MYSELF OF TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB

.

EVERYBODY WELCOME TO THE

SHOW AMANDA KNOX IN FOR GORDON.

AMERICA CAN'T STOP ISRAEL FROM

GOING TO WAR WITH HEZBOLLAH.

THAT'S WHAT A U.S. ENVOY TOLD

LEBANESE OFFICIALS.

STILL THE U.S. IS URGING ISRAEL

TO FIND A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION

WITH THE TERROR GROUP.

AT THE SAME TIME,

ONE ISRAELI OFFICIAL IS WARNING

AMERICA TO KEEP AN EYE ON IRAN

THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE

FUTURE OF THE WORLD.

CBN'S STAHL REPORTS THE U.S. IS

WARNING HEZBOLLAH THAT IT CAN'T

STOP ISRAEL FROM TO WAR TO STOP

THE TERROR GROUP'S DAILY

ATTACKS ON NORTH.

HEZBOLLAH'S PROVOCATIONS

THREATEN TO DRAG THE ISRAELI

LEBANESE PEOPLE INTO A WAR THAT

THEY DO NOT WISH TO.

STILL, DEFENSE SECRETARY

LLOYD AUSTIN IS URGING VISITING

DEFENSE MINISTER TO SEEK A

DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION IN ANOTHER

WAR BETWEEN ISRAEL AND

HEZBOLLAH COULD EASILY BECOME A

REGIONAL WAR WITH TERRIBLE

CONSEQUENCES FOR THE MIDDLE

EAST.

YOAV GALLANT SAYS ISRAEL IS

DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH

SECURITY THE NORTH AND BRING

BACK SOME 80,000 CITIZENS

EVACUATED FROM THEIR HOMES.

HE URGED THE U.S. TO FOCUS ON

HEADING OFF ANOTHER IRAN

GETTING NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

THE GREATEST TO THE FUTURE

OF THE WORLD AND THE FUTURE OUR

REGION IS IRAN.

AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT.

INSIDE THE COUNTRY ISRAEL'S

SUPREME COURT RULED TUESDAY

THAT ULTRA-ORTHODOX YOUNG MEN

MUST NOW SERVE IN THE MILITARY.

COMMUNITY WHICH NOW HAS 65,000

YOUNG MEN HAS EXEMPT FROM

MILITARY DRAFT SINCE 1948 WHEN

ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER ALLOWED

400 STUDENTS TO STUDY FULL

TIME.

AS A SPIRITUAL BLESSING TO

THE STATE AND BROADER SAID THAT

THERE NEEDS TO BE EQUALITY.

HOW CAN THERE BE TENS OF

THOUSANDS WHO ARE BEING EXEMPT

FROM MILITARY SERVICE WHEN

EVERYONE ELSE SERVING?

FORMER KNESSET MEMBER DOV

LIPMAN TELLS CBN NEWS SOME OF

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU'S COALITION PARTNERS

ARE ULTRA-ORTHODOX WHO DON'T

WANT THEIR PEOPLE DRAFTED.

THERE'S NO WAY THESE

ULTRA-ORTHODOX PARTIES CAN STAY

A GOVERNMENT WHERE THAT'S THE

GOVERNMENT POLICY AND THAT

COULD COLLAPSE THE GOVERNMENT

AND LEAD TO A NEW ELECTION.

AND IN WHAT COULD BE

CONSIDERED A LOCAL U.S. VICTORY

FOR ISRAEL.

DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE JAMAAL

BOWMAN WAS DEFEATED IN A NEW

YORK PRIMARY RACE.

BOWMAN HAD ACCUSED ISRAEL OF

GENOCIDE IN GAZA AND DEFEAT IS

SEEN AS A REFERENDUM ON

PROGRESSIVES ATTITUDES TOWARD

ISRAEL.

JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM WELL CERTAINLY LOST

IN THE NEWS IN RECENT MONTHS

ARE THOSE 80,000 ISRAELI

CITIZENS EVACUATED AND

DISPLACED AND THIS RULING FROM

ISRAEL'S COURT THAT ULTRA

ORTHODOX YOUNG MEN MUST NOW

SERVE.

I MEAN IT'S BEEN SINCE 1948

THIS LAW WAS IN EFFECT.

SO THINGS ARE REALLY HEATING

UP.

MANY IN LEBANON CONCERNED ABOUT

WAR.

SO LET'S PLEASE KEEP THE ENTIRE

REGION PRAYER.

IN OTHER NEWS, THE

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

IS SEARCHING DOZENS OF SUBJECTS

OF CONCERN WHO CROSS THE

SOUTHERN BORDER FROM GRAHAM HAS

THAT STORY AND MORE FROM THE

CBN NEWSROOM.

ANDREW DHS SAYS MORE THAN

400 MIGRANTS ENTERED THE U.S.

FROM CENTRAL ASIA THROUGH A

SMUGGLING AFFILIATED WITH THE

TERROR GROUP ICIS.

AGENTS HAVE ARRESTED ABOUT 150

OTHERS ARE KNOWN TO BE IN 17

STATES.

THE WHEREABOUTS OF MORE THAN 50

ARE STILL UNKNOWN.

MOST WHO CROSSED THE BORDER

WERE ALLOWED TO STAY BECAUSE

THEY WERE NOT ON A TERROR WATCH

LIST.

RECENT ATTACKS IN RUSSIA SUCH

AS THIS WEEKEND'S ON CHURCHES

AND SYNAGOGUES IN THE REPUBLIC

OF DAGESTAN HAVE RAISED

CONCERNS ABOUT ISIS AND ITS

OFFSHOOTS.

BALLOT SECURITY IS A MAJOR

CONCERN THIS ELECTION.

MANY STATES ARE TAKING STRONGER

MEASURES SINCE 2020 TO ENSURE

RESULTS CAN BE TRUSTED.

NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT

CAITLIN BURKE TELLS US THE

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS ALSO

GETTING INVOLVED IN AMERICA

ELECTION EQUIPMENT IS

CONSIDERED CRITICAL

INFRASTRUCTURE GIVEN ITS

IMPORTANCE THE DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT ENLISTED A RESEARCH

TEAM FROM TWO MARYLAND

UNIVERSITIES.

THEIR TASK A THREE YEAR RISK

ASSESSMENT FOCUSED SPECIFICALLY

ON THE VULNERABILITIES OF

VOTING MACHINES.

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL THE

THINGS THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO

WRONG.

THOSE COULD BE AN ACTOR TRYING

TO DISRUPT SOMETHING MAYBE YOU

KNOW TRYING TO BREAK A MACHINE

OR TRYING TO VOTE SOMEBODY THAT

YOU KNOW WHO'S DEAD OR THINGS

LIKE THAT.

BUT THEY COULD ALSO BE HONEST

MISTAKES.

TEAM MEMBER DR. NATALIE

SCALA OF TOWNSEND UNIVERSITY

TELLS CBN NEWS THIS IS THE

PERFECT ASSIGNMENT FOR ACADEMIA

RATHER THAN GOVERNMENT

OFFICIALS TO TACKLE.

