE
CRITICIZE PENCE FOR EVEN
CONSIDERING TAKING THE
FEDERAL MONEY.
IT SAYS "THERE IS NOTHING
ALL THAT CONSERVATIVE ABOUT
THE STATE'S SPECIFIC PLANS
TO CAPTURE FEDERAL DOLLARS
EARMARKED FOR MEDICAID
EXPANSION."
BUT THE INDIANA PLAN IS
POPULAR WITH HOOSIERS
BECAUSE IT SETS UP PERSONAL
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.
IN A WORD, INDIANA HAS
PROVEN IN THE LAST SIX YEARS
THAT CONSUMER-DRIVEN HEALTH
CARE WORKS.
David: THE OTHER BIG
ISSUE, EDUCATION, AND COMMON
CORE.
PENCE PICKED UP PRAISE FOR
MAKING INDIANA THE FIRST
STATE TO OPT OUT OF THE
CONTROVERSIAL NATIONAL
CURRICULUM, BUT CRITICS
COMPLAIN THAT HIS NEW
STANDARDS LOOK A LOT LIKE
COMMON CORE.
MICHELLE MACKEN SAYS PENCE'S
ATTEMPTS TO REPACKAGE THE
COMMON CORE STANDARDS IS
FOOLING NO ONE.
WHATEVER DIFFERENCES
PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE, ON THE
STANDARDS WE PRODUCED, THESE
WERE WRITTEN BY AHORA
HOOSIERS FOR HOOSIERS.
David: ONE ITEM NOT UP
FOR DEBATE, HIS FAITH.
JUST ABOUT EACH AND EVERY
DAY, I LIKE TO START OUT MY
DAY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME IN THE BOOK, A LITTLE
BIT OF TIME IN PRAYER.
AND THAT HAS BECOME EVEN
MORE IMPORTANT TO ME AS I'VE
SHOULDERED THE
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS
OFFICE.
David: PENCE GAVE HIS
LIFE TO JESUS AS A COLLEGE
FRESHMAN, AND HE IS MINDFUL
OF 1 KINGS 3: "GIVE YOUR
SERVANT THEREFORE AN
UNDERSTANDING MIND TO GOVERN
YOUR PEOPLE, THAT I MAY
DISCERN BETWEEN GOOD AND
EVIL, FOR WHO IS ABLE TO
GOVERN THIS, YOUR GREAT
PEOPLE."
I PRAY FOR A
DISTINGUISHING HEART, TO
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN RIGHT
AND WRONG.
David: AND IN INDIANA,
IT IS GOVERNOR PENCE FOR
SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS, IN
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
Pat: I DON'T KNOW IF
DAVID IS GOING TO SIGN UP
FOR HER CAMPAIGN
COMMITTEE --
Wendy: HE HAS A VALIANT
EFFORT TO POP THAT
QUESTION.
Pat: BUT YOU'VE GOT
THESE GOVERNORS, LIKE JOHN
KASICH IN OHIO.
YOU HAVE A TREMENDOUS
GOVERNOR IN WISCONSIN.
AND YOU'VE GOT A TREMENDOUS
GOVERNOR IN KANSAS.
AND NOW YOU HAVE A
TREMENDOUS GOVERNOR IN
INDIANA.
THAT WHOLE CORE HAS A GREAT
RESURGENCE.
AND WE ARE THRILLED TO SEE
MEN OF THAT CALIBER TAKING
LEADERSHIP.
THEY COME UP WITH THE
INNOVATIONS THAT WASHINGTON
ONLY DREAMS ABOUT.
Wendy: IT IS GOING TO
MAKE IT HARDER TO DECIDE WHO
SHOULD BE PRESIDENT.
Pat: IT IS, BUT HE IS
AN EXTREMELY BRILLIANT
PERSON.
Wendy: COMING UP, HE IS
A FAMOUS AUTHOR WHO WAS A
VICTIM OF ABUSE.
I CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS AS
A 9-YEAR-OLD HOW THAT DOES.
Wendy: JOSH MCDOWELL
REVEALS THE SECRET HE KEPT
HIDDEN FOR 50 YEARS, AFTER
THIS.
çç
Wendy: FOR MORE THAN 50
YEARS, JOSH MCDOWELL HAS
BEEN A LEADING DEFENDER OF
THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, AND YET
DURING MOST OF THAT TIME,
JOSH HAJOSH HARBORED A
TERRIBLE SECRET, ONE HE
REVEALED TO OUR SCOTT ROSS.
Reporter: WHEN JOSH
MCDOWELL SPEAKS, YOUNG
PEOPLE LISTEN.
10MILLION OF THEM IN 115
COUNTRIES OVER HIS CAREER.
HE IS WELL-KNOWN FOR WRITING
EVIDENCE THAT DEMANDS A
VERDICT.
IRONICALLY, JOSH TRIED HIS
BEST TO DISAPPROVE
CHRISTIANITY AS A COLLEGE
STUDENT.
WHEN HIS RESEARCH LED HIM TO
THE TRUTH OF GOD'S
EXISTENCE, AND MORE OVER HIS
LOVE, JOSH COMMITTED HIS
LIFE TO SHARING THAT TRUTH
WITH PASSION.
HE IS HAPPILY MARRIED TO
DOTTIE, AND THEY HAVE KNOWN
A RICH FAMILY WITH FOUR
CHILDREN.
HIS OWN YOUTH WAS QUITE A
DIFFERENT STORY.
