Gordon: TALK ABOUT A

WORLD-WIND ROMANCE,

ENGAGED AND MARRIED IN THE

SAME DAY.

WE'LL MEET THE VIRAL STARS

BEHIND THE SURPRISE

WEDDING.

AND THEN, MEGA CHURCH

PASTOR HERBERT COOPER HAD

A SECRET.

AT THE AGE OF 13, I WAS

SEXUALLY ABUSED.

Gordon: AND HE

COULDN'T HIDE IT ANY

LONGER.

YOU'VE GOT TO OPEN UP

AND TELL SOMEONE.

Gordon: HIS

CONFESSION...

I HAD SO MANY EMOTIONS.

LITERALLY, IS THIS OKAY?

SHOULD THIS BE HAPPENING?

Gordon: ...ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

*

Gordon: WELL, WELCOME

TO "THE 700 CLUB."

THE DEAL IS DONE.

THE U.S. AND FIVE OTHER

WORLD POWERS HAVE SIGNED

AN HISTORIC AGREEMENT WITH

IRAN THAT WILL HOPEFULLY

CURB ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM.

DESPITE MISGIVINGS IN

THE U.S. AND ISRAEL,

PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS

PROMISED TO VETO

LEGISLATION AIMED AT

BLOCKING HIS ACHIEVEMENT.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

THE DEAL WILL HAVE

PROFOUND CONSEQUENCES

THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE

EAST.

Reporter: AFTER WEEKS

OF NEGOTIATIONS, THE SIX

WORLD POWERS, INCLUDING

ALL OF THE PERMANENT

MEMBERS OF THE U.N.

SECURITY COUNCIL, AND

IRAN, REACHED AN

AGREEMENT.

THIR THIS IS AN IMPORTANT

ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL OF US.

TODAY COULD HAVE BEEN THE

END OF HOPE ON THIS ISSUE.

BUT NOW WE ARE STARTING A

NEW CHAPTER OF HOPE.

Reporter: THE

AGREEMENT WILL LEAVE

IRAN'S NUCLEAR FACILITIES

ENTACT, AND ALLOW IT TO

ENRICH URANIUM.

THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR

IRAN ARE POTENTIALLY

MASSIVE.

IT STANDS TO RECEIVE MORE

THAN $100 BILLION IN

ASSETS FROZEN OVERSEAS AND

AN END TO A EUROPEAN OIL

EMBARGO AND VARIOUS

FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS ON

IRANIAN BANKS.

IN WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT

OBAMA HAILED THE DEAL.

President Obama: THIS

DEAL MEETS EVERY ONE OF

THE BOTTOM LINES WE

ESTABLISHED WHEN WE

ACHIEVED A FRAMEWORK

EARLIER THIS SPRING.

EVERY PATHWAY TO A NUCLEAR

WEAPON IS CUT OFF.

Reporter: YET HERE IN

JERUSALEM, ISRAELI PRIME

MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU CRITICIZED THE

DEAL.

IN A STATEMENT SH HE SAID THE

AGREEMENT IS AN HISTORIC

MISTAKE FOR THE WORLD.

OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE

MILITANT ISLAMIC STATE OF

IRAN IS GOING TO RECEIVE A

SHORT PATH TO NUCLEAR

WEAPONS.

MANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS

THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO

PREVENT IT FROM GETTING

THERE WILL BE LIFTED.

AND IN ADDITION, IRAN WILL

GET A JACKPOT, A CASH

BONANZA, OF HUNDREDS OF

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHICH

WILL ENABLE IT TO CONTINUE

TO PURSUE AGGRESSION AND

TERRORISM IN THE REGION

AND IN THE WORLD.

Reporter: THE SENATE

HAS 60 DAYS TO REVIEW AND

VOTE ON THE DEAL.

THE AGREEMENT ALSO

REPRESENTS A MAJOR SHIFT

IN U.S. POLICY, AWAY FROM

ITS TRADITIONAL ALLIES,

LIKE SAUDI ARABIA, AND

TOWARDS IRAN.

MANY OF THE GULF STATES

CONSIDER IRAN A MORTAL

ENEMY, IT IS POSSIBLE THE

DEAL WILL INCREASE, NOT

LESSEN, TENSIONS IN THE

REGION.

AND NETANYAHU ALLUDED TO A

MILITARY OPTION WHEN HE

SAID ISRAEL REMAINS

COMMITTED TO PREVENTING

IRAN FROM ACQUIRING

NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

WHILE THE DEAL MAY END ONE

PHASE OF THE WORLD'S

DEALING WITH IRAN'S

NUCLEAR PROGRAM, ANOTHER

NEW AND POTENTIALLY MORE

DANGEROUS PHASE MAY HAVE

BEGUN.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

Gordon: HERE ARE SOME

PREDICTIONS FOLLOWING THIS

DEAL.

NUMBER ONE, THE PRICE OF

OIL IS GOING TO GO DOWN BY

IRAN SUPPLIES WILL HIT THE

MARKET AGAIN.

WITH THE LIFTING OF

SANCTIONS.

IT WILL DEFINITELY BE NEXT

YEAR.

OIL PRICES WILL BE LOWER

BECAUSE IRANIAN OIL WILL

BE BACK ON THE MARKET.

TWO, IT IS GOING TO START

AN ARMS RACE IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

AND SAUDI ARABIA WILL BE

THE FIRST ONE AT EIGHT,

TRYING TO PRODUCE THEIR

OWN NUCLEAR WEAPON AND

THEIR OWN MISSILE

CAPABILITY IN ORDER TO

COUNTERACT IRAN.

AND NUMBER THREE, IRAN IS

GOING TO GET A LOT OF

MONEY OUT OF THIS AND

FAIRLY QUICKLY.

THAT MEANS THEIR PROXY

WARS AND MEN IN HAMAS

AGAINST ISRAEL -- ALL OF

THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE

BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO

HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO

SEE IT THROUGH.

AND THEN, NUMBER FOUR --

AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE

SOME TIME, BUT WHEN THE

SANCTIONS FINALLY LIFT IN

EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW, AND

IRAN WILL BE ABLE TO

PURCHASE BALLISTIC MISSILE

TECHNOLOGY, THEY'RE GOING

TO DO THAT.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE

ABLE, AT THAT POINT IN

TIME, TO SAY WE CAN PUT A

NUCLEAR WEAPON TOP OF A

BALLISTIC MISSILE, AND

THAT'S A GAME-CHANGER.

HERE AT HOME, RELIGIOUS

LIBERTY IS AT STAKE FOR

CHRISTIAN BUSINESS OWNERS

WHO BELIEVE IT GOES

AGAINST THEIR BELIEF TO

SERVE GAY WEDDINGS.

ONE COUPLE IN OREGON TOOK

A STAND, AND NOW THEY'RE

PAYING A HEAVY PRICE.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT

STORY.

John: THANKS, GORDON.

THE COUPLE HAD UNTIL

MONDAY TO PAY A $135,000

FINE FOR REFUSING TO BAKE

A CAKE FOR A GAY WEDDING.

THAT DEADLINE HAS COME AND

GONE, AND NOW THE STATE IS

THREATENING TO PLACE A

LEAN ON THEIR HOME UNTIL

THE FINE IS PAID.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON SPOKE

WITH THE COUPLE WHO SAID

THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL

RIGHTS ARE AT STAKE AND

THEY'RE NOT BACKING DOWN.

