- [Gordon] A mom gets a callthat involves a drunk driver.

- I was in shock.

I was numb.

I mean, I was...

It didn't seem real.

- [Gordon] And her teenage son.

- [Diane] They said, "He maynot make it through the night."

- [Gordon] See how hemiraculously survives

on today's 700 Club Interactive.

Well, welcome to the show.

Are America's college campuses

turning into training camps for radicals?

- Some critics say studentsare being indoctrinated

in a left wing ideology

that's now spilling into our streets.

Dale Hurd reports.

- If these campus protestors look like

these street rioters,there's a good reason.

College campuses were theideological breeding ground

for this violence,

teaching students to hateAmerica and demand revolution.

Many colleges and universitieshave become very successful

training camps for radicals,

the kind of radicals whoare burning American cities

and fighting the police.

Portland State philosophyprofessor, Peter Boghossian, says,

"College campuses are, without question,

"the source of the wokemovement behind the riots

"in American cities."

- 100% of it.

Absolutely categoricallyand unequivocally.

The universities arecranking out utter madness.

- [Dale] College professorshave been among those arrested

in the rioting.

Professor Aaron Thompson atthe City University of New York

tweeted this advice torioters pulling down statues,

"Use chain instead ofrope, and it'll go faster."

- I've actually been there in the midst

of many of these protests riots.

I've seen it up close and personal,

and many of the riotersare indistinguishable

from the people you see on campus.

- Cabot Phillips is editorin chief at Campus Reform.

- Because there havebeen so few consequences

when they do go out onto these campuses

and riot and protest,

they've been able to test out what works.

They've been able tosee how they can create

the most destruction,get the most outrage,

and then carry that out intocities around the country.

- [Dale] The radical movementthat used to be confined

to some academic departmentsnow dominates whole campuses.

Cal Riverside professor, Reza Aslan says,

"All Trump backers arewhite nationalists terrorist

"supporters who must beeradicated from society."

University of California SantaBarbara religion professor,

Timothy Snediker tweeted thatif he had a time machine,

he would go back and assassinate Jesus.

- It's not just the ruling ideology.

It's the dominant moralorthodoxing virtually every campus

that's now spilled out into.

It's everything.

It's tech, it's media, andit's CNN is completely woke.

- We never thought the craziness,

the absolute insanitythat we saw on campus

would amount to anything.

And what we didn't realizeis that the campus moved

into the culture.

- [Dale] Cornell lawprofessor, William Jacobson,

has been censured by hisdean and formally denounced

by 21 Cornell facultymembers for speaking out

against the riotingand Black Lives Matter.

But the most tragic recentcase of campus persecution

of conservatives is UNCWilmington criminology professor,

Mike Adams, a Christian, hewas a guest on the 700 Club,

hounded by the Left for years.

Adams killed himself last month.

Boghossian says, "Wokeideology on college campuses

"is now a civilizational threat,"

and he thinks it may be too late

to save the university system.

- I used to think three, four years ago

that if we just defundedcertain departments,

we could save this off a little bit.

We're well beyond that now.

Now I think that the wholesystem, it has to be bulldozed.

- [Dale] American taxpayers have subsidized

a university system thatteaches that the US government

is fundamentally eviland must be torn down.

And that is exactly whatrioters are trying to do.

Dale Hurd, CBN news.

- Well, this is obviouslya disturbing report,

but it's one that reflectsthe headlines of today.

You know, I grew up in 1960s,

and campuses were obviouslya place for radicals,

and UC Berkeley was sortof the lead on that.

And then, you had some very radical groups

that came out of that.

I remember the SDS, andthey were to the point

where they thought it was perfectly okay

to plant bombs in public places,

public buildings, in orderto protest the Vietnam war.

You see that and you lookat that idea ideology.

What in your thought processallows you to do this,

to kill innocent people for your ideology?

I don't understand that.

That's one that causes me toreally scratch my head and go,

"Where did you get that?"

At the same time today,we're seeing that it's okay

for people to riot, burn, and loot,

because of ideology.

And again, I've gotta scratch my head.

Where do you get that?

Where is it okay to destroy inorder to promote your views?

I think we can all agreethat black lives matter.

I think we can all agree that the police,

no one should ever die in police custody.

No one should ever diein police handcuffs.

But why does that then justify

or give some kind of moral credence

to what's currentlyhappening on our streets?

And I say, no.

