Blindsided at an intersection, a rideshare driver is T-boned by a reckless drunk. The high-speed collision sends a man to the ER, but see who heals him in the ICU as CBN’s “Week of Prayer†continues on The 700 Club.

WELL, WELCOME TO THE 700
CLUB FROM 2016 TO 2019.
TRANSGENDER SURGERIES NEARLY
TRIPLED IN THE US.
NEARLY 8% OF PATIENTS
RECEIVING TRANS MEDICAL CARE
WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF EIGHT.
IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT
EIGHT YEARS OLD TO 12 WHILE
STATES ACROSS COUNTRY ARE
RAISING LAWS RESTRICTING THINGS
LIKE SURGERY, PUBERTY BLOCKERS
AND HORMONES FOR KIDS.
BUT TRANS ACTIVISTS ARE
FIGHTING BACK AS CHARLENE ERIN
REPORTS THE NATION'S COURTS ARE
WEIGHING IN ON THE DEBATE OVER
TRANS OR CHALLENGING STATE BANS
ON GENDER AFFIRMING CARE IN
FEDERAL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
IF THESE COURTS REACH DIFFERENT
CONCLUSIONS, THE SUPREME COURT
MAY ULTIMATELY HAVE TO WEIGH IN
.
CHRISTY SISSON RECALLS THE
PAIN OF HER COLLEGE DAUGHTER'S
DECISION BECOME A MAN.
SHE STARTED TAKING
TESTOSTERONE AND WITHIN SIX
MONTHS HER VOICE HAD DROPPED.
SHE STARTED GROWING FACIAL
HAIR.
EVENTUALLY SHE CHOSE A DOUBLE
MASTECTOMY.
A NEW REPORT IN THE JOURNAL OF
THE AMERICAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION SHOWS TRANSGENDER
SURGERIES NEARLY IN THE U.S.
BETWEEN 2016 2019.
THE NUMBERS RISING FROM ABOUT
4500 TO AN ASTOUNDING 13,000.
RESEARCHERS ESTIMATE THOSE
NUMBERS MAY BE EVEN HIGHER AND
ALMOST 8% OF THOSE PATIENTS
WERE CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES
OF EIGHT AND 12 YEARS OLD.
19 YEAR OLD CHLOE COLE SAYS SHE
LIVED AS A TRANSGENDER BOY FOR
YEARS BEFORE RETURNING TO HER
FEMALE IDENTITY.
SHE TESTIFIED RECENTLY AT A
CONGRESSIONAL HEARING ON GENDER
CARE FOR CHILDREN.
THE GENDER SPECIALIST I WAS
TAKING TO TAKING TO SEA TOLD MY
PARENTS THAT I NEED TO BE PUT
ON PUBERTY BLOCKING RIGHT AWAY.
I ASKED MY PARENTS A SIMPLE
QUESTION WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE
A DEAD DAUGHTER OR A LIVING
TRANSGENDER SON?
A CHOICE WAS ENOUGH FOR MY
PARENTS TO LET THEIR GUARD DOWN
AFTER TAKING PUBERTY BLOCKERS
AND TESTOSTERONE.
CHLOE WHO IS SUING KAISER
PERMANENTE FOR PROVIDING GENDER
TRANSITIONING AND SURGERY WHEN
SHE WAS JUST 15 NOW LIVES WITH
REGRET.
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
SOMETIMES AND I FEEL LIKE A
MONSTER.
THE MEDICAL ARE PUSHING THIS
BECAUSE ONCE THE KIDS START
TAKING HORMONES THEY'RE ON THEM
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
SO THIS IS A BIG MONEY MAKER
FOR THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY.
MARY RICE HASSON AND POLICY
EXPERT AT THE ETHICS AND PUBLIC
POLICY CENTER.
PUTTING MINORS ON PUBERTY,
SUPPRESSING DRUGS AND THEN
PUTTING THEM ON CROSS WHAT ARE
CALLED CROSS-SEX HORMONES WHICH
ARE REALLY TOXIC HIGH DOSES OF
HORMONES OR ESTROGEN AND THEN
OFTENTIMES LEADING TOWARD
SURGERY.
AND WE KNOW THAT THIS MEANS
ONCE A KID GOES DOWN THIS PATH
THEY BECOME A MEDICAL CUSTOMER
FOR LIFE.
DESPITE THE TREND THERE IS A
GROWING RESISTANCE.
