- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Wendy] Coming up, theEagles' star quarterback.

- [Carson] I feel like I'm a gunslinger

and I'm willing to take chances.

- [Wendy] And he's not just bringing joy

to the Philly faithful.

- [Carson] I love thepassion that they bring.

That's what it's all about.

- [Wendy] Carson Wentztosses touchdowns back home.

- [Carson] I see kids wearing my jersey.

I was that kid.

- [Wendy] And around the world.

- [Carson] It's not always justabout what you say to them,

it's how you care for them,

how you show love and respect for them.

- [Wendy] On today's 700 Club.

(cinematic thematic music)

- There's chaos, ladies and gentlemen,

in the Anglo-Saxon democracies.

In America, chaos; inGreat Britain, chaos.

We'll be talking more about that

as this program continues.

But there's no smoking gun,so the Republicans say,

and the Democrats are doubling down

on the so called quid pro quo.

Both sides more deeply divided than ever.

What's the next step?

A house divided againstitself cannot stand.

Jenna Browder has the latest.

(cinematic thematic music)

- Both sides are divided.

Democrats are banning together

to build their case for impeachment,

while most Republicans

are coming to President Trump's defense.

- I found the allegationsdeeply disturbing.

I also found them very credible.

- [Jenna] This afterRepresentative Adam Schiff

and other members of theHouse Intelligence Committee

read through the whistleblower complaint

and after the release of the transcript

of Trump's phone call withthe president of Ukraine.

Democrats are insistingthere was quid pro quo.

Most Republicans, though,say there's no smoking gun.

- To impeach any president

over a phone call likethis would be insane.

- [Jenna] The transcriptshows President Trump

asking President Zelensky

to look into Democraticpresidential candidate

Joe Biden's actions as vice president

that allegedly might have helped

his son Hunter's businessdealings in Ukraine.

Trump also asks Zelenskyto work with his lawyer,

Rudy Giuliani, andAttorney General Bill Barr.

But Zelensky says he wasn't pressured.

- I think, and you read it,that nobody pushed me, yes.

- In other words, no pressure.

- [Jenna] The JusticeDepartment says President Trump

and the attorney generalnever spoke about the call

and Barr never contacted Ukraine.

- You take a look at thatcall, it was perfect.

I didn't do it.

There was no quid pro quo.

- [Jenna] Still, for the first time,

the majority of the House

now supports the impeachment inquiry.

William Ricciardella withthe Washington Examiner

tells CBN News it's all political.

- Nothing came out here.

Now you have Democrats in a frenzy.

They're doubling down onthe impeachment inquiry.

They really have no choice.

They can't come out and say,"Hey, look, you know what?

"We were wrong about the transcript."

This is all political.

It looks like it waspolitical from the beginning

and seems it's going to continue that way.

- And today, the Acting Directorof National Intelligence

will testify on CapitolHill about his handling

of the whistleblower complaint.

The complaint itself couldalso be declassified today.

In Washington, Jenna Browder, CBN News.

- Articles of impeachment are initiated

in the House of Representatives,and in order to get that,

there's got to be a majority vote,

so I don't know if NancyPelosi has taken a vote.

She's made a unilateral decision,but that's for starters.

Then it's gotta go to the Senate,

and the Senate has to have atwo-thirds vote to impeach.

Now do you think with aRepublican-controlled Senate

such a thing's gonna happen?

Of course not.

So this is an exercisein absolute futility.

So what are the Democratstrying to do in the House?

Well, what are they gonna do?

Well, they can sort of put ablack mark on the president,

but the American people don't like that,

and Chief Political Analyst David Brody

is going to join us now.

David, the Republicans saythe transcript is nothing

and Democrats said that itcalls for a case of impeachment.

What do you think?

They say it's all politics.

What's your take?

- There's no doubt, Pat,that this is all politics.

I think everybody canpretty much agree on that,

Democrats and Republicans,though the Democrats

might have a beef or twoabout that, but look.

We heard so much about thetranscript, the call transcript,

and it was somewhat of a nothingburger

in the sense that there wasno specific quid pro quo,

no favor done to investigate Biden.

However, we now have thewhistleblower report.

I've got it right here, Pat,

and I can tell you right now,this is gonna make some news

because it's not just about the call,

and I need to read you, if I could, Pat,

a couple of these lines thatDemocrats are gonna latch on to

and I can guarantee youthere'll be some questions

for the White House about this,

and here's what it says.

This is the whistleblower speaking:

"White House officials told me

"that they were directedby White House lawyers

"to remove the electronic transcript"

of that conversation"from the computer system

"in which such transcriptsare typically stored

"for coordination, etc.

"Instead, the transcript was loaded

"into a separate electronic system

"that is otherwise usedto store and handle

"classified information on anespecially sensitive nature."

So, that obviously is gonnaopen up a whole can of worms

and some questions for the White House,

which is why exactly was it moved?

Now, I can tell you, I was speaking

to some White Houseofficials this morning.

They had heard a little bit;

they hadn't seen the whistleblowercomplaint at that point,

but they had heard about thistranscript and the server,

and what they're telling meis that what does it matter

because ultimately, classified material

is classified material nomatter where it's stored.

Still, it begs the question why indeed

was this specific conversation

transferred to a separate system?