And if things need to changeat the educational level,

well then they need to change.

We need a government of order.

We need a society of order.

And one of the first thingssociety needs to guarantee

for all citizens everywhere,

you can be secure in yourperson and your property

regardless of your ideology.

One of the more disturbing things to me

is the remaking of historical figures

to try to promote the ideology.

Just one example, recently,

Frederick Douglas is now beinglisted as anti-Christian.

He would be absolutelyagainst white supremacist,

evangelical Christian,

and nothing could befurther from the truth.

Frederick Douglas wasa dedicated Christian.

He was one of the first and foremost,

what I cal, black evangelicalprophets in America,

calling us to account forobvious sin within our nation.

And he led the charge on that.

But he led the charge from avery Christian point of view

as did the ReverendMartin Luther King Jr.,

who promoted nonviolenceand peaceful protests

in order to achieve theCivil Rights Movement.

Do we need to change in America?

Absolutely.

Do I want an America thatis left to my children,

my grandchildren, where blackmen die in police custody?

Absolutely not.

I don't want that.

I don't want that for them.

I don't want racism in our culture at all,

but can we work togetherto solve these problems?

These problems aren't goingto be solved by violence.

- Yeah.

Well, and we've seen that

with the beginnings of that culture coming

into our universitiesand our academic halls

for decades now.

It's just all of a suddenthe explosion of it

in the degree that it'shappening right now,

and the anger behind it is just--

- Well, I remember as theSoviet Union was falling,

someone no less thanAleksandr Solzhenitsyn saying,

"The only place where Communismand Marxism are surviving

"are in the campusesof the United States."

- And he moved back.

(Gordon laughs)

He gave up and he said,

"You're going to destroy yourself

"if you allow this to go forward."

At the time he said that, hesaid it at Harvard University,

it didn't go over well.

And so, okay.

Are we seeing him as amodern day Christian prophet

point out, "Here's aproblem in your culture.

"If you don't solve this,you're gonna pay the price."

- We are paying the price.

Well, up next, a car fullof teenagers is hit head on

by a drunk driver.

I could only read his eyes,

because his face was so disfigured.

He was saying, "Mama, am I going to die?"

I was in shock.

I was numb.

I mean, I was...

It didn't seem real.

- [Terry] Hear how her sonbecame the lone survivor.

And we're gonna bepraying for you as well.

We have all of that when we come back.

So stay with us.

(compelling music)

- One night in the summer of 1999,

Diane Gurley, was having trouble sleeping.

The word accident keptswirling in her mind.

Then suddenly, her phone rang.

Her son had been involvedin a head on collision

and fighting for his life.

- [Reporter] The boy seatedin back was severely injured,

but maybe able to communicate enough

to help explain what happened.

- [Narrator] July 1st, 1999,Newport News, Virginia,

a drunk driver crosses over the median

and slams into a car ofteenagers at 80 miles per hour.

There was one survivor.

Meanwhile, Diane Gurleyis struggling to sleep,

because she felt a prompting from God.

- I just saw the one word, accident.

I felt that it was somebodythat was very close to me.

(phone rings)

- [Narrator] Momentslater, Diane gets a call

from Riverside Hospital.

Her 18 year old son, J.R.,was in a tragic accident.

- I was in shock.

I was numb.

I mean, I was...

It didn't seem real.

- [Narrator] Diane arrived at the ER

just as her son wasregaining consciousness.

- I can only read his eyes,

because his face was so disfigured.

He was saying, "Mama, am I going to die?"

- She said, "Baby, you're not gonna die.

"God said that you're going to live

"and declare the work of the Lord."

- [Narrator] J.R. had a host of injuries,

including brain swelling,a shattered jaw bone,

and a crushed left hand.

- They said he may notmake it through the night.

I could not believe that these

words were coming to me,

that was being said to me

I was saying on the inside, "Lord,

"save my child.

"Don't let him die."

- [Narrator] Word quickly spread,

and people from their church and community

began showing up to pray.

- They were just huddled around saying,

"He's not gonna die.

"God's not gonna take him."

And they were praying.

- [Narrator] J.R. madeit through the night.

The next morning he wentthrough eight hours of surgery.

Doctors said J.R. would live,but his future wasn't hopeful.

- I would definitelyhave some brain damage.

I would never be able toregain the use of my hand,

that I would have trouble speaking,

and I would probably haveto have someone to aid me

or help me for the rest of my life.