FOR ACADEMICS WE LOOK AT IT

BASED PURELY ON DATA, YOU KNOW,

SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A

FAVORITE CANDIDATE.

WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE AN

AGENDA TO PUSH WE JUST WANT

THAT VOTE TO STAY THE WAY IT IS

THE MOMENT SOMEBODY COUNTS.

CAST IT TO THE MOMENT WE COUNT

IT.

WE WANT NOTHING TO HAPPEN THERE

AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE SURE

THAT THAT HAPPENED THAT THAT

INTEGRITY STAYS THERE SO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN HAVE THEIR

VOTES.

THE PROJECT'S FOCUS INVOLVES

OPTICAL SCANNERS USED BY

PERCENT OF VOTERS AND BALLOT

MARKING DEVICES USED BY THE 30%

.

WE ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM

THE YOU KNOW, LIKE THE AVERAGE

AMERICAN STANDPOINT AND MAKING

SURE THAT YOU FEEL CONFIDENT

AND SECURE IN THE PROCESSES

THAT WE HAVE IN THE PAST.

KAYLA'S LAB PROVIDED

TRAINING FOR MARYLAND POLL

WORKERS, A PROJECT SHE SAYS

WILL ADD TO THEIR CURRENT

RESEARCH.

WE DON'T WANT POLL WORKERS TO

MAKE HONEST MISTAKES AND THOSE

ARE THE MISTAKES, RISKS OR

PROBLEMS.

AND WE ALSO WANT POLL WORKERS

TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IF

SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG.

THIS IS THE OF THE LAB'S THREE

YEAR PENTAGON GRANT.

THE TEAM WILL CONSIDER CYBER

PHYSICAL AND INSIDER THREATS

AND OVERALL APPROACH HOPEFULLY

RESULTS IN PROTECTING OTHER

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE

THE GRID.

CAITLIN BURKE CBS

WANT TO TURN NOW TO THE SEVERE

FLOODING IN THE MIDWEST AND

PASTOR COLE BAILEY LEADS

LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH.

IT USED TO BE LOCATED IN

CITY BEACH.

THAT IS BEFORE THE STORM CAVED

IN ITS ROOF.

THIS IS ONE CLASSROOM.

THIS WILL BE THE EAST SIDE

CLASSROOM.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN THROUGH

ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE.

THERE WAS NO COMPARISON WHEN

MICHAEL CAME THROUGH AND IT

RIPPED OFF 100,000 ROOFS IN AN

HOUR OR WHATEVER IT WAS, THESE

NUMBERS WERE INSANE.

WE KNEW WE WERE IN BIG

TROUBLE.

AFTER 24 YEARS OF SERVING THIS

COMMUNITY, HURRICANE MICHAEL

FOUNDATION IN.

FAITH, HOWEVER, REMAINED

UNSHAKEN.

JUST DAYS AFTER THE STORM HIT

HURRICANE SEASON IS COMING AND

MORE THAN ANYTHING THANK FOR

THE 700 CLUB STAKE CONNECTED

WITH CBS NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS

OUR PLATFORMS 35 YEARS AGO THIS

MONTH.

CHINA'S GOVERNMENT CRUSHED A

PRO-DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT IN

TIANANMEN SQUARE.

TODAY CHINA IS TRYING TO

SILENCE DISSIDENTS IN THE WEST

THROUGH A NETWORK OF SPIES.

DALE HURD INTERVIEWED ONE OF

THOSE SPIES FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE

REPORT.

THIS IS THE FIRST FORMER

MEMBER OF CHINA'S SECRET POLICE

SPEAK PUBLICLY ABOUT BEIJING'S

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN TO SILENCE

CHINESE PRO-DEMOCRACY VOICES

OVERSEAS CALLING HIMSELF ERIC.

HE WAS AN AGENT FOR CHINA'S

MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY OR

FIRST BUREAU FROM 2008 UNTIL

LAST YEAR WHEN HE DEFECTED TO

AUSTRALIA.

MY JOB WAS TO TAKE THE

INTELLIGENCE ABOUT THE COUNTRY

WAS EATING AND THE COMPANIES

THE GROUPS THERE.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO TO INFILTRATE

THESE GROUPS, MAKE FRIENDS AND

TRY TARGETS FOR RETURN TO

CHINA.

ERIC WAS COERCED INTO

BECOMING AN AGENT 2008 AFTER

HIS ARREST FOR SUPPORTING A

PRO-DEMOCRACY AND GIVEN A

CHOICE HELP THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST OR CCP CATCH

DISSIDENTS ABROAD OR GO TO

JAIL.

HE CHOSE THE FORMER TAKING ON

FAKE IDENTITIES AS A PROPERTY

EXECUTIVE AND AN ANTI-COMMUNIST

FREEDOM TO LURE DISSIDENTS TO

COUNTRIES WHERE THEY COULD BE

ABDUCTED RETURNED TO CHINA.

BUT BECAUSE HE SECRETLY

PROTECTED AND SAYS NO ONE WAS

ARRESTED BECAUSE OF HIS WORK,

HE WAS CONCERNED HIS HANDLERS

WOULD BECOME SUSPICIOUS AND HE

DECIDED TO DEFECT.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE

RESPONSIBLE ANY TARGETS BEING

RETURNED TO CHINA AND.

I TRIED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND

THAT THEY MADE THE MY BOSSES

PICTURES OF ME.

ERIC'S TESTIMONY CONFIRMS OUR

REPORTING AND

OTHERS THAT A CHINESE

GOVERNMENT SPY NETWORK IS

THREATENING ENTRAPPING AND EVEN

KIDNAPING CRITICS OF THE

CHINESE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT.

THESE ARE KIND OF THE

METHODS BEING USED BY THE CCP.

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT AN

ALLEGATION WE'RE MAKING.

THIS IS WHAT THEIR OFFICIAL

DOCUMENT STATE.

LAURA HOWARTH WHO TRACKS

CHINESE TRENDS NATIONAL

REPRESSION FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS

GROUP SAFEGUARD DEFENDERS, SAYS

WE CAN ASSUME THERE ARE AGENTS

LIKE ERIC OPERATING IN THE US

BUT THESE CCP AGENTS ARE ONLY

PART OF A LARGER CAMPAIGN.

THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT

CALLED THE UNITED FRONT THAT

THE UNITED IS SOMETHING THAT'S

BEING DEFINED BY THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST PARTY ONE OF ITS

SECRET OR MAGIC WEAPONS AND

ESSENTIALLY ITS TASK IS TWO

THINGS.

ON THE ONE HAND EXPAND THE

SO-CALLED CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OF

CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY SO

CO-OPTING OR INFLUENCE SAYING

POLITICIANS, MEDIA, ACADEMIA

ENTREPRENEURS.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND AND THIS

IS SOMETHING THAT IS OFTEN

OVERLOOKED WE TALK ABOUT UNITED

FRONT.

