> HEY, EVERYONE, WELCOME TO

THE 700 CLUB. A LITTLE BIT OF

A BALL LAST NIGHT IN THE GOP

DEBATE AS CONTENDERS TOOK SHOTS

AT EACH OTHER. VIVEK RAMASWAMY

CAME OUT SWINGING, OPPONENTS

WERE QUICK TO PUNCH BACK AT THE

ROOKIE.

CHRIS CHRISTIE CALLED VIVEK

RAMASWAMY A ROOKIE AND

COMPARED HIM TO FORMER

PRESIDENT OBAMA. ABIGAIL

ROBERTSON REPORTS ON ALL THE

FIREWORKS IN MILWAUKEE.

Reporter: THE 2024 GOP

PRIMARY NOW OFFICIALLY FEELS

UNDER WAY , AND THAT EIGHT

CANDIDATES ON STAGE HOPE THAT

ENERGY FROM THE FIRST DEBATE

WILL THROW ON MUCH-NEEDED

MOMENTUM ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

AS OUR PRESIDENT WE WILL GET

THE JOB DONE, AND I WILL NOT

LET YOU DOWN.

IN THE DEBATE ON FOX NEWS

VIVEK RAMASWAMY MADE THE CASE

IT'S TIME FOR A FRESH FACE IN

WASHINGTON.

IF YOU HAVE A BROKEN CAR YOU

DON'T TURN OVER THE KEYS TO THE

PEOPLE WHO BROKE IT AGAIN, YOU

HAND IT TO A NEW GENERATION TO

ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.

SEASONED POLITICIANS CAME

READY TO SPAR WITH THEIR RISING

LYRICAL NEWCOMER.

YOU HAVE NO FOREIGN POLICY

EXPERIENCE, AND IT SHOWS.

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING. WE DON'T

NEED TO BRING IN A ROOKIE, WHO

SAID WHAT IS US GETTING GUY ,

THE LAST SKINNY GUY UP HERE WAS

BARACK OBAMA, AND I'M AFRAID

WE ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME

AMATEUR.

THEY DEBATED ON WHETHER OR

NOT THERE SHOULD BE A FEDERAL

ABORTION BAN.

WE WILL NEED A PRESIDENT WHO

WILL FIGHT FOR A 15 WEEK

LIMIT.

OR LEAVE IT UP TO THE

STATES.

ON THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT

CAN BAN ABORTIONS ANY MORE THAN

A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT COULD

BAN THE STATE LAWS. DON'T MAKE

WOMEN DECIDE ON THIS ISSUE WHEN

YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE 60

SENATE VOTES IN THE BLOOD.

70% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

SUPPORT LEGISLATION TO BAN

ABORTION.

BUT THAT PERCENTAGE OF THE

SENATE DOES NOT.

AND THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO COMMENT ON THE ELEPHANT NOT

IN THE ROOM.

WE CANNOT WIN A GENERAL

ELECTION THAT WAY.

THE MODERATOR HAD TO

DISPENSE THE CROWD BOOING AFTER

CHRIS CHRISTIE SAID WHAT TRUMP

DID WAS WRONG. IF ASKED WHEN

IF MIXED SIGNAL FROM KRISTI.

I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT

SOMEBODY HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF

A SERIOUS FELONY, OR WHO HAS

DISQUALIFIED UNDER OUR

CONSTITUTION, AND THAT'S

CONSISTENT WITH RNC RULES.

RAMASWAMY ALSO STOOD OUT AS

THE ONLY CANDIDATE ON STAGE HE

DOESN'T SUPPORT SENDING MORE

MONEY TO HELP UKRAINE.

THIS IS DISASTROUS THAT WE

ARE PROTECTING AGAINST AN

INVASION ACROSS SOMEBODY ELSE'S

BORDER WHEN WE SHOULD USE THOSE

SAME MILITARY RESOURCES TO

PREVENT CROSSING OUR SOUTHERN

BORDER.

HE PUSHED MIKE PENCE TO

AGREE TO AS WELL.

MAKE A COMMITMENT, THE SAME

JUST ASSISTANCE THAT WAS --

I'VE ACTUALLY GIVEN

PARDONS. IF I'M PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT GIVE

FAIR CONSIDERATION.

MEANWHILE, ON X-- PRESIDENT

TRUMP AND TUCKER CARLSON HAD

MILLIONS TUNE INTO THEIR

COMPETING INTERVIEW THAT

COVERED EVERYTHING FROM TRUMP

OFFICE THOUGHTS ON JEFFREY

EPSTEIN'S SUICIDE TO IF AMERICA

IS HEADED FOR A CIVIL WAR.

SO DO YOU THINK IT'S

POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS OPEN

CONFLICT?

I DON'T KNOW , BECAUSE I

CAN SAY THIS, THERE'S A LEVEL

OF PASSION THAT I'VE NEVER

SEEN, THERE'S A LEVEL OF HATRED

THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN, AND

THAT'S PROBABLY A BAD

COMBINATION.

Reporter: THE DEBATE

AFTERGLOW ISN'T EXPECTED TO

LAST TOO LONG WITH NEWS

COVERAGE TURNING BACK TO THE

FRONTRUNNER AS TRUMP TURNS

HIMSELF IN LATER TODAY TO

ATLANTA'S FULTON COUNTY JAIL

FOR HIS MOST RECENT ENTICEMENT

INDICTMENT. HE IS EXPECTED TO

BE RELEASED ON A $200,000 BOND.

ABIGAIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST DAVID

BRODY JOINS US NOW. DAVID? WHAT

ARE YOUR IMPRESSIONS FROM LAST

NIGHT?

[ LAUGHTER ] GO TO IT. GOOD

NIGHT, EVERYBODY. I'M GOING TO

TAKE 12 1/2 MINUTES. YOU KNOW?

LET ME JUST GO ESOTERIC AND

30,000 AT THE BEGINNING. I

THOUGHT WHEN I SAW LAST NIGHT

WAS A PROXY WAR, GOING ON

INSIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

YOU HAD THE OLD MIKE PENCE AND

NIKKI HALEY TO A DEGREE, I

KNOW SHE'S 51, BUT SHE'S

CONSIDERED PART OF THAT

TRADITIONALIST OLD GUARD RONALD

REAGAN MENTALITY ON

FOREIGN-POLICY AND OTHERS.

FIGHTING, IF YOU WILL , AGAINST

THE UPSTART, THE 38-YEAR-OLD,

VIVEK RAMASWAMY , WHO WAS A

STAND-AND FOR TRUMP TO A

DEGREE. HE WAS CHAMPIONING A

LOT OF THE STUFF DONALD TRUMP

HAS BEEN CHAMPIONING. HE SAW

VITRIOL, ESPECIALLY WITH MIKE

PENCE. WE DON'T NORMALLY SEE

HIM LIKE THAT. I THINK THE

QUESTION NEEDS TO BE RAISED,

WHY WAS PENCE SO AGITATED,

CONSTANTLY GOING BACK AND FORTH

WITH SPECIFICALLY VIVEK

RAMASWAMY? HE SEES A PARTY THAT

IS GOING THE WAY HE DOES NOT

LIKE. I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE

CONTOUR OF WHAT WE SAW LAST

NIGHT. THAT'S WHY IT'S GETTING

THE BIG HEADLINES.

