- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Announcer] Coming up...

- I know you can't be with your family.

I am your family.

- [Announcer] Diagnosis? COVID-19.

- [Doctor] We had no clueabout how to treat it,

at that time.

- [Announcer] This fatherwas crashing quickly.

- Essentially, a complete body shutdown,

where you just don't back from.

- [Announcer] Leavingbehind a wife and 11 kids.

- [Mother] The doctors have told me

that they've done everything they can,

he is not going to make it.

- [Announcer] See whythey put faith over fear.

- [Mother] But I need to trust you.

I know that you've got us.

- [Announcer] On today's 700 Club.

(dramatic music)

- Welcome to The 700 Club.

Massive destruction, everywhere.

Hurricane Laura poundedLouisiana for 11 hours,

unleashing winds of 150 miles an hour.

- That's right.

And Laura took the livesof at least 6 people,

demolished homes and businesses,

and left thousandswithout power and water.

Paul Strand has the story.

- [Paul] People are picking up the pieces

after Laura raged for 11hours across Louisiana

as a massive hurricane,

taking the lives of atleast 6 people in the state,

and knocking out power for 900,000,

leaving behind a trail of devastation.

But governor John Bel Edwardssays it could have been worse.

- First of all, it is clearthat we did not sustain

and suffer the absoluteabsolute catastrophic damage

that we thought was likelybased on the forecast

we had last night,

but we have sustained atremendous amount of damage.

- [Paul] Hundreds of thousandsfled from the hurricane,

but some stayed behind.

Those who didn't evacuatefaced 150 mile-an-hour winds

and hid out where they could.

- There was four of us, itwas like a jigsaw puzzle,

in this closet.

We were on top of each other,

just holding each other, crying.

- [Paul] Areas around hard-hithit Lake Charles saw massive

and widespread destruction.

Lines and trees down everywhere.

Homes crushed and vehicles knocked over.

Businesses damaged.

CBN Contributor ChuckHolton is in Lake Charles

where wind made the biggest impact,

knocking out power and water service.

- One of the places that thiswater shortage is most acute

is right here at St. Patrick's Hospital.

They need tanker truckslike this to bring them more

than 30,000 gallons of water a day,

to be able to servethe 150 or 200 patients

who are being cared for here.

And if they don't get that water,

they're going to have toshut down this hospital,

and evacuate all the patients

to some place else in the state.

- The hospitals, they don't have water,

and we're providing them water right now,

on an emergency basis.

But the length of time it would take

to repair the water mains,

to identify the breaks and repair them,

it could require forevacuating the hospitals,

which would be--

If we could avoid that, we will.

- [Paul] CBN's OperationBlessing arrived in Louisiana

shortly before the storm hit,

and is helping those in need

in the midst of Laura's devastation.

- Operation Blessingand our assessment team

is on the ground in Louisiana,

ready to serve the community,

specifically with the construction trailer

that we already have here,

filled with materialsto do tarping on roofs,

mucking and gutting of housesthat have been flooded,

and tree removal with our chain saws,

and any kind of debrisclean-up that's needed

for the community here.

- Operation Blessing'steam will be working

in Lake Charles and surrounding areas,

connecting with local church leadership

to see what the needsare in those communities.

In other news, the Presidentspoke on the White House lawn

where he accepted his party's nomination

in front of roughly 1500 supporters.

CBN's White HouseCorrespondent Ben Kennedy

brings us the story.

- President Trump called thisthe most important election

in the history of our country.

During his speech, hemade the bold promise

of delivering a coronavirusvaccine by the end of the year,

if not sooner.

- Let us pray.

- [Ben] Evangelist FranklinGraham opened the last night

of the RNC in prayer.

- Our country is facing trouble.

Tens of thousands are inthe path of a deadly storm.

The pandemic has grippedmillions of hearts with fear.

We're divided.

- [Ben] Speakers talkedabout how prayer is needed

more than ever, as protestsand riots spiked nationwide.

- Black Lives Matter andAntifa sprang into action,

and in a flash, they hijackedthe peaceful protests

into vicious, brutal riots.

Soon protests turned into riots

in many other American cities.

- [Ben] Cities like St. Louis,

where retired Police Capt.David Dorn was killed

during violent protests in thewake of George Floyd's death.

