(intriguing music)

Hello, welcome to the "700 Club."

They're calling it sabotage,

that's what one expert tells CBN News

after a series of mysteriousexplosions hit Iran recently.

And one of them has seriouslyhurt their nuclear program.

- But who would be behind these blasts,

and what message are they sending to Iran?

Chris Mitchell brings usthe answers from Jerusalem.

(whooshing)

- [Chris] The mysterious eventsrange from a shipyard fire

to a gas line explosion.

While no clear evidence has surfaced

regarding sabotage as thecause of all these explosions.

Israeli investigativejournalist, Ronen Bergman, says,

one clearly stands out atthe Natanz nuclear facility.

- The booming there, the explosion,

the blast that destroyedthe whole facility

for the installment andbalancing of centrifuges

in Natanz was a direct resultof a preplanned sabotage.

Whoever was behind thatdemonstrated, I think,

the highest capability,

nothing less than exquisiteof intelligence collection.

- [Chris] Experts estimatethe damage at the facility

sets back Iran's nuclearprogram by as much as two years.

An unknown group

calling itself the HomelandCheetahs claim responsibility,

but might not be the only actor involved.

- In the New York Times,

we have quoted a MiddleEastern intelligence source

that said that Israelwas behind this blast.

- [Chris] Bergman draws noconnection between Israel

and the Homeland Cheetahs.

He suspects the Natanz attack

could be part of a bigger US-Israel plan.

- In another report,

we indicated that thereare American sources,

together with Israeli officials,

are thinking of a new policy towards Iran.

So not just this specificincident, but a bigger policy,

that this sabotage is part of a campaign

of calculated operations, nottrying to open war with Iran,

but trying to send a message that Israel

or the United States, orIsrael and the United States,

would not accept thecontinuation of the advancement

of the Iranian nuclear project.

- [Chris] He adds it'sall part of a secret war

between Iran and Israel and the US

going back more than 30 years

since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

- The war has already started.

It's ongoing.

Just it's not happeningin the battle field

with thousands of tanks and airplanes

but it's happening as warare happening in 2020,

clandestine operations, secretoperatives going undercover,

smuggling explosives intosensitive facilities,

cyber attacks, and everythingthat is happening in Lebanon,

Syria, and Iraq.

- The Clandestine War pitsIran's regional and nuclear goals

against both Israeli and American attempts

to do everything they can to stop Iran

from getting a nuclear bomb

and dominating the Middle East.

Chris Mitchell, CBN News, Jerusalem.

- Well, Iran having anuclear weapon is a nightmare

for every other countryin the Middle East,

and it's also a nightmare for Europe.

They already havedemonstrated missile capacity

to take a missile in Europe.

If there was a nuclear warhead on that,

they can hold huge chunksof the world at hostage.

There's another country that'sleft out of this analysis,

and that is Saudi Arabia.

Keep in mind, it wasn'ttoo long ago that Iran

was behind a drone attackon their refineries

and their oil installations.

And that is somethingthat, keep that in mind.

Saudi Arabia may be part of this as well.

And they may be saying, well,

we need to respond towhat they've already done.

Our secretary of statesaid that was an act of war

when it happened.

And so we're seeing more,and this is all designed

to keep them from having a nuclear weapon.

Well, in other news, noRepublican Convention this year,

and that was just one ofPresident Trump's announcements

at the White House Thursday.

John Jessup has that story

from our CBN News Bureau in Washington.

John?

- That's right, Gordon.

The president is alsoasking Congress to provide

$105 billion in educational funding

in the next coronavirus reliefbill to help schools reopen,

with money for teachers,providing masks, and more.

Heather Sells has the story.

(whooshing)

- The president is stillpushing to reopen schools,

but he acknowledged itmight not be possible

in the hardest-hit areas.

- In cities or statesthat are current hotspots,

and you'll see that in the map behind me,

districts may need to delayreopening for a few weeks.

And that's possible,that'll be up to governors.

- [Heather] But he insisted every school

should be preparing to open,

and said many districts can reopen safely

as long as they havenecessary measures in place.

He's also encouraging parentsto make their own decisions

for their children, andthat may include leaving

the public schools forprivate, charter, religious,

or home schools.

The CDC issued new guidancefor parents on Thursday,

much of it emphasizing theimportance of reopening schools.

The president also called off plans

for the Republican Conventionin Jacksonville, Florida.