MORE THAN 20 REPUBLICAN LED
STATES HAVE ADOPTED LAWS
RESTRICTING CARE FOR
TRANSGENDER CHILDREN.
A MISSOURI LAW BANS TRANS
SURGERY FOR CHILDREN AND
PROHIBITS PRESCRIBING PUBERTY
OR HORMONES TO PATIENTS UNDER
18.
THAT'S ALSO THE LAW IN NORTH
CAROLINA WHERE GOP LAWMAKERS
OVERRODE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
ROY COOPER'S VETO OF SEVERAL
BILLS BANNING MEDICAL CARE FOR
TRANSGENDER MINORS.
I'M THANKFUL THAT THE
LEGISLATORS HERE IN NORTH
CAROLINA HAVE ACTED ON THEIR
CONSCIENCE AND HAVE DONE WHAT
THEY COULD PROTECT YOUTH FROM
THESE AWFUL DRUGS THAT ARE
BEING GIVEN TO CHILDREN.
THANKFULLY THE CONSERVATIVE
MAJORITY MADE IT HAPPEN IN
MISSOURI AND TEXAS.
JUDGES ALLOWED THE BAN TO GO
FORWARD WHILE AN ARKANSAS JUDGE
RULED AGAINST THE STATE'S
LEGISLATION BANNING GENDER
AFFIRMING HEALTH CARE FOR
MINORS.
WITH MANY OF THESE LAWS FACING
SUCH LAWSUITS AND HIGHER COURTS
DISAGREEING HASSON AND OTHER
LEGAL EXPERTS BELIEVE THE
SUPREME COURT WILL ULTIMATELY
NEED TO WEIGH IN.
SO EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE THOSE
STATES DOING THAT GOOD WORK WE
HAVE AN EQUAL OF STATES
UNFORTUNATELY THAT HAVE BECOME
VERY AGGRESSIVE WHERE THE
ATTORNEY GENERALS OR THE
ATTORNEYS GENERAL FROM THOSE
PARTICULAR STATES ARE SAYING
NO, WE THINK PARENTS SHOULD BE
ABLE TO CHOOSE THIS QUOTE
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE.
AND SO THEY'RE TRYING TO
WRAP IT UP IN PARENTAL RIGHTS.
SHE IS LOOKING FOR THE HIGH
COURT TO DECIDE IN THOSE STATES
FAVOR.
WHAT I'M THE SUPREME COURT
WILL DO WHEN THIS LANDS AGAIN
IN THEIR IS TO UNDERSCORE THE
REALITY OF SEX MALE OR FEMALE
IT'S DETERMINED AT CONCEPTION
IT CAN'T CHANGE THE PRESSURE TO
EVALUATE THE SCIENCE IS
BUILDING.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS HAS ASKED AN OUTSIDE
TO REVIEW THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE
FOR TRANSGENDER MEDICAL
TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN.
STILL, HASSON IS SUSPICIOUS
BECAUSE OF THE ACADEMY'S
CURRENT POLICY.
I'M NOT VERY CONFIDENT
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY FROM AT
SAME TIME THEY'RE SAYING GOING
TO DO THIS EVIDENCE REVIEW.
THEY CAME OUT AND THEY SAID
WELL WE'RE SUPPORTING THE THE
POLICY AS IS AND OUR PURPOSE IN
DOING THIS IS SO THAT WE CAN
PUSH BACK ON ANY LIMITS, ANY
ATTEMPT TO PROTECT FROM THESE
INTERVENTIONS THAT HAVE
LIFELONG LONG IRREVERSIBLE
CONSEQUENCES.
AS THE BATTLE RAGES ON,
HASSON SAYS PROTECTING THE
HEARTS, BODIES AND MINDS OF THE
NATION'S YOUTH IS WORTH THE
FIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF
WORK.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAVING THE COURAGE OF
THEIR CONVICTIONS, THE TRUTH
REACHING OUT TO THOSE WHO'VE
BEEN LED DOWN A FALSE AND
REACHING OUT WITH LOVE AND
COMPASSION BUT A WILLINGNESS TO
SPEAK THE TRUTH.
CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS I
THINK I GREW UP IN A VERY
INNOCENT AGE AND THIS WAS
ABSOLUTELY UNTHINKABLE WHEN I
WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD 12 YEARS
OLD YOU HEARD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
IT AT ALL.
IT WASN'T EVEN PART OF THE
CONVERSATION.
TERRY WHAT DO YOU THINK IS IS
RESPONSIBLE HERE?
