(dramatic music)

- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Wendy] Coming up, the worshipleader taking center stage

in the middle of a pandemic.

Sean Feucht takes us inside hisnationwide protest concerts.

And then-

- It was very, very insane.

- [Wendy] Like father, like daughter.

- [Stephanie] We did what we knew.

We saw dad doing it, it was just normal.

- [Wendy] How did she breakthis generational curse?

- I was like, "Wow," my eyeskind of were like opened.

- [Wendy] On today's "700 Club."

- Welcome to this additionto "The 700 Club."

Here is my take on theelection, if you'll indulge me.

First of all, in my opinion, Trump won it.

Okay, that may shock you.

Secondly, I think that there was a failure

of his legal team toget before the election

to check on the voter rollsbecause people were voting

who were dead, peoplehad voted who had moved

out of the districtsand weren't qualified,

and there were thousands of those people.

But the Trump legal teamwasn't engaged at that time

so when those ballotswere in, they were in.

Okay, the second thing, there are cases

now are being filed in a number of courts,

but I don't give themmuch chance of success.

So nevertheless, there may be a few.

When you looked at theso-called battleground states,

they weren't but about 70,000votes separating all of them.

So they're a few thousand here,there, and the other place.

See what I'm saying.

The play isn't overuntil the fat lady sings

and it isn't over yet.

But at the same time, here iswhat's in the Constitution.

The electors have to come together

and they've got to certify a winner.

If there's a tie betweenone and the other,

then it goes into the House where

each state votes as a unit,

and there are more Republican states

than there are Democrats.

But that's probably not going to happen.

The next thing is the term

of the Senate and Houseis over January 3rd.

The term of the presidentis over January 20th.

So Trump remains presidentuntil January 20th of next year.

And so at this point of time,

there are going to be competing presidents

and who knows what's going to happen.

I don't see any massive effort by

the president to overturn this.

But he has every right to get every

legitimate ballot counted and to make sure

that there's no fraud.

Because without question,

there were packets of votes for Biden

that were placed into themix somewhere along the way.

But right now, it'svery hard to prove that

and the other, it's toolate, they waited too long.

So what pushback are they planning?

And will this election ultimatelybe settled in the courts?

Dale Hurd has that.

- The mainstream mediamay have already coronated

Joe Biden president-elect,but the legal challenges over

alleged voting irregularities begin today.

Joe Biden is moving forward as

if the election results are final.

He and Kamala Harris will have a briefing

with their transition COVIDadvisory board this morning.

- I'll work as hard for those

who didn't vote for me as those who did.

This is the time to heal in America.

- [Dale] But Donald Trump isready to fight it out tweeting,

"The big city machines are corrupt.

This was a stolen election."

His lawyer Rudy Giulianiclaims he has more

than 50 witnesses to voterfraud in Pennsylvania alone.

And will have four or five cases filed

by the end of the week.

- For violating civil rights,

for conducting an unfair election,

for violating the law of the state,

for treating Pittsburgh and Philadelphia

different than the rest of the state,

which was an equal protection violation,

which goes under Bush v. Gore.

I mean, this is somethingthat just has to be addressed.

- [Dale[ Missouri RepublicanSenator Roy Blunt,

for one, is not calling JoeBiden president-elect yet.

- I said on Friday I thought it was time

for the president to turn this discussion

over to his lawyers,a time for the lawyers

to make the case thatthey have both in court

and to the American people.

- President Trump stillhas a path to victory

and that path is to countevery single legal vote

that was cast.

The media does not getto select our president.

The American people getto elect our president.

- [Dale] Meanwhile, Biden's slim advantage

in the loss of at leastseven Democrats seats

in the House undercutany claims of a mandate.

Pennsylvania Senator PatToomey called the Republicans

down ballot success arejection of the radicalism

that has seeped into the Democratic Party.

- The woke left had a major setback.

Nobody thought we were gonnapick up seats in the House.

Nobody thought we weregoing to hold the Senate,

which I think is likely.

- West Virginia Senator JoeManchin says the results

show Democrats scared many voters.

- They were scared of this socialism

that was thrown out there

by a radical part of the so-called left.

- [Dale] RepublicanSenator Lindsey Graham says

if there was rampant voterfraud in this election,

it must be rooted outto save the integrity

of our voting process.

- If Republicans don't challenge

and change the US election system,

they'll never be anotherRepublican president elected again.

President Trump should not concede.

- Back in 2000, Al Gorewas given his day in court.

We should give PresidentTrump his day in court

and let the process unfold.

- The president is planning a series

of rallies in states he's contesting.

And just like in 2000, it may be that this

election will be settled in the courts.

Dale Hurd, CBN News.

- I don't think therallies are a good idea.