Now, one last thing, I know I might feel

like I'm rambling here a little bit,

but as I read through thiswhistleblower complaint, Pat,

it says, and I can tell you,

there's a couple of timeshere where I can guarantee you

the Trump supporters are gonnayell deep state all the way

because, basically, andif I can find it here,

but they talk about multipleWhite House officials

were giving the whistleblower information.

And this is multiple times

throughout the whistleblower complaint,

so in other words, thisisn't just a whistleblower.

The whistleblower cameforward, but he, or she,

is getting informationfrom multiple people

inside the White Houseand also, potentially,

at the State Department and other places.

That screams deep state to folks

that subscribe to that portionof what's going on here.

- David, who are they?

Do you have any idea who isinside the administration

that's leaking this stuff?

- Well, there are allsorts of rumors out there,

and there are all sorts,there's a big guessing game.

I will tell you this, and once again, Pat,

I just received this moments ago,

so I'm kind of going through it.

I know there are a coupleof names mentioned in here

of some folks that wereactually listening to the call.

Now, I can tell you that there was about,

I believe they say a dozen folks,

that were listening to that phone call

between the Ukrainianpresident and Donald Trump,

so if there was about a dozen,

I mean, the guessing game starts there

with those folks that were in the room.

They were in the Situation Room listening.

That is standard procedure, typically,

but when word got out about what was said

about Biden in the call,that's when other situations

or people started to move on this.

- Well, David, I don't seeanything in the world wrong.

There's not an official inquiry.

We're not under any kindof a ban by a court.

To move something froma less-sensitive server

to a super-secret server.

What in the world's wrong with that?

- Yeah, there's no clear indication

that there would be anythingtechnically wrong with that,

I think it just raises the suspicion level

as to why you would do it,

and I think that questionneeds to be answered.

And plus, Pat, at thispoint, a lawyer, obviously,

would have to kind of getinto all of that legality

as to whether or not that matters.

You know, it's above my pay grade,

but I can tell ya thatDemocrats are gonna latch on

to that portion of thewhistleblower complaint,

but once again, I have to tell you, Pat,

I'm reading through this,

and it's a first glanceof reading through it,

but there are multiple times here

where this whistleblower says

I didn't know any of this first hand,

that all of these peoplein the White House

and in the StateDepartment and other places

were telling me all thisinformation, so think about this.

I mean, this is awhistleblower with tentacles,

that are all of these tentacles

kinda coming into thisperson with information

which means there's a lot of folks

that are looking to obviouslyget rid of this president.

I mean, I think that's pretty clear.

I don't think that's asubjective statement at all.

I think it's prettyobjective at this point.

There are a lot of folks thatwant to get this president.

We know about that anonymousWashington Post op-ed

that came out a while back,

so, look, I can guaranteeyou the White House

is going to say deep state,

this has deep state all overit, including the server.

- David, how extensive was thecleanup when Trump took over?

I really believe there'reare many, many jobs

that still haven't been filled,

so has he really cleaned house,

or he talked about draining the swamp;

has the swamp really been drained?

- Well part of the problem, Pat,

is that he hasn't really replaceda lot of folks that were,

in other words, there's a lot of vacancies

all across the US government.

The US government, I thinkthat's part of the problem.

He doesn't have his people in there.

But as you know, Pat, Imean that State Department,

and not just the StateDepartment, the CIA and the FBI,

and even some withinthe Justice Department.

I mean, these are career officials,

many of 'em back to theObama administration

and some even before that,

so this is a town thatis swampy in nature,

it always has been,

and when you have apresident like Donald Trump

who is rattling a few cages,this is what you're gonna get.

- One last thing.

This whole impeachment thingis an exercise in futility.

You know, it can't goanywhere, it can't succeed,

so what do the Democratsthink they're doing?

I mean, how are you gonna go

before the American people in 2020

and say here's our agenda to make America

a nice place to live in.

We have tried to impeachthe president and it failed.

You remember under Clinton,Clinton was the subject

and he got reelected and Newt Gingrich,

who was leading the charge, he lost.

So these guys are gonna losebig time, don't you think?

- Well, let me just saythis: it is very clear

that Nancy Pelosi is doingsomething strategic here.

She never actually usedthe word impeachment

during that addressshe said the other day,

but I will tell you this:

when she said that we're gonnado this impeachment inquiry,

she never said we're gonnatake a vote on impeachment

because they know that that isa political suicide for them

if they take a vote, avote on what exactly?

What crime has been committed?

And, at this point, it seemslike Democrats are, in essence,

impeaching, or they wantto impeach this president,

for being a really badguy and bad behavior

and some unethical stuff,

and that's kind oftheir point of all that.

You know, look, this isvery interesting, Pat.

One last thing to say

because here's what wecould face in the next year.

This president could indeed be impeached

by the House of Representatives;

there is no doubt about that.

No chance of conviction inthe Senate at this point,

however, Donald Trump could actually be

the first president inUnited States history

to win reelection while being impeached.

He'd actually be an impeachedpresident and win reelection.

Wouldn't that be something.

The Democrats think they have

the last laugh on Trump by impeaching him,

and Donald Trump comesback and wins reelection.

It could happen, and, at this point,

I'm done with all thepsychotherapy, I give up, Pat.

I need some serious Tylenol.

(Pat laughing) 1

- All right, thanks,David, God bless you, okay.