The officer's widow couldnot hold back tears,

when sharing his story.

- David is never, never coming back to me.

He was murdered by people who didn't know,

and just didn't care.

- [Ben] Ann pointed out howPresident Trump was willing

to deploy the NationalGuard to protect people.

- Violence and destructionare not legitimate

forms of protest.

They do not safeguard black lives.

They only destroy them.

President Trump understands this.

- [Ben] Alice Johnson recountedhow the President cared

by commuting her sentenceof life in prison

for drug offenses.

- When President Trump heard about me,

about the injustice of my story,

he saw me as a person.

He had compassion and he acted.

- Tonight, I stand beforeyou as the proud daughter

of the people's President.

- [Ben] First Daughterand presidential advisor

introduced her father,President Donald Trump.

- My fellow Americans, our First Lady,

and the 45th presidentof the United States,

Donald J. Trump.

- [Ben] The crowd gathered onthe South Lawn welcomed Trump

as he delivered hisnomination acceptance speech.

- I profoundly accept this nomination

for president of the United States.

(audience cheering)

- [Ben] Trump then tookaim at his opponent.

- Joe Biden is not asavior of America's soul.

He is the destroyer of America's jobs.

And if given the chance,he will be the destroyer

of American greatness.

Tonight, I ask you a simple question:

How can the Democrat partyask to lead our country,

when it spends so much timetearing down our country?

- [Ben] He touted thestrong economy, trade deals,

low unemployment, Supreme court picks

and his response to the coronavirus,

for reasons to vote Trump in November.

- When I'm reelected,the best is yet to come.

(audience cheering)

- [Audience] Four more years!

Four more years!

(fireworks and cheering)

- Next up is the first debatebetween Trump and Biden.

Although House Speaker NancyPelosi advised on Thursday

for the Democrat not to participate,

no time or date has been set,

but both parties have agreedto at least three debates

before November 3rd.

Ben Kennedy, CBN News.

- Well with us now fromour Washington Bureau

is our CBN News ChiefPolitical Analyst, David Brody.

David, how do you rate thePresident's speech last night?

- Well, I think the grade mapis a bit all over the place.

First of all, from a contentperspective, look, it was an A.

But let's do a couple disclaimers.

I'll be honest with you,

I thought it was too long of a speech.

He gets a D for the length of the speech,

over 70 minutes or so.

And I though he was a bitflat, quite frankly, Gordon.

So I'll give him a C on presentation.

I know, why do I have afeeling a phone might ring

in a moment?

But it's true.

I mean, he was just kind of flat.

And I think part of thereason for that, Gordon,

is you had it at the White House, right?

So very ceremonial, very prestigious,

very gravitas surrounding.

And yet you had folks in the crowd

who wanted to make it a MAGA rally.

And so he was kinda caughtbetween a MAGA rally

and being at the White House.

He was trying to split the difference.

I didn't think it worked.

Now having said that, froma content perspective,

I thought he did a very good job,

and I think it's awinning message in 2020,

as it relates to law andorder and public safety

and Biden is really bad for America,

specifically his policies that he promotes

with the far Left.

So, content-wise, if you can get

through all of the disclaimers,

I thought overall it was pretty good.

- Well, it seems like he'srunning on his record.

There was a lot ofanticipation it would be

a lot of Biden bashing.

He did that, but thatwasn't the bulk of it,

the bulk of it wastalking about his record.

- You know, Gordon, that'sa really good point.

That was something thatcaught my eye, too.

You know, we've heard a lot,especially from Mike Pence,

who goes around saying,"Promises made, promises kept."

That's a big line thatMike Pence likes to use

on the campaign trail orthe virtual campaign trail.

And that's what we saw fromthe President Thursday night.

I felt that was actually pretty effective.

He went down the litany of hey, look--

I mean, not that he would say it this way,

but a lot of others said it, which is--

you might not like me,necessarily, but I do deliver.

And evangelicals canattest to that, for sure.

So I thought it was pretty effective.

And I also will say, beyondjust the Biden bashing,

he actually had a forward-looking agenda.

Ten million new jobsthat he plans to create.

He says we'll have a vaccineby the end of the year.

And he went down a lotof other issues as well.

So it wasn't just a Biden bash-a-thon.

- Is this the end of conventions?

It seemed like, for both parties,

the convention really didn't happen.

