> HI, EVERYONE, WELCOME TO

THE 700 CLUB. DESPITE GROWING

LEGAL ISSUES, FORMER PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP STILL HOLDS A

COMMANDING LEAD IN THE GOP

PRIMARIES. WITH FIVE MONTHS TO

GO BEFORE THE IOWA CAUCUSES,

ONE STATE EVANGELICAL LEADER

SAYS HE SEES A DIFFERENT STORY

UNFOLDING.

FORMER PRESIDENT, VICE

PRESIDENT MIKE SPENCE HOPING

CLOSING THE GAP WITH TRUMP. HE

SAT DOWN WITH ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON , CBN.COM REPORTER,

ABOUT HIS EFFORTS TO STAND

DOWN FROM THE PACK.

Reporter: CONCERNED

EVANGELICALS PLAYED A KEY ROLE

IN SENDING PRESIDENT TRUMP TO

THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2016. WHILE

HE DELIVERED ON MANY POLICY

PROMISES, HIS DEMEANOR THIS

TIME AROUND FOR THE TIME

REMAINS A CHALLENGE, LEAVING

CANDIDATES HOPEFUL THERE IS AN

OPPORTUNITY TO CHIP AWAY AT THE

FRONT RUNNER 'S EVANGELICAL

SUPPORT.

I THINK I WAS WIDE OPEN, I

THINK IT'S VERY OPEN TO DEFEAT

DONALD TRUMP.

BOB, CEO AND PRESIDENT OF

THE FAMILY LEADER, ALSO KNOWN

AS A GOP KINGMAKER IN IOWA. HE

IS CASTING SERIOUS DOUBTS ON

TRUMP OFFICE 26 POINT LEAD IN

THE STATES.

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S NOT MY

FIRST RODEO. I'VE LOOKED AT

POLLS BEFORE. IN 2008, RUDY

GIULIANI WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR

NOMINEE. AND IN '16 JENNA BUSH

OR WALKER WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR

NOMINEE. I DON'T THINK THAT

SUPPORTS THE POLLS.

Reporter: HE TELLS CBN NEWS

HE WILL DETERMINE AT

THANKSGIVING WHETHER OR NOT HE

WILL ENDORSE AND BELIEVES

EVANGELICAL VOTERS ARE FOCUSED

ON ONE KEY ISSUE.

WHO CAN WIN IN 2024? AND I

WOULD SAY THAT'S MORE OF A

PRIORITY THIS GO AROUND THAN

BEFORE . EVERY TWO YEARS WE SAY

THIS IS THE MOST POTENT

ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME. IN

2024 WE REALLY BELIEVE THIS IS

THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF

OUR LIFETIME. WE BELIEVE A

CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE

STATESMAN NEEDS TO WIN IN 2024.

Reporter: FORMER VICE

PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE IS ONE OF

THOSE CONTENDERS HOPING TO

STAND OUT IN THE CROWD FOR

EVANGELICAL VOTERS.

I HOPE PEOPLE SEE ME AS THE

MOST CONSISTENT, PROVEN

CONSERVATIVE IN THIS RACE.

Reporter: AT A MEETING

WITH CHRISTIAN LEADERS FROM

AROUND THE COUNTRY--

I THINK IT'S TO ENSURE THAT

WE ARE DEFENDING THE RIGHT OF

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN

AMERICA, THE FIRST AMENDMENT

PROTECTS THE FREEDOM OF

RELIGION IN THIS COUNTRY , AND

AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES, I'LL BE APPOINTING

JUDGES TO OUR COURTS AT EVERY

LEVEL THAT WILL UPHOLD

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. THE POINT

PENCE TELLS CBN NEWS IS WELL

KNOWN BUT NOT KNOWN WELL.

PEOPLE THINK OF ME AS THE

LOYAL VICE PRESIDENTS STANDING

BEHIND THE PRESIDENT THREE

CONSEQUENTIAL ADMINISTRATION. I

WAS ALWAYS LOYAL TO PRESIDENT

TRUMP ONTO MY OATH TO THE

CONSTITUTION HIRED ME TO DO

OTHERWISE. I MAY NOT KNOW I WAS

A GOVERNOR OF THE STATE THAT

BALANCED BUDGETS, BUT TAXES,

HAD RECORD EMPLOYMENT, STOOD

FOR LIFE, EDUCATIONAL CHOICE,

FOR PARENTS.

Reporter: PENS IS PULLING

AROUND 2% IN IOWA. HE OFTEN

DEFENDS HIS ACTIONS CERTIFYING

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S ELECTION

VICTORY, ON JANUARY 6th, 2020.

THE PRESIDENT ASKED ME TO

CHOOSE HIM OVER THE

CONSTITUTION. I CHOSE THE

CONSTITUTION, AND I ALWAYS

WILL.

Reporter: IOWA VOTERS ARE

HEARING HIM OUT.