VIVEK RAMASWAMY AND CHRIS

CHRISTIE ARE VERY DIFFERENT

WHEN IT COMES TO TRUMP . WHAT

IS THE SUCCESSFUL ROUTE?

CLEARLY VIVEK RAMASWAMY HAS

THE MORE SUCCESSFUL PATH,

BECAUSE THE PARTY, PULL WISE

AND OTHERWISE, OR WITH TRUMP,

AND THEREFORE IF THEY ARE WITH

TRUMP ANY TIME VIVEK RAMASWAMY

SUPPORTS TRUMP AND ANYTHING HE

DOES HE'S GOING TO GET THE

APPLAUSE LINES. IF YOU NOTICED,

VIVEK RAMASWAMY, WHEN ASKED

FOR A SHOW OF HANDS, HE

WOULDN'T RAISE IT REALLY HIGH

ON WHETHER HE WOULD SUPPORT

TRUMP ON XYZ. HE WAS THE FIRST

ONE UP, THE HAND WAS VERY HIGH,

EVERYONE ELSE WAS LOOKING

AROUND, I GUESS I WAS SUPPORT

HIM IF HE'S CONVICTED OF A

FELONY. THEY WERE QUITE SURE.

BUT VIVEK WAS A STRONG. CHRIS

CHRISTIE, THIS IS PERSONAL FOR

CHRIS CHRISTIE. HE WAS PASSED

OVER FOR VICE PRESIDENT. DONALD

TRUMP AND HIM HAVE A LONG

HISTORY. IT WAS A FALLING OUT.

SO A LOT OF THIS IS PERSONAL.

THIS WAS OPPORTUNITY FOR

RON DeSANTIS TO SHINE. I DON'T

THINK HE REALLY MOVED THE

NEEDLE. HE WASN'T EVEN REALLY

ATTACKED MUCH. MAYBE THEY

DON'T SEE HIM AS A THREAT.

WHERE IS HE?

I THINK THAT IS A VERY

ASTUTE OBSERVATION. THE FACT HE

WASN'T THE CENTER OF ATTACKS

SUGGESTS TO ME AT LEAST THAT

MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BIGGEST

FACTOR WE THOUGHT ALL ALONG.

HE HAD A MARGINAL OKAY DEBATE,

BUT MARGINAL AND OKAY AIN'T

GOING TO DO IT FOR DeSANTIS. HE

NEEDS SOMETHING BIGGER AND

BETTER. THE OTHER PROBLEM FOR

DeSANTIS, HE'S TRYING TO BE

TOO CUTE BY HALF. NOT

ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON UKRAINE

AID, WOULD YOU CUT OFF FUNDING?

VIVEK RAMASWAMY, YEAH I AM.

DeSANTIS, THE HAND GOES UP,

GOES DOWN, IT IS A WAFFLE

ANSWER. AND SO HE HAD MOMENTS.

BUT IT WAS FEW AND FAR IN

BETWEEN, NOT ENOUGH TO MOVE THE

NEEDLE.

WHAT ABOUT TIM SCOTT AND

NIKKI HALEY AFTER LAST EVENING?

DID IT GENERATE MORE BUZZ?

IT DEPENDS. I THINK NIKKI

HALEY HAD A GOOD DEBATE, NO

DOUBT. TIM SCOTT WAS FINE, TOO.

TIM SCOTT WAS MOSTLY IN THE

BACKGROUND, KIND OF LIKE THE

OLDER STATESMEN TYPE GUY. HE'S

BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE NOW.

SO, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOOD, BUT

HE DIDN'T STAND OUT, AND I

THINK IN THIS CROWD YOU HAVE TO

STAND UP. AS FOR NIKKI HALEY

SHE HAD SOME GOOD ONE-LINERS

ABOUT HOW IT TAKES A WOMAN TO

GET THINGS DONE, AND ALL OF

THAT. ALTHOUGH SHE DEFINITELY

HEARD VP CHANCES WHEN SHE SAID

DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST

DISLIKED OUT THERE IN AMERICA,

THERE WENT HEARD VP CHANCES.

BUT SHE HAD A GOOD DEBATE AS

WELL.

BEFORE WE GET TO TRUMP ,

DOUG BURGUM, AND ASA

HUTCHINSON, HOW LONG ARE THEY

GOING TO HANG AROUND?

WELL , CAN WE HAVE SOME

SILENCE FOR FIVE SECONDS? I

DON'T KNOW. HONESTLY THEY WANT

TO RAISE THEIR PROFILE. THEY

ARE A FORMER , ANYHOW, THEY'RE

BOTH GOVERNORS. THE POINT

SIMPLY IS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

SOME SORT OF FUTURE IN SOME

SORT OF ADMINISTRATION GOING

FORWARD, OR THEY FEEL THEY ARE

DOING THIS FOR PERSONAL REASONS

TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO WRITE

A WRONG IN THIS COUNTRY.

FINALLY, DONALD TRUMP. WHAT

DO YOU THINK HE THOUGHT ?

YOU MAY NOT WANT MY TRUE

ANSWER , BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE

TO SAY BAD WORDS, ANDREW.

OBVIOUSLY HE THINKS THEY ARE

PLAYING FOR SECOND PLACE. I

DON'T THINK THEY ARE EVEN

PLAYING FOR VICE PRESIDENTIAL

CANDIDATE. I'M NOT SURE ANYBODY

ON THAT STAGE IS SOMEONE HE'S

GOING TO PICK. HAVING SAID

THAT, YOU KNOW, HE IS OVER ON

X, WITH TUCKER CARLSON, DOING

164 MILLION VIEWS. THAT

DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE IS

WATCHING THE WHOLE INTERVIEW,

BUT HE DIDN'T NEED THE DEBATE.

EVEN THOUGH DONALD TRUMP WASN'T

AT THE DEBATE HE REALLY WAS,

IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HE WAS

IN THE CROWD. HE WAS DEFINITELY

IN THE HEADS OF MANY OF THOSE

CANDIDATES, BUT HE WAS IN THE

CROWD WHEN THE CROWD WOULD BOO

AGAINST CHRIS CHRISTIE, OR MIKE

PENCE, SOMETIMES AGAINST NIKKI

HALEY. TRUMP WAS REPRESENTED IN

THE CROWD, AND I THINK THIS IS

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

WHERE THE BASE OF THE PARTY IS

RIGHT NOW.

BRETT BAER CALLED HIM THE

AND WHERE WE GO FROM HERE.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT

BIND US TOGETHER.

TOMORROW ON THE 700 CLUB.

> STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

> EVERS OF THE US MILITARY

ARE CONSTANTLY TRAINING TO

MAINTAIN READINESS AS A

FIGHTING FORCE. NOW THE

PENTAGON IS ADDRESSING A NEW

NEED IN OUR ARMED FORCES. WHAT

ONE LEADER CALLS SPIRITUAL

READINESS. NATIONAL SECURITY

CORRESPONDENT CAITLIN BURKE

EXPLORES THE GROWING DEMAND FOR

CHAPLAINS.

Reporter: FOR THE FIRST

TIME SINCE THE COLD WAR THE

NAVY IS EXPANDING ITS CHAPLAIN

CORPS. THIS YEAR ALONE THE GOAL

IS TO FILL 70 ACTIVE-DUTY

SLOTS. IT'S A NUMBER THAT WOULD

PLACE ONE CHAPLAIN ON BOARD

EVERY DESTROYER.