LET'S BACKTRACK A LITTLE.
THAT WAS NOT YOUR
BACKGROUND.
NO.
MY DAD WAS AN ALCOHOLIC AND
I WAS SEVERELY SEXUALLY
ABUSED.
Reporter: WITH YOUR DAD
BEING AN ALCOHOLIC, HOW DID
THAT AFFECT YOUR VIEW OF
LIFE OR FATHERHOOD.
WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE AN
ALCOHOLIC FATHER, I ALWAYS
FELT IT WAS MY FAULT.
AND THAT I WASN'T WORTH
HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH.
THAT'S HOW A LOT OF THAT
COMES OUT.
SO IT AFFECTS YOUR
SELF-IMAGE.
THAT YOU'RE NOT VALUABLE AS
A SON BECAUSE HE NEVER ONCE
SAID, I LOVE YOU OR KISSED
ME OR TOOK ME ANYWHERE TO BE
ALONE.
ANY TIME HE TOOK ME
SOMEWHERE IT WAS TO UNLOAD
THE TRUCK OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
THERE WAS ALWAYS A REASON
FOR IT.
Reporter: WHERE WAS
YOUR MOTHER DURING ALL OF
THIS?
MY MOM WAS SICK QUITE A
BIT.
SHE COULDN'T HANDLE A LOT OF
IT.
I WOULD SEE MY MOTHER OUT IN
THE BARNS AND LYING IN THE
MUD BECAUSE MY FATHER HAD
BEAT HER TO A BLOODY PULP.
AND I WOULD BE KICKING ON
HIM AND BEATING ON HIM, AND
SAYING WHEN I'M STRONG
ENOUGH, I'LL KILL YOU.
Reporter: JOSH'S FATHER
WAS JUST ONE SOURCE OF
PAIN.
WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD,
MY PARENTS HIRED A MAN BY
THE NAME OF WAYNE BAILEY TO
WORK ON THE FARM AS A COOK
AND A HOUSEKEEPER.
AND FROM THAT DAY ON,
WHENEVER MY MOTHER WOULD GO
DOWNTOWN SHOPPING OR MY
FOLKS WOULD GO AWAY FOR THE
WEEKEND, MY MOTHER WOULD
MARCH ME INTO WAYNE BAILEY'S
PLACE AND SAY YOU DO
EVERYTHING HE TELLS YOU TO
DO.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO AT SIX
YEARS OLD?
YOU DO WHAT WAYNE BAILEY
TELLS YOU.
AT 9 YEARS OLD, I GOT UP THE
COURAGE AND TOLD MY MOTHER
AND SHE WOULDN'T BELIEVE
ME.
I CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW
YOU FEEL AT NINE YEARS OLD,
WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
YOU FEEL ISOLATED.
I DON'T THINK I EVER
EXPERIENCED SO MUCH FEAR IN
MY LIFE.
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ALL
ALONE.
BECAUSE HERE IS A MAN DOING
THESE THINGS TO YOU AND
THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO
PROTECT YOU DON'T HELP.
Reporter: THE ABUSE
STOPPED WHEN HE WAS BIG
ENOUGH TO PUSH THE MAN
AWAY.
HE MADE IT THROUGH HIGH
SCHOOL, BUT HAD ANOTHER
HEARTBREAK AROUND THE
CORNER.
I HEARD MY MOTHER CRYING,
AND I RAN INTO THE HOUSE.
AND SHE SAT UP IN BED, AND I
SAID WHAT'S WRONG?
AND SHE SAID, YOUR FATHER
HAS BROKEN MY HEART.
AND SHE REACHED OUT AND PUT
HER ARMS AROUND ME, AND SHE
SAID, I'VE LOST THE WILL TO
LIVE, SON.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS LIVE
UNTIL YOU GRADUATE, AND THEN
I JUST WANT TO DIE.
AND TWO MONTHS LATER I
GRADUATED, AND THE NEXT
FRIDAY, THE 13th, SHE UP
AND DIED.
Reporter: WHERE DID THE
ENCOUNTER WITH GOD COME
FROM?
IT CAME OUT OF BITTERNESS
AND RESENTMENT.
I MET SOME STUDENTS AND
PROFESSORS WHO'S LIVES WERE
REALLY DIFFERENT.
Reporter: SO SHE MADE
FRIENDS WITH ONE GIRL AND
ASKED HER WHY THEY'RE SO
LOVING TO PEOPLE.
AND SHE SAID ONE WORD: JESUS
CHRIST.
I BLU I BLEW UP.
I SAID I'M SICK AND TIRED OF
THAT TRASH, CHRISTIANS AND
BIBLE ANDç CHURCH.ç
AND SHE SAID, I DIDN'T TELL
YOU THE CHRISTIANS AND BIBLE
AND CHURCH.
I TOLD YOU THE PERSON OF
JESUS CHRIST.
AND I APOLOGIZED TO HER
BECAUSE MY MOTHER DIDN'T
RAISE ME TO BE RUDE.
AND SHE CHALLENGED ME
INTELLECTUALLY.
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THE SON
OF GOD.
I REALLY BELIEVED THAT
CHRISTIANS HAD TWO BRAINS,
ONE WAS LOST AND THE OTHER
WAS OUTLOOKING FOR IT.
I REALLY THOUGHT CHRISTIANS
WERE IDIOTS.