I'M CONCERNED HOW HE HANDLED

HIS TIME WITH TRUMP IN THE

OFFICE. BUT I THINK THE MORE I

HEAR THE MORE I DID HE WAS

LOYAL TO HIM.

Reporter: ONE OF MANY

CANDIDATES PULLING VOTERS AWAY

FROM THE CURRENT GOP FRONT

RUNNER.

THEY ARE ALL MAKING A PLAY

FOR THE LANE, AND THEY ARE

DOING A GOOD JOB, THEY ARE HERE

A LOT, THEY ARE SHAKING HANDS

AND LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE,

AND THAT'S PART OF THE BATTLE.

PEOPLE NEED TO BE DETERMINED TO

TRUST YOU. ALL THESE

CANDIDATES, ARE ALL WORKING

EXCEPTIONALLY HARD.

Reporter: WITH MANY IOWA

EVANGELIC IS SAYING THEY ARE

OPEN TO SOMEONE BESIDES TRUMP

THE STATE'S JANUARY CAUCUS

WILL BE THE FIRST OFFICIAL

INDICATOR OF WHETHER

EVANGELICAL VOTERS WILL INDEED

MOVE ON FROM THE FORMER

> A FIERCE BATTLE BETWEEN

HINDU AND CHRISTIAN IS RAGING

IN REMOTE REGION IN INDIA.

SOME EXPERTS BLAME THE

COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT FOR

FUELING THE RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE.

AS GEORGE THOMAS REPORTS, WAS

STARTED AS A FEUD OVER ECONOMIC

BENEFITS NOW HAS THE STATE

TEETERING ON THE BRINK OF A

CIVIL WAR.

MANIPUR , AND THE STATE

AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS THE

SWITZERLAND OF INDIA FOR ITS

NATURAL BEAUTY AND REMOTENESS

LOOKS MORE LIKE A WAR ZONE

TODAY.

SOME ARGUE THE STATE IS IN

CIVIL WAR WITH RUMORS OF

KILLINGS AND BEHEADINGS.

THE TRIBAL CHRISTIAN

MINORITY OVERLAND AND

INFLUENCE IN THE STATE HAS

LEFT AT LEAST 180 PEOPLE DEAD

AND OVER 500 INJURED.

300 CHURCHES HAVE BEEN

DESTROYED, AND JUST IMAGINE

THAT, ONE, TWO, FIVE, 10, BUT

WE ARE TALKING 300 CHURCHES

DESTROYED.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

ACCUSES INDIA'S HINDU-LED BJP

GOVERNMENT FEELING VIOLENCE

BY " POLITICALLY MOTIVATED,

DIVISIVE POLICIES PROMOTING

HINDU MAJORITARIANISM. " A

NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION WAS FACED

IN LAST WEEK IN PARLIAMENT FOR

HIS SILENCE ON THE ESCALATING

VIOLENCE.

THE UNDERLYING ISSUE IS HERE

THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, THE

BJP PARTY, LED BY PRIME

MINISTER MODI, HAS NOT

REACTED. SETTING CONTEXT FOR

WHY THE VIOLENCE WAS HAPPENING

THAT IGNORED THE VIOLENCE

AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

CHECKING CARS FOR

CHRISTIANS , AND A HINDU MOM

PARADED NAKED TWO CHRISTIAN

WOMEN, ONE HAD BEEN PURPORTEDLY

GANG RAPED. SEVERAL VIDEOS ON

SOCIAL MEDIA ALSO SHOWED

RUNNING DOWN CHURCHES.

THE PERPETRATORS THEMSELVES

ARE POSTING VIDEOS OF MOB

ATTACKS ON CHURCHES, THEY ARE

SHOWING THAT CHURCH IS BEING

BURNED DOWN. THEY SHOW THE

POLICE STEPPING ASIDE TO ALLOW

THE MOB TO ATTACK THESE

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.

CHRISTIANS HAVE LOST

COMPLETE TRUST IN THE MANIPUR

POLICE . THIS VIDEO, SHOWING

DOZENS OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN

KNEELING, CRYING, AND BEGGING

INDIAN SOLDIERS TO STAY IN

THEIR VILLAGE, FEARFUL OF MORE

HINDU ATTACKS. FIGHTING

ERUPTED IN EARLY MAY WHEN THE

STATE GOVERNMENT EXTENDED

LENGTH, JOBS, AND OTHER

BENEFITS TYPICALLY RESERVED

FOR THE MINORITY CHRISTIANS TO

THE HINDUS. THE DECISION LED

TO SOME OF THE WORST FIGHTING

BETWEEN THE TWO BIGGEST TRIBES

IN THE STATE. HUMAN RIGHTS AND

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM EXPERTS

ACCUSE SERVANT SELLING'S

GOVERNMENT OF PUSHING A RADICAL

IDEOLOGY THAT BELIEVES INDIA

IS FOR HINDUS ONLY DESPITE ITS

PLURALISTIC AND DIVERSE

SOCIETY.