I don't think rallies aregonna settle anything.

You have a whole lot of people,

he had rallies beforeand didn't do any good.

But it's going to be a tough deal.

And we're going tofocus among other things

on the state of Georgia,

where at this point twoSenate seats are up for grabs.

We'll talk about thatlater in this program.

But the Senate is keybecause the Senate is the one

that confirms, not only the judges,

but the political appointees.

And if the Biden team is successful

in it's run for the White House,

then you're going to have Elizabeth Warren

as Secretary of the Treasury,

you're going to have BernieSanders as Secretary of Labor,

you're going to have who knows, maybe AOC,

in charge of the EnvironmentalProtection Agency,

and you'll find our Secretaryof State is somebody

who is also an extremist.

It will be tough.

But the Senate is the onethat makes the confirmation

on these people and the nuclear option

only had applied so far tojudges on the Supreme Court.

But if they take away the filibuster,

which is so important,I doubt very seriously

if a lot of Democrat senators will vote

to abolish the filibuster, but if they do,

then it takes away thevoice of the minority party

and the majority can ramanything through they want to.

And that's what those twoseats in Georgia are crucial.

CBN Chief Political Analyst

David Brody is joining us right now.

David, a few days ago you described

this legal strategy as a hail Mary pass.

Do you think they've got anychance of scoring with it?

- Pat, it's in the hailMary stage for sure.

The president has a political PR problem

and that is we see fireworks saying 46

with Biden going up in the air.

And the media has crownedhim the new president

of the United States, president-elect

and so many congratulationcalls are coming in.

So there's clearly a politicalPR problem for the president.

But I do feel like I'm living in two

polar opposite universes here.

You've got that whole mediacoronation of Joe Biden

and then all of a suddenon the other side,

you've got, "Well, wait a minute,

the last time I checked, thepresident has not conceded,

that there is a legal fight going on."

And I was doing someresearch over the weekend

and as I looked, I came across some video

of Al Gore speaking just daysafter the election in 2000,

that Bush v. Gore we know all about.

He said at the time, "Wemust count every vote

and once we count every vote,

then we can move on in this country

and we'll have a new presidentor we'll have a president

of the United States at that point."

So once again, he keptsaying, "Count every vote."

That is exactly whatDonald Trump is doing.

And it is journalisticmalpractice for the journalists

across this country to declare,

not only Joe Biden thewinner as president-elect,

you can do that, that's kindof a tradition what we've done.

But for them to run withthis narrative of like

it's a fait accompli, it's all over

and they are ignoring,and let's be honest, Pat,

they are ignoring this whole other side,

this other polar opposite universe

that Trump folks want to talk about.

But they did not ignore thatpolar opposite universe in 2000

when Al Gore said the exact same thing

that Donald Trump has been saying.

Pat, journalism is dead in America.

(Pat laughs)

- I'll buy that in.

What do you think Joe Biden will do first

if he is confirmed?

- There's so many different things.

Get ready for a federal mask mandate.

What does that look like exactly?

Yes, I understand thatstates have to decide

about masks and counties and all of that,

but there's going to be apush by President Joe Biden,

if that ends up becoming the case,

for some sort of federalmask mandate pushed

by the CDC and Anthony Fauci.

That's number one.

He's going to rejoin theWorld Health Organization,

the United States will.

They'll rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.

The fracking will, nofracking on federal lands.

I can go on and on.

Transgender rights for kids in terms

of bathroom use and all that,that'll be reimplemented.

I can go on and on.

We'll see about the packing of the court.

If it goes south inGeorgia for Republicans,

in other words, if Democratswin back the Senate,

get ready for court packing.

Joe Biden might not be a fan of it,

but you know, let me think, so what.

Because at this point, Democratsare gonna feel emboldened,

even though we know that this

election was anything but a mandate

It's funny, you hear NancyPelosi talking about a mandate.

What mandate exactly?

Anyhow, the whole thing iskind of bizarre to me, Pat.

- Some thought that NancyPelosi can't get a majority vote

in the House to become speaker.

She may lose her seat

because of the seats that had been lost.

It really surprised the Democrats

that they lost so many seats in the House.

- 100%.

It's funny to hear NancyPelosi talk about a mandate

because if there's a mandate,she may not be part of it.

There is a sense inside Capitol Hill

that they're looking for areplacement for Nancy Pelosi

and that she was part of the reason,

a big part of the reason why

Republicans did actually so well.

There's a lot of reckoning to be had.

It's interesting, a lot ofpeople really haven't thought

this through, which is. "Wait a minute,

Republicans actually didpretty well in the House,"

and they didn't have that blow out

that a lot of people were thinking

Democrats were goingto have in the Senate.