A lot of that has to do with the virus,

all of it has to do with the virus.

But, are conventions now over?

- No, I don't think conventions are over.

I think this is a blip, Gordon.

I really do.

Look, I think conventions are important.

They're probably notas important this year.

But remember, conventions,as you know Gordon,

have to do with energy and motivation,

not just around the countrybut in the halls, specifically.

In other words, that'sa place to strategize

and get people togetherand caucus and meet

and get a game plan.

It's a little bit harderto do it virtually.

So there is some value to it,

just from a boots-on-the-groundperspective.

I don't think so.

I'll be interesting tofind out what the bounce

from this convention will be.

You know, Joe Biden did not get any bounce

from his convention.

Hillary Clinton got aplus-four bounce in 2016.

Donald Trump also got a fourpoint bounce as well in 2016.

We'll see.

My spidey sense, mypolitical spidey sense,

senses that this race isactually getting closer.

I know we've seen a lotof the polls out there,

but look, I gotta tell you,not only do I believe--

we've reported on this, actually--

that there is an underlyingsecret Trump vote out there.

Beyond all of that, you get the sense

that the Republicans and Trump,they're really coalescing

around this message of law and order.

And I have to tell you,

that if riots in the streets continue,

and the coronavirus casesdecrease, there's the path,

I mean, just from a political standpoint,

and from an event standpoint,

that could be the trickfor Donald Trump in 2020.

- Last question:

Do you read anything into the ratings?

It looks like the ratings

for the Democrats weren't that great.

We don't have the finalratings yet for last night,

but it looks like the Republicansout-rated the Democrats.

Is there anything to that?

- Well, the Democrats werepretty stilted, quite frankly,

in their presentation.

I mean, you know, great EvaLongoria and Julia Louis-Dreyfus

and all that.

But it just felt very--

It was on tape, most of it was.

It was very subdued, relatively boring.

I mean, politics, to begin with,

is not necessarilysomething you're gonna say,

"Hey kids, let's all gather around",

though we should gatheraround the television set.

But it really wasn't presented well.

This week was much different.

So I'll be curious to seewhat the final ratings are.

I know the ratings weren't offto a great start on day one,

but look, after last night,Gordon, Thursday night

with the fireworks and the flags,

I need to buy stock inflags, American flags.

How many American flags am I gonna see

at the Republican National Convention?

And then, I still think they'repicking up the fireworks

this morning from the Washington Monument.

- All right.

Well, David, we'll be looking at riots,

we'll be looking at virus cases,

and if that's the path forward,that's the path forward.

Thank you.

- Mm-hmm, thanks Gordon.

- Ashley.

- All right, well still ahead,

in a coma and on a ventilator.

This man was dying from COVID.

His doctors had no clue how to treat him.

So what did he do instead?

But first...

Chokeholds, knees on necks,and no-knock warrants.

How can we eliminate these deadly tactics?

That's the question coming up.

(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

- Defunding the police.

While this issue hasdominated the headlines

during the racial unrestunderway in America,

it's also diverted attention away

from deadly law enforcement tactics

that should be eliminated altogether.

CBN National SecurityCorrespondent Eric Phillips

has the story.

- We know it's importantfor law enforcement

to have an advantage whenit comes to fighting crime.

As recent events prove, however,

some practices are questionable at best,

illegal and potentially deadly at worst.

- I call everybody my baby,

you're like my son.

And that's the only way thatI can look at the community

as if they are blood-related to me.

And so that means that they trust me.

They trust me to hear whatit is that they're saying.

- [Eric] Officer Carol Adamshas been patrolling the streets

of Richmond, Virginia,for more than 20 years.

She was personally andprofessionally horrified

by the George Floyd killing.

- Me, as a mother, yes,outraged at what I saw.

You know, we're really, really frustrated,

because we work really, really hard

to build relationships with our community.

And all it takes isone incident like that,

and so many others,

for everybody to lump us together.

- [Eric] It began with thevideo, difficult to watch,

yet unforgettable, once seen.

- Ahh!

Mama! Mama!

- [Eric] A police tactical hold,

legal at the time in Minneapolis,

that led to George Floyd's death.

- Putting his knee on his neck,

and sitting there in arelatively calm position,

tells you he should've gotten off of him.