Reporter: THE TROUBLE

FOR AARON AND MELISSA

CLINE BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO

WHEN A WOMAN CAME INTO

THEIR BAKERY ASKING FOR A

WEDDING CAKE.

A USUAL DAY.

SHE CAME IN, SAT DOWN, AND

I HAD SOME CAKE FOR HER TO

TRY.

I ASKED HER FOR THE BRIDE

AND GROOM'S NAME.

AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WERE

GOING TO BE TWO BRIDES.

AT THAT POINT, I WAS

APOLOGETIC, AND I SAID,

I'M SORRY, WE CAN'T DO

THIS.

I DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR

TIME.

SHE GOT UP AND WALKED OUT.

Reporter: A FEW WEEKS

LATER, THE CLINES FACED A

CIVIL COMPLAINT FOR

FAILING TO SERVE THE

COUPLE.

A CITATION EQUAL TO A

TRAFFIC VIOLATION IN THE

STATE.

WE WERE OF THE MIND

SELSETTHAT WE WERE FULLY WITHIN

OUR RIGHTS.

EVERYBODY BELIEVES THAT

ADAGE, WE RESERVE THE

RIGHT TO REFUSE BUSINESS

FOR ANY REASON.

Reporter: THEY WERE

ORIGINALLY FINED $400, THE

PRICE OF ONE OF THE

CAKES,

BUT THE OREGON

COMMISSIONER AWARDED THEM

$135,000 IN EMOTIONAL

DAMAGES.

HE THEN

ORDERED THE CLINES

TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM

OPENLY PROFESSING THAT

THEY WON'T SERVE GAY

WEDDINGS BECAUSE OF THEIR

CHRISTIAN BELIEFS.

SINCE TURNING DOWN THE

LESBIAN COUPLE, THE CLINES

HAVE HAD TO CLOSE THEIR

BUSINESS AND HAVE SPENT

THE PAST TWO YEARS

FIGHTING TO PROTECT THEIR

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, AND NOW

THEY FIGHT TO PROTECT

THEIR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

IT IS FIRST AMENDMENT,

FREE SPEECH.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT A

GOVERNMENT AGENCY TELLING

A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL WHAT

THEY CAN AND CANNOT SAY.

THIS SHOULD SCARE EVERY

AMERICAN.

I'M SHOCKED AT THE FACT

THAT I WASN'T EVEN

CHARGED.

I WASN'T EVEN CHARGED.

AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT I

HAVE TO BE SILENT.

AND TO ME, THAT'S -- I

DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

THAT DOESN'T -- I DON'T

SEE HOW SOMEBODY CAN TELL

ME TO BE QUIET.

AND, FRANKLY, I'M NOT

GOING TO BE QUIET ABOUT MY

FAITH.

Reporter: HANS VAN OF

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

SAYS THE CLINES COULD SEEK

LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE

COMMISSIONER FOR HIS CLEAR

PREJUDICPREJUDICES IN THEIR CASE.

I THINK THEY HAVE A

POTENTIAL CIVIL RIGHTS

CASE AGAINST THE

COMMISSIONER.

HE CLEARLY HAS ACTED AS

JUDGE, JURY, AND

EXECUTIONER IN THIS CASE.

AND HAS ACTED PUNITIVELY

AGAINST THEM.

Reporter: AND HE ALSO

FEELS THAT THE RULING IS

INTENDED TO INTIMIDATE

OTHER CHRISTIANS.

I THINK THE CHURCHES

SHOULD BE GETTING BEHIND

THE CLINES.

BUT I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT

THEY'RE NOT SAYING

ANYTHING ABOUT THIS

BECAUSE THE CLEAR INTENT

OF THE STATE OF OREGON AND

COMMISSIONER AVACIAN, IS

TO INTIMIDATE THE

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

THAT'S WHY HE HAS IMPOSED

THIS HUGE PUNISHMENT ON

THE CLINES.

AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT

THAT INTIMIDATION IS

WORKING.

Reporter: AARON AND

MELISSA HAVE SEEN MIXED

SUPPORT FROM CHRISTIANS IN

PORTLAND.

EVEN THE CHURCHES --

AND I'M NOT SAYING ALL OF

THEM, BUT A PERCENTAGE OF

THE CHURCHES SAID,

BASICALLY, THEY'VE MADE

THIS MESS.

THEY'RE ON THEIR OWN.

Reporter: PROFESSOR

MICHAEL GURNEY SEES THIS

MIXED REACTION AS

GENERATIONAL.

I THINK FOR THE YOUNGER

GENERATION, THEY DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHY CHRISTIANS

WOULD REFUSE.

FOR THEM, IT'S NOT THAT

THEY SEE THE ACT OF BAKING

A CAKE AS ENDORSING.

IT IS A MATTER OF

EQUALITY.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE

MORE AND MORE OF THIS

ENCROACHMENT UPON

RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES.

AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE

TO REALLY BE PREPARED FOR

THAT.

Reporter: DESPITE THE

HARDSHIPS AND LONG ROAD

AHEAD, AARON AND MELISSA

REMAIN CONFIDENT GOD WILL

SEE THEM THROUGH.

FOR ME, PERSONALLY, IT

HAS BEEN -- I MEAN, IT'S

WEIRD TO SAY, BUT IT HAS

BEEN AN AMAZING

EXPERIENCE.

I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH

THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

GOD HAS TAUGHT

ME

TO TRUST

HIM.

Reporter: ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS,

PORTLAND, OREGON.

John: GAY ADULTS CAN

NOW SERVE AS BOY SCOUT

LEADERS.

THE ORGANIZATION'S

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

APPROVED A RESOLUTION,

ENDING THE SCOUT'S BLANKET

BAN ON SCOUT LEADERS.

BUT CHURCH SPONSORED UNITS

OPPOSED TO THE CHANGE ARE

ALLOWED TO MAINTAIN THE

BAN IF THEY CHOOSE.

IT LOOKS LIKE MORE CHANGES

ARE IN STORE FOR AMERICA'S

ARMED FORCES.

ASH CORDER HA CARTER HAS ORDERED A

SIX MONTH STUDY ON

FORMALLY ENDING

TRANSGENDERS SERVING IN

THE MILITARY.

Reporter: HE SAYS THE

PENTAGON'S TREND ON TRANS

GENDEREGENDERED SOLDIERS HAS

CHANGED.

THE GROUP WILL BEGIN WITH

THE PRESUMPTION THAT

TRANSGENDER PEOPLE SHOULD

BE ABLE TO SERVE.

FORMER NAVY PILOT BRENN

TANAHILL LEFT THE SERVICE

BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO

ANOTHER GENDER.

IT WAS STRESSFUL, AND

IT WAS SOMETHING I

COULDN'T TALK WITH ANYONE

ABOUT.

BECAUSE IF YOU BREATHED A

WORD OF IT, YOU COULD LOSE

YOUR CAREER THAT I WORKED

SO HARD FOR.

Reporter: BUT THERE

ARE KEY CONCERNS: WHETHER

THE MILITARY SHOULD PAY

FOR SEX-CHANGE SURGERIES,

WHERE TRANSGENDERED TROOPS

WOULD BE HOUSED, WHAT

UNIFORMS THEY WOULD WEAR,

WHICH BATHROOMS THEY WOULD

USE, AND WHETHER THEIR

PRESENCE WOULD AFFECT THE

ABILITY OF SMALL UNITS TO

WORK WELL TOGETHER.