THIS POLITICAL MOVEMENT IS

ESSENTIALLY SAYING INDIA IS

YOUR HOMELAND, BUT IT MUST ALSO

BE YOUR HOLY LAND, IT IS

PUTTING A RELIGIOUS UMBRELLA

OVER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS.

IT'S ALLOWING THEM TO FORCE

OTHER MINORITY FAITHS OUT.

THE VIOLENCE IN MANIPUR HAS

DISPLACED MORE THAN 60,000

PEOPLE INTERNALLY, AND IT'S NOT

JUST IN MANIPUR. THE NEW

DELHI-BASED UNITED CHRISTIAN

FORUM SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN

MORE THAN 400 INCIDENTS

AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN 22 OTHER

INDIAN STATES IN THE FIRST SIX

MONTHS OF THIS YEAR. INDIA,

WITH 1.4 BILLION PEOPLE , IS

THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEMOCRACY.

HOWEVER, MODI'S CRITICS ARGUE

DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN IN RETREAT

SINCE HE TOOK POWER IN 2014.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT

INDIA IN MAY FOR ITS

DETERIORATING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

AND ITS TREATMENT OF

CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS IN

PARTICULAR.

GOVERNMENT ACTIONS,

INCLUDING THE PASSAGE AND

ENFORCEMENT OF DISCRIMINATORY

POLICIES, SUCH AS HIJAB BANS,

ANTI-CONVERSION LAWS, AND

ANTI-COW SLAUGHTER LAWS, HAVE

CREATED A CULTURE OF IMPUNITY

FOR THREATS OF VIOLENCE BY

VIGILANTE GROUPS, ESPECIALLY

AGAINST MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS HAS MEMBERS

NEW DELHI SUBJECT TO US

SANCTIONS VIOLATING THE

INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

ACT.

DIPLOMACY OR TO GET IN THE

WAY OF CALLING IT FOR WHAT IT

IS, IF A COUNTRY IS ENGAGING IN

SERIOUS RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION

THEY NEED TO BE DESIGNATED CBC.

GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.

> 300 CHURCHES , DESTROYED

WHILE THE POLICE STEP ASIDE

AND LET IT HAPPEN. CHECKPOINTS

WHERE PEOPLE ARE CHECKING CARS

FOR CHRISTIANS, AND

INTERESTINGLY, THESE HUMAN

BLOCKADES ARE MADE UP OF WOMEN

AND IT'S CLEAR TO SEE WHY YOU

HAVE WOMEN WAILING IN THE

STREETS, MAKING THE MILITARY

FOR PROTECTION, AND THIS

PERSECUTION IS NOT JUST AGAINST

CHRISTIANS, IT'S MUSLIMS AS

WELL. GEORGE, THANK YOU FOR THE

STORY PLEADED .

> KELLY TRIED TO PROTECT HER

SON, THOMAS. WHEN SHE SAW THE

KIDS BULLYING HIM SHE PULLED

HIM OUT OF SCHOOL. SHE TOOK HIM

TO COUNSELING, AND THEY

EMBRACED EVERY MOMENT TOGETHER

AS A FAMILY. BUT ON

THANKSGIVING DAY, THOMAS LOST

HIS BATTLE WITH HIS MENTAL

HEALTH CHALLENGES, SO KELLY

WANTS TO SHARE THEIR STORY

HOPING THAT THE TRAGIC DEATH OF

HER SON CAN BE USED TO SAVE THE

LIVES OF OTHERS.

THOMAS ALWAYS HAD THE

BIGGEST SMILE IN THE ROOM. HE

WOULD ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT

EVERYONE WAS INCLUDED. HE WAS

BRILLIANT. HE WAS JUST ALWAYS

LOOKING OUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE .

I WAS BORN WITH A BILATERAL

CLEFT PALATE AND NO NOSE. I HAD

OVER 20 OPERATIONS ON MY FACE.

PEOPLE DON'T HAVE MANY

SYMPATHIES FOR FACIAL DEFECTS.