WHY THE RISE OF THIS IT JUST
SEEMS AMAZING THAT IT'S TRIPLED
IN JUST FOUR YEARS WITHOUT INTO
DEEP WEEDS HERE THEOLOGICALLY.
LET ME JUST SAY THAT I THINK
DESTROYING OUR IMAGE OF
OURSELVES AS MADE IN THE IMAGE
AND LIKENESS OF GOD PROBABLY
THE NUMBER ONE MOVE ON THE PART
THE ENEMY OF GOD.
THAT SAID, I MEAN WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THIS I FEEL LIKE
THERE'S SO MANY ISSUES IN OUR
COUNTRY WHERE COMMON SENSE HAS
JUST BEEN LOST.
I MEAN WE KNOW THAT CHILDREN
ARE STILL DEVELOP THEY'RE STILL
GROWING.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE
EVEN KIDS WHEN THEY'RE IN
COLLEGE YOU KNOW, ARE STILL
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO AM I,
WHAT DO I WANT TO DO WHAT'S IT
LIKE TO MAKE FRIENDS AND LIVE
ON MY OWN INDEPENDENTLY TO MAKE
LIFE CHANGING MEDICAL DECISION
THAT'S GOING TO PUT YOU ON SOME
KIND OF A MEDICAL LIST AND
TAKING DRUGS FOR THE REST OF
YOUR LIFE
BE DONE WHEN YOU'RE A CHILD AND
.
AND HONESTLY I THINK YOU
ALMOST OUGHT TO BE AN AGE WHERE
YOU ARE GROWN UP ENOUGH MATURE
ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT DECISION
YOURSELF NOT PARENTS MAKING.
IT I MEAN PARENTS SHOULD BE
PROTECTING THEIR CHILDREN BUT
IT SEEMS LIKE THE MEDICAL
COMMUNITY IS MAKING THAT
DECISION AND OVERRIDING PARENTS
AND THAT QUESTION WOULD YOU
RATHER HAVE A DEAD CHILD OR A
TRANSITION.
IS THAT BEING DRIVEN BY I MEAN
IT WAS IN THE PIECE YOU NOW
HAVE A PATIENT FOR LIFE.
YEAH.
AND KIND OF A MANIPULATIVE
QUESTION WHICH CHILDREN ARE
WANTS TO DO WHEN THEY ARE
CERTAIN AGE AS YOU KNOW LET ME
HAVE MY WAY AND THEN I'LL BE
HAPPY AND THAT'S A PERFECT
EXAMPLE TO ME OF SOMEONE WHO
WAS TO DO THAT WHO WAS ANYTHING
BUT HAPPY AND STILL STRUGGLING
TO DEAL WITH THE REPERCUSSIONS
OF IT.
I MEAN THE WHOLE ISSUE NEEDS
PLENTY OF TIME, PLENTY OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR KIDS TO MATURE
FOR PARENTS TO STAND UP AND
TAKE THEIR RIGHTFUL POSITION
AND SAY I HAVE A SON, I HAVE A
DAUGHTER.
WHEN YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO MAKE
THIS DECISION, LET'S TALK ABOUT
THAT TOGETHER BUT NOT TO LET
JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE BENT ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER TODAY OR
TOMORROW OBVIOUSLY IT CHANGES
FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THAT
REPORT WHAT I MAY FEEL AT 12 I
MIGHT NOT FEEL AT 20.
WELL, ALSO THE MEDICAL
EVIDENCE WHICH I'M AMAZED THE
PEDIATRIC DOCTORS IN AMERICA
LOOK AT IT.
YES, BUT THE MEDICAL EVIDENCE
SEEMED TO SUGGEST IF NOT PROVE
THIS ISN'T WORKING.
YEAH.
AND SO WHY ARE WE TAKING EIGHT
YEAR OLDS 12 YEAR OLDS, 15 YEAR
OLDS?
WHY ARE WE TAKING THEM
WELCOME BACK TO THE 700 CLUB
FOR OUR TOP STORIES FROM CBN
NEWS CONGRESS IS BACK SESSION
THIS WEEK AND ONE OF ITS TOP
PRIORITIES IS ARTIFICIAL.
WITH SEVERAL HEARINGS ON THE
SUBJECT.
IT'S SUDDEN EXPLOSION IS ALSO
LEFT SOME CHRISTIANS PONDERING
THE MORAL IMPLICATIONS OVER THE
EVER EXPANSIVE TECHNOLOGY.