A LOT OF THE BAD BEHAVIORS,

A LOT OF THE EVIDENCES OF

STRESS, ARE REDUCED ON SHIPS,

IN UNITS THAT HAVE CHAPLAINS.

ADMIRAL GREGORY TODD SERVES

A POSITION THAT ALSO COVERS

THE MARINE CORPS AND COAST

GUARD. TODD HAS WORKED AS A

CHAPLAIN IN ALL THREE BRANCHES.

HE'S RESPONDED TO GROUND ZERO

AFTER 9/11, AND DEPLOYING TO

BOTH IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

THE FUNNY THING ABOUT BEING

A CHAPLAIN IS THE MOST

SATISFYING MOMENTS ARE IN SOME

OF THE MOST CHALLENGING TIMES ,

BECAUSE WE ARE THERE TO BRING

GOT INTO THE SITUATION.

WITH GOING MENTAL HEALTH

ISSUES THREATENING SERVICE

MEMBERS ACROSS THE BOARD TODD

SAYS CHAPLAINS CAN BE THE TIP

OF THE SPEAR.

WE OFTEN BECOME FIRST

RESPONDERS FOR THEM AS THEY

EXPERIENCED SOME OF THESE

STRESS ISSUES. SOME OF THEM ARE

NORMAL STRESSORS OF LIFE, AND

WE CAN HELP THEM AND NORMALIZE

THOSE THINGS. WE ALSO WORK WITH

OUR PARTNERS IN THE MENTAL

HEALTH WORLD WHEN SOMETHING

BECOMES A LOT MORE SERIOUS

THAN JUST A NORMAL STRESSOR.

ACCORDING TO RESEARCH FROM

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, 50 TO 80%

LESS LIKELY TO DIE BY SUICIDE,

AND 60% LESS LIKELY TO SUFFER

DEPRESSION. TODD SAYS THE

PENTAGON DECISION TO GROW THE

CHAPLAIN CORPS AS PART OF AN

EFFORT TO BETTER CARE FOR

PEOPLE. A NEW EMPHASIS ON WHAT

HE CALLS SPIRITUAL READINESS.

NOW IT'S UP TO HIM TO FILL THE

VACANCIES, AND HE'S COUNTING ON

A NEW GENERATION TO ANSWER THE

CALL. A CHAPLAIN AT UNIVERSITY

THE TENANT COMMANDER BURLESON

SAYS GOD PUT MILITARY

MINISTRY ON HIS HEART.

WHEN I LOOKED AT THE MEN AND

WOMEN IN UNIFORM AND PEOPLE

COMMITTING THEIR LIVES TO

SOMETHING GREATER , SOMETHING

GREATER THAN THEMSELVES. THE

CONSTITUTION THEY WERE

UPHOLDING AND DEFENDING OUR

INALIENABLE RIGHTS.

NAV CHAPLAIN ON THE USS

MAKE AN ISLAND, WHILE HIS HE

HEARS HER SIMILAR IN AGE TO THE

COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH WHOM HE

ONCE WORKED THE JOB

RESPONSIBILITIES LOOK QUITE

DIFFERENT

WE ARE EMBEDDED WITH OUR

SAILORS, OR MARINES, ARCOS

CARDS, WHEN WE SEE ALL THE

SERVICES , WHEREVER THEY ARE

AT. ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OR

PACIFIC, YOU KNOW, WITH THE

MARINES IN A DESERT .

I WOULD SAY MY JOB IS TO

HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS AS YOU

DO YOUR JOB, BUT THE REALITY IS

YOU ARE THERE TO SPEND TIME TO

TELL STORIES, TO GO TO THE

MOTOR POOL, TO BE THERE. AND IN

THAT LIFE CONNECTION ,

TRANSFORMATION BEGINS TO TAKE

PLACE. SOMEBODY NEEDS TIME,

THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS YES.

AFTER YEARS DEPLOYING WITH

SOLDIERS, HE NOW SERVES AS A

RECRUITER FOR THE CHAPLAINCY

AT FORT JACKSON. AS THE BRANCH

WITH THE LARGEST CHAPLAINCY

CORE, THEY ARE LOOKING TO

MAINTAIN.

WE ARE LOOKING AT RECRUITING

THE BEST, LOOKING AT ABOUT 300

EACH YEAR BUT WHEN YOU THINK

ABOUT ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS,

IT IS HARD TO FIND THE BEST

QUALIFIED TO CONTINUE TO

SERVE.

CHAPLAINS ARE REQUIRED TO

MAKE THE SAME AGE AND PHYSICAL

FITNESS STANDARDS AS ANY OTHER

SERVICEMEMBER. PLUS, THERE IS

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WHICH

INCLUDE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE, A

MASTERS IN DIVINITY OR SOME

AREA OF RELIGION, AND THEN

PROFESSIONAL MINISTRY

EXPERIENCE.

SOLDIERS GIVE UP AN AWFUL

LOT, BUT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO

GIVE UP THEIR FAITH, SO WE WANT

THE BEST QUALIFIED CHAPLAINS OF

ALL DIFFERENT FAITH GROUPS.

MICHAEL IS A CANDIDATE, WHO

FELT CALLED TO MINISTER TO

SOLDIERS AFTER HIS OWN MILITARY

SERVICE DID AS HE GOES THROUGH

THE PROGRAM IS LEARNING TO VIEW

THE MEN AND WOMEN HE SERVES

ALONGSIDE A MUCH DIFFERENT

LIGHT.

IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT ROLE,

AND AS I'M LEARNING THINGS IN

SEMINARY AND ABOUT MINISTRY

IT'S LIKE DOING SOMETHING

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. DRAWING

ON THAT EXPERIENCE WHILE STILL

GETTING USED TO THE NEW LENS OF

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHAPLAIN.

THREE DECADES INTO HIS

CAREER ADMIRAL TODD CALLS

CARING FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN OF

THE ARMED SERVICES A SACRED

I SAID OKAY, LORD, I WILL DO

THIS FOR FOUR YEARS. I WILL DO

ONE TOUR , AND IT'S BEEN OVER

30 YEARS AGO. THIS FLOCK HAS A

WAY OF GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN.

AND SO THEN THE PRAYER TURNED

TO I WILL DO THIS AS LONG AS

YOU NEED ME TO DO THIS. I'M

HAPPY TO DO IT, BUT I CAN'T

DECIDE WHEN TO GO HOME. YOU

HAVE TO TELL ME. SO I AM STILL

HERE. UNTIL THE NAVY SAYS OKAY

NOW YOU HAVE TO GO HOME. YOU

ARE TOO OLD, YOU HAVE TO GO

HOME NOW.

WHILE THE NAVY IS ASKING FOR

70 ADDITIONAL CHAPLAINS THEY

NOTE THE NEED FOR MORE

GROWTH. CAITLIN BURKE, CBN

NEWS, WASHINGTON.

THANK YOU, CAITLIN. I'M VERY

ENCOURAGED, THIS IS A GOOD NEWS

STORY, THE PENTAGON INVESTING

IN GREATER CHAPLAIN PRESENCE.

IF YOU WANT TO PRAY FOR OUR

MILITARY PRAY FOR THESE

CHAPLAINS AS WELL, NOT ONLY THE

CHAPLAINS WILL BE BROUGHT IN,

SCREEN AND TELL THEM PAT BOONE

SENT YOU.