I WAS PICKED ON. IT HEIGHTENED

MY AWARENESS OF BULLYING AND

THE EFFECTS IT COULD HAVE. SO,

FAST-FORWARD, AND I MARRIED TO

MY HUSBAND, CHRIS, AND WE HAVE

THREE BOYS, CHRIS, TONYA,

DANIEL. CHRIS SERVED 20 YEARS

ACTIVE DUTY NAVY. WE WERE

MOVING EVERY 18 MONTHS. I FELT

IT WAS GOOD TO HOME SCHOOL FOR

THAT REASON. I WANTED TO KEEP

CONSISTENCY IN EDUCATION AND

WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

WERE NOT EXPOSED TO THE

BULLYING THAT I WAS. WHILE

OVERSEAS MY YOUNGEST, DANIEL,

SUDDENLY BECAME VERY , LEAVING

MY HUSBAND TO FINISH HIS TOUR

IN THE PHILIPPINES, I MOVED

BACK TO THE STATES WITH THE

BOYS TO GET DANIEL THE MEDICAL

HELP HE NEEDED. DANIEL HAD

VERY LOW PLATELETS AND VERY LOW

WHITE BLOOD CELLS , AND NOBODY

KNEW WHY. SO, DANGEROUSLY LOW,

HE WOULD BRUSH HIS TEETH AND

WOULD LEAD IT HE HAD BRUISES

ALL OVER HIM, LIKE SOMEBODY WAS

BEATING HIM UP . THE DOCTORS

COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS

WRONG WITH DANIEL. THEY TRIED

SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEDICINES,

AND HE JUST KEPT GETTING MORE

. I WAS CONSTANTLY AT THE

HOSPITAL . AND I HAD THE OTHER

TWO, MY OLDER TWO , AND IT WAS

THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE SENT

TO PUBLIC SCHOOL. THOMAS

STARTED WITHDRAWING AND NOT

BEING HIS FUND, SMILING HAPPY

SELF. BUT, I DON'T THINK UP

ON IT EARLY ENOUGH. I WAS SO

FOCUSED ON DANIEL. MY OLDER SON

TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE

ANY FRIENDS AT SCHOOL. I ASKED

HIM IF HE WANTED TO COME BACK

AND HOMESCHOOL AGAIN, BUT HE

KEPT SAYING IT WOULD BE TOO

HARD FOR ME. HE'S ALWAYS

THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE

AND THAT IS JUST THE WAY THOMAS

WAS. I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS

BEING BULLIED . HE STARTED

GETTING ANGRY AND HAVING

OUTBURSTS , WE TRIED TO GET HIM

COUNSELING. HE JUST KEPT

GETTING MORE ANGRY. I HAD GONE

TO PICK UP HIS OLDER BROTHER

FROM SCHOOL, AND I WAS

STANDING AT THE ATTENDANCE

OFFICE WAITING FOR MY OLDER SON

TO COME. AND, THERE WERE A

GROUP OF STUDENTS IN BETWEEN

CLASSES, SWITCHING CLASSES, AND

THEY WERE WALKING BY, AND

THEY WERE CALLING MY SON ALL

SORTS OF NAMES, AND THOMAS,

YOU ARE A LOSER, AND-- AND,

AND THEY WALKED RIGHT BY THE

ATTENDANCE OFFICE, RIGHT BY THE

SECURITY GUARD, AND THERE WERE

ADULTS IN THE HALLWAY

LISTENING TO IT, AND NOBODY

SAID ANYTHING . NOBODY STOPPED

IT. NOBODY EVEN LOOKED

SURPRISED IT WAS GOING ON. A

COUPLE DAYS LATER , HE CAME

HOME WITH BRUISES, HE HAD BEEN

PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED AT SCHOOL,

AND THAT'S WHEN I PULLED HIM

OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL. HE WAS

UPSET, HE DID NOT WANT TO GO TO

THIS NEW SCHOOL. HE WAS

THROWING A FIT, AND I DROPPED

HIM OFF THE FIRST DAY, AND I

PICKED HIM UP , AND HE GOT IN

THE CAR AND SAID MOM, THEY WERE

NICE TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHY I

DIDN'T PULL HIM OUT EARLIER. HE

WAS SMILING AGAIN. HE WAS BACK

TO BEING SOCIAL AND FUN. COVID

WAS DEVASTATING FOR THOMAS.

HE HAD NOT HAD FRIENDS, AND, HE

HAD BEEN BULLIED FOR SEVERAL

YEARS, AND NOW HE FINALLY WAS

WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE

KIND TO HIM, AND HE FELT

CONNECTED WITH , AND COVID

THAT AWAY. THEY DIDN'T HAVE

THEIR DANCE AND PROM, AND THEY

DIDN'T HAVE GRADUATION , AND IT

WAS LIKE, JUST LIGHTS WENT OFF

IN HIS EYES, AND HE JUST HUNG

OUT IN HIS ROOM, 18, AND I SAW

HIM CRY ON AUDIBLE OCCASIONS,

AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO START

SCHOOL, COLLEGE, IN JANUARY,

GOVERNMENT SAID THAT THE

COLLEGES WEREN'T GOING TO OPEN

UP, AND THIS WAS A NEW NORMAL.