CBN'S BILLY HALLOWELL TAKES
A CLOSER LOOK WHEN IT COMES TO
THE TRUE SIZE AND SCOPE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THE
FUTURE IS ANYTHING BUT CERTAIN
OF PROFOUND TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCEMENT COME ALONGSIDE OVER
JOB LOSS AND LAPSED ETHICS.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE
WHOLE ISSUE OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE IS THAT THAT THAT
LANDSCAPE COULD CHANGE BEFORE I
GET TO THE END OF THE.
DR. ALBERT MOHLER, PRESIDENT
OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST
THEOLOGICAL SAYS NEW MORAL
DIMENSIONS SURROUNDING AI
EMERGE FAST AS THE TECHNOLOGY
EVOLVES.
THIS IS A TRULY FRIGHTENING
AND I DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW WE DON'T
KNOW AND THIS REALLY IS SETTING
SOMETHING LOOSE IN THE LAB.
MOHLER URGES CHRISTIANS TO
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
CLAIM A.I. COULD POTENTIALLY A
FORM OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A
FEELING MACHINE.
THERE MAY BE A MACHINE THAT
MIMICS FEELING.
WE'RE NOT MERELY FEELING
MACHINES.
WE'RE NOT MERELY MACHINES THAT
MIMIC FEELING.
WE'RE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE.
AND SO THERE HAS TO BE A
DISTINCTION THERE.
BUT KEEPING THAT DISTINCTION
STRAIGHT AND BY THE WAY,
DEFENDING HUMAN DIGNITY IS
GOING TO UNIQUELY FOLLOW
CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS
CASHING OUT ITS ABILITY TO
ARGUE FOR HUMAN DIGNITY.
AUTHOR JEFF KINLEY AGREES AND
ADDS A WARNING ABOUT ALLOWING
AI TO DIMINISH HUMAN PURPOSE
AND VALUE.
OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CONCERNS IS THAT IT REPLACES
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
I MEAN WE ARE MOVING AS A
SOCIETY TOWARDS REPLACING
HUMANITY JUST ABOUT EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE REPLACING HUMAN LABOR,
HUMAN THOUGHT, HUMAN WRITING,
TRYING TO PRETTY MUCH PUT
HUMANITY TO THE THE MARGINS OF
THE OF THE NARRATIVE
UNRESTRAINED SURVEILLANCE AND
THE ABILITY TO HACK THE HUMAN
BRAIN ARE TWO POTENTIAL
CONCERNS.
KINLEY, HOWEVER, CALLS
CENSORSHIP AND INFORMATIONAL
CONTROL THE MORE IMMEDIATE
THREATS.
THE IDEA OF DECEPTION
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NOT
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE AND SO
THERE'S THE THE OBVIOUSLY THE
CAPACITY FOR A LOT OF BIAS IN
THEIR PRE-SCRIPTED INHERENT
BIAS BUT ALSO JUST THE IDEA OF
PUTTING A FALSE NARRATIVE AND
SOMEONE SAYS HEY, THE AI MUST
KNOW THAN ME SO I'M GOING TO
TRUST THE AI MORE THAN THE
PEOPLE WHO COULD CALLED
CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST ALEX
MCFARLAND ECHOES CONCERNS AND
SAYS IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHO'S
PROGRAMING THE SYSTEMS, HOW
THEY'RE USED.
TECHNOLOGY IS GENERALLY ALL
MORAL.
COMPUTERS AREN'T NECESSARILY
GOOD OR BAD BUT WHAT YOU DO
THEM YOU KNOW ON THE MORAL
ISSUES CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT AI BECAUSE
SO MUCH OF THE CODE AND THE
ALGORITHMS THAT RUN THE
INTERNET COME FROM THE SOULS
AND MINDS OF SILICON VALLEY
LIBERALS.
THE OVERALL IMPACT DEPENDS
ON HUMAN INTENTION.
THERE ARE ALSO POSITIVE
OPPORTUNITIES.
SOME EXPERTS ARE USING THE TECH
TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH AND
WELL-BEING AND CHRISTIAN GROUPS
ARE TRANSLATING BIBLE INTO NEW
LANGUAGES WITH IT.
AUTHOR JONNY MOORE AMONG OTHERS
AMERICA MUST PAUSE, REFLECT AND
OFFER MORAL LEADERSHIP ENSURE
THE RIGHT PATH FORWARD.