RETIRED ARMY GENERAL JERRY

BOYKIN WITH THE FAMILY

RESEARCH COUNCIL ATTACKED

THE PLAN, SAYING

"CONSIDERING THE ABYSMAL

CONDITION OF OUR MILITARY

AND A DECLINE IN

READINESS, WHY IS THIS A

TOP PRIORITY FOR THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION?

THE PENTAGON MUST ANSWER

WHETHER THIS PROPOSED

POLICY MAKES OUR MILITARY

MORE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING

ITS MISSION.

THE ANSWER IS A VERY CLEAR

AND RESOUNDING NO."

THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES

AFTER REPORTS OF ALREADY

LOW MORALE IN THE

MILITARY, AND THE EXEDUS

OF CHRISTIAN SERVICEMEN

AND WOMEN WHO NOW SEE THE

MILITARY AS HOSTILE TO

THEIR FAITH.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

John: AND POLITICAL

NEW, SCOTT WALKER IS THE

LATEST REPUBLICAN TO JOIN

THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT.

HE MADE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT

IN HIS HOME STATE ON

MONDAY, AND JOINS THE RACE

AS A TOP-TIER CANDIDATE.

HE MADE A POINT OF SAYING

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN

AMERICA SHOULD BE

PROTECTED.

HIS MAIN THEME, THOUGH,

WILL BE THAT OF A FISCAL

CONSERVATIVE PERFORMER

WITH PROVEN RESULTS IN

WISCONSIN.

THAT'S SOMETHING DAVID

BRODY SPOKE WITH HIM ABOUT

RECENTLY DURING A CAMPAIGN

SWING THROUGH IOWA.

WHAT I HEAR AMERICANS

WANT IS SOMEONE WHO FIGHTS

AND WINS FOR EVERYDAY

AMERICANS.

A LOT OF GOT PEOPLE IN OUR

SOCIETY FIGHT THE GOOD

FIGHT.

THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE

WHO HAVE WON ELECTIONS

BEFORE.

BUT RIGHT NOW I DON'T SEE

ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS RACE

WHO HAS FOUGHT THE GOOD

FIGHT ON ISSUE AFTER ISSUE

AFTER ISSUE AND WON.

NOT JUST WON ELECTIONS.

IN OUR CASE WE WON THREE

ELECTIONS IN FOUR YEARS IN

A STATE THAT HASN'T GONE

REPUBLICAN SINCE '84.

AND WIN IN SUBSTANCE ON

THE ISSUES.

John: YOU CAN WATCH

AND READ MORE ABOUT SCOTT

WALKER AND ALL OF THE OT

OTHER G.O.P. CANDIDATES ON

"THE BRODY FILE."

AND THE FIRST DEBATE IS

JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY.

Gordon: AND IT IS

ALSO GETTING VERY CROWDED.

THIS IS GOING TO BE QUITE

A RACE.

YOU LOOK AT THE POLITICAL

LANDSCAPE, AND THERE IS A

BIG SPECTRUM OF CANDIDATES

IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

WENDY?

Wendy: UP NEXT, IT IS

ONE GENERATION'S

WORK-PLACE DREAM AND

OTHER'S NIGHTMARE.

THEY'RE PREVIOUS BOSS

WAS A LITTLE OLDER THAN I

AM.

THEY WALK IN, AND HERE IS

THIS 31-YEAR-OLD, AND HE

IS GOING TO BE MY BOSS.

I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS

FOR 20 YEARS.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL

HIM WHAT TO DO.

Wendy: SEE WHY MORE

AND MORE MILLENNIALS ARE

TAKING CHARGE OF BUSINESS,

AFTER THISCH

Gordon: A POWER SHIFT

IS UNDER WAY IN THE

WORKPLACE.

THE GENERATION KNOWN AS

MILLENNIALS ARE USING

THEIR TECH SAVVY SKILLS TO

QUICKLY CLIMB THE

CORPORATE LADDER.

AS CAITLIN BURKE REPORTS,

THE RIDE CAN GET BUMPY

WHEN THEY'RE PUT INTO

POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY

OVER THEIR OLDER

CO-WORKERS.

Reporter: A DECADE

AGO, BEING MANAGED BY

SOMEONE HALF THEIR AGE WAS

A DREAM FOR SOME AND A

NIGHTMARE FOR OTHERS.

YOUNGER GEN-XERS AND

MILLENNIALS HAVE A UNIQUE

SET OF SKILLS, SKILLS THAT

MATTER MOST IN THIS

CHANGING WORLD.

MILLENNIALS BRING A

TALENT IN TERMS OF THEIR

TECHNOLOGY SAVVY, THEIR

ABILITY TO CHANGE QUICKLY.

THESE ARE VERY USEFUL

SKILLS THAT COMPANIES NEED

RIGHT NOW.

GEN-XERS AND

MILLENNIALS HAVE THE

ABILITY TO WORK 24/7.

WHAT THEY BRING TO THE

TABLE IS THE ABILITY TO

INTERACT WITH ANYBODY,

ALMOST ANY TIME DURING THE

DAY OR NIGHT.

Reporter: THAT HELPED

SEAL THE DEAL FOR AUSTIN

KELLERMAN WHO TOOK THE JOB

AT NBC AND FOX TELEVISION

STATIONS.

AT ONLY 31, HE WAS THE

YOUNGEST NEWS DIRECTOR THE

STATIONS HAD EVER HIRED.

THE DIGITAL PUSH WAS A

BIG PART OF IT, BUT THE

BIG PUSH IN THE COMPANY,

DIGITAL THROUGH THE WEB

AND SOCIAL MEDIA, AND I

THINK SOCIAL MEDIA IS ONE

OF THOSE THINGS I'VE

ALWAYS BEEN PASSIONATE

ABOUT.

SO IT WAS SOMETHING I

WANTED TO BRING IN TO HELP

PUT MY STAMP ON WHAT KARC

AND FOX WOULD BE IN THE

FUTURE.

Reporter: BUT IT CAN

OFTEN BE A ROADBLOCK TO

POSITIVE CHANGE.

THEIR PREVIOUS BOSS WAS

A LITTLE OLDER THAN I AM.

HERE IS THIS 31 AND HE IS

GOING TO BE MY BOSS?

I'VE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS

FOR 20 YEARS, AND I SHOULD

BE ABLE TO TELL HIM WHAT

TO DO.

I

DIDN'T GET ANYONE WHO

SAID THAT, BUT I WOULD

IMAGINE THAT'S WHAT THEY

WERE THINKING.

Reporter: THIS

GENERATIONAL

SHIFT

IS JUST

BEGINNING AS THE WORKPLACE

GETS YOUNGER AND YOUNGER.

THIS IS A STRATEGIC

DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OF THE

SKILLS THEY BRING.

Reporter: THEY SAY

THIS NEW OFFICE TRANSITION

CAN BE A SMOOTH ONE AS

LONG AS COMMUNICATION AND

RESPECT ARE PART OF THE

RELATIONSHIP.

THE YOUNGER MILLENNIALS

NEED TO HELP THOSE OLDER

EMPLOYEES UNDERSTAND WHAT

IT IS LIKE TO WORK WITH

THEM.

THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND

THAT THE NEED TO LET THE

MILLENNIALS AND THE

GEN-XERS DO THEIR THING.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW

THEY'RE DOING IT.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE

BOTTOM LINE.