IT WAS REALLY DEVASTATING. AND

THERE WAS NO OUTLET , HE HAD

BEEN GOING TO COUNSELING BEFORE

WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE

BULLYING. THE COUNSELING

STOPPED BECAUSE OF COVID. THE

WHOLE FAMILY WAS SO EXCITED,

EVERYONE GOT UP, WE HAD SPENT

THE NIGHT BEFORE CLEANING AND

PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING

READY, AND TALKING ABOUT ALL

THE FUN THINGS WE WERE GOING TO

DO, HE

PLAY POOL LATER. WE STARTED

COOKING THANKSGIVING DINNER, WE

GO UPSTAIRS, AND I SAW HIM

COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM, AND

I CAUGHT HIM WITH A VAPING

THING. I TOOK IT AWAY AND GAVE

HIM A HUG, LIKE WANT TO TALK

ABOUT IT? HE IS LIKE NO, SO HE

WENT INTO HIS ROOM, LIKE ALL

RIGHT. WE ALL STARTED TAKING

LOOKS THROUGH THE HOUSE LOOKING

FOR HIM. MY HUSBAND WENT

UPSTAIRS, AND HE CAME DOWN,

AND, HE LOOKED FRANTIC, LIKE

THIS IS REALLY BAD , KELLY, I

NEED TO TALK TO YOU. HE PULLED

ME INTO THE OTHER ROOM, HE GOES

THOMAS HAS SHOT HIMSELF. I

DROPPED EVERYTHING AND RAN

UPSTAIRS, AND HE IS LYING THERE

IN THE ATTIC , AND I CRAWL IN

THERE, AND I AM HOLDING HIM,

TALKING TO HIM LIKE HOLD ON.

THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD THAT WAS

THERE, THERE WAS NO WAY HE

COULD SURVIVE THAT, BUT I KEPT

TALKING TO HIM, TELLING HIM TO

HOLD ON. I DON'T THINK I HAVE

EVER CRIED LIKE THAT. IT'S A

PAIN THAT YOU JUST CAN'T

DESCRIBE. I AM HIS MOTHER. HOW

DID I NOT SEE IT? HOW DID I NOT

STOP IT? I PASTOR CAME OVER,

THANK GOD THEY CAME OVER . HE

CAME UP TO THE DOOR, AND MY

HUSBAND SAID, WE CAN DO ALL

THINGS THROUGH CHRIST'S

STRENGTH. IT WAS THE ONLY WAY

WE GOT THROUGH WAS TO HAVE

GOT'S STRENGTH IN US. HE USED

OUR CHURCH AS HIS HANDS AND

FEET. THEY CAME INTO A

HORRIBLE SITUATION THAT NOBODY

WANTS TO BE IN. PEOPLE

UNDERESTIMATE HOW BIG A DEAL

THAT IS JUST TO SHOW UP . IT'S

NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN SURVIVE

WITHOUT THE PRESENTS OF GOD

ACTUALLY THERE, PHYSICALLY

THERE, SEEING US AT OUR

ABSOLUTE WORST, NOT EXPECTING

ANYTHING FROM US, JUST GIVING,

AND TO LOVE ENOUGH TO BE IN

THAT HORRIBLE SITUATION. 2

1/2 YEARS, AND I FEEL LIKE A

WHOLE DIFFERENT PERSON. THERE

IS A PIECE OF YOU MISSING. I

KNOW THE LORD IS GOOD. I KNOW

E COULD HAVE SAVED THOMAS. I

KNOW OUR GOD TO DO ANYTHING. I

DON'T KNOW WHY SHE DIDN'T, I

KNOW OUR GOD IS GOOD. AND

THAT'S ALL I REST IN. I COULD

FEEL THE LORD HERE. I DON'T

KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD SURVIVE

SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITHOUT

GOD PHYSICALLY BEING THERE, I

WOULD, LIKE, TO STOP THE

UPWARD TREND OF SUICIDE. I

WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GET THE

WORD OUT, AND I WOULD LOVE TO

HELP. LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS AND

SO IMPORTANT. I WANT TO USE

THOMAS' STORY TO BRING CHANGE

BUYERS REMORSE, HOW ABOUT

SELLER'S REMORSE? DAVE BROWN

STILL REMEMBERS KNOCKING ON A

DOOR BACK WHEN HE WAS 22 YEARS

OLD. HE MADE THE SALE, BUT IT'S

ONE THAT HAUNTED HIM FOR THE

NEXT 20 YEARS. DAVE BROWN IS

ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT SALES

PROFESSIONALS IN THE WORLD , AS

THE FOUNDING PARTNER OF

SOUTHWEST CONSULTING, DAVE HAS

BEEN MAKING RECORDS FOR

DECADES, YET IS GO AFTER A

SALES TRANSACTION LEFT HIM

FEELING HORRIBLE, THE LORD

CONVICTED HIM TO DO THINGS

DIFFERENTLY. IN HIS BOOK,

SERVANT SELLING, DAVE SHARES

HOW THIS APPROACH TO PUTTING

HIS CUSTOMER 'S NEEDS ABOVE HIS

OWN TRANSFORMED HIS LIFE AND

HOW THOSE PRINCIPLES CAN CHANGE

YOUR LIFE, TOO.