So Republicans did really well except

for the most popularRepublican, Donald Trump.

That's where a lot of folks wonder,

"Wait, what in theworld is going on here?"

And I got to tell you, Ithink we have an electoral

as the world turns coming up.

I think this is like anelectorate telenovela

and I think we're stillin the process of it all.

- We'll stay tuned for act two.

But when you think of the extreme things,

I imagine the electric,

if they defund the police,if the rioting continues,

if there's no law and order,if the taxes are being raised,

if people lose their jobsbecause the fossil fuels are out,

and if there's a demonizationof the Trump's supporters,

which you remember the Hillary Clinton

called them a basket of deplorables,

well, they're callingthese people other names

and how can we have unitywhen they insult the people

who opposed you and somethought the AOC crowd is seeing

to take away any privilege that

any Trump supporter had, it's insanity.

- Well, that's right.

And remember Joe Biden, justin the last couple of weeks

at the end of the campaign called

all of Trump's supporters chumps.

And it's kind of interestingto see Joe Biden saying

it's time to heal the nation.

Well, you know, the wayTrump supporters see it,

you try to impeach theguy, or actually you ended

up impeaching the guy, you'vebeen trying to get this guy

from day one, you've been demeaning and

demoralizing Trump'ssupporters left and right,

and now all of a suddenyou want them to just say,

"You know what, that'sokay, we're fine with it."

No, look, I think this is we're heading

down a very dangerous path in this country

and the Donald Trump doing rallies,

and you know that's coming,

I've talked to two Trumpcampaign sources this morning

that can confirm what Axiosis reporting this morning

which is that Donald Trumpwill be doing campaign rallies.

Look, this has a powder keg on it, Pat.

And one thing I can tell you,

if we think this is how it ends

with president-elect Joe Biden right now

then we haven't been paying attention

for the last four years.

Do you think Donald Trump isjust going to let this go?

Pat, something's coming around the bend.

Let's wait and see what it is.

- It's frightening becausethis country could explode.

And that's the thing that we all fear.

And when we do, you see

you've got a president-elect of one party,

you have the sittingpresident of another party

and they're fighting eachother like cats and dogs,

there's rioting out in the streets.

And all of a sudden,Erdogan or somebody like

that will say, "This is ourchance to move against Israel,"

and suddenly you've got another war.

And if the Chinese make a move

in the South China Sea, it's devastating.

But who's going to stopthem if the Chinese move up

and start taking those islands

and saying, "This is our territory."

Who's going to go after them?

But David, I understandthe Secretary of Defense

said he was going toresign, he's still in,

but who's running the Pentagon?

- Well, you're absolutely right, Pat.

And here's part of the problem.

It kind of goes to a broader issue.

There's a Trump appointee,

the General ServicesAdministration, the GSA,

allows federal money to be appointed,

as you know, Pat, for atransition from Trump to Biden.

Well, the GSA's not doing any of that.

They're not giving any moneyover yet to the Biden folks

to have some sort of transition process.

So there is a financial limbo,

not to mention the electoral limbo here

until the results are certified.

So we are in this strangeperiod of let's just wait,

even though if you look at the media

and you see a fireworks going off

in the sky, you'd never think it.

- Thank you, David.

I want to talk about Georgiaa little bit 'cause it's key.

There are two races down there

that are going to go into reruns.

And there's a lady named Stacy Abrams

who was running forgovernor and she didn't win,

but she came very close.

And instead of going back to her home,

she decided she wasgoing to organize voters.

And so in Georgia, thereprobably another million

registered voters because of her activity.

Now there are two racesdown there, Sonny Purdue,

who was the former agricultural secretary,

he didn't win a clearmajority, so he's in a runoff.

And the other lady, LoefflerI believe, she's in a runoff.

If those two lose in Georgia,

where the numbers are huge interms of new registrations,

at least another millionvotes, you can imagine

if they spent 400 milliontrying to defeat Lindsey Graham

and the majority leader of the Senate,

if they spent that kind of money,

they'll spend a billiondollars to hold the Senate.

So it's going to be chaos in Georgia.

And if those two flip,then you've got the,

well the steamer roller's in place then

to run through all the appointments

that the Democrats want andall their strange concepts.

And boy, it's going to be a mess.

But you know, you talking about the green,

sure this global warming, absolutely.

But are we the offender?

The answer is absolutely not.

The Chinese and the Indians are the ones

who are polluting the atmosphere.

And we're not doing it,

but they're not part of the Paris Accord,

but people went after Trump because

he doesn't believe in global warming.

Well, sure, there's global warming.

But if you want to fix the global warming,

what you ought to do isplant a bunch of trees

out in the Sahel thatwould change the climate

because of what you did.