ITS TASK IS ALSO TO CRACK

DOWN ON CRITICS RIGHT TO

SILENCE THEM, TO DIVIDE THEM.

AN AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

SURVEY OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN

24 UNIVERSITIES IN EUROPE AND

NORTH AMERICA FOUND THAT MANY

LIVE IN FEAR OF SURVEILLANCE,

HARASSMENT OR INTIMIDATION BY

CHINESE AGENTS.

IT'S UNCLEAR HOW MANY OF THE

SO-CALLED CHINESE STATIONS USED

TO CONTROL DISSIDENTS ARE STILL

OPERATING IN THE.

ON PAPER IT MIGHT BE LESS THAN

FIVE.

THE ONE ABOVE A NOODLE SHOP IN

NEW YORK WE SHOWED YOU LAST

YEAR WAS FINALLY SHUT DOWN BY

AUTHORITIES.

POLICE STATIONS OR SO-CALLED

POLICE STATIONS IS REALLY THE

TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

WE NEED TO TAKE BROAD VIEW AND

UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WIDER

PICTURE LOOKS LIKE AND THE

AMOUNT PROXIES AND NETWORKS

THAT THE CHINESE PARTY STATE IS

.

BOB FU, THE FOUNDER AND

PRESIDENT OF THE TEXAS MINISTRY

CHINA AID HELPED LEAD THE 1989

TIANANMEN SQUARE PROTEST.

AS A STUDENT HE STILL FACES

HARASSMENT BY CHINESE AGENTS.

35 YEARS LATER PRESENTS A FEW

MONTHS EVEN.

I HAD BEING HARASSED AND

RECEIVING THREATS WITH TEXT

MESSAGES AND ALSO CCP AGENTS

BOOKED HOTELS UNDER MY NAME AND

THEN CALL THE POLICE.

FROM NEW YORK TO LOS ANGELES

FROM WASHINGTON D.C. TO

HOUSTON.

BASICALLY FOR BOMB THREATS

SAID BOB FU WAS ABOUT TO SET

OFF SLOW BOMBS PRO-DEMOCRACY

ACTIVIST LIJIAN JI IN LOS

ANGELES WHO CHINESE AGENTS HAVE

TRIED TO KILL THREE TIMES TOLD

US CHINESE AMERICANS ARE

SURROUNDED BY CONSTANT THREAT

OF DANGER.

THE IN A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO HIS

FORMER COLLEAGUE STILL TRYING

TO HARASS AND TRAP CHINESE

DISSIDENTS, ERIC ENCOURAGED TO

RECOGNIZE THE NATURE OF THE

COMMUNIST PARTY THAT IT'S A

FASCIST TOTALITARIAN PARTY AND

THAT CARRYING THESE ILLEGAL IN

SECRET ACTIVITIES IN VARIOUS

COUNTRIES NOT GOOD FOR THEM.

AND HE CHALLENGES THEM TO

INSTEAD DO GOOD FOR HUMAN

CIVILIZATION.

BEIJING'S CONTINUED REPRESSION

OF OVERSEAS CHINESE BEGS THE

QUESTION IF THOSE CHINESE WHO

FLED COMMUNISM FOR FREEDOM

STILL LIVE IN FEAR OF THE

CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY ARE

THEY REALLY FREE?

DALE HURD CBN NEWS WELL WELL

AS I MENTIONED DALE IN OUR

NEWS TEAM HAVE BEEN SOUNDING

THE ALARM ON THIS CONCERN TWO

YEARS AND NOW WITH A FORMER

MEMBER OF THE SECRET POLICE

COMING AND SHARING THIS IT'S

CAUSE FOR CONCERN FOR AMERICANS

AND BOB FU BEING HARASSED FOR

35 YEARS.

I WAS IN TIANANMEN SQUARE IN

CHINA A FEW YEARS AFTER THE

PROTEST AND IT WAS A POWERFUL

EXPERIENCE JUST TO BE THERE.

SO IN THE HISTORY BUT I'M

REFLECTING BACK ON THAT THAT'S

A LONG TIME AGO AND 35 YEARS

LATER THERE'S STILL ACTIVE

HARASSMENT TOWARD HIM.

IT SAYS A GREAT DEAL.

COM OR TEXT THE WORD PRAY TO

71777.

ANDREW THANK YOU ASHLEY.

WELL A FEW AGO BESTSELLING

AUTHOR MITCH ALBOM WAS IN OUR

STUDIO AND I HAD THE HONOR OF

INTERVIEWING HIM ON 700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE.

TODAY I'D LIKE TO SHARE THAT

INTERVIEW WITH YOU ARE 700 CLUB

AUDIENCE.

TAKE A LOOK.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING

AUTHOR COLUMNIST, PLAYWRIGHT

AND SCREENWRITER MITCH ALBOM

HAS SOLD OVER 1 MILLION BOOKS

TWO OF WHICH WERE MADE INTO

AWARD WINNING TV MOVIES MOST

KNOWN FOR TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE

,THE BEST SELLING MEMOIR OF

ALL TIME.

MITCH HAS ALSO WRITTEN OTHER

BESTSELLERS LIKE HIS LATEST

WORK OF FICTION THE LITTLE LIAR

.

IN ADDITION TO WRITING, MITCH

IS ALSO A HUMANITARIAN.

AFTER THE DEVASTATING

EARTHQUAKE HIT HAITI IN 2010,

MITCH HAS OPERATED HAVE FAITH

HAITI AN ORPHANAGE IN PORT AU

PRINCE THAT PROVIDES A LOVING

HOME WHERE CHILDREN THRIVE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, JOINING US NOW IS MITCH

MITCH, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

THANKS.

APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.

FINISH THE LITTLE LIAR

YESTERDAY AND WHAT A UNIQUE

APPROACH TO THE HOLOCAUST TO

WORLD WAR TWO.

WHY DID YOU TAKE THIS

PARTICULAR ANGLE ON, THE

HOLOCAUST?

WELL, I WANTED YOU KNOW,

THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF GREAT

BOOKS THAT HAVE BEEN SET DURING

THE HOLOCAUST.

I DIDN'T WANT TO REPEAT THEM.

I WANTED TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING

ORIGINAL.

AND ALSO FELT THAT WE LIVE AT A

TIME WHERE TRUTH IS UNDER GREAT

ATTACK.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE

PICKING THEIR OWN TRUTH.

SO I WANTED TO A BOOK THAT

SHOWED HOW DURING THAT TIME

TRUTH WAS REALLY ONE OF THE

BIGGEST VICTIMS.

