Efrem: SECONDS AWAY
FROM "STUDIO 5"...
YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR
GOD, YOU TALK IN CIRCLES.
Efrem: WE'RE ON THE
SET FOR THE MAKING OF THE
CASE FOR CHRIST.
THIS IS ME DOING LEE
STROBEL.
Efrem: AND...
* WHAT THE GREAT I AM SAYS
YOU ARE *
Efrem: SINGER JASON
BEAR STOPPED BY TO "STUDIO
5" TO SAMPLE HIS LATEST
PROJECT.
I WOULD JUST PRAY, GOD,
HELP ME FIND A WAY AROUND
THIS.
Efrem: AND THEN THIS
FILM BRINGS TOGETHER
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, REESE
WITHERSPOON, AND SCARLETT
JOHANSSON.
"STUDIO 5" IS ON BOARD
WITH "SING," STARTING NOW.
*
Efrem: AND WELCOME TO
THE SHOW.
WE HAVE FIVE UPLIFTING
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS STORIES
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT.
WE'RE COUNTING THEM DOWN
THROUGHOUT THE SHOW.
LET'S.
Gill: BEGIN WITH NUMBER
FIVE AND NUMBER FOUR.
AT NUMBER FIVE...GARNERING
GOVERNMENT ACTION.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR
SCHEDULE IS GOING TO BE
WITH THE DOCTOR.
WE JUST HAVE TO BE
AVAILABLE.
Efrem: JENNIFER
GARNER TAKES A BREAK FROM
MOVIES TO ADDRESS
CONGRESS.
POVERTY IS SILENT.
I MEAN THAT QUITE
LITERALLY.
Efrem: THE ACTRESS
AND MOM URGED LEGISLATORS
TO SUPPORT EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION.
A BRAIN IMPOVERTY IS UP
AGAINST IT.
A CHILD WHO IS NOT
TOUCHED, WHO IS NOT SPOKEN
TO OR READ TO OR SUNG TO
IN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF
HIS OR HER LIFE WILL NOT
FULLY RECOVER.
Efrem: AT NUMBER
FOUR...DANCING WITH FAITH.
SIMONE BILES AND HER
PARTNER TANGOED THEIR WAY
UP THE TOP OF THE LEADER
BOARD.
AND RASHAD JENNINGS AND
HIS PARTNER ALSO TOPPED
THE LEADER BOARD.
Efrem: THEY ARE TOP
SCORES ON THE DANCE FLOOR
AND IN FAITH.
BOTH HAVE SHARED THEIR
PERSONAL STORIES WITH US.
I WAS TAUGHT YOU CAN GO
TO HIM FOR ANYTHING AND HE
IS THE ONE THAT DIRECTS
YOUR LIFE.
I TRY MY HARDEST TO
LIVE MY LIFE FROM THE
REFERENCE OF SCRIPTURES.
EVERY DAY I'VE GOT TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND SAY, THAT'S THE GUY
I'M TRYING TO BECOME.
Efrem: THOSE ARE JUST
THE FIRST TWO.
MORE TO COME IN A BIT.
> THE CASE FOR CHRIST IS
AN AWARD-WINNING STORY OF
AN INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTER'S UNCONSENTUAL
JOURNEY TO SOUTH ASIA.
HE WAS A SWORN ENEMY OF
RELIGION WHEN HIS WIFE
BECAME A CHRISTIAN, AND
HER FAITH PUT HIM ON A
TWO-YEAR INVESTIGATION.
HE NEVER COULD HAVE
PREDICTED HOW THAT JOURNEY
WOULD END, AND THE REAL
LIFE STORY IS NOW A MAJOR
MOTION PICTURE.
THERE WERE SO MANY
REASONS WHY I DIDN'T WANT
THERE TO BE A GOD.
Efrem: MILLIONS READ
LEE STROBEL'S "THE CASE
FOR CHRIST."
AND IT IS NOW A MOVIE.