But they don't want to do that.

The Green New Deal isa socialist opportunity

to limit American industry and put it

under the control ofthe federal government.

We don't want that.

- A lot going on.

- Wow.

Well, in other news, theDemocrats lose seats in the House.

Republican women made historic gains.

And what does that meanfor the pro-life movement?

John Jessup has more.

- That is right, Pat.

So far Republicans have flippedeight seats in the House.

One reason is the recordnumber of GOP women elected.

As Mark Martin reports,

those victories are beingcalled a stunning blow

to the pro-abortion agenda.

- In January, at least 14 new Republican

pro-life women will take the oath

in the House of Representatives.

That number will includeseven Congresswomen

who defeated Democratsin last week's election.

- We attribute their success to the fact

that life is winning in America.

And regardless of the uncertainty

in the presidential election,

it's clear to see that life isnot a losing issue this year,

especially because we seean unprecedented number

of pro-life women beingelected to Congress.

- [Mark] Those newlyelected representatives

join 11 incumbent GOP pro-lifewomen who won reelection.

In a statement, SBA List President

Marjorie Dannenfelser said,"These gains are repudiation

of abortion extremism and further evidence

that life is a winning issue in politics."

- And this is a diverse group of women

who will no doubt stand up for the unborn.

They come from various backgrounds.

We have Maria Salazar who was one

of our endorsed candidates.

She's a Cuban American woman

who understands the right to life.

We have Yvette Herrell in NewMexico who was newly elected.

She is the first womanfrom the Cherokee Nation

to be elected to Congressfor the Republican Party.

- [Mark] And it's not justhappening in the House.

At least six will be partof the Senate in January,

including reelected incumbent,Joni Ernst, of Iowa.

- I'm going to share myfavorite psalm with you

and let it be a reminder of how

we can get through this difficult time.

And my favorite psalm is Psalm121 and it goes like this.

"I lift up my eyes to the hills

and where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,the maker of heaven and earth."

- The founder and chairmanof the non-profit Christian

ministry Liberty Counsel spoke out

about the election saying these

pro-life women will bringnew energy to Washington

to preserve precious pre-born children.

This is another important step

to making the womb a safeplace again in America.

Mark Martin, CBN News.

- Thanks, Mark.

To health news, early analysisreveals a coronavirus vaccine

developed by Pfizer ismore than 90% effective

at protecting people from the virus.

An independent data monitoring committee

evaluated the data Sunday.

So far, there have been94 cases of COVID-19

in the 44,000 person trial,

less than nine of themreceived the vaccine.

The rest were given a placebo.

The results have not been peer-reviewed

and some scientists warn against rushing

to conclusions based on early results

before long-term safety andefficacy have been established,

and Pat, stock futures soared

on the promising news of the vaccine.

- It really is.

I don't know if you watched"60 Minutes" last night,

but they had a statementof a four-star general

who's heading the effortand it's all set up,

they'll deliver that vaccineinstantly across America.

And the analysis is so sophisticated,

it's just mind boggling that this vaccine,

when it comes, it's going to be brought

to the American people quickly.

And the sooner we can put the stop

to this terrible coronavirus,let's hope this stuff works,

but apparently it does.

Wendy.

- Apparently it's makingthe stock market very happy.

(Pat laughing)

- The stock market is happy because

there's a split government.

As long as the government in gridlock

and they're not passingtaxes and stuff like that,

the market is delighted.

And furthermore, the fedis just pumping money

in like crazy.

So you don't ever fight the fed.

The fed is going to give you money

and the market is going upand so it's time to enjoy it.

- Still ahead, from riots to revival.

He's the force of naturewho's led worship rallies

across the country's hotspots.

Sean Feucht joins us live later on.

But first, meet the watchmen.

They're protecting us fromthe worst-case scenarios

from asteroids tovolcanoes to solar storms.

What are they doing to keep us safe?

Find out after this.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- As if we haven't frightened you enough,

we've got a doozer right now.

Earthquakes, volcanoes,asteroids, even solar storms.

This little planet we're on is at risk

from a number of natural hazards.

And who are the watchmen on the lookout

for these global threats?

And what exactly do they do?

CBN's Gabe LaMonica has that answer.

- [Gabe] Existential scenarios

like an asteroid hittingearth face pretty long odds.

- The likelihood of that

happening are literally astronomical.

- [Gabe] But just in case,the earth has a watchman

on the lookout forexactly the kind of threat

that wiped out the dinosaurs.

- We now have the technology to detect

these things far in advance.

- [Gabe] Lindley Johnson is NASA's

planetary defense officer.

- We believe we have already found

all of the nearest asteroidsthat are of that size

that cause the same kind of catastrophe

that occurred to the dinosaurs.