DAVE BROWN IS WITH US TO

TALK ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK. THIS

BOOK IS PRIMARILY FOR FOLKS IN

THE SALES BUSINESS ABOUT

ACHIEVING GREATER SUCCESS, BUT

WE WANT DAVE HERE, BECAUSE GOD

GAVE YOU A GREAT REVELATION FOR

YOUR CAREER. IT'S A

FASCINATING STORY. SO LET'S GO

BACK. YOU ARE A YOUNG

SALESMAN, YOU ARE EAGER WITH

BIG GOALS. WHAT CHANGED YOUR

MIND SAID?

YEAH, IT WAS A CLEAR DAY OF

GOING DOING WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE DOING, GOING OUT THERE

AND SELLING AND NOT BEING AS

FORTHRIGHT AS I SHOULD HAVE

BEEN, LEAVING A FEW THINGS OUT

OF THE SALE AND FEELING IT

IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.

NOT NECESSARILY DECEITFUL?

NO, JUST CHANGE THE SUBJECT

HERE AND THERE, EXPAND A LITTLE

MORE ON WHAT THE PRODUCT COULD

DO, AND I FELT BAD ABOUT IT.

BUT I MADE THE SALE. THE

BUSINESS WAS INFLUENTIAL, THE

FAMILY WAS HIGH PROFILE. IT'S

SOMETHING I LOOKED BACK ON,

LIKE THIS IS SALES, THIS IS HOW

IT SHOULD BE, OR IS IT? I MADE

THE SALE BUT LOST A LITTLE

INTEGRITY.

WHAT DID THAT TEACH YOU?

IT SHOWED ME THAT I

REMEMBER PRAYING A LOT AND

SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM

AFTERWARDS BACK HOME IN SAN

ANTONIO, AND HE SAID DO IT THE

RIGHT WAY, LET'S DO IT THE

RIGHT WAY. I REMEMBER HAVING

THIS THOUGHT IN MY MIND, CAN I

STILL BE THE BEST, NUMBER ONE?

CAN I WIN ALL THESE THINGS AND

STILL FULLY BE INTEGRATED?

IS IN THAT INTERESTING, CAN

I DO IT SUCCESSFUL GOD'S WAY?

YOU HEARD THE WORD LET'S DO IT

THIS WAY. WHAT WAY IS THAT?

THE WORD WAS DO BOTH. AND I

REMEMBER GOING ALL RIGHT. AND I

HAD A BIG OLD TO BREAK THE

COMPANY RECORDS THE NEXT YEAR.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE HIM, I DID

THAT, I ENDED UP DOING THAT

FULLY DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

SO WHAT IS GOD'S WAY?

IT'S SERVANT SELLING,

PUTTING CUSTOMERS ' NEEDS,

THEIR COMFORTS, SOLVING THEIR

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PRODUCTS.

SO IT'S THEIR NEEDS, NOT

YOURS? THAT MUST HAVE BEEN

ROUGH WHEN YOU WANTED TO JUST

MAKE THE SALE?

TOTALLY BACK AND FORTH, LIKE

WHEN YOU ARE SITTING ON ZERO OR

YOU HAVEN'T MADE A SALE ALL

DAY, WEEK, ALL MONTH, THAT'S

WHEN IT CREEPS UP, AND YOU HAVE

TO FIGHT IT OFF, YOU PRAY AND

ARE THINKING GOOD THINGS , SO

ABSOLUTELY. STILL TO THIS DAY.

I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT

FOR PEOPLE IN BUSINESS. OVER

THE COURSE OF YOUR CAREER YOU

HAVE BEEN WILLING TO LOSE SALES

DOING IT GOD'S WAY.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. AND THAT'S

PUTTING THERE ABOUT WHAT THEY

WANT TO ACCOMPLISH FIRST,

THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE,

BECAUSE YOU ARE SERVING THEM.

WHY DOES THIS LEAD TO

SUCCESS? YOU HAVE BROKEN MANY

RECORDS. SO WHY DOES , WHY DO

GOD'S PRINCIPLES, YOU KNOW,

MAKE US SUCCESSFUL?

IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHENEVER

YOU ARE FOCUSED ON THESE

PRINCIPLES USE CELL BY

ACCIDENT, YOU FIND JOY, YOU

SUSTAIN MOTIVATION, BECAUSE YOU

ARE FOCUSED ON SERVING, SO

IT'S LIKE, I GET TO DO IT,

THIS IS MY CALLING.

DECADES LATER YOU TRACKED

DOWN THIS FAMILY. THIS DID

STICK WITH YOU. YOU WENT

THROUGH THE EFFORT OF FINDING

THEM FOR WHAT REASON?

IT WAS UNCOMFORTABLE, TOO.

IT WAS ONE OF THE CRAZIEST

CALLS I'VE MADE. GOD MADE IT

SO EASY. I HAD THIS THOUGHT I

NEED TO CALL THIS FAMILY, I

NEED TO CALL BRIAN AND BEVERLY.