Reporter: SO HE
TRAVELLED THROUGHOUT EUROPE,
HOPING TO GATHER EVIDENCE OF
THAT CHRISTIANITY WASN'T
TRUE, BUT WHAT HE FOUND WAS
THE OPPOSITE.
IT LED TO A PROCESS OF
RETURNING TO THE UNIVERSITY
WHERE I COULDN'T CHEAP.
I LEANED BACK IN MY CHAIR,
CUPPED MY HANDS BEHIND MY
HEAD, AND I SAID, IT'S
TRUE.
IT'S TRUE.
IT'S TRUE.
SO DECEMBER 19th, AT 8:30
AT NIGHT, I BECAME A
CHRISTIAN.
Reporter: MCDOWELL
WASTED NO TIME TELLING
OTHERS WHAT HE DISCOVERED.
AFTER FIVE DECADES OF
TALKING TW TO AND WITH
YOUNG ADULTS, HE IS AN
EXPERT ON YOUTH CULTURE.
EVERYWHERE I GO, I TALK
ABOUT MY WIFE.
I'M ONE OF THE LUCKIEST MEN
IN THE WORLD TO BE MARRIED
TO DOTTIE.
BECAUSE IT IS NOT ALL OF MY
DEGREES OR BOOKS, BUT I'M
KNOWN AS A MAN WHO SPENDS
TIME WITH HIS WIFE AND LOVES
HIS CHILDREN.
Reporter: JOSH'S LATEST
BOOK AND D.V.D. BRING TO
LIFE THE WHOLE, PAINFUL
TRUTH OF HIS CHILDHOOD.
"UNDAUNTED" IS A STUNNING
STORY OF FORGIVENESS AND
TRANSFORMATION.
Reporter: IF SOMEBODY
IS GOING TO WRITE YOUR
OBITUARY ONE DAY, WHAT DO
YOU WANT IT TO SAY?
HE WAS KNOWN FOR LOVING
HIS WIFE AND SPENDING TIME
WITH HIS CHILDREN.
Reporter: NOT WRITING
BOOKS, DOING TV OR VIDEOS,
NO?
NO.
AND IF THERE IS ONE PHRASE,
GOD BECAME MAN, AND HE IS
JESUS, AND HE IS PASSIONATE
ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH
YOU.
Wendy: WOW, POWERFUL.
JOSH, MCDOWELL, I HAVE TO
TELL YOU YOUR BOOK, "MORE
THAN A CARPENTER," HELPED
LEAD ME TO CHRIST MORE THAN
20 YEARS AGO.
IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT JOSH MCDOWELL'S LIFE,
THE BOOK IS CALLED
"UNDAUNTED," AND WE'VE GOT
THE D.V.D. AND THE BOOK.
AND THEY'RE AVAILABLE
NATIONWIDE.
PAT, THAT WAS RIVETING.
Pat: IT IS SO MOVING
BECAUSE IT CAME FROM HIS
HEART.
YOU CAN SEE HE WAS RELIVING
THAT PAIN.
WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
TO COME THROUGH, AND YET TO
COME OUT SO GENTLE AND KIND
AND LOVING AND A WONDERFUL
FATHER AND HUSBAND.
Wendy: SOME OF THE TIME
WHEN YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE INCREDIBLE
MINISTRIES AND BOOKS, THERE
IS A VERY PAINFUL PAST.
Pat: THAT WAS HIS
CASE.
Wendy: WELL, STILL
AHEAD, WE'VE GOT YOUR
E-MAIL.
ONE VIEWER WRITES, "WHEN WE
SAY THE SALVATION PRAYER, IS
SALVATION INSTANT?
AND CAN SALVATION BE LOST?"
WE'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION
AND MUCH MORE WHEN WE "BRING
IT ON," AFTER THIS.
WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700
CLUB."
25 YEARS AGO TODAY CHINESE
TROOPS CRACKED DOWN ON
PRO-DEDEMOCRACY PROTESTORS
IN TIANANMEN SQUARE.
IT LEFT HUNDREDS DEAD AND
PLUNGED THE COUNTRY INTO
CHAOS.
EVERY JUNE 4th THE
COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT
TIGHTENS SECURITY, BUT ON
THIS 25th ANNIVERSARY, IT
IS EVEN TOUGHER.
ONE CHINA EXPERT SAYS THE
TIANANMEN CRACKDOWN HELPED
THE CHURCH'S GROWTH IN
CHINA.
A PROFESSOR SAYS THE
MASSACRE CAUSED MANY CHINESE
ELITES TO LOSE FAITH IN
COMMUNISM AND BEGIN
CHRISTIANITY.
A TEA PARTY CHALLENGER COULD
UNSEAT A SIX-TERM SENATE
REPUBLICAN.
CHRIS McDANIEL HAS
VIRTUALLY TIED SENATOR THAD
COCHRANE IN THE MISSISSIPPI
PRIMARY.
NOW THEY'RE LOOKING AT A
POSSIBLE RUNOFF VOTE ON
JUNE 24th.
AND REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THEY
MADE OTHER GAINS IN
TUESDAY'S PRIMARIES THAT
COULD PUT THEM ON TRACK TO
REGAIN CONTROL OF THE
SENATE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
çç
Wendy: WELL, PAT, AS
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MANY
WONDERFUL VIEWERS OF "THE
700 CLUB."
AND THEY OFTEN WRITE TO TELL
US WHAT THEY LIKE ABOUT THE
SHOW.