But there are still a fewlarge ones to find out there.

- [Gabe] Johnson and other planetary

defenders have a planto redirect an asteroid

potentially heading for earth.

And next summer, NASAwill test that capability

for the first time by crashing a probe

into an asteroid's moon knocking it

off orbit and off-course.

- We've been given the tools to prevent

this ever happening to us againand so we should use them.

- [Gabe] The watchers call scenarios like

these high-impact, low-probability events.

- [Announcer] Up from the crater,

a 4,000 foot high MountVesuvius rise towering clouds

of smoke and volcanic ash.

- [Gabe] The 1944 eruptionof Mount Vesuvius rained down

on the Naples area some 2000 years

after it destroyed Pompeii.

- This sort of gets into social science.

- [Gabe] Geophysicists Michael Poland is

with the US Geological Survey.

- How do you coordinate anevacuation of a city of millions?

There are environments likethat all over the world,

not just Naples, butenvironments like that

in Indonesia and the Philippines.

There was an eruption of Taalvolcano in the Philippines,

which is only a few tens ofkilometers south of Manila,

where there's millionsof people that live.

And if there had beena very large eruption

of that volcano, fortunatelythe eruption was small

and no one died, but ifthere'd been a large eruption,

how do you coordinate areally mass evacuation?

- There's no stopping a volcano.

- No, occasionally weget this question like,

"Why don't you just drill into the volcano

and pump water down there?"

And the scale of the problemis really incomprehensibly big.

So no, you can't stop avolcano from erupting.

You might be able to divertsome of the products,

but the best mitigation methods

we have today are to get out of the way.

- [Announcer] The eruptionof Mount St. Helens-

- [Gabe] In just minutes,the 1980 eruption

of Mount St. Helensresulted in 57 lives lost

and hundreds of millionsof dollars in damage.

After destroying every livingthing within 230 square miles,

the devastation forced the world

to take volcano monitoringa little more seriously.

- The science of eruption forecasting

certainly has advanced quite a lot.

We can recognize eruptionsthat are becoming restless

based on patterns of earthquakes,

ground information, gas emissions.

- [Gabe] Poland also oversees

the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.

- With Yellowstone, theworst-case scenario is always

a tremendous explosion, ofthe kind that last happened

about 631,000 years ago.

That was one of these super-eruptions

that occur on average maybe every

50 to 100,000 yearssomewhere on the planet.

- [Gabe] Scientists think that

worst-case scenario is alsothe least likely to happen.

But if it did-

- It's not going to cause our extinction.

That's not to say that itwouldn't be pretty devastating.

These sorts of eruptions wouldbe immediately devastating

to everything around them out to a radius

of hundreds to thousands of kilometers.

(rocks clattering)

- While hundreds of active volcanoes exist

around the world, another threat hangs

right above our heads.

Luckily, this July 23rd,2012 eruption on the sun

that sent giant particle clouds hurdling

through space at 6.7 millionmiles an hour missed the earth.

In 1859, one of these eruptions hit Earth.

Now known as the Carrington Event,

it's the largestgeomagnetic storm on record.

Today, a Carrington-likeevent would be similar

to an electromagnetic pulse or EMP.

In that case, the plan is a temporary

shut off to save the grid.

We might not be able to predict or prevent

every catastrophe or global disaster,

but having early warning systems

in place is always a good idea.

Gabe LaMonica, CBN News.

- We have been hammeringaway at this one so much.

An EMP blast is something

from the low-level nuclear explosion.

Something out of the sun, atrick from one of our enemies,

and the grid, it would cost really

just a few billion dollarsto harden our grid.

But if the electricity goesout, we're in a heap of hurt.

So that's something that doesn't seem

to want to come up on thetop of somebody's agenda,

but it's so cheap considering the millions

and billions of dollars wespend on everything else.

And I think we need toharden that electric grid

as fast as we could because we never know

when an EMP blast is going to hit.

It might come from the sun.

It might come from alow-level nuclear explosion.

It might come from a cybermalware of some kind.

But whatever it is, we ought to do it.

Wendy.

- Up next, he's prayed with the president

in the Oval Office,

been featured in "Rolling Stone" magazine,

and even attempted a run for Congress.

Meet the worship leaderwho will not be silenced.

We'll speak with Bethel Music's

Sean Feucht right after this.

(upbeat music)

- It breaks my heartto think in this land,

there are people goinghungry, but there are.

There are people who are justlooking for a box of food

because they don't have jobs

and they're out of workand they're hurting.

This coronavirus has dealttheir economy a body blow

and regardless of theelection or whatever.

So one thing I want to saycoming up Thanksgiving,

we have had a tradition that

I have established a long, long time ago.

