THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED ON

TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

I REALIZED HOW -- IT WAS SO

FAKE.

> HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE

700 CLUB.

LIZ CHENEY HAS VOWED TO DO

EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO ENSURE

THE FORMER PRESIDENT NEVER

AGAIN GETS ANYWHERE NEAR THE

OVAL OFFICE.

THAT VOW COME ALONG WITH HER

LEADERSHIP IN THE JANUARY 6th

COMMISSION AND HER VOTE TO

IMPEACH TRUMP HAVE HER FACING A

TOUGH CHALLENGE IN TODAY'S

PRIMARIES

Reporter: IN THE FIGHT TO

MAINTAIN HER SEAT, SHE HAS

BROUGHT IN A BIG GUN, HER

FATHER AND FORMER VICE

PRESIDENT, DICK CHENEY.

SHE IS ALSO GETTING VOTERS

FROM AN UNUSUAL SOURCE.

MATT GALKA REPORTS.

Reporter: POLLS ARE NOT

LOOKING GOOD FOR LIZ CHENEY,

ALTHOUGH SHE BRINGS A LOT OF

NAME RECOGNITION IN FAMILY

HITORY AND TODAY'S PRIMARY

BATTLE.

IN THIS CASE, THAT COULD HELP

WITH AN UNLIKELY SOURCE OF OATS

-- DEMOCRATS.

ON JANUARY 6th, PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP TURNED THEIR LOVE

OF COUNTRY INTO A WEAPON

AGAINST OUR CAPITOL AND OUR

CONSTITUTION.

Reporter: LIZ CHENEY HAS

BEEN FRONT AND CENTER MUCH OF

THE SUMMER AND HAS BEEN VOCAL

IS ONE OF TWO REPUBLICANS

TAKING A LEAD ROLE IN HEARINGS

AND STEADFAST IN HER BELIEF

THAT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE

RIOTS AND SHOULD BE

DISQUALIFIED FROM HOLDING

POLITICAL OFFICE EVER AGAIN.

I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN

TO ENSURE THAT THE FORMER

PRESIDENT NEVER AGAIN GETS

ANYWHERE NEAR THE OVAL OFFICE.

Reporter: BACKLASH HAS PUT

HER REALISTIC BIG IN JEOPARDY.

SHE HAS THROWN IN HER LOT

WITH A RADICAL LEFT.

SHE HAS GONE CRAZY.

Reporter: PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP'S BACKING HER RIVAL,

ATTORNEY.

ACKERMAN.

THEY SEE OF BIG BATTLE.

THEY SHOW SHE IS BEHIND AND

I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SHE

GETS KNOCKED OUT.

Reporter: SHE IS GIVING UP

THE FIGHT BY BRINGING IN HER

FATHER, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT

DICK CHENEY, POUR AN ATTENTION-

GETTING ADVERTISEMENT IN THE

DAYS LEADING UP FOR HER

PRIMARY.

HE TRIED TO STEAL THE LAST

ELECTION WITH LIES.

THE VOTERS HAD REJECTED HIM.

HE IS A COWARD.

Reporter: EVEN IF HIS

MESSAGE ABOUT REJECTING TRUMP

DOES NOT STIR WYOMING

REPUBLICANS, IT IS AN UNUSUAL

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS, WHO CAN

CROSS OVER TUESDAY GIVING

WYOMING'S ROLE ALLOWING THE

RELATIVELY EASY PARTY SWITCH

FOR VOTERS.

THEY HAVE HEALTHCARE.

WITHOUT ASKING FOR MY VOTE, SHE

HAS CONVINCED ME, WITHOUT

QUESTION, THAT SHE IS THE BEST

CANDIDATE TO KEEP HER SEAT AS A

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

MEMBER.

> ANALYSTS ARE SKEPTICAL THE

DEMOCRATS COULD MAKE UP THE GAP

FOR CHENEY.

A POLL FROM LAST WEEK HAS

TRAILING BY JUST UNDER 30

POINTS.

WE APPRECIATE THAT.

LIZ CHENEY IS AMONG 10 HOUSE

REPUBLICANS WHO VOTED TO

IMPEACH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP . HOW DID THE OTHERS DO

IN THE PRIMARIES?

WELL, IN A WORD, NOT WELL.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS,

FOUR OF THOSE 10 DID NOT BOTHER

RUNNING.

THEY WERE TIRED OR CHOSE NOT TO

RUN.

PART OF THAT IS DUE TO

REDISTRICTING BUT THE OTHER

PART IS THE TRUMP FACTOR AND IF

A PRIMARY OPPONENT WAS ENDORSED

BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT, HOW

THEY WOULD FARE IN THAT AND IF

YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO DID

STICK AROUND, THREE HAVE

ALREADY LOST.

CHENEY COULD BE THE FOURTH,

DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS

TODAY.

ONLY TWO HAVE ADVANCED TO

GENERAL ELECTIONS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS,

YOU'RE AT ABOUT FOUR THAT DID

NOT BOTHER, FOUR THAT COULD

LOSE, DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS

WITH LIZ CHENEY, AND ONLY TWO

HAVE ADVANCED.

IT IS PRETTY EASY MATT PICHT IF

YOU VOTED AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

OR VOTED TO IMPEACH HIM,

OUTCOMES THE PRIMARY SEASON AND

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GREAT.

I AM INTERESTED IN YOUR TAKE

ON LIZ CHENEY.

SHE HAS TAKEN A STAND.

SHE IS KIND OF A HERO TO MANY

DEMOCRATS AND PEOPLE ON THE LEFT

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER

POLITICAL FUTURE, GIVEN SHE

LOOSES TODAY.

DO YOU SEE HER SERVING IN A

DEMOCRAT CABINET OR IS SHE OUT

OF POLITICS?

IT IS INTERESTING.

THAT QUESTION FOR HER HAS COME

UP A LOT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE

JANUARY 6th HEARINGS HAVE

STARTED.

YOU WILL NOT COMMIT TO ANYTHING

AS MOST POLITICIANS DO NOT LIKE

TO COMMIT THAT FAR IN THE

FUTURE.

SHE IS FOCUSED ON THE PRIMARIES

BUT IT IS REALLY HARD TO SEE

HER -- IF SHE DOES NOT MAKE A

BID TO GO FOR THE PRESIDENCY,

AT LEAST BACKING ANOTHER

CANDIDATE SHE HAS MADE HER

THOUGHTS PRETTY CLEAR.

SHE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AS FAR

AWAY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE AS

SHE POSSIBLY CAN.

THAT COULD MEAN, I THINK, DOING

MONEY SUPPORTING OTHER

CANDIDATES.

ASIDE FROM THAT, ON A NATIONAL

LEVEL, THOSE HEARINGS, THEY'RE

NOT APPEALING TO REPUBLICANS,

YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTS WHO MAY

HAVE SHIED AWAY FROM THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE OF

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP THAT

THIS DOES APPEAL TO OR

DEMOCRATS WHO ARE FED UP WITH

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHO HAVE

GONE INDEPENDENT AND LOOK AT

LIZ CHENEY AS SOMEONE WHO

STANDS UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE

IN AND SO-CALLED TRADITIONAL

CONSERVATIVES, WHICH IS COUNTRY

OVER PARTY.