Reporter: THERE ARE

CONCEPTS HE HAS LEARNED

FROM OLDER EMPLOYEES AND

MENTORS.

I THINK BEING A YOUNGER

PERSON, A YOUNGER MANAGER,

I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO, YOU

KNOW, APPROACH MORE

EXPERIENCED OR OLDER

EMPLOYEES IN THAT REGARD

AND MAKE SURE THEY

UNDERSTAND I VALUE THEM,

AND TRULY USE THEM AS A

RESOURCE.

Reporter: KELLERMAN

IS SUCCESSFULLY LEADING

KARK AND FOX 15 INTO THE

DIGITAL FUTURE.

DIGITALLY, OUR

FOOTPRINT IS A LOT LARGER

IN TERMS OF Facebook

FOLLOWERS AND TWITTER

FOLLOWERS.

NOW PEOPLE DON'T COME TO

OUR WEBSITE.

THEY COME TO OUR WEBSITE

THROUGH Facebook.

Reporter: THE RISK

COMPANIES TAKE TO BRING IN

YOUNG MANAGERS MAY RESULT

IN GROWING PAINS AT FIRST.

BUT IT IS A GENERATION

EQUIPPED TO STEP IN.

AND ADVICE: NEVER DOUBT

YOUR ABILITIES AND

REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS

MORE TO LEARN."

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.

Gordon: I'M NOT A

MILLENNIAL, BUT I'M

IDENTIFYING WITH THAT

31-YEAR-OLD.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO COME IN

AND BRING THIS KIND OF

CHANGE, TO REALIZE THAT

THE DIGITAL UNIVERSE IS A

WHOLE LOT BIGGER THAN ANY

KIND OF TV CHANNEL.

AND WHEN YOU START

EMBRACING THAT IDEA AND

SAYING DIGITAL FIRST IS

THE WAY TO GO, AND HERE IS

HOW YOU CAN GET THAT

MESSAGE OUT, IT IS

DISRUPTIVE CHANGE.

AND WE'RE INTO IT NOT ONLY

FROM A TECHNOLOGICAL

BASIS, BUT ALSO FROM A

MILLENNIAL BASIS, AS NEW

DIGITAL NATIVES ARE COMING

INTO THE WORKFORCE, AND

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE

WONDERFUL SKILLS THAT CAN

BE USED TO EFFECTIVELY

REACH A WHOLE NEW

GENERATION.

Wendy: I FOLLOW YOU

Wendy: IT'S A REALLY

GOOD SITE.

> COMING UP, HER DREAM

WAS TO GET ENGAGED AND

MARRIED ON THE SAME DAY.

HIS GOAL WAS TO MAKE IT

HAPPEN.

I BEGAN DOING RECON

WORK AND BEGAN TELLING A

FEW FRIENDS I WAS GOING TO

NEED SOME HELP TO BE ABLE

TO PULL THIS THING OFF.

Wendy: MEET THE

COUPLE WHO'S SURPRISE

WEDDING VIDEO WENT VIRAL

WITH 1.3 MILLION HITS.

RYAN AND AMANDA LEE WILL

JOIN US LIVE WHEN WE COME

BACK.

Wendy: WELL, JUST

THINK OF ALL OF THE

PLANNING THAT GOES INTO A

WEDDING.

NOW, IMAGINE A GUY

PROPOSING TO HIS

GIRLFRIEND AND GETTING

MARRIED TO HER IN A

SURPRISE WEDDING ALL ON

THE SAME DAY?

WHO DOES THAT?

TAKE A LOOK.

I HEAR MY GIRLFRIEND

SAY THAT HER DREAM WAS TO

GET ENGAGED AND MARRIED ON

THE SAME DAY.

AND MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS,

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?

Wendy: IN DAWNED ON

RYAN LEAK THAT IN ORDER TO

GET ENGAGED AND MARRY

AMANDA ON THE SAME DAY, HE

WOULD HAVE TO PLAN THE

ENTIRE WEDDING IN SECRET.

I BEGAN DOING RECON

WORK, AND TELLING A FEW

FRIENDS I WAS GOING TO

NEED SOME HELP TO BE ABLE

TO PULL THIS THING OFF.

Wendy: IN THEIR BOOK,

"THE ONE," RYAN AND AMANDA

SHARE THEIR PATH TO

MARRIAGE AND HOW EVERY

AMAZING LOVE STORY REALLY

STARTS WITH YOU.

AND PLEASE WELCOME THE

COUPLE WHO'S WEDDING VIDEO

GOT 1.3 MILLION HITS, RYAN

AND AMANDA LEAK.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING

US.

Wendy: AMANDA, RYAN

OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION

YOU WERE HAVING WITH A

GIRLFRIEND, AND YOU SAID I

WOULD LIKE TO GET ENGAGED

AND MARRIED ON THE SAME

DAY.

FIRST OF ALL, WHY WOULD

YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

IT IS A REALLY CRAZY

IDEA.

THE FRIEND I WAS SITTING

DOWN WITH WAS A WEDDING

PLANNER.

AND SHE SAID, EVERYBODY

THINKS IT IS SO GLAMOROUS,

BUT YOU END UP IN A CLOSET

WITH NO ENERGY.

AND I THOUGHT HOW CRAZY IT

WOULD BE THAT DAY AND

TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING

TOGETHER.

AND I KIND OF NONCHALANTLY

SAID, IT WOULD BE REALLY

COOL TO GET ENGAGED AND

MARRIED ON THE SAME DAY.

Wendy: RYAN TOOK IT

SERIOUSLY.

HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT KIND

OF WEDDING AMANDA WOULD

WANT?

WHEN SHE FIRST SAID IT,

I WAS KIND OF SHOCKING.

NEITHER ONE OF OUR

FAMILIES CAME FROM A TON

OF MONEY SO WE KNEW THE

WEDDING WOULD BE ON US.

SO I SAID, WHY DON'T YOU

WRITE EVERYTHING YOU WANT

IN A WEDDING SO WE CAN

BEGIN SAVING UP.

Wendy: WHICH DIDN'T

SEEM UNUSUAL AT THAT TIME

BECAUSE YOU WERE DATING

ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS.

EXACTLY.

Wendy: YOU DIDN'T

HAVE ANY SIGNALS HE WAS

DOING THIS?

NO.

I WAS IN SCHOOL FULL-TIME

AND WORKING FULL-TIME.

AND I WAS THINKING, I

WONDER WHER WHEN HE WAS GOING

TO PROPOSE OR WHERE IT WAS

GOING TO B

E AT.

I NEVER THOUGHT MY

BOYFRIEND WAS PLANNING A

WEDDING.

Wendy: RYAN, YOU

ALMOST HAD A MELTDOWN

RIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING.

WHAT HAPPENED?

ALMOST?

I HAD IT FOR SURE.

I'VE BEEN IN 12 WEDDINGS,

AND ALL 12 WEDDINGS THAT

I'VE BEEN IN, NONE OF THEM

HAVE GONE PERFECT.

SO YOU KNOW THAT THE PLANS

AREN'T GOING TO BE

PERFECT.

BUT I HAD NO ANTICIPATION

THAT HER FLIGHT WOULD GET

CANCELLED TO MIAMI, AND SO

ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND

FRIENDS HAVE ARRIVED

ACCEPT AMANDA.

AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT

SHE IS GETTING MARRIED.

SO SHE HAS NO URGENCY TO

GET TO MIAMI.