Well, in other news:

He survived two electionsand now my good friend,

Benjamin Netanyahu, isgetting the first shot

at creating a new government.

John Jessup has more on that.

- That is right, Pat.

Israeli President Reuvin Rivlin

picked the Prime Minister to try

and form a government coalitionafter last week's election.

Rivlin made the choice because he realized

he couldn't convince Netanyahu

and his political rival,General Benny Gantz,

to form a unity government,

and he believes Netanyahuis more likely to succeed.

- (speaking in foreign language)

- [Translator] The abilityof Member of Knesset

Benjamin Netanyahu to form agovernment is better right now.

Therefore, sir, I've decided to grant you

the possibility to form a government.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Translator] I accept thismission that you have given me,

the order of the momentis a unity government,

a broad national unity governmentthat is formed quickly.

- [John] Netanyahu faces what some call

a political mission impossible.

He remains several seatsshort of a government majority

and he's surrounded by rival parties

who say, Pat, they're unwillingto join his coalition.

- I think before he's finished,Benny Gantz is gonna come in

and we'll have two primeministers named Benjamin

and I think Netanyahuwill say, "I'll go first,"

because he doesn't want to be,

well, I shouldn't say at peace,

but he doesn't want convicted.

They're trying to gethim for various crimes

and if he's primeminister, he'll be exempt,

so he'll go first, but I think Benny Gantz

is gonna come on board and the two of them

will make a deal.

You know, the big thing is

what kind of a nation isIsrael supposed to be?

And I think that we whoare on the sidelines

need to recognize thatthat's supposed to be

a nation for the Jews.

And it's not supposed tobe a nation for Arabs.

They've got plenty of landand everything around them.

But this is the Jewish homeland

and the Jewish people need toestablish a Jewish homeland,

and so that's the whole deal.

But what the secularists don't want

is the Orthodox havingall kinds of privileges

and not having to servein the armed forces,

and not have to pay taxes,et cetera, et cetera.

That's what's roiling the pot right now.

And others say we ought tobe a totally secular regime

and there're those who say no, no,

it's supposed to be a Jewish state.

So just keep that in mind,where the thing's going,

but I think they'll wind up

with two prime ministers named Benjamin,

and Netanyahu will go first

and then Benjamin Gantz,Benny Gantz, will be second,

and I think they'll get together,

'cause Gantz is a good guy.

I've known him since he was a brigadier.

We were up there inNorthern Israel together.

And so is Netanyahu.

And they share the same general goals,

so I think we'll have a unity government

that'll amaze the world; John.

- Pat, over in the United Kingdom,

no signs of unity there, either.

The House of Commons metfor the first time Wednesday

since the Supreme Court ruled against

Prime Minister Boris Johnson'smove suspending Parliament.

Johnson cut short hisvisit to the United Nations

to face angry lawmakerscalling for his resignation,

but the prime minister stood his ground.

- And it is absolutely no disrespect

to the Judiciary to say Ithink the court was wrong

(crowd jeering)to pronounce on what is

essentially a political question.

- This prime minister to talkabout morals and morality

is a disgrace.(crowd cheering)

- Johnson's opponents charged

he manipulated the system,and misled the Queen,

to shut down Parliamentin the weeks leading up

to the UK deadline toleave the European Union.

Brexit opponents are standing in the way

of Johnson's pledge toleave the EU by October 31st

with or without a deal covering trade,

travel, and diplomatic relations.

Johnson charges Brexit critics

with blocking the will of the people.

He also said they're afraid to call

for a no-confidence vote against him

because it might backfire.

Pat.- Chaos.

Chaos, like I said, chaos,ladies and gentlemen.

But the thing that is important,

it would be really very, very unwise

to leave the European Unionwithout some kind of a deal.

There has to be some kindof a deal on immigration.

There needs to be somehaving to do with tariffs.

It needs to be somethingabout cross-border travel

and all that kind of stuff,

and if it's not in thereand Israel pulls out,

then it's gonna make it veryhard for the British people,

and so there're membersof Parliament that said,

no, look, we know the peoplewant us to get, you know,

Brexit means we want to break from,

we're gonna exit from the European Union,

and they say why shoulda bunch of bureaucrats

over in Luxembourg decide our destiny?

And these people are,well, they're left-wing

and they're socialists and theBritish people don't like it,

so they say, well, we oughtto get out of that union.

Fine, but then how're yougonna get along with them?

So it's got to be something done,

and Boris wanted to bull aheadand members of Parliament

wisely said, hey, you boys,cool it just a little bit

until we get a deal in place.

And so, it's chaos!

Chaos in America, chaosin Great Britain, Terry.

- Lots of negotiating still to come.

Well, still to come on the 700 Club,

put a ring on it!

Dozens did just that at the same ceremony.

Why did they get hitchedat this mass wedding?

Plus, food saved her, sosays this celebrity chef.

The shocking reason why.

And the dynamic quarterbackfor the Philadelphia Eagles.

How Carson Wentz inspires fans

even when he's not on the field.

All ahead on The 700 Club.

(cinematic thematic music)

- Move out or take a walk down the aisle.

That's what one Texas pastoris telling unmarried couples

in his congregationwho are living together

without being married.

And guess what?

It's working!

Charlene Aaron shows us the unique way

he's getting couples to say, "I do."

- Since 2010, Pastor Bryan Carter

of Concord Church here in Dallas

has been challenging unwedcouples who live together

to move out or tie the knot.