SO I CREATED A STORY ABOUT A

LITTLE BOY WHO'S NEVER TOLD A

LIE IN HIS LIFE AND WHEN THE

NAZIS COME TO HIS VILLAGE IN

GREECE THEY FIND OUT ABOUT HIM

AND THEY DECIDE TO USE HIM AS

WEAPON SO ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE

ARE TAKEN AWAY TO A GHETTO BUT

HE'S KEPT ASIDE AND THEY SAY TO

HIM, LISTEN, WE'LL LET YOU GO

BACK TO YOUR FAMILY.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS STAND

THESE RAILROAD TRACKS AND TELL

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STAND COMING

THE TRAINS THAT THEY'RE GOING

TO NEW JOBS OR NEW HOMES AND

EVERYTHING BE GOOD AND WHEN

YOU'RE DONE YOU KNOW YOU GO

BACK TO YOUR FAMILY AND HE DOES

THIS FOR WEEKS THINKING HE'S

TELLING THE TRUTH BECAUSE HE'S

NEVER TOLD A LIE BEFORE AND

ONLY WHEN HE SEES HIS FAMILY

BEING PUT ON THE TRAINS ALONG

WITH THIS LITTLE GIRL THAT HE

LOVES DOES HE REALIZED THAT

HE'S BEEN LYING ALL THIS TIME

AND THAT THE TRAINS ARE GOING

TO THE CONCENTRATION AND HE'S

NOT ALLOWED TO GO?

AND THE BOOK FOLLOWS WHAT

HA

THAT HE LOVES WHO WAS SENT AWAY

AND HIS FAMILY OVER COURSE OF

THE NEXT 40 YEARS AND THE

EFFECT OF THAT ONE LIE THE

FIRST LIE HE EVER TOLD IN HIS

LIFE ON HIM AND ON ALL OF FOR

ALL THOSE YEARS AFTERWARDS.

AND WHAT SEEMS TO COME

THROUGH IS I PRESUME I'M

CORRECT ABOUT THIS YOUR

PERSONAL SADNESS AND DESIRE TO

HONOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR

LIVES AND LOVED ONES REALLY

SHINES HERE, DOES IT NOT?

I GREW UP IN A NEIGHBORHOOD

WHERE A LOT OF OLDER PEOPLE

LIVED AND I USED TO NOTICE THAT

THEY WERE LONG SLEEVES THE

SUMMERTIME AND I WOULD ASK MY

MOTHER HOW COME THEY ARE

WEARING LONG SLEEVES AND SHE

WELL THEY HAVE NUMBERS TATTOOED

ON THEIR ARMS AND THEY DON'T

WANT PEOPLE TO SEE.

AND I SAID WHY?

AND SHE SAID, WELL I'LL TELL

YOU WHEN YOU'RE OLDER, YOU KNOW

.

WELL, I GOT OLDER AND I FOUND

OUT WHY AND I FEEL IT WAS MY

OBLIGATION.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN BLESSED

WITH SOME SUCCESS AS A WRITER

AND I FELT AS MY OBLIGATION

BEFORE I FINISHED MY WRITING

CAREER TO AT LEAST WRITE

ONE STORY THAT CONTINUED TO

TELL WHAT THE HORRORS OF WHAT

HAPPENED DURING THAT TIME

BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A TIME RIGHT

NOW SADLY YOU MAY HAVE SEEN

THIS RECENT POLL WHERE 20% OF

AMERICANS THINK THE HOLOCAUST

WAS A MYTH AND.

ANOTHER 30% CAN'T SAY FOR SURE

IF IT WAS A MYTH OR NOT.

THAT'S 50% OF PEOPLE WHO CAN'T

COME OUT AND SAY THIS ACTUALLY

PLACE.

SO I DID A GREAT AMOUNT OF

RESEARCH AND WANTED TO LEAST

CONTRIBUTE ONE BOOK THAT

SUGGESTS NOT ONLY DID IT TAKE

PLACE BUT IT HORRIFIC AND IT

CHANGED THE LIVES OF MANY

PEOPLE INVOLVED AND IT WAS

ORCHESTRATED THE WOLF YOU KNOW,

HITLER WHO AS I RECALL YOU

DIDN'T MENTION HIM BY NAME.

I REFUSE TO.

YEAH.

I WAS GOING TO ASK WHY HIS NAME

IS NEVER MENTIONED.

IT'S THE WOLF.

THE WOLF?

YEAH.

AND I SHOW HOW HE WAS ABLE TO

DO WHAT HE DID NOT BECAUSE HE

HAD BIGGER GUNS BUT BECAUSE HE

HAD BIGGER LIVES.

AND THAT'S THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF

TRUTH.

YOU KNOW, THE BOOK IS NARRATED

BY THE VOICE OF TRUTH WHO TALKS

ABOUT HOW TRUTH HAS BEEN RUINED

AND DESTROYED BY MANY PEOPLE

OVER TIME AND PARTICULARLY THIS

GUY IN THIS GROUP WHO LIED HIS

PEOPLE ABOUT IF WE JUST GET RID

OF THE JEWS, OUR LIVES WOULD BE

BETTER IF JUST GET RID OF THE

THE CATHOLICS, THE HOMOSEXUALS,

THE THE GYPSIES.

OUR LIVES WILL BE BETTER.

AND PEOPLE FELL FOR THAT LIE

AND DID HIS BIDDING A NUMBER OF

YEARS.

YEAH.

LOSS IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF

THIS BOOK.

CAN I READ A JUST A QUICK

EXCERPT ON IT PUT THE GLASSES

ON PAGE 183 OR SO YOU SAY THERE

ARE CERTAIN TRUTHS THAT ARE

EXPERIENCED UNIVERSALLY.

ONE OF THEM IS LOSS THE HOLLOW

IN YOUR HEART AS YOU STAND BY A

GRAVE THE LUMP IN YOUR THROAT

AS YOU STARE AT YOUR DESTROYED

HOME LOSS.

YES LOSS IS UNIVERSAL.

EVERYONE IN THEIR LIFETIME WILL

KNOW IT.

TELL US ABOUT A DEAR ONE YOU

LOST CEJKA AND MANY OF YOUR

READERS KNOW HER THROUGH THE

BOOK.

WELL, THE TRUTH, ANDREW,

THAT LOSS HAS KIND OF, YOU

KNOW, PERMEATED MY WRITING EVER

SINCE TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOST MY OLD

COLLEGE TALES AND I'VE WRITTEN

ABOUT LOSS AND FIVE PEOPLE YOU

MEET IN HEAVEN AND IN OTHER

BOOKS.

CHIKA WAS LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS

BROUGHT TO OUR ORPHANAGE AFTER

HER MOTHER DIED.

SHE SURVIVED THE EARTHQUAKE.

SHE WAS BORN THREE DAYS BEFORE

THE EARTHQUAKE SURVIVED IT

LIVED IN SUGAR LEAVES NIGHT SHE

SLEPT IN A BED OF SUGAR, LEAVES

FOR SIX MONTHS BECAUSE HER HOME

WAS DESTROYED.

SHE WAS BROUGHT TO US WHEN SHE

WAS THREE.

SHE WAS THE LOUDEST BOSSY KID.

WE HAD AN ORPHANAGE.