ALL THE GOOD AND THE BAD IT
IS GOING TO BE REALIZED BY US
THE DECISIONS WE MAKE NOW WILL
DETERMINE THE LIVES OUR
CHILDREN WILL ENJOY AND AND
THIS IS THE MOMENT TO PRESS
PAUSE TO GATHER TOGETHER TO ASK
THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND TO MAKE
SURE THE UNITED STATES ISN'T
JUST LEADING IN BUT THEY'RE
WERE LEADING WITH OUR VALUES
TOO.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THESE
WARNINGS ARE HEEDED.

CHRISTIAN NEVER SAW IT
COMING IN ONE INSTANT HIS LIFE
WAS SHATTERED BY A DRUNK DRIVER
.
CHRIS SURVIVED AGAINST ALL
ODDS AND MIRACULOUSLY HE GREW
TO THRIVE.
ALL BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF
PRAYER.
THERE WAS A NORMAL NORMAL.
I HAD IT ON MY WAY HOME.
I WAS GOING THROUGH A GREEN
LIGHT AND I WAS JUST DRIVING
THROUGH THIS INTERSECTION.
SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2019 CHRISTIAN
WAS ON WAY HOME AROUND MIDNIGHT
AFTER FINISHING HIS SHIFT AS A
RIDESHARE DRIVER.
IT WAS JUST LIKE OUT OF A
BLINK OF AN EYE.
I TURNED TO MY LEFT AND ALL I
SEEN WAS FLASHING COMING TOWARD
ME.
AND THEN IT WAS I WAS JUST OUT
.
A DRUNK DRIVER T-BONED HIS CAR
AT 60 MILES PER HOUR TRAPPED IN
HIS CAR.
PRESS WAS IN AND OUT OF
CONSCIOUSNESS.
I NOTICED THAT THERE'S
PARAMEDICS THERE AND THEY'RE
TRYING TO GET ME TO RESPOND AND
TRYING TO PULL ME OUT OF THE
VEHICLE AND THEN NEXT THING YOU
KNOW I WOKE UP IN AN.
CHRIS WAS TAKEN TO HONOR HEALTH
HOSPITAL PHENIX.
HE HAD SUSTAINED SEVERAL LIFE
THREATENING INJURIES.
LUNGS, A RUPTURED SPLEEN AND
INTERNAL BLEEDING.
HE ALSO SUFFERED SEVERAL
FRACTURES INCLUDING HIS HIPS
AND KNEES.
WITH SO MANY SERIOUS INJURIES
HE WAS NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NIGHT.
HIS PASTOR ZEEK RODRIGUEZ
RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AS SOON
AS HE HEARD.
YOU KNOW IT WAS BAD.
THEY TOLD IT WAS REAL REAL BAD.
SO WE PRAYED.
MY WIFE AND I ON OUR WAY TO THE
HOSPITAL WERE PRAYING AND
SEEKING GOD'S FACE AND SEEKING
GOD'S FAVOR.
ANOINTING HIS STRENGTH.
CHRIS WAS QUICKLY IN FOR
EMERGENCY SURGERY.
A NEW CHRISTIAN AT THE TIME HE
SAYS HE SAW A VISION.
IT WAS SO VIVID AND I.
I WAS STANDING THERE LOOKING AT
AN OPERATING TABLE LOOKING AT A
BUNCH OF DOCTORS AND THEY WERE
JUST HANDING INSTRUMENTS AND
JUST LIKE GOING THE SURGERY AND
I'M SITTING THERE LOOKING AT MY
BODY AND I'M LOOKING AT THEM GO
THROUGH THIS AND I SEE A MAN
THERE WEARING A WHITE CLOTH
ROBE AND IT WAS JESUS STANDING
RIGHT BESIDE ME.
AFTER SEVERAL BACK TO BACK
SURGERIES, CHRIS WAS TAKEN TO
ICU IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
HIS FAMILY AND CHURCH MEMBERS
CONTINUE TO PRAY AS HE CLUNG TO
LIFE.
IF HE DID SURVIVE HE WAS NOT
EXPECTED EVER BE ABLE TO
FUNCTION NORMALLY?
I REFUSED TO TO SEE THE
CIRCUMSTANCES IT WAS IN.
I REFUSED TO LISTEN TO THE
NEWS THAT I HEARD AND I BEGAN
TO SPEAK LIFE HIM.
I NOTIFIED THE CHURCH RIGHT
AWAY.
WE HAVE PRAYER TEAMS.
WE'VE ALWAYS HAD PRAYER TEAMS
OF PEOPLE THAT INTERCESSORS
INTERCEDE.