I asked my wife, I said, "Whenyou go to the grocery store,

how much do you figure you'llspend on Thanksgiving dinner?

How much will you spend?"

And she'd given me a figure,it'd $70, $80 or whatever.

And I said, "Okay, I wantto take that amount of money

and give it to Operation Blessing

so that they can feed somebody else."

And then you sit down to your turkey

or whatever you've got for Thanksgiving

or your Christmas dinner or whatever,

you feel pretty good because at least

I'm not just sittinghere pigging out myself,

but I'm helping those who hurt.

And isn't that what the Lord said?

"I was hungry and you fed me.

I was naked and you clothed me.

I was sick and in prisonand you came to me.

In as much as you've doneunto the least of these,

my brother, and you've done it unto me."

And I want to do this Thanksgiving,

I would urge you to do the same thing.

Just figure how muchyou're going to spend.

Prices are a lot more than they were

when I was first made agreement.

Maybe it'd be $150, $200,I don't know what it is.

But whatever it is,just write out a check.

Operation Blessing,it's called Give Thanks,

CBN Center, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Give Thanks, CBN Center,Virginia Beach, Virginia.

And Lord willing, we'lluse that to help people

with Operation Blessing.

We're feeding all over the world.

Wendy.

- All right, well, let us worship.

That's the rallying cry of Sean Feucht.

He's fed up with the double standard.

Officials have orderedchurches to close their doors,

but they've turned a blind eye

as protestors pack the streets.

So Sean has toured the nation hosting

his own worship protests.

So-called protests.

He's stirred up his fair shareof controversy along the way

though and Sean Feuchtis joining us right now.

Sean, welcome to "The 700 Club."

- Thank you so much.

Good morning, everyone.

- Sean, I've been followingyou on social media

and of course interviewedyou a few times as well.

And the crowds thatyou've been able to gather

at these events, places from California

to New Orleans to DC are massive.

There's such a hungerout there, isn't there

for people that just want togather and worship the Lord?

- Yeah, there really is.

And it's evident.

I really believe they'renot gathering with us

for a brand or a band nameor it's not even a concert.

People just want to get together.

They need hope right now.

We're in the midst of such a divisive time

and that's what worship does.

Getting together and looking on Jesus

and singing together and praying.

It just fills us with such perspective

and hope people are really needing

that right now across America.

- You've taken some flackfor hosting these events,

these worship events,even from Christians.

What's your response to that?

- Yeah, governors, mayors,Christians, friends,

we've gotten it all around.

But I think I look at revival history

or I look even in the Bible and nothing

significant takes place to shift things

in a generation without somecontroversy and pushback.

And so, I think mayberun to be a conservative

in California in Congress,I think maybe that

might've prepared me for this season

that we're in right now.

- Sean, let's talk about that.

You ran for Congress.

You had never been in politics before.

What made you want to do that?

- Well, really, I think,I've spent so much

of my history in thenations, the last 20 years.

We've been investing ourselves in some

of the hardest and darkestnations in the world.

But when the pandemic happened

and especially in America right now,

I live in California and wehave some of the craziest laws,

some of the most intense regulations,

we have crazy things likeyou have to be 16 years old

unless you're with the parentto get your ears pierced,

but the state is fundingsex changes starting

at 12 and 13 years oldwithout even telling parents.

You see these things happening,

I would have ran just purelyon the pro-life issue.

That's something that has just been a cry

and a prayer since I was in high school,

actually in Virginia,that God would overturn

that death decree in America.

And I look at now and I have four kids

and I'm deeply concerned about the future

in America for my children.

And that's really whatcaused me to want to do that.

- Yeah, of course you, you did not win,

but are you still glad you ran?

(Sean laughs)

- I think it was a good experience.

I definitely got to peek behind the veil

in politics in Californiaand even in the US.

And I'll tell you, we'recalled as believers

to be salt and light,and there is not enough

believers going into that sphereof influence in the world.

And so it emboldened me to start calling

other people to do the same.

- Sean, you had a Riots to Revival concert

in Portland, Oregon, avery liberal stronghold,

plus one that drew tens ofthousands in Washington, DC.

What are some of the aftereffectsthat you're still hearing

about from these cities you were in?

- Well, what we're really going after,

we are believing that there is another

Jesus people movement coming to America.

And we believe that it'sone that's full of revival,

that's full of salvations,miracles, signs, and wonders.

And you've probably seen if you follow us,

we're baptizing hundreds ofpeople in every city we go to.

But we've really beentargeting these cities

that have just comeunder such crazy unrest

and we've really been going after them.

And we believe that in the same way

that the Lord's called us into nations

like Afghanistan andIraq and North Korea and

places like that, that thatsame power and presence

of God can shift the citiesinside our own nation.