AND THEN AT AGE FIVE SHE HER

FACE TO DROOP AND WE DISCOVERED

THAT SHE HAD A BRAIN TUMOR OR

SOMETHING DIPG WHICH IS ALWAYS

FATAL UNFORTUNATELY BROUGHT IT

TO THINKING YOU KNOW, WE WOULD

BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT CURE AND

SHE'D BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND

UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CURE

BUT IF SHE STAYED WITH US THEY

TOLD US SHE WOULDN'T LIVE FOR

FOUR AFTER FOUR MONTHS SHE'D BE

GONE IN FOUR MONTHS BUT SHE

DIDN'T DIE IN FOUR MONTHS OR

EIGHT MONTHS OR 12 MONTHS.

SHE LIVED TWO YEARS AND DURING

THAT TIME WE DIDN'T FIND A CURE

BUT WE DID FIND A FAMILY AND IT

WAS A BLESSED TIME AND I I END

THAT BOOK BY SAYING, YOU KNOW,

WE DIDN'T LOSE A CHILD.

WE WERE ONE AND SHE WAS SHE WAS

GLORIOUS AND SHE TAUGHT ME AN

AWFUL LOT ABOUT LIFE AND I LOVE

THAT YOU TOLD HER DAY YOU WERE

HEADING OFF TO WORK.

RIGHT.

AND WHAT WAS HER RESPONSE?

WELL AT THAT POINT I HAD TO

CARRY HER BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T

WALK ANYMORE AND I CARRIED HER

WHEREVER SHE WENT AND WE WERE

PLAYING COLORING AND THEN I

LOOKED UP I SAID I HAD TO GO

AND I SAID CHICK, I GOT IT.

I GOT TO GO.

I GOT AND SAID NO MR. MITCH,

STAY IN COLOR.

I SAID CHIKA, I HAVE TO WORK.

SHE SAID MR. I HAVE TO PLAY.

I SAID WELL IT'S NOT THE SAME

THING BECAUSE THIS IS MY JOB.

AND SHE CROSSED HER ARMS AND

MADE THAT POUTY FACE AND SHE

SAID NO IT ISN'T.

YOUR JOB IS CARRYING ME YOU

KNOW.

AND OF COURSE I LAUGHED AND

THEN I REALIZED LIKE MATURE

WORDS ARE NEVER GOING TO BE

SPOKEN TO ME BECAUSE OF COURSE

MY JOB WAS CARRY HER ALL OF OUR

JOBS TO CARRY OUR CHILDREN AND

CARRY YOU KNOW, THOSE WHO NEED

US.

AND IF WE'RE BLESSED AS HAVE

BEEN THEN IT'S YOUR JOB TO

CARRY THE POOR CHILDREN OF THE

WORLD AND AND THE FORGOTTEN AND

THE ABANDONED LIKE WE HAVE AT

AN ORPHANAGE.

AND I ABOUT THAT IMAGE OF

CARING HER AND HOW SO MUCH OF

MY LIFE I HAVE CARRYING MY

WORK, MY MONEY, MY REPUTATION

KNOW CELEBRITY, WHATEVER AND

THEN YOU HAVE TO DROP ALL THAT

BECAUSE YOU TO PICK UP A SEVEN

YEAR OLD TO CARRY HER AROUND

AND IT'S JUST COMPARISON THAT

THAT IS AN HONORABLE CARRY WHAT

WE CARRY DEFINES US AND SHE

TAUGHT ME THAT AND IT'S

HUMBLING TO NAME.

YOU MENTIONED THE ORPHANAGE AND

THE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN YOU'VE

ENCOUNTERED.

IT'S NOT LIKE YOU AND YOUR WIFE

HAD YOUR EYES SET ON HAVING AN

ORPHANAGE FOR 2030 YEARS.

WHO DOES KNOW WAS AN

ACCIDENT.

I WENT AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE

WITH A PASTOR WHO THOUGHT HIS

ORPHANAGE HAD BEEN DESTROYED

AND I JUST WENT TO HELP OUT AND

IT HADN'T BEEN DESTROYED BUT IT

WAS OVERRUN.

I STARTED TO KIND OF REALLY

FEEL FOR THESE KIDS AND THEY

WERE SO HAPPY, JOYOUS EVEN

THOUGH THEY HAD NOTHING.

I MEAN EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYED

AND WE BEGAN COME BACK AND

BUILD SHOWERS, TOILETS, A

SCHOOL, A KITCHEN AND

EVENTUALLY THE PASTOR WHO WAS

IN HIS AIDES SAID, YOU KNOW, I

DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO RUN

THIS PLACE.

AND I KIND OF BLURTED WELL, I

COULD PROBABLY RUN IT.

HOW HARD COULD IT BE?

AND HE SAID THANK YOU, LORD.

AND HE DISAPPEARED.

HE'S OUT.

HE'S GONE AND I'VE BEEN RUNNING

EVER SINCE WITH MY WIFE AND

WE'VE BEEN THERE EVERY MONTH

FOR THE LAST 14 YEARS AND WILL

CONTINUE TO DO SO IF THE FATES

ALLOW.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW

FOR THE REST OUR LIVES AND HAVE

CONTINUED TO MEET INCREDIBLE

KIDS.

NATTY THAT HOW I SAY HER

NAME NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY NAUGHTY

NAUGHTY WAS I THINK GOD'S SORT

OF REWARD IN SOME WAY TO US FOR

FOR THE SADNESS WE ENJOY WHICH

SHE COULD NOT IT CAME TO US

WHEN SHE WAS SIX MONTHS OLD

THAT'S HER SHE WEIGHED £7 TOTAL

AND YOU CALL HER A REWARD WELL

HERE IS WHY SHE CAME TO US AND

ONLY WEIGHING £7 SHE WAS NEAR

DEATH SHE HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING

BUT SUGAR WATER WE BROUGHT HER

TO AMERICA LIKE WE BOUGHT SHE

COULD TO AMERICA THINKING THAT

OKAY, WE WILL PUT HER ON THIS

NUTRITION PROGRAM AND WE'LL

WE'LL JUST GET HER BACK UP TO

AND THEN SHE CAN GET BACK TO

HAITI BUT EVERY MONTH THAT WENT

BY SHE BECAME MORE AND MORE

KIND OF PART OF OUR LIVES AND

WHEN SHE FIRST WORD WAS DADA,

YOU KNOW AND NEXT THING YOU

KNOW IT'S TWO YEARS ALREADY AND

SHE'S THRIVING NOW AND SHE IS

THE JOY OF OUR LIVES.

AND THERE ARE MOMENTS HONESTLY,

ANDREW, WHERE I KIND OF

SOMETIMES I WAKE UP AND I GO

SOMETHING'S WRONG.

SHE'S GOING TO BE SICK.

