TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB

EVERYONE, WELCOME TO HUNDRED

CLUB AMANDA KNOX AND FOR GORDON

ROBERTSON.

ISRAEL IS MAKING IT CLEAR

THE WORLD WILL NOT PLAN ITS

FUTURE.

THE CABINET CATEGORICALLY

REJECTED CALLS FOR A

PALESTINIAN AS A CONDITION FOR

PEACE.

ISRAELI DEFENSE OFFICIALS

SAY HAMAS IN KHAN YOUNIS.

NOW THEY'RE SETTING A DEADLINE

FOR THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES

OR ELSE THEY WILL INVADE RAFAH

.

CBN'S JULIE STAHL REPORTS.

ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT ISSUED A

PROCLAMATION REJECTING

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S PLAN

TO IMPOSE A PALESTINIAN ON

ISRAEL.

THE KNESSET IS EXPECTED TO

RATIFY ON MONDAY.

ISRAEL CATEGORICALLY REJECTS

EDICTS ON A PERMANENT

ARRANGEMENT WITH THE

PALESTINIANS.

SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT WILL BE

ACHIEVED ONLY THROUGH DIRECT

NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE SIDES

WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS.

ISRAEL WILL WILL CONTINUE TO

OPPOSE UNILATERAL RECOGNITION

OF A PALESTINIAN STATE.

RECOGNITION SUCH AS THAT

FOLLOWING THE MASSACRE OF

OCTOBER SEVEN WILL GRANT A

MAJOR PRIZE TO TERRORISTS A

PRIZE THAT HAS NOT BEEN SEEN

BEFORE AND WILL PREVENT ANY

FUTURE PEACE ARRANGEMENTS IN

GAZA.

ISRAELI DEFENSE MINISTER

YOAV GALLANT SAYS 200 MILITANTS

SURRENDERED AT NASSER HOSPITAL

IN YUNIS.

WE CAN SAY TODAY THAT THE

KHAN YUNIS BRIGADE HAS

DEFEATED.

THE KHAN YUNIS BRIGADE IS NO

LONGER FUNCTIONING AS ENTITY IN

ANY WAY.

WAR CABINET MINISTER BENNY

GANTZ IF ISRAELI HOSTAGES ARE

RETURNED BY THE BEGINNING OF

THE THE MUSLIM HOLY MONTH OF

RAMADAN IN MID-MARCH ISRAEL

FORWARD INTO THE RAFAH AREA.

TO THOSE THOSE SAYING THE PRICE

IS TOO HIGH.

I SAY VERY CLEARLY HAMAS HAS A

CHOICE.

THEY CAN SURRENDER, RELEASE THE

AND THIS WAY THE CITIZENS OF

GAZA CAN CELEBRATE THE HOLY

HOLIDAY OF RAMADAN.

MEANWHILE ISRAEL CONDEMNED BY

BRAZIL'S PRESIDENT COMPARING

THE WAR IN GAZA HOLOCAUST.

TODAY THE PRESIDENT OF

BRAZIL BY COMPARING ISRAEL'S

WAR IN GAZA AGAINST HAMAS A

GENOCIDAL TERRORIST

ORGANIZATION TO THE HOLOCAUST.

PRESIDENT SILVA HAS DISGRACED

THE MEMORY OF MILLION JEWS

MURDERED BY THE NAZIS AND HE'S

DEMONIZED THE JEWISH STATE LIKE

THE MOST VIRULENT ANTI-SEMITE

SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.

ISRAELI PRESIDENT ISAAC

HERZOG MET WITH PRIME MINISTER

ON THE SIDELINES OF THE MUNICH

SECURITY CONFERENCE ABOUT

SECURING THE RELEASE OF MORE

THAN 30 HOSTAGES STILL IN HAMAS

HANDS IN GAZA.

MEMBERS OF THE HOSTAGES

ACCOMPANIED HERZOG TO THE

CONFERENCE.

HERZOG ALSO SHOWED A BOOK FOUND

BY THE IDF IN GAZA AND WRITTEN

BY HAMAS CO-FOUNDER AND FORMER

AUTHORITY FOREIGN MINISTER DR.

MAHMOUD AL-ZAHAR.

THE END OF THE JEWS DEPICTS

SWORDS AND DAGGERS PIERCING OF

DAVID AND JEWS DROWNING IN A

SEA OF BLOOD.

THE BOOK MAINLY HAILS THE

FACT FIRST OF ALL WE SHOULD NOT

RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THERE

ARE JEWS AND PEOPLE BUT MOST

PREDOMINANTLY IT HAILS THE

HOLOCAUST AND HANDS WHAT THE

NAZIS HAVE DONE AND CALLS FOR

FOR A NATION TO FOLLOW WHAT THE

NAZI FORCES HAVE DONE.

IN THE HAGUE TODAY HEARINGS

OPENED ON THE LEGALITY OF

ISRAEL'S SO-CALLED OCCUPATION

OF LANDS SOUGHT FOR A

PALESTINIAN STATE THAT WOULD

GAZA AS WELL AS BIBLICAL JUDEA

AND SAMARIA.

JULIE STALL AND CHRIS CBN

NEWS ISRAEL TEAM WILL KEEP US

UPDATED ON DEVELOPMENTS IN.

IN OTHER NEWS THE MYSTERIOUS

DEATH OF VLADIMIR PUTIN'S MOST

OUTSPOKEN POLITICAL OPPONENT IS

STRENGTHENING CALLS FOR AID TO

UKRAINE.

JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU AND

AND WASHINGTON.

JOHN, THANKS.

ANDREW ALEXEI NAVALNY WAS AMONG

THE MOST PROMINENT AND ONE OF

THE LAST OPPOSITION LEADERS

LEFT IN RUSSIA AND MANY BELIEVE

HE WAS MURDERED.

THE NEWS HAS SPARKED A GLOBAL

AND CALLS TO STAND UP TO

VLADIMIR PUTIN.

SOYBEANS DALE HURD HAS.

THREE DAYS AFTER REPORTS

NAVALNY'S DEATH IN A RUSSIAN

ARCTIC PENAL COLONY WHERE HE

WHERE HE WAS SERVING A 30 YEAR

PRISON SENTENCE HIS FAMILY

STILL HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO

VIEW HIS BODY.

A LONDON NEWSPAPER QUOTED HIS

SOURCES DESCRIBING NAVALNY'S

BODY AS BRUISED BODY WAS TAKEN

BY AN INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE

AND THEY.

THEY ARE CONDUCTING SOME SORT

OF INVESTIGATIONS WITH HIM HIM.

RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES SAY

NAVALNY DIED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

SYNDROME BUT MOST BELIEVE HE

WAS MURDERED IN A VIDEO WIDOW

SAID.

WE KNOW EXACTLY WHY PUTIN

KILLED ALEXEI.

WE WILL TELL YOU SOON.

NAVALNY WAS THE LEADING VOICE

IN RUSSIA DESPITE BEING

POISONED IN 2020 AND NEARLY

DYING.

HE RETURNED TO TO RUSSIA

AGAINST THE ADVICE OF MANY AND

WAS ARRESTED AND THEN JAILED IN

ITS HARSH PENAL SYSTEM.

THE DEATH OF THE NAVALNY

YESTERDAY WAS A REMINDER OF

BRUTALITY OF PUTIN AND HIS

GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT.