I FELT PEOPLE'S PRAYERS AND
THEN WITH PASTOR ZEKE BEING
THERE JUST PRAYING FOR ME AND
PRAYING FOR ME.
IT SUCH A FAITH BUILDER AND
ENCOURAGEMENT.
MIRACULOUSLY AFTER A WEEK IN
ICU, CHRIS BEGAN TO STABILIZE.
HE WAS LATER TRANSFERRED TO
LINCOLN MEDICAL CENTER TO START
HIS LONG HARD ROAD TO RECOVERY.
HE ALSO BEGAN TO LEARN ABOUT
DEPENDING ON GOD FOR STRENGTH
AND HEALING.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED GOING
THERE WAS JUST IT WAS HARD FOR
ME TO EVEN DO THERAPY IN A
WHEELCHAIR.
I JUST KEPT PRAYING AND THEN
JUST SAYING GOD LIKE I HAD THAT
SCRIPTURE.
I REALLY HELD PHILIPPIANS 413
IN MY HEART AND I KNOW IT'S
SUCH A COMMON SCRIPTURE BUT FOR
ME IT HAD SO MUCH MEANING
BECAUSE I WAS LIKE MAN, I NEED
TO LEAD ON LEAN ON CHRIST
THROUGH EVERYTHING I'M GOING
THROUGH I NEED TO LEAN ON HIM.
I NEED YOUR STRENGTH.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE
DRIVING HIM TO PUSH THROUGH THE
PAIN?
IN MY VISION I WAS I CAN'T BE
LIKE THIS BECAUSE MY KIDS NEED
ME.
I WASN'T EVEN THINKING MYSELF.
I'M BEING, YOU KNOW, SELFISH.
I WAS MORE LIKE, OKAY, I GOT DO
THIS FOR MY KIDS.
AND I WAS PUSHING TO WALK
AGAIN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH
AFTER ENTERING THE FACILITY.
CHRIS WAS WALKING ASSISTANCE.
TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT HE HAD
COMPLETED REHAB AND WENT HOME.
CHRIS SAYS THE STAFF WAS
SHOCKED.
IT WAS IT WAS BLOWING THEIR
MINDS AND I ALWAYS TELL THEM
IT'S GOD'S STRENGTH, GOD'S
STRENGTH, YOU KNOW, THE LOVE OF
CHRIST AND JUST HOW HE WAS
HELPING ME THIS.
WITHIN SIX MONTHS CHRIS WAS
BACK AT WORK AND ENJOYING LIFE
AS A HUSBAND, FATHER AND STREET
EVANGELIST.
HE SAYS HE SEES HIS ACCIDENT AS
A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
I DON'T TAKE THINGS FOR
GRANTED.
YOU KNOW, I REALLY BELIEVE THAT
YOU KNOW, WHAT I WENT THROUGH
WAS DRAMATIC.
IT WAS THERE WAS A BIG STORM
THAT I WAS GOING THROUGH A BIG
TRIAL.
YOU KNOW, I JUST BELIEVE
THAT GOD HAD ME THROUGH IT.
WE HAVE AN AWESOME GOD, A
POWERFUL GOD BECAUSE OF THINGS
THAT ARE NOT AS IF THEY WERE A
CAUSE.
THAT WAS HIS DAD BACK TO
LIFE.
I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE MIRACLES
DON'T HAPPEN WHEN THEY'RE
NEEDED.
MIRACLES HAPPEN WHEN YOU'RE
WOUNDED
MIRACLE.
I KNOW GOD STILL TODAY
BECAUSE I'M A WALKING TALKING
TESTIMONY OF IT.
KNOW THAT'S THAT'S THE WHOLE
THE WHOLE PURPOSE I BELIEVE OF
MY ACCIDENT AND MY RECOVERY.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY I SHARE
MY TESTIMONY WITH OF PEOPLE IS
BECAUSE I WANT TO BUILD UP
SOMEONE'S FAITH AND LET PEOPLE
KNOW MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A
STORM, A TRIAL OR A SITUATION
BUT TO LEAN ON GOD AND HAVE
FAITH THAT YOU'LL GET THROUGH
IT.
YOU KNOW, LIFE HAPPENS
DOESN'T IT?
AND IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN
SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIS AND IT
WAS LIFE THREATENING.
BUT THE FAITH OF HIS PASTOR,
HIS FAMILY, HIS CAME AND
SURROUNDED HIM AND THEY BEGAN
TO STORM HEAVEN ON HIS BEHALF.
WE WANT TO DO THAT FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW.