KAREN WRITES, "FIRST OF ALL,
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I WATCH
YOUR PROGRAM MOST NIGHTS AND
I'M ENCOURAGED AND UP LIFTED
BY WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL
THAT YOU'RE DOING TO MAKE
THIS TELEVISED PROGRAM
POSSIBLE, AND ALL YOU'RE
DOING IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND
THE FOR THE ORPHANS."
AND JOANNE SAYS, "THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR BEING THERE WHEN
PEOPLE NEED SOMEONE TO PRAY
WITH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE
TIMES YOU PRAYED FOR ME.
RECENTLY I WAS ACCUSED OF
DOING SOMETHING AT WORK,
WHICH I DID NOT DO.
AS A RESULT, I HAD TO GO TO
WORK IN A DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENT THAN I NORMALLY
WORK IN AND MY HOURS WERE
CUT.
OF COURSE I PRAYED, BUT ONE
DAY THE LORD TOLD ME TO CALL
YOUR PRAYER LINE.
A WONDERFUL PERSON PRAYED
WITH ME.
GOD GAVE ME COMPLETE FAVOR,
AND I'M BACK IN MY
DEPARTMENT, DOING MY OLD
JOB, AND MY ACCUSER IS
GONE."
A VIEW WRITES, "WHEN YOU'RE
TRULY SORE TO GOD AND REPENT
BY SAYING THE SALVATION
PRAYER, IS SALVATION
INSTANT?
IS IT PERMANENT?
IF NOT, CAN IT BE LOST?"
Pat: YOU'VE ASKED A LOT
OF QUESTIONS THAT THE THEE
THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING
FOR GENERATIONS.
IF WE GIVE OURSELVES TO THE
LORD, AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD
COMES WITHIN US, AND THE
SPIRIT COMES IN US, WE'RE
CHILDREN THE GOD.
JOHN SAYS, IF YOU WALK IN
THE LIGHT, THE FELLOWSHIP OF
BROTHER BINDS US FROM ALL
SIN.
THE WHOLE THING IS YOU HAVE
GIVEN YOURSELF TO THE LORD,
AND NOW YOU'RE WALKING WITH
HIM.
WHEN YOU GIVE YOURSELF TO
JESUS, IT IS A TRANSACTION
WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES
IN.
IT ISN'T SOME CREED.
IT ISN'T SOME ATTENDANCE IN
SOME CHURCH.
IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT COMING
IN YOU.
AND AS MANY ARE LED BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT, THEY'RE THE
SONS OF GOD.
SO THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP.
AND YOU WALK IN THE SPIRIT,
WALK IN THE WORD ACCORDING
TO HIS TEACHING.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL
ABOUT.
AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT, AM I GOING
TO -- I DON'T SPEND A LOT OF
TIME THINKING ABOUT AM I
SAVED?
I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO GO
TO HEAVEN.
AND WE THINK ABOUT HEAVEN.
AND PAUL SAYS, I'VE DONE
EVERYTHING THAT I MIGHT
ATTAIN THE RESURRECTION OF
THE DEAD.
IS GOD GOING TO KICK ME OUT
OF HEAVEN?
WE'RE ADOPTED INTO THE
FAMILY OF GOD.
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE AN ADOPTED
CHILD, AND YOU SAY TO HIM,
IF YOU DON'T EAT YOUR PEAS
FOR DINNER, I'M GOING TO
KICK YOU OUT OF THE FAMILY.
GOD LOVES YOU.
IT'S A WALK.
Wendy: NICHOLAS WRITES,
"I'M 20, AND I NEVER HAVE
HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING UNTIL
NOW.
LATELY I'VE BEEN WIDE AWAKE
AT NIGHT, AND I PRAY TO GET
TIRED, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP.
WHY WON'T GOD MAKE ME SLEEP
IF HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT?"
Pat: GODç DOESN'T MAKEç
PEOPLE SLEEP.
IT MAY BE YOUR TROUBLED.
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING GOINGñ
ON IN YOUR BUSINESS OR LIFEñ
THAT IS EXCITING, AND THERE
IS A CHALLENGE AHEAD OF YOU,
OR THERE IS SOMETHING YOU
FEEL GUILTY ABOUT.
SO YOU NEED TO GET SOME
REST.
I'M A GREAT FAN OF
MELATONIN.
IT IS A TREMENDOUS THING.
IT IS A HORMONE, BUT IT IS
NATURAL AND IT DOESN'T HURT
YOU.
ONE MILLIGRAM, TWO
MILLIGRAMS.
IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL DOPE
PEY AND SLEEPY THE NEXT
DAY, YOU'VE TAKEN TOO MUCH.
SOME OF THE PROFESSORS WHO
TEACH ON LONGEVITY INDICATE
THAT MELATONIN IS REALLY
GOOD FOR YOU.
Wendy: AND NICHOLAS, HE
IS PRAYING TO GET TIRED.
I KNOW IF I HAVE A GOOD
WORKOUT DURING THE DAY, THAT
HELPS ME SLEEP BETTER AT
NIGHT.
Pat: IT SOMETIMES DOES
AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T.
Wendy: THAT'S TRUE.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME.
Pat: BEFORE YOU GO TO
BED, DON'T SPEND A LOT OF
TIME WATCHING EXCITING
TELEVISION, AND DON'T BE
THINKING ABOUT BUSINESS
DEALS, OR DON'T BE
WORRYING.