Wendy: AND YOU'RE,

LIKE, FREAKING OUT?

YEAH.

SHE IS WALKING AROUND THE

AIRPORT WITH STARBUCKS.

Wendy: SO YOU GET HER

ON A MIDNIGHT FLIGHT.

SHE GETS IN.

OKAY, THAT'S DONE.

SHE IS THERE.

YOU'VE FLOWN IN EVERY

FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIEND.

UH-HUH.

Wendy: AND THE NEXT

MORNING YOU PROPOSE TO

AMANDA AT THE HOTEL, LIKE

7:00 IN THE MORNING.

HOW EARLY WAS IT?

8 a.m.

Wendy: YOU GUYS MUST

BE MORNING PEOPLE.

WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH

YOUR MIND?

INITIALLY HE PROPOSED.

AND I ALWAYS SAID I WOULD

NEVER SAY, IS THIS FOR

REAL?

AND I ENDED UP SAYING IT.

AND YOU'RE IN SHOCK.

AND RYAN IS VERY QUICKLY

RUSHLY ME TO THE NEXT

SPOT.

AND I'M LOOKING AT HIM,

WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE TO

DO?

THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF

OUR LIVES.

LITTLE DO I KNOW, HE TAKES

ME TO A HALL AND A HUNDRED

OF OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

ARE THERE AND THEY ALL

YELL TODAY!

AND HE SAID, WILL YOU

MARRY ME TODAY?

Wendy: ARE YOU

THINKING BACK TO THE TIME

YOU TOLD YOUR FRIEND?

YES.

Wendy: AND OF COURSE

YOU SAID YES?

ABSOLUTELY.

Wendy: HOW DID YOU

FEEL DURING THE WEDDING?

HOW DID YOUR DRESS GET

THERE.

RYAN, YOU PACKED THE

DRESS?

I DIDN'T PACK THE

DRESS, BUT -- YOU CAN TELL

THE STORY.

HE HAD ALL OF MY

FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN ON

THIS.

THEY WERE TELLING ME, YOU

KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET

MARRIED, IT TAKES ALMOST A

YEAR TO FIND A DRESS.

SO A FRIEND SAID, LET'S

JUST GO LOOK.

I FOUND THE DRESS I

WANTED, AND RYAN ENDED UP

PURCHASING IT AND MY

FRIEND STOLE IT FROM MY

CLOSEST AND FLEW IT TO

FLORIDA WITH HER AND SNUCK

IT INTO THE HOTEL.

Wendy: BY THE WAY,

THE RING LOOKED PRETTY

NICE.

CAN WE TAKE A LOOK AT

THAT.

OH, MY GOODNESS, WOW!

THANK YOU.

[LAUGHTER]

Wendy: I'M GETTING

OFF TRACK NOW.

LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT BEFORE YOU GOT

MARRIED.

DATING FIVE YEARS, AND

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WENT

THROUGH SOME ROCKY TIMES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT

LOOKS LIKE A PERFECT LOVE

STORY, BUT IT REALLY

WASN'T UP UNTIL THE TIME

YOU GOT MARRIED.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, WE STARTED OFF

SUPER HOT.

I KNEW WITHIN THE FIRST

THREE DAYS.

I CALLED MY BROTHER AND

SISTER-IN-LAW, AND I SAID,

SHE'S THE ONE.

I'M GOING TO MARRY HER.

THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT

IT.

WE'LL PROBABLY BE MARRIED

WITHIN A YEAR.

WE WERE LONG DISTANCE THE

WHOLE TIME.

I HAD ONE YEAR LEFT OF

COLLEGE.

I WENT BACK AND I TOLD

EVERYBODY I'M OFF THE

MARKET.

I'M GRADUATE BE AND

GETTING MARRIED.

AND ONE DAY SHE GIVES ME A

PHONE CALL AND SAYS, HEY,

WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER

ANYMORE.

I WAS STUNNED AND DIDN'T

REALLY KNOW WHY.

BUT IN THE PUERTO RICAN

CULTURE, THERE CAN BE NOT

RACISM, BUT SOMETIMES

PUERTO RICANS SIMPLY WANT

THEIR KIDS TO MARRY PUERTO

RICANS.

SO IT WASN'T THAT I WAS

BLACK, BUT IT WAS THAT I

WAS NOT PUERTO RICAN.

IT WAS VERY, VERY

CHALLENGING.

BUT, ONE, WE HAD REALLY,

REALLY GREAT MENTORS WHO

COULD SPEAK INTO OUR LIVES

TO HELP US GET BACK ON

TRACK.

AND THE SECOND THING IS

YOU HAVE TO HAVE

CONFIDENCE IN WHO YOU ARE.

IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE

THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO

BE SOMEBODY, AND YOU HAVE

TO WALK IN THOSE SHOES AND

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO

OTHER PEOPLE.

Wendy: BUT YOUR MOM

IS TOTALLY ON BOARD RIGHT

NOW?

ABSOLUTELY.

SHE CALLS AND ASKS ABOUT

RYAN SOMETIMES MORE THAN

ME, BUT THAT IS FINE.

Wendy: YOU GUYS HAVE

WRITTEN AN AMAZING BOOK

CALLED "THE ONE."

AND YOU ALSO SPEAK TO

SINGLES.

WHAT'S THE NUMBER ONE

THING YOU TELL THEM ABOUT

LOOKING FOR THEIR MATE?

WELL, THE BOOK -- KIND

OF THE PREMISE PREMISE OF THE BOOK

IS SO OFTEN WE LOOK FOR

THE ONE.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO

BECOME THE ONE THAT

THAT

PERSON MIGHT BE

LOOKING

FOR.

WE SAY IN YOUR SINGLE

LIFE,

GO,

DO, TRAVEL THE

WORLD.

WE HAD AN AMAZING FRIEND

WHO WAS SINGLE, AND SHE

SAID, I'M GOING TO GO TO

INDIA.

AND SHE IS SPENDING A YEAR

IN INDIA.

WHEN SHE GETS BACK, SHE

HAS NO IDEA WHEN SHE SITS

DOWN WITH SOMEBODY AND

THEY SAY, WHAT HAVE YOU

BEEN DOING FOR A YEAR, SHE

CAN HAVE A MILLION STORIES

TO TELL.

SO SHE ADDED SO MUCH VALUE

TO HER PERSONAL LIFE OF

BECOMING THE ONE.

Wendy: THE LATEST

DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR

MARRIAGE IS A NEW BABY.

SEVEN MONTHS OLD?

YES, SEVEN MONTHS OLD.

Wendy: WHAT'S HIS

NAME?

JACKSON CARTER.

Wendy: THAT'S VERY

PRESIDENTIAL.

HE CAN BE A PRESIDENT

OR AN ACTOR --

OR AN AUTHOR, WHATEVER

HE WANTS TO BE.

Wendy: YOU'RE WEDDING

VIDEO IS STILL OUT THERE

GOING VIRAL.

IT IS A GREAT STORY WITH A

VERY HAPPY ENDING -- WELL,

THE ENDING IS STILL TO BE

TOLD.

WE'D LIKE TO ENCOURAGE

PEOPLE.

WE FEEL LIKE SO MANY

PEOPLE, WHEN IT COMES TO

RELATIONSHIPS, THEY'RE

TRYING TO FIGURE SO MUCH

OUT.

LIKE IT IS THIS GRAND

FORMULA.