I GOOGLED REALLY QUICK , BOOM,

THERE IS HIS NUMBER. AND OH NO.

THERE IT IS. [ LAUGHTER ] O

LORD. AND THE VOICE STARTS IN,

THE DEVIL CAUGHT ME, LIKE YOU

DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. IT WAS

INTENSE, NO, DON'T MAKE THAT

CALL. I WAS LIKE WELL, I KNOW

WHAT TO DO. MY TRAINING, DO IT.

AND THIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE ON

THE OTHER END, SO CARING, WE

SET UP A FACE TO FACE CALL THAT

EVENING. I SPOKE TO THE FAMILY

AND GOT THEM ON THE PHONE. OH

MAN, I SAID CAN I READ YOU

SOMETHING? I READ THEM THE

FIRST COUPLE PAGES OF THE BOOK

ABOUT TELLING THEIR STORY, AND

THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE

IN AWE, LISTENING, AND I BROKE

DOWN , I STARTED CRYING

INTENSELY, AND I DID THAT, I

SAID I'M SO SORRY.

IT'S INTERESTING, A LOT OF

THE PRINCIPLES IN YOUR BOOK

HELP PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIPS,

YOUR BUSINESS IS ABOUT

RELATIONSHIPS, ALTON

ULTIMATELY. YOU HAVE THREE

KIDS, YOU MADE THIS CONNECTION

OVER EFFICIENCY, HOW IS THAT

GOOD, FOR A PARENT? CONNECTION

OVER EFFICIENCY?

IT'S A LIFELONG JOURNEY FOR

ME, AND MY WIFE REMINDS ME ALL

THE TIME , WHAT WE HAVE TO DO,

AND SHE'S LIKE JUST SETTLE

DOWN, THEY ARE HAVING A HARD

MORNING FOR WHATEVER REASON,

HUG, BRING THEM IN, CONNECTION

OVER EFFICIENCY, AS HARD AS IT

IS, IT CAN HELP YOU IN EVERY

PART OF LIFE AND SALES.

THE TASK ISN'T AS GOOD AS

THE CONNECTION WITH PEOPLE?

AMEN. YES, SIR.

SO I KNOW WHAT YOUR FAVORITE

BOOK I BELIEVE IT'S BY A

FAMOUS DOCTOR. IT'S A FAMOUS

LEADER AND DR. BY THE NAME OF

DR. SEUSS, RIGHT?

ONE OF THE BEST WRITERS

EVER. GREEN EGGS AND HAM IS MY

FAVORITE, YES. EVERY TIME

PEOPLE ASK ME, THEY ARE LIKE

WHAT BOOK DO YOU RECOMMEND? I

GET THEM LISTENING, IF YOU

TAKE NOTES, GREEN EGGS AND HAM

ABSOLUTELY. IT HAS ALL THE

SALES PRINCIPLES IN THERE, AND

IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE

BOOK THIS GUY IS GETTING BEAT

UP LEFT AND RIGHT . THERE ARE

LINES BLOWING BY HIS FACE, AND

HE HAS THIS BEAUTIFUL SMILE ON

HIS FACE LIKE I CAN TAKE IT.

BUT IT'S ALL GOOD. I'M GOING TO

GET YOU, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS

GOING TO BENEFIT YOU, YOU ARE

GOING TO LIKE THIS, AND THAT IS

ULTIMATELY THE KEY.

PERSISTENCE. THAT IS THE

BIGGEST THING HE TAUGHT ME.

WHAT IS THIS IDEA, YOU

COINED THIS PHRASE, I HAVE TO

READ IT AGAIN. YOU SAY IT LIKE

WDFLY, WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL

LIKE IT, SO MUCH OF LIFE IS

THAT, WORKING OUT, EATING

RIGHT, GOING NEXT-DOOR. WOULD

FLY .

AS I UNDERSTAND, YOU'VE MADE

ABOUT 200,000 COLD CALLS TO

MARK AND BY THE TIME, YOU HAD

KNOCKED ON 50,000 DOORS.

THAT BEAUTIFUL SOUTHWESTERN

ADVANTAGE GAVE ME THAT START.

I LEARNED VERY EARLY ON.

150,000 VISITS AND CALLS

COMBINED,

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANY

OF THEM, LET'S BE HONEST.

SERVANT SELLING SHOWS UP IN

EVERYDAY LIFE. YOU DON'T WANT

TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS

WITH YOUR FRIENDS, OR KIDS.

THESE PRINCIPLES CAN HELP YOU

IN EVERY PIECE OF LIFE,

WHETHER IT IS TALKING SOMEONE

OFF A LETTER HELPING SOMEBODY

SEE SOMETHING THEY NEED TO SEE

IT IS COMMUNICATION.

MOVING FORWARD, MAYBE WE

SHOULD BE DOING IT.

YES SIR.