HER NATIONAL PROFILE BEING THIS

ELEVATED, IT IS HARD TO SEE

THIS BEING THE END OF HER

POLITICAL CAREER.

BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, WE HAVE

TO GET THROUGH THE PRIMARY

FIRST.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANALYSIS.

> PARTISAN POLITICS IS

DRIVING A WEDGE INTO AMERICA.

DIVISION ONCE FOCUSED ON THE

POLITICAL SPHERE IS REACHING

INTO CHURCH. POLLS SHOWED IS

AMONG THE TOP REASONS PASTORS

ARE WALKING AWAY.

SO, WITH THE COUNTRY MONTHS

AWAY FROM ANOTHER ELECTION,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON SPOKE WITH

SOME FAITH LEADERS ABOUT HOW

THEY CAN ENGAGE POLITICALLY IN

A MORE CHRISTLIKE FASHION.

THERE ARE NUMBER OF CHURCH

IS NOT ONLY STRESSING MINISTERS

@EXAMPLE FOR NONBELIEVERS. AD

THEY THINK A BIG PART OF THIS

PROBLEM IS A LACK OF

DISCIPLESHIP WITHIN THE BODY OF

CHRIST.

DISCIPLESHIP DOES NOT INFORM

OUR POLITICS OR DOES OUR

POLITICS INFORM OUR FAITH?

THEY LOOK OUTWARD WHEN IT

COMES TO THREATS TO THE GOSPEL.

THEY SAY WE SHOULD BE LOOKING

WITHIN.

I WOULD CONTEND THE GREATEST

CHALLENGES ACTUALLY WITHIN THE

CHURCH.

HE BELIEVES MANY PROFESSING

CHRISTIANS IN THE U.S. ARE NOT

PRACTICING WHAT IT MEANS TO

FOLLOW CHRIST.

IT IS CERTAIN THINGS -- THEY

SUPERSEDE THE LORDSHI OF

CHRIST.

IN MY DEFINITION, THAT IS

REALLY IDOLATRY.

I AM CONCERNED THAT POLITICS,

WHILE IT IS IMPORTANT AND HAS

VALUE IN SOCIETY AND OUR WORLD,

POLITICS, IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL,

BECOMES THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF

POWER AND OUR LIVES.

Reporter: THEY THINK THE

MOST IMPORTANT REASON SHOULD

NOT BE TO A POLITICIAN BUT

INSTEAD TO JESUS CHRIST.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR

CHURCH LEADERS AND PASTORS TO

REALLY HEAR THE ALARM BELLS

ABOUT THE LACK OF DISCIPLESHIP.

PERHAPS WE HAVE ALLOWED CHURCH

MEMBERS OR EVEN CHURCH

INSTITUTIONS OR CHURCHES TO

DRINK THE KOOL-AID OF AN

ALLEGIANCE TO A PARTICULAR

POLITICAL PARTY.

HE ALSO WARNS NOT TO

DEMONIZE OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE

WITH YOU.

AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, WE

ARE PEOPLE OF HOPE AND OUR HOPE

IS NOT CONTINGENT ON POLITICS

OR A POLITICAL PARTY OR ON

TRENDS, BUT IT IS CONTINGENT ON

THE PERSON OF JESUS.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE AND

CAMPAIGN WORKS TO HELP

CHRISTIANS BE CONSTRUCTIVE

LEADERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

POLITICAL AISLE.

WE WANT TO CHANGE HOW

CHRISTIANS VIEW POLITICS.

WE WANT CHRISTIANS TO BE LESS

IDEOLOGICAL AND FOCUS ON

BIBLICAL THE POLLS.

THEY TRAIN CHRISTIANS IN A

NONPARTISAN WAY ON HOW TO

ENGAGE IN POLITICS.

I AM SURE REPUBLICANS AND

DEMOCRATS -- HOPEFULLY THEY

WILL BE CONSTRUCTIVE LEADERS AS

THEY MOVED FORWARD.

THE TRAINING CENTERS AROUND

THE GOSPEL AND CRITIQUES OF

BOTH PARTIES.

WE ARE GOING TO BE FOCUSED

ON CHRISTIANS -- NOT

NECESSARILY RING ON EVERYTHING

BUT HAVING CONSTRUCTIVE

CONVERSATIONS AND BEING

CONSTRUCTIVE CITIZENS, RATHER

THAN TEARING EVERYTHING DOWN.

Reporter: HE BELIEVES WHILE

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIANS

TO VOTE AND ENGAGE IN POLITICS,

THE KEY IS TO STAND FAR ENOUGH

AWAY FROM EITHER PARTY TO BE

ABLE TO PROVIDE HONEST

CRITIQUES.

REPORTING FROM WASHINGTON,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.

WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE FOR THE

ONE THAT SACRIFICED ALL FOR

YOU.

WHAT A GREAT AND CRUCIAL

SPIRITUAL LESSON.

LET'S REMEMBER -- WE ARE TOLD

NOT TO LEAVE OUR FIRST LOVE,

WHICH IS CHRIST HIMSELF.

DO NOT MAKE AN IDOL OUT OF A

POLITICAL PARTY.

IF WE CAN ACT JUSTLY AND WE CAN

LOVE MERCY AND WALK HUMBLY WITH

OUR GOD AND I THINK THE

LANDSCAPE CAN CHANGE.

EVERY DAY.

Reporter: JOHN STEINGARD'S

FAITH JOURNEY REFLECTS

AMERICA'S CHANGING RELIGIOUS

LANDSCAPE.

ONCE PART OF A CHRISTIAN BAND,

HE HAS JOINED A BURGEONING

GROUP THAT BLURS IDENTIFICATION

RELIGIOUSLY.

I DO NOT THINK THERE WERE

LITERALLY BELIEVE IN THE GOD

THAT MOST CHRISTIANS WOULD SAY

THEY BELIEVE IN BUT I AM NOT SO

CONVINCED THAT CHRISTIAN FAITH

AND PRACTICES IS ALWAYS HARMFUL.

Reporter: HE IS NOT ALONE.

STUDY AFTER STUDY SHOWS

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT THE FORCE

IT ONCE WAS.

THAT DATA HARMS ME.

Reporter: PEW RESEARCH SOUND

SELF-IDENTIFIED CHRISTIANS

MAKING UP 63% OF U.S.

POPULATION, A DROP FROM 75% JUST

10 YEARS AGO.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS DECLINE IS

HAPPENING AMONG PROTESTANTS,

DROPPING 10 POINTS IN THE LAST

DECADE, WHILE CATHOLICISM

REMAINS RELATIVELY UNCHANGED.

DURING THE SAME PERIOD, THE

GROUP CALLED RELIGIOUS NONES

HAS STEADILY GROWN.

WE ASKED PEOPLE ABOUT THE

RELIGIOUS IDENTIFICATION -- ARE

YOU PROTESTANT, CATHOLIC,

MORMON, ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN,

JEWISH, MUSLIM, BUDDHIST,

HINDU, ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC,

SOMETHING ELSE OR NOTHING IN

PARTICULAR, THE RELIGIOUS NONES

ARE THOSE THAT ANSWERED THAT

QUESTION BY DESCRIBING

THEMSELVES AS ATHEIST,

AGNOSTIC, OR NOTHING IN

PARTICULAR.