I SPENT MY ENTIRE
CAREER AS A JOURNALIST,
UNCOVERING THE TRUTH.
UNTIL THE DAY MY WIFE
PRESENTED ME WITH THE
BIGGEST STORY OF MY LIFE.
I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE
MY WIFE AND MY KIDS TO
SOMETHING I CAN'T EVEN
REASON WITH.
AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
CHANGED ME FOREVER.
TO SEE YOUR LIFE PUT ON
A SCREEN, NOT JUST RANDOM
THINGS FROM YOUR LIFE, BUT
THOSE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS OF
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE
UGLY.
THE CONFLICT THAT WE HAD
AFTER LESLIE BECAME A
CHRISTIAN AND I WAS STILL
AN ATHEIST.
THE ARGUMENTS.
TO SEE THAT RELIVED IS
DIFFICULT FOR US TO WATCH.
THERE IS A SCENE WHERE
LEE HAS THIS BIG ARGUMENT
WITH HIS DAD, AND THAT
HAPPENED ON THE EVE OF
GRADUATION FOR HIM.
AND WHEN THAT ARGUMENT WAS
OVER, HE CAME OVER TO MY
HOUSE, SO I HEARD ALL
ABOUT IT.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I ACTUALLY OBSERVED IT.
HOW CAN WE TALK ABOUT
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR
THE RESURRECTION?
THE GOSPELS ARE FILLED
WITH CONTRADICTION.
THE EMPTY TOMB IS BASED
ON EVIDENCE.
Efrem: A RE-CREATION
OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
NEWSROOM, WHERE AN
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
BEGAN PUTTING FAITH ON
TRIAL.
YOU WANT YOUR WIFE
BACK?
GUESS WHAT, NO EVERYONE
GETS EVERYTHING THEY WANT.
STOP BLAMING ME OR THE
CHURCH OR GOD AND DO YOUR
JOB.
STACK UP THE EVIDENCE,
THE FACTS, AND WRITE THIS
STORY, WIN OR LOSE.
Efrem: ACTOR MIKE
VOGEL PLAYS THE ROLE OF
LEE.
HE CHATTEDED BETWEE CHATTED WITH US BETWEE
N
TAKES.
THIS IS ME DOING LEE
STROBEL IN MY BEST RON
BURGUNDY.
IT IS GREAT AS AN ACTOR,
WHENEVER YOU GET TO DO A
TRANSFORMATION LIKE THIS,
BECAUSE IT HELPS THROW YOU
INTO THE PART.
Efrem: LEE'S
TRANSFORMATIONAL STORY
REALLY BEGINS THE DAY HIS
WIFE FALLS IN LOVE WITH
ANOTHER MAN, JESUS.
COUGH, BABY.
COUGH, BABY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
THANK YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK
ME.
SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE
NOW.
I'M LUCKY.
WELL, IT'S NOT LUCK.
IT'S JESUS.
LESLIE BECAME A
CHRISTIAN, AND LEE THOUGHT
HIS WORLD WAS ENDING.
SHE DROPPED A BOMB ON HIM.
HE'S THIS VERY MUCH
RADICAL ATHEIST WHO HAD NO
LOVE FOR THE CHURCH, NO
LOVE FOR CHRISTIANITY AT
ALL, AND HIS WIFE COMES
HOME AND SAYS, I'M A
CHRISTIAN NOW.
WHEN LESLIE TOLD ME SHE
HAD BECOME A CHRISTIAN,
THE FIRST WORD THAT WENT
THROUGH MY MIND WAS
DIVORCE.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO
BE MARRIED TO A CHRISTIAN.
I WAS AN ATHEIST.
I THOUGHT CHRISTIANITY WAS
BASED ON WISHFUL THINKING,
ON MAKE-BELIEVE, AND I
DIDN'T WANT HER TO TURN
INTO SOME HOLY ROLLER THAT
I DIDN'T MARRY.
I MARRIED THE ONE LESLIE.