SHE'S GOING TO BE SICK BECAUSE

CHIKA WAS SICK AND THEN I

REALIZE NO, NO SHE'S NOT SHE'S

PERFECTLY HEALTHY AND SHE'S

GOING TO LIVE A LONG, LONG TIME

AND I THINK THAT'S GOD'S WAY

SHOWING US THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR

EVERY SADNESS THERE'S A JOY AND

IT JUST SO HAPPENED TO COME IN

TWO LITTLE GIRLS IN OUR LIVES

YOU AND YOUR WIFE WERE VERY

BUSY VISITING THE ORPHANAGE

EVERY MONTH ETC. STILL HAVE

TIME TO WRITE AND ARE THERE A

LOT OF IDEAS IN YOUR MIND NOW

THAT YOU'RE SELECTING FROM?

OH YEAH I ALWAYS SAY THAT I

HAVE WAY MORE IDEAS THAN I HAVE

YEARS LEFT ON EARTH SO I'LL

I'LL I'LL DIE WITH MANY BOOKS

ON WRITTEN BUT I JUST TRY TO

WRITE THAT BRING HOPE AND SOME

INSPIRATION AND TRY TO FIND

TALES CAN DO THAT.

I'VE BEEN DOING THAT EVER SINCE

TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE AND I

FOUND OUT I HAVE A GREAT

READERSHIP THAT ENJOYS THAT

TYPE OF WRITING AND I ENJOY IT

TOO.

CAN I ASK YOU THIS QUESTION

REGARDING YOUR WRITING?

I THINK THE MILLIONS WHO LOVE

YOUR BOOKS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

I MEAN WHEN YOU'RE NOT OUT

RESEARCHING OR IN THE ARCHIVES

OR IN A COUNTRY GREECE WRITE

FOR A LITTLE LIAR.

YEAH WHEN YOU'RE HOME I PRESUME

WRITING OR IN THE OFFICE WHAT

IS IT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY

EARLY MORNING LATE AT NIGHT IS

IT ARE YOU ON A PARTICULAR

PACE?

YES, I TRY TO DO IT THE SAME

EVERY DAY.

GET UP FIRST THING YOU KNOW,

BRUSH MY TEETH, HAVE A LITTLE

SOMETHING TO DRINK AND GO RIGHT

TO WRITING.

I DON'T TURN ON NEWS.

I DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING.

I DON'T READ ANYTHING.

I WANT MY BRAIN TO BE TOTALLY

CLEAR AND I GO FOR ONLY ABOUT

TWO OR 3 HOURS THEN I'M OUT OF

GAS.

YOU KNOW I COULD SIT THERE ALL

DAY.

NOTHING ELSE IS GOING TO COME

AND BUT I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU

DO IT EVERY DAY YOU TREAT IT

LIKE A JOB AND AND ALWAYS QUIT

WHEN.

IT'S GOING WELL.

DON'T QUIT WHEN IT'S GOING BAD

BECAUSE WHEN IT'S GOING BAD AND

YOU SAY I'LL COME BACK TOMORROW

WHEN YOU GET UP IN THE MORNING

YOU'RE LIKE I DON'T WANT TO GO

BACK TO THAT THAT WAS THAT

WASN'T FUN SO QUIT WHEN IT'S

GOING WELL YOU LOOK FORWARD TO

GETTING UP AND DOING IT AGAIN.

I SAID LAST QUESTION BUT IF

I MAY, DO YOU EVER GO BACK AND

READ SOMETHING YOU THOUGHT WAS

REALLY SUPERB AND YOU'RE LIKE

OH MAYBE NOT AS STRONG AS I

THOUGHT OR YOU THOUGHT

SOMETHING WAS WEAK AND YOU SAY

THAT I HATE BURNING TOO BUT I

RARELY THINK IT'S EVER SUPERB.

I TRY NOT TO GO BACK AND READ

IT BECAUSE.

I ALWAYS ONCE IT'S IN PRINT I

NEVER READ IT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE

I CAN'T FIX IT AND IF I CAN'T

FIX IT I DON'T WANT TO READ IT

SO.

YEAH I'M ALWAYS KIND OF

DISAPPOINTED WHEN I READ IT

THINKING I COULD DO BETTER BUT

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE YOUR NEXT

BOOK SO THAT YOU GET A CHANCE

TO DO BETTER.

AND I WANT TO LET YOU ALL

KNOW MITCH'S BOOK THE LITTLE

LIAR IS WELL WORTH THE READ.

IT'S FANTASTIC AND IS A BRAND

NEW APPROACH ON THE HOLOCAUST

WORLD WAR TWO AND SOME REAL

COMPELLING CHARACTERS AND QUITE

THAT'S ONE 809 40613 THREE.

WELCOME BACK TO THE 700 CLUB

FOR THE CBN NEWSBREAK.

OKLAHOMA SUPREME COURT BLOCKED

THE NATION'S FIRST RELIGIOUS

CHARTER SCHOOL.

THE VIRTUAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL WAS

SET TO IN THE FALL BUT JUSTICES

RULED IT VIOLATES BOTH THE US

AND OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTIONS

BECAUSE IT USES PUBLIC MONEY

FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSE.

AN ATTORNEY FOR THE SCHOOLS

SAYS THEY WILL TAKE THE CASE TO

THE UNITED STATES SUPREME

COURT.

A NEW YORK CITY MAN IS ON A

MISSION TO FEED THE HOMELESS

AND IT'S A THAT COMES FROM

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

A DECADE AGO HENRY WAS LOOKING

FOR A WAY TO GIVE BACK AFTER

LIVING THROUGH A TIME WHERE HE

DIDN'T HAVE A HOME.

THAT'S WHEN HE CAME UP WITH THE

ORGANIZATION FOOD FOR THE

HOMELESS.

THOMAS RECRUITED HIS SON AND

VOLUNTEERS TO HAND OUT FREE

FOOD AND WATER AROUND NEW YORK

CITY.

TEN YEARS LATER, THOMAS SAYS

HE'S LOOKING FOR EVEN MORE

VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE THAT MISSION

NATIONWIDE.

I WANT TO LET YOU YOU CAN

IT'S CBN NEWS DOT COM.

ANDREW AND ASHLEY ARE BACK WITH

MORE OF TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

IT'S COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS

I ALWAYS LAUGH AT MYSELF

LIKE WHY AM I SURPRISED?

TOMORROW ON THIS 700 CLUB

WELL SOON IAN WAS BORN.

DOCTORS ONLY GAVE HIM A 72

HOURS TO LIVE.

HE NEEDED LIFE SAVING THAT HIS

PARENTS COULD NEVER AFFORD.

SHORTLY AFTER IAN WAS BORN,

GRANDMOTHER THREW HIM A

TRADITIONAL BLESSING CEREMONY

AND ANNOUNCED THAT HIS

ANCESTRAL NICKNAME WOULD BE

TUTU.

HOW YOU DID IT MAN.

HE WOULD BE SURROUNDED BY

BLESSINGS.

YET THE NEXT DAY IAN GOT SICK

TO HIS FACE TURNED BLUE AND HIS

STOMACH SWELLED A BALL.