> JEFF ALLEN HAS BEEN MAKING

PEOPLE LAUGH FOR MORE THAN 50

YEARS ONSTAGE BUT OFF-STAGE HIS

PERSONAL LIFE WAS NO LAUGHING

MATTER.

MEETING, JEFF ALLEN, HAS

BEEN MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH FOR

FIVE DECADES. HIS VIDEOS HAVE

SURPASSED OVER 400 MILLION

VIEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YET,

FOR YEARS, THIS STANDUP COMIC

WAS MISERABLE ON THE INSIDE. HE

STRUGGLED WITH ANGER,

SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND A MARRIAGE

THAT WAS ON THE BRINK OF

DIVORCE. UNTIL HE HAD AN

UNLIKELY ENCOUNTER THAT SET

HIM ON A DIFFERENT PATH. IN

HIS BOOK, "ARE WE THERE YET?

MY JOURNEY FROM A MESSED-UP TO

MEANINGFUL LIFE" JEFF SHARES

HIS JOURNEY FROM LIVING A

MESSED UP LIFE TO FINDING

MEANING AND PURPOSE .

JEFF JOINS US NOW. HIS

TESTIMONY ABOUT HIS LIFE IS

VERY SERIOUS. JEFF, WELCOME TO

THE 700 CLUB.

THOSE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

GRANDKIDS YOU SAW? THEY SAY

YOU CAN'T FOLLOW CHILDREN.

YOU HAVE HAD QUITE A LIFE.

THIS BOOK IS COMPELLING, YOU

ARE A HUMOROUS, FUNNY GUY, BUT

YOU HAD QUITE AN ANGER ISSUE OR

PROBLEM .

RAGE IS ANOTHER WORD FOR IT.

IT WAS INTERESTING. PEOPLE ,

WILL THE BOOK WAS MADE SOBER.

THE LIE THAT ALCOHOLICS TELL

THEMSELVES OR EVEN THEIR

SPOUSES TELL THEM, IF YOU QUIT

DRINKING EVERYTHING WILL BE

FINE. AND THE WHEELS CAME OFF.

I WAS SO CONFUSED. I STARTED

DRINKING AT 14. THEY SAY , I

DON'T KNOW IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT,

BUT IT CERTAINLY FELT TRUE IN

MY CASE THAT ALCOHOLIC'S DAYS

EMOTIONALLY IS WHEN THEY START

DRINKING. I CALLED IT MY

PERSONAL CRYOGENIC PROGRAM.

WHAT LED TO DRINKING AT 14?

IT WAS ALL AROUND ME. MY

PARENTS DIDN'T MIND . I THINK I

GOT REALLY DRUNK AT 14 , AND MY

FIRST DRUNK WAS MIGHT SISTER'S

WEDDING REALLY, AND I GOT AND

WAS IN BED. I COULDN'T GET OUT

OF BED, I WAS SO DRUNK. I THREW

UP ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I

REMEMBER KIND OF WAKING UP, MY

MOTHER WAS COMING IN TO CLEAN

THE UP, AND MY FATHER SAID IF

HE WANTS TO DRINK LIKE A MAN,

LET HIM SLEEP IN IT LIKE A MAN.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE

MESSAGE YOU GET, YOU KNOW?

IS YOUR DEBT PART OF THAT

REASON YOU ARE ANGRY?

I GUESS, YEAH. I THOUGHT IT

MODELED. ONE OF THE STORIES I

WRITE IN THE BOOK WAS , YOU

KNOW, I STOOD ON A STOOL IN NEW

JERSEY , I SCREAMED AT MY

WIFE, THEN SHE FELL TO HER

KNEES AND SOBBED. I PUT MY SON

TO BED THAT NIGHT. HE GOES YOU

WIN. YOU YELL, MOMMY CRIES,

YOU WIN. I GREW UP WITH THAT,

THE LOUDEST , AND YOU KNOW, MY

FATHER WASN'T PHYSICALLY

VIOLENT TO MY MOTHER, BUT HE

BELITTLED HER AND, YOU KNOW,

JAMES TALKS ABOUT THE TONGUE

BEING A SMALL PART OF THE

LARGER VESSEL, BUT YOU LESS

GOT OUT OF YOU BLESS GOD OUT

OF ONE SIDE AND CURSING WITH

THE OTHER. I INHERITED IT FOR

GOOD OR WORSE.

SOMEBODY WITH DRINKING AND

COCAINE , I IMAGINE COMEDY

MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST .

THEN I GOT MARRIED, AND

COINCIDENTLY I DOUBLED MY

INCOME THE FIRST YEAR I WAS

MARRIED. APPARENTLY I AM WIRED

FOR PANIC. INSPECTED YOUR

ANGER AND ADDICTION ISSUES COME

OUT IN YOUR COMPANY?

YEAH, I ALWAYS WORKED

INSIDE-OUT. IT WAS INTERESTING

TO ME. PEOPLE ASK WHAT CHANGED

AFTER BECOMING A BELIEVER. I

SAID IT WAS A DIFFERENT TONE .

I STILL WORKED INSIDE OUT, I

FOUND ANGST IN LIFE, BUT THERE

WAS, PEOPLE HAVE A SENSE. AND

THEY ARE AT THE END OF BEFORE I

GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS . I HAD

FEMALE CLUB OWNERS WHO

WOULDN'T HIRE ME, THE WAY I

TALKED ABOUT MY WIFE. TAMMY

WOULD COME OUT TO A SHOW AND

SHE WOULD LEAVE IN TEARS, YOU

MUST HATE ME. AND AGAIN, I WAS

ANGRY. MY MARRIAGE WAS FALLING

APART. EVERYTHING, BANKRUPT,

YOU KNOW, I FELT THE WEIGHT OF

THE WORLD. BUT THERE WAS THIS

APATHY ABOUT IT. I REMEMBER

TAMMY SHAKING ME ONE DAY JUST

GOING WE ARE LOSING

EVERYTHING, AND I GET THE

IMPRESSION YOU DON'T CARE AND I

SAY I DON'T. SHE GOES WHO SAYS

THAT ? SHE SAYS THAT AND I'M

LIKE I DON'T CARE. YOU WAKE UP

WITH THE BILLS, ALL OF IT. AND

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT

MATTERED. THAT'S WHERE THE

GERBIL STORY CAME FROM IN THE

BOOK.

I READ THE WHOLE BOOK,

WHICH ONE WAS THE GERBIL STORY?

I'M WATCHING A KID'S GERBIL

FOR HALF AN HOUR, TAMMY COMES

AROUND AND IS LIKE WAS WITH YOU

IN THE GERBIL? AND I GO LOOK AT

IT, STACKS STICKS ON ONE

SIDE, SPINS THE WHEEL, RINGS

STICKS BACK AND STACKS THEM

UP. I'M PROJECTING MY LIFE FOR

THE NEXT 15 YEARS, AND IF MAKE

A FEW BUCKS, WE BUY A FEW

THINGS, THEY WEAR OUT, WE TAKE

THEM TO THE LANDFILL, IT'S ALL

ABOUT STICKS. AND IF I GET

LUCKY AND GET A SITCOM DEAL AND

MAKE A DEAL WE GET NICER

STICKS, BUT THAT'S THEY THAT'S

ALL THEY ARE. WE GO TO VEGAS,

THAT'S OUR WHEEL, WE TAKE THE

KIDS TO DISNEYLAND, IF THAT'S

NOT A LIFE , IF THAT IS OUR

LIFE THE NEXT 20 YEARS I'M

CHECKING OUT. SHE SAID YOU

CHECKED OUT YEARS AGO.