IT WASN'T IN THE DEAL TO
CHANGE.
SO I THOUGHT, I'M JUST
GOING TO WALK OUT.
Reporter Efrem: BUT INSTEAD OF
OF WALKING OUT, HE
LAUNCHES AN INVESTIGATION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAME
OUT?
BLOOD AND WATER.
WHICH WE NOW KNOW IS A
DESCRIPTION OF PERICARDIO
INFUSION.
THIS IS NOT A CONDITION
ANYONE COULD FAKE.
WOULD THIS ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION?
YES.
IT IS MY MEDICAL OPINION
THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED ON
THAT CROSS.
Efrem: BUT BEYOND
MEDICINE AND SCIENCE, IT
IS THE HEART OF LEE'S WIFE
THAT LEADS HIM TO THE
ANSWERS HE NEEDS.
SHE REFUSED TO STOP
PRAYING UNTIL HER HUSBAND
FOUND THE GOD SHE HAD.
IT REALLY WAS THE
POSITIVE CHANGES IN HER
CHARACTER AND VALUES THAT
I FOUND WINSOME AND
STREACATTRACTIVE OVER TIME.
IT'S ABOUT A STORY.
IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP.
IT'S ABOUT A CONVERSATION
AND DIALOGUE AND RELATING
TO EACH OTHER.
THE LOVE STORY THAT IS
AT THE HEART OF THIS MOVIE
IS WHAT REALLY DREW ME TO
IT.
I LOVED THE FACT THIS WAS
A STORY THAT WAS TAKING A
VERY HONEST APPROACH TO
FAITH, BUT THAT THE
EMOTIONAL STAKES WERE
EMBEDDED IN A HUSBAND AND
WIFE WHO ARE SEPARATED BY
HER BELIEF AND ULTIMATELY
BROUGHT BACK TOGETHER AS
HE FINDS A COMMON BELIEF.
Efrem: THIS IS A LOVE
STORY THAT RAISES THE HARD
QUESTIONS.
IF THE RESURRECTION OF
JESUS DIDN'T HAPPEN...
Efrem: WITHOUT FEAR
OF THE ANSWER.
> "THE CASE FOR CHRIST"
HITS THEATERS APRIL 7th.
> STILL AHEAD ON "STUDIO
5"...
*
* THERE IS A STILL VOICE
WHISPERING *
Efrem: JASON BEAR
SETS THE STAGE IN THIS
WEEK'S "STUDIO 5's" 'ONE
Efrem: AND WELCOME
BACK TO "STUDIO 5."
IT IS TIME FOR NUMBER
THREE AND NUMBER TWO IN
THE COUNTDOWN.
AT NUMBER THREE...A NEW
KID ON SESAME STREET.
FOR MANY OF US, THESE
OPENING NOTES ARE A TRIP
DOWN MEMORY LANE.
IN A FEW WEEKS SESAME
STREET, WHICH NOW AIRS ON
HBO AS WELL AS IT'S
LONG-TIME HOME ON PBS,
WILL TAKE ON ITS LATEST
CHALLENGE: INTRODUCING A
NEW KID ON THE STREET, A
MUPPET NAMED JEWE JULIA WHO HAS
AUTISM.
WHO IS THIS?
THIS IS JULIA.
I THINK IT IS GREAT,
ANY TIME THAT WE CAN SHOW
A DISABILITY AS A NATURAL
PART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
OUR ENVIRONMENT.
Efrem: AT NUMBER
TWO...TAMMY THANKS GOD.
* GOD KNOWS I TRY TO BE
HAPPY FOR YOU *
Efrem: POP STAR DEMI
LAVATO THANKS GOD FOR HER
SOBRIETY.
HE SHARES SHE HAS BEEN
SOBER FOR FIVE YEARS.
NOTING IN MOMENTS OF
TEMPTATION TO RELAPSE, SHE
WOULD SIT ON HER HANDS AND
BEG GOD TO RELIEVE THE
OBSESSION.