BUT WE JUST FEEL LIKE YOUR

AMAZING LOVE STORY DOES

REALLY BEGIN WITH YOU.

AND THE DAY YOU WAKE UP

AND REALLY BE YOU, AND

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO

IMPRESS ANYBODY, IS ONE OF

GORDON AND WENDY WILL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Gordon: CAN YOU

REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU

WERE SHOCKED BY WHAT YOUR

PASTOR SAID?

WELL, THE MEMBERS OF

PEOPLE'S CHURCH IN

OKLAHOMA CAN.

ONE SUNDAY THEIR PASTOR,

HERBERT COOPER, MADE A

STUNNING CONFESSION:

REVEALING A LONG-KEPT

SECRET FROM HIS PAST.

I THINK I COULD HAVE

WENT TO MY GRAVE WITH JUST

COVERING IT UP, THAT

NOBODY WOULD KNOW WHAT I

HAD EXPERIENCED.

I GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN

CALLED WEWOKA, OKLAHOMA, A

TOWN OF ABOUT 4,000 TO

5,000 PEOPLE, WHERE

EVERYBODY KNEW EACH OTHER.

AT THE AGE OF 13, I WAS

SEXUALLY ABUSED, MOLESTED,

LIE A LADY FOR SEVERAL

MONTHS.

IT WAS SOMEONE OUR FAMILY

KNEW.

SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME.

I ACTUALLY LOST MY

VIRGINITY.

I HAD SO MANY EMOTIONS.

LITERALLY, IS THIS OKAY?

IS THIS RIGHT?

SHOULD THIS BE HAPPENING?

OBVIOUSLY I ENDED UP IN A

PLACE GOING, THIS IS

TOTALLY WRONG AND PAINFUL.

AND I DO NOT WANT TO

CONTINUE DOWN THIS ROAD.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET ONE

DAY SIMPLY TELLING THE

LADY, LEAVE ME ALONE.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

AND SHE ACTUALLY

THREATENED ME AND SAID,

I'M GOING TO TELL YOUR

PARENTS.

I JUST KNEW I DIDN'T WANT

TO CONTINUE -- I DIDN'T

WANT THIS TO CONTINUE TO

HAPPEN IN MY LIFE.

I LITERALLY TOLD HER NO,

SHOVED THE DOOR, FELL BACK

ON THE BED IN TEARS AND

CRIED.

THE ABUSE ENDED.

EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED TO

ME, IT WAS JUST SHAME AND

GUILT.

I WORKED REALLY HARD TO BE

THE COOL GUY.

I THREW MYSELF IN SPORTS

TO COVER UP THE PAIN.

I LIVED AND BREATHED

FOOTBALL.

I BUILT MY WORLD AROUND

FOOTBALL.

I REMEMBER THERE WAS A

FELLOWSHIFELLOWSHIP FOR THE

ATHLETES, AND I DIDN'T

CARE ABOUT JOB OR PIZZA OR

CHURCH, BUT I HEARD THEY

HAD FREE PIZZA.

AND THOMSON SO TOM THOMPSON WAS THE

SPEAKER THAT NIGHT, AND HE

SHARED THE GOOD NEWS, THE

HOPE THAT WAS IN CHRIST,

THAT HE LOVES US AND THERE

WAS HOPE THROUGH CHRIST.

MY HEART SOFTENED, AND

THAT NIGHT I GAVE MY HEART

TO CHRIST.

TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY

FACE.

I LITERALLY CRIED LIKE A

BABY AND I SURRENDERED MY

LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST.

I WALKED OUT OF THAT

LOCKER ROOM A DIFFERENT

PERSON.

MY LIFE WAS NO LONGER

WRAPPED UP IN FOOTBALL AND

CHASING GIRLS.

IT WAS NOW WRAPPED UP IN

KNOWING JESUS CHRIST,

LIVING FOR HIM.

I ENDED UP PLAYING

FOOTBALL ON A FOOTBALL

SCHOLARSHIP, BUT IT WASN'T

A DRIVING FORCE AND MY

LIFE.

JESUS BECAME THAT FORCE.

I GRADUATED WITH A BIBLE

DEGREE, WITH A MINOR IN

PSYCHOLOGY.

AND NOBODY KNOWS.

I WAS

BROKEN AND HURTING.

I WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED AT

THE AGE OF 13, AND I'M NOW

ENGAGED TO NOW MY WIFE,

TIFFANY.

IT WAS GOING THROUGH MY

MIND, YOU HAVE TO TELL

TIFFANY.

AND I'M FIGHTING, I DO NOT

WANT HER TO KNOW.

WHAT IF I TELL HER AND THE

ENGAGEMENT IS OFF.

WHAT IF I TELL HER AND SHE

DOESN'T ACCEPT ME?

BUT AT THAT MOMENT I SAID,

I CAN'T GO INTO A MARRIAGE

COVENANT WITHOUT TELLING

HER A HUGE PART OF WHAT

HAS SHAPED ME OR HAS LED

ME TO HAVE LACK OF TRUST.

THAT NIGHT IN THE CAR, I

TOLD TIFFANY, I WAS

SEXUALLY ABUSED.

SHE ASKED A COUPLE OF

QUESTIONS, AND I WASN'T

READY.

I WASN'T READY TO GO ON

WITH THE STORY AND WHAT

HAPPENED, AND SHE JUST

LEFT IT THERE.

AND SHE WAS OKAY WITH ME

OPENING UP WITH HER,

KNOWING SHE WAS THE FIRST

PERSON TO EVER KNOW.

IT COULD SOUND SO SIMPLE,

BUT IT WAS A HUGE HURTLE.

WHEN YOU'VE KEPT A SECRET

AND NOBODY HAS KNOWN, AND

NOW YOU'RE ACTUALLY

OPENING UP, IT WAS JUMPING

OVER A HUGE BARRIER.

WE GOT MARRIED AT THE AGE

OF 22 AND 20.

I TRAVELLED FULL-TIME AS

AN EVANGELIST FOR SIX OR

SEVEN YEARS.

AND THEN MY WIFE AND I

MOVED TO OKLAHOMA CITY.

AND WE STARTED A CHURCH

CALLED "PEOPLE'S CHURCH."

AND THEN I ENDED UP

TALKING TO A SMALL GROUP

OF MEN ABOUT THE ABUSE.

THESE TWO GUYS STILL

RESPECTED ME AND LOVED ME

AND ACCEPTED ME AS THEIR

PASTOR.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,

CONFESS YOUR FAULTS TO ONE

ANOTHER SO YOU CAN BE

HEALED.

SO IT IS THERAPEUTIC TO

CONFESSING.

I THINK FOR ME THE BIGGEST

HURTLE, WHEN I REALLY FELT

LIKE IT WENT FROM A WOUND

TO A SCAR, IS WHEN I SAID,

I CAN TELL THE CHURCH.

AT THAT POINT I KNEW I'VE

BEEN HEALED.

I'M WHOLE.

I'M FORGIVEN.

THE LADY HAS CALLED ME ON

A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS.

ONE TIME I TOOK THE CALL.

I TALKED TO HER ON THE

PHONE.

I WAS VERY KIND AND

CORDIAL.

I'M NOT ANGER OR MAD.

I'M ABLE TO FORGIVE.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T

FORGIVE THOSE WHO HURT

YOU, THEN YOUR HEAVENLY

FATHER WON'T FORGIVE YOU.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS

BETWEEN YOU AND

GOD.