So we went into Portlandin the middle of the riots.

We went into Seattle, actuallyto the CHOP autonomous zone.

And of course, Washington,DC, I think was a huge thing

for us on the eve of the confirmation

of the new Supreme Court justice.

We gathered almost 40,000 people

and we just worshipedin the freezing rain.

I was so encouraged bythe grit in Americans

to worship Jesus no matter what.

It was amazing.

- I have never seen so much prayer,

and I know you haven't either

in our nation's capitalbefore an election before.

Sean, what's your take onthis election right now?

Is God speaking to youabout what happened?

Do you think it's over?

- I think we have to letthe process play out.

Bush Gore went 37 days, Ithink, after that election.

And so I think we letthe process play out.

But I believe in the meantimethat we use this season

of where everything canbe shaken will be shaken.

And just like we saw in NewOrleans this last weekend,

preaching the simple gospelin the middle of a season

that's divisive, it always works.

People were running down to the alter

in Jackson Square to givetheir life to the Lord.

And I feel like we're carrying this word,

now is the time for a great harvest.

Even in the midst of all this,

even in the midst of the uncertainty,

the gospel still thrives.

- Sean, you have writtena new book called "Brazen"

and you said you had no idea how

timely this message would be.

Brazen means bold and unashamed.

And I love the photo on the cover.

Tell us real quick about that photo

and why you wrote this book.

- That photo is actually outsideof Mosul in Northern Iraq.

And that was a bus thatwas blown up by ISIS.

And we were just driving on the road

to another refugee camp andI saw that bus and I'm like,

"We got to go inside that bus."

And the guys were like,"We don't know if we can."

I'm like, "No, we should go in there."

And at the time I didn't write the book,

I hadn't written the book,

but when I was praying about this topic

and just one of my favoriteBilly Graham quotes

where he says, "When acourageous man takes a stand,

the spines of everyoneelse are stiffened."

And I really feel like that book, for me,

it's been a propheticprecursor to the season

that I'm in now but it showshow we have to have grit,

we have to have courage,we have to have boldness

and tenacity to goafter the things of God.

And regardless of the mobthat comes against us,

regardless of the pressure politically,

or regardless of what peopletrolls on social media,

we have to do what we'recalled to do in the kingdom.

And if we do that, it willencourage everyone else

around us to take a stand as well.

So that's essentiallywhat the book's about.

You guys should get it,I think it's pretty good.

- Well, I got it and I couldn'tput it down last night.

It's a fascinating story.

Sean's new book is called "Brazen."

It's available nationwide.

You need to get a copy.

Sean Feucht, thank you somuch for being with us.

God bless you.

- Thank you, guys.

God bless you too,thanks for having me on.

- All right, Pat.

- What a guy.

Still ahead, sex, drugs and booze.

That's what this dealer'sdaughter kept searching for.

She thought it would puther in an early grave.

So what saved her life?

The answer next.

- Hanging out at barsall hours of the night.

waking up beside astranger in the morning.

Stephanie Wedel was a blackout drunk,

strung out and headed for jail or worse.

So how did a simple sign helpher break this deadly cycle?

Take a look.

- I don't have a whole lotof memories of my young life.

I do remember standing outside the trailer

and hearing things crash against the wall

and people yelling, peoplejust acting very erratic,

having conversations withpaintings hanging on the wall.

There was a time that I walked out

and saw people having sex in the driveway.

It was very, very insane.

- [Narrator] Chaos wasnormal for Stephanie Wedel.

Her father was the biggest drug dealer

in their small hometown inFlorida and an alcoholic.

- My dad was a greatguy when he was sober,

but he was very distant a lot of the time

because he was out running the streets

and we wanted nothing but loveand acceptance from my dad.

And it hurt that we couldn't get it

because that wasn't a priority to him.

- [Narrator] Then when Stephaniewas just a young child,

her mother took off with another man.

- When mom left,

I felt abandoned and I needed my mom.

I needed her love and compassionand we didn't have that.

- [Narrator] That leftStephanie and her brother

with her father and easyaccess to drugs and alcohol.

- Smoking weed when Iwas 11, drinking by 13.

By the time I was 14, I was selling drugs.

We did what we knew.

We saw dad doing it, it was just normal.

I just stayed high, I stayed wasted.

- [Narrator] At 15, Stephaniedropped out of school

and moved in with her24-year-old boyfriend.

- That was probably oneof the stupidest things

I've ever done.

He used me for sex andhe would cheat on me

on a regular basis.

He told me to deal with it.

- [Narrator] Eventuallyshe found another man,

and then another, a patternshe would follow for years

looking, hoping to findsomeone who would love her.