I KNOW THERE ARE MANY OF YOU
WHO'VE HAD SUDDENLY AS HAPPENED
IN YOUR OWN LIFE MAYBE IT'S

STRUGGLING WITH FOR A LONG
TIME.

JOINED THE ONE LIVE UNDER
HER PARENTS RULES SO SHE WOUND
UP HAVING TO LIVE UNDER A
PIMP'S.
FOR 12 YEARS SHE WAS FORCED TO
TURN TRICKS UNTIL A DESPERATE
PRAYER SET HER FREE.
BY THAT PIMPS HOLD GUNS TO
MY HEAD.
I'VE HAD PIMPS PULL UP PICTURES
ON THE INTERNET OF MY FAMILY
AND THAT THEY DO WHATEVER THEY
NEEDED TO DO TO MAKE ME FALL IN
LINE.
WHEN SHE WAS TWO MONTHS OLD,
JOY ANDERSON WAS ADOPTED A
LOVING CHRISTIAN FAMILY.
HER CHILDHOOD WAS FILLED
WITH LAUGHTER AND MUSIC.
SHE EXCELLED AS A PIANO PLAYER.
AS A TEENAGER THE PIANO BECAME
AN AFTERTHOUGHT AS TURNED TO
ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA AS A WAY
TO FIT IN WITH HER PEERS.
DURING THAT TIME SHE LEFT HER
HOME AND HER FAMILY.
I HAVE BEEN KIND OF IN AND
OUT OF DIFFERENT HOUSES BECAUSE
IT'S HOMELESS.
I COULDN'T GO HOME BECAUSE I
DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE THEIR
RULES.
AT 17 WHILE AT A CLUB SHE
MET A WOMAN WHO TOLD HER HOW
SHE COULD MAKE BIG MONEY FAST
AS A PROSTITUTE.
SHE PULLED OUT A COUPLE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND FOR
SOMEONE LIKE ME THAT WAS A LOT
OF MONEY.
BUT I WAS DESPERATE AND
VULNERABLE.
IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THIS IS THE
PERFECT TIMING.
I NEED THIS.
IF YOU DON'T FEEL WORTHY OF
HAVING A HEALTHY IT'S ALMOST
LIKE WHEN THAT DARKNESS DOES
COME TO YOU AND SAY HERE WE
WELCOME YOU IN.
IT'S LIKE YOU BUY A LIE AND
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
WITH ME.
I BOUGHT INTO A LIE.
HER NEW FAMILY INTRODUCED JOY
CRACK COCAINE AND AFTER ONE HIT
SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY ADDICTED
AND TRAPPED.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS HOOKED ON
.
I KNEW THAT I NEEDED THAT TO DO
WHATEVER SHE TOLD ME AND IT
ALSO HELPED ME CHECK OUT
EMOTIONALLY.
SO WHEN MEN CAME IN I DIDN'T
REALLY HAVE TO BE ALL BECAUSE I
WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ALL THERE.
NOBODY WOULD.
YOU NEED MORE AND MORE TO SEE
DIFFERENT CLIENTELE IN THE
PIMPS KNEW THAT IT WAS JUST
REALLY DARK AFTER SEVERAL
TERRIBLE YEARS TRAPPED IN
ADDICTION, TRAFFICKED FOR
PROSTITUTION, JOY BEGAN
DREAMING OF A NORMAL.
THE TOOK US TO THIS GAS
STATION ONE TIME AND I SAW THIS
MOM AND DAD POINTS GAS STATION
WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND HAD
LIKE A MINIVAN AND WE'RE
THINKING I WANT TO GO GO TO
THAT KIND AGAIN.
BUT IT JUST GOES SO FAR AWAY
FROM THE DARKNESS, TALK WITH
IT.
SO I THINK I HAD FLEETING THAT
MAYBE I COULD GET OUT BUT WHEN
YOU FEEL SO IN CHAINS, YOU
KNOW, FROM THE INSIDE IT'S HARD
TO HAPPEN TO THINK THAT YOU CAN
REALLY LIVE LIFE AGAIN.
THOUGH SHE WANTED TO RUN,
SHE FEARED FOR HER LIFE AND
REMAINED CHAINED TO HER
ADDICTION.
OVER THE COURSE OF 12 YEARS JOY
WAS TRAFFICKED ALL OVER THE
UNITED STATES.
IN 2015 THE REALITY OF HER
EMPTINESS TURNED TO DESPERATION
AND I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM
AND I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR.