GREGORY SAYS HE SEES NO SIGN

OF THIS TREND SLOWING DOWN.

RELIGIOUS NONES CURRENTLY

ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT THREE IN 10

U.S. ADULTS.

THAT IS TRIPLE OR PERHAPS

QUADRUPLE COMPARED TO A SEVERAL

DECADES AGO.

THEY ARE GROWING LESS

RELIGIOUS AND THEY INCLUDE

PRAYER, FEWER THAN HALF OF

ADULTS DO SO DAILY.

THEY SAY THEY PRAY SELDOMLY OR

NOT AT ALL.

STILL, FOUR IN 10 SAY THEY

CONSIDER RELIGION TO BE VERY

IMPORTANT.

SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE --

THEY GREW UP IN OUR CHILDREN'S

MINISTRIES.

THEY GREW UP IN OUR YOUTH

GROUPS.

SOMEHOW, WE MISSED THEM.

WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THEM

READY TO LIVE IN THE WORLD THAT

THEIR LIFE IS PLAYING OUT IN

NOW.

Reporter: THIS PASTOR SAYS

THE CHURCH MUST SEE AND ACCEPT

THIS HARSH REALITY BEFORE IT

CAN MOVE FORWARD.

YOU HAVE THE KINGDOM OF GOD

AND THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

I THINK WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS

-- THERE WAS A COLLAPSE OF

ROBUST DISCIPLESHIP FOR AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

Reporter: TO BETTER

UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE WOULD

LEAVE THEIR FAITH, I TALKED WITH

JOHN STEINGARD, THE FORMER LEAD

SINGER FOR HAWK NELSON, A

CANADIAN CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND.

ANYBODY WHO LEAVES ANY SORT

OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY, THEY

HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOLD

THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND HOW TO

MAKE THEIR WAY IN THE WORLD,

AND THAT IS NOT SO EASY.

HIS FATHER AND FATHER-IN-LAW

ARE BOTH PASTORS AND THEY

ANNOUNCED HIS DECISION AT THE

HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC ON

INSTAGRAM.

IT SENT SHOCK WAVES THROUGH THE

CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.

PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF, WHO

DECIDE TO LEAVE A FAITH

TRADITION, TEND TO BE FOCUSED

ON THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THAT

TRADITION WHEN WE LEAVE.

WE TEND TO WANT TO POINT OUT

ALL THE THINGS THAT WE THINK

ARE HARMFUL OR UNFAIR OR

UNJUST.

HE BELIEVES THREE MAJOR

REASONS PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THE

CHURCH INCLUDE DIFFERENT

BELIEFS ON GAY RIGHTS, FAILED

SUPPORT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

ISSUES, AND POLITICAL PLATFORMS

USING FAITH TO ADVANCE A

CERTAIN POLARIZING AGENDAS.

THE CHURCH HAS TO OWN THAT

THEY REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON

DISCIPLING MEN AND WOMEN FOR

THE WORLD THEY LIVE IN.

EVEN 1 MILLION OR SO KIDS THAT

HAVE LEFT OUR CHURCH PRESENT A

STUNNING OPPORTUNITY FOR

INNOVATION AROUND EVANGELISM,

AROUND REACHING OUR NEIGHBOR.

Reporter: THEY SEE THE RISE

OF RELIGIOUS NONES TO -- THEY

WANT TO ENCOURAGE SUPPORT AND

HE CALLS UPON EACH NEW CHURCH

PLANT WITH A NETWORK -- TODAY,

THE NETWORK SUPPORTS OVER 700

CHURCHES AND THEY ARE IN 50

COUNTRIES.

I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS

WATCHING THIS OR WHETHER

HEARTBEAT WOULD BE BUT IF YOU

HAVE A HEALTHY, LOCAL CHURCH IS

MADE UP OF PEOPLE WHO LOVE

JESUS CHRIST AND KNOW HIS WORD,

DARKNESS GETS PUSHED BACK IN

1000 DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

IT IS NOT ONE BIG CHURCH THAT

THREATENS THE GATES OF HELL.

IT IS 1000 LITTLE LIGHTS IN THE

DARKNESS THAT MAKE UP THE

BRIGHTNESS AND THE HEAT OF THE

GOSPEL.

I WANT TO GIVE MY INFLUENCE

TOWARDS THAT AND GIVE MY TIME

AND INFLUENCE AND MONEY TOWARDS

THAT.

Reporter: THEY ARE UNDAUNTED

BY AMERICA'S RELIGIOUS

REALIGNMENT.

THEY STILL SEE FERTILE GROUND

FOR OUTREACH AND FOR GROWTH

AMONG PROFESSING BELIEVERS

THROUGH GENUINE CHRISTIAN

DISCIPLE OF.

IF YOU FIND IT DISTRESSING,

MAKE IT A CALL TO PRAY.

PUT THAT ON YOUR HEART AND SAY

I WANT TO PRAY ABOUT THIS AND

THIS GENERATION.

IT IS NOT AN ARGUMENT TO WIN.

IT IS A MESSAGE TO SHARE.

LOVE NEVER FAILS.

IN II CORINTHIANS, THEY TELL US

WE ARE TO BE CHRIST

AMBASSADORS.

THEY SAY IF HE WERE MAKING HIS

-- WHAT A PRIVILEGE AND AMAZING

RESPONSIBILITY IS.

WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR SOME

RESOURCES.

IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, A

MILLENNIAL IN YOUR LIFE WHO WAS

QUESTIONING THEIR FAITH, WE

HAVE A GREAT RESOURCE.

THEY ARE PUT TOGETHER AN EIGHT

PART SERIES ON THE CBN FAMILY

APP CALLED "WHAT DO CHRISTIANS

BELIEVE?"

THEY ARE ANSWERING QUESTIONS

ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN FAITH,

HISTORIC, PHILOSOPHICAL

EVIDENCE INCLUDED.

MY TEENAGE SON WAS WATCHING IT

WITHOUT EVEN PROMPTING TO DO

SO.

IT HAS SOME GOOD STUFF.

THE CBN FAMILY APP IS A GREAT

WAY TO CATCH THE 700 CLUB AND

CBN NEWS AND 700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE.

ENCOURAGE YOU TO DOWNLOAD IT

AND CHECK OUT THE SERIES .

SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE

DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITIES.

I AGREE WITH THE PASTOR THAT

WAS IN THAT PIECE.

THERE IS CYNICISM.

> UP NEXT, HOW TO WIN A

MARRIAGE BY WAGING WAR.

DOES IT SOUND COUNTERINTUITIVE?

THEY SHOW HOW FIGHTING TOGETHER

DRAWS THEM TOGETHER.

WE WILL SEE WHY WHEN THEY JOIN

FEELING WITH YOUR SPOUSE?

YOU MIGHT NEED TO FIGHT

TOGETHER TO GET IT BACK.

Reporter: JASON BENHAM IS

HALF OF A REAL ESTATE DUO IN

THE BENHAM BROTHERS.

HE AND TORI ARE A TEAM

COMMITTED TO STRENGTHENING

MARRIAGES.

THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM PERSONAL

EXPERIENCE -- IN BOOK, BEAUTY

IN BATTLE, JASON AND TORI

EXPLAIN WHY FIGHTING IN

MARRIAGE IS A GOOD THING.