- I'll still do a conventionspeech in a different form,

but we won't do a bigcrowded convention, per se.

It's just not the right time for that.

- A small group of delegateswill formally nominate

the president inCharlotte, North Carolina,

in an event that's expectedto last just four hours.

Heather Sells, CBN News.

- Thank you, Heather.

Each day, roughly 20 militaryveterans take their lives.

It's a staggering numberthat the Trump administration

hopes to tackle with a newapproach on prevention.

Second Lady Karen Penceis heading up the effort.

She spoke exclusivelywith CBN's David Brody

about its crucial component of faith.

(whooshing)

- An enduring and pressing emergency,

the rise in veteran suicides,

- [David] A tragedy thatseemingly just won't go away.

- We're here today toconfront a solemn crisis.

- [David] PresidentTrump took steps to help.

(group clapping)

Signing an executive order last year

offering a roadmap of sortsto help stop the heartbreak.

Second Lady Karen Penceserves as the lead ambassador

for the effort known as PREVENTS.

- I saw my role as a way to say,

let's end the stigma andlet's start the conversation.

You know, David, everybodyhas risk factors for suicide.

Every single one of us.

- [David] The numbers are hard to fathom.

Each year, some 47,000suicides across America,

more than 6,000 of them veterans.

That translates toroughly 20 veterans a day,

a rate that doubles thatof the general population.

Too many stories like Justin Miller,

a vet who took his life two years ago,

leaving a grieving family behind.

- He went out to his car.

He looked at his phone.

He saw the text from my dadsaying, "I love you, come home."

And at some point he took his own life.

- There's help for our veterans.

There's help for Americans.

We actually have thingswe're putting into place.

We want people to talk toeach other, and you know,

part of talking to eachother and reaching out

is sharing your faith.

- [David] This weekend, theadministration is looking

to the faith community.

- The research supportsthat there is a connection

between people having an involvement

in their faith communityand having less opportunity

or less desire to commit suicide.

- [David] In an effort called REACH,

the call is going out thisweekend for houses of worship

to directly address suicide.

They hope it will bethe subject of sermons,

feature information aboutprevention and bulletins,

and encourage those in attendance

to take a written pledge

and commit to change thenational conversation

around mental health and suicide.

- One of the main pointsinvolved in the REACH campaign

is letting people know their risk factors.

And one of the risk factorsright now is isolation.

- [David] Indeed, with COVID-19,

the fear of the unknown canbe unsettling for all of us.

- All of us are dealingwith some kind of anxiety

or pressure or fear.

And so what better time to say

it's okay to say you're not okay.

- [David] Since COVID-19 began,

Karen Pence's team has pusheda mental health checklist

that includes askingyourself how you're doing,

talk to family members,

reach out to the SuicidePrevention line if you need help,

and try and give yourself a joyful break.

- What are some thingsthat make you feel happier

or kind of calm you down?

Schedule those into your day.

If it's reading or gardening or cooking

or praying or painting-

- Second lady telling me her hope,

especially in these desperatetimes, comes from above.

This town doesn't give many people hope

in terms of what Congress does,

but what can you sayfrom a faith perspective

as it relates to hope and whatyou want them to know about?

- You know, hope really is the key.

And for me, as you know, I'm a Christian,

and so for me, that's where I get my hope.

And I do think that when we're all low,

sometimes the only personwho's there for me is the Lord.

And so when you actuallycan introduce someone

to that aspect and to say,you know what, there is hope.

There is hope, and there is a way

past this struggle thatyou're in right now.

- [David] And it allbegins with conversation

on a topic that many would rather avoid.

David Brody, CBN News, Washington.

- And such an incredibly important topic,

especially, Gordon, right now.

- Yeah, we shouldn'tavoid this topic at all.

We should really take a hardlook at post-traumatic stress.

Don't no longer call it a disorder,

but it's something thatnaturally happens to people

when they're in combat.

When you're in prolonged,high-tension moments,

like our men and womenin the armed services

have been going through.

Afghanistan is the longestwar in American's history.

And the studies that the armyhas done through the decades,

going all the way back to World War I,

the longer you're in combat situations,

the more likely it isyou're to develop this.

So we need to acknowledge it,no longer call it a disorder,

but it's an injury.

And if someone's injured inbattle, we take care of them.

If they're injured mentally,we take care of them.

One of the best things to do

if you've got this kindof stress from combat

is talk to other people whohave been through combat.