- [Eric] Mike Jones isa retired police chief

and law enforcement consultant

with more than 40 years experience.

He believes the arrestingofficer reaches a point

of caretaker, rather than enforcer.

- And the minute a person is handcuffed,

he becomes your personal responsibility,

as a police officer.

You have to take care of that person.

- I can't breathe!

I can't breathe!

- [Eric] The same picturesand chilling words

had happened six years earlieras police held a black man

in a chokehold.

Eric Garner was arrested in New York City

for illegally selling cigarettes,

and he died after officersused the tactic already banned

by their department.

Rev. Markel Hutchinsis a community activist

based in Atlanta Georgia.

- So I do personally thinkchokeholds should be outlawed.

And we should never again in America

see a law enforcementprofessional put their knee

on anyone's neck.

- [Eric] Another controversialtactic facing backlash,

no-knock warrants.

We've seen how they can go wrong,

especially in Louisville, Kentucky,

when police kicked in the door

of Breonna Taylor's apartment.

Believing it was an illegal break-in

because of no verbalidentification from officers,

Taylor's boyfriend firedhis legally-registered gun.

Police responded with 20 rounds,

killing 26-year-old Taylor.

In 2006, Atlanta policerushed into the house

of 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston,

and shot her to death,

after she also fired herlegally-registered gun in fear.

Turns out, police had the wrong house.

- What ultimately killedKathryn Johnston was the lie

that was told to obtainthe no-knock warrant.

So I think the key is making sure

that there are legislative perimeters

and real restrictions and requirements

placed on their usage.

- [Eric] Adams believesthe big part of the answer

lies in national standards,like those recommended

by the President's Task Forceon 21st Century Policing,

created after the policeshooting of Michael Brown

in Ferguson, Missouri.

The 2014 report focused on areas

such as building trust and legitimacy,

policy and oversight,

community policing,

training and education,

and officer's wellness and safety.

- Now, it's time to make it something

that everyone has to buy into,

in every department should be regulated.

- [Eric] She admits, however,

regulating policy is one thing,

regulating the heart is another.

- If an officer reallysees both consciously

and subconsciously thehumanity and the person

that they're policing,

they simply wouldn't be ableto put them in a chokehold.

- It's also going to take an investment

in the type of person thatwe bring into police work.

- [Eric] Dr. Patrick Oliver agrees.

He is the Director of theCriminal Justice program

at Cedarville University,

a Christian college in Ohio.

He says officers mustbe selected carefully.

- And this job is only for people

who are honorable men that love truth,

who will judge rightly, andwho will do what is right.

- Those I spoke to say better training

and more checks and balances

will help lessen these deadlyincidents that we've seen.

They also say the standardhas to be set and enforced

from the top down.

Eric Philips, CBN News.

- This isn't a call to defund the police.

This is a call to fund the police

and fund the trainingnecessary to make sure

that the judgment callsthat they are making

on the streets, are correct.

And so, how many differentscenarios do they go through,

and practice and practice and practice

so that in the heat of the moment,

they're not losing their cool,

they know what they're doing,

and they're making accurate decisions

based on what they havebeen trained to do?

Now, this is going to be difficult to do,

it's not going to be easy.

I think both the war ondrugs and the war on terror

have absolutely ramped up our police,

and they have a lot ofmilitary-grade equipment,

which for a civilian population,

literally doesn't make any sense.

Can we start with banning chokeholds?

Yeah, I think that would be a great start.

Can we ban no-knockwarrants so that people know

that it's police at the doorand they're not bringing

their weapons to bear,thinking it's some invasion,

and their lives are at risk?

Let's get accurate on our search warrants,

so that we're not doingthis kind of thing,

we're not making these kinds of mistakes.

But most of all, do wehave the training necessary

for our police?

Do they have the experience that's needed?

No one in America shouldever die in police custody.

Let's make sure we can do that,

we can have a nation withliberty and justice for all.

Ashley.

- Amen to that.

Well up next, on lifesupport and on dialysis,

this man's body was shutting down.

Doctors said he would never make it.

So how did he survive tocelebrate his 25th anniversary?

You have to see it to believe it.

Coming up.

(positive music)

(upbeat music)

David Henry was as good as dead.

He was on life support, dialysis,

and his body had completely shut down.

Doctors said he was pastthe point of no return.