PLEASE WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB JASON AND TORI BEEN THEM.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

I WANT TO START WITH YOU,

JASON.

Y IS FIGHTING A GOOD THING FOR

A COUPLE?

THINK ABOUT THE GARDEN, IN

THE GARDEN WHEN GOD CREATED

ADAM.

HE PUT THEM IN THE CONTEXT OF A

FIGHT.

HE HAD JUST BANISHED HIS ARCH

ENEMY, SATAN.

THEN HE GIVES ADAM THE ONE THING

HE NEEDS TO FIGHT THAT BATTLE,

HIS BRIDE.

MARRIAGES WERE MADE FOR A

FIGHT.

WE DISCOVERED WHEN YOU FIGHT

TOGETHER, IT DRAWS YOU

TOGETHER.

I THINK THAT IS A PRINCIPLE WE

HAVE FORGOTTEN IN MERIT.

ONE OF THE WAYS YOU WERE

DRAWN TOGETHER WAS -- YOU DO

NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BUT

CROSSFIT?

YOU WORK OUT TOGETHER? WHY WAS

THAT BENEFICIAL?

HONESTLY, IT WAS A LIGHTBULB

MOMENT.

WE DO -- SATURDAY AFTER

SATURDAY, WE WERE DOING

WORKOUTS TOGETHER.

IT IS A COMPETITIVE THING.

WE WERE A TEAM AGAINST A TEAM.

ONE OF THOSE DAYS, ON THE WAY

HOME, WE BEGAN TO DISCUSS WHAT

S IT ABOUT CROSSFIT THAT WE

CAN TALK TO EACH OTHER THE WAY

WE DO AND WE ARE ON THE SAME

PAGE AND WORKING FOR THE SAME

GOAL BUT THEN WE GET HOME AND

WE ARE LOSING AT HOME.

DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.

THE LORD REALLY USED CROSSFIT

FOR US TO BEGIN TO STRATEGIZE

ON HOW TO WIN AN HOUR HOME.

IT WAS THE SAME STRATEGY WE ARE

USING IN CROSSFIT.

TALK ABOUT HOW YOU TOOK

THOSE STRATEGIES AND MOLDED

THEM INTO YOUR EVERYDAY

RELATIONSHIP?

ONCE YOU MADE THE DISCOVERY,

TELL US, HOW DID YOU CONNECT?

SHE WOULD SAY WE HAVE TO

WORK OUT TOGETHER.

EVERYONE DOES THESE WORKOUTS

TOGETHER AND WE WOULD BE ON THE

SAME TEAM.

THEN WE ARE MOVING TOWARD A

GOAL, TO TRY TO WIN THE WORK

OUT AGAINST OTHER COUPLES THAT

ARE COMPETING.

WE ARE BARKING AT EACH OTHER

AND DOING ALL THESE THINGS AND

AT THE END, WE ARE EXHAUSTED

AND TIRED BUT WE FEEL SO

CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER.

SUFFERING TOGETHER DRAWS PEOPLE

TOGETHER.

IT HAPPENED ON 9/11.

WHEN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER

CAME DOWN, WE SAW BOSTON RED

SOX FANS LIKING YANKEES FANS.

THEY DROPPED THEIR DIFFERENCES

AND STARTED COLLABORATING

BECAUSE FIGHTING TOGETHER DRAWS

YOU TOGETHER.

IF IT WORKS LIKE THAT IN

CROSSFIT OR TERRORIST ATTACK,

CAN WORK LIKE THAT IN MARRIAGE.

THE BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY

ABOUT THE POWER OF UNITY.

YOU ALSO SAY, IN YOUR BOOK,

BEAUTY IN BATTLE, THAT IT IS

NOT ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH EACH OTHER BUT YOUR

INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH

JESUS.

TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT.

THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT A TRIANGLE,

WHERE GOD IS ON THE TOP AND THE

HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE AT EITHER

SIDE, THE CLOSER EACH PERSON

GETS TO GOD, THE CLOSER YOU ARE

TO EACH OTHER.

THE RELATIONSHIP IS NOT ABOUT

ME AND TORI BUT ABOUT HER AND

JESUS AND ME AND JESUS.

THIS MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP IS

AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE A LOVE

LIKE HIM.

IF YOU SEE IT THAT WAY, IT IS

GOING TO OPEN UP PURPOSE IN

YOUR RELATIONSHIP.

YOU REALIZE, YEAH, WE DO

EXPERIENCE CONFLICT AND THINGS

GET TOUGH BUT SO LONG AS WE

KEEP THAT PURPOSE, THAT BIG

PICTURE OUT THERE, IT WILL

DRAWS CLOSER TOGETHER.

TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE

STRUGGLE YOU HAD WHEN JASON

WOULD TRAVEL.

I DO NOT THINK THAT IS UNUSUAL.

WE WERE HAVING FUN ACTIVITIES

AND THEN LIFE BEGINS TO HAPPEN

AND IT IS A LOT MORE MUNDANE

THAN THE EXCITEMENT OF THAT AND

YOU REALLY FELT LIKE YOU WERE

LEFT BEHIND.

I THINK, A LOT OF TIMES, WE

LOOK FOR COPING STRATEGIES AND

RELATIONSHIPS TO DEAL WITH THE

PAIN.

THERE WAS A SEASON IN OUR LIFE

WHERE HE WAS TRAVELING A LOT

AND I WAS HOME WITH THE KIDS A

LOT AND I FELT MYSELF PUTTING

UP WALLS BECAUSE OF THE PAIN I

WAS FEELING DURING THAT SEASON.

I WAS SEPARATING MYSELF FROM MY

GREATEST ALLY, FROM THE PERSON

I NEEDED MOST.

I HAVE THIS TENDENCY TO PUSH

HIM AWAY AND IT REALLY BECAME A

PROBLEM AND THE LORD SHOWED ME

HOW MY THINKING WAS THE CULPRIT

OF THAT PROBLEM AND I HAD TO

BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT G JASON IN

THIS NEGATIVE WAY.

THERE WAS A SHIFT.

REALLY CHANGED OUR MARRIAGE FOR

THE BETTER.

IT REALLY REQUIRES BOTH OF

YOU TO THINK SELFLESSLY.

YES.

THERE IS A SIMPLE PROCESS THAT

CAN HELP ANYBODY WATCHING THIS

RIGHT NOW IF THEY ARE IN THE

SITUATION, WERE NEGATIVE

THINKING HAS COME IN ABOUT YOUR

SPOUSE.

IF YOU FOLLOW THIS THREE-STEP

PLAN, IT IS SO SIMPLE.

WE CALL IT RECOGNIZE, RENOUNCE,

REPLACE.

RECOGNIZE THE THOUGHTS AND

RENOUNCE THE LIES BEHIND THOSE

THOUGHTS AND REPLACE IT WITH

THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD AND THE

TRUTH OF WHAT A MARRIAGE IS

INTENDED TO BE AND YOU WILL

OVERCOME THOSE NEGATIVE

THOUGHTS AND DRAW CLOSER

TOGETHER.

THERE WERE THINGS YOU

LEARNED AS WELL, TORI, THAT YOU

PUT INTO YOUR OWN THOUGHT

PROCESS?

YES.

THEY WERE ABOUT ALIGNING

THINGS?