It seems to be naturalto want to isolate it,

want to hide it, but thereare plenty of support groups

with people who have gonethrough what you've gone through,

that have been through it.

And it's talking with them

that gives the most tangible results.

The other important thingis to realize God loves you

and He's with you in this.

And even though you'rewalking through the valley

of the shadow of death,

you don't have to fear anything,because He is with you.

Wendy?- So great.

And so great to see theSecond Lady talk so openly

about her faith, loved that.

Well, coming up,

the most importantelection in our lifetimes?

MyPillow founder, Mike Lindell, thinks so.

He and Paul Crouch Jr. takeus inside the new film,

"Trump 2024," and theyshare what's at stake

when we head to the polls, this November.

Then, blacked out drunk.

A teen parties too hard andwakes up in a car with a man.

What does she do next?

Find out later on today's "700 Club."

(intriguing music)

(intriguing music)

- While most of thecountry is focused on 2020,

one new documentary islooking further down the road.

Producers of "Trump 2024"want to paint two pictures

of what our countrymight look like in 2024.

One, if President Trump isreelected to a second term,

and another if he is not.

Take a look.

(whooshing)

- [Obama] We are five days away

from fundamentally transforming

the United States of America.

- [Dennis] The left, inthe words of Barack Obama,

want to fundamentally transform

the United States of America.

I don't. I want to improvethe United States of America.

- Think Donald Trump'sone of the worst things

to happen to this country.

- When he was elected, I cried.

- The guy has integrity.- I think he's a racist.

- Yeah, Trump is real.

- I think he's a crazy bugger.

- I go, oh, my, my, this isgonna be a problem today.

- So he cusses when he gets mad,

he says things that are brutally honest,

but you have to look past that

and look at what he's donefor this country so far.

- [Man] This is ridiculous.

- [Man] I don't think he'sa typical politician at all.

- He's a danger for the world.- We need to be secure.

- I love America, and Ithink that he does too.

- I cannot forgive him.

- Oh, he said something wrong.It hurt somebody's feelings.

I'm so sorry.

- I mean, let's get really here.

(dramatic music)

- This great republic ofours was built on the notion

of individual liberty, individual freedom,

and that means individual responsibility.

- America is a fragileexperiment in liberty.

The left wishes to undo that experiment.

- This is not about Donald Trump, per se.

This is about principlesto govern a country.

- We are a nation of laws.

- [Man] This is good or bad.

This is whether our countryis gonna get better,

or whether it's gonna get worse.

- Sooner or later, asecularist is gonna win.

- Joining us now viaZoom are Paul Crouch Jr.,

one of the film's producers,

and Mike Lindell, the founder of MyPillow,

and one of the backers of "Trump 2024."

And so, Paul, we'll start off with you.

What do you expect from the film?

Why are you taking this approach?

- Well, I think ourinitial approach was really

to show evangelicals and to show the world

a side of Trump that the secularmedia just will not show.

They are so just adamantabout getting this guy

out of office, to tearingthis guy down, and listen,

there is another side of Donald Trump

that people have not seen,and we want to present it.

- All right. Well, Mike, let's ask you.

What do you think isone of the worst things

that could happen by 2024if Trump is not reelected?

- If he's not reelected, it's doom.

I mean, I can't say it any other way.

I think this is the mostimportant election in history.

I come from a time where I didn't know

anything about politics.

Well, I know now they arethe most important things

that affect our lives every single day.

- Well, let me take the other side

and I'll give it as a toss up.

Either one can answer it.

'Cause I hear this a lot, bothwithin the Christian world

and within the secular world.

And it's along the linesof, as a Christian,

knowing what you know aboutDonald Trump's behavior,

how can evangelical Christiansparticipate in this?

And if he were a member of your church,

wouldn't you have someconcerns about his behavior?

How do you respond to that?

- Can I jump in there, Mike?

I mean, I want to jumpthrough the screen, Gordon.

Listen, we did not elect Donald Trump

to be the pastor of our church,

or my church, or your church.

We elected him to be president.

And one thing that we explore in this film

very, very clearly is, willGod use flawed leaders?

And the answer is absolutely yes.

Look at Peter, look at Paul,

look at anybody that hasbeen used for anything good

in the kingdom.

My parents, your parents,none of us are perfect.

- All right, Mike, I'll letyou throw in on this one.

- Yeah, I'll tell ya, youknow, I'm a flawed person.