For those who choose to marry,

the church throws them a grand wedding,

complete with wedding dresses,tuxedos, and even the rings.

♪ I've found love ♪

♪ And I found it in you ♪

- [Charlene] 24 couplesrecently walked down the aisle

after completing thechurch's 90-day challenge.

- It was all birthed out ofus looking around the culture

and realizing how popularcohabitation has become

and just believing thatmarriage is the best way.

And so our goal was to help couples

to move from cohabitation butinto the marriage covenant.

- [Charlene] It is an issue

that hits close to home for Pastor Carter.

- My wife and I lived togetherbefore we were married,

so we know what cohabitation's all about.

We know how you drift into it.

My brother helped me whenI was living with my wife,

my fiancée, and paid for my rent

to be able to step out of that situation.

And so we want to help couplesbecause we've been helped.

- [Charlene] In 2007,

14 million unmarriedadults lived together.

By 2016, that number jumped to 18 million.

- So when we live together,it really devalues marriage.

It's like we're trying to makea, imitate the real thing.

- [Charlene] One surprisefrom those numbers

is the four million Americans 50 or older

choosing this lifestyle.

That total is 75% higher than in 2007.

One reason: the combinationof a decline in marriage

and rising divorce rateamong aging baby boomers.

That statistic included Howard Lowanda

who had been livingtogether for three years.

Engaged and planning tomarry later this year,

they decided to move up their wedding date

after hearing Pastor Carter's challenge.

- It was all I needed tohear that particular Sunday

because I felt like at that moment,

I looked at Howard like, "Godtalking to us, this is us."

- [Charlene] Part of thechallenge involved couples

practicing sexual purity until marriage.

- As he put the challengetogether, I said,

"Hey, we're doing it."

And we, separate rooms.

We did the challenge;we stuck with the plan.

- [Charlene] Vernon and Trajea

had been living together for 15 years

and say several thingskept them from the altar.

- Comfort.

Comfortable where I was.

- [Trajea] Life happened.

We had babies, we graduated from college.

We were working full-time jobs.

And we just got caught upin the hustle and bustle

and put our oneness, our relationship,

but we just put it on the back burner.

We figured, hey, we arecommitted to each other.

- [Charlene] Couplesenrolled in the program

underwent 11 weeks ofpre-marital counseling classes.

- Some of the couples said,

"Listen, I've never had this conversation

"with her or him before."

And that's what happens.

So many times we become comfortable

talking about certain issues

and we never dive into a deeper issue,

and so we've had some great facilitators

that made sure that coupleshad these conversations,

had homework they had to do.

- [Charlene] The resultshave been life-changing.

- Learned a ton abouteach other and about God,

and just a Godly marriage.

- If you're going to be togetherfor the rest of your life,

you've got to know how to communicate.

(Trajea laughing)

- It taught me to become a man of God.

I am accountable to herand I'm cherishing her

because I cherish God andthat's number one in my life,

so that's really was an impact for me.

- We also learned howto pray with each other.

Even though we prayed, but nowwe know how to do it right.

- [Charlene] For Pastor Carter,

encouraging marriage is nothing new.

This marks the fourth year his church

has conducted the challenge,followed by the mass wedding.

- [Bryan] Over time, we'vemarried closed to 50 couples

over these last ten years, and most,

about 80% of thosecouples are still married.

- [Charlene] In theend, he says his mission

is much more than gettingcouples down the aisle.

- [Bryan] But I hope it connects them

close to the heart of God.

That God loves them, thatGod has a plan for them.

I pray they'll become witnesses

to their family and to their friends.

I just pray that it reallyignites something in them.

And that's what God has called us to do.

- [Charlene] These newlywedsare beyond grateful

for the push and support.

- It's awesome.

Kind of surreal to be honest with you.

- It's better than anythingwe could have envisioned,

and it exceeded all of our expectations.

- We did it!- God did it.

- [Charlene] CharleneAaron, CBN News, Dallas.

- Good for them, isn't that interesting?

- It's a wonderful idea, actually.

You know, God says, if you just let me,

if you just obey me andlet me help you, you know?

- Terry, I'm amazed at the numbers.

That's a huge number of people.

- Well it's become--- Cohabiting.

- Much more acceptable in society.

You know, years ago, that wasreally something that you hid.

- We've got laws, unfortunately,

that they're against marriage.

You know the laws don't help marriage.

And you look at the taxlaws and things like that.

It mitigates against marriage,

so we ought to do everythingin our legal system

to make marriage pleasant and available,

not to make it difficult,and unfortunately,

we've set up a system wherebeing married costs you money,

and people say, well, look, we're smart,

we'll just live togetherlike we're married

but we won't tie the knot.

- Exactly.- Okay.

- Well, coming up on The 700 Club,

the winner of The Next Food Network Star.

Melissa d'Arabian serves up a plate

of her world-famous potato bacon torte.

And then next, number 11 on the field,

but that's not the number on his wrist.

What is and what does it mean?

When we come back.

(cinematic thematic music)

(dramatic cinematic music)

- Well, you remember the eagle has landed?

Well, the Eagles have landed in Green Bay,

and quarterback Carson Wentz

is hoping to lead Philly tovictory in tonight's game.

While millions around the globewill be cheering for Wentz,

he's playing to an audience of just one.