HOW DID GOD CAPTURE YOUR

HEART,

THROUGH A BELIEVER WHO

TOOK THE WORDS OF JESUS

SERIOUSLY AND WENT OUT TO MAKE

DISCIPLES. HE WAS A

BUSINESSMAN, HE SOLD HIS

BUSINESS TO SOME FOREIGN

COMPANY AND MADE A LOT OF

MONEY, PILES OF MONEY. HE WAS

AN AVID GOLFER, AND HE COULD

GET ME ON AUGUSTA NATIONAL, SO

TELL ME GOD DOESN'T KNOW YOUR

HEART. IF I FOUND OUT HE WAS A

BORN AGAIN, I WOULDN'T HAVE

CARED. NOW , I WAS A VORACIOUS

READER. I'M SEARCHING. I'M

LOOKING. NEW AGE, BUDDHISM,

YOU KNOW, AND FINALLY I FIGURE

IF IT'S MONEY, I NEED TO MAKE

SOME MONEY. SO HERE'S THE SKY

THAT MADE MONEY. I'M ASKING HOW

DO YOU ACCUMULATE WEALTH? HE

SAYS YOU CAN HANDLE WHAT

LITTLE YOU HAVE. IT WOULD BE A

BURDEN TO YOU. I CAN GET MY

HEAD AROUND THAT. PEOPLE THINK

IF I JUST HAD A LOT OF MONEY.

SAYS SOMETHING LIKE IF , IN

ORDER TO ENJOY THE CREATION

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH THE ONE WHO CREATED IT. I

WAS LIKE WHERE DID YOU READ

THAT ? HE SAID IN THE BIBLE, IT

AND HE KEPT BRING IT UP. I

SAID STOP IT WITH THE BIBLE. HE

GOES WHAT YOU MEAN, I SAY WHO

READS THE BIBLE? GOD, GOD'S

WORD. SOME ATHEIST, I DON'T

BELIEVE IN GOD. AB IT'S A

GENERIC, BY THEN MAYBE I WAS

AGNOSTIC. HE GOES WHAT'S IN THE

BIBLE YOU DON'T THINK IS TRUE?

I GO I'VE NEVER READ IT. HE

GOES YOU NOT AN ATHEIST, YOU'RE

A MORON. I GO HOW SO? HE SAYS

THIS IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL

BOOK IN THE HISTORY OF THE

WORLD, AND YOU CAN'T CRACK IT

OPEN? IT'S LAZY AND MORONIC.

HE SAYS LOOK, JEFF, YOU'RE NOT

SMART ENOUGH TO BE AN ATHEIST,

HE KIND OF SHOVED ME INTO IT.

THIS GUY HAS SOMETHING COULD HE

SIGNED ME UP FOR SOME BIBLE

TAPES FROM A CHURCH IN TEXAS,

AND PASTOR TOM ELSON WHO HAS

BECOME A FRIEND SINCE, HE DID

A NICE BLURB FOR THE BOOK. I'M

PROUD TO CALL HIM A FRIEND.

ANYWAY, TAPES CAME A GOOD YEAR

, YEAR AND A HALF, AND HE NEVER

ONCE BROUGHT IT UP. HOW ARE

YOU AND TIM DOING? I WOULD SAY

NOT TOO GOOD. HE WOULD SAY WE

PRAY FOR YOUR MARRIAGE , I GO

WHY? HE SAYS WE THINK MARRIAGES

ORDAINED FROM GOD. YOU ARE PUT

THERE FOR A REASON, AND NOT

TO JUST CREATE LIFE AND LEAVE.

THOSE KIDS NEED TWO OF YOU. AND

ANYWAY THE TIME CAME WHERE

TAMMY GRABBED THE KIDS, THIS

WAS AFTER WE HAD DIVORCE

PAPERS FILLED OUT AND NOTARIZED

THAT WE WERE 10 MINUTES FROM

THE COURTHOUSE, FILING THEM,

AND SHE CHANGED HER MIND. WE

WENT HOME, AND I REMEMBER

SITTING THERE. SHE SAYS THIS IS

WRONG. I GOT YOUR OUT. IT

LOOKED. I LOVED HER, I REALLY

DID. I FELT I WAS DAMAGED

BEYOND REPAIR. SEVEN OR EIGHT

YEARS IN RECOVERY, I READ

EVERYTHING I COULD READ, I

WOULD STILL SMASH THINGS, BREAK

THINGS, AND ANYWAY, SHE, WE

WENT HOME, THEN SHE TAKES THE

KIDS FOR THE SUMMER, AND WE

HAVE ALL THESE TAPES, PILES.

ENVELOPES COLLECTING DUST

EVERYWHERE. AND SHE SAYS YOU

LISTEN TO THESE OR THROW THEM

OUT. SHE LEFT ME AND THE TAPES

AND ONE DAY I CRACKED WHEN

OPEN, IT WAS ECCLESIASTES, AND

WHEN I HEARD MEANINGLESS ALL

IN LIFE IS MEANINGLESS, THAT

WAS, I KNEW THAT, THAT WAS MY

CONCLUSION, NOTHING MATTERED .

I WAS A FULL-BLOWN NIHILIST,

NOTHING MATTERED, IT DIDN'T

MATTER. AND WHEN I HEARD THAT

COMING FROM A SERMON OUT OF THE

BIBLE I THOUGHT, THEN I HEARD

EYES NEVER GET ENOUGH OF

SEEING , AND THIS WAS WRITTEN

3000 YEARS AGO. I CAN'T BUY

ENOUGH STUFF, I CAN'T GET

ENOUGH, I KNEW IT WASN'T MONEY,

AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD DRIVE

TAMMY CRAZY. IT DIDN'T MATTER.

HONESTLY, IT'S JUST STICKS.

DID YOU FEEL GOD CALLING

YOU TO HIMSELF?

I HAD A FIT ONE NIGHT, I

HAD A 50 POUND BAG I WOULD BEAT

WHEN I HAD THESE FITS. YEARS

LATER, TAMMY TOLD ME THIS AND

IT BROKE MY HEART. SHE SAID

REMEMBER THAT BAG YOU USED TO

GO OUT AND HIT THE MARK I SAID

YEAH. WHO COULD FORGET THAT,

SHE SAID EVERY TIME YOU DO THAT

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HITTING ME.

I WAS JUST SO ANGRY, YOU KNOW?