So how did his family chooseto put faith over fear?

Take a look.

- It's been a nightmare.

- We could get in the range of 100,000.

- Ten times more lethalthan the season flu.

- I had to leave and say goodbye to him.

- We're asking everyone towork at home if possible,

postpone unnecessary travel.

- The risk to Americans is still very low.

- In one shift, Ipronounced six people dead.

- Just kissed him onthe forehead and said,

"I'll see ya soon."

- [Narrator] By late March,the new global battle

against COVID-19 had costthousands their lives.

Michelle Henry feared her husbandDavid would be among them.

- Our 25th anniversary,we were so excited about,

and had big plans.

It was just a month away,

and I was afraid he wouldn't be here.

- [Narrator] David was one ofthe first 10 COVID-19 patients

at Marion General Hospital in Indiana.

Doctors quickly put him intoa medically-induced coma,

and on a ventilator.

- What was humbling was thefact that we had no clue

about how to treat it, at that time.

A lot of fear and a lot of unknown.

- [Narrator] Michelle, apastor, remembers trying

to console their 11 children.

- This is part of the treatment,

and we're just gonnacontinue praying and trusting

and God is good, God is still good.

- I wanted him to know thatI'm going to pray with him,

and even if he's not able to pray,

I'm still going to pray with him.

For people like myself, who believe,

it was very important to say,

"Look, I know you can'tbe with your family.

"I am your family."

- [Narrator] David was later transferred

to Lutheran Hospital,where he only got worse.

- They called me laterthat night and they said,

"You need to considergiving us authorization

"for a do-not-resuscitate order."

God, I need you, I needyou now more than ever.

And David needs you.

And I can't be there with him.

And if he goes, and I don'tget to be there with him,

I just can't imagine that.

But I need to trust you.

I know that you've got us.

- [Narrator] As David remainedin critical condition,

the community responded

with overwhelming prayer and support.

- When David was firstadmitted to the hospital,

he put down on his Facebook status,

"Please pray for my family and I,

"as I've been admitted to the hospital."

And then he put, "Choosingto have faith over fear."

As this went on, people hadgrabbed onto that phrase.

- [Narrator] Still, Davidcontinued to decline.

- He's on life support, he's on dialysis,

he is on a machine to exchange oxygen.

Essentially, a complete body shutdown,

where you just don't come back from.

- I called my kids tothe stairs and I said,

"The doctors have told methat they've done everything

"they can and he's not getting better,

"and we have to accept thathe is not going to make it."

One of my sons, throughhis own tears, he said,

"It's going to be okay.

"God's got this.

"He's up to something."

- [Narrator] As the dayspassed, David held on.

Slowly, signs of hope appeared,

as David's lungs and vitalsigns began to improve.

- God was answering prayers,very specific prayers.

And so those little thingsare really what gave me

the most hope.

- [Narrator] David had beenin a coma for over two weeks,

when on April 12th, EasterSunday, Michelle got a call.

- I picked up the phone, and I lost it.

And of course, the kidsall thought the worst,

because I'm crying andthey know the hospital

is the only reason I answered the phone.

And I just said, "Dad's awake!

"He's awake!"

- Over me was a nurse, and she said,

"You're at LutheranHospital in Fort Wayne.

"Do you remember your name?"

"My name is David Henry,

"and I'm a child of the one true God."

- From that moment on, I just knew

that God was really going to do it.

I knew that he was coming home.

- [Narrator] Davidspent the next few weeks

slowly regaining strength andfunction, and attending rehab.

(clapping and cheering)

Then on May 6th, 40 daysafter being hospitalized,

David tested negative for the COVID virus,

and was finally able to go home.

- To get that hug and to see them,

and know that God hadbeen faithful to them,

through my struggles.

- I just glanced at Mrs.Henry, who glanced at me,

and we nodded each other,

because the victory was David's and God's.

- [Narrator] Not only wereDavid and Michelle able

to enjoy their 25th anniversary,

David was there to walk hisdaughter down the aisle.

The Henry's believed it was all possible

through expert care, prayer,and a loving, powerful God.

- He never left us.

Even if we had lost David,

I know for a fact, Godwould have never left us.

And I'll never be the same.

- There's no way to sayanything other than,

but God stepped inintervened in our behalf.