- I think I was lookingfor love and acceptance,

looking to fill the hole in my life

that was left vacant bymy father not being there.

I hated that I let men use me for sex.

I hated that I would jump fromrelationship to relationship.

I hated pretty much everything

about myself for a lot of years.

- [Narrator] Then at23, looking at a future

where she'd be in jail,strung out, or dead,

Stephanie took a friend'sadvice and joined the Army.

There she earned her GEDand worked as a mechanic.

She also quit using drugs.

Her drinking and promiscuity,however, escalated.

- I ended up being stationed in

Baumholder, Germanywhere bars don't close.

And I drank more than I ever drank before.

I would stay in barsall hours of the night.

I would wake up with different guys.

I would continue insanity,

just looked a little bit different.

- [Narrator] After serving four years,

Stephanie left the armywith an honorable discharge.

Returning to her hometown,she picked up where

she left off using drugs and men

to fill the emptiness in her heart.

But one thing had changed.

Her mom was now a Christianand convinced her daughter

to attend a few church services.

♪ It's all because of You ♪

- There had to be somethingbigger than me out there.

I had been trying to getsober on my own for years

and I couldn't get me sober.

I couldn't change my behavioror the way that I was living.

- [Narrator] Then finally,

after a weekend of getting blackout drunk,

Stephanie reached out to God for help.

- It was finally my rock bottom.

It was finally enough.

I was so tired and Icouldn't do it anymore.

I just got on my knees andasked God to change me.

That weekend was thelast time that I drank

or drugged or took pillsor did anything like that.

And He completely freed me from it.

I found peace and acceptanceand love and mercy

and all those things that I had looked for

for so many years.

And I found that in Jesus.

- [Narrator] Soon after,she found a church

with a sign that said come as you are.

There she learned more about

this God, His love, and His grace.

- Our pastor talked aboutGod's forgiveness and love

and mercy and how it wasn'tthrough anything of my own.

I was like, "Wow," my eyeskind of were like opened

and that was the momentthat I just asked Him

to forgive me for everything I had done.

And He did.

He has completely transformed my life.

- [Narrator] Today, Stephanie is a wife,

adoptive mother, and founderof Freedom Life Compass,

a Christ-centered nonprofitrehab and recovery organization.

As for Stephanie's family,

her siblings have all gotten clean

and reconciled with their mother.

Her father, currently servingtime for drug trafficking,

not only overcame his addictions,

but also gave his life to Jesus Christ.

- Nothing is too broken for God, nothing.

And I'm just so excited to seehow God is transforming him

and me and my mother and my siblings.

And I just can't wait until we're all

out here one day talking about

how God completelyredeemed my entire family.

It's amazing to see what He can do

when we let Him work in us.

- What a story.

Just as I am without a plea,

but that by blood was shed for me.

That was the song they used to sing

in the Billy Graham Crusade.

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

The Lord is reaching Hishand out to you right now.

And He says, "Daughter,son, come home, come home.

I'll receive you, I'll forgive you.

And I love you and I'llput My arm around you

And you'll be part of My family."

You're looking for love, God loves you.

He loves you so much He died for you.

And He says, "Would you please come home

because I am waiting for you

and I will give you thekeys to the kingdom."

Would you like that?

Stephanie was living in hell on earth.

Drugs, drugs, booze, sex, love,sex, more sex, more booze,

life spinning out of control.

Many of you feel like yourlife is worth nothing,

but God says you are precious,precious in His sight.

You are made in the image of God Almighty.

Now, if you want what I'm talking about,

all I'm asking you todo is to bow your head

and pray right now.

God is speaking to youright at this minute.

What I want you to dois just bow your head

and pray a simple prayer.

And He says, "I'm standingat the door and I'm knocking.

If you'll open the door, I'll come in."

Jesus Christ loves you just as you are.

These words, now yourhead, do it right now.

Now, do it, pray these words.

Jesus, that's right, Jesus,

I know You died for me andI know that You rose again

that I might live forever.

And I know that You will forgive my sin.

And I say to You, Lord, bemerciful to me, a sinner.

I come to You without a plea.

I have no right to claim anything.

But I say, Lord, come into my heart.

Live Your life in me.

And from this moment on,

I will live for You and I will serve You.

Thank You, Lord, thank You.

Father, in Jesus' name,fill with the Holy Spirit

those who prayed with me.

And if you did pray, I wantyou to pick up the phone

and call and tellsomebody what you've done.

I'll give you this if you want.

It's "A New Day," it willtell you what to do next.

But I would just ask is you please

pick up the phone call us.

1-800-700-7000.

Say, "I prayed with that guy on TV."

Hey, listen, tomorrow's abig question and answer show.

We'll see you then, bye-bye.