I'M HITTING THIS BAG, I'M

HITTING IT, I'M JUST SCREAMING

, JUST FED UP, AND IT FALLS

OFF OF WHATEVER WAS HOLDING IT

APPEARED I PICK IT UP, AND I'M

THROWING IT , IT WAS 50

POUNDS, SO I GOT SIX TOSSES AND

I'M EXHAUSTED. I'M IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, SCREAMING

AT THE HEAVENS IN ARIZONA, JUST

SCREAMING WHY? OVER AND OVER

AGAIN, WHY? I JUST DIDN'T WANT

TO BE THIS WAY. AND ALL OF A

SUDDEN I'M TELLING YOU, I WALK

IN THE HOUSE, AND MY

FIVE-YEAR-OLD SON COMES OVER TO

ME , AND IT WAS A CREDIT TO ME

I GUESS, BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE

NEVER DONE THAT WHEN MY FATHER

WAS LIKE THAT. HE WOULD HAVE

PITCHED ME, BUT MY SON FELT

COMFORTABLE ENOUGH HE PUTS HIS

ARMS AROUND MY LEGS, I PICK

HIM UP, AND HE SAYS DAD, YOU

SCARE ME. AND I SAY I SCARE

MYSELF. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

THIS CALM CAME OVER ME . I

LOOKED AT TAMMY AND I SAID FOR

THE FIRST TIME I SAID TO HER

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

AND SHE SAID BS, GET OUT OF

HERE. YOU LIVE IN HOTELS, GO

GET OUT. I DON'T WANT YOU HERE

TONIGHT. I SAID I'M OKAY. HAVE

EVER SAID THAT TO YOU? MY

FATHER SAID IT TO MY MOTHER

OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MY BROTHER

SAID IT TO HIS WIFE OVER AND

OVER, AND I KNEW IT WOULD

HAPPEN AGAIN. I NEVER SAID IT

TO YOU, I NEVER TRIED TO MAKE

PROMISED IS TO YOU I COULDN'T

KEEP, BUT SOMETHING, AND I

BELIEVE THAT WAS THE NIGHT THE

HOLY SPIRIT CAME, AND REALLY

PUT ME THERE. MONTHS LATER

WHEN I GOT ON MY KNEES AND SAID

I'M YOURS, BUT THAT NIGHT,

SOMETHING CHANGED.

WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO

KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE HOLY

SPIRIT, WHAT THE LORD CAN DO TO

CHANGE A LIFE,

IT IS A NEW CANCER. JESUS

PROMISED THAT. I'LL GIVE YOU A

PERFECT EXAMPLE, IT'S NOT A

ROAD TO DAMASCUS MOMENT, MOST

PEOPLE FIND IT FUNNY, BUT TO ME

IT WAS PROFOUND. I'M DRIVING, I

AM A BELIEVER FOR MONTH, THE

CAR BREAKS DOWN, WHICH WAS A

PERFECT REASON FOR ME TO GET

ANGRY. I FINALLY HAD RIGHTEOUS

ANGER. HE DOESN'T GET ANGRY

WHEN THEIR CAR BREAKS DOWN TO

EVERYBODY IN THE CAR BRACES

THEMSELVES FOR THE TIRADE, AND

I LOOK AT TAMMY AND I GO, I

LOOK IN THE BACK, I TELL MY SON

I SAW A GAS STATION, LET'S GO

FIND A MECHANIC OR SOMETHING.

TAMMY GOES THAT'S IT? AND I

SAID IT DIDN'T , IT JUST HIT

ME, MECHANICS PRAY, TOO. I

FELT THERE WAS A MECHANIC ON

HIS KNEES GOING I NEED SOME

> PETER AND HIS BROTHER,

EMMANUEL, ARE VERY TWO RAVE

BOYS. THEIR FATHER WAS KILLED

AFTER HE CONVERTED FROM ISLAM

TO CHRISTIANITY. THE BROTHERS ,

ALSO CHRISTIANS, REFUSED TO

GIVE UP THEIR FATES, SO THEY

FLED FROM THEIR VILLAGE.

HERE'S HOW YOU HELPED TO

PROVIDE THEM WITH A SAFE HAVEN.

FOR A LONG TIME, PETER AND

HIS BROTHER, EMMANUEL, SEARCHED

FOR A PLACE OF REFUGE. THEY

GREW UP IN A MUSLIM FAMILY, AND

WHEN THEIR FATHER CONVERTED TO

CHRISTIANITY THEY TOO PUT THEIR

FAITH IN CHRIST. BUT IT CAME AT

A GREAT COST.

WHEN MY UNCLE AND MY FATHER

BECAME A CHRISTIAN THEY KILLED

HIM. AS CHRISTIANS WE KNEW

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO

HEAVEN, SO WE LEFT , BECAUSE WE

COULDN'T GO BACK TO ISLAM AFTER

WHAT HAPPENED.

WE WANT TO KNOW GOD BETTER.

THAT'S WHY WE LIVE.

I PRAY THAT IF GOD IS

CALLING ME TO FOLLOW HIM THAT

HE WILL PROTECT US AND GUIDE

AS I WILL SERVE HIM FOR THE

REST OF MY LIFE. WITH ALL THE

DANGERS ALONG THE WAY NOTHING

HAPPENED TO US.

SOMEONE TOLD HIM ABOUT

CHRISTIAN FAITH MINISTRIES,

WHICH IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY

CBN 'S ORPHAN'S PROMISE. HERE

THEY FOUND A HOME AND HAVE ALL

THEIR NEEDS PROVIDED AS THEY

ATTEND SCHOOL AND CONTINUE TO

GROW IN THEIR FAITH.

I REALLY BELIEVE GOD

GATHERED US HERE. BY GOD'S

GRACE AND GETTING A GOOD

EDUCATION. MY BROTHER AND I ,

IF HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND

SOMETHING, HE WILL COME TO ME

SO I CAN HELP HIM.

IN THEIR FREE TIME THEY

OFTEN PLAY PING-PONG AND OTHER

GAMES AND HAVE THE CHANCE TO

SIMPLY BE KIDS.

THIS IS A REFUGE FOR ME AND

MY BROTHER. NOT EVERYONE GETS

THE CHANCE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN

US. I LOVE IT HERE. I KNOW GOD

BETTER HERE THAN I DID BEFORE.

ON SUNDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS WE

ATTEND CHURCH. I ALWAYS PRAY

FOR MY FAMILY SO THEY WILL

BECOME CHRISTIANS AND FOLLOW

JESUS LIKE ME, TOO.

THE LEADERS HERE TAUGHT ME

ABOUT FORGIVENESS, IT'S NO

DIFFERENT THAN CARRYING A

HEAVY LOAD. I LOOK FORWARD TO

THE GOOD THINGS AHEAD. THANK

YOU FOR HELPING ME AND MY

BROTHER, AND FOR OUR

PROTECTION. WITHOUT YOU WE

WOULD NOT BE HERE MAY GOD

BLESS YOU AND PROVIDE YOU WITH

EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

WE ARE SO BLESSED IN

AMERICA WITH THE THINGS THAT WE

HAVE AVAILABLE TO US WITH THE

> PREPARE FOR THE WORST,

THAT'S WHAT THE DR. TOLD

JENNIFER SCOTT AFTER HER SON

WAS HIT BY A MINIVAN THAT WAS

TRAVELING 45 MILES AN HOUR.

BRENDAN WAS IN THE ICU WITH

BROKEN BONES AND INTERNAL

BLEEDING. HIS DOC SAID HIS

CONDITION WAS DESPERATE, BUT

HIS MOTHER ALREADY KNEW THAT

BRENDEN WAS A MIRACLE CHILD.

RURAL NATION, MICHIGAN, A

MINIVAN WAS PASSING A MOVING

COMBINE WHEN A SMALL FIGURE

APPEARED FROM NOWHERE.

WE BOTH HEARD THE TIRES

SCREECHING.

I TURNED AND LOOKED AND

BRENDEN WAS LAYING IN THE ROAD.