(upbeat pop music)

- [Announcer] CarsonWentz plays quarterback

much like he lives life: impromptu,

eagerly creating playsthat both score points

and impact lives.

The North Dakota native led the NDSU Bison

to two national championships

before finding the fasttrack to Philadelphia,

becoming the face of the Eagles franchise

in a journey where homestill stays within reach.

- It always just hitsme a little different

when I come back home and Isee kids wearing my jersey.

I was that kid.

I was the kid who grew upand walked these streets.

I was the kid who wasat these football camps

that I might be putting on.

Too much fun?- Yeah, a little.

- [Interviewer] What didthe North Dakota upbringing

deposit in your life, Carson?

- Yeah, growing up in North Dakota,

I think the make up ofNorth Dakotans in general

and the make up of the Midwest,

and just kind of those familyvalues and Christian values

that are kind of instilledin you when you're younger,

so those things havestuck with me to this day.

- Describe your quarterback style?

- I think my quarterback style is unique

and I want to be a pocketpasser first but, you know,

when I need to extend playsand do things with my legs,

I'll definitely take advantage of that.

I feel like I'm gunslinger andI'm willing to take chances,

I'm willing to forcea pass here and there,

and playing with that mentality,

and just kind of playing freely out there.

- Is that a part of your personality?

- It is, it is!

I think that kind of abstract mind

and kind of playing off schedule sometimes

and improvising I think itis definitely how my mind is

and it's always running,it's always going,

always thinking of the next thing,

and that's definitelyhow I play the game too.

- [Interviewer] What'smost appealing about Philly

for a North Dakota guy?

- I absolutely just love the fans here.

I love the passion that they bring.

It's just such a uniqueculture in this city

of blue-collar work ethic

and just a deep-rooted sense of belonging

and purpose within these games.

So it's so much bigger than just

a Sunday afternoon football game

and they always show up,they bring their best,

they bring their A-game, good, bad, ugly,

it doesn't matter; thefans are always there.

And I love that about this place.

- [Interviewer] You're apart of a Super Bowl team.

You positioned them to get there,

but because of injury, youweren't able to see that through.

What did you take away from that win

by simply supporting and watching?

- I mean learned a lot,a lot about myself.

I always preach, you know, Iplay for an audience of one,

and just have that mindset.

I'm always talking about it,

but then when it came down to it,

and I wasn't able to be out there,

I had to really putthat faith into action.

And really just ultimatelysay, "All right, God.

"I'm surrendering all of this to you."

And it was tough.

And so it was definitely ajourney that I had to take

but I thank God for it in the end.

- [Interviewer] Are youaware in the moment,

"I need to put this into practice?"

- Yeah, you see some little things.

Maybe it's just some littlehardening of the heart

for maybe some certain things

that maybe kind ofcrept into the idol side

and maybe I was putting football

maybe a little too much on that platform

and you know I thinkGod was just molding me

to be more like Him andreally truly value Him first

and ultimately say it's His.

This is just a gift, this is a platform,

this is ability that I'vebeen given, but it's His.

- You have chosen, as you've said,

to narrow your audience to one.

Let me hear that fromyou, for whom and why?

- I can't escape it.

That's just my life motto, andthe phrase audience of one,

I actually have it tattooed on my wrist.

AO1 came to me when I wasa freshman in college.

That's when my faithreally became real to me

and really became a personalrelationship with Christ.

And I heard someone say that phrase,

a great reminder for mewhen I'm out there playing,

but it's everything I do.

Serving my wife, being a sonor a friend, whatever it is.

The Lord is my audience.

And playing Monday Night Football,

you're being watched by millions,

or the media is writingthings about you, good or bad,

but what matters is how God views you

and what He says that you are.

- You have the foundationunder the same name,

Audience of One.

Messaging Christianity,you guys are doing that.

- I think it's two-fold.

I think when you're sharing the Gospel,

you're verbally sharing,expressing who Christ is

but also, so many people lives are changed

because of how you live,because of how you walk it out.

That's something that we strive to do

with the AO1 Foundation,with Thy Kingdom Crumb.

We're partnering to buildthe Haiti Sports Complex

with the Outdoor Ministry thatwe have going in the Midwest.

We always want to tangibly bless somebody

with an opportunity, withfood, with something unique

and that will fix a physical need,

but a spiritual need at the same time.

That what it's all about.

- [Interviewer] What makesThy Kingdom Crumb unique?

- Yeah, I think thebiggest thing is it's free.

It's an opportunity for peopleto just, to open up, engage,

have a community block party,

and then hopefully dig alittle deeper spiritually.

- [Interviewer] Camp Conqueror.

What message is it youwant them to remember?

- I mean it is that message of overcoming

and ultimately that messageof overcoming through Jesus.

Obviously they're going through

some amazingly difficult things,

and the biggest thing wewant them to hold on to

and cling to is that Jesus is greater

than all of those things.

We set them up for someamazing experiences here

to leave with some amazing memories,

friendships, relationships.

We want to foster that environment,we want to nurture that,

we want to disciple themas we leave here as well.

- You're learning about being a conqueror.

What does that mean to you?

- It means to, like, overcome your fears

and just, like, be braveand do what you love to do.

- Everyone's different.

Everyone's at a different place,

everyone's had a different experience

with maybe the church, maybewith someone with their family.