NAVALNY SEEMED IN PERFECT

HEALTH JUST DAYS BEFORE HIS

DEATH SEEN ON A MONITOR

LAUGHING AND CRACKING JOKES

ABOUT HIS TRIAL.

THE NEWS PROVOKED OUTRAGE

AROUND THE WORLD.

INDEPENDENT RUSSIAN HUMAN

RIGHTS GROUP SAYS HUNDREDS OF

PEOPLE FOR PROTESTING NAVALNY'S

DEATH.

REPUBLICAN LINDSEY GRAHAM TOLD

CBS FACE THE NATION THE U.S.

NEEDS PUTIN HARD BY DESIGNATING

RUSSIA A STATE SPONSOR A STATE

SPONSOR OF TERRORISM

DESIGNATION AS A GAME.

IT WOULD ALLOW MORE SANCTIONS.

IT WOULD ALLOW THE NAVALNY

FAMILY TO GO TO U.S. COURT AND

SUE PUTIN'S RUSSIA FOR KILLING

OF THEIR LOVED ONE.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN MIKE

TURNER SAID HE PRAYED NAVALNY'S

WIDOW IN GERMANY AND THAT THE

U.S. SHOULD RESPOND MILITARY

SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE.

THE SENATE HAS PASSED AID BILL

BUT THE HOUSE HAS ROLLED OUT

ITS OWN VERSION AS A RESULT OF

NAVALNY'S DEATH THAT THAT WE

SHOULD EVEN BE MORE STRONG IN

FUNDING UKRAINE AND PASSING

HOUSE IN THE SENATE.

MOST OF RUSSIA'S OPPOSITION

IS EITHER DEAD IN OR IN PRISON.

WITH NAVALNY'S DEATH MANY ARE

WONDERING IS THE END OF

POLITICAL DISSENT IN RUSSIA?

ALEXEI WAS ONCE ASKED WHAT HE'D

TELL RUSSIANS IF HE WERE KILLED

FOR CHALLENGING VLADIMIR PUTIN.

HE ANSWERED YOU'RE NOT TO GIVE

UP.

IF THEY DECIDE TO KILL ME IT

MEANS WE ARE INCREDIBLY STRONG

.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, DALE.

WELL, HERE AT HOME A TRAGIC

SHOOTING HAS MINNEAPOLIS

COMMUNITY REELING.

OFFICERS AND A PARAMEDIC DIED

SUNDAY WHEN AN ARMED MAN SHOT

THEM THEM FROM INSIDE HIS HOME

IN BURNSVILLE.

THE OFFICERS RESPONDING TO A

DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE CALL TO

FIND THE HEAVILY ARMED SUSPECT

BARRICADED

AND SEVEN CHILDREN.

NEGOTIATIONS WENT ON FOR

SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE FIRING

BEGAN.

THE SUSPECT WAS ALSO KILLED AND

ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER WOUNDED.

THE REST OF THE FAMILY SURVIVED

?

WELL, MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE

ON THE RISE HERE IN AMERICA.

SOME PEOPLE GO UNDIAGNOSED AND

UNTREATED BECAUSE THEY DON'T

WANT TO VISIT A MENTAL

PROFESSIONAL.

NOW AN INFLUENTIAL HEALTH PANEL

RECOMMENDS PRIMARY PHYSICIANS

BEGIN SCREENING FOR ANXIETY AND

DEPRESSION.

CBN REPORTER LORIE JOHNSON

EXPLAINS.

CASES AND DEPRESSION JUMPED

SIGNIFICANTLY DURING PANDEMIC.

THIS INCREASE COULD BE A

REASON THE US US PREVENTIVE

SERVICES TASK FORCE DECIDED

RECENTLY TO RECOMMEND PRIMARY

CARE PROVIDERS BEGIN SCREENING

PATIENTS FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS

FOLLOWS AN EARLIER

RECOMMENDATION TO ALSO SCREEN

FOR POSSIBLE.

IN THE U.S., AN 40% OF

ADULTS REPORT SYMPTOMS OF

ANXIETY A DISPROPORTIONATE AND

CONSTANT FEAR OVER EVERYDAY

EVENTS.

DEPRESSION, PERSISTENT

FEELINGS OF SADNESS OR OF

INTEREST IN EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES

OR BOTH.

WHEN INTO OUR OFFICE THERE'S A

LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T KNOW

THAT ARE RELATED TO DEPRESSION

AND ANXIETY.

PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS ARE

OFTEN THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

PHYSICAL NEEDS.

THEY'RE SEEN AS AN IMPORTANT

RESOURCE HEALTH ISSUES AS WELL.

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF

PATIENTS KNEW THAT THEY COULD

BRING UP THEIR CONCERNS WITH US

IN THE OFFICE YOU KNOW, AS

PRIMARY CARE.

BUT IT IS ALSO MY

RESPONSIBILITY TO DO DEPRESSION

AND ANXIETY SCREENING ON THEM.

ANXIETY USUALLY INVOLVE ASKING

THE PATIENT TO RATE THE

FREQUENCY OF FEELINGS LIKE

NERVOUSNESS, RESTLESSNESS.

DEPRESSION SCREENINGS CENTER ON

THINGS LIKE SADNESS AND

THOUGHTS OF HURTING YOURSELF.

MICHELLE MADE ME FEEL ME

FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE TALKING

TO HER ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH.

PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS CAN

REFER PATIENTS FOR THERAPY,

PRESCRIBE MEDICATION OR BOTH.

GIVEN THE DOZENS OF

ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND,

ANTI-ANXIETY DRUGS AVAILABLE

FINDING THE RIGHT TREATMENT CAN

INVOLVE A BIT OF TRIAL AND

ERROR.

THAT'S WHY SOME HEALTH CARE

PROFESSIONALS USE DNA TESTING

TO STREAMLINE.

IT CAN SHOW WHICH

MEDICATIONS WORK BEST PATIENTS

WITH SIMILAR GENETIC PROFILES.

IT'S IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT

TOOL FOR THEM TO USE WHEN

THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT

TREATMENT PROTOCOLS OR HOW DO I

WANT TO TREAT THIS PATIENTS NOT

ONLY WITH WHICH DRUGS THAT THEY

WANT TO PICK BUT ALSO HOW THEY

DOSE THESE SPECIFIC DRUGS.

SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFERING

FROM ANXIETY OR DEPRESSION

REACH TO COUNSELORS,

PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PSYCHIATRISTS

THOSE AREN'T THE ONLY ONES WHO

CAN HELP.

SOMETIMES A A VISIT TO A

TRUSTED PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER

MAY BE JUST AS EFFECTIVE.

SO FAR HAS BEEN GREAT.

I FEEL A LOT LOT MORE MYSELF.

I ENJOY THINGS THAT I USED

TO ENJOY BEFORE.

LORI CBN NEWS.

IMPORTANT REPORTING SO MUCH

LORI.

WELL ONE WEEK AFTER A SHOOTER

OPENED FIRE INSIDE LAKEWOOD

CHURCH PASTOR JOEL OSTEEN

DECLARED FEAR IS NOT GOING TO

THE SUSPECT WHOM OFFICIALS SAID

ISSUES DIED WHEN TWO OFF DUTY

OFFICERS RETURNED FIRE.

CONDITION.

YESTERDAY IN THE FIRST SERVICES

WE LOOKED UP THAT LITTLE SEVEN

YEAR OLD BOY SAMUEL THAT WAS

INJURED HERE LORD AND NO FAULT

OF HIS OWN OWN.

HE'S IN YOUR HANDS.

OH, I PRAY FOR ALL THE FAMILY

BUT I KNOW HER FAMILY'S.

THE LORD WE KNOW YOU'RE IN

FOR THAT FAMILY AND JUST

COMFORT FOR ALL ARE HERE TRULY

MOVING AND ANDREW EXEMPLIFYING

WORDS IN MATTHEW FIVE WHERE HE

TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES TO LOVE

AND BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU.

AMEN, JOHN AMEN.

DO ECHO THOSE PRAYERS OF PASTOR

JOEL PRAYING FOR THAT SEVEN

YEAR OLD SAMUEL.

YOU CAN SEE WHEN PASTOR OSTEEN

WAS PRAYING THERE WHEN WE PRAY

FOR FOR OTHERS SOMETHING

STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

WELL AS AMERICANS WE

SOMETIMES FORGET THE ENORMOUS

PRICE OUR OUR FOUNDERS PAID TO

CREATE A NEW NATION.

AUTHOR AND FOX NEWS ANCHOR

BRETT BAER SAYS CURRENT LEADERS

COULD LEARN FROM THOSE BRAVE

MEN PRESIDENT GEORGE

WASHINGTON.

WENDY GRIFFITH TALK WITH BAER

ABOUT ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK TO

RESCUE THE CONSTITUTION GEORGE

WASHINGTON AND THE FRAGILE

AMERICAN EXPERIMENT.

AS AN AUTHOR FOX

NEWS ANCHOR, BRETT BAER SEEKS

TO BRING HISTORICAL FIGURES

LIKE HENRY AND PAUL REVERE TO

LIFE THIS TIME AND TO RESCUE

THE CONSTITUTION.

HE FOCUSES ON GEORGE WHO

ACCORDING TO BAER, IS THE ONLY

ONE WHO COULD HAVE CONVINCED A

RAGTAG ARMY TO FIGHT THE

BRITISH AND BELIEVE THEY COULD

WIN.

HE HAD THIS ABILITY TO FIRE

THEM UP AND HE HAD AN ABILITY

IN IMPOSING THIS BELIEF THAT

LIBERTY WAS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

THESE GUYS SOME OF THEM DIDN'T

HAVE SHOES THEY HAD BLOODY FEET

IN THE MIDDLE OF VALLEY FORGE

IN THE WINTER THEY OVERTOOK THE

BRITISH FORCES.

WHAT WAS WAS IT ABOUT GEORGE

WASHINGTON ABOUT HIS CHARACTER

,HIS PERSON THAT WAS SO UNIQUE

THAT WAS THE GLUE THAT HELD

EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

GEORGE WAS THIS STOIC FIGURE

WHO WAS WELL-RESPECTED AND IN

HIS SILENCE HE FOUND COMMON

GROUND WITH THE DIFFERENT

DISPARATE GROUPS TO BE ABLE TO

LINK EVERYBODY TOGETHER FOR THE

GOOD AS A MAN OF FAITH,

WASHINGTON ALSO BELIEVED GOD

HIS SIDE.

YOU LOOK AT THE MIRACLE OF

BRINGING TOGETHER ALL OF THESE

PEOPLE AND RATIFYING THIS

DOCUMENT AROUND A VERY TENSE

TIME THAT HAD TO BE A DIVINE

INTERVENTION OF.

AND THE FACT THAT HE EVEN

SURVIVED BECAUSE HE HE WASN'T

JUST COMMANDER IN CHIEF FROM

AFAR.

I MEAN HE WAS ON THE FRONT

LINES WITH HIS MEN AND HE HE

NEVER GOT INJURED.

YEAH AND THAT ALSO WAS PRETTY

DIVINE INTERVENTION, YOU WOULD

THINK.

YOU KNOW, A LESSON FOR OUR

TIMES THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

THE BEST YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE

TO BE PERFECT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO HUSTLE AND

HAVE FAITH AND.

THAT BELIEF HELPED

WASHINGTON AND HIS ARMY TO

DEFEAT THE BRITISH.

BUT EVEN WITH A DECLARATION OF

INDEPENDENCE THE NEWLY FORMED

STATES OF AMERICA APPEARED

ANYTHING BUT UNITED OR

INDEPENDENT.

THAT TIME RIGHT AFTER THE

WAR IT WAS REALLY SPLIT AND

PEOPLE WERE WONDERING WHETHER

THE US WHICH WAS NOT EVEN THE

UNITED UNITED STATES AT THAT

POINT WAS GOING TO GO BACK TO

BRITISH RULE.

DESPITE ALL OF THIS, BAER

SAYS GEORGE WASHINGTON HELD THE

TOGETHER AND IN 1787 CAME THE

DRAFTING SIGNING OF THE U.S.

CONSTITUTION.

IT'S A UNIQUE A UNIQUE

DOCUMENT IN THE WORLD AND THERE

ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY IT

NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED AND

DOESN'T WORK RIGHT.

BUT IF YOU LOOK REALLY CLOSELY

IT'S HELD THE TEST OF TIME AND

.

IT HAS BEEN A LIVING AND

BREATHING DOCUMENT THAT ENABLED

OUR COUNTRY TO IN LIBERTY.

WHAT CAN OUR LEADERS IN

WASHINGTON AND REALLY WHAT CAN

ALL OF US OF US LEARN FROM

GEORGE WASHINGTON?

DISSENT IS IS OKAY DON'T BE

AFRAID OF WHAT FEELS LIKE A A

VERY PARTIZAN TIME OF DIFFERENT

OPINIONS BUT LISTEN FIRST AND

TRY TO FIND SOME COMMON GROUND.

WASHINGTON THAT DID THAT BETTER

THAN ANYONE.

AND YOUR BOOK IS CALLED TO

RESCUE AND YOU BELIEVE THAT

GEORGE WASHINGTON THE RESCUER

HE WAS THE RESCUER.

HE'S THE REASON THAT WE THAT WE

HAVE A CONSTITUTION.

HE IS THE ONE THAT ESSENTIALLY

GOT IT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE

AND WITHOUT WASHINGTON WE

WOULDN'T HAVE A COUNTRY.

WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS.

RIBERA IS CERTAINLY BECOME A

PROLIFIC OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

HIS LATEST IS CALLED TO RESCUE

THE CONSTITUTION AND GEORGE

GET FIVE TO SAVE 25% ON YOUR

FIRST YEAR AND ENROLL NOW BOB

AND CAROL ARGUED ABOUT

EVERYTHING.

THEY DIDN'T SEE EYE TO EYE ON

ANYTHING.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN LIKE EACH

OTHER.

THE COUPLE'S MARRIAGE WAS

MISERABLE UNTIL THE DAY THEY

TOOK A BOAT RIDE TOGETHER

SEPTEMBER 19TH, 1999 WE TOOK

THE BOAT OUT THE RIVER FOR A

CRUISE.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

IT IT CHANGED OUR LIVES

FOREVER.

CAROL AND I WERE MARRIED ON

24TH 1984.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DAY IN

MARITAL BLISS WAS INSTEAD THE

BEGINNING OF A OF A VOLATILE

REUNION.

WE ARGUED ABOUT EVERYTHING

WE ARGUED ABOUT NOTHING.

CAROL WANTED TO GET MARRIED AND

.

I DIDN'T AND I FIGURED IF I

MARRIED HER THAT THE ARGUMENT

WOULD STOP.

WE'D GET ALONG A LITTLE

BETTER AND OBVIOUSLY THAT

DIDN'T WORK OUT VERY WELL.

WE'RE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

WE'RE JUST TOTAL OPPOSITE TO TO

MANY PEOPLE ARE TOTAL OPPOSITES

BUT WE DON'T SEE EYE EYE ON

ANYTHING.

WHAT MADE MATTERS WORSE WAS

THAT I GREW UP IN AN ITALIAN

FAMILY AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE

MEN, THE WOMEN, WHATEVER THEY

WANTED AND THAT'S WHAT I

EXPECTED.

OUR WORLD VIEWS WERE SO

DIFFERENT AND WE REALLY DIDN'T

EVEN LIVE LIKE A MARRIED

COUPLE.

WE WERE ROOMMATES.

WE JUST I THINK I THINK THERE

WAS ALWAYS A ALWAYS A SPARK OF

LOVE THERE BUT WE JUST DIDN'T

LIKE EACH OTHER.

I THINK WE BOTH WANTED TO BE

RIGHT AND WE BOTH COULDN'T

UNDERSTAND THE OTHER PERSON

WASN'T THINKING THE SAME.

AS CAROL BECAME AND MORE

BITTER I ESCAPED THROUGH

DRINKING ALCOHOL AND STAYING

GONE.

I WAS A PILOT.

I WAS ABLE TO UP THE LONGEST

TRIP SO I COULD PICK UP OUR

STAGES, GO ON AS MUCH AS I.

THE MORE THAT I TRIED TO

CHANGE HIM, THE MORE THE MORE

THAT HE STONEWALLED.

HE DISENGAGED AND THAT'S WHY HE

HE DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO COME

HOME.

ALCOHOL JUST SEEMED TO DOLE

THE PAIN.

DRINKING WAS A REAL PROBLEM

FOR ME.

IF HE HAD ONE DRINK HE WAS

GOING TO HAVE TEN DRINKS AND

THEN HE WOULD JUST NOT BE FUN

TO BE AROUND FOR THE NEXT 15

YEARS.

WE DRIFTED FURTHER AND

FURTHER APART.

SORT OF SETTLED INTO WHAT WAS

MEDIOCRE OR LESS THAN MEDIOCRE

.

EVERYTHING CHANGED ON 19TH,

1999.

IT STARTED WITH US ATTENDING MY

FRIEND'S WEDDING AT THE

BEGINNING OF THE WEDDING BILLIE

GOES GOES DOWN TO THE FRONT OF

THE CHAPEL AND HE GAVE HIS

TESTIMONY.

HE JUST TALKED ABOUT WHAT JESUS

HAD DONE IN HIS LIFE AND I JUST

KNEW GOD WERE SPEAKING TO ME

GOD WAS TELLING ME, BOB, IT'S

TIME TO GET OFF THE FENCE.

IT'S TIME TO QUIT DRINKING.

AND IT WAS JUST PROBABLY THE

CLEAREST I'D EVER HEARD GOD

SPEAK AND I.

I JUST KNEW THAT MY LIFE WAS

GOING TO CHANGE LATER THAT.

WE TOOK OUR BOAT OUT ONTO

THE OHIO RIVER FOR A CRUISE.

CAROL WHAT I FELT GOD HAD

SPOKEN TO ME THAT DAY AND

THINKING WELL THAT SOUNDS

REALLY GOOD.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT

THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

ONE COULD ONLY HOPE.

BOB WENT TO START THE BOAT BUT

THE ENGINE WAS DEAD.

THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND

AND AND I FIXED THE FUEL LEAK,

CLEANED EVERYTHING UP AND I

THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO

BE FINE AND BOB HIT THE STARTER

SWITCH.

THE BOAT EXPLODED BLEW UP

FLAMES EVERYWHERE AND CAROL I

LOOKED AND SHE WAS ACTUALLY

FLYING BACKWARDS OFF THE BOAT

AND I'M GUESSING PROBABLY 20 OR

25 FEET FROM THE BOAT.

SHE WAS JUST IN THE AIR GOING

BACKWARDS.

I WASN'T A SWIMMER.

I DIDN'T HAVE A LIFE JACKET ON.

WAS PRETTY SURE I WOULD DROWN

AND THAT'S WHEN I CRIED OUT TO

GOD AND AND I SAID LORD, PLEASE

DON'T LET IT END LIKE THIS.

I WAS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED

BY FLAMES AND I.

I SAW CAROL COME TO THE SURFACE

IN THE WATER.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT BUT JUST

IT WAS SERENE LOOKING AROUND

LOOKING AT A BURNING BOAT NOT

WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING AT

THE MOMENT.

NEARBY BOATERS SAW THE ACCIDENT

AND CALLED 911.

HELPED US TO SHORE AND AN OFF

DUTY NURSE TENDED TO US.

I WAS REMARKABLY UNSCATHED.

CAROL, HOWEVER SUFFERED FIRST,

SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS.

SHE SPENT A WEEK IN THE

HOSPITAL RECOVERING AND THE

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE WAS UP

CALL FOR BOTH OF US.

WE KNEW THAT GOD US FOR A

PURPOSE.

THERE WAS JUST NO QUESTION

ABOUT IT.

CAROL AND I WERE IN TOTAL ON

THAT.

ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES WE

EVER AGREED ON ANYTHING.

ALL WHEN YOU ALMOST LOSE

SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE EVEN

EVEN THOUGH THE MARRIAGE WASN'T

GOOD, WE WERE BOTH IMMEDIATELY

ON ON BOARD TO FIND A WAY TO

HAVE A GOOD MARRIAGE.

WE JUST IMMERSED OURSELVES IN

GOD'S WORD AND EVERYTHING WE

COULD TO GET CLOSER TO JESUS.

WE BEGAN A FAITH JOURNEY THAT

DAY GOD WAS TEACHING ME THINGS

THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MYSELF

AND BOB WAS DOING THE SAME

THING.

ALL OF A SUDDEN WE FOUND

OURSELVES TO BE ON THE SAME

PAGE.

WE WERE CHASING AFTER THINGS WE

HAD DONE IN OUR OWN WAY FOR

LONG AND ONCE WE STARTED BEING

OBEDIENT TO WHAT WHAT GOD WAS

TELLING US WE FELL IN LOVE OVER

THE NEXT YEARS OUR MARRIAGE

WENT FROM BEING SOMETHING THAT

CAUSED US PAIN BECOMING

SOMETHING WE CHERISH TO THIS

DAY AS A A RESULT IN 2014 WE

STARTED A MINISTRY WE MERCY TO

HELP OTHERS STRUGGLING IN THEIR

MARRIAGE BY WANT TO PRAY FOR

EVERY EVERY COUPLE THAT'S

WATCHING THIS LORD GOD HAS

TRANSFORMED EVERY AREA OF OUR

LIVES WHICH MADE IT EASIER FOR

US TO DO WELL IN.

WHEN WE DO THIS GOD'S WAY IT'S

BEAUTIFUL WE DO IT OUR WAY.

MAYBE NOT SO MUCH.

LOVE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT WHEN

IT'S UNSELFISH LIKE FINDING THE

CURE FOR CANCER.

YOU JUST WANT WANT TO SHOUT IT

FROM THE ROOFTOPS THAT IF GOD

COULD SAVE OUR MARRIAGE HE

COULD SAVE EVERYBODY'S

MARRIAGES.

WE WENT THROUGH FIRE AND WATER

YET YOU TOOK US TO A PLACE OF

ABUNDANCE AND LIFE WE'RE LIVING

NOW.

WE'RE LIVING A LIFE OF

ABUNDANCE FOLLOWING GOD'S WAYS

AND SHARING IT WITH OTHER

PEOPLE AND WE CAN'T HAVE A

GREATER JOY THAN THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT

THOSE THOSE FIRE AND WATER

PLACES IN OUR LIVES AND HE'LL

BE RIGHT THERE WITH WITH US.

HE'LL GO THROUGH IT WITH US.

IT DOESN'T FEEL SOMETIMES WHEN

YOU'RE IN THAT PLACE AND VERY

OFTEN JUST LIKE BOB, WE'VE

CREATED THE SITUATIONS

OURSELVES AND

US AND YET HIS MERCY JUST LIKE

THEY HAVE TITLED THEIR OUTREACH

TO OTHER COUPLES HIS REACHES

OUT TO US AGAIN AND AGAIN AND

AGAIN INVITING US TO A PLACE OF

DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HIM AND

ALLOWING HIM TO CHISEL AWAY AND

HONE INTO WHAT HE WANTS US TO

BE.

SO WE'RE READY TO SPEND

ETERNITY WITH HIM.

WE'RE JUST HERE ON A JOURNEY.

THIS IS A PART TIME WE'RE DOING

HERE.

WE'RE NOT STAYING HERE AND THIS

ISN'T WHAT IT'S BUT IT IS

GETTING US READY FOR WHERE

WE'RE GOING.

TODAY THERE ARE SITUATIONS

IN YOUR OWN LIFE WHERE YOU HAVE

YOU HAVE A DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT.

MAYBE YOUR MARRIAGE HASN'T

TURNED OUT TO BE WHAT YOU

THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE.

I CHUCKLED WHEN HE TALKED TO

HIS WIFE AND CAROL SAID WELL,

WE ONLY HOPE THINGS GET BETTER

BECAUSE YOU SEE CAROL HAD TO

CHANGE TO IT'S NEVER A ONE WAY

STREET BECAUSE WE LEARN OFF OF

AND TO POKE INTO EACH OTHER'S

SHORTCOMINGS WE LEARN WHAT GETS

THE OTHER PERSON FURIOUS POKE

AND WE PRODDED THAT AND AND WE

COME IN AND BECOME INSTEAD OF

BECOMING ONE.

THAT'S WHAT MARRIAGE IS

SUPPOSED TO BE.

BECOMING JESUS RIGHT IN THE

MIDDLE OF IT ALL WHEN WE DO IT

OUR OWN WAY.

IT'S A MESS.

I MEAN BOB IS SO RIGHT ABOUT

THAT.

IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT

WAY AND SO PART OF OUR JOURNEY

HERE IS WOOING US TO THE FATHER

HEART WOOING US TO WHAT HE'S

TRYING TO DO IN OUR HEARTS AND

LIVES.

YOU CAN'T GIVE AWAY WHAT YOU

DON'T HAVE SO YOU CAN'T TO A

MARRIAGE ANYTHING WORTHY UNLESS

YOU LET GOD DO ON YOU.

SO TODAY IF IF YOU'RE

STRUGGLING IF YOU'RE HURTING IN

YOUR MARRIAGE, ASK GOD CHANGE

YOU.

ASK GOD TO CHANGE YOU

KNOWING THAT HARD PLACES TO DO

THAT.

IF IF YOU'RE IN A HARD PLACE

ASK HIM TO KEEP YOU THERE UNTIL

HE.

HE FINISHES THE WORK THAT HE'S

GOT PREPARED FOR YOU.

EACH OF US IS INTENTIONALLY

PLACED WHERE WE ARE OUR LIVES

TO BECOME MORE THAN WHO WE ARE

ON OUR OWN.

JESUS WANTS TO FILL YOUR HEART

WANTS TO FILL YOUR MIND WANTS

WANTS TO HEAL YOUR HURTS YOU

KNOW SOMETIMES WE BRING INTO A

RELATIONSHIP THAT HAVE HAPPENED

TO US WHEN WE'RE CHILDREN YOU

CAN FIND HEALING FOR THAT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUNCTION IN

THAT AND YOU SURELY DON'T NEED

TO KEEP IT AS AN EXCUSE FOR WHY

YOU ARE THE WAY YOU ARE AND DO

YOU DO?

WE GET TO CHANGE.

WE GET TO WE HAVE A SAVIOR WHO

DIED TO SET US FREE TO REDEEM

US BACK FROM THOSE HARD PLACES

SO WE COULD LIVE IN HIM AND FOR

HIM HE CAN LIVE THROUGH US AND

PREPARED FOR AN ETERNITY WITH

HIM.

THAT'S MORE THAN WE COULD COULD

ASK FOR OR IMAGINE.

YOU KNOW IT BEGINS WITH

SURRENDER.

WILL YOU PRAY THAT WITH ME

RIGHT NOW JUST PRAY THIS

PRAYER.

JESUS MY LIFE LIFE IS A MESS.

I'M UNHAPPY WITH THINGS.

I'M UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF, WITH

PEOPLE AROUND ME, MY JOB, THE

I SAID WHAT WHAT'S WHAT'S THE

HEART MURMUR?

HE SAID IT IS A HOLE IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE.

HE SAID IT'S RISKY AND

COMPLICATED.

THE DOCTOR ALSO WARNED THAT

WITHOUT SURGERY TO CLOSE THE

HOLE IN ADRIAN'S HEART HE COULD

DIE.

AS A MOTHER I WAS DEVASTATED

TOO BECAUSE THIS IS MY BABY AND

I COULDN'T LOSE LIKE.

I FELT LIKE MY WORLD WAS

ENDING.

ALEXANDRA HER HUSBAND COULD NOT

AFFORD AN OPERATION TO REPAIR

THEIR SON'S HEART AS ADRIAN

GREW.

ALL THEY COULD DO WAS WAIT AND

HOPE.

AS A TODDLER HE SEEMED VERY

TIRED AND AND HIS HEART WAS

ALWAYS POUNDING AND RACING

EXTREMELY FAST.

AT TIMES I CRIED

FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS APART?

ADRIAN'S OLDER BROTHER

ALEJANDRO DECIDED TO TO HELP IN

THE ONLY WAY HE KNEW HOW.

HE PRAYED I COULD GOD THAT I

LOVED HIM VERY MUCH AND THAT HE

DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN

TO HIM.

ADRIAN WAS REFERRED TO A

HEART HOSPITAL IN EL SALVADOR

SUPPORTED BY OPERATION

BLESSING.

BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP WE WERE

ABLE TO PAY FOR ADRIAN TO

RECEIVE FREE SURGERY TO REPAIR

THE HOLE IN HIS HEART.

WHEN MY SON CAME OUT OUT OF

SURGERY I ASKED THE DOCTOR IF

HE WAS OKAY AND HE SAID THE

OPERATION WAS A SUCCESS.

NOW ADRIAN IS A HEALTHY,

HAPPY THREE YEAR OLD WHO LOVES

TO PLAY WITH HIS BIG BROTHER

AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF HAVING

ANY HEART PROBLEMS.

I AM HAPPY MY LITTLE BROTHER

IS HERE WITH ME.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

IT'S AMAZING THAT THERE ARE

PEOPLE SO GENEROUS THAT THEY

THEY'RE HELPING.

WELL CHANCES ARE YOU'VE NOT

HEARD OF WENTWORTH CASWELL.

HE HAS A RESUME UNLIKE ANY

OTHER AMERICAN IN HISTORY.

HE AS A DISPATCH RIDER LIKE

PAUL REVERE FOUGHT IN ONE OF

THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLES IN

THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

HE WAS ALSO A TEACHER,

JUDGE, AN ARCHEOLOGIST AND A

LIFELONG PUBLIC SERVANT.

IN SPITE OF ALL HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENTS, HE WAS LARGELY

FORGOTTEN NOW.

RACISM WAS A DIRTY WORD.

I DON'T LIKE TO BRING IT UP

OFTEN BUT I SEE NO OTHER REASON

WHY SOME OF THE CITIZENS IN

TOWN WOULD HAVE PUT THESE

ROADBLOCKS UP FOR ME IN TO JUMP

OVER IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT.

IN THE SMALL TOWN NEW HAMPSHIRE

LIES A GRAVESITE OF A MAN WHOSE

MEMORY LIKE HIS OWN TOMBSTONE

WAS NEARLY BURIED AND FORGOTTEN

.

A MAN OF GREAT REPUTATION AND

EVEN GREATER ACCOMPLISHED MEANS

EVERYTHING ABOUT ONCE WHICH HAS

REAL IS CRIES.

EXCEPTIONALISM.

WENTWORTH CHADWELL WAS BORN

1746.

HIS FATHER HOPE STILL WAS WAS

THE SON OF A FREED SLAVE WHO

STILL WAS AN ARCHITECT AND

CARPENTER WHO MADE SURE THOUGH

HIS SON WAS OF A MIXED RACE

THAT WENTWORTH BE FORMALLY.

FORMAL EDUCATION WAS RARE IN

18TH CENTURY COLONIAL AMERICA

MUCH MORE SO OF COLOR.

THOUGH IT REALLY WASN'T MUCH OF

PUBLIC SCHOOLING BACK THEN.

AND FOR WENTWORTH TO ACTUALLY

BE STUDYING UNDER A HARVARD

GRADUATE ALL OF THE MAIN

SUBJECTS READING, WRITING,

ARITHMETIC THAT WAS ALMOST OF

BACK THEN FOR EVEN A YOU KNOW,

A CAUCASIAN.

IN 1995, NEW HAMPSHIRE GRADUATE

STUDENT ERIC AND WROTE HIS

THESIS ON THE REMARKABLE LIFE

OF WENTWORTH AS WELL.

SO IT BECAME KIND OF THIS

INTRIGUING STORY OF WHO WHO WAS

THIS CHARACTER WHAT WAS IT THAT

ENABLED HIM TO BE AND TO

SUCCEED IN THIS SOCIETY, THIS

ENVIRONMENT?

AFTER HIS SCHOOLING,

WENTWORTH RETURNED HOME TO

NEWMARKET TO BECOME A

SCHOOLTEACHER AND RAISE A

FAMILY.

HE DEVELOPED SUCH A GOOD

REPUTATION THAT IN 1768 HE WAS

ELECTED AS THE TOWN CONSTABLE

MAKING HIM THE FIRST MAN OF

COLOR EVER ELECTED TO PUBLIC IN

THE U.S..

DURING THIS TIME COLONIAL

AMERICA WAS ENGAGED IN THE

REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

CHARLES WELL WAS TO THE PATRIOT

CAUSE AND BECAME A DISPATCH

RIDER LIKE MUCH BETTER KNOWN

PAUL REVERE.

HE EVEN FOUGHT AS AND ONE OF

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS IN

THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR THE

BATTLE OF SARATOGA.

WE DO KNOW THAT HE SERVED THREE

MONTHS UNDER COLONEL JOHN

LANGDON WHO WAS KIND OF A

FAMOUS NEW HAMPSHIRE PATRIOT

AND MILITARY OFFICER.

HOW DOES OF GREAT CHARACTER

AND REPUTATION NEARLY VANISH

FROM AMERICAN HISTORY.

GERRY AND BOGUS HAS A THEORY

BUT HIS STORY DISAPPEARS FROM

HISTORY DISAPPEARS TELLS US

ANOTHER STORY AS WELL THAT THAT

TELLS US THAT WE DON'T VALUE

THAT STORY WHEN IT COMES TO OF

COLOR.

IN THOUSAND TWO NEWMARKET

LOCAL RICHARD ALPERIN

DISCOVERED HIS HOME WAS BUILT

ON THE FOUNDATION WHERE

CHADWELL IS HOME ONCE SAT.

DISCOVERY ENCOURAGED HIM TO

DIG DEEPER INTO HISTORY.

THE ULTIMATE LEE HE FOUND

THE GRAVESITE OF WENTWORTH AND

HIS FAMILY.

THE SITE HAD BEEN POORLY

KEPT.

IT WAS TERRIBLE.

I MEAN IT WAS MEAN IT WAS

COMPLETELY OVERGROWN.

MOST OF THE HEADSTONES WERE

BROKEN AND SEVERAL OF THEM MOST

OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY BURIED.

SO THAT'S HOW IT AND NAIVELY

SAID TO MYSELF I'M GOING TO FIX

UP THE GRAVEYARD.

SOME CITIZENS IN NEWMARKET

DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD PUT UP

BARRIERS TO MY EFFORTS TO FIX

UP THE GRAVEYARD AND AND AND

BRING BACK THE MEMORY OF

WENTWORTH TAZEWELL.

THEY TRIED TO GET ME ARRESTED

BECAUSE I WAS OF A LAW THAT

SAID THAT YOU CAN'T GO INTO A

PRIVATE FAMILY GRAVEYARD

WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM A

PROVEN LIVING DESCENDANT.

AFTER FOUR YEARS OF HARD WORK

AND WITH THE HELP OF LIVING

RICH RAISED FUNDS TO CLEAN UP

AND RESTORE THE GRAVESITE.

IN 2007 HE CONVINCED THE STATE

HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO GRANT THE

RESTING PLACE AN HISTORICAL

MARKER.

IT WAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT FOR TOO

LONG FORGOTTEN FOR HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENTS ABOUT AS BEING

A FOUNDING FATHER OF THE TOWN.

I JUST DON'T FEEL IT'S RIGHT

THAT TOWN SHOULD NOT EVEN KNOW

WHO WAS HERE BEFORE BEFORE US

BECAUSE IT'S DUE DUE TO THESE

PEOPLE WHO CAME BEFORE US THAT

WE ARE HERE TODAY.

CHAIRS WELL SERVED IN PUBLIC

OFFICE IN EVERY YEAR OF HIS

ADULT BUT ONE AMONGST HIS

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS.

HE HE WAS AN AUDITOR AND

HISTORIAN, AN ASSESSOR, AN

ARCHEOLOGIST A JUDGE AND A

CORONER.

HE WAS A RESPECTED THE

COMMUNITY THAT WAS OFTEN A

REPRESENTATIVE OF ONE FORM OR

ANOTHER IN HIS TOWN GOVERNMENT

.

HE SERVED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT

CAPACITIES SO HE WASN'T

NECESSARILY JUST TO BE AT THE

TOP AND NOTHING ELSE WAS GOOD

ENOUGH FOR HIM.

HE WOULD SERVE IN WHATEVER

ROLE WAS DEEMED TO BE NECESSARY

AND APPROPRIATE.

I MEAN WE'RE A COUNTRY

VALUES FIRST AND NOT TO IT

KNOWLEDGE OF A MAN AT THAT

TIME.

ALWAYS JUST MIND BLOWING.

HOW DO WE NOT KNOW THESE

STORIES THOUGH HE WAS NEARLY

FORGOTTEN.

FOLKS LIKE RICH ALPERIN FOUGHT

TO REVIVE THE MEMORY OF

WENTWORTH CRESWELL AND AND TO

MAKE SURE THAT THE CHAIR'S WELL

NAME ENDURES.

UNDERDOGS NEED TO BE HELPED UP

AND FOR WHAT THIS DID FOR HIS

ENTIRE LIFE.

HE NEEDS TO BE REMEMBERED.

HE NEEDS TO BE HELPED UP IN IF

I CAN DO IT IN ANY WAY I CAN.

I'M GOING TO DO IT ANY WAY I

CAN.

WENTWORTH AS WELL.

I LOVE STUDYING AMERICAN

HISTORY BUT ADMITTEDLY I WAS

UNFAMILIAR WITH WITH THIS

GENTLEMAN AND I FEEL BETTER

KNOWING OF THE HISTORY THAT HE

CONTRIBUTED TO AND PEOPLE ARE

THANKFUL FOR MEN LIKE RICHARD

WHO PERSEVERED

NIGHT ON THE CBN NEWS CHANNEL.

ONE MINUTE TOM RYAN AND HIS

WIFE WERE LAUGHING WITH THEIR

FIVE YEAR OLD SON TIG WAS

RUNNING AROUND ROOM PLAYING

CHASE.

THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE

UNTHINKABLE THRUSTING THIS

FAMILY INTO A WORLD OF PAIN.

THE SPORT OF WRESTLING IS IS

ABOUT CHOSEN SUFFERING CHOOSING

TO DO THE HARD THING TIME AND

TIME AGAIN BEING ABLE TO

EXECUTE UNDER THE TOUGHEST

CONDITIONS.

OHIO STATE WRESTLING COACH

TOM RYAN KNOWS WRESTLING.

HE'S A TWO TIME NCAA COACH OF

THE YEAR AND IN 2015 LED THE

BUCKEYES TO THE NATIONAL

CHAMPIONSHIP.

HE'S ALSO WELL ACQUAINTED

WITH SUFFERING IN THOUSAND FOUR

TOM WAS THE WRESTLING COACH AT

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK

AT THE TIME TOM AND HIS WIFE

HAD FOUR CHILDREN.

THEIR FIVE YEAR OLD SON TIG WAS

A HEALTHY BOY WHO LOVED TO

WRESTLE AND LOVED HIS FAMILY.

16TH EVERYTHING CHANGED.

WE WERE AT THE DINNER TABLE AND

WERE LAUGHING AND TALKING ABOUT

THE DAY GOT UP FROM THE DINNER

TABLE AND HE STARTS RUNNING

AROUND.

MY WIFE STARTS CHASING OR

LAUGHING GET UP, GET HIM AND

SHE HIDES BEHIND A WALL AND HE

COMES AROUND AGAIN AND SHE

STARTLES HIM AND PICKS HIM UP

AND WITHIN SECONDS SHE WAS

SCREAMING.

SO I TAKE HIM I PUT HIM ON THE

COFFEE, CHECK HIS PULSE.

MY WIFE CALLS NINE ONE MORE AND

I SEE HE'S UNCONSCIOUS.

HE'S NOT BREATHING.

AND I I START TO DO CPR ON HIM.

STILL IN SHOCK.

THE RYANS FOLLOWED THE

AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE

THEY WOULD RECEIVE THE NEWS.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET WHEN

THAT WHEN THE DOCTOR COMES OF

THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WE'RE

WAITING AND HE AND HE YOU KNOW,

HIS HEAD'S NOT UP AND HE'S

LOOKING DOWN AND WE KNEW RIGHT.

WE KNOW AND HE JUST SAID HEY,

WE'RE SORRY.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST SORRY I

WAS LOST AND.

YEAH.

TIG HAD SUFFERED A FATAL

FATAL HEART ATTACK DUE TO A

GENETIC ANOMALY.

IT WAS AN EMPTINESS.

WE WERE LOST.

NOW THE RYANS RYANS HAD TO

DELIVER THE NEWS TO THEIR OTHER

CHILDREN.

THAT'S WHEN TOM'S SON ASKED HIM

A POINTED QUESTION.

JAKE ASKED ME A COMMON SENSE

QUESTION WOULD MY AND I OPEN

THE CAR DOOR?

HE WAS RIGHT THERE AND HE SAID

.

WHERE'S TEAM?

THE QUESTION CAUSED TOM DEEPLY

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH.

THE THE FACT THAT I COULDN'T

ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION LIKE

THAT IT ROCKED ME AND IT BECAME

IT BECAME IT WAS THE START OF

MY JOURNEY AND IT WASN'T

NECESSARILY TO FIND GOD.

IT WAS JUST REALLY FOR ME IT

WAS A SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

STILL GRIEVING.

TOM CONSIDERED EVERY OPTION.

I TOOK THE PIECE OF PAPER ON

SIDE ONE AS A GOD AND ON SIDE

TWO THERE IS NO GOD.

WE ARE HERE BY CHANCE.

THERE IS DIVINITY OR THERE IS

CHANCE.

AND THAT WAS THE APPROACH I

TOOK TO ANSWERING THE QUESTION

OF MY EIGHT YEAR OLD SON THAT

WANTED TO KNOW WHERE HE WAS.

I INTELLIGENCE RIGHT.

SO LET ME GO TO THE SMARTEST

MINDS.

WHAT DO THEY THINK?

I LOOKED I STUDIED EVOLUTION.

I GOT GOT DEEP.

IT IS NOT ILLUSION TOM BEGAN

READING CHRISTIAN AUTHORS AS

WELL.

THE CASE FOR CHRIST WAS ONE

OF THE FIRST BOOKS I READ.

I READ THE CASE FOR CREATOR OR

IN THE CASE THE CASE FOR FAITH

AND PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE.

ULTIMATELY THE FACTS THE FACTS

OVERWHELMING ON THE SIDE OF GOD

WHILE IN HIS CAR EIGHT MONTHS

AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS SON

PRAYED, I KNEW THAT JESUS WAS

REAL SO I JUST IN MY CAR JUST

PRAYED THE PRAYER THAT JESUS I

CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU THAT

I NEED YOU YOU KNOW THAT I NEED

YOU AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WHO

YOU WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.

TOM FOUND COMFORT IN HIS

BIBLE SPECIFICALLY IN THE

GOSPEL OF JOHN.

WHEN I READ JOHN FELL IN LOVE

ULTIMATELY IT WAS LOVE THAT

PULLED.

I FELT THE DEEPEST LOVE I HAD

NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE IN

READING JOHN FOR YEARS THE

GRIEF STILL REMAINED.

HOWEVER, TOM BEGAN EXPERIENCING

A NEW PEACE PLACE OF THE

SUFFERING.

THERE'S NO WAY THERE'S UNDER NO

NO CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE I'VE EVER

SACRIFICED A CHILD WRITING THE

FACT THAT OUR GOD DID THAT WAS

SOMETHING THAT REALLY DREW ME

EVEN FURTHER TO THE FAITH LIKE

YOU TOOK THE MOST PRECIOUS

THING AND GAVE IT FOR RANSOM

FOR FOR SOMETHING YOU NEED TO

KNOW.

TODAY AS TOM LEADS OF THE

NATION'S BEST COLLEGE WRESTLING

PROGRAMS, HE TAKES IN BEING

ABLE TO CONFIDENTLY ANSWER THE

QUESTION HIS SON ASKED LONG

AGO.

THE GOOD NEWS AND THIS IS A

LOVE STORY THAT'S THE LOT OF

THE GOOD NEWS I KNOW EXACTLY HE

IS.

I KNOW WITHOUT QUESTION I'LL

SEE HIM AGAIN.

THERE'S NO THERE'S NO IN MY

MIND.

AND I WOULD SAY TO TO ANYONE

THAT LOST A CHILD THAT'S

STRUGGLING YEAH, IT'S HARD,

PAINFUL AND IT'S NOT IT'S NOT

GOING TO GO AWAY AND IT'S 19

YEARS REMOVED.

I CAN DRIVE.

THINK ABOUT A TIME WE HAD THE

RESTROOM AND JUST BREAK DOWN

CRYING IT'S A NEVER GETS EASY

BUT GOD'S REAL.

WHO AM I?

LOOK AT LOOK AT ALL THE

BLESSINGS I HAVE I HAVE SO MANY

BLESSINGS I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR

WHAT I HAVE AND HE'S BEEN THE

CENTER OF ALL OF IT.

INCREDIBLE TO THINK AFTER

TOM ENDURED WHAT HE DID IN

LOSING HIS SON IN SON IN THE

INCREDIBLE PAIN THAT COMES WITH

THAT THAT HE WOULD ULTIMATELY

EXPERIENCE AN OVERWHELMING LOVE

FROM GOD AND EMBRACE IT AND ANY

AND ANY ANGER HE HAD TOWARD GOD

DUE TO THE DEATH OF HIS SON.

HE SAID LORD, I'M GOING TO LOVE

YOU BACK ANY WAY YOU KNOW ISN'T

LIFE LIKE THAT SOMETIMES HERE'S

A FAMILY ENJOYING FELLOWSHIP

WITH EACH OTHER PLAYING WITH

THEIR SON AND MOMENTS LATER

JUST THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS

AND THEY LOSE HIM AND TOM HAD A

CHOICE.

HE COULD HOLD THIS ANGER.

HE COULD HOLD ON TO THE GRIEF

WITHOUT LOOKING TO CHANGE.

BUT HE SAID LORD, I'M GOING

TO EXPLORE WHO YOU ARE.

ARE YOU THE TRUTH?

I'M IN SORROW I AM IN GRIEF.

WHO ARE YOU?

AND TOM TALKED ABOUT HOW HE

FELT THIS OVERWHELMING LOVE

LOVE FROM THE GOSPEL OF JOHN I

FOUND THAT'S SO INTERESTING

THAT READING JOHN IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT THOMAS EXPERIENCED

THE LOVE OF CHRIST IN A

POWERFUL WAY THAT HE DID NOT

ANTICIPATE.

NOW IN THE 16TH CHAPTER OF

JOHN, JESUS IS SPEAKING TO HIS

DISCIPLE OLES AND HE SAYS TO

THEM I KNOW YOU ARE IN SORROW.

I KNOW YOU ARE IN GRIEF AND

THIS IS BECAUSE HE WAS TELLING

THEM HE'D BE LEAVING GOING AWAY

AND HE'D BEEN TELLING THEM WHAT

THEY WERE TO EXPERIENCE AND HE

AND HE SAID TO THOSE DISCIPLES

YOU ARE IN GRIEF.

I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN SORROW.

TOM WAS IN SORROW AND GRIEF.

PERHAPS YOU ARE TOO.

BUT JESUS FOLLOWED UP WITH UP

WITH HIS DISCIPLES AND HE SAID

BUT LISTEN IT IS GOOD THAT I'M

GOING AWAY.

AND THEY MUST HAVE BEEN BAFFLED

BY JESUS SAYING THAT IT'S FOR

OUR GOOD THAT YOU'RE LEAVING.

HE SAID IT'S GOOD BECAUSE WHEN

I.

I WILL SEND THE COUNSELOR.

THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT THE

COUNSELOR WILL GUIDE YOU INTO

ALL TRUTH.

HE WILL CAMP COUNSEL AND GUIDE

YOU.

DISCIPLES EXPERIENCED THAT AND

TOM EXPERIENCED THAT HE WAS ON

A PURSUIT OF KNOWING WHO GOD

WAS AND HE FELL IN LOVE LOVE

WITH JESUS EVEN IN HIS GRIEF I

JUST WANT TO URGE YOU TODAY NO

MATTER WHAT HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE

YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH WHO YOU'VE

LOST, YOU CAN BRING THAT PAIN

TO GOD.

WE'RE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO IN

THE WORD OF GOD BRING GOD YOUR

PAIN, YOUR ANGER, YOUR

FRUSTRATION, YOUR SORROW HE CAN

RECEIVE THE EMOTIONS YOU ARE

FEELING AND HE WILL WORK WITH

US THROUGH THOSE EMOTIONS.

MAY I PRAY FOR YOU IF YOU'RE

EXPERIENCING THAT GRIEF AND

SORROW THAT YOU CANNOT ENDURE

ANY LONGER?

I WANT TO PRAY THAT THE HOLY OF

GOD WILL MEET YOU IN A

MAGNIFICENT AND LOVING WAY JUST

LIKE TOM EXPERIENCED THE

HEAVENLY FATHER.

I PRAY FOR THOSE NOW IN GRIEF

AND IN SORROW WHERE THEY FEEL

FORGOTTEN BY YOU OR ABANDONED

ARE WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE

LORD GOD WE JUST SAW A STORY

WHERE WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT

MOVED IN A POWERFUL WAY UPON A

HEART THAT WAS IN PAIN AND IN

SORROW BUT WILLING TO HEAR FROM

YOU IN SPITE OF IT.

AND I PRAY LORD TODAY PEOPLE

HEAR YOUR VOICE IN AN

UNMISTAKABLE WAY AND THEIR

LIVES ARE CHANGED FOREVER TO

PRAY THIS IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER.

PLEASE GIVE US A CALL 707,000

WE LEAVE YOU WITH JOHN 16 IN

THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE

TRIBULATION BUT BE A GOOD CHEER

I HAVE OVER COME THE WORLD