I SAID, GOD, I WANT TO

FORGIVE.

AND IT CAN BE A PROCESS.

BUT AS YOU JOURNEY THROUGH

IT, GOD REALLY HELPS YOU

TO FORGIVE AND TO LET GO.

STATISTICS ARE HIGH.

ONE IN EVERY FOUR GIRLS,

AND ONE IN EVERY SIX BOYS,

BY THE AGE OF 18 WILL HAVE

BEEN ABUSED.

I WILL SAY, REALIZE IT IS

A JOURNEY, AND YOU'VE GOT

TO HAVE CHRIST AT THE

CENTER OF IT.

THERE IS HEALING IN THE

WORD OF GOD.

THERE IS HEALING BY BEING

IN CHURCH AND HEARING THE

WORD.

PURSUE GOD.

I WOULD SAY GET A GROUP OF

PEOPLE YOU CAN TALK TO.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE WORST

THINGS THAT HAPPENS, FOR

PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN

ABUSED, IS TO KEEP IT TO

YOURSELF.

DON'T LET THE SHAME OR THE

GUILT OR THE ENEMY OF YOUR

SOUL PLAY GAMES OF YOU,

THAT MAKE YOU FEEL THAT

NOBODY CAN KNOW.

YOU'VE GOT TO OPEN UP AND

TELL SOMEONE.

AND THEN WITH THE ANGER

AND THE BITTERNESS, I

WOULD SAY AS YOU SEEK GOD,

AS YOU OPEN YOUR HEART UP,

AND AS YOU TALK TO A SMALL

GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE

JESUS, THOSE FEELINGS WILL

CONTINUE TO GO AWAY.

AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL

CONTINUE TO SOFTEN YOUR

HEART.

I'M A LIVING TESTIMONY OF

THAT.

Gordon: HE'LL

CONTINUE TO POUR HIS JOY

AND HEALING POWER INTO

YOU.

NOW, HERBERT'S STORY GIVES

YOU THE JOURNEY OF HOW DO

YOU OVERCOME THINGS THAT

HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU.

EITHER THINGS THAT OTHER

PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO YOU,

OR THINGS THAT YOU'VE

DONE.

HOW DO YOU GET THROUGH IT?

AND YOU LISTEN TO HIS

STORY, AND THE FIRST TIME

HE EVER TOLD ANYBODY, HE

SAID IT WAS SUCH A BIG

HURTLE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE JOY IN

HIS EYES AND ON HIS FACE,

THAT AS HE REMEMBERS GOING

OVER THAT BIG HURTLE, HE

FINALLY GOT IT OUT.

THAT FIRST TIME, HE WASN'T

REALLY READY.

HE SAID, I CAN ONLY GO SO

FAR.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HE

GOT IT OUT.

AND IN THAT, WHAT HAD BEEN

FORMING HIM, WHAT HAD BEEN

SHAPING HIM, AND HE SAID,

THIS IS THE REASON I CAN'T

TRUST, BECAUSE OF WHAT HAD

HAPPENED TO HIM.

AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES

WITH THAT, THE GUILT, THE

SHAME, THE COVERING UP, I

CAN'T LET ANYBODY KNOW --

ALL OF THOSE THINGS KEEP

US TRAPPED IN A MOMENT

FROM OUR PAST.

AND THEN YOU HEARD HIM

WHEN HE SAID, I FINALLY

GOT IN FRONT OF THE

CHURCH.

AND AT THAT POINT THE

WOUND BECAME A SCAR.

AND I WAS ABLE TO FIND

HEALING.

AT THAT MOMENT OF

TRANSPARENCY, THIS IS WHO

I AM.

THIS IS HOW I GOT HERE.

AND THIS IS WHAT JESUS IS

DOING FOR ME.

THAT MOMENT BROUGHT

HEALING TO HIM.

YOU FIND THIS, THE SAME

PATTERN, IN THE BIBLE.

HERE IT IS FROM JAMES, AND

JAMES IS THE BROTHER OF

JESUS.

AND HE IS WRITING TO THE

EARLY CHURCH, AND HE IS

GIVING THEM EXAMPLES OF

WHAT TO DO.

AND HE SAYS IN CHAPTER 5:

"CONFESS YOUR TRESPASSES,

YOUR SINS, TO ONE ANOTHER

AND PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED.

THE AFFECT OF FERVENT

PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN

AVAILS MUCH."

THERE IS A REAL LINK HERE

WHEN YOU CONFESS AND PRAY

FOR ONE ANOTHER, YOU CAN

BE HEALED.

AND THEN FROM THAT POINT

OF HEALING, THE AFFECTIVE,

FERVENT PRAYER OF A

RIGHTEOUS MAN, YOU CAN

FINALLY WALK FREE OF IT.

THAT'S THE VALUE OF

CONFESSION.

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO

CONFESS OUR SINS.

BECAUSE IT GETS US FREE

FROM IT.

YOU BREAK FREE FROM IT.

WHEN YOU START LETTING

PEOPLE IN ON THAT SECRET,

THAT YOU DON'T WANT

ANYBODY TO KNOW, YOU'VE

NOW TAKEN THAT CONTROL

THAT SECRET HAS OVER YOU

AND YOU'VE OPENED IT UP TO

THE LIGHT, AND AT THAT

POINT YOU CAN BE HEALED.

IT IS A GREAT MYSTERY, WHY

IT WORKS THIS WAY, BUT IT

WORKS.

BECAUSE SIN LIKES TO HIDE

IN THE DARKNESS AND BRING

SISHAME, CONDEMNATION AND

GUILT.

AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GET

IT OUT, YOU CAN BE HEALED.

NOW, THERE ARE SOME STEPS

HERE BECAUSE CONFESSION IS

NOT EASY.

AND YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

WHO YOU CONFESS TWO.

AND WE'VE ALL HEARD THE

STORIES OF SO AND SO WHO

CONFESSED TO SUCH AND

SUCH, AND THERE IS A

REPUTATIONAL ISSUE HERE.

THE OLD PROVERB THAT

CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE

SOUL, BUT IT IS BAD FOR

THE REPUTATION.

SO PICK WHO YOU TELL IT

TO.

AND IN THAT CHOICE THAT

YOU MAKE, YOU'RE CHOOSING

TO TRUST SOMEBODY ELSE.

AND YOU'RE CHOOSING TO

ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP

WITH THEM ON A VERY DEEP

LEVEL, ON A VERY SPIRITUAL

LEVEL.

YOU'RE LITERALLY TRUSTING

THEM WITH YOUR SOUL AND

WITH YOUR LIFE, AND YOU'RE

SAYING, I WANT TO TELL YOU

SOMETHING AND I WANT TO BE

FREE FROM IT.

WILL YOU HELP ME?

WILL YOU PRAY FOR ME?

THE OTHER THING ABOUT

CONFESSION IS ONCE IT'S

DONE AND ONCE IT'S OVER,

REALIZE THAT YOU'VE BEEN

HEALED.

AND YOU'RE FREE FROM IT.

I WORRY WHEN I HEAR

SOMEBODY CONTINUALLY

CONFESSING.

HAVE THEY REALLY RECEIVED

THE FORGIVENESS?

HAVE THEY REALLY

UNDERSTOOD THAT WHAT

HAPPENED IS NOW UNDER THE

BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST?

IT NO LONGER IS A WITNESS

AGAINST THEM.

DO THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND

THAT?