Efrem: WE'RE JOINED
NOW BY JASON BEAR, SINGER
AND SONGWRITER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME.
Efrem: THE NEW ALBUM,
"FEARLESS," WHY FEARSLESS?
TO BE HONEST -- LET ME
START AT THE BEGINNING.
FOR YEARS, ONE OF THE
BIGGEST THINGS I HAVE
FOUGHT IN MY LIFE AND IN
MY CHRISTIAN WALK WAS
FEAR.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
IN THE CHURCH THAT ARE
BEING ATTACKED BY THIS
THING CALLED FEAR.
IT SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST TOOLS THE ENEMY IS
USING TO BREAK US DOWN,
HOLD AS BACK, TO KEEP US
FROM ACHIEVING THE THINGS
GOD HAS CALLED US TO.
I THINK THE BIGGEST
MESSAGE I CAN BRING FOR
THE BODY OF CHRIST IS, YOU
CAN LIVE FEARLESS.
HE HAS ALREADY OVERCOME.
I WANT TO SHARE THE
MESSAGE.
Efrem: PEOPLE MAY BE
SURPRISED YOU MAY HAVE
EXPERIENCED FEAR BEING
THAT YOU WERE AND A
SINGING COMPETITION AT AGE
17, AND THREE-TIME
BILLBOARD TOP TEN SINGER
AND SONGWRITER AS AN
INDEPENDENT ARTIST.
YES.
Efrem: HOW DO YOU
CONQUER FEAR AND BECOME
THAT?
THE FUNNY THING IS
DURING ALL OF THAT, STAGE
FRIGHT IS ONE OF MY
BIGGEST THINGS.
I SHUTTER AD THE THOUGHTEDED AT THE
THOUGHT OF GETTING UP IN
FRONT OF PEOPLE.
BUT THAT STAGE FRIGHT
SEEMED TO KEEP SURFACING
AND SURFACING, AND I WOULD
PRAY, GOD, HELP ME FIND A
WAY AROUND THIS.
EVEN WITH THE ACCOLADES
AND THE SUCCESSES, YOU
STILL FIGHT THROUGH THOSE
THINGS.
NONE OF THAT CHANGES THAT.
YOU CAN TOP THE CHARTS AS
MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT TO,
BUT THAT THING DEEP INSIDE
MAKES YOU THINK, CAN I
REALLY DO THIS?
BUT SOMEHOW WE KEEP
PUSHING AND FIGHTING AND
GIVE IT THE BEST WE HAVE.
AND I REALIZE THAT GOD
CALLED ME, AND IF HE
CALLED ME, HE EQUIPPED ME.
AND HE IS GOING TO GIVE ME
WHAT I NEED FOR EXACTLY
WHAT HE CALLED ME TO DO.
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, HE
HELPS US MAKE THE
CONNECTIONS, AND GET THE
MUSIC IN THE RIGHT HANDS
AT THE RIGHT TIME SO WE
CAN HAVE THOSE SUCCESSES.
Efrem: ONE THAT I'VE
BEEN LISTENING TO, "ON
THIS I STAND."
TELL ME ABOUT THAT SONG.
IT IS ONE OF THE TOKEN
SONGS ON THIS NEW RECORD
BECAUSE IT IS THE
FOUNDATION FOR WHO WE ARE
AS CHRISTIANS AND
BELIEVERS.
THE ONE THING WE CAN GO
BACK TO WHEN FEAR TRIES TO
GRIP US AND THINGS TRY TO
OVERTAKE US, IS ALWAYS
REMEMBERING THAT GOD NEVER
CHANGES.
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE
FACING, HOW BIG THE
MOUNTAIN MAY SEEM, HOW
DIFFICULT THE SITUATION
IS, GOD IS NEVER CHANGING,
AND HE IS STILL BIGGER
THAN THAT PROBLEM.
Efrem: DO YOU HAVE A
FAVORITE SONG?