I was an ex-crack cocaine addict.

I have firsthand that I got to,

I was blessed to be ableto meet Donald Trump

in a private meeting beforehe was elected president.

So I can tell everyoneout there, you know what?

This is a guy that God haschosen for such a time as this.

He wasn't chosen to bepastor of our church.

It's like this, I'll tell ya.

It's kind of like the doctor thing.

Would you rather have adoctor you really like,

but he doesn't know what he's doing,

or they've done some badoperations for 50 years,

or would you rather have thebest surgeon in the world,

but you just don't likecertain things about him?

- All right, well, you'vereached out to private citizens,

you've reached out to Christiansto help back the project,

what has been the response?

- I've put it out to my social media

to go to trump2024.film,

and I've heard just everyonethat I've talked to,

I think it's been an amazing response,

because everybody realized the seriousness

of what's gonna happencoming up in November.

And we've gotta get the message out there

to people on the left.

This is my message is,it's not just, you know,

people that traditionallydon't know which way to vote

or people on the left,educate them and say,

what are the things she'sdone that's manifested good

in your own life or forour Christian values?

And I think it's been amazing.

- All right, well, the film "Trump 2024"

will be released in September this year.

And if you want to learnmore about the project,

all you have to do isgo to trump2024.film.

That's a unique web address,.film, or more information.

Paul and Mike, thanks for being with us.

- Thanks for having us on.- Thank you.

- We'll be back withmore of the "700 Club"

right after this. stillhad a near fatal crash.

Gordon?

- Well, when Abby was askedif she drank to get drunk,

she said, "Of course, who doesn't?"

Abby described herselfas a blackout drinker

from the get go.

She grabbed the bottle to escape her pain

until the day the addictionnearly cost her her life.

- First time I drank,

I just felt this senseof ease and comfort.

And I just remember beingable to, like, talk easily,

I felt like I was funny.

I felt comfortable in myskin for the first time.

My life just instantlyrevolved around alcohol

from that point.

- [Narrator] From a young age,

Abby Polly had deep insecuritiesand never felt accepted.

- I know as a child Inever felt good enough.

Sometimes I would be comparedto other kids in my class,

so I never quite felt like I measured up.

I didn't get great grades.

I was always trying toget my parents' approval.

- [Narrator] Although sheexcelled at sports in school,

she says she always yearned to feel loved.

- I felt like I had to be thin

in order for other people to love me.

Because I didn't think I was lovable

and I would see magazines

and pictures of women who were thin.

And in my head I thought thatthat's what people wanted.

That's what I thought I neededto be for boys to like me,

for other people to accept me and love me.

- [Narrator] When she was just 10,

Abby received some shocking news.

- People had just always made comments

that I didn't look like my parents.

And so one day I just askedmy mom if I was adopted.

And then she said, "Yes, you were."

And so it kind of shocked me.

I really wasn't, know whatkind of answer I was expecting.

Through at that time, justalways wondering, like,

why did they give me up for adoption?

And, like, where did I come from?

It really left me with a lot of questions

and not knowing who I was.

- [Narrator] Abby's emotional pain

led to a decades-long battlewith anorexia and alcoholism.

- And so I was a blackoutdrinker from the very start

and my life just instantlybegan to revolve around alcohol.

So I was about 15 years oldand I had been at a party

drinking and blacked out,got in a car with a guy.

And when I came to, I didn'tknow what had happened.

And was rushed to the hospitalwhere they did a rape test.

I just remember goinginto school that Monday

and wanting to disappear.

And that was when the bulimia started.

- [Narrator] As she grew older,

Abby's alcohol and drug use got worse.

So did her anorexia.

At one point, her parentsintervened and sent her to rehab.

- I went to the treatmentcenter for my eating disorder.

And when I got there, I hadto fill out a questionnaire

and information which hadasked me about drinking.

You know, it asked me questions like,

do you drink to get drunk?

And that was like, well,of course, you know,

who doesn't drink to get drunk?

So they decided,

they told me I needed tostart going to AA meetings.

- [Narrator] Her stint in rehab helped,

but she soon began drinking again.

It took a near-fatal carcrash to wake her up.

- My life was becomingmore and more unmanageable.

I remember praying and asking God,

even though I didn't know who God was,

or if He even cared about me,or if I even believed in Him,

but asking God for help.

That was when I had a caraccident and hit a telephone pole.

