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. Read Transcript


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.

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

THE SAME WHEN SHE RECEIVES THE

LOVE OF GOD CAN SET THE

CAPTIVES FREE IN MY SHOW AND I

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.

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