HE COULDN'T KEEP ANYTHING

DOWN AND HE GOT WORSE AND

WORSE.

IAN HAD A SEVERE INTESTINAL

OBSTRUCTION THAT THE DOCTORS

SAID IN OPERATION WAS RISKY BUT

IT NEEDED TO BE DONE AS SOON AS

POSSIBLE.

OPEN UP HIS INTESTINES.

WITHOUT SURGERY THE DOCTORS

SAID HE WOULDN'T LAST 72 HOURS

BUT HIS INTESTINES WERE ROT AND

HE'D DIE FROM SEPSIS.

SURGERY COSTS HAD TO BE PAID

UPFRONT.

BUT MRS. MOORE IS POOR.

SHE CALLED HER HUSBAND WHO

WAS WORKING OUT OF TOWN AND THE

TWO CONTACTED EVERYONE THEY

KNEW TO BORROW MONEY.

SO WHY NOT?

ONE OF MY RELATIVES SAID THE

OPERATION WAS TWO EXPENSIVE AND

I SHOULD TAKE THE BABY HOME TO

DIE.

IT WAS JUST HIS FATE.

I WAS ANGRY AND HUNG UP ON HIM.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY

PEOPLE TREAT LIFE WITH SUCH.

MEANWHILE IAN'S TIME RUNNING

OUT.

HE LAID IN BED WITH HIS EYES

WHEN I TOUCHED HIM.

THERE WAS NO WARMTH.

I WAS SO SCARED.

THIS WAS MY ONLY SON.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HIM.

DOCTORS MRS. MOORE, THAT

OPERATION BLESSING MIGHT BE

ABLE TO HELP THE SHOW WHEN

OPERATION BLESSING HEARD HOW

SERIOUS IT IS CONDITION WAS.

THEY AGREED TO FUND MY BABY'S

SURGERY ON THE SAME DAY.

SOON IAN WAS ON THE ROAD TO

FULL RECOVERY.

SO WHEN HE OPENED HIS EYES AND

LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED I

COULDN'T HOLD BACK THE TEARS.

NOW HE DIGESTS FOOD WELL.

HIS STOMACH IS AND HE'S GAINED

WEIGHT AND DURING THIS TIME A

FROM OPERATION BLESSING VISITED

ME AND TOLD ME EVERYONE PRAYING

FOR MY BABY.

SHE SHARED GOD'S LOVE AND

SAID TO BE AFRAID JUST TO TRUST

GOD.

SHE SAID GOD LOVES BABY AND ME.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I KNEW

THERE WAS A GOD WHO WOULD BLESS

US AND IN HONOR OF GOD BLESS.

I CHANGED THAT YEAR'S NICKNAME

TO T.A. WHICH MEANS GRACE.

I THANK THE OPERATION BLESSING

BECAUSE OF YOU MY BABY IS ALIVE

SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN LOVE RONEY

IS A TWO TIME OLYMPIC GOLD

MEDALIST.

THIS SUMMER SHE'S IN PURSUIT A

THIRD GOLD MEDAL AT THE PARIS

OLYMPICS.

SHE USED TO BE CRIPPLED WITH

ANXIETY BEFORE AND AFTER EACH

RACE BUT NOT ANYMORE.

IN AN INTERVIEW WITH SPORTS

REPORTER WILL DAWSON TELLS HOW

HER FAITH SET HER FREE.

IT'S GONNA BE SYDNEY TIME AGAIN

.

THE WORLD RECORD AGAIN.

SHE'S THE WORLD'S FASTEST 400

METER HURDLER AND A TWO TIME

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST IN 2016

AT ONLY 16 YEARS OLD.

SYDNEY MARONEY BECAME THE

YOUNGEST PERSON IN NEARLY 40

YEARS TO MAKE THE WOMEN'S

OLYMPIC TRACK TEAM.

WHEN DID KNOW THAT YOU WERE NOT

JUST GOOD BUT MAYBE EVEN GREAT?

MEAN I STARTED RUNNING WHEN I

WAS SIX AND I THINK IT'S KIND

OF HARD TELL WHEN YOU'RE THAT

YOUNG.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE JUST RUNNING

FOR THE FUN OF WANTING TO RUN

BUT I THINK IT WASN'T UNTIL I

GOT TO HIGH SCHOOL COMING INTO

NOW FRESHMAN YEAR BUT MY FIRST

RACE WAS AN INDOOR 300 AND I

ACTUALLY WON THE RACE AGAINST

SOME SENIORS AND I THINK THAT'S

WHEN IT KIND OF HIT ME THAT

WOW, MAYBE I CAN ACTUALLY, YOU

KNOW, HANG WITH THESE GIRLS.

SHE DID MORE THAN HANG WITH

THEM.

SYDNEY QUICKLY BECAME THE BEST

HURDLER IN THE COUNTRY

QUALIFYING FOR THE 2016 OLYMPIC

GAMES IN RIO IN SPITE OF ALL

THE ACCOLADES AND SUCCESS

SYDNEY STRUGGLING FROM AN EARLY

AGE AS A RUNNER AND FEAR

PLAGUED YOU.

WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?

I THINK ANXIETY AND FEAR FOR

ME KIND OF JUST CAME FROM MY

DESIRE TO WANT TO BE PERFECT

AND ALL THINGS.

AND THE REALITY IS THAT NOBODY

CAN DO THAT.

AND I THINK FOR ME THAT WAS A

CONSTANT BATTLE INTERNALLY OF

HOW DO I GET AS CLOSE TO

PERFECT AS POSSIBLE IN A WORLD

WHERE YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR

CIRCUMSTANCES OR WHAT HAPPENS

TO YOU ALL THE TIME?

FOR ME IT CONSTANTLY LEFT ME IN

A STATE OF FEAR AND ESPECIALLY

ON THE TRACK RACING AGAINST

OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE AS GOOD IF

NOT BETTER.

THAT WAS A CONSTANT BATTLE OF I

ENOUGH.

WILL I EVER BE ENOUGH OR WILL I

EVER MEASURE UP TO THE THAT I

HAVE FOR MYSELF AND THAT OTHER

PEOPLE HAVE FOR ME?

SYDNEY DID MEDAL AT THE

OLYMPIC GAMES IN RIO AND

RETURNED HOME FOR HER SENIOR

YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.

THE RECEPTION WASN'T WHAT SHE

EXPECTED.

I REMEMBER RECEIVING MESSAGES

ACTUALLY ON INSTAGRAM AND

PEOPLE SAYING STUFF LIKE YOU

MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE

OLYMPICS NOT TO GET A MEDAL BUT

I JUST KNEW FROM POINT ON I WAS

LIKE I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW

TO DEAL WITH THIS FEAR BECAUSE

CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS.

HER NEXT BIG HURDLE WAS

QUALIFYING THE 2020 OLYMPICS IN

TOKYO IN 2019.

SHE COMPETED IN THE WORLD

CHAMPIONSHIPS IN DOHA QATAR FOR

SYDNEY.