And I feel like that was just God

stopping the madness in my life

and kind of taking me out of my life,

putting me in a hospital bed for five days

where I could detox and not hurt anybody.

- [Narrator] Shortly after,

she visited SoutheastChurch in Louisville.

During the service,

she heard a song by HillsongWorship that changed her life.

- I saw the banner that said,

"Connecting people toJesus and one another,"

so I knew that that was what I wanted.

That's what I was looking for.

And when I walked intothe sanctuary for service,

they played the song,"I Am Who You Say I Am."

So I knew right then

that I was right whereI was supposed to be,

just everything, and the sermon,

and everything just touched my heart.

And I just felt like I had arrived.

I remember that that samefeeling when I drank alcohol

for the first time, that ease and comfort.

But this time it was that Holy Spirit,

- [Narrator] Abby says she accepted Christ

and was water baptized at Southeast.

- And got involved in awomen's study, a Bible study.

I had told the woman,

"I really wanna learn more about Jesus.

I want to learn more about the Bible."

Like, I have always heard about Jesus,

but I didn't know Jesus, andI wanted to get to know Jesus.

Only God can fill that God-sized hole.

And I feel like that'swhat filled me up, finally.

- [Narrator] She alsore-entered a treatment program

for alcohol and her eating disorders.

- Going to the bulimia was my way

of trying to take back control.

I'd just gotten connected,

met other women, other believers,

and learning more about Jesus

and finding my identity in Christ.

And that's really helped merecover from those demons

and those voices that alwaystold me I wasn't good enough,

and seeking approval of other people,

I've learned that the onlyapproval I need is of God,

and He already loves me no matter what.

- [Narrator] Today, Abby ispursuing her bachelor's degree

in education, and hopesto go into missions.

- So right now I feel likeI'm in this kind of period

of waiting and just waiting tosee what God has next for me.

And one of the prayers I alwaystell God is that I'm open,

willing, and ready forwhatever You have for me.

- [Narrator] Abby says she no longer cares

what the world says about who she is.

She knows what God says.

- Now I realized that I am a child of God.

And just like that song,I am who He says I am,

which I'm a child of God,

and really learning what that means.

It's not gonna say on mytombstone, she was thin.

It's just gonna say,

I want it to say that she wasa believer of Jesus Christ.

That's what I wanna be remembered for.

(bright music)

- And let me ask you, what doyou wanna be remembered for?

What's your dream?

For Abby, her dream is now,

I wanna be remembered as a child of God.

That what I want.

Why don't you want?

What's your dream?

You see Abby's journey,

and a lot of us have gonethrough this kind of journey.

Maybe it wasn't as extremeas what Abby went through,

but we're all looking to,

how do we have some kindof control over things?

You heard her clearlysay my bulimia was a way

for me to control.

And you scratch your head at that and go,

well, what's the mechanism behind that?

But she thought if shecould control her weight

and she could be thin enough,then she would be accepted.

The boys with like her, theother women would like her,

or that she would beaccepted, she would fit in.

Alcohol works the same way.

And you heard her very clearly,

I thought I was more sociable,I thought I was likable,

I thought I was this, allbecause I was taking a drink.

Now, when you look at itfrom the outside, looking in,

you go, well, Abby, why areyou believing these things?

But when you're in it, itmakes perfect sense to you.

And you're walking down aroad and you're doing things

that are actually harming you,

but you think it's making you acceptable.

You think it's a way for youto control your environment.

You think it's a way foryou to control your emotions

and that you're somehow a betterperson when you're drinking

or when you're trying to getas skinny as you possibly can.

All of these things arelies and an illusion.

And the reality is nothing'sgoing to fill that hole

until God comes in and yourealize you're a child of God.

Now what happens when you have that?

When you have that experience,suddenly it all clicks.

And this is somethingthat Christian writers

have been saying since Saint Augustine,

that there's a God-shapedhole in your heart

and nothing can fillit until God fills it.

And the reason is He hasput eternity in our hearts.

That's what King Solomon wrotelong ago, 3,000 years ago.

He's put eternity in our hearts.

You can't fill it up withenough drugs, enough alcohol,

enough fame, enoughmoney, enough progress,

enough whatever, you can't fill it.

It's only filled with Him.

The reason, and it's a profound reason,

you and I were made in His image.

We are His children.

We were made specificallyfor our relationship

with the God of the entire universe.