- [Narrator] A week later,

J.R. poured out anger towards God.

How could you allow this to happen?

How could you let this happen?

I was honest with him.

I was like, "I don't wanna live like this.

"I don't wanna live like this."

I remember feeling thepresence of the Lord

just come in my room.

The Holy Spirit told me thathe was going to heal me,

and in doing so, it would belike nothing ever happened.

Hope and peace came floodingback into my spirit.

Literally, I was revived.

And at that moment I decided

that I was not going to be angry,

that I was going to trust him,

and that he was going to dowhat he said he was going to do.

- [Narrator] J.R. says after that night,

he began healing more quicklythan even doctors expected.

- It's almost like my body just began

to put things back in order.

- Every day, there was a visible change.

You could see it.

- [Narrator] The next several months,

he went through rigorous therapy,

depending on God toheal his mind and body.

- I felt, literally, like theLord was strengthening me.

I felt like I had a new leaseon life and a new mission.

And I was determined to hold up my end.

I was determined to serve God.

- [Narrator] Within the next year,

J.R. says he fully recoveredfrom all of his injuries,

including regaining full use of his hand.

- There is not anything that I could do

that I can't do.

God healed me.

- [Narrator] Today, J.R.leads a young adult ministry

in his hometown andshares his story often.

- God answered all of my prayers.

He is faithful.

- Every now and then I laugh as people

look right at me and they, unknowingly,

repeat the promise that the Lord gave me,

and they tell me,

"Man, it looks like nothingever happened." (laughs)

And I said, "Well,that's exactly according

"to the word of the Lord."

- "Let it be unto meaccording to your word."

Those are the words that Marysaid to the angel, Gabriel.

"Let it be unto me according to your word.

Gabriel had come and said,

"I have a radical message for you.

"You're going to have a baby."

Let God come to youwith a radical message,

the radical message of heaven

that all your sins are forgiven.

All your diseases are healed,

and that's what the Psalmist David wrote,

Psalm 103, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul,

"and forget not all his benefits,

"who forgives all my transgressions,

"who heals all my diseases."

Let it be known in your bodythat Jesus has taken your pain.

Jesus has taken your infirmity.

He took it all on the cross.

He has borne it away.

And if he has borne our infirmities,

if he has taken him away,

we don't need to bear them anymore.

We can say goodbye to them.

You don't belong in my body.

Jesus has paid the price.

If you have the faith tobelieve your sins are forgiven,

you have all the faith you need

to believe for healing.

And I'll add one more thing to that.

Let Jesus be your faith.

Don't try to drum it up on your own.

Let him be your faith.

Let him be your all in all.

He is the author andfinisher of your faith.

If he starts it, he'll do a good job.

If he finishes it, he'll do a good job.

You can trust you can rely on him.

Don't rely on your prayer.

Don't rely on what you've done.

Rely on what has already happened,

what Jesus already accomplished,

and you'll have it.

For J.R., he heard an audible voice.

He responded to that voice.

For you, hear the word of the Lord.

He forgives all your iniquities.

He heals all your diseases.

There's nothing left out.

All means all, everythingfor everyone for all time.

You're part of it.

You're part of God's plan.

Just believe it and receive it.

Now, Terry and I are going to pray.

Here's a verse for you, "When two or more

"agree touching anything,it shall be done for them

"by my father in heaven."

These are the words of Jesus.

So let's rely on them.

When two or more, Terryand I will be the two,

you be the more, and in an act of faith,

lay your hand on thatarea that needs healing.

We'll come into agreement foryou and God will do the rest.

Let's pray.

Jesus.

Say his name.

Say it out loud.

Jesus,

I believe in you.

I believe in your sacrifice.

I believe in your resurrection.

I believe that you are atthe right hand of the father,

and you ever lived togive intercession for me.

So right now, I knowyou are praying for me.

And as I touch that area ofthe body that needs healing,

I come into agreement withyou and what you have done.

And I speak out loud to my body,

be healed now in Jesus'name and be every bit whole.

There's someone, you'relaying your right hand,

over your heart and sternum.

You have gone through a surgerywhere literally they cut

through your sternum, andit hasn't healed properly,

and it's causing you recurring pain.

God has heard your prayer.

He's answering you right now.

That pain is leaving you in Jesus' name.

And I just wanna add if there'sany kind of heart problem

or anything underlying this,that's being healed as well.