ANYTHING SHORT OF FIRST PLACE

WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE.

AS A PERFECTIONIST, SECOND

PLACE FINISH WAS HEARTBREAKING.

BEING TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY

THERE ON THE WORLD STAGE AND

STILL COME UP SHORT I THINK WAS

JUST DEVASTATING FOR ME.

I STILL COULDN'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT ALL THE FEAR WAS ALL THE

ANXIETY HOW TO HANDLE IT.

SYDNEY GREW UP IN A

CHRISTIAN HOME THOUGH SHE NEVER

FULLY TRUSTED GOD.

THE LOSS AND GROWING ANXIETY

FORCED HER TO CRY OUT TO HIM

GOD, I NEED YOU.

YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S NO

WAY I'M GOING TO HEAL FROM ALL

OF THIS UNLESS WITH YOU.

AND SO DURING COVID THAT WAS

WHEN I TRULY SEEKING HIM.

IT WAS READING COLOSSIANS

THREE I FLIPPED A SWITCH FOR ME

IN TERMS OF MY THINKING AND

JUST KIND OF HOW I SAW

EVERYTHING.

IT JUST MADE THE WHOLE GOSPEL

MAKE SENSE.

THE LENS WHICH I VIEWED LIFE

HAD TRULY SWITCHED AND

UNDERSTANDING LIKE THAT IN AND

OF MYSELF HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER

GOD BUT IT IS JUST THE

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS COVERING

MY LIFE BASED UPON MY FAITH

THAT IS PRESENTABLE BEFORE HIM.

THOUGH SYDNEY HAD COME UP

SHORT AND THE WORLD

CHAMPIONSHIPS SHE HAD STILL

QUALIFIED FOR THE 2020 GAMES IN

TOKYO WHILE THERE WITH A NEW

FOCUS ON GOD SHE SET NEW WORLD

RECORD TAKING HOME GOLD IN THE

FOUR BY 400 RELAY AND THE 400

METER HURDLES WHEN YOU CROSS

THE FINISH LINE WHAT WERE THE

EMOTIONS?

RELIEF.

PRAISE.

THANKFULNESS.

EXCITEMENT.

DISBELIEF.

ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS AT

ONCE BUT TRULY JUST LIKE THANK

YOU GOD FOR HEARING MY PRAYERS

AND ANSWERING THEM AND JUST

BEING BEING KIND TO ME.

I THINK THAT'S THE NUMBER

ONE THING EVERY TIME I CROSS

THE LINE IT'S LIKE GOD, YOU NOT

FAILED ME.

EVEN WHEN I LOSE I STILL WIN.

I LEARN AND YOU STILL PRUNE ME

AND GUIDE ME AND SUSTAIN AND

YEAH, I'M THE GIRL WHO WANTS

YOU KNOW, USED TO CROSS THE

LINE AND STILL FEEL EMPTY

INSIDE.

I NOW HAVE JOY EVEN IN THE

MIDST OF ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

TODAY SYDNEY IS TRAINING FOR

THIS YEAR'S OLYMPIC GAMES.

PARIS.

WIN OR LOSE SHE HAS A NEW

PURPOSE IN NEW BOOK FAR BEYOND

GOLD.

SYDNEY DISCUSSES HER BATTLE

WITH ANXIETY, FEAR AND LETTING

GO OF HER STRIVING FOR

PERFECTION AND SIMPLY RUNNING

THE RACE SET BEFORE HER.

KNOWING THAT I'M RUNNING WITH

THAT PURPOSE OF ACHIEVING GOAL

AND THE GOAL IS NOT GOLD MEDALS

LIKE THE BOOKS AND IT'S FAR

BEYOND GOLD IT'S YOU KNOW

ACHIEVING SALVATION WHICH IS

ALREADY MINE AND JESUS BUT

OBVIOUSLY THE RUNNING THE RACE

OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE WELL EVEN

ON THE TRACK BEFORE RACES

THAT'S WHAT I'M REMINDING OF IS

SETTING MY MIND ON THE THINGS

ABOVE.

YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE LORD IS

LOOKING DOWN ON MY LIFE RIGHT

NOW AND ME WANTING TO HONOR HIM

AND HE'S GLORIFIED IN THAT.

AND SO IT BECAME A JOYFUL

WAY OF EXPERIENCING LIFE AND

LIVING LIFE AND YEAH, IT'S WAY

BETTER THAN I WAS THINKING

BEFORE.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU

GUYS BUT I'M DEFINITELY GOING

TO BE ROOTING FOR SYDNEY IN

THESE UPCOMING OLYMPICS.

BUT I'M JUST SO GRATEFUL FOR

HONESTY AND HER TRANSPARENCY

ABOUT HER STRUGGLE WITH ENOUGH

AND HER STRUGGLE WITH ANXIETY

AND FEAR AND PERFECTIONISM.

AND I THINK AS CHRISTIANS WE

CAN GET SO TRAPPED BY THE IDEA

OF PERFECTIONISM I HAVE TO

PERFORM WELL IN ORDER FOR GOD

TO LOVE ME AND THAT IS FOR THE

FURTHEST THING FARTHEST THING

FROM THE TRUTH.

GOD LOVES YOU AS YOU ARE.

NOW HE DOESN'T LOVE THE SIN

THAT MIGHT BE IN OUR LIVES.

HE DOESN'T LOVE THE FLESH

THINGS THAT WE MIGHT STILL DO.

BUT HE'S A GOOD GOOD FATHER AND

OFTENTIMES WHEN WE COME TO THE

LORD NOT ASKING YOU TO BE

PERFECT BEFORE COMING TO HIM.

HE'S JUST ASKING YOU TO COME TO

HIM AND THEN LET HIM DO THE

WORK, LET HIM CLEAN HOUSE IN

YOUR HEART.

LET HIM CHANGE YOU FROM THE

INSIDE OUT.

SOMETIMES IT'S AN INSTANTANEOUS

CHANGE AND SOMETIMES IT'S A

JOURNEY.

BUT I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE MY

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST

TODAY THAT YOU ARE ENOUGH.

YOU ARE LOVED BY A HEAVENLY

FATHER WHO SEES YOU AND WHO

KNOWS YOU.

HE KNOWS EVERY HAIR ON YOUR

HEAD.

HE KNOWS THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE

GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO FALL.

BUT HERE'S THE THING HE'S GOING

TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET BACK UP

AGAIN BECAUSE.

THAT IS WHAT HE'S ALL ABOUT.

HE GIVES SECOND CHANCES, THIRD

CHANCES, FOURTH CHANCES.

SO I JUST WANT TO THANK SYDNEY

AGAIN FOR HER JUST TRANSPARENCY

AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE

YOU GUYS YOU ARE LOVED.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO

COME TO JESUS.

COME TO HIM AS YOU ARE AND IF

YOU'RE DEALING WITH ANXIETY WE

HAVE A NEW ONLINE RESOURCE.

MIND AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS
