MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN THIS

THEY'RE OVERWHELMED BUT WE NEED

SPIRIT TO MOVE IN THIS

SITUATION IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

AMEN.

TURNING NOW TO THE WAR IN

ISRAEL.

ISRAELI TROOPS ARE POISED ON

THE GAZA BORDER YET THE GROUND

INVASION IS STILL ON HOLD.

IN HIS ADDRESS TO THE JEWISH

NATION, PRIME MINISTER

NETANYAHU SAID THE WAR WILL

DECIDE WHEN TO MOVE.

MEANWHILE THE FATE OF MORE THAN

200 HOSTAGES STILL HANGING IN

THE BALANCE.

CBS MIDDLE EAST BUREAU CHIEF

CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

JERUSALEM.

OVERNIGHT THE IDF CONDUCTED A

RAID INTO THE NORTHERN GAZA

STRIP STRIKING A NUMBER OF

HAMAS TARGETS TO PREPARE THE

BATTLEFIELD FOR THE NEXT STAGE

OF COMBAT.

ON THE GROUND THE SOLDIERS SAY

THEY'RE READY.

AS FAR AS WHY NOT OPERATING?

I DON'T KNOW WHY EXACTLY.

THERE'S RUMORS BECAUSE OF THE

CABINET, THE PRIME MINISTER,

WHOEVER.

I DON'T CARE.

AS FAR AS A TERROR IS

CONCERNED, WE ARE READY.

WE ARE PREPPED.

WE HAVE BEEN TRAINING AND WE'VE

BEEN OVER TRAINING AND WE HAVE

BEEN HONING IN OUR AND MY UNIT

AT LEAST AND I CAN TELL YOU AS

FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED WE ARE

MORE THAN READY TO GO IN TO

OPERATE AND TO GET THINGS DONE.

THERE ARE REPORTS ISRAEL IS

DELAYING THE GROUND INVASION

WHILE.

THE U.S. MOVES MORE RESOURCES

INTO THE REGION TO DETER A

WIDENING.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT ISRAELI PRIME

MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

ADDRESSED THE NATION.

HE SAID THE TIME OF THE GROUND

INVASION WILL BE DETERMINED BY

THE WAR CABINET AND EXPLAIN AT

STAKE.

WE'RE CONCERNED BY ONE THING

SAVING THE COUNTRY, ACHIEVING

VICTORY OUR WAR.

HAMAS IS A TEST FOR ALL OF

HUMANITY.

IT'S A A FIGHT BETWEEN THE IRAN

HEZBOLLAH, HAMAS AXIS OF EVIL

AND THE FORCES OF FREEDOM AND

PROGRESS.

LIGHT WILL DEFEAT DARKNESS.

IN LEBANON, HEZBOLLAH LEADER

HASSAN NASRALLAH MET WITH

LEADERS OF THE PALESTINIAN

ISLAMIC AND HAMAS.

THEIR REPORTED MEETING SINCE

THE START OF THE WAR.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ALSO

REPORTED THAT AS MANY AS 500

HAMAS TERRORISTS TRAINED INSIDE

IRAN BEFORE THE MASSACRE ON

OCTOBER 7TH.

IN THE MEANTIME, THE IDF

CONTINUES TO BOMB HAMAS TARGETS

IN GAZA CITY.

HAMAS SPOKESMAN SAYS 6000

PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED

SO FAR.

A NUMBER OF PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN QUESTIONS HAVE NO NOTION

THE PALESTINIANS ARE TELLING

THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE

ARE KILLED.

I'M SURE INNOCENTS HAVE BEEN

KILLED.

AND IT'S A PRICE OF WAGING A

WAR.

BUT I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE

NUMBER THAT THE PALESTINIANS

ARE USING.

BIDEN ALSO BELIEVES THE

HAMAS WAS DESIGNED TO DISRUPT

PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

CONVINCED ONE OF THE REASONS

HAMAS ATTACKED WHEN THEY DID I

HAVE PROOF OF THIS JUST MY

INSTINCT TELLS ME IS BECAUSE OF

THE PROGRESS ARE MAKING TOWARDS

ACHIEVING INTEGRATION FOR

ISRAEL AND REGIONAL OVERALL.

AND WE CAN'T LEAVE THAT WORK

BEHIND.

I WAS WITH HER ON THE PHONE.

IT TURNED 14 WHEN SHE CALLED ME

AND SAID MOMMY, I WAS.

JUST IMAGINE HOW MOTHER WILL

FEEL WHEN SHE HEARS THE

DAUGHTER ON THE PHONE FAR FROM

HER SAYING I WAS SHOT.

ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE GO

OVER THEIR PRAYER FOR THE

HOSTAGES AND MISSING LINKED

FAMILIES AND JEWS AROUND THE

WORLD IN PRAYER.

WE FEEL THE PAIN GLOBALLY OF

THE FAMILIES THAT THEIR KIDS

WERE MURDERED BUTCHERS KIDNAPED

AND WE WANTED TO BRING AN

EVENING OF SOLIDARITY FOR JEWS

AROUND THE WORLD THAT THEY

COULD TUNE IN LIVE, THAT THEY

COULD HEAR THIS STORY AND UNITE

PRAYER.

AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO

IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE'RE ONE

FAMILY AND WE CARE FOR ONE

ANOTHER.

IT'S THIS RELIANCE ON,

PRAYER AND GOD'S WORD THAT IS A

SOURCE OF STRENGTH TO MANY AT

THIS.

AT THE END OF HIS SPEECH

NETANYAHU QUOTED THE BIBLE

BECAUSE SHARED FORCES WITH DEEP

FAITH IN THE JUSTICE OF OUR

CAUSE AND IN THE ETERNITY OF

ISRAEL WE WILL REALIZE THE

PROPHECY OF ISAIAH 6018

VIOLENCE SHALL NO MORE BE HEARD

IN YOUR LAND DESOLATION NOR

DESTRUCTION YOUR BORDERS.

BUT YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR WARS

SALVATION AND YOUR GATES PRAISE

HIM.

CHRIS MITCHELL

NOW.

WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE HIS

REPORTING ON THE GROUND.

CHRIS YESTERDAY PRESIDENT BIDEN

SAID AFTER THIS CRISIS IS OVER

WE CAN'T RETURN TO THE STATUS

QUO.

THE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON CREATING

A TWO STATE SOLUTION.

IS THAT MESSAGE GOING TO BE

RECEIVED IN ISRAEL RIGHT NOW?

WELL, ANDREW, IT'S NOT BEING

RECEIVED WELL AT ALL.

SOME PEOPLE WONDER IF IT'S

WISHFUL THINKING OR WHERE

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GETTING

INTELLIGENCE.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR REPORT

YESTERDAY ABOUT THE PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY WE NOTED THAT

ACTUALLY THAT THEY THAT HAMAS

IS ACTUALLY MORE POPULAR THAN

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IN,

THE WEST BANK.

AND SO IT ALSO IN LAST FRIDAY

THE IMAMS IN THE WEST BANK

WE'RE TOLD TO QUOTE A VERSE

FROM THE HADITH THAT SAYS, YOU

KNOW, IN THE JUDGMENT DAY IS

COMING YOU HAVE TO RISE UP AND

KILL JEWS.

SO IT'S NOT BEING ACCEPTED MUCH

BY HERE.

YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION IS TAKING OTHER

ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE DONE BACK

TO THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION

ADVOCATE A TWO STATE SOLUTION

BUT IT'S NEVER SUCCEEDED.

AND AFTER OCTOBER SEVENTH I

DON'T THINK IT'S THERE'S MUCH

APPETITE FOR THAT HERE IN IN IN

ISRAEL AT ALL.

NOW OF COURSE AND ALSO

YESTERDAY IN AP PHOTO SHOWED

THAT HEZBOLLAH, HAMAS AND

ISLAMIC LEADERS TOGETHER.

WHAT'S THE MESSAGE OF THAT

MEETING?

WELL, I THINK THE MESSAGE RIGHT

NOW, ANDREW, IS THAT THERE'S

COORDINATION BETWEEN ALL THE

PROXY ARMIES AND GROUPS SAID

HERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT

WOULD BE PALESTINIAN ISLAMIC, A

PROXY IRAN HAMAS WHICH IS

FUNDED BY IRAN ALSO.

MANY OF THE IRANIAN MILITIAS

ARE ATTACKING U.S. BASES RIGHT

NOW IN SYRIA AND IRAQ.

SO I THINK ALL OF THIS IS IT'S

TELLING US IS THAT DIRECTED AND

COORDINATED BY TEHRAN?

AND SO THIS IS THE FIRST

REPORTED MEETING OR NOT THERE

ARE OTHER REPORTED MEETINGS WE

DON'T KNOW BUT BUT CERTAINLY

THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE

CONCERNED ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS

NOT ONLY ISRAEL BUT ALSO US

TROOPS IN THE REGION BUT THE

GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE

HOSTAGES, THE MISSING.

WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US?

WELL, CAN TELL YOU ACTUALLY I

WENT TO TWO EVENTS YESTERDAY.

THE FIRST ONE I WENT TO ANDREW

WAS SOMETHING THAT THE

INTERNATIONAL MEDIA HAD HAD

BEEN GIVEN HAD GIVEN THE RAW

FOOTAGE OF WHAT HAPPENED ON

OCTOBER AND IT WAS JUST

HORRIFYING TO SEE SOME OF THESE

IMAGES SOME OF THESE IMAGES

ACTUALLY MEN IN COMBAT GEAR

WITH, YOU KNOW, KILLING A

FATHER AND WOUNDING TWO OF THE

TWO TWO YOUNG BOYS.

YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THIS IS

A SATURDAY MORNING THEY WERE

EXPECTING A RELAXING SHABBAT

AND YET THEY CAME THIS

TERRIFYING THING HAPPEN THIS

TERRIFYING DAY HAPPENED.

SO THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I

SAW AND REALLY WHAT IT WHAT IT

DID TO ME.

ANDREW IT MOVED THAT THAT YOU

KNOW, THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT

AREN'T GOING TO BE CELEBRATING

OR ANNIVERSARIES OR GRADUATIONS

AND THEIR WHOLE LIVES ARE

UPSIDE DOWN EITHER ENDED OR AS

WE SAW LATER IN THE DAY WE THIS

EVENT THIS PRAYER EVENT FOR

THOSE A GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER

BOTH THE HOSTAGES AND THE

MISSING.

AND THAT WAS A MOVING EVENT AS

WELL.

WE HEARD THE ACCOUNT OF ONE

WOMAN WHO ACTUALLY WENT ON THE

PHONE WITH HER DAUGHTER WHILE

SHE WAS BEING HUNTED BY BY BY

HAMAS.

SHE WAS SHOT AND NOW SHE'S

KIDNAPED NOT KNOWING WHERE SHE

IS OR WHAT KIND OF CONDITION

SHE'S IN.

SO THAT WAS KIND OF THE MOVING

EVENT.

AND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS, YOU

KNOW, THE TALMUD SAYS ONE OF

THE RABBIS WAS TELLING ME ONE

OF THE WORST ANGUISH YOU CAN

HAVE IS HAVING PERSON KIDNAPED

A LOVED ONE KIDNAPED BECAUSE

THERE'S NO CLOSURE AND THEY

REALLY THEY CAN'T GO AHEAD AND

CLOSE THAT SORT OF EMOTIONAL

GAP.

AND ONE PEOPLE TOLD ME THE

JEWISH PEOPLE ARE A FAMILY.

THEY WANT CHRISTIANS TO STAND

WITH THEM AND REALLY THE REASON

FOR THE GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER IS

THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING

DIPLOMATICALLY.

THEY'RE DOING NEGOTIATIONS BUT

THE ULTIMATE HELP AS THEY LOOK

TO THE ALMIGHTY, THEY LOOK TO

GOD.

RIGHT.

CHRIS, THANK YOU AND THANKS TO

YOUR ENTIRE TEAM FOR ALL THE

SPECIAL COVERAGE YOU HAVE

BROUGHT US IN THESE WEEKS.

THANKS, INDRA.

IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE HOUSE

OF REPRESENTATIVES FINALLY HAS

A NEW SPEAKER.

REPUBLICANS VOTED WEDNESDAY TO

GIVE LOUISIANA'S MIKE JOHNSON

THE GAVEL AS THE HOUSE RETURNED

TO BUSINESS.

ITS FIRST ACTION WAS

OVERWHELMINGLY PASSING A

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ISRAEL

AND CONDEMNING HAMAS.

ON CAPITOL HILL, CORRESPONDENT

GALLAGHER HAS THE STORY.

NO REPUBLICAN VOTED MIKE

JOHNSON AS HE BECAME THE NEWEST

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

THAT WAS NOT THE WITH THE OTHER

CANDIDATES IN THE THREE WEEKS

SINCE THAT THE HOUSE HAS BEEN

WITHOUT A LEADER.

BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO GET TO

WORK AND REPUBLICANS HOPE THAT

THEY HAVE FOUND A CANDIDATE TO

UNITE THEIR CONFERENCE.

FROM THE GREAT STATE OF

LOUISIANA AND THE 56 SPEAKER OF

THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES THE HONORABLE

MIKE JOHNSON.

THE HOUSE WAS FINALLY ABLE

TO OPEN AGAIN AFTER LOUISIANA'S

MIKE JOHNSON BECAME THE NEWEST

SPEAKER.

TURMOIL AND VIOLENCE HAVE

ROCKED THE MIDDLE EAST AND

EASTERN EUROPE WE ALL KNOW IT

AND TENSIONS CONTINUE TO BUILD

IN THE INDO-PACIFIC.

THE COUNTRY DEMANDS STRONG

LEADERSHIP OF THIS BODY AND

MUST NOT WAVER.

JOHNSON WENT FROM A RELATIVE

UNKNOWN TO THIRD IN LINE FOR

THE PRESIDENCY.

THE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN, A

STRONG DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTER

AND PREVIOUSLY QUESTIONED THE

RESULTS OF 2020 ELECTION.

DEMOCRATS IMMEDIATELY TARGETED

JOHNSON'S VIEWS.

JOE BIDEN WON THE 2020

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

HE'S DOING GREAT JOB UNDER

DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND, NO

AMOUNT OF ELECTION DENIALISM

WILL EVER CHANGE THAT REALITY.

NOT NOW.

NOT EVER.

BUT THE NEWEST SPEAKER OF

THE HOUSE VOWED TO WORK ACROSS

THE AISLE.

I DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING

WITH YOU ON BEHALF OF THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE.

I KNOW WE SEE THINGS FROM

VERY DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW

BUT I KNOW THAT IN YOUR HEART

YOU LOVE AND CARE ABOUT COUNTRY

AND YOU WANT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO FIND

COMMON GROUND THERE.

HOUSE MEMBERS HAVE PLENTY OF

WORK TO GET TO AFTER A THREE

WEEK HIATUS.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN BOB GOOD

TOLD CBN HE BELIEVES JOHNSON'S

SPEAKERSHIP IS GOOD FOR AN

ISRAELI AID.

HE IS A STRONG PROPONENT OF

ISRAEL AND I WILL SAY THAT THE

REPUBLICAN CONFERENCES UNITED

THAT WAY.

BUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO

SEPARATE FUNDING FOR ISRAEL

FROM THIS BIG PACKAGE THAT

BIDEN WANTS TO DO WHAT HE WANTS

TO ESSENTIALLY HOLD HOSTAGE OR

HIJACK SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL TO

TRY TO PASS OTHER THINGS THAT

ARE UNRELATED.

I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE

ANY COINCIDENCES IN A LIKE

THIS.

I BELIEVE THAT SCRIPTURE THE

BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR THAT THAT

GOD IS THE ONE THAT RAISES UP

THOSE IN AUTHORITY.

HE RAISED UP EACH OF YOU.

ALL OF US.

AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS

ORDAINED AND ALLOWED EACH ONE

OF US TO BE BROUGHT HERE FOR

THIS MOMENT IN THIS TIME.

AND THE FIRST THING THAT THE

HOUSE DID NOW THAT THEY WERE

BACK TO WORK WITH A NEW

SPEAKER, THEY BROUGHT A BILL TO

THE FLOOR SUPPORTING ISRAEL AND

CONDEMNING HAMAS.

AT THE CAPITOL, MATT GALLAGHER,

CBN.

AS MATT SAID MIKE JOHNSON

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A MONTH

AGO HE WOULD BE THIRD IN LINE

TO THE PRESIDENCY AT LEAST A

SPEAKER IS IN PLACE TERRY.

THE OCTOBER SEVENTH ATTACKS

ISRAELI COMMUNITIES DESPERATELY

NEED SECURITY AND MEDICAL CBN'S

BRODY CARTER SPOKE WITH SOME OF

ISRAEL'S FRIENDS AMERICA WHO

ARE STEPPING UP TO KEEP THE

PIPELINE FLOWING.

THERE ARE ROUGHLY HUNDRED AND

70 SMALL TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES

WITH POPULATIONS UP TO THOUSAND

RESIDENTS SCATTERED ACROSS

ISRAEL.

YOU KNOW THEM AS A KIBBUTZ IS

AN AGRICULTURAL HUB THAT

PROVIDES A SOCIETAL NORM UNIQUE

TO ISRAEL MANY OF THEM LOST

THEIR SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN IT

WAS SHATTERED BY THE RECENT

TERROR ATTACKS.

WHEN YOU SEE A PERSON WALKING

AK 47 BETWEEN HOMES FILLED WITH

CHILDREN AND INFANTS SLEEPING

IN THEIR BEDS, WE NEED TO MAKE

SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES ARE

PROTECTED.

GOPRO FOOTAGE OF HAMAS

GUNMEN

SHOCKED THE WORLD AS NEWS THE

TERROR SPREAD.

IT TRIGGERED AN EFFORT AMONG

AMERICANS TO PROVIDE PROTECTIVE

GEAR FOR VULNERABLE

COMMUNITIES.

OUR INTENTION IS TO HELP

PROTECT LIVES AND THAT'S WHY

WE'RE FOCUSING ON PROTECTIVE

GEAR.

TOWLE, A FORMER IDF SOLDIER

AND ISRAELI-AMERICAN LIVING IN

ATLANTA.

LEADING EFFORT HE HOPES TO

RAISE $20,000 FOR PROTECTIVE

GEAR, BULLETPROOF VESTS,

HELMETS AND OTHER SAFETY

EQUIPMENT TO STRENGTHEN

SECURITY OF ROUGHLY 60

COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN ISRAEL.

FIRES TEND TO BE A BIG

PROBLEM ONCE ONE ROCKETS FAIL A

FALL ANYWHERE IF IT'S

AGRICULTURAL AREAS, OPEN AREAS

THE FIRST 910 DAYS OF THE WAR

WE'VE WE'VE ACTUALLY

TRANSFERRED $30 MILLION

ACCORDING TO RABBI WHILE THE US

BASED FRIENDS OF ISRAEL DEFENSE

FORCES USES DONATIONS AND

GRANTS TO HELP SUPPORT SOLDIERS

BY PROVIDING SUPPLIES LIKE

HYGIENE KITS, PLASMA FIELD

HOSPITALS AND MUCH MORE.

WE BELIEVE THEY'LL BE FOUR

PHASES.

PHASE ONE IS ABOUT 60 TO $63

MILLION.

THAT'S JUST TO COVER THE BASIC

EMERGENCY MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AS

PART OF THOSE UPCOMING PHASES.

WHILE SAYS MILLIONS DOLLARS

WILL GO TOWARDS PHYSICAL AND

EMOTIONAL THERAPIES FOR BOTH

SOLDIERS AND BEREAVED FAMILIES

AMID A POSSIBLE GROUND INVASION

OF GAZA AND WITH MULTIPLE

ENEMIES SUPPORTERS EMPHASIZE

THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRMLY

STANDING WITH THOSE ISRAEL.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST ISRAEL.

THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN ARE

DESCENDING BECAUSE IF ISRAEL

HOLDS THEIR NEXT GOAL IS SUNNI

ISLAM THEY'LL OVER MECCA TAKE

OVER MEDINA THE HOLY SITES OF

ISLAM.

BUT ULTIMATE GOAL WHAT THEY

REFER TO IN THEIR TERMINOLOGY

IS THE GREAT.

THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS WESTERN

CIVILIZATION BUT ALSO FOR ANY

PERSON THAT SEES THAT COUNTRY

OR SPECIFICALLY JERUSALEM AS

THAT IS SACRED AND NEEDS TO BE

ACCESSIBLE AND WE ARE WILLING

TO FIGHT TO PROTECT IT.

BRODY CARTER, CBN NEWS.

AMID THE HORROR OF THE HAMAS

ATTACKS THERE ARE ALSO STORIES

OF HEROISM.

THEY INCLUDE ONE QUICK THINKING

IDF SOLDIER WHO MADE THE

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN THE FACE

OF OVERWHELMING ODDS.

MIDDLE EAST CORRESPONDENT JULIE

THERE WERE ONLY LIKE 20

SOLDIERS IN THE BASE HIM.

HE REALIZED THAT THERE ARE MANY

MORE HAMAS COMBATANTS THAN

SOLDIERS IN THE BASE AND THEY

WERE SLOWLY PICKING THEM OFF.

AND MY SON WENT TO THE OFFICERS

AND HE SAYS I HAVE AN IDEA.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT OUT THERE BUT

WE NEED TO WE NEED TO GO

50 YEARS AGO STEVE GREEN'S

FATHER HAD LITTLE MORE THAN A

GARAGE AND A DREAM.

HE STARTED A BUSINESS OUT OF

HIS OWN HOME MAKING MINIATURE

PICTURE FRAMES.

HE MOVED INTO RETAIL SPACE AND

SOON OPENED ANOTHER SHOP AND

ANOTHER NOW HOBBY LOBBY IS A

RETAIL GIANT.

AND THAT HELPED GREEN FAMILY

LAUNCH ONE OF THE MOST

AMBITIOUS PROJECTS IN OUR

NATION'S.

STEVE GREEN IS THE PRESIDENT OF

HOBBY LOBBY, AN ARTS CRAFTS

RETAIL CHAIN THAT HAS GROWN TO

MORE THAN 900 STORES IN 48

STATES.

STEVE IS ALSO CHAIRMAN OF THE

MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE WHICH

SHOWCASES RARE ARTIFACTS

SPANNING OVER 4000 YEARS OF

HISTORY INVITING ALL PEOPLE TO

EXPERIENCE THE TRANSFORM OF

POWER OF THE BIBLE.

BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM I MUST GET

THERE.

STEVE WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

SO I KNOW ASKED ABOUT HOBBY

LOBBY ALL THE TIME BUT IF I MAY

I MEAN IT MUST BE HUMBLING TO

LOOK BACK ON THE BEGINNINGS AND

SEE WHERE HOBBY LOBBY IS NOW

WITH THE FAMILY HAVE HAD ANY

IDEA OF EVEN HALF THE MEASURE

OF SUCCESS.

YOU KNOW, I THINK MY DAD ALWAYS

HAD DREAMS OF A NATIONAL CHAIN

,HAD WORKED FOR ANOTHER

GENERAL GENERAL MERCHANDISE

COMPANY HAD THAT.

SO I THINK THAT WAS HIS VISION.

BUT IT WAS ALWAYS LOOKING JUST

TWO TO THREE YEARS OUT AND

CONTINUING TO GROW THE BUSINESS

AND GOD HAS BLESSED AND WE'RE

WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL.

NOW IN TODAY'S ECONOMY THERE

ARE A NUMBER OF STORES CHAINS,

BIG BOX PLACES YOU KNOW CLOSING

UP THINGS DROPS IN BUSINESS.

WHY DO YOU THINK HOBBY LOBBY IS

SO SUCCESSFUL?

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WHEN YOU

LOOK AT THE PRINCIPLES THAT WE

BUILD THE BUSINESS OFF OF THE

AS WE STAYED ONLINE YOU CAN SEE

IT AS WE WENT TO OPERATOR

BUSINESS ACCORDING TO BIBLICAL

PRINCIPLES WHICH IS, YOU KNOW,

A LOT OF HARD WORK OPERATING

WITH INTEGRITY AND TAKING CARE

OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND OUR

CUSTOMERS AS BEST WE CAN AND

NONE OF THAT IS A COMPLETE

GUARANTEE.

BUT AS WE STRIVE TO OPERATE OUR

BUSINESS ACCORDING TO THE

PRINCIPLES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN

US.

HE IS BLESSED AND IT

OBVIOUSLY TAKES A LOT OF GREAT

PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF MANY OF

THE 45,000 EMPLOYEES THAT WE

HAVE JUST SOME GREAT PEOPLE

THAT MAKE US THE SUCCESSFUL

COMPANY THAT WE ARE AND SO

WE'RE BLESSED IN MANY WAYS AND

WE THANK GOD FOR THAT.

DOES IT TAKE DISCIPLINE EVEN

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS TO RUN A

BUSINESS?

GOD'S WAY?

I MEAN PEOPLE MAY NOT REALLY

UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS.

I GUESS IT MEANS NOT ENGAGING

CERTAIN PARTS OF BUSINESS

PRACTICES.

IT DOES.

I MEAN IT'S IT'S THERE'S IT MAY

NOT BE AS MUCH OF A DAILY

CHALLENGE BUT THERE ARE

CHALLENGES THAT YOU'RE

CONSTANTLY HAVING TO DEAL WITH

.

YOU TREAT EMPLOYEES HOW YOU

TAKE CARE OF EMPLOYEES THAT

AREN'T OPERATING AS YOU WOULD

WANT THEM TO.

AND SO IT'S AN ONGOING

DISCIPLINE AND A LOT OF HARD

WORK IS JUST STAYING UP.

TIMES ARE CHANGING TRENDS.

CHANGE IS VERY COSTLY HAVING TO

CHANGE OR CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE

SURE THAT COMPETING WITH THE

COMPETITORS SO YOU HAVE TO STAY

.

NOW HERE'S SOMETHING UNIQUE

YOU DID A FEW MONTHS BACK

TALKING ABOUT GIVING AWAY THE

COMPANY.

YES IS ALLUDING TO MY

DAD WROTE A BOOK GIVING IT ALL

THE WAY AND GIVING IT ALL BACK

AGAIN AND HE WAS FEELING LIKE

YOU KNOW, DISCUSSING THINKING

THROUGH THE ESTATE PLANNING HOW

DO I HANDLE ESTATE PLANNING AS

THE AS THE ESTATE CONTINUE TO

GROW AND EXPAND.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT HE

STRUGGLED WITH FOR YEARS AND

WORKED ON HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT

AND GOT TO A POINT WHERE ONE

DAY HE JUST FELT LIKE GOD WAS

SAYING YOU KNOW, WHO'S WHOSE

BUSINESS IS THIS AND IS IT

YOURS GIVE AWAY.

AND HE JUST FELT LIKE, WELL,

IT'S NOT SO IT'S GOD'S AND WHAT

DOES IT LOOK LIKE STRUCTURALLY

TO GIVE IT TO GOD?

AND SO WORKING OUR ADVISORS

WE HANDLED THINGS DIFFERENTLY

THAN WHAT MANY DO.

IT'S NOT A MATTER OF PASSING IT

DOWN AND GIVING IT AWAY TO

GENERATIONS IT'S ACTUALLY

GIVING IT AWAY SEPARATE INTO A

SEPARATE ENTITY WHERE WE MANAGE

IT BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY

OURS.

SO THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS

STRUCTURALLY.

SO THAT'S PART OF WHAT SAID

EARLIER ABOUT IT'S NOT JUST

ABOUT DAY TO DAY OPERATION OF A

BUSINESS IT'S LOOKING FORWARD.

I MEAN THAT'S RADICAL WHAT

YOU'RE ALL DOING.

YEAH AND IT IS WE HAD ALL KINDS

OF ADVISORS SAYING WELL HERE'S

HOW IT IS TYPICALLY AND AND

DAD WAS JUST NOT SLEEPING WELL

AT NIGHT AND WAS SAYING THAT

THAT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

YOU MUST HAVE PEOPLE AND

TALK YOU OUT OF IT.

WELL THERE WERE THOSE THAT

WERE SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT THE

WAY YOU DO IT AND THERE WERE

SOME THAT CAME ALONGSIDE AND

SAID NO, YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT

IDEA AND THERE IS DIFFERENT

WAYS DOING THAT.

AND IT WAS REALLY THE IDEA THAT

IT WASN'T OUR SO IF IT'S NOT

OURS, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE

?

AND THAT IS WHAT LED US DOWN

THE PATH THAT DAD WROTE ABOUT

IN HIS BOOK GIVING IT ALL THE

WAY AND GETTING IT BACK AGAIN.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

YOUR FAMILY JUST SAYS IT'S NOT

OUR BUSINESS.

WOW.

ANOTHER PASSION OF YOURS.

MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE.

MM HMM.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE DC FOR THE

LOCATION.

WELL, IT STARTED WITH A

GROUP THAT ONE OF THE BIBLE

MUSEUM IN DALLAS AND WE WERE

GOING TO HELP AND EVENTUALLY IT

LED TO OUR BEING IN THE LEAD OF

PUTTING IN THIS BIBLE MUSEUM

AND AT THAT POINT WHEN IT KIND

OF BECAME OUR PROJECT, I SAID,

WELL, WHAT IF GOD WANT IN

DALLAS?

I WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT

WE'LL GO WHEREVER I LOOK AT THE

TOP TEN METROS THINKING IT

NEEDS TO BE WHERE IT WILL BE OF

MOST IMPACT AND THE OTHER TWO

CITIES THAT STOOD UP TO ME WERE

NEW YORK CITY AND WASHINGTON

D.C. SO WE WERE LOOKING AT ALL

THREE CITIES DALLAS, NEW YORK

AND D.C. WHEN WE DID A

NATIONWIDE SURVEY AND ASKED

THEM IF THEY WOULD ATTEND IT IN

THOSE THREE CITIES AND IT

SHOWED D.C. IS WHERE IT WOULD

BE BEST.

NEW YORK WAS SECOND, DALLAS WAS

THIRD.

AND IT JUST MAKES SENSE HERE'S

THE HUB OF MUSEUMS IN OUR

NATION WE WILL DO BEST WHERE

MUSEUM GOERS ARE GOING WITH THE

BIBLE MUSEUM.

SO THAT'S WHERE DC BECAME THE

FOCUS AND I I FELT LIKE IF GOD

WANTS IN TIMBUKTU HE'LL SHOW UP

AND HE'LL MAKE IT CLEAR HE HAS

WAYS OF DOING THAT BUT IN THE

MEANTIME WAS FOCUSED ON D.C.

WHEN THE FACILITY THAT WE'RE IN

BECAME AVAILABLE AND WE

ACQUIRED IT AND OFF WE WENT.

HAVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN

BIBLICAL ARTIFACTS HISTORY

ETC.?

NOT NECESSARILY NOW IT

WASN'T NECESSARILY A FOREIGN

CONCEPT.

BROTHER OPENED A CHRISTIAN

BOOKSTORE MODEL THE BEST

SELECTION OF BIBLES IN ANY

RETAIL STORE IN THE COUNTRY IS

MARDELL AND HE HAD MENTIONED A

TIME OR TWO THROUGHOUT THE

YEARS AND WE NEED TO PUT IN A

BIBLE MUSEUM.

SO THERE WAS A THOUGHT THERE

WAS NOTHING THAT WE WERE

PURSUING.

SO IT WASN'T A FOREIGN CONCEPT

BUT NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WERE

PURSUING.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE

EXHIBITS YOU EVER WALK AROUND

AFTER HOURS IT'S QUIET.

IT'S JUST YOU THERE WHERE TO

GO AHEAD AND SEE?

YEAH.

I LOOK AT A SPECIFIC ARTIFACT

THAT IS REALLY NOT EVEN AN

ARTIFACT.

IT'S A REPLICA OF AN ARTIFACT.

IT'S THE ISAIAH SCROLL.

WE HAVE A GREAT REPLICA OF THE

GREAT ISAIAH SCROLL SIMPLY

BECAUSE OF THE POWERFUL WITNESS

THAT IT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE

HERE ARE FIVE WRITERS IN THE

NEW TESTAMENT THAT SAYING JESUS

IS FULFILLING ISAIAH 53.

SOME WOULD HAVE ARGUED THAT

ISAIAH 50 THREE WAS CLEARLY

WRITTEN AFTER CHRIST BECAUSE

IT'S SO CLEARLY DEPICTING

SUFFERING.

YET THE GREAT ISAIAH SCROLL

PREDATES CHRIST 1 TO 200 YEARS

AND IN FIVE WRITERS ARE SAYING

THAT JESUS IS FULFILLING ISAIAH

53.

MY FAVORITE IS LUKE.

LUKE TELLS US WHAT JESUS

HIMSELF SAYS AT THE LAST SUPPER

I MUST FULFILL WHAT WRITTEN

ABOUT ME.

HE WAS NUMBERED WITH THE

TRANSGRESSORS HE'S QUOTING

ISAIAH 53 SO HERE CHRIST

HIMSELF SAYING THAT HE IS

FULFILLING ISAIAH 53 THE GREAT

ISAIAH PREDATES CHRIST 1 TO 200

YEARS.

THAT IS A POWERFUL WITNESS TO

THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE AND I

WOULD ARGUE THAT IT IS A

WITNESS TO IT IS BEING DIVINE.

NOW ISAIAH THE BIBLICAL

TIMELINE PUTS ISAIAH SEVEN

HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE CHRIST I

DON'T HAVE WITNESS OF THAT BUT

GOD CAN DO IT 1 TO 200 YEARS HE

CAN DO IT 700 YEARS WHICH IS AN

INCREDIBLE POWERFUL TESTIMONY

TO THE EVIDENCE OF SCRIPTURE.

IF I MAY ASK YOU ONE LAST

QUESTION YOU'VE GOT A LOT ON

YOU.

I MEAN FROM A BUSINESS

STANDPOINT YOU'VE GOT THE

MUSEUM FAMILY MATTERS.

THERE'S A LOT OF

RESPONSIBILITY.

HOW DO YOU KEEP A LEVEL HEAD,

STAY GROUNDED, HUMBLE OBVIOUSLY

LIKE WHAT ARE YOUR SECRETS TO

NAVIGATING LIFE WAY?

WELL, I'M MARRIED.

MY WIFE HELPS ME ON THAT AND

LETS ME KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO

BE HOME A LITTLE BIT MORE AND

BUT SHE'S FORTUNATELY ABLE TO

TRAVEL WITH ME FAIR AMOUNT SO

THAT THAT HELPS.

BUT WE STILL HAVE YOU KNOW A

SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE

LIKE TO BE THERE FOR HER YOU

KNOW WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE

GOOD PEOPLE AT AT OFFICE.

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET A LOT

OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE

ALLOWED ME TO AND STILL OVERSEE

PORTIONS OF THAT AND HAS FREED

MY TIME UP TO SPEND MORE OF

THAT WITH THE MUSEUM OF THE

BIBLE EFFORT.

SO IT'S IT'S A CONSTANT

CHALLENGE AND I WE COULD FILL

THE SCHEDULE RAPIDLY BUT HAVING

TO SAY NO AND DOING THE RIGHT

AMOUNT BUT NOT TOO MUCH IS A

CONSTANT BALANCE.

WELL, WE'RE GLAD YOU SAID YES

TO THIS INTERVIEW SO THANKS FOR

BEING HERE.

GLAD TO BE HERE.

AND I WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW

IF YOU'D LIKE MORE INFORMATION

ABOUT THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE

CAN VISIT THEIR WEBSITE JUST GO

TO MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE.

DOT AND STEVE, THANKS SO MUCH

FOR BEING WITH US.

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

MY PLEASURE.

THANK YOU.

IT WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE

OF THE 700 CLUB RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

STAY WITH US.

ALWAYS GET THE LATEST FROM CBS

NEWS BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE.

WORLD TOMORROW TO THE POLICE.

COURTNEY WAS HEROIN ADDICT

TO A PSYCHOLOGIST.

SHE WAS BIPOLAR FOR YEARS SHE

HAD TRIED AND FAILED TO GET HER

LIFE IN AND THEN SHE MADE HER

OWN DIAGNOSIS.

COURTNEY SHE WAS QUOTE SICK IN

THE HEAD AND WHAT SHE NEEDED

MOST WAS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.

I JUST LOVED GETTING AS HIGH

AS I COULD.

YES, IT NUMBED THINGS AND I

DEFINITELY ESCAPE REALITY.

IT SEEMS WILLINGHAM WAS

DESTINED TO BE A DRUG ADDICT.

HER PARENTS WERE DIVORCED, WERE

ADDICTS AND PARTYING

CONSTANTLY.

SHE WITH HER DAD WHO DESPITE

HIS ADDICTION MADE COURTNEY

FEEL LOVED.

THAT CHANGED WHEN HE WENT TO

PRISON AND SHE MOVED IN.

HER MOTHER COURTNEY, WHO WAS

TEN, SAYS THAT'S WHEN MENTAL

AND PHYSICAL ABUSE STARTED AND

I'LL BE CRYING THIS MY DAD SHE

WOULD TELL ME THAT HE DOESN'T

LOVE ME.

HE'S A DRUG ADDICT, THAT HE'S A

LOSER.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER BUT IT DID

UPSET ME THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO

HURT ME SO BAD.

I GUESS I JUST FELT UNWORTHY TO

BE LOVED.

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SET

IN AND FROM THEN AROSE A DEEP

SEATED ANGER ONE COURTNEY WOULD

CARRY FOR YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL

HER OUTLETS WERE POT

PRESCRIPTION LIKE XANAX AND

FIGHTING BY AGE 20 SHE'D BEEN

ARRESTED TWICE FOR VIOLENCE

ONCE AGAINST HER MOM ANOTHER

WITH A COWORKER AT THE BAR SHE

WORKED EVEN WHEN STARTED

WORKING AS A BARTENDER SHE

COULDN'T KEEP HER ANGER IN

CHECK.

I WOULD HAVE THESE CRAZY

MOOD SWINGS FROM ALWAYS BEING

UP AND DOWN AND ALL OVER THE

PLACE.

MEANWHILE HER SEARCH FOR

LOVE CONTINUED FOR A WHILE.

SHE FOUND IT THROUGH

STRIPPING.

I WAS DEFINITELY IN THE

VALIDATION THAT I DIDN'T GET IT

GROWING UP.

I DID FEEL WORTHY.

I FELT LOVED.

I HAD GREAT FRIENDS.

I JUST THOUGHT I WAS LIVING

A LIFE THAT WOULD END.

WHEN COURTNEY GOT PREGNANT

WITH HER DAUGHTER AT 21,

COURTNEY WOULD SUFFER MORE

HARDSHIP AND ADDICTION IN THE

COMING YEARS SHE WOULD BE

ARRESTED AND JAILED FOR

NUMEROUS CRIMES INCLUDING

POSSESSION, DUI AND FAMILY

VIOLENCE.

SHE'D ENDURE AN ABUSIVE

MARRIAGE DIVORCE AND HAVE

ANOTHER A SON.

SHE'D ALSO BECOME A HEROIN

ADDICT.

NOW SHE TURNED HER ANGER AND

HATRED TOWARD HER SELF.

I FELT LIKE I WAS A HORRIBLE

PERSON.

I FELT SO WORTHLESS.

I FELT LIKE I COULDN'T BE

NORMAL.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BE

SOBER AND.

AT 25 AFTER GETTING OUT OF AN

ABUSIVE MARRIAGE, SHE GOT OFF

HEROIN AND STARTED SEEING A

PSYCHIATRIST WHO DIAGNOSED HER

AS BIPOLAR AND PRESCRIBED HER

MEDICATIONS TO MANAGE HER

SYMPTOMS AND ANXIETY.

THREE MONTHS LATER SHE

RELAPSED.

ONE DAY SHE WAS ARRESTED WHEN

POLICE FOUND HER IN HER PARKED

CAR UNCOVERED FROM HAVING A

HEROIN OVERDOSE AND HER SON IN

THE BACKSEAT.

SHE WAS CHARGED WITH SIX

FELONIES THAT INCLUDED

POSSESSION, A DUI, VIOLATING

PROBATION AND CHILD

ENDANGERMENT.

SHE ALSO LOST CUSTODY OF HER

CHILDREN.

I FELT SO MUCH SHAME, SO

MUCH REGRET, COULDN'T BELIEVE

THAT I HAD BECOME A HEROIN

ADDICT AGAIN, GOTTEN STRUNG OUT

AGAIN THAT I'D PUT MY CHILD IN

DANGER.

THE WORST OF THE OVERDOSE AND

BEING IN JAIL AWAY FROM MY

CHILDREN WORST OF IT WAS

DEFINITELY ME LOSING THEM

AWAITING TRIAL AND IN ISOLATION

BECAUSE OF COVID.

COURTNEY HAD TIME TO THINK

ABOUT HER LIFE.

SHE STARTED READING DAILY

DEVOTIONS THROUGHOUT THE JAIL.

THERE WAS ONE THAT CAUGHT OUR

ATTENTION.

IT WAS ABOUT THE PEOPLE JESUS

CHOSE TO BE WITH PEOPLE LIKE

HER AND THE PHARISEES THAT

ASKED JESUS HE EIGHT WAS SUCH

SCUM AND WHY DID HE HANG OUT

WITH SINNERS AND TAX COLLECTORS

AND JESUS THEM THAT.

AND WHEN WE CRIED THAT THE

SICK NEEDED A DOCTOR THAT IT

WASN'T THE WORLD THAT NEEDED

DOCTORS IT JUST TOUCHED ME

BECAUSE I HAD ALWAYS BEEN A

SINNER AND.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SICK IN THE

HEAD AND JUST HAD A MESSED UP

MIND AND OUTLOOK TOWARDS LIFE

SO I JUST KNEW THAT HE HAD COME

FOR ME.

I REMEMBER JUST TELLING GOD

JESUS WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I NEED YOU TO LEAD ME.

I NEED YOU GUIDE ME PLEASE WASH

ALL THE UGLY OUT OF ME.

I JUST FINALLY HAD A PEACE

INSIDE THAT I NEVER FELT BEFORE

AND THEN WHEN I'D FILM IN

CHURCH AND I WOULD I'D FEEL HIS

PRESENCE I JUST FINALLY FELT

WORTHY.

IT FELT GOOD REPENTING AND

ASKING GOD TO FORGIVE ME ABOUT

SINS.

IT FELT GOOD AND LIKE I WAS

STARTING FRESH AND I WAS

STARTING OVER.

FACING TWO YEARS IN PRISON,

COURTNEY SPENT THE TWO MONTHS

BEFORE HER HEARING DRAWING TO

GOD AND PRAYING FOR A LIGHTER

SENTENCE AT HER TRIAL.

THE JUDGE DROPPED ALL THE

CHARGES EXCEPT FOR ONE THAT WAS

REDUCED TO A MISDEMEANOR.

HER PROBATION WAS TERMINATED

AND SHE ENROLLED IN A COURT

ORDERED 19 MONTH DRUG TREATMENT

PROGRAM.

WHILE THERE SHE SAYS GOD

DELIVERED HER FROM A 13 YEAR

DRUG ADDICTION.

I THANKED HIM FOR TAKING ME

ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES WAS IN.

I THANKED HIM FOR GET ME

SOBER.

I HAD SUCH A FAVOR WITH GOD.

I GOT MY KIDS BACK WAY FASTER

THAN MOST DE FACTO CASES.

THAT WAS ONLY GOD AS WELL.

SHE SAYS THAT EVERY AREA OF

HER LIFE WAS BY GOD.

SO GOD HE ALSO DELIVERED ME

FROM ANXIETY, DEPRESSION,

ANGER.

I AM COMPLETELY NORMAL NOW.

I AM HAPPY.

I DON'T NEED ANY PRESCRIPTION

PILLS.

I DON'T NEED ANY MEDICATION AND

IT'S AMAZING TO BE NORMAL AND

JUST HOW HE RESTORES AND CAN

RESTORE YOUR MIND HE CAN

RESTORE SANITY, YOUR HAPPINESS,

YOUR PEACE.

MUCH OF HER HEALING THROUGH

FORGIVING THOSE WHO HURT HER

INCLUDING HER MOTHER.

IT RELEASES THE BITTERNESS

AND THE ANGER YOU HAD THOSE

PEOPLE AND YOU CAN FINALLY LIVE

AT PEACE.

IN 2022 COURTNEY MARRIED

CHRIS AND THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL

LIFE TOGETHER.

COURTNEY SHARES HER JOURNEY OF

HEALING AT WOMEN'S CENTERS AND

CHURCHES DECLARING GOD'S POWER

TO TURN ANY LIFE AROUND.

TURN TO GOD JUST TO GIVE YOUR

LIFE TO JESUS THAT NO MATTER

WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH HOW

BAD YOUR LIFE IS, GOD CAN

CHANGE IT ALL IS TO HE IS THE

HEALER YOUR DAUGHTER HE IS YOUR

PROVIDER.

HE IS EVERYTHING.

HE IS EVERYTHING.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR

NAME IS OR WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

GOD IS ABLE TO REDEEM IT ALL.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALLED JESUS

THE REDEEMER TO REDEEM

SOMETHING MEANS TO BUY IT BACK.

YOU KNOW WAS TAKEN FROM YOU AND

NOW GOD'S GOING TO BUY IT BACK

AND RESTORE UNTO YOU EVERYTHING

THAT HE CREATED YOU TO BE.

THAT'S SUCH A WORD, ISN'T IT?

MAYBE TODAY YOU'RE FEELING SOME

OF THE SAME THINGS COURTNEY IS

YOU KNOW YOU GROW UP YOU JUST

GROW UP IN LOST ENVIRONMENT.

I MEAN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE

SAID, YOU KNOW, HER PARENTS

WERE DRUG USERS.

SHE'S A DRUG USER.

SHE'S PROBABLY GOING TO CHANGE.

GOD HAS A WORD FOR YOU TODAY.

JESUS SAID I CAME TO SET THE

CAPTIVES FREE.

AND HE SAID THAT HE CAME THAT

WE WOULD HAVE AND THAT WE WOULD

HAVE LIFE ABUNDANTLY NOT JUST

LIVE BUT LIVE IT ABUNDANTLY

FULL RICH EVERYTHING HE

INTENDED IT TO BE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DEFINED BY

WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DEFINED BY

HOW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TREATED

YOU.

YOU SEE THAT'S THE ENEMY.

THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

HE WANTS TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR

TELL YOU YOU'RE NOT WORTH

ANYTHING.

TELL YOU YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.

THE LINE YOU CAN'T COME BACK.

TELL YOU THAT GOD COULDN'T LOVE

YOU WITH ALL OF THE THINGS THAT

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH IN

SOMETIMES CHOSEN YOU KNOW JESUS

GIVES US A BRAND NEW BEGINNING

FEAR IN NEED OF THAT TODAY THEN

COURTNEY STORY SHOULD BE AN

ENCOURAGING TO YOU BECAUSE

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE GOT WAS

IT EASY?

NO.

YOU KNOW IT TOOK SOME TIME IT

TOOK SOME RENEWING OF HER MIND

RENEWING OF HER MIND.

THAT MEANS YOU SET ASIDE THE

OLD SHE DID WHAT SHE NEEDED TO

DO.

SHE CAME TO JESUS AND SHE SAID

I'M JUST GIVING IT ALL TO YOU

GOD, I'M GIVING THE MESS YOU

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE JUST

HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE FREEDOM

WE HAVE TO GIVE THE MESS, DON'T

WE?

I MEAN WHY WOULD GOD WANT IT

GOD WOULD WANT IT BECAUSE HE

WANTS YOU.

HE CREATE YOU WITH PURPOSE

DIVINE PURPOSE, DIVINE INTENT

TO DO AND BE A PART OF HIS

KINGDOM BE A CHILD.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE THE CHILD

OF SOMEONE THEN EVERYTHING THEY

HAVE BELONGS TO YOU.

YOU KNOW IT'S YOUR

INHERITANCE FROM THEM THAT'S

WHAT GOD'S SAYING TO YOU TODAY.

LET ME HEAL YOU.

LET ME REMOVE ALL THOSE

STUMBLING THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN

YOUR LIFE OVER THE YEARS.

HE'S SPECIAL AND THAT SO COME

TO HIM TODAY AND ASK HIM FOR A

NEW BEGINNING.

HERE I AM.

JESUS, I'M A MESS.

HE ALREADY KNOWS THAT WE'RE THE

ONES WHO NEED TO ADMIT IT.

I AM A MESS I HAVE MADE BAD

CHOICES.

I'VE GONE THE WRONG WAY.

I'VE RUINED OPPORTUNITY I'VE

HAD AND NOW I'M COMING TO YOU

MY BROKENNESS YOU KNOW IT'S A

HUMBLING THING BECAUSE WE TIE

CHOICES WE'VE MADE, HOW WE

BEARD WAS TORN OUT, WHEN THE

CROWN OF THORNS WAS JAMMED ON

HIS HEAD, WHEN THAT SPEAR WAS

STUCK IN HIS SIDE IT WAS FOR

YOU AND FOR ME FOR ALL OF US SO