BUT MELATONIN.
Wendy: ALL RIGHT.
Pat: AN HOUR OR SO
BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.
Wendy: ANOTHER VIEWER
WRITES, "WHO WROTE THE BOOK
OF JAMES?
DID JESUS HAVE A DEPIPE AND
DISCIPLE BY THAT NAME?"
Pat: YOU FIND IT, IS
JAMES THE BROTHER OF THE
LORD?
MARTIN LUTHER IDENTIFIES
JAMES AS THE BROTHER OF THE
LORD.
Wendy: ABRAHAM WRITES,
"I WAS JUST WONDERING IF GOD
HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR?"
Pat: WELL, HE WOULDN'T
HAVE US DOING TELEVISION IF
HE DIDN'T HAVE A SENSE OF
HUMOR.
OF COURSE HE HAS A SENSE OF
HUMOR.
LAUGHTER COMES FROM THE
LORD.
THERE IS JOY IN THE
MORNING.
YOU READ, WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN I CREATED THE EARTH AND
THE MORNING STARS SANG FOR
JOY?
YOU SEE THAT, THE MORNING
STARS -- IN ALL OF THE
UNIVERSE THERE IS THE SONG
OF JOY.
GOD IS A GOD OF JOY.
OF COURSE HE IS.
HE IS NOT A GOD OF GLOOM AND
DOOM.
HE IS A GOD OF JOY.
AT LEAST I THINK SO.
Wendy: I BELIEVE YOU.
KEITH WRITES, "I AM A
74-YEAR-OLD SPIRIT-FILLED
SEMINARY GRADUATE AND BIBLE
TEACHER.
I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL
CALLED OUT HEALINGS FOR
LOWER BACK TROUBLE AND
DIABETIC LEG PAINS ON "THE
700 CLUB."
IN ALL CASES I CLAIMED THE
HEALINGS AND FELT THE POWER
OF GOD.
BUT THE HEALINGS LASTED
THREE OR FOUR DAYS AND THEN
FIZZLED OUT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I
CAN'T STAY HEALED."
Pat: OF COURSE, YOU
DON'T BELIEVE YOU'RE
ENTITLED TO IT.
PETER WAS WALKING ON THE
WATER, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
HE BEGAN TO LOOK AT THE
WAVES.
HE THOUGHT, I'M A FISHERMAN,
AND I'M OUT HERE WALKING ON
WATER.
THE MINUTE HE BEGAN TO THINK
THAT, HE BEGAN TO SANK.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.
THANK HIM AND PRAISE HIM,
AND DON'T LET DOUBT COME
INTO YOUR MIND.
THE DEVIL WILL DO EVERYTHING
TO TAKE YOUR FAITH AWAY AND
HE WILL PUT DOUBT IN YOUR
MIND.
JUST LIKE PETER, A GREAT
APOSTLE, AND HE STARTS TO
SINK BECAUSE HIS MIND GOT
OFF OF JESUS AND ON TO THE
WAVES.
GET YOUR MIND OFF THE
WAVES.
STOP LOOKING AT YOUR
SYMPTOMS.
MY HAND SHOULD REALLY NOT
FEEL THIS GOOD.
PRAISE GOD, MY HAND IS
FIXED, AND IT'S DONE.
Wendy: BELIEVE WHAT YOU
RECEIVED AND ASKED FOR IN
PRAYER.
Pat: AND DON'T LET GO.
LEO BEETLE IS A COMPUTER
WHIZ.
BUT LEO WASN'T AS SMART WHEN
IT CAME TO MANAGING MONEY.
HIS FAMILY WAS DEEP IN DEBT
UNTIL THEY FOUND A WAY TO
GET OUT OF DEBT.
Reporter: LEO AND RINA
BEETLE DIDN'T WORRY MUCH
ABOUT FINANCES.
HE MADE A GOOD LIVING AS A
NETWORK SYSTEMS ENGINEER FOR
AN OIL COMPANY.
THEN LEO STARTED HIS OWN
COMPUTER BUSINESS AND THE
TROUBLE STARTED.
WE WENT INTO THIS
BUSINESS, NO CAPITAL.
NO REAL BUSINESS PLAN.
NO REAL COSTUMERS.
Reporter: THE FIRST TWO
YEARS, LEO STRUGGLED TO
BUILD HIS CLIENT BASE.
BY THIS TIME, THE COUPLE HAD
FIVE BOYS.
THEY USED CREDIT CARDS TO
PAY FOR THEIR PERSONAL AND
BUSINESS NEEDS.
SOON THEY WERE $60,00,000
IN DEBT.
WE WERE ALWAYS TRYING TO
BORROW FROM PETER TO PAY
PAUL.
WE WERE PAYING MINIMUM
PAYMENTS, AND IT JUST KEPT
RUNNING A TAB.
Reporter: EVENTUALLY
THE COUPLE FELL BEHIND ON
BILLS AND COULDN'T PAY THEIR
MORTGAGE.
THEY FILED CHAPTER 7
BANKRUPTCY AND LOST THEIR
HOME.
I WENT THROUGH EVERY ROOM
AND I SAT ON THAT PACKED
BOX.
AND I SAID GOOD-BYE.
AND I THANKED GOD FOR THE
TIMES THAT WE HAD HAD
THERE.