So just first and foremost,meeting people where they are.

Loving on people, helping them feel seen,

so it's not always justabout what you say to them,

it's how you care for them,

how you show love and respect for them.

- How does it evolvefrom cliche to conviction

about a God that wants to engage with you?

- Yeah, God wants me toultimately surrender to Him,

have that relationship with Him,

and that's truly all that matters.

So, for me, to have my LordJesus Christ as my audience,

it just changes myperspective on everything.

- [Interviewer] So with theNFL's guaranteed contract,

what is personally lostwhen putting confidence

in perceived certainty?

- That's a good question.

You know, when you havea contract of that value,

it's so easy to just rest on that.

And financially, that'san amazing blessing

and to not lose sight of that,

but it's something youalways gotta guard against,

being too invested into financialsuccess, personal success,

'cause at the end of the day,

if your relationship withChrist is out of order,

everything else is gonna be a mess;

me missing the mostimportant thing in life.

- Boy, it's wonderful tosee a young man so grounded

in what really matters, isn't it?

Especially one that has such an influence

on young people today.

I can't say much more than that;

I'm from Green Bay, but,well, may the best team win.

- Welcome back to Washingtonfor this CBN News break.

Iran's president issued new warnings

in a speech to theUnited Nations Wednesday.

President Hassan Rouhanisaid the region is, quote,

"on the edge of collapse,"blaming the United States

for failing to solve conflicts

in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria.

He's also accusing the United States

of merciless economic terrorism

over sanctions due to theIranian nuclear program.

Rouhani's speech came just hours

after Secretary of State MikePompeo gave a keynote address

at the United Against Nuclear Iran Summit,

calling on other nations tojoin with the United States.

A new United Nations report details

the rise of global anti-Semitism.

In a rare move, the report noted claims

that the Boycott,Divestment and Sanctions,

also known as the BDSmovement against Israel

is fundamentally anti-Semitic.

It also said anti-Semitic incidents

are creating a climate of fear

among a substantial number of Jews,

impairing their right tomanifest their religion.

Danny Danon, Israel'sAmbassador to the United Nations

says the report is unprecedented

and an example of the change

in the UN's attitude toward Israel.

Well, you can always getthe latest from CBN News

- Save a thousand dollars a year

by making your own yogurt.

That's what Melissa d'Arabian shared

in the video with local moms,

and she never could haveimagined what happened next.

- [Announcer] Melissad'Arabian is a television host

and Season Five winner ofThe Next Food Network Star.

She says becoming a celebrity chef

has taught her a lot about food,

but even more about God.

Growing up, her relationshipwith food was complicated.

She did not always have enough as a child

and as an adult, she struggled

with her food choices and her body image.

Until she gained a new perspective.

In "Tasting Grace," Melissa shares

the experiences from her life

that shaped her relationship with food,

and reveals how God uses food

to bring people together,and closer to Him.

- Melissa d'Arabian is here with us now,

and we welcome you into the kitchen

- of The 700 Club.- Thank you.

- It's great to have you here.

- It's a joy to be here.

- You have such wonderful food.

We're gonna look at allof this in a moment,

but your new book is,

you really talk about thecomplicated relationship

that most people have with food.

What do you mean by that?

- Well, I mean that right now,

we're in a society thatis obsessed with food,

but is also separated from our food,

and I think that we're missing out

on the joys that God is giving to us.

God is so generous in His food system.

He made it delicious for a reason,

and I want to celebrate that.

- So what is the connectionbetween God and food.

You talk about that in the book,

and, really, all of us need,

if we had a healthierunderstanding of that,

we would have a healthierrelationship with food ourselves.

- Well I spent a couple of years

marinating in this verytopic because I wanted

to reconcile those mixedmessages for myself,

and when I have all these mixed messages,

the one place where I know I can go

and fix my eyes is on God,

and God has a lot to say about food,

and it's wonderful news.

There's so much invitationinto being closer to God

through our food, and Ibelieve that every bite of food

can bring us closer to Godthrough those invitations.

We're invited into the patience of food,

we're invited into connection,

and into joy, and into delight.

There's so much joy and wonder in food

and I think we justskip it really quickly.

- What we eat, how muchwe eat, and when we eat it

is our responsibility, butthe gift is for everyone.

You don't have a backgroundin culinary training.

Were you surprised that youwon the Food Network Star?

- Well, yes and no.

I knew what I felt about food,

and I knew about my food experience.

- Living in France will help that.

- Yes, and having a Frenchhusband will help that.

But, I think that when Iwent in to Food Network Star,

every challenge, I just keptlooking at those ingredients

and thinking, I will findGod in the ingredients.

And so my job is to show upand continue God's creation

and be a creator, too,

and then where the chips fall, they fall.

- That perspective reallyhelped you stay on task.

You have some wonderful things

that you've brought to show us today.

Let's start down here.

That looks delicious, andI'm a Brussel sprout lover.

- Well I love Brussel sprouts,

and I love, my kids love pasta,so I bring them together.

With Brussel sprouts,they're like little tiny--

- Cabbage.- Gem cabbage

sweetness from God.

And we can taste almost theearth in those Brussel sprouts,

so a really simple wayto bring in God's joy

into a pasta dish that kids will love.

And then I've got this lightlyroasted asparagus soup,

it's like almost raw.- It's so pretty.