That is why He put eternity in our hearts.

That is why He's given us free will.

That is why all of thesethings have come to be,

because He wanted peoplewho were made in His image

that He could come inthe cool of the evening

and talk with us.

It's an amazing revelation.

And when you have it, and Abbygot it, she finally got it,

it makes all the difference.

And now suddenly you don't want the things

that you use to want.

You want to be known as a child of God.

Now, for Abby, it was a journey.

When she first started that journey,

she really didn't even know who God was.

She didn't even know how to approach Him.

She didn't even know how to pray.

But here's the great news,she went on the journey.

She took the first step.

Then she started going to church.

Then she started reading the Bible.

Then she started to findingout the character of God,

the names of God, whatGod wants to be known for,

how He wants to be yourDeliverer, your Provider,

your Healer, yourSavior, you're a Rescuer,

your Banner, your Ever Present One.

He's given us all thesewonderful attributes

He's described himself perfectly,

so that we could come toHim, and He could once again

come in the cool of theevening and talk with you.

He wants to open your ears,He wants to open your eyes,

so that you could see thegreatness of His power

towards us who believe.

That is worth everything.

When you finally have that,

when you finally havethat encounter with Him,

it changes everything.

If you want to start thisjourney, and it is a journey,

if you want to start it,

here's a very simple prayer for you.

Jesus, if You're real, ifYou really can change me,

if You really can forgive me,

if You really are the Messiah,if You really are my Savior,

if You really love me, could You show me?

Could You show up for me?

This isn't a prayer you do casually.

This is a prayer youdo with all your heart,

everything that's within you.

And when you do that, the Bible promises,

"When you seek Me with all of your heart,

then you'll find me."

For Abby, that processstarted after our car wreck.

For you, it can start right now.

So bow your head,

say that prayer with all ofyour heart, and He'll show up.

what He did for Abby, He can do for you.

What He did for me, He can do for you.

All you have to do is ask.

to children all over the world.

(whooshing)

- [Narrator] When Pat Linhartdiscovered "Superbook,"

she knew it was the perfectway to teach her grandchildren

about the Bible.

- It's something that Ididn't have as a child.

I grew up in a church wherethey didn't really teach

from the Bible.

All the stories of the Old Testament,

I had no clue what they were about.

My little three-year-old grandson

knows more about the Bible stories

than I did when I was in my 30s,

that's why I'm just sopassionate about "Superbook."

Sometimes I watch him watching it,

he doesn't even blink his eyes. (laughs)

He is so spellbound by it.

So if he can get thesestories as a three-year-old,

the foundation is there.

- [Narrator] Whenever it'stime for a celebration,

Pat knows exactly what presents to give.

- I love to give"Superbook" to my grandkids

at Christmas, Easter, birthdays,

and all the times in between.

As soon as I get one in themail from the Superbook Club,

they get that one that week,and they look so forward to it.

homeschools her children,

and she's always on thelookout for wholesome

and educational learningtools like "Superbook."

- Quality of "Superbook"is really excellent.

CBN is giving parents atool to impart our faith

to the next generation.

- What "Superbook" has done for me

is it's made me get into the Word of God,

to when faced with acrisis or a dilemma, say,

okay, what does the Word ofGod say about this problem?

How could I solve it that way?

I think once you watchone, you'll be hooked,

She'll take us behind the scenes

of her latest romanticcomedy, "Home Sweet Home,"

right after this.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

Well, long before she was oldenough to join social media,

Natasha Bure was hostingher own pretend web series.

Well, now she doesn'thave to pretend anymore.

She has hundreds of thousands of followers

across Facebook and Instagram,

and she's using those platforms

to spread an encouraging message.

(whooshing)

- [Narrator] Natasha Bureis a singer, actress,

and social media personality.

She also has a famous mom,actress Candace Cameron Bure.

In 2016, Natasha auditioned

on the popular show, "The Voice."

Not yet 22, she's alreadyhad roles in three movies.

Her latest work is themovie, "Home Sweet Home,"

in which she plays ayoung woman who senses

there's more to life than she's found,

but she doesn't know what.

- My go-to Scripture's Matthew 19:26.

- Natasha Bure joins us now via Skype.

Wow, Natasha, you'vebeen a busy girl lately.

- I have. (laughs)

- Great to have you on the show.

As we mentioned, everyone knows your mom

and loves your mom, Candace Cameron,

your father, former NHLplayer, Valeri Bure.