EXACTLY . IT WAS THESE THREE

STEPS THAT THE LORD OPENED UP

IN MATTHEW.

IT WAS DURING A SERMON THAT

JASON WAS GIVING.

I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE

PERSON I AM MOST UPSET WITH AND

TAKING THIS OUT ON IS NOW

FEEDING ME TRUTH THAT I NEED SO

DESPERATELY AND THOSE THREE

STEPS WERE JUST PIVOTAL.

HOW IMPORTANT WAS IT TO BE

IN THE WORD DURING YOUR

RESTRUCTURING AND RE-

UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THIS?

WE ARE SELFISH AND WE DO LIKE

TO THINK THE OTHER PERSON IS AT

FAULT AND SOMEHOW WE HAVE BEEN

WRONGED.

HOW DID GOD WORK IN YOUR HEART,

TORI, TO MAKE YOU ADJUST YOUR

THINKING?

IT WAS SO INTERESTING.

IN THE MOMENT, WE JUST -- WE

BECOME SO FOCUSED ON WHAT WE

ARE FOCUSED ON.

THE LORD HAD TO SHOW ME THAT

WAS NOT TRUE.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

AS I BEGAN -- I MADE IT A

PRACTICE TO GET INTO THE WORD

EVERY DAY AND THAT WAS HUGE FOR

ME BECAUSE AS THOSE LIES WERE

BOMBARDING MY HEART AND PUTTING

MYSELF IN THE WAY OF TRUTH, HE

BEGAN TO WATCH ME.

I LOOKED AT ALL OF THIS.

LOVE DOES NOT CONSIST OF

LOOKING TOWARDS EACH OTHER BUT

LOOKING OUTWARD IN THE SAME

DIRECTION.

YOU'RE ON THE SAME TEAM WHEN

YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING

ABOUT.

BEAUTY IN BATTLE IS THE NAME OF

THE BOOK.

BOY, I KNOW SO MANY MARRIAGES

ARE STRUGGLING TODAY.

READ THIS.

DO NOT WAIT TOO LONG BECAUSE

YOU DO NOT WANT -- THAT IS A

HARD PLACE TO COME BACK FROM.

GET ALL A LOOK AT THE BOOK.

IT IS CALLED BEAUTY IN BATTLE:

WINNING IN MARRIAGE BY WAGING A

WAR.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

JOSH NORTH WAS A DID DID TO

THEM WHEN HE WAS IN MIDDLE

SCHOOL.

HE WAS ASHAMED.

ONE DAY, HE WENT TO HIS

COMPUTER AND GOOGLED A SEARCH

AND WHAT HE FOUND CHANGED HIS

LIFE FOREVER.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HOLD

ONTO THAT FEELING OF YOU ARE A

MAN.

YOU NEED TO FEEL YOU ARE WORTH

SOMETHING.

JOSH NORTH FELT LIKE HE WAS

DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE.

GROWING UP JUST OUTSIDE

SEATTLE, HE WAS THE YOUNGEST OF

FOUR VOICE.

HIS DAD WAS A GROUNDSKEEPER AND

HIS MOTHER WAS A NEW-AGE

PSYCHIC.

MY MOM WAS DIFFERENT FROM

MOST PARENTS, SO I KIND OF

THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD.

I JUST WANTED TO BE IN THE IN .

AT 10, HE STARTED HANGING

OUT AND HAVING COUNSELING WITH

AN OLDER BOY, THINKING IT WOULD

MAKE THEM COOL -- UNTIL THE

BOY STARTED MOLESTING HIM.

IT NEVER FELT RIGHT.

IT NEVER FELT GOOD.

IT FELT DIRTY.

I WAS AFRAID OF MY PARENTS

KNOWING BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT

THEM TO THINK I WAS A FREAK.

HE ALSO STARTED LOOKING AT

PORNOGRAPHY.

MY MAIN GOAL WAS TO SEE THE

VIOLENCE AND THE THING I AM NOT

SUPPOSED TO WATCH AT THIS AGE.

IT MADE ME FEEL COOL AND IT

BROUGHT THIS RUSH.

YOU GOTTEN AWAY FROM THE

MOLESTING AND HOPPING BY MIDDLE

SCHOOL.

NOW THIS MADE HIM FEEL MORE

ISOLATED.

HE SKIPPED SCHOOL OFTEN.

I FELT ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED

WITH MYSELF AND I THOUGHT

EVERYBODY ELSE SEES ME THIS

WAY.

I FELT SO WORTHLESS.

BY HIGH SCHOOL, HE HAD

OUTGROWN HIS AWKWARDNESS.

I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO BE

SOMEBODY.

BUT HE LIVED FOR WAS PARTYING,

HANGING OUT WITH MY FRIENDS,

AND GETTING AS MANY GIRLS UNDER

MY BELT AS I COULD.

I BECAME ONE OF THE POPULAR

KIDS DURING THAT YEAR, AND I

DATED ONE OF THE PRETTIEST

GIRLS IN SCHOOL.

UNTIL SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM.

IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT BEING

POPULAR BUT ABOUT PROVING HE

WAS THE BEST.

DURING THAT TIME, I REALIZED

HOW HEALING MUSIC WAS AND I

LATCHED ONTO IT.

I NEEDED TO FEEL LIKE I WAS

WORTH SOMETHING AND MY WAY OF

DOING THAT WAS TO BE BETTER

THAN SOMEBODY.

I COULD NOT JUST BE LIKE THAT.

I HAD TO BE BETTER THAN THEM.

SO, I STOPPED HANGING OUT WITH

MY FRIENDS.

THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS

GOING ON BUT -- ALL I FOCUSED

ON WAS SCHOOL AND MUSIC.

JOSH GRADUATED WITH HONORS

AND EARNED ACCEPTANCE INTO THE

PRESTIGIOUS BERKLEE COLLEGE OF

MUSIC IN BOSTON.

FOR ME, AS A MUSICIAN, THAT

WAS THE ULTIMATE VALIDATION,

JUST LITERALLY GOING OUT AND

LIVING THE ROCK STAR LIFE.

THAN HIS PARENTS ANNOUNCED

THEY WERE GETTING A DIVORCE AND

SELLING HIS CHILDHOOD HOME.

FOR JOSH, THE LOSS WAS

DEVASTATING.

SO, ONCE AT SCHOOL, HE TURNED

BACK TO PORNOGRAPHY TO FILL THE

EMPTINESS.

I WATCHED A VIOLENT

PORNOGRAPHY SEEN THAT I HAD NOT

WATCHED IN SO MANY YEARS AND IT

BROUGHT THIS RUSH.

I REMEMBER FINISHING WATCHING

THAT AND KNOWING THAT I HAD

UNLOCKED SOMETHING THAT IS

GOING TO BE TOO STRONG TO EVER

GO BACK AND IT REALLY DEPRESSED

ME AND SCARED ME AND MADE ME

SAD.

EVEN IF I DID WANT TO STOP, I

COULD NOT.

SOCIALLY, I WAS DEAD.

I COULD NOT EVEN HAVE A

FRIENDSHIP.

LATER, HE WITHDREW FROM

SCHOOL AND MOVED TO HOLLYWOOD,

WHERE HE BECAME A LEAD SINGER

FOR A BAND THAT PLAYED FOR RED

CARPET EVENT.