GOODNESS, I HAVE
SEVERAL FAVORITE SONGS ON
THIS RECORD.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME EVER
I CAN SAY THAT.
I THINK TODAY ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SONGS ON THIS
RECORD IS CALLED "MIGHTY
REDEEMER."
THE REASON BEING IS
BECAUSE WE MAKE SO MANY
DECISIONS IN OUR LIFE.
WE MAKE MISTAKES.
WE FAIL.
WE GET BACK UP.
WE TRY AGAIN.
WE FAIL AGAIN.
BUT THROUGH IT ALL, WE
SERVE A GOD THAT PAID THE
PRICE, THE ULTIMATE PRICE.
HE SHOWED US WHAT MERCY
WAS WHEN HE GAVE HIS LIFE
ON THE CROSS.
SO HE TOOK EVERYTHING,
EVERY DECISION WE MAKE,
ALL OF THE RIGHT, ALL THE
WRONG, ALL OF THE GOOD,
BAD, AND THE UGLY, AND HE
REDEEMS EVERY BIT OF IT
FOR HIS GOOD.
* IN THE TIMES OF
STRUGGLE *
* GRACE IS LIKE IT IS
SOMEWHERE OUT OF REACH *
* WHEN THE FAILURES ARE
ALL THAT CAN BE SEEN *
* THERE IS STILL A VOICE
WHISPERING *
* YOU ARE LOVED
* YOU ARE REDEEMED
* YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU'VE
BEEN MADE CLEAN *
* THERE IS NOTHING CAN
CHANGE *
* WHAT THE GREAT I AM SAYS
YOU ARE *
Efrem: MY LAST
QUESTION FOR YOU: AS A
SONGWRITER, WHAT IS YOUR
PROCESS?
HOW DOES IT COME TO YOU?
DIFFERENT WAYS.
SOMETIMES IT IS SOMETHING
THAT INSPIRES ME, WHETHER
I SEE IT IN A MOVIE OR ON
A BILLBOARD SOMEWHERE OR A
THOUGHT THAT HITS ME WHILE
I'M DRIVING DOWN THEED
ROAD.
AND THEN SOMEHOW THE LYRIC
AND CHORDS START FORMING.
AND THEN IT HAPPENS IN
CO-WRITING SESSIONS WITH
PEOPLE IN NASHVILLE.
AND WE SIT IN A ROOM AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS
GENIUS IDEA COMES INTO THE
ROOM AND WE KNOW IT IS GOD
SPEAKING.
Efrem: INDEED.
ABSOLUTELY.
> STILL AHEAD, ON
"STUDIO 5"...
MY NEXT ROLE IS GOING
TO BE -- DRUMROLL,
PLEASE -- A SINGING
COMPETITION.
Efrem: MEET THE
ALL-STAR CAST BEHIND THE
HIT ANIMATED FILM.
MY IMAGINATION WAS
RUNNING, AND I WAS SORT OF
Efrem: WELCOME BACK
TO "STUDIO 5."
WE ARE CONTINUING TO COUNT
DOWN THE UPLIFTING
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS STORIES
THIS WEEK.
IT IS NOW TIME FOR NUMBER
ONE.
AT NUMBER ONE THIS
WEEK...THE BOOK OF JOHN
GREY.
AND WE ARE HERE TO
CELEBRATE "SATURDAY NIGHT
LIVE".
[APPLAUSE]
Efrem: LAKEWOOD
CHURCH ASSOCIATE PASTOR
JOHN GREY HAS A NEW
REALITY SERIES ON THE "O"
NETWORK.
SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU
NEED TO BE PERFECT TO BE A
PREACHER.
I'M ANYTHING BUT.
JOHN HASN'T TAKEN THE
DIABETES SERIOUSLY.
IT SCARES ME.
I'M FIGHTING A WAR
BETWEEN LIGHT AND
DARKNESS.