Reporter: THE FAMILY
MOVED INTO AN APARTMENT AND
HAD TO USE FOOD STAMPS AND
SHOPç ATç SECOND-HAND STORES
FOR THEIR KIDS.
JOHN, THEIR OLDEST SON,
REMEMBERS WHEN THEY WENT
THROUGH A THRIFT STORE TO
BUY HIM SHOES.
50 CENTS WE PAID FOR THIS
PAIR OF SHOES.
THE SOLE WASN'T EVEN THERE.
Reporter: ONE DAY THE
COUPLE WAS WATCHING "THE 700
CLUB," AND MADE A DONATION.
LATER CBN SENT THEM A
TEACHING ON FINANCES.
THE BEETLES LEARNED HOW TO
LIVE ON A BUDGET AND
CONSISTENTLY TITHED.
GOD SAYS TEST ME, IF I
WON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS OF
HEAVEN.
Reporter: IN A FEW
MONTHS, LEO RECEIVED A
MESSAGE FROM A FRIEND ABOUT
A POSITION THAT PAID
$90,000.
IT IS LIKE THE PRODIGAL
SON RETURNING.
THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE.
Reporter: RINA ALSO GOT
A FULL-TIME JOB WITH A LOCAL
NEWSPAPER.
AND THEN A YEAR LATER, THEY
WERE SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE TV REALITY SHOW,
"MEET MR. MOM."
THEY WON $25,000.
THEY KNEW IT WASN'T LUCK.
HE WILL GET MONEY TO YOU,
YOU KNOW, IN THE STRANGEST
WAY SOMETIMES.
Reporter: THEY BUILT UP
THEIR SAVINGS AND STAYED OUT
OF DEBT.
AND THEY ALSO TAUGHT THEIR
SONS THE IMPORTANCE OF
LIVING ON A BUDGET AND
TITHING.
I'VE GIVEN BACK TO THE
HOUSE OF GOD.
Reporter: THE FAMILY
SAYS BEING OBBEET AND
OBEDIENT AND TRUSTING GOD
LEADS TO FINANCIAL
BLESSINGS.
GOD WAS THERE IN
EVERYTHING.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO COME OUT
A SUCCESS.
JUST GIVE.
JUST BE OBEDIENT.
OBEY THE FATHER, AND YOU
WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
Pat: A COUPLE OF THINGS
IN THAT STORY THAT YOU NEED
TO BE AWARE OF.
FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU'RE
CAPABLE OF HANDLING YOUR
MONEY PROPERLY, GOD WILL
GIVE YOU MORE OF IT.
I THINK THE TROUBLE WITH
THEM AT FIRST WAS THEY
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE
DOING.
I TALKED TO A JEWISH RABBI,
A DEAR FRIEND HE WAS HERE ON
THE SHOW, AND I SAID THE
HEBREW WORD IS MONEY, AND
WE'VE GOT THAT WORD IN
ENGLISH, MONEY, AND IT HAS
TO DO WITH CURRENCY, AND HE
SAID, IT ALSO HAD TO DO WITH
WISDOM.
THE CONCEPT OF THAT WORD IS
WISDOM.
AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING ARE
THE ONES WHO HAVE THE
MONEY.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO
HANDLE IT.
ONCE YOU SAY, I'VE LEARNED
HOW TO HANDLE IT, I'M A GOOD
STEWART, AND GOD WILL START
PUTTING IT IN YOUR HAND.
AND THE OTHER THING IS GIVE,
AND IT WILL BE GIVEN UNTO
YOU.
SO HE STOPPED THE LEAKAGE ON
THE ONE HAND AND OPENED THE
WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, ON THE
OTHER HAND, AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED.
WE HAVE SOMETHING WE WANT TO
GIVE YOU, AND IT'S CALLED
"LIVING ON GOD'S BLESSING."
I DID A FEAST AT THE
TABERNACLES, AND I COULD
HARDLY STAND UP.
THERE WAS SUCH AN ANOINTING
IN THAT ROOM.
GORDON HAS A TEACHING IN
HERE, BOTH OF US, AND SO YOU
CAN HAVE "LIVING UNDER GOD'S
BLESSING," A C.D. AND
D.V.D.
THIS IS A D.V.D.
Wendy: YES.
Pat: YOU SEE THE
PICTURE.
Wendy: YOU SEE THE
PICTURE.
Pat: THE C.D. YOU CAN
LISTEN TO.
THIS IS A D.V.D.
AND WE'LL GIVE THAT TO YOU
WHEN YOU JOIN "700 CLUB
INTERACTIVE."
IT IS JUST 65 CENTS A DAY.
PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL
IN.
1-800-759-0700.
AND THERE IS MORE.
AND HERE IS WENDY.
Wendy: ALL RIGHTY.
THANKS.
UP NEXT, SHE PROMISED TO
SAVE HERSELF FOR MARRIAGE,
AND THEN SHE WAS RAPED.
I HAD KEPT MY PROMISE,
BUT GOD HAD NOT KEPT HIS.
AND HE HAD FAILED ME.
AND SO I JUST DECIDED THAT
IF THAT IS WHAT HE WAS GOING
TO DO TO ME, WATCH WHAT I
WAS ABOUT TO DO TO HIM.
Wendy: SEE WHERE THAT
THREAT LED THIS WOMAN, WHEN
WE COME BACK.
çç
Pat: WELCOME BACK.
A LITTLE PROGRAM NOTE.
WE'VE GOT A TREAT FOR YOU
TOMORROW.