FIRST THOUGHT WAS FEAR. EXPECT

RICHARD AND JENNIFER SCOTT'S

9-YEAR-OLD SON WAS RUNNING

ACROSS THE STREET TO THE

NEIGHBORS WHEN THE MINIVAN HIT

HIM AT 45 MILES PER HOUR

KNOCKING HIM 75 FEET DOWN THE

ROAD.

HIS BODY LOOKED PRETTY

TWISTED.

THEY ARRIVED TO FIND HIS

EYES OPEN BUT UNRESPONSIVE, AND

BLOOD COMING FROM HIS EAR.

I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT HE

WAS ALREADY GONE.

JUST KEPT REMINDING

BRENDEN THAT GOD HAS HIM, MOM

AND DAD ARE RIGHT HERE, AND TO

KEEP FIGHTING. EXPECT GOD,

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY BABY.

THOSE WERE THE ONLY WORDS.

AFTER CALLING 911, JENNIFER

TEXTED HER CHURCH'S PRAYER

CHAIN WITH A SIMPLE MESSAGE.

PRAYERS BRENDEN. AS SOON AS

I HIT SEND THE COMMENTS

STARTED COMING IN, WE ARE

PRAYING , AND A CALM DID COME

OVER ME. I KNEW GOD WAS

WORKING.

BRENDEN WAS TAKEN TO

SPARROW HOSPITAL WITH BOTH

LEGS AND JAW BROKEN. HE ALSO

SUFFERED A PUNCTURED LUNG ,

RUPTURED SPLEEN, AND A BRAIN

HEMORRHAGE. EVEN IN THE MOST

LIFE-THREATENING CONCERN WAS

THE EXTENSIE BLEEDING FROM HIS

LIVER. DOCTORS STEPHEN GIRTON

WAS ONE OF SEVERAL DOCTORS ON

BRENDEN'S CASE.

HE WAS IN DESPERATE

CONDITION . THE ESSENTIAL THING

WAS TO GET TO THE OPERATING

ROOM, GET INTO HIS ABDOMEN,

AND TRY TO GET THE BLEEDING

STOPPED.

WITH HER SON IN SURGERY,

JENNIFER REFLECTED ON HOW AFTER

MANY YEARS OF PRAYING TO HAVE

CHILDREN SHE AND RICHARD

WELCOMED BRENDEN INTO THE

WORLD. NOW WITH TWO MORE BOYS

AND TWO ADOPTED GIRLS THEY ONCE

AGAIN LEANED ON THEIR FAITH IN

GOD AS THEIR FIRSTBORN FOUGHT

FOR HIS LIFE.

I WAS DEFINITELY SCARED. I

HAD TO RELY ON HIM FOR THE

STRENGTH.

I KNEW THAT BRENDEN WAS MY

MIRACLE CHILD WHEN I CONCEIVED

HIM. AND HE STILL HAS MIRACLES

IN HIM.

IN THE OR THE TEAM WAS STILL

TRYING TO STOP THE BLEEDING

WHEN BRENDEN'S HEART STOPPED.

HE ACTUALLY BLED TO DEATH IN

THE OPERATING ROOM. THERE WAS

NO MORE BLOOD IN HIS HEART. SO

WHAT THEY DID WAS THE SURGEON

LITERALLY TOOK THE HEART IN HIS

HANDS, AND AS THE HEART STARTED

TO FILL, HE STARTED SQUEEZING

IT.

BYE NOW, MORE PEOPLE JOINED

THE FAMILY IN PRAYER AS THAT

TEAM CONTINUE MASSAGING

BRENDEN'S HEART. ANY ATTEMPTS

AFTER 20 MINUTES WOULD LIKELY

BE FUTILE.

THE GOT TO THE 20 MINUTE

MARK OR SO PEOPLE STARTED TO

QUESTION, CAN WE REALLY GO

FURTHER, WILL IT HELP HIM TO GO

FURTHER? AND LITERALLY , RIGHT

AT THAT MOMENT, HIS HEART

STARTED AGAIN BY ITSELF ,

SPONTANEOUSLY.

IT WAS A WIN , BUT HIS LIVER

WAS STILL BLEEDING, AND DR.

GIRTON GAVE THE PARENTS LITTLE

HOPE.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF HE

COULD MAKE IT. AND HIS MOTHER

JUST LOOKED AT ME WITH THIS

CERTAINTY THAT I WAS SURPRISED

BY. AND SHE SAID NO, YOU'RE

WRONG. HE'S GOING TO LIVE.

I CAN LET MYSELF BELIEVE

ANYTHING BUT A MIRACLE WAS

ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

AND THE SCOTT'S SAY IT DID

AS DOCTORS WERE ABLE TO STOP

THE BLEEDING. NOW IN THE

PEDIATRIC ICU BRENDEN FACED

ANOTHER FIGHT . WITH EXTENSIVE

HEAD INJURIES DOCTORS FEARED HE

WOULD HAVE PERMANENT BRAIN

DAMAGE.

AND I SAID YOU MIGHT NOT

MAKE IT TO THE NEXT COUPLE

DAYS.

TO SEE HIM LAYING THERE

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE WAS JUST

REALLY HARD.

MEANWHILE PRAYERS CONTINUE

TO POUR IN FROM EVERYWHERE.

IF NOT FOR THE SUPPORT , I

DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD HAVE

MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST

NIGHT.

THE 9-YEAR-OLD MADE IT

THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND OVER THE

NEXT FEW CRITICAL DAYS THEY

WATCHED FOR POSITIVE

NEUROLOGICAL SIGNS. ON DAY

FIVE, BRANDON WOKE UP, NOT ONLY

ABLE TO RESPOND TO VERBAL

COMMANDS, BUT A SPECIAL TOUCH

FROM MOM.

HE'S NEVER LIKED TO HOLD MY

HAND LIKE THIS. IT'S ALWAYS--

WHENEVER I WOULD GRAB HIS HAND

AND HOLD ONTO IT, HE WOULD

SLOWLY, IT STARTED WITH THE

PINKY, AND EVENTUALLY HE JUST

WOULD LACE HIS FINGERS THROUGH

MINE, AND I JUST KNEW THAT HE

WAS TELLING ME MOM, I AM HERE.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THE

FACT HE WAS ALIVE, BUT ALSO THE

FACT THAT HE CLEARLY WAS WITH

IT. IT WAS AMAZING.

BRENDEN UNDERWENT A TOTAL OF

EIGHT SURGERIES DURING HIS FOUR

WEEK STAY IN THE HOSPITAL

BEFORE GOING TO REHAB. BUT IT

ONLY TOOK THREE WEEKS, NOT

SEVERAL MONTHS, AS DOCTORS

PREDICTED, FOR HIM TO GO HOME.

THEY ARE LIKE WE CANNOT

EXPLAIN THIS.

WITHIN A FEW MONTHS HE WAS

BACK TO RUNNING AROUND AND

RIDING HIS BIKE.

I KNEW IN MY HEART THAT GOD

WOULDN'T TAKE MY CHILD, BUT

EVEN I DIDN'T IMAGINE HE WOULD

FULLY RESTORE HIM.

HE REPRESENTS ONE OF THE

BEST EXAMPLES I CAN THINK OF IN

A LIFETIME OF DOING THIS.

OTHER THAN THE SCARS AND

MOMENTS OF BRIEF MEMORY LOSS

BRENDEN SHOWS NO LONG-TERM

EFFECTS OF HIS INJURIES.