- Well, it is pretty, and the secret is

just roasting for five minutes,

so you get the carmalizedsweetness of the asparagus,

but you also taste thatfresh grassy interior

that really celebrates the fact

that God grows our asparagus.

- Yes, and then next to that, beautiful.

- Well, then, this is thehomemade quick apple tart,

and it's a homemadecrust, but the secret is

I don't even roll it out,I just blend up the crust

in a food processorquickly, just pulse it up,

and then just press it into the pan

and you don't even have to roll it out,

so it looks a little bit rustic for sure,

- I love it.- But it's a great reminder

that we can be simple and stilluse God's great ingredients.

There's so much joy there.

- And, I mean, that's sobeautiful for entertaining,

and that's one of thethings you talk about

is the joy of being able tohave people come into your home

and quickly make somethingthat's appropriate.

- And switching from this modelof performance hospitality--

- And perfection.- Into Godly hospitality,

which is about service andwelcoming the stranger.

- And communication, yes.

- That's right, andbringing people together

around a table to celebrate God's bounty.

- Absolutely.- Right?

- This, what we're looking at right here

is a family recipe, mother-in-law, right?

- Yes, my mother-in-lawintroduced me to this joy.

- But this was the star thatmade you a star, so tell us.

- This is a potato bacon torte,

and it's really justsuper simple ingredients,

but put together, it's such a joy.

It's really just a crust.

Now you can make your own butter crust.

We're using refrigeratedcrust because, well,

- And no shame in that.- You know what?

Listen, life is busy.

I'm just go ahead and lay these in.

This is just sliced Russet potatoes.

You want to later them,you want to salt and pepper

kind of as you go, so thatyou season all of the slices,

little more salt than youactually think you need,

a little pepper, and thenwe'll add a little tarragon.

So you're just laying in sliced potato,

and then let me just showyou where the magic is.

Well, first of all, asif potatoes in crust

weren't magic enough!

- Hey, I'm Scandinavian, it works.

- Oh, okay, yeah, that's perfect.

Then we're gonna add ina little bit of cream.

- It really works.- Yes, it really works.

But you know, just a sliver of this

with a nice tart green salad

makes for a wonderful Sunday supper.

And you can make these in advance

and then have them for guestsor just for your family.

- So this is it?

You're just layering this?- This is it.

We're layering on rawbacon which will cook and--

- All the juices.- The juices, yes.

It will melt on down into those potatoes,

and then that's really it.

We're just gonna thenput on a crust on top

and then you crimp it andput in the little vents.

- And I'll bet it smells as heavenly

as what we're about to show

in the finished products behind us.

- Yes, and now or later?- Let's go back.

- Do you wanna grab those--- Yes, good thinking.

- And I'll open the oven door for you?

- And this- Oooh my!

- Is one of those dishes thatyour whole house will smell

like a big fluffy croissantwith a hint of bacon,

so all good things.- It's pretty wonderful.

- It really is.- Here.

We can set it right here.

- And this dish is a great example

of taking good care ofGod's simple ingredients.

I mean, the potato?

It couldn't get more humbleand wonderful than that,

and yet it's just this wonderful dish.

- Oh my goodness, the fragrance is beyond.

- Butter, bacon, potatoes.

It's good stuff.- But now, the things

that you just mentioned.

We hear so much today about how terrible

some of these foods are,

and so we shy away fromever eating any of them.

You really talk about the factthat it doesn't mean never,

it just means doing it reasonably.

- Absolutely, and I think, I think

that Satan does hisbest work in half-truths

because he will take a truth

and then wrap a fat lie aroundit and then we consume it.

And the truth is that we arenot meant to be glutenous.

We are meant to eat with some discipline

and honoring our bodies.

We are meant to move our bodies.

But the lie is that wecan't have a potato.

The lie is that a tomatohas too much sugar.

God made a tomato.- And a banana.

- And a banana, yes, sowe will skip the tomato,

but then have a brightblue drink at the gym

that has all sorts ofchemicals and whatever.

- Or drink crazy things like Red Bull.

Just saying.

- Well, I wasn't naming names.- Just saying.

- But okay.- Yeah, I'm namin' names.

You can get so muchmore of Melissa's story

in her brand new book.

I loved it and if you've got kids,

this is a great book to read

to help them get the farm to table,

putting food in its right perspective.

It's called "Tasting Grace."

It's available in stores nationwide

and for the recipes that you just saw,

- Love the way you do all of this,

love your perspective on it.

It all honors God.

We appreciate that.- Thank you.

- Well, up next, Pat weighs in

on the issues that matter to you.

Helen asks, "Is intimacyoutside of marriage

"at any age a sin?

"My boyfriend and I are in our late 60s

"and he says God wouldunderstand his needs."

Pat's gonna answer that one.

It's all next, you don't want to miss it.

(cinematic thematic music)

- When Gideon and his familymoved to their new home,

their neighbors thoughtthey practiced witchcraft.

They were shunned, sojobs were hard to find

and Gideon couldn't even go to school.

Desperate, this familyprayed, and partners like you

answered those prayers.

When Gideon's parents separated,

Gideon and his brother movedto Nairobi with their mom.

The area they lived in beforewas known for its witchcraft,

so in their new neighborhood,everyone feared them.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Translator] I toldthem I was a Christian,

but they didn't believe me.

Shop owners didn't evenwant me in their stores.