Efrem: PASTOR GREY
GIVES VIEWERS
UNPRECEDENTED AND INTIMATE
ACCESS INTO HIS CHURCH AND
HOME LIFE.
I PREACH LIGHT BECAUSE
I'M FIGHTING THE DARKNESS
ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING
ON IN SOCIETY, GOD HAS NOT
FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU.
Efrem: THE SERIES
PREMIERES APRIL 15th.
AND THAT IS NUMBER ONE IN
THE COUNTDOWN, BUT THERE
IS SO MUCH MORE AHEAD.
> MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY,
REESE WITHERSPOON,
SCARLETT JOHANSSON IN A
MUSICAL?
"SING" IS AN ANIMATED
MOVIE.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT,
HERE IS YOUR FIRST LOOK.
GOOD MORNING, MR. MOON.
I GOT JUDAS FROM THE BANK
ON LINE TWO.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
CALL HER BACK.
A KOALA BEAR NAMED
"BUSTA MOVE."
WHAT DO I DO?
A CAR WASH?
YOU'VE GOT TO COME UP
WITH SOME BRILLIANT IDEA
TO PULL IT OFF TO KEEP THE
THEATER OPEN.
MY NEXT SHOW IS GOING
TO BE -- DRUMROLL,
PLEASE -- A SINGING
COMPETITION.
ONE OF THE REALLY GREAT
THINGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE,
AND WHY IT IS GREAT FOR
CHILDREN, THERE IS A
CHARACTER IN THERE THAT
EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO
RELATE TO.
*
IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST
PITCH SHOW THIS CITY HAS
EVER SEEN.
EVERYONE GETS A SHOT AT
BEING A STAR LIVE ON
STAGE.
THIS SONG HAS GREAT
CHARACTERS THAT TEENAGERS
CAN RELATE TO, AND
GRANDPARENTS CAN SEE
THEMSELVES IN SOME.
I THINK IT IS A JOYFUL
EXPERIENCE.
WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL
THEM WHAT A GREAT SINGER I
AM.
YOU'RE A GREAT SINGER.
BY THE WAY, THE BATHROOM
SINK IS CLOGGED AGAIN.
THIS SINGING
COMPETITION GIVES HER
HOPE.
COME ON, YOU CAN DO
THIS.
*
* I'VE GOT NOTHING IN MY
BRAIN *
I LOVE THIS CHARACTER,
AND THE CHARACTER JOURNEY
IS WHAT REALLY DREW ME TO
WANT TO WORK ON THIS
PROJECT.
DAD, WAIT, I'M GETTING
THE MONEY.
I PROMISE.
MY CHARACTER IS SOMEONE
WHO ABSOLUTELY LOVES
SINGING, BUT HIS FATHER IS
ENCOURAGING HIM TO BE A
DRIVER FOR THE GANG HE IS
A PART OF.
HE IS A PART OF A GANG
ROBBING GORILLAS.
THE SONGS IN THE MOVIE
ARE SUCH GREAT SONGS.
THEY'RE REALLY DONE BY
BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT
ARTISTS.
* STAY WITH ME
AND THEN THERE IS THE
ELEPHANT WHO HAS SHYNESS,
WHICH IS SOMETHING SO MANY
CHILDREN HAVE TO SORT OF
BATTLE.
AND EVEN THOUGH IT ALL
WENT WRONG, I'LL STAND
BEFORE THE LORD IN SONG.
THE MAIN THEME IS
REALLY TO NOT LET FEAR
STOP YOU FROM DOING THE
THING YOU LOVE.
THIS IS IT, FOLKS.
YOU BETTER BE READY TO
WORK HARDER THAN YOU HAVE
EVER IN YOUR LIFE.
I LOVE TO SING, SO WHAT
BETTER MOVIE TO DO THAN A
MOVIE CALLED SING.
>* HALLELUJAH
DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
SING LIKE THAT, BEFORE A
REAL AUDIENCE?
THE WHOLE THING COMES
TOGETHER BRILLIANTLY.