BRENDEN'S FAMILY KNOWS HE'S A

WALKING MIRACLE AND A TESTAMENT

TO THE POWER OF PRAYER.

WHERE TWO OR MORE COME TO ME

IN MY NAME THE PRAYERS WILL BE

ANSWERED, AND WE HAD CALLOUS

NUMBERS OF PRAYERS COMING IN.

GOD ACTUALLY DOES MIRACLES.

THIS JUST PROVED THAT GOD

IS WILLING TO ANSWER IF YOU

ARE WILLING TO ASK.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STORY! I

MEAN, THAT WAS DEFINITELY A

MIRACULOUS RECOVERY . FROM

SOMETHING THAT BY MAN'S

STANDARDS SHOULDN'T HAVE

HAPPENED, BUT GOD SPECIALIZES

IN THE MIRACULOUS. THAT'S WHY

WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT STORY

BEFORE WE PRAYED TOGETHER.

BEFORE WE PRAY, THIS IS ED, HE

LIVES IN NEWARK, DELAWARE. HE

LIVED WITH DIZZINESS EVERY

SINGLE DAY, HE COULDN'T EVEN

WALK AROUND HIS HOUSE WITHOUT

NEEDING TO HOLD ONTO SOMETHING.

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF SUFFERING

WITH THE CONDITION ENTER, HE

HEARD YOU SAY SOMEONE HAS BEEN

BATTLING DIZZINESS. IN FACT

YOU'RE SITTING HERE WATCHING

THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE YOU NEED

TO SIT. WHEN YOU WALK YOU NEED

TO PUT YOUR HAND ON FURNITURE

TO STABILIZE HERSELF. THAT

DIZZINESS IS GOING AWAY NOW,

IN THE NAME OF JESUS. GOD WANTS

TO DO SOMETHING MIGHTY IN YOUR

LIFE. THANK YOU, LORD. ED SAID

THAT'S FOR ME. HE STARTED

PRAISING GOD AND FOUND HE COULD

WALK AROUND COMPLETELY STEADY

NO PROBLEM.

HALLELUJAH, AND THAT IS

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR

LETTING US KNOW. SHE SAID I

WAS LOOKING AT MY PHONE AND

DROPPED IT AS I CONTINUED TO

SAY GOD HAS HEARD MY PRAYERS

AND CONCERNS, AND EVERYONE OF

THEM IS BEING MET, BUT SHE SAID

IT WAS LIKE A BALL OF FIRE SENT

TO MY CHEST, AND I'M STILL ON

FIRE. I SAW THIS ON YOUTUBE.

I'M STILL SHAKING, THANK YOU

FOR YOUR MINISTRY. THANKS FOR

LETTING US KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S WONDERFUL

ABOUT THIS? SOMETIMES GOD

SPEAKS TO SOMEONE IN A PROGRAM

THAT IS AIRED AT A LATER DATE.

WHEN GOD WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU

, TIME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

IT. HE IS IN CHARGE OF IT ALL

ANYWAY. SO TODAY WE WANT TO

TAKE SOME TIME TO PRAY WITH YOU

AND FOR YOU FOR THE CONCERNS IN

YOUR LIFE. LET'S DO THAT.

LORD GOD, YOU KNOW TERRY AND

I HAVE PRAYED BEFORE THIS

PROGRAM, WE WANT YOUR

ANOINTING ON THIS PROGRAM, WE

KNOW IS HERE, NOT BECAUSE OF

ANYTHING WE HAVE DONE THAT IS

SPECIAL, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE

SPECIAL AND MIGHTY AND

POWERFUL. SOMEBODY WITH

TERRIBLE MIGRAINES ON THE RIGHT

SIDE OF THEIR HEAD , AND YOU

JUST HAVE TROUBLE EVEN

FUNCTIONING DURING THE DAY, AND

RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE DETECTING

THEY ARE GOING AWAY , IN THE

NAME OF JESUS, THOSE INTENSE

MIGRAINES ARE DISSIPATING AND

GOING AWAY. THERE IS SOMEBODY

ELSE WHO IS A SINGULAR , I

THINK YOU ARE A SINGULAR OF

SOME ACCLAIM AS WELL, YOU ARE

WELL KNOWN , AND BECAUSE OF A

VOCAL CORD PROBLEM YOU

LITERALLY CANNOT SING, AND

IT'S BROKEN YOUR HEART, AND

THAT ABILITY IS BEING RESTORED

RIGHT NOW IN JESUS NAME. A

HEALING IS OCCURRING IN YOUR

VOCAL CORDS. IS GOING TO USE

YOU NOW FOR HIS GLORY.

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE BEEN

STRUCK WITH A POLICY THAT HAS

AFFECTED THE WAY YOU CAN

PRONOUNCE SOME THINGS WHEN YOU

SPEAK. IT MAY LEAVE YOU

FEELING ISOLATED AND SEXUALLY

RESTORING AND ACTUALLY

RESTORING IT.

IT IS UNUSUAL SOMEONE IS, I

HAVE, SOMEONE HAS A BOOT ON

FOR THERAPY, OR BROKEN LEG OR

SOMETHING, AND YOU HAVE BEEN

FEELING LIKE GOD HAS NOT HEARD

YOU, AND YOU DECIDED TO STOP

PRAYING ABOUT IT, AND GOD TELLS

YOU RIGHT NOW, HE HEARS YOU,

AND HE'S ANSWERING. AND THAT

WORD IS FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE

GOING TO RECOGNIZE WITHOUT A

DOUBT .

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE

NEUROPATHY IN YOUR HANDS, NOT

JUST A TINGLING, BUT NOW IT IS

SORT OF A NUMBNESS IN YOUR

FINGERS, AND YOU WILL FEEL THAT

TINGLING COME BACK AS GOD

RESTORES THAT TOUCH TO YOU,

YOUR ABILITY TO FEEL.

AND WATCHING THIS PROGRAM

WITH JEFF ALLEN EARLIER WHO

HAD RAGE ISSUE, BUT THIS MAN

HAS A RAGE ISSUE, BUT NOW HE'S

HEARTBROKEN AND JUST WEEPING,

BECAUSE HE HAS WRECKED HIS

LIFE. GOD SEES YOU, HE HEARS

YOU, AND HE'S GOING TO REBUILD

FOR YOU. IT'S GOING TO BE A

SLOW PROCESS, BUT HE HAS YOU IN

HIS HAND, AND THAT RAGE AND

ANGER IS GOING TO GO AWAY,

BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING

SUPERNATURALLY TOUCHED BY THE

SPIRIT OF GOD IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

IN KEEPING WITH THAT WORD I

FEEL LIKE THERE ARE MANY OF YOU

WHO HAVE MADE SOME SERIOUS

MISTAKES, AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU

CAN'T COME BACK TO THE LORD,

LIKE YOU CAN'T EVER BE RESTORED

TO WHERE YOU WERE BEFORE,

BECAUSE YOU KNEW GOD, AND YOU

KNEW HIS WAY, AND HE WALKED

AWAY FROM IT. HE IS THE

REDEEMER. HE BUYS BACK THE

ENEMY HAS STOLEN AND GIVES YOU

A FRESH START AND A NEW

BEGINNING. IF THAT IS YOU

TODAY, JUST PURPOSE IN YOUR