FAME SEEMED TO BE WITHIN HIS

GRASP, BUT HE COULD NOT SHAKE

THE EMPTINESS OR IS GROWING

ADDICTION TO PORNOGRAPHY.

IT STARTED TO WEAR ON ME

EMOTIONALLY.

THERE WAS A DARKNESS THAT

STARTED TO WEAR ON ME.

I REALIZED HOW FAKE IT WAS.

I SILENTLY LEFT HOLLYWOOD WITH

MY DREAMS SHATTERED BECAUSE

THAT WAS THE DREAM.

THAT WAS THE EPITOME.

IN 2011, ADDICTED TO

ALCOHOL, PORNOGRAPHY AND SEX,

HE MOVED BACK TO SEATTLE AND

JOINED A LOCAL BAND.

A COUPLE YEARS LATER, HE

STARTED DATING ERIN, A

CHRISTIAN.

SHE WAS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER

GIRLS HE HAD BEEN WITH.

SHE STUCK WITH ME AND I PUT

HER THROUGH HELL.

I PUT HER THROUGH MY HELL.

THEY DID IT OFF AND ON FOR A

YEAR.

ONE NIGHT, DURING ONE OF THEIR

SEPARATIONS, JOSH HAD A ONE

NIGHT STAND AND THEN WENT ON A

PORNOGRAPHY AND ALCOHOL BINGE.

THREE DAYS LATER --

I WOKE UP FEELING SHAME,

GUILT, AND DIRTINESS LIKE I HAD

NOT EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

IT WAS JUST EATING ME ALIVE.

I LITERALLY JUST COLLAPSE,

CRAWLING OVER TO THIS CORNER.

I SAID, GOD, I NEED HELP.

PLEASE HELP ME.

I DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHO I WAS

TALKING TO.

I JUST KNEW THAT I NEEDED HELP

FROM GOD.

HE WENT TO HIS COMPUTER AND

GOOGLED THE WORDS "CHRISTIAN

TESTIMONY."

THE SEARCH PULLED UP THE STORY

OF BRIAN "HEAD" WELCH, THE LEAD

SINGER AND GUITARIST FOR THE

BAND KORN.

I WAS ENAMORED BY IT.

I FELT THIS CONFIDENCE AND I

FELT THIS POWER AND I FELT THIS

THING THAT WAS LITERALLY THE

EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I HAD

BEEN FEELING.

JOSH IMMEDIATELY CALLED ERIN

AND TOLD HER WHAT HAPPENED.

SHE SAID, LAST NIGHT, I FELT

COMPELLED TO PRAY FOR JESUS TO

COME INTO YOUR LIFE.

AT THAT MOMENT, I KNEW WHAT HAD

HAPPENED.

IT ALL MADE SENSE.

AT THAT MOMENT, I KNEW THAT I

NEEDED TO FIGURE OUT WHO JESUS

IS.

SO, JOSH DELVED INTO

LEARNING MORE ABOUT

CHRISTIANITY.

THE NEXT MORNING --

WHEN I WOKE UP, I COULD NOT

MOVE.

I FELT SOMETHING GET ON THE

BED.

I COULD NOT SPEAK, BUT I KNEW

THAT I COULD CALL ON THE NAME

OF JESUS BECAUSE I HEARD THAT.

I WAS THINKING, IN THE NAME OF

JESUS CHRIST, THAT IS WHAT

SHOULD NOT OF LIGHT GONE NOW.

THAT I AND MY PARALYSIS

DISSIPATED.

THAT WAS THE THING THAT

CONFIRMED IT IS ALL TRUE.

THAT STAY I GAVE MY LIFE TO

JESUS CHRIST.

AS HE LEARNED MORE ABOUT

JESUS, HIS ADDICTIONS TO

PORNOGRAPHY, SEX, AND ALCOHOL

FELL AWAY.

JESUS STARTED TO CHANGE MY

HEART.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I DID

WAS THROW AWAY ALL MY MOVIES,

THROW AWAY ALL MY MUSIC THAT

DID NOT REPRESENT HIM.

I JUST WANTED MORE OF HIM.

I KNEW THAT ANYTHING THAT DID

NOT REPRESENT HIM, I DO NOT

WANT IN MY LIFE.

JOSH AND ERIN MARRIED IN

AUGUST OF 2015.

SINCE THEN, THE COUPLE HAVE HAD

TWO CHILDREN AND JOSH IS NOW IN

FULL-TIME MINISTRY AS A WORSHIP

LEADER.

I FOUND THAT ACCEPTANCE I

WAS LOOKING FOR.

I DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE PERSON

THAT I ONCE WAS.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ANYBODY

SAYS.

IT MATTERS WHAT GOD SAYS AND

ONLY THING THAT CAN FILL THAT

HOLE IS JESUS CHRIST.

YOU CAN SEE THE ANOINTING OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT ALL OVER JOSH'S

STORY.

THERE ARE MANY THAT ARE TRAPPED

IN PORNOGRAPHY.

IT HAS ITS GRIP ON YOU AND HAS

YOU IN BONDAGE.

HE TALKED ABOUT ALCOHOL, BUT

PORNOGRAPHY HAD HIM BY THE

NECK.

GOING ON BINGES WITH ALCOHOL

AND PORNOGRAPHY AND -- IF

YOU'RE IN THAT SITUATION, WHAT

KIND OF LIFE DO YOU WANT?

I PRESUME IT IS NOT A LIFE OF

BEING A SLAVE TO THE ADDICTION

OF PORNOGRAPHY.

SATAN SETS A TRAP FOR US AND WE

BEGIN TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE

TERRITORY IN OUR LIFE.

I CAN JUST LOOK AT A LITTLE BIT

AND IT IS JUST MY SECRET.

WHEN YOU GIVE THEM A FOOTHOLD,

HE WILL START TO WRECK OUR

LIFE.

YOU CAN SEE IN JOSH'S STORY

THAT THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS

HOPE FOR YOU.

IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS AND

CONFESS OUR SIN TO GOD, HE IS

FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US

AND CLEANSE US FROM OUR SIN.

DO WE NEED A CLEANSING?

DO YOU FEEL THAT SHAME AND THAT

GUILT LIKE JOSH AND YOU WANT

OUT?

YOU WANT OUT OF THIS CYCLE?

YOU FEEL THIS RUSH AND THEN

FEEL SHAME AND GO FORWARD

AGAIN?

JESUS CAN CLEANSE US.

AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE

WEST, SO FAR HAS HE REMOVED OUR

TRANSGRESSIONS FROM US.

HE PUTS IT INTO THE DEPTHS OF

THE SEA.

DOES THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING

YOU WOULD LIKE?

WE HAVE TO CONFESS IT AND BRING

IT TO THE LORD AND STOP KEEPING

THINGS IN THE DARK.

SOMETIMES IT IS A DIFFICULT

PROCESS TO LET JESUS ILLUMINATE

OUR PAIN AND ELIMINATE OUR

ADDICTIONS.

WE NEED TO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF

THE WORD.

INSTEAD OF JUST TURNING FROM

PORNOGRAPHY IN TRYING TO

OVERCOME THIS OURSELVES, IT IS

SURRENDERING TO JESUS AND

SAYING, I WILL PURSUE

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

I WILL PURSUE THE VOICE OF GOD

AND JESUS -- I WILL LET HIM TO

WORK IN MY LIFE.