GET THAT.

GET THAT UNDERSTANDING,

THAT WHO THE SON SETS FREE

IS FREE INDEED.

SO WHAT ARE THE STEPS?

CONFESS YOUR SINS.

FIND SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN

CONFESS TO, THAT YOU

TRUST, THAT YOU KNOW CAN

KEEP A SECRET.

CONFESS YOUR SINS.

HAVE THEM PRAY FOR YOU.

AND RECEIVE THE HEALING

YOU NEED SO IT INTO LONGER

SHAPES YOU, IT NO LONGER

CONTROLS YOU.

YOU CAN TURN THAT WOUND

INTO A SCAR AND INTO A

WONDERFUL HEALING.

IT CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU.

IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT

YOU WANT TO GET FREE OF,

AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT

WHO CAN I TALK TO, WE'RE

HERE FOR YOU.

THE NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.

1-888-777-1999.

YOUR NAME.

BUT CALL AND GET FREE FROM

THIS.

WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS

HOLDING YOU BACK, EVEN IF

IT IS SOMETHING YOU SAY,

NO ONE CAN FORGIVE THIS,

REALIZE THAT JESUS SAID

THAT YOUR SINS CAN BE

FORGIVEN.

YOU CAN BE SET FREE FROM

IT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO CONTROL

YOU ANYMORE.

CALL US: 1-888-777-1999.

LIVING IN AMERICA HAVE NO

IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE

HUNGRY DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

FOR A YOUNG BOY IN PERU,

NAMED JOHN, HUNGER IS A

WAY OF LIFE.

Reporter: JOHN IS

GROWING FAST AND HE IS

ALWAYS HUNGRY.

SOMETIMES I GET SO

HUNGRY, MY STOMACH HURTS

AND I GET A HEADACHE.

Reporter: AS A WIDOW,

IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR

JOHN'S MOM TO PROVIDE FOR

HER KIDS.

SOMETIMES SHE HAS HAD TO

SELL THEIR CLOTHES TO GET

MONEY TO BUY THEIR FOOD.

ON OTHER DAYS, SHE CAN

ONLY AFFORD TO FEED THEM

ONE SMALL MEAL.

JOHN'S GRANDMA HELPS WHEN

SHE CAN.

I REMEMBER ONE DAY THAT

MY GRANDMA GAVE ME A PLATE

OF SPAGHETTI, AND I WANTED

TO EAT IT, BUT I KNEW MY

SISTER WAS HUNGRY, TOO, SO

I WENT TO SHARE IT WITH

HER.

Reporter: AFTER HER

HUSBAND DIED, CARMEN HAD

TO SELL HER SMALL BAKERY

TO PAY FOR THE MEDICAL

BILLS.

WITH NO INCOME, H SHE HAD A

HARD TIME FIXING HER

HOUSE.

"OPERATION BLESSING" BUILT

HER A BRAND NEW OVEN AND

GAVE HER EVERYTHING SHE

NEEDED TO MAKE LOTS OF

DIFFERENT PASTUR PASTRIES.

SHE HAS TRIPLED THE AMOUNT

OF MONEY SHE USED TO MAKE.

AND THEN TO HELP THE

FAMILY TO HAVE A SAFE

PLACE TO LIVE, WE BUILT

THEM A NEW HOME.

TO ME, THE HOUSE AND

THE BUSINESS IS A GREAT

GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN

ME.

AND IT IS VERY VALUABLE TO

US.

THANKS TO "OPERATION

BLESSING" BECAUSE NOW WE

EAT DELICIOUS FOOD AND

LOTS OF IT.

Wendy: I LIKE THAT,

AND LOTS OF IT.

WANT TO BLESS YOU BACK

WITH PAT'S NEW TEACHING

CALLED "THE TRANSFORMING

WORD," IT IS A D.V.D. AND

A C.D.

YOU CAN POP THIS IN YOUR

CAR AND LISTEN TO IT ON

YOUR WAY TO WORK.

THIS IS YOURS WHEN YOU

CALL US RIGHT NOW.

GORDON?

Gordon: ALL RIGHT.

IT IS TIME FOR SOME "BRING

IT ON" QUESTIONS.

Wendy: WHAT ARE YOU

GOING TO ASK ME?

Gordon: I'M GOING TO

ASK YOU --

Wendy: NO, NO.

Gordon: WHY DOES THE

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION

OF THE BIBLE AVOID MATTHEW

17, VERSE 21, VERSES THE

KING JAMES VERSION.

IS IT NOT THE WORD OF GOD?

HELP ME UNDERSTAND."

Wendy: WHY WOULD THEY

DO THAT?

BECAUSE THEY MESSED UP.

THE WORD OF GOD NEEDS TO

STAY IN THE WORD, NO

MATTER WHAT THE VERSION OF

THE BIBLE.

Gordon: WELL, HERE IT

IS.

HERE IS THE VERSE.

IF YOU HAVEN'T MEMORIZED

MATTHEW 17, JESUS SAID TO

THEM, BECAUSE OF YOUR

UNBELIEF, IF YOU HAVE THE

FAITH AS A MUSTARD SEED,

WILL SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN,

MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE,

AND IT WILL MOVE, AND

NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE

FOR YOU.

AND HERE IS 21, THIS IS

THE VERSE THAT THE N.I.V.

DOES NOT HAVE, "HOWEVER

THIS KIND DOES NOT GO OUT

EXCEPT BY PRAYER AND

FASTING."

IN THE N.I.V., THEY GO

FROM VERSE 20 TO VERSE 22.

THE CONTEXT IS A MAN

BROUGHT A DEMON-POSSESSED

CHILD TO THE DISCIPLES,

AND THE DISCIPLES COULDN'T

CAST IT OUT.

AND SO THEY BRING IN

JESUS, AND HE DOES, AND

THE DISCIPLES ARE GOING,

WHY?

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

THE TEXT HERE -- AND THE

REASON THE N.I.V. LEAVES

IT OUT IS THERE IS AN

OLDER MANUSCRIPT THAN THE

ONE THE KING JAMES VERSION

USED THAT DOESN'T HAVE

THAT VERSE IN IT.

DON'T GET CONFUSED BY

THIS.

IT IS NOTHING TO BE

CONFUSED ABOUT.

ARE THERE TEXTURAL

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE

ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS?

THE ANSWER IS YES.

AND THE OTHER ANSWER IS

YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL AND

THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED BY

SCHOLARS IN SOME VERSIONS

OF THE ENGLISH

TRANSLATIONS OF THE

MANUSCRIPTS LEAVE THOSE

PASSAGES OUT, AND SOME

INCLUDE THEM IN.

BUT IN TODAY'S MODERN

WORLD WITH ALL OF THE

GREEK AND HEBREW RESOURCES

THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL

OF US ONLINE, WE CAN ALL

JUDGE FOR OURSELVES AND GO

BACK TO THE ORIGINAL

MANUSCRIPT AND FIND OUT

WHAT DO SOME TRANSLATIONS

LEAVE IT OUT AND WHY DO

SOME INCLUDE IT.

I LOVE JUST THE CLEAR WORD

OF JESUS, "BECAUSE OF YOUR

UNBELIEF," SO BE

BELIEVING.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE

WORDS FROM GALATIANS: "LET

US NOT GROW WEARY WHILE

DOING GOOD FOR IN DUE

SEASON WE SHALL REAP IF WE

DO NOT LOSE HEART."