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE MYSELF.
I KNEW I WANTED OUT AND I KNEW
FOR SOME REASON I JUST KNEW TO
GO TO GOD.
I JUST GOT MY FACE IN BATHROOM
AND I CRIED OUT TO GOD AND I
SAID IF YOU HEAR ME HELP ME I
WANT OUT.
JOY'S WAS THE TARGET OF AN FBI
STING.
TWO DAYS AFTER CRYING OUT TO
GOD, JOY WAS CALLED TO A HOTEL
ROOM AND WHEN I WALKED IN AND
HE CLOSED THE DOOR BEHIND ME I
TURNED AROUND AND AT HIM AND HE
PULLED OUT A NECKLACE A LONG
NECKLACE WITH THE BADGE IT AND
I WAS LIKE AND IT SAID FBI.
AND HE SAID WE'RE DOING A HUMAN
TRAFFICKING STING BASICALLY I
JUST BROKE DOWN IN TEARS AND
THEY ALSO BROUGHT A WOMAN IN
THERE AND SHE WAS AN ADVOCATE
FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS
AND SHE TOLD ME GOD SENT US
HERE TO TELL YOU THAT LOVES YOU
AND THAT THIS IS YOUR WAY OUT
AND IF YOU YOUR LIFE TO HIM
HE'LL SET YOU FREE AND I JUST
BOUGHT LIKE A BABY.
SHE ME I HAD WORTH SO MANY
VALUE SHE TOLD ME.
GOD CREATED ME FOR SOMETHING
DIFFERENT AND THIS SHE TOLD ME
THAT HE'LL TAKE ME OUT OF THIS
DARKNESS.
WHEN SHE SAID THAT DIDN'T
MAKE ME THINK ABOUT TREATMENT
BATHROOM.
I BELIEVED THERE WAS LIGHT.
THERE WAS THIS LIGHT?
I'M NOT EVEN JOKING.
IT WAS THIS LIGHT OFF HER IN A
NEW THAT WAS GOD.
OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS JOEY
GOT CLEAN FROM DRUGS AND GAVE
HER LIFE TO JESUS.
SHE BEGAN LEADING WORSHIP IN A
LOCAL CHURCH.
MY LIFE IS SO CHANGED
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
SOMETIMES I CHILLS RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT THE
FREEDOM I HAVE TODAY.
I DON'T WAKE UP OR GET OUT OF
BED IN THE MORNING TO NOT BE
HERE.
I WANT TO BE HERE BECAUSE
GOD HAS GIVING ME A PURPOSE AND
LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND IT JUST
CHANGES EVERYTHING JUST TO
WORSHIP GOD FEELS SO GOOD NOT
EVEN JUST A IT'S LIKE I KNOW
I'M MADE TO DO THAT IS WORSHIP
GOD TO BRING EMPLOYEE JOY'S
MESSAGE THROUGH HER MUSIC IS
THE SAME WHEN SHE RECEIVES THE
LOVE OF GOD CAN SET THE
CAPTIVES FREE IN MY SHOW AND I
BLAME THEM AND THEN THE THEN
YOU HAVE WORDS YOU HAVE.
GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE STILL HERE FOR A REASON.
GOD CAN GIVE YOU A NEW LIFE.
HE CAN SET YOU FREE FROM FROM
ANY CHAINS AND GIVE YOU A
BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
YOU KNOW, IN THE BEGINNING
REALLY JOYS.
AND JOURNEYS STARTED OUT JUST
NOT WANTING TO HAVE TO LISTEN
TO ANYBODY TELL HER HOW TO LIVE
OR HOW TO THINK OR WHAT TO DO
WHAT TO BE, YOU KNOW.
AND SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING
TO FIND SOME FREEDOM AND GOING
OUT ON HER OWN.
WHEN WE WANDER INTO OUR
COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, IN THE
BEGINNING IT NEVER FEELS LIKE
WE'RE INTO THE FAR COUNTRY,
DOES IT?
BUT MAYBE TODAY AS YOU'RE
WATCHING JOYCE STORY, YOU'VE
WANDERED INTO THE FAR COUNTRY.
YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU GET THERE
GOOD CAN SEEM SO FAR AWAY AND
THERE IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
YOU'RE VALUABLE, YOU'RE
WORTHWHILE.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS
THE CREATOR OF ALL THAT HIS
WHAT DOWN AND SAY I WANT HER I
WANT HIM.
BUT THAT'S WHAT HE'S SAYING
TODAY.