I HOPE IT IS A TREAT.
I'VE GOT THAT GREAT BIG
HORSE YOU FOLLOW DOING SOME
RATHER BEAUTIFUL TRISAGE
MOVES.
IT WILL BE ON THE SHOW
TOMORROW.
SO IF YOU LIKE WATCHING ME
DO STUFF, IT WILL BE THERE.
IF YOU LIKE WATCHING A
HORSE, IT WILL BE THERE.
TUNE IN TOMORROW.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT
ONE.
THE GRAND PRIX TRISAGE.
BY DAY, TRACY VAN NORMAN
PLAYED THE ROLE OF A LOVING
WIFE AND MOTHER.
BUT AT NIGHT SHE MORVED
MORPHED INTO A STRANGER.
CASEY LIVED A DOUBLE LIFE
FOR YEARS UNTIL HER SECRET
IDENTITY WAS BUSTED BY HER
OWN HUSBAND.
WHEN CASEY VAN NORMAN WAS
13, HER PARENTS DIVORCED.
AS A CHILD, NOT HAVING MY
FATHER PRESENT, JUST THAT
QUESTION OF WHY WAS I NOT
ENOUGH, YOU KNOW?
SO 13, 14, 15, I REALLY
WRESTLED WITH THIS FEELING
OF INSECURITY AND ONE
WORTHINESS.
Reporter: THOSE
FEELINGS WOULD ONLY GET
WORSE.
TRACY BECAME A CHRISTIAN,
AND AT 15 SHE MADE A PROMISE
TO GOD TO SAVE HERSELF FOR
MARRIAGE.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, SHE WAS
RAPED BY AN OLDER MAN.
WHAT I REALLY FELT IN
THAT MOMENT WAS THAT I HAD
KEPT MY PROMISE, BUT GOD HAD
NOT KEPT HIS.
AND HE HAD FAILED ME.
AND SO I JUST DECIDED THAT
IF THAT'S WHAT HE WAS GOING
TO DO TO ME, THEN WATCH WHAT
I WAS ABOUT TO DO TO HIM.
Reporter: SOON CASEY
WAS TAKING DRUGS AND HAVING
SEX.
SHE ALSO STARTED CUTTING AND
BECAME BULEMIC.
I USED EVERY BAND-AID YOU
COULD THINK ABOUT, SEX,
ALCOHOL, DRUGS, POPULARITY.
Reporter: AFTER YEARS
OF STRUGGLING, CASEY
RECOMMITTED HER LIFE TO
CHRIST.
SHE MET AND MARRIED JUSTIN
AND HAD TWO CHILDREN.
BUT SHE HADN'T LEARNED TO
ACCEPT GOD'S GIFT OF LOVE.
I WANTED TO WORK FOR
HIM.
I WANTED TO EARN THAT LOVE.
AS LONG AS I COULD STAY BUSY
IN THE THINGS OF GOD,
EVERYBODY WOULD THINK I WAS
OF GOD.
Reporter: AS MUCH AS
SHE TRIED, SHE COULDN'T GET
RID OF THE FEELINGS OF
INSECURITY AND UNWORTHINESS,
AND SOON RETURNED TO OLD
HABITS.
DURING THE DAY I WOULD
LIVE WHAT LOOKED TO BE THIS
VERY RIGHTEOUS, MORAL LIFE,
AND AT NIGHT I WOULD BE A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
PERSON.
CUTTING MY ARMS JUST TO
EXPERIENCE ONE MOMENT OF
POWER.
STICKING MY FINGER DOWN MY
THROAT.
Reporter: JUSTIN ADMITS
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS
HAPPENING TO HIS WIFE.
I WAS BUSY PROVIDING FOR
OUR FAMILY, TRYING TO EARN A
GOOD LIVING.
WE WERE TEACHING SUNDAY
SCHOOL AND DOING THINGS AT
THE CHURCH.
I BASICALLY STOPPED BEING
ROM MAS ROMANTIC WITH
CASEY.
Reporter: BUT A FELLOW
CHURCH MEMBER WAS READY TO
GIVE CASEY ALL OF THE
ATTENTION SHE WANTED.
ANOTHER MAN BEGAN TO
PURSUE ME.
BEGAN TO NOTICE THINGS THAT
JUSTIN DIDN'T SEEM TO
NOTICE, AND I RESPONDED.
Reporter: IT WAS THE
BEGINNING OF A
THREE-YEAR-LONG AFFAIR.
EVENTUALLY JUSTIN DISCOVERED
IT.
WHILE IT WAS HARD, JUSTIN
FORGAVE HIS WIFE.
IN THAT MOMENT, IT ALL
BEGAN VERY CLEAR TO ME THAT
I WAS AS MUCH AT FAULT IN
LETTING THE BOUNDARIES AND
GUARD DOWN THAT WE SHOULD
HAVE HAD WITH OUR MARRIAGE
BUT DIDN'T.
Reporter: BUT CASEY WAS
OVERCOME WITH GUILT.
I WAS SO DISGUSTED WITH
MYSELF.
I REALLY BELIEVED THAT MY
FAMILY AND MY HUSBAND WOULD
BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME.
I POPPED A BOTTLE OF XANAX
AND A WHOLE THING OF ALCOHOL
AND PRAYED TO END IT.
Reporter: AT THAT
MOMENT, A CLOSE FRIEND
HAPPENED TO BE OUT RUNNING
ERRANDS.