* SO HERE'S MY NUMBER,
CALL ME MAYBE *
ARE YOU OKAY?
OH, YES.
IT IS REALLY FUNNY, AND
IT MAKES ADULTS LAUGH AS
WELL AS KIDS.
I THINK EVERYONE IS GOING
TO LOVE IT.
EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO RELATE TO
SOMETHING IN THIS MOVIE.
*
I'M SORRY.
Efrem: AND WE'RE
SHARING THIS STORY BECAUSE
"SING" IS NOW OUT ON
D.V.D. AND DIGITAL
DOWNLOAD AS OF MARCH
1st.
21st.
> UP NEXT ON "STUDIO
5"...
SOME THINGS ARE JUST
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Efrem: SITTING DOWN
WITH THE STAR OF "WAR
ROOM," FOR A LISTENING
LESSON YOU WON'T SOON
Efrem: WELCOME BACK
TO "STUDIO 5."
WE'RE JUST ABOUT OUT OF
TIME FOR THIS WEEK'S SHOW.
SO LET'S LOOK AHEAD TO
NEXT WEEK.
*
* NOTHING IS THE SAME
Efrem: THERE IS AN
AMAZING STORY BEHIND THIS
AMAZING VOICE.
AFTER MY BRAIN INJURY,
I COULDN'T MEMORIZE
ANYMORE.
YOU'VE SEEN "FINDING
NEMO," AND DORI, THAT IS
NOT AN EXAGGERATION.
I WOULD LITERALLY FORGET
THAT I ATE BREAKFAST,
GOING IN ANOTHER ROOM AND
GO BACK AND GO, OH, IT'S
MORNING AND EAT ANOTHER
BOWL OF CEREAL.
Efrem: SHE SHINES THE
LIGHT ON BRAIN INJURY, AND
UPLIFTS US ALL IN THE
PROCESS.
> THAT IS JUST ONE STORY
FROM NEAK WEEK'S RUNDOWN.
> TIME FOR THE FINAL
WORD, AND WE'RE GOING TO
HEAR FROM T.C. STALLINGS.
HE HAS A UNIQUE INSIGHT ON
WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE GOD
TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR
LIFE.
I BELIEVE IT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT GOD INFLUENCES
EVERYTHING YOU DO -- IT
JUST MEANS I YOU KNOW HE
EXISTS.
SATAN FEELS THE SAME WAY.
HE KNOWS WHO JESUS IS, BUT
HE AIN'T FOLLOWING HIM.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
OTHER DIFFERENT FAITHS
THAT SAY JESUS EXISTED,
BUT THEY DON'T BELIEVE
THAT THEY NEED TO FOLLOW
HIM.
THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT TO
DO.
SO FOR A PERSON WHO CALLS
THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN --
CHRISTIAN BY DEFINITION
MEANS CHRIST FOLLOWER.
HE INFLUENCES EVERYTHING.
HE LEADS EVERYTHING.
AND FOR ME, I WAS LIVING
WITH THE BELIEF.
THE THING IS, I DIDN'T
KNOW THIS ABOUT THE
LORDSHIP OF JESUS IN MY
LIFE, NEEDING TO BE WHERE
HE INFLUENCES ALL OF THESE
THINGS.
I JUST THOUGHT, OKAY, I
DIDN'T BELIEVE BEFORE, AND
NOW I BELIEVE IN GOD AND
JESUS, AND SO I'M GOOD TO
GO.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE
FINISH LINE, BUT, IN FACT,
IT WAS JUST THE START.
Efrem: SO LET'S GET
STARTED PLAYING ON GOD'S
TEAM, AND MAKE HIM NOT
JUST SAVIOR, BUT LORD OF
YOUR LIFE.
THAT IS THE FINAL WORD FOR
THIS EDITION OF "STUDIO
5."
UNTIL NEXT TIME, REACH OUT
AND TOUCH ME ON
FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND
INSTAGRAM, AND COME ON
BACK AND SEE