Tell us what was it like growing up

with this celebrity household?

- You know, I get that question a lot

and honestly it felt likegrowing up in a normal family.

I don't really know anydifferent, so I can't compare,

but I grew up just having two parents

who treated me the sameas every other parent.

And they give us rules and grounded us

and all the normal things that parents do.

So it wasn't too crazy.

I think more, as I'm an adult,

I see it a little bitdifferently, but it was great.

I love my parents

and I have such a greatrelationship with them.

- Well, you've grown up inthe age of social media.

What was your family's stancetowards you being online,

and how early did they let you go online?

- Yeah, so my parents wereactually pretty strict

about letting me online

and having any sort ofsocial media presence

until I was about, I wannasay it was 15 when I started,

and now I feel like that'seven still pretty young,

but there's kids who arenine and 10 years old

who are on social media, andI couldn't even imagine that,

because it's obviously sucha big part of our world now,

but just not having themajority necessarily

to understand just thecapacity of how large

and how big and scary socialmedia can sometimes be

and the Internet is,

so my parents weredefinitely very protective

when I was younger about it.

- So what happened afteryou'd been on social media

for a while, you say it happened,

and you started gettingbombarded with pictures

of airbrushed, beauty, reality rather,

what did that do to you?

- I mean, I feel like it's thesame for every single person.

We are constantly fed on a daily basis

these images of what beauty is.

And I don't really think thatthere's a beauty standard.

We're all so different and we're unique

and that's what makes us beautiful.

And I think it's soimportant to embrace that.

But a lot of times whenyou are fed these images,

it can kind of get to your head

and you feel like you're not good enough

and you start comparing.

And I always say comparisonis the thief of joy.

And it's just, there's no fun in that.

And so I have to be reallyconscious with my thoughts.

I'm not saying that I'm perfect

and that I don't ever compare myself,

because that would be a total lie.

But I do try to be reallyconscious about my thoughts

and make sure that they'repositive and uplifting

and that I'm feeding that sameenergy out to other people

so they don't feel likethey should ever compare

themselves to me.

- And you have thousands offollowers across social media.

What is your message tothem? Your overall message?

- My overall message has always just been,

through all my platformsin my life in general,

just to be the best versionof you that you can be.

God made us all so unique

and I think that's beautifuland that's awesome.

And it would be such a wasteto try to spend so much time

being someone that you're not

and not embracing thequalities that were given to us

that are different thanthe person next to you.

And so I think if you wake up every day

and you just strive to be thebest person that you can be,

that's just the best thingthat you can do for yourself.

- That's right, 'causeGod doesn't make mistakes.

He made you with thehair color He gave you,

and the height you are,and the skin color you are.

So that's such a great message.

Let's talk about your new movie now.

"Home Sweet Home" releasedearlier this year.

In it, you play a youngwoman named Victoria.

Tell us about this.

- Yeah, so I play Victoria.

She's a very flirty, self-centered barista

and she's very used to flirtingwith guys and, you know,

kind of being in and outof little relationships

and she meets Jason and thingsjust kind of start to unfold

because he is working in ministry

and she kind of has noidea about ministry at all.

And she, instead of justbeing upfront and honest,

she kind of fakes her way through

knowing all of thesethings about ministry.

And it's, specifically,they're working on a home

and building homes forpeople who can't afford them

or are less fortunate.

And so she even tries to fakeher way about construction

and things like that,just to get his attention

and just to get him to like her.

So the story unfolds and she learns

not only a lot about faith,

but she learns a lot about herself

and just to stay true to who she is.

- Wow, we're looking at theimages of the clips right now.

It looks like a fun movie.

What is the message thatyou want people to take away

after they watch this?

- I think it's really similarto the overall message

that me, just as Natasha, loves to share,

which, again, is just beingthe best version of you.

But I think another big keymessage is that it's okay

to just be open about whateverstage of life that you're in.

And we don't always have topretend like we're perfect

and we have it all together,because none of us do.

And we're all learning and we're growing,

and every single day isa learning experience.

And especially for Victoria,

she's kind of just lostand she's finding her way.

And instead of being honest about it,

she kind of tries to weaselher way in situations.

And obviously I don'twanna spoil the movie,

but you'll see the outcome.

But I think it's just aperfect message in real life

just to really just beopen about who you are

and be okay with growingand be okay with learning.

- Natasha, we are at a time.