- [Terry] She eventually found a job

as a night shift worker at a factory.

They rented a small house,but she didn't earn enough

to pay her children's school fees.

Gideon followed his friendsto school, but couldn't go in.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Translator] When I satoutside, I felt like crying.

At home, I'd pretend to teach my brother,

like we were in school.

At night, when my mom went to work,

she left us some food to share.

We often went hungry.

- [Terry] Gideon prayed for a better life.

Then Missions of Hope International,

a ministry supported by Orphan's Promise,

learned about Gideon and his family.

Our counselors visited them

and invited them to joinour school free of charge.

- [Translator] God answered my prayers!

I am so happy!

I am now able to read and learn.

I enjoy playing with my friends,

but I like learning even more.

We get breakfast and lunch here,

so our tummies are always full.

- [Terry] Because we welcomedthe family with open arms,

the community accepted them too.

Now Gideon's mom has astable job at a barber shop.

She even bought a house, and it's so big,

she rents out some of the rooms.

- [Translator] God sent youto us at just the right time!

You transformed our lives.

I pray you will continue to help people

the same way you helped us.

- [Translator] Thank youto everyone who helped us.

God loves you, and I love you, too!

- You know, Orphan's Promise

works with thousands ofchildren around the world

and Nairobi is just one place

where the kids are so awarethat education means a future.

To not have it means you'regoing to be left behind,

and yet there are somany children worldwide

who simply don't have the fundsto be able to go to school.

I know that sounds crazy that you think

you're gonna charge someone

who's already in a poverty situation,

but that's the way itworks around the world.

We want to say thank you for your gifts

because you allow us to gointo the lives of children,

like Gideon, and tohelp him and his family.

To be able to be educated,to have a business,

to have income to live, really,

to live with the hope of tomorrow

and opportunity on their doorstep.

We just want to say thank you.

- Amen.- Ready for some email?

- Let's go for it.

All right here we go.

- Okay, this first one is from Helen.

"I am a 67-year old female andhave been seeing a gentleman

"for almost nine months.

"I am a widow and he is divorced.

"We are both Christians and attend church.

"He had recently encouragedme to be intimate with him

"and I told him it was a sin, but he said

"that he felt like Godwould understand his needs.

"Am I wrong about this?

"Is intimacy outside of marriage a sin,

"regardless of age, ordoes this only apply

"to people who've never been married?"

- Ellen, I'm afraidyour boyfriend is wrong,

and I think you need to understand it.

Sex, sexual relations outside of marriage

is considered fornication.

I don't care if you're 67 or 16,

it doesn't matter how old you are

or whether you've beenmarried before or not,

but if this guy is all thenice fella he thinks he is,

I think there's no barrier to keep you all

from being married, buthe wants a little cake

without having to pay forthe cost of baking it,

so I think there're obligations

you take on when you're married.

You love, honor, and respectand all the rest of it.

And he just wants to have sex.

Well, okay, God knowsabout his needs, yeah sure.

God also knows how he made you,

and He also says what the rules are,

so I don't make the rules,

I'm just telling you what they are, okay?

- Okay, this is Stephanie who says,

"How can I fully trust God for healing?

"I try to pray and havefaith that He will heal me,

"but I always second-guess that he will.

"What if it's not Hiswill for me to be healed?

"Does He want us to goto doctors for healing?

"Do I stand by and pray for healing

"or do I move forwardwith modern medicine?"

- You've asked some veryinteresting questions there.

When Jesus was here on Earth,

He healed everybody who came to Him,

so when somebody says,well it's not God's will

that you be healed, that's nonsense.

He healed everybody who cameto Him and asked for healing.

So God wants people to be healed,

but I also think God uses medicine.

I don't think it's a sin to use

the marvelous technologythat's made available to us,

but I think to rely on that is a mistake

because like it or not, nomedicine is going to heal you.

The doctors don't heal.

You know, somebody saidthe great doctor said

I bind the wounds butGod heals the sickness,

so don't worry about using medicine,

but if you really rely on the Lord,

ask Him and then speak the Word.

If you don't believewhat you're asking for,

you're not gonna have it.

You have to be convinced thatthis is God's will, all right?

- Okay, this is Delores, who says,

"Pat, you answered a question

"on praying in tongues as edifying,

"but God show me when Hecalled me to be an intercessor

"in the Body of Christthat praying in tongues

"for someone or something ispraying for the will of God.

"Doesn't scripture confirm it?"

- I don't think scriptureconfirms what you just said.

Scripture does say

he that prays in a tongue edifies himself.

That means you build up yourself

when you're praying in the spirit.

Paul said, "I wouldrather speak 10,000 words

"in a understanding than 3,000--"

Oh, I, excuse me, 3,000 andbut 10,000 words in a tongue.

So there are messages that arebrought to the congregation

so you say God showed you specially.

Well, He didn't show youout of the Bible, all right?

We leave you with today's Power Minute

from Psalm 121: The Lord is your keeper;

the Lord is your shade at your right hand.

Hey, tomorrow, the coming red wave.

Could next year's electionunleash a Republican tsunami?

Jordan Sekulow's gonna talk about that

so you don't want to miss it.

- Absolutely not, I'll be here.

- You'll be here?- I will.

- So, for Terry and all of us,

God bless you, we'll seeyou tomorrow, bye bye.