HE CAN BREAK THIS CHAIN.

I WANT TO PRAY WITH YOU NOW.

IF YOU ARE IN BONDAGE TO

PORNOGRAPHY AND WANT OUT OF

THIS, AND I BELIEVE MANY OF YOU

DO AND YOU SEE THE HOPE IN

JOSH'S STORY, LET'S PRAY ABOUT

THIS AND I WILL OFFER YOU SOME

RESOURCES TO HELP YOU OVERCOME

THIS.

FATHER, GOD, I WANT TO PRAY FOR

THOSE WHO ARE TRAPPED IN

BONDAGE TO PORNOGRAPHY.

THEY COULD BE PASTORS,

TEENAGERS, ADULTS, MEN, WOMEN,

WHOEVER.

SATAN HAS TAKEN TERRITORY AND

WE CLAIM IT BACK IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

WE LAY THIS ADDICTION OF

PORNOGRAPHY AT THE CROSS.

THAT IS WHERE THE POWER IS.

WE THANK YOU FOR THE DEATH AND

RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST,

WHO OVERCOMES THESE THINGS,

INCLUDING THE ADDICTION OF

PORNOGRAPHY.

WE JUST REBUKE THE ENEMY NOW

AND TELL HIM TO FLEE.

WE JUST SEEK THE GRACE OF JESUS

FOUND AT THE CROSS AND I PRAY

FOR THOSE IN BONDAGE, THAT YOU

WILL DELIVER THEM AND FILL THEM

WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND A

PIECE THEY HAVE NEVER

EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

WE ASK YOU TO BREAK THESE

CHAINS.

THANK YOU FOR HOPE AND VICTORY.

THAT IS IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,

AMEN.

WANT TO SEND YOU SOME

> CRIPPLING PAIN IN HER LOWER

BACK.

SHE COULD BARELY WALK.

SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS HEADED FOR

A NURSING HOME.

INSTEAD, AND SEE HOW SHE WAS

HEALED WITHOUT LEAVING HER

LIVING ROOM.

THAT IS LATER ON TODAY'S 700

CLUB.

> KHOLIFA WAS DEVASTATED WHEN

HER HUSBAND DESERTED HER AND

HER THREE CHILDREN.

HOW SHE COULD POSSIBLY SUPPORT

HER FAMILY?

SHE FOUND A WAY AND THEN COVID

HIT.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

TAKE A LOOK.

33-YEAR-OLD KHOLIFA NEVER

IMAGINED THAT HER HUSBAND

WOULD'VE AND AND THEM AND

LEAVE HER TO REACH THEIR THREE

KIDS.

MY CHILDREN ARE EVERYTHING

TO ME.

I WOULD DO ANYTHING SO THAT

THEY WOULD HAVE FOOD TO EAT.

BUT FINDING FOOD AND WORK

WAS DIFFICULT, EVEN BEFORE THE

COVID PANDEMIC.

THAT IS WHEN CBN'S ORPHAN'S

PROMISE HELPS KHOLIFA FOR THE

FIRST TIME.

WE PROVIDED HER WITH TRAINING

ON HOW TO RUN A SMALL BUSINESS

AND THEN WE GAVE HER WHAT SHE

SAID SHE NEEDED TO GET HER FOOD

STAND STARTED.

KHOLIFA SAID SHE FINALLY HAD

ENOUGH INCOME TO FEED HER

CHILDREN.

THEN COVID HIT AND PEOPLE

STAYED HOME.

BEFORE COVID, I EARNED ABOUT

SEVEN DOLLARS TO $11 A DAY.

THEN IT DROPPED TO THREE

DOLLARS A DAY DURING THE

PANDEMIC.

DURING THAT TIME, ORPHAN'S

PROMISE HELPED HER AND OTHER

HARD-HIT FAMILIES BY PROVIDING

FOOD PACKS, WHICH INCLUDED RICE

AND OTHER STAPLES.

AS THE COVID CRISIS EASED AND

PEOPLE RETURNED TO WORK,

KHOLIFA SAID THEY BEGAN TO BUY

FROM HER AGAIN.

HER INCOME IS NOW DOUBLE WHAT

IT WAS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC

STARTED.

I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE

PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ORPHAN'S

PROMISE.

BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP, WE HAVE

GOTTEN THROUGH THESE DIFFICULT

TIMES.

THANK YOU.

COVID WAS A DIFFICULT TIME

FOR EVERYONE BUT FOR SOMEONE

LIKE KHOLIFA, WHO WAS LEFT ON

HER OWN TO SUPPORT HERSELF AND

THREE CHILDREN, IT WAS

DEVASTATING.

THANKS TO ORPHAN'S PROMISE,

THEY ARE KEEPING FAMILIES

TOGETHER, SO CHILDREN DO NOT

WIND UP IN ORPHANAGES OR

CHILDREN'S HOMES.

VERY OFEN, IT IS AS SIMPLE AS

HELPING A WOMAN WHO WAS LEFT

ALONE TO RAISE A FAMILY, TO

FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO LIFE AND

TO FEED HER CHILDREN EVERY DAY

AND TO KNOW THERE IS A

SUSTAINABLE INCOME FOR THEM.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO

THOSE WHO JOINED US BECAUSE

WHEN YOU DO, YOU HELP US TO

ESTABLISH PROGRAMS LIKE THIS IN

THE LIVES OF MOMS LIKE KHOLIFA

AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT IS

MAKING IN THE LIFE OF HER

CHILDREN.

NO ANXIETY.

NO WORRY OR HUNGER.

A SOLID FAMILY REUNION THAT IS

STAYING TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY

CAN.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR

HELPING US.

TO JOIN US IS SUCH A SIMPLE

THING.

IT IS $0.65 OR $20.00 AND IT

> MEET A WOMAN WHO DID NOT

BELIEVE IN THE HEALING POWER OF

PRAYER AND THEN SHE

SUPERNATURALLY HEALED HERSELF.

WE WILL ALSO BE PRAYINGFOR YOU

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD HAVE

TO LIVE OUT HER DAYS IN A

NURSING HOME.

SHE HAD THROWN OUT HER BACK AND

SUFFERED CRIPPLING PAIN.

SHE TURN ON THE TV AND SOMEHOW

SHE KNEW SHE WAS ABOUT TO BE

HEALED.

LIKE ALL OF US, VICKY RUDDEL

HAS NO PAIN IN HER LIFE BUT IN

MAY OF 2019, SHE EXPERIENCED A

PAIN SO DEBILITATING, LIFE AS

SHE KNEW IT CAME TO A HALT.

I HAD TAKEN A SHOWER AND I

WAS WIPING THE BACK OF THE

SHOWER DOWN AND I MOVED A

CERTAIN WAY AND, ALL OF A

SUDDEN, IT WAS LIKE THIS

HORRIBLE PRINT, EXCRUCIATING

PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK.

I WENT, OH, GOD, WHAT DID I DO?

IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

I COULD HARDLY WALK.

SHE TRIED LYING DOWN AND

STRETCHING AND EVEN STARTED

WEARING A BRACE, BUT NOTHING

WORKED.

I DID NOT GO ANYWHERE.

I WAS BARELY WALKING AROUND

WITH MY BRACE ON ALL THE TIME.