- Wow, amen to that.

God is with you.

He's never gonna leave you.

He's never gonna forsake you.

He's right there with you,even in your suffering.

God is good, amen?

- Amen.

We've got some reports, other miracles.

Here's Connie from Sarasota, Florida.

Had an irritating lumpdevelop behind her ear.

Doctor immediately recommended surgery.

And then one day, she waswatching The 700 Club,

and Terry said, "Someone hasa tumor behind your right ear.

"It's inside of your head.

"It's blocking your hearing.

"There was a bad prognosisfor you, but not anymore.

"Jesus has healed you.

"As quickly as it came,it's going to melt away."

Well, Connie knew the wordof knowledge was for her.

Within three days, thelump was completely gone.

- [Ashley] Come one,well, we got another one.

This is from Janis of Miami, Florida.

She suffered from hammertoes for years,

and while watching The 700Club, she was surprised

when Gordon mentionedher specific condition.

He said, "There's someone,you've got hammertoes.

"God is saying, I can evenrestore, I can renew, your youth.

"I can give you life and give your energy.

"So in Jesus' name,receive that breath of life

"over you right now.

"That toe be restored in Jesus' name."

Janis believed andlooked down at her feet.

Her toes uncurled, and the pain eased.

She knew she was healed.

She hasn't had any pain or problems since.

- Wow, wow.

That is a miracle.

Doctors will tell you that never happened.

Tumors just don't melt away.

Hammertoes just don't extend.

But in heaven they do.

And we are authorized to pray

that God's will would be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

So when you start thinking about heaven,

does anybody have a hammertoe?

No.

Does anybody have a tumor?

No.

Does anybody have cancer?

No.

Does anybody have COVID?

No.

Be just like David in that story.

When he came to consciousness,they asked, you know,

"Who are you?"

And he said, "Well, I'm achild of the living God,

"that's who I am."

Who are you?

Are you God's child?

If you are, is He a good Daddy to you?

And the answer to all ofthat is yes, yes, and amen.

So let's pray.

Let's come boldly to thethrone of grace, as children.

We get to go to the Kingof Kings, as our Father.

What a wonderful privilege that is.

We get to go right to the throne of grace,

and receive what we ask for.

So Ashley and I are going to pray.

What I want you to do is,

in an act of faith,

could you please lay a handon that area of the body

that needs healing?

God's looking for faith,

that's what He's looking for.

So in an act of faith, layyour hand, we'll agree.

The Bible says "When two ormore agree touching anything,

"it shall be done for themby our Father in heaven."

So let's come to Daddy,

and do that and pray and agree and touch.

And Daddy is going to do the rest.

Let's pray.

Lord, we lift the needsof the audience to you,

and we just come to youas your little children,

the ones that you adore,

the ones that are your beloved,

the ones that you died for,

the ones that, by your stripes,are healed, were healed.

The ones who are forgiven and cleansed

from all unrighteousness.

Lord, as people are layinghands on that area of the body,

we join with them and we agree with them,

and we say out loud, "Behealed and be made whole,

"in the name of Jesus.

"I am a child of the living God,

"and the stripes and theblood of Jesus Christ

"has healed me and has restored me.

"I receive it now, in Jesus' name."

There's someone, your name is Helen,

and you're laying your lefthand on your left knee.

And God is healing that knee right now.

All of that pain, it's likeit just drained all away.

What you couldn't do before, do now,

and receive healing throughout that joint.

There's someone else,you've got a bad sprain

in your right ankle.

God is healing that.

He's taking all the pain.

- Sophia Kunst is a young entrepreneur

with so much demand for her product,

she has a hard time keeping up.

So what does Sophia say isthe secret to her success?

Well, you're about to find out.

- [Narrator] Sophia Kunst was 12 years old

when she started knitted blankets,

a hobby she picked upfrom her grandmother.

One day, she ran into a snag.

She was running out of yarn.

- I didn't have enoughmoney to buy more yarn,

because the yarn I liketo make blankets with

is more expensive.

- [Narrator] Sophia's momCourtney suggested she use

the remaining yarn and weavea wall tapestry, and sell it.

So they found a designonline, and for three days,

Sophia sat at her loom,weaving her creation.

When it was finished,

Courtney posted it on Facebook for sale.

- As soon as I posted it,

she was getting comments,like, right away.