HE PUT IT ON MY FRIEND'S
HEART TO URGENTLY GET TO
CASEY'S HOUSE.
THE HOUSE WAS NOT LOCKED.
I WAS THERE, AND I WAS
PASSED OUT.
I KNOW IF I STAYED IN THAT
WAY FOR ANY AMOUNT LONGER,
MY HEART WOULD HAVE
STOPPED.
GOD USED HER AS A VESSEL TO
SAVE MY LIFE.
Reporter: AS SHE
RECOVERED PHYSICALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY, JUSTIN WAS
THERE BY HER SIDE.
CASEY SAID HIS RESPONSE
HELPED HER TO FINALLY
UNDERSTAND GOD'S LOVE.
I HAD BEEN A CHRISTIAN
ALL THAT TIME, AND I DIDN'T
FULLY GRASP GRACE.
AND FOR HIM TO LOOK AT ME
AND SAY, CASEY, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO NOT LOVE YOU.
THIS WAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD
IN HIM OFFERING ME
FORGIVENESS AND GRACE SO
THAT I WOULD EXPERIENCE
GRACE.
AND NOW I GET TO GO AND TELL
EVERYONE THIS STORY, THAT
GOD IS SAYING THESE WORDS TO
YOU, WHICH IS, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO NOT LOVE YOU.
Reporter: CASEY SAYS
SHE STOPPED CUTTING AND WAS
ALSO FREE FROM HER STRUGGLE
WITH BULEMIA.
SHE ANDç JUSTIN THEN BEGANç
RESTORING THEIR MARRIAGE.
WE BEGAN TO WEED OUT
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, PLACE
HIGHER BOUNDARIES IN OUR
MARRIAGE, AND THEN
COMMUNICATE.
WE SHARE OUR HEARTS WITH
ONE ANOTHER LIKE WE NEVER
HAVE BEFORE.
INTIMACY IS WAY STRONGER NOW
THAN IT EVER WAS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A
MARRIAGE, IT IS THE ONE
THING ON PLANET EARTH THAT
GOD HAS GIVEN US TO LOOK AT
AND SAY, THIS IS HOW I LOVE
MY CHURCH.
Reporter: CASEY AND
JUSTIN NOW WORK AT A RANCH
IN TEXAS THAT HOUSES WOMEN
WHO HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM SEX
TRAFFICKING.
AND CASEY IS A PUBLISHED
AUTHOR AND A FEATURED
SPEAKER AT WOMEN'S
CONFERENCES.
SHE SHARES HER STORY SO THAT
OTHERS MIGHT EXPERIENCE THE
GIFT OF GOD'S LOVE.
HE IS IN CONTROL OF EVERY
MOMENT.
HE IS THE AUTHOR OF OUR
LIVES.
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE
HIM ON THAT LEVEL,
EVERYTHING CHANGES.
IT IS SO EMPOWERING.
IT SETS US FREE TO TRULY
LIVE.
Pat: WHAT A HUSBAND.
BUT THE HUSBAND REPRESENTED
JESUS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW NOT TO LOVE
YOU.
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?
GOD DOESN'T KNOW HOW NOT TO
LOVE US.
AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM
THE WEST, THAT'S HOW FAR
HE'LL TAKE OUR SINS FROM
US.
ROMANS 8: 28: "GOD WORKS
EVERYTHING FOR GOOD TO THOSE
WHO LOVES HIM."
GOD'S LOVE HAVE NEVER
STOPPED.
YOU HAVE NOT SINNED AWAY
YOUR CHANCE OF SALVATION.
GOD LOVES YOU.
PRAYEPRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW
THESE WORDS, JESUS -- SAY
IT, JESUS.
JESUS, I TAKE YOUR LOVE AND
I THANK YOU THAT YOU LOVE
ME.
AND I RECEIVE THAT LOVE
NOW.
COME IN, TAKE OVER MY LIFE,
FROM THIS MOMENT ON I WILL
WALK IN THE GRACE OF THE
LORD.
THANK YOU, LORD.
THANK YOU.
AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED THAT SIMPLE
PRAYER, PLEASE CALL US.
WE'RE GOING OFF THE AIR IN
JUST A SECOND, BUT THE
TELEPHONES WILL BE THERE.
1-800-759-0700.
JUST SAY, LOOK, I PRAYED,
AND TALK TO SOMEBODY ON THE
PHONES.
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU,
AND YOU NEED TO CALL.
I WANT TO THANK EACH ONE OF
YOU FOR JOINING US ON
TODAY'S BROADCAST.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH OUR POWER
MINUTE FROM PROVERBS: "HE
WHO HEEDS THE WORD WISELY
WILL FIND GOOD.
AND WHOEVER TRUSTS IN THE
LORD, HAPPY IS HE."
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE'VE
GOT.
TOMORROW YOU'RE GOING TO
MEET THE ATLANTA BOY WHO WAS
KIDNAPPED FROM HIS FRONT
LAWN.
AND THERE IS A SONG THAT SET
HIM FREE.
AND WE'VE ALSO GOT A
WONDERFUL LITTLE PIECE WITH
ME AND A GREAT BIG,
BEAUTIFUL HORSE.
I THINK IF YOU LIKE ANIMALS,
YOU'LL LIKE WHAT GOD CAN DO
IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
THAT WILL BE ON THE SHOW
TOMORROW.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
FOR WENDY AND ALL OF US,
THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