God does a complete work.

Everything is being touched and restored.

You're going to have newenergy, new vitality,

new strength in Jesus' name.

Terry.

- Yeah, there's someone, youhave a circulation problem.

It's your feet and yourankles have swelled up.

It's not something you normally have.

It just started happening to you.

And even your hands are swollen.

Like you can't put rings on andeverything just feels tight.

God is healing that circulationproblem for you right now.

Just lift up your handsand begin to praise him

as all of that fluid leaves your body

and you go back to normal.

- There's someone, you've got glaucoma,

and the pressure

is actually causing you pain.

It normally doesn't.

But for you, you're experiencing pain.

God is healing all ofthat for you right now.

He's healing your eyes, restoring vision,

restoring everything to be normal again.

Just believe it and receive it now

in Jesus' name, amen.

Terry, you got one.

- Yeah, someone elsewith digestive issues.

It used to be a few thingsthat you knew you couldn't eat,

but lately everything.

God's healing your entire stomach,

the lining of your stomach,your digestive juices,

all of that.

You've been set free in Jesus' name.

- [Both] Amen.

- If you've been touchedby God, share your report.

Let us know.

Give us a call, 1-800-700-7000.

Terry.

- Well, up next, a sneakpeak at actor, Kevin Sorbo's

upcoming movie "Miracle in East Texas."

Plus, Kevin's gonna talk abouthis own real-life miracle

after three strokes, nearlyleft him blind and paralyzed.

(upbeat music)

Kevin Sorbo has performedin more than 40 movies

and TV shows,

including the hugelypopular series, "Hercules."

"Miracle in East Texas" isthe name of his latest film.

He produces, directs,and stars in the film,

along with his wife, Sam.

Take a look.

- [Narrator] Kevin and SamSorbo had made a huge mark

on the faith based moviegenre, writing, directing,

and acting in numerous projects.

Their latest movie is"Miracle in East Texas."

- So this is Texas.

Very flat.

(upbeat bluegrass music)

I just believe the hand of providence

has been guiding our every step.

We're gonna hit oil right here.

Amen.

(upbeat jazz music)

- [Both] Amen.

- Kevin, welcome back to the show.

It's great to have you with us.

- It's good to be back.

I gotta update my bio with you.

I just shot my 64th movie,so I've been pretty busy.

- Wow. (laughs)

- Thank God for that.

- Amen.

We'll make note of that.

Tell us about the new movie"Miracle in East Texas."

- It's a wonderful script.

It's based on a true storywritten by Dan Gordon.

Dan Gordon's amazing,Oscar nominated writer.

He wrote "The Hurricane"for Denzel Washington,

a "Wider" for Kevin Costner,

and he's a show on Highway to Heaven."

He wrote 60 episodes ofMichael Landon's series there.

And he brought the script to me.

I fell in love with it right away.

It's a true story set in 1930

about two con men played by myself

and the lovely John Ratzenberger,

and they would woowidows out of their money

on fake oil wells.

And they would always declare 500% shares.

I mean, they would allsell 500% of the shares,

declare dry hold, and move to next town.

Well, when they hit Kilgore, Texas,

they actually hit oil by mistake,

and ended up being the largest oil find

in the history of the world.

And they ended up going to jail,

because, well, theysold 500% of the shares,

and they scammed all these widows.

It's a wonderful tale ofthere's a redemption in there.

There's a lot of hope in there.

There's laughter in there.

It's won all kinds of awardsthrough the film festivals,

everything from best familyfilm to best romantic comedy,

the best faith-basedfilm, judge's favorite.

It's been received so well.

We were hoping to get itin theaters this summer.

But, as you know,

COVID is sort of put a stop to everything

in our world right now.

So we're hoping to getit out sooner than later,

but we're out plugging itright now and letting people

be aware of it.

It's a wonderful, wonderful film

that I think people really enjoy it.

- Well, we'll look forward to its release.

You have your own miracle story.

You went through three strokes

that nearly left you blind and paralyzed.

Tell us about that time in your life.

- I was in season five on "Hercules,"

and I was having all kindsof problems with my left arm

and shoulder and fingers

that these three fingers werecold and numb all the time.

I couldn't forget what's goingon, but you know what I mean?

I was working 14 hour days.

I was lifting weights an hour and a half

to two hours every day.

I was doing my own stunts.