And then, someonemessaged me, and was like,

"I want it, take it off,tell everyone it's sold."

And I was like, "Soph, youjust sold your first tapestry!"

And she was super-excited.

- When it sold, I was extremely surprised.

I did not expect it to sell.

- [Narrator] It wasn't just the one,

three more orders came in that same day.

Soon, what used to be ahobby became a business,

Interwoven by Sophia Grace.

- It made me feel reallyhappy and excited.

I got to work on them the next day.

- [Narrator] With her parent's guidance,

the now 13-year-oldentrepreneur began learning

the ins and outs of running a business,

including a system to handle money.

- Well, before we can spend our money,

we have to to put it into the jars.

The first jar is the tithe jar,

and that goes to the church.

- Honestly, tithing issomething that I grew up with.

My parents always tithed 10%,

and it always went to the church.

- I think it's important to do it,

because God calls us to,

but it's also a great way to show

that He's our provider.

- At the root of it, it's an opportunity

to practice trusting God.

The more we can train them in that way

to first and foremost knowthat they can trust God,

I think, the better jobwe've done as parents.

- [Narrator] In her first six months,

Sophia started selling her tapestries

at two consignment shops, inaddition to her online sales.

During busy times, sheeven enlisted the help

of her younger sister tofill the extra orders.

- I never thought I would bein a store with tapestries.

It's gotten really busy at times.

Around Christmas time, Iwas doing one every day.

Sometimes, like, two a day.

- Aside from any financial blessing,

it's just a greatexperience for the family.

It allows her to connectwith her siblings, too.

So, the whole thing hasbeen a blessing for us.

- [Narrator] In its first year of business

Interwoven by Sophia Gracehas sold over 100 tapestries

and has no fears of running out of yarn.

Sophia is excited for theopportunity to continue

her giving to God and Hiswork through helping others.

- The business has been way busier

than we thought it was going to be.

I think God's going touse this for something,

like she definitelyseems like she's blessed,

and His hand is on her business.

- I believe Jesus said whatever you give,

you will get it back in the same measure.

I don't believe it's veryliteral, but more of,

you give money, you getjoy, because I know I do.

- Wow, such wisdom.

When you give money, you get joy.

And that couldn't be more than the truth.

It is so much better togive than to receive.

Jesus talks about that.

You see that in the scriptures.

And if you are a child of God,

we're called to reflect ourFather in heaven, right?

Well, God is a giver.

He is a giving God.

So, as a child of God, we'recalled to also be giving,

- Well up next...

Losing their religion.

What is it about college that'sstripped so many students

of their faith?

And how can they learn tostand by their beliefs?

Entrepreneur and authorScott Shay has the answers,

right after this.

(dramatic, contemporary music)

(upbeat music)

- It's perfectly rationalto believe in God.

So why is the new atheistmovement having such

a profound influenceon students in college?

Well, that's a question Scott Shay asks

and he decided to find the answer.

Take a look.

- [Narrator] Scott Shay is theson of a Holocaust survivor.

He's also a successfulentrepreneur and author

and a practicing Jew.

Scott wants to challenge the idea

that somehow believing in ahigher power isn't logical.

One of the groups he wantsto help is college students,

who are taught that atheismis the only rational

and scientific conclusion.

In his book, "In GoodFaith", Scott offers answers

for those questioningreligion and atheism.

- Well, please welcome toThe 700 Club Scott Shay.

And Scott, let's kick it offwith this new atheist movement.

I call it "evangelical atheists".

They seem to want to spread atheism.

Why?

They seem to be very aggressive.

- Well, they're not only aggressive,

they're pretty successful.

And they're being verysuccessful on college campuses,

where students arrive who, in many cases,

have had good religiousbackgrounds, who are told,

"Welcome, don't worry aboutyour religious beliefs.

"We're here to educate youas to why they're wrong,

"and get you over thosesuperstitions of your parents

"that you've been clinging to."

And I had so many friends,both Christian and Jewish,

who said that theirkids had gone to college

and come back atheists.

And I started thinking, well,what book can I recommend?

And I couldn't find one.

So I finally figured thiswas too much of a crisis,

not to search within myselfand try to write a book

that I thought would answerquestions for those seekers,

thinkers, college studentswho are being taken in by,

frankly, a set of idolatrythat is permeating

on many campuses.