I KEPT SAYING TO MYSELF, IF I'M

GOING TO LIVE LIKE THIS, I WILL

HAVE TO GO TO A NURSING HOME.

SHE HAD BEEN GOING TO

DOCTORS FOR HER CHRONIC

ARTHRITIS BUT FOR THIS, SHE

TRULY BELIEVED THE LORD WAS

GOING TO HEAL HER.

I KNOW HOW BAD MY ARTHRITIS

IS AND I HAVE GONE TO A LOT OF

CHIROPRACTORS AND I JUST KNEW

THERE WAS NOBODY THAT WILL FIX

THIS EXCEPT JESUS.

I HAD ALREADY MADE UP MY MIND

AND, IN MY HEART, THAT HE WOULD

BE THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD HEAL

ME.

Reporter: FOR MUCH OF HER

LIFE, VICKY WAS SKEPTICAL OF

THOSE WHO MADE SUCH CLAIMS.

I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT JESUS

HEALS.

I DID NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THAT.

THEN SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO

JESUS.

SHE ALSO STARTED WATCHING THE

700 CLUB EVERY DAY.

NOW, SEEING FIRSTHAND THE POWER

OF GOD'S HEALING IN OTHERS,

VICKY BELIEVED.

WHEN I WOULD WATCH THE 700

CLUB, SOMETHING CAME OVER ME

ALL THE TIME.

I FELT A PIECE.

I KNEW THAT IT WAS REAL.

YEARS LATER, SHE WAS CERTAIN

OF GOD'S ABILITY TO HEAL NOT

ONLY OTHERS BUT HER AS WELL.

AFTER SHE INJURED HER BACK, AS

ALWAYS, SHE TURNED ON THE 700

CLUB, BUT THIS TIME SOMETHING

FELT DIFFERENT.

THE TWO DAYS FELT LIKE

ETERNITY.

I COULD HARDLY SIT DOWN.

BUT I TURNED THAT TV ON -- I

JUST KNEW IN MY SPIRIT THAT I

WAS GOING TO GET AN ANSWER.

I KNEW IT WHEN I TURNED IT ON.

AS SOON AS THEY STARTED

PRAYING, WENDY SAID IT --

THERE IS SOMEONE, YOUR SPINE

-- YOU ARE TOTALLY OUT OF

ALIGNMENT AND YOU ARE IN A LOT

OF DISCOMFORT AND PAIN.

GOD IS PUTTING YOU BACK INTO

ALIGNMENT TODAY IN JESUS' NAME.

I DID NOT EVEN GET UP AND I

KNEW THE PAIN WAS GONE.

IT IS JUST INSTANT GONE, LIKE A

MIRACLE GONE.

AND THEN WHEN I STOOD UP, I

JUST PUT MY HANDS UP AND AARON

WENT, PRAISE BE TO THE LORD,

JESUS.

I KNEW IT WAS GONE.

I WAS HEALED.

THE PAIN NEVER CAME BACK AFTER

THAT.

TODAY, SHE IS ABLE TO GET

AROUND WITHOUT THAT

EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN HER SPINE.

ABOVE ALL, SHE HAS DISCOVERED

MORE OF THE LOVE OF JESUS.

I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT HE

LOVED ME, REALLY LOVED ME.

MY FAITH CHANGED SO MUCH AFTER

THAT, GOT SO POWERFUL, SO MUCH

STRONGER.

AND NOW, UNDER ANYTHING THAT

HAPPENS TO ME, I KNOW THAT HE

LOVES ME.

I AM GLAD VICKY SHARED HER

STORY.

WE MIGHT NOT SPECIFICALLY STATE

THE CONDITION -- WE BELIEVE IN

THE POWER OF PRAYER. WE ARE

GOING TO PRAY IN JUST A MOMENT

AS WE CLOSE THE PROGRAM WE WANT

TO SHARE SOME REPORTS, ONE FROM

ANNE-MARIE IN ARKANSAS.

HER DOCTOR SAID SHE NEEDED A

SURGICAL PROCEDURE. SHE WAS

WATCHING US AND HER TERRY SAY,

SOMEONE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH

AN OCULAR ISSUE AND THERE IS A

SMALL TUMOR IN THE BACK OF YOUR

EYE.

IT WILL DIMINISH AND DISAPPEAR.

THE DOCTOR CONFIRMED THAT

HEALING.

THAT IS AMAZING.

THEY SAID, I WAS WATCHING A

STORY WHEN I HEARD ANDREW

PRAYING FOR SOMEONE STRUGGLING

WITH MENTAL CLARITY, SAYING THE

LORD IS RENEWING THEIR MIND

WITH CLARITY AND PURPOSE.

I HAVE HAD HORRIBLE BRAIN FOG

AND CONFUSION FOR DAYS AND IT

WAS STARTING TO SCARE ME.

I CLAIMED THE WORD AND BEGAN TO

FEEL THE FOG LIFT AND THAT

CONFUSION IS GONE.

I KNOW IT WAS THE LORD.

LET'S SEEK THE LORD.

FATHER, GOD, WE CELEBRATE YOUR

FAITHFULNESS AND YOUR LOVE.

LORD, FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN A

SEASON OF DRYNESS AND SEARCHING

FOR YOU, WE PRAY HE WILL REVEAL

YOURSELF, EVEN IN THESE

MOMENTS, AS TERRY AND I PRAYED.

WE THANK YOU FOR MEETING WITH

US.

THERE IS SOMEONE THAT HAS

CHRONIC DIGESTIVE ISSUES.

IT AFFECTS YOUR LIFE EVERY

SINGLE DAY AND IT IS SO

DISTRESSING.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU.

JUST PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR

ABDOMEN.

YOU WILL FEEL A WARMTH COME

OVER IT AS GOD TOUCHES YOUR

BODY AND SETS EVERYTHING IN

ORDER.

THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL

CONDITION BUT SOMEONE IS

SEEKING GUIDANCE FROM GOD.

PROVERBS 3:5-6. ACKNOWLEDGE

HIM.

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR

WALK THAT GOD IS TRYING TO

SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT, SO JUST

LOOK AT PROVERBS 3:5-6. THANK

YOU FOR THE DIRECTION YOU GIVE

US.

SOME ARE SO BOUND AND TIED,

EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY,

PSYCHOLOGICALLY, AND IT IS NOT

BECAUSE OF A LACK -- SOMEONE

HAS HURT YOU.

RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE

LIMITATIONS.

LET GO OF THAT.

JUST RECEIVE PEACE IN YOUR

SPIRIT TO RELEASE THAT PERSON.

HE IS THE ONE WHO GIVES JUSTICE

AND MEETS IT OUT.

LET GO OF IT AND LET GOD GIVE

YOU PEACE AND HEALING IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

LAZARUS IS COMING OUT.

SOMEONE IS IN BOUNDED AND THEY

CANNOT WALK BECAUSE OF

CRIPPLING FEAR.

THIS IS NOT HIS DESIGN FOR YOU.

HE WANTS TO BRING YOU PEACE.

WE THANK YOU FOR THE TIME SPENT

WITH YOU WHEN WE THINK -- --

WHATEVER YOU DO IN WORD OR

DEED, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE

LORD JESUS, GIVING THANKS TO

GOD THE FATHER THROUGH HIM.