Not complaining, loved it.

"Hercules" was near and dear(audio cuts out) my life.

Got back to America to promote a movie,

and I finally saw doc,my doctor in Los Angeles.

He found a lump way uphere in my left shoulder

in the left subclavicle region.

He initially thought it was cancer.

They wanted to do a biopsy.

And he didn't mentionthat to me at that time,

but when they were scheduling the biopsy,

I went to see my chiropractor.

And eight years of seeing him,he's never cracked my neck.

And as I'm laying on the table,

a voice inside my headwarned me multiple times,

"Don't let him crack your neck."

Well, he cracked my neck,

and because that lumpthere was an aneurysm,

it'd been an aneurysm,

it had been sendingblood class down the arm.

That violent twist ofthe neck forced the clots

into my brain.

And I spent the next fourmonths learning how to just

even walk and balance again.

It took me three fullyears to recover from it.

But thank God for my wife.

We weren't married at that time.

We were four monthsaway from being married,

and she got the worst part of the marriage

before we said for better or worse,

but she stuck by my sidethe (audio cuts out).

- [Terry] Wow.

- I know you (indistinct)gentlemen who's had to go

through a car crash.

I fought the same thing.

I wrestled with God.

Don't wrestle with God.

You will lose.

But I went through the same things.

"Why me, why me?"

I had faith my whole life,

but I never needed faithuntil this happened to me.

- Well, speaking ofSam, you and your wife,

Sam, have written a newbook called "True Faith."

What's that about?

- Yep.

It's the followup to "True Strength."

That's the book you mentioned earlier

that I wrote about my own recovery

and getting past the roadblocksthat life throws at us.

"True Faith," it's just a wonderful book,

uplifting book about thereasons there's faith

and why we need faith in our lives

to get past those roadblocks,

to get past the bad thingsthat life has to offer.

God never promised life to be perfect.

And really, it's just abattle to find that place

and space in your world

that you can look yourself in the mirror

and not forgive Godfor not helping you up,

but forgive yourself and forgive others

for blaming other people,because we tend to do that

in life, don't we?

Until we're in those trenches ourselves,

we tend to blame God, family, friends

for all the bad thingsthat have happened in life.

And the reality is you've gottatake a look at that person

in the mirror andreevaluate what you want,

what you're looking for in life,

and what you need out of lifeinstead of blaming everybody

for your problems.

And a lot of that stuff'sgoing on in our world right now

with all these violent protests going on.

I think those people,

they wouldn't be doing what they're doing

if they had biblicalprinciples in their lives.

- Yeah, sometimes we blame ourselves too.

I mean, you all, once you were married,

went through some reallydifficult things in fertility,

the loss of twins.

I mean, for some people that'sdestroyed their marriage.

How did your faith bringyou through those times?

- Well, I think a lot ofit stems back to my days

as a kid growing up in Minnesota.

My parents were strongreligious followers.

It was ingrained in all of us.

I had a chance meeting with Billy Graham

when I was only 13 years old.

That was a huge part andemotional moment in my life.

So, I think just thosethings instilled in me,

hard work, moral values, things like that,

it really made a bigdifference in terms of

where I am today and notexpecting things to just happen.

I know that hard work is...

I'm a 13 year overnightsuccess in Hollywood.

So I look at those years of battling

to try to have any kind of acareer within the industry.

I look at those in a positive way.

I look at failure as a positive word.

And I learned that early in life, too,

that you're gonna go through failures,

and you just gotta fightthrough those things,

and find out that failure andknow those are positive words.

You just have to find itfor yourself why and how

those words can help motivate you

to get past whateverdownfalls you're experiencing

in your life.

- We see that in your work.

And we say thank you for all that you do.

Wanna mention the new bookis called "True Faith,"

but wanna mention the movieis "Miracle in East Texas."

Keep an eye out for the release of that.

Thanks for being with us, Kevin.

Always great to have you.

You always to havesomething uplifting to say.

- My pleasure.

And I got documentariescoming out very shortly.

So I gotta come back on.

We gotta come back on.- Deal. (laughs)

- I'm gonna throw it very quickly.

- It's a deal.- bleedingbluemovie.com.

Check out bleedingbluemovie.com.

It's a wonderful documentary

about what our police have to go through.

- Okay, we'll do that.

Thank you all for being with us.

See us again tomorrow.

We'll be here with you.

Bye bye.