FOR SOMEONE IN SALES, AND

THEY WANT THIS SERVANT

MINDSET, WHAT WOULD YOU SEE

THEY TAKE FROM THIS

DISCUSSION?

ENTHUSIASM, BRING JOY TO

WHAT YOU'RE DOING, PEOPLE ARE

ATTRACTED TO THAT. JUST

WHATEVER YOU DO, IF YOU ARE

THINKING ABOUT THEM, IF YOU ARE

FOCUSED ON SERVING YOU FIND

JOY AND OVERCOME FEAR. YOU

ALMOST INSPIRE GREATNESS. YOU

ARE LOOKING TO HELP AND BE

DOING GOOD FOR THE WORLD.

NATURALLY THAT IS CONTAGIOUS.

IT CAN SHOW UP AT EVERY

BUSINESS AND SALES TRANSACTION.

IF YOU GET TO KNOW THAT PERSON

WELL ENOUGH , YOU SPEND TIME

ASKING QUESTIONS, LEARNING

THEIR NEEDS, THEN YOU CAN

FULFILL THEM OR CAN'T. IF YOU

CAN'T YOU STILL LOVED THEM,

WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

THING.

TRUSTING GOD'S WAYS, AND

HIS PRINCIPLES IS ANOTHER ONE,

RIGHT?

ABSOLUTELY.

> WE HAVE GOT SOME TIME FOR

EMAIL, ENTER. THIS ONE COMES IN

FROM BRETT. HE IS SAYING I

STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION FROM A

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AFTER A

CAR ACCIDENT IN 2002. I WAS

BROUGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL DEAD

ON ARRIVAL AND IN A COMA FOR

THREE WEEKS. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO

TAKE MY OWN LIFE SEVERAL TIMES.

I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH MY

FAITH AND MY DEPRESSION. I'VE

ATTEMPTED TO TAKE MY OWN LIFE

MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. IS

THERE A POINT WHERE GOD WILL

GIVE UP ON ME?

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND

THANK YOU FOR ASKING. GOD WILL

NOT GIVE UP ON YOU. I THINK YOU

HAVE PROBABLY HEARD THIS

BEFORE, I HOPE YOU ARE

LISTENING TO THE RIGHT CHOICES.

GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU.

YOU ARE IN THIS HORRIBLE

ACCIDENT. THESE TRAUMATIC BRAIN

INJURIES CAUSED DAMAGE, AND

THEY LINGER WITH US, THEY

AFFECT US EMOTIONALLY AND

MENTALLY. I HOPE YOU ARE IN

PASTORAL COUNSELING OR THERAPY

TO DISCUSS THESE FEELINGS WITH

SOMEONE. THERE IS GREAT VALUE

IN THAT, AND REALIZE AGAIN THAT

GOD'S FAITHFULNESS TO US

ENDURES. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE

US. HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE US. I

THINK IN THESE TIMES IT'S

HELPFUL TO REALIZE YOU

SURVIVED, YOU WERE DEAD ON

ARRIVAL, YOU CAME OUT OF THE

COMA, UNFORTUNATELY YOU'VE

TRIED TO END YOUR LIFE AND

SURVIVED. GOD HAS A PLAN FOR

YOU, AND, BRETT, THAT PLAN MAY

BE INFLUENCING OTHERS WITH YOUR

TESTIMONY AND YOUR WITNESS FOR

HIM. GOD CAN USE YOU. WHEN YOU

ARE STRUGGLING, READ THE

PSALMS, HE WILL HEAR DAVID POUR

OUT HIS HEART AND HIS HEARTACHE

AND HOW GOD RESPONDS. ALSO LOOK

AT THE LIVES OF PETER , WHO

DENIED HIS SAVIOR, HIS FRIEND.

HE DENIED JESUS. DID JESUS

GIVE UP ON PETER? NO. PAUL WAS

MURDERING PEOPLE OF THE WAY,

OR CHRISTIANS, AS SAUL. SAUL

BECAME PAUL, AND HE USED HIM

MIGHTILY IN HIS LIFE. WE HAVE

LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT THE LORD

FROM THE LIVES OF THESE MEN.

GOD HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON YOU,

AND HE WILL NOT. FATHER, I

JUST WANT TO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO

ARE STRUGGLING WITH NOT FEELING

VALUABLE AND NOT FEELING HOPE.

GOD LET YOUR HOLY SPIRIT BRING

LIGHT TO DARK PLACES TODAY, I

THINK THAT IS THE WORD FROM

GOD. HE IS BRINGING LIGHT TO

DARK PLACES. THANK YOU, JESUS

FOR YOUR LOVE FOR US. IN JESUS

NAME WE PRAY. PSALM 9, THOSE

WHO KNOW YOUR NAME TRUST IN YOU

FOR YOU, LORD, DO NOT ABANDON

THOSE WHO SEARCH FOR YOU.