- Tell us about your personal journey.

How did you find a belief in God?

- Well, you touched onit a little in the intro.

I grew up in a family

where my father was a Holocaust survivor.

He had witnessed his entirefamily being murdered

or sent to the concentration camps.

And my father, when hewas liberated from Dachau,

weighed less than 70 pounds.

And he got to Chicago becauseof a series of miracles.

And he knew very, very well, that if...

I don't know, this book that's behind me,

had been moved two feet the other way,

or the painting had been up or down,

or he had been one stepforward in the line,

or one step to the side of a line,

that he'd be dead.

He would've been murdered.

And so somehow he made it to Chicago

and he got married and he had a son.

And so he was actually,didn't have faith in God.

He was certain that there was a God.

On the other hand, hegrappled his entire life,

with wondering aboutwhy God had saved him,

and yet his father, his aunts, his uncles,

his mother had already died in childbirth.

But essentially, everybody he knew, brothers,

he didn't have any sisters,they were all murdered.

And so he grew up, I grewup, with this question

of how does God permit evil on this earth,

the nature of human evil, and the like.

So it was a constant question for me.

And it turned me into a searcher.

And I asked some of the same questions

that the atheists ask.

And came up with answersthat led me to faith.

- I like to tell people thatGod is a God of revelation,

and you need to search untilyou find that revelation.

You say that the Bible isas relevant a text as ever.

How so?

- First of all, I studythe Bible every day,

and I'm always finding newthings, in terms of even

how we deal with our presentsituation in this country,

and how we deal with it.

But the most fundamentalthing I live by every day,

is the Golden Rule, which comesfrom the Hebrew scriptures

and the Christian scriptures.

And as Hillel formulated it,

"Don't do unto others what youwouldn't want done unto you."

And I find that rule sorelevant in business,

in personal affairs, inthinking about political issues,

is how do we recognizethat the Bible begins

that each human is instilledwith a spark of divinity,

(speaking Hebrew).

We're made in the image of God.

And how do we look at eachother person in that way?

And so the Bible, everyday, has an influence

on my personal affairs, andfrankly, on my business affairs,

how I try to treat people in business,

and how I think people shouldethically live their lives

in the business world, which is really

where the rubber meets the road.

How do you do stuff when money is at hand?

How do then keep a clear mind,

and do what the Bible tells you to do?

- Let's grapple with how do youreconcile faith and science,

and let me give you an intro.

I was reading an atheistphilosopher, Daniel Dennett,

and in his book, hewas actually ridiculing

some Harvard medical school students,

who had found so much design in the cell,

that they were commenting to each other,

how can you not believe in God,

when you see so much designin the basic biology,

the basic mechanisms of life?

So how do you reconcileit for Daniel Dennett?

He actually ridiculed thoseHarvard medical school students,

that they obviously didn'tunderstand evolution,

and they didn't understandRichard Dawkins,

and design is just an illusion.

How do you reconcile it?

- Well, that's one of themain sections of my book.

It's six sections of allthe most difficult issues

that the so-called "new atheists" spring.

They're actually making the same arguments

as the old atheists.

But Daniel Dennett's one of them,

that I actually readcarefully and grapple with.

And the answer is that many of--

and this is the answeron one foot, as it were--

is that science actuallydoesn't say many of the things

that Daniel Dennett and Richard Hawkins

and Christopher Hitchensand Sam Harris say it says.

To a certain degree,they idolatrize science,

and turn it into an idolatry,

saying that science says thingsthat it can't possibly say.

Science is a lot abouthow's, not about why's.

And so I go into my book, indetail, on trying to understand

the two major issuesthat the atheists spring:

creation and evolution.

And in the end, I thinkI show pretty clearly

that it's rational to believethat God created the world,

and it's rational not to believe so.

It think the evidence is much stronger

that God created the universe,

but you can still make a rationalargument that God didn't.

In terms of evolution, Iactually take the science

directly to the new atheists,and show how mathematically,

scientifically, evolutionis a hard road to hoe.

- We're out of time.

Scott's book, it'scalled, "In Good Faith".

It's available nationwide.

I encourage you to get it,

particularly if you have college students.

We leave you with thesewords from Hebrews:

"Without faith it isimpossible to please Him."
