FRONT OF ME ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB

.

WELL WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB

NEWS OUT OF ISRAEL.

100 ROCKETS IN JUST A FEW

HOURS.

HEZBOLLAH LAUNCH FOUR WAVES

OF ATTACKS ON NORTHERN ISRAEL

LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING

THANKS TO THE IRON DOME DEFENSE

SYSTEM.

NO INJURIES ARE REPORTED FAR.

THIS IS THE LATEST OFFENSIVE

AND AN ALMOST DAILY BARRAGE OF

HEZBOLLAH ROCKETS SINCE OCTOBER

7TH.

THE ATTACKS ARE TAKING A HUGE

TOLL ON THE PEOPLE, THE

ENVIRONMENT AND, THE ECONOMY.

CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

NORTHERN ISRAEL.

SINCE THE ALMOST DAILY BARRAGE

BEGAN.

LIFE HERE IS A DANGEROUS AND

POTENTIALLY DEADLY PLACE.

NOAH IN THERE BUT RUN HAS DIED

IN A ROCKET ATTACK JULY 9TH

LEAVING BEHIND THREE CHILDREN.

THEY'RE DOZENS OF CIVILIANS AND

SOLDIERS KILLED BY HEZBOLLAH.

NOW MOST COMMUNITIES ALONG THE

LEBANESE BORDER STAND NEARLY

EMPTY.

ANOTHER CASUALTY IS THE LAND

ITSELF DUE TO WILDFIRE FIRES

CREATED BY THE COMBINATION OF

ROCKET FIRE AND DRY SUMMER.

THROUGHOUT NORTHERN ISRAEL, THE

GALILEE AND THE GOLAN THE FIRES

STARTED BY HEZBOLLAH ROCKETS

HAVE DESTROYED TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF ACRES AND

THOUSANDS OF TREES SOME PLANTED

AS FAR BACK AS 60 YEARS AGO.

THESE ARE THE WORST FOREST

FIRES IN THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL.

IT'S A A MARQUETTE'S LEADS

FORESTRY EFFORTS ON THE GOLAN

HEIGHTS.

I'M KIND OF YOUNG AND I'M NEW

IN THE SYSTEM.

I'VE ONLY BEEN IN THE FOREST

SERVICE FOR SEVEN YEARS BUT ALL

OF THE OLDER GENERATION I.

I SEE THEM THEIR WHOLE LIFE'S

WORK IS GOING UP IN FLAMES AND

AND IT'S ON PURPOSE.

I MEAN SOMEBODY IS DOING THIS

PURPOSE TO US.

IT'S NOT JUST HAPPENING THIS

INTENSE GENERAL DESTRUCTION

REACHING NEARLY 40,000 ACRES

THUS FAR IS JUST ANOTHER PART

OF HEZBOLLAH'S GOAL TO DRAIN

ISRAEL'S RESOURCES, WEAR DOWN

ITS PEOPLE AND EVENTUALLY

ELIMINATE THE JEWISH STATE.

I MEAN FOR US IT'S HUGE.

I MEAN THESE FIRES HERE ARE

EQUIVALENT TO THE FIRES IN

NORTHERN.

FOR US THAT'S HOW WE EXPERIENCE

IT.

ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE LIKE A

ONE OR 2000 HECTARE FIRE, WE I

MEAN IT'S BIG IN ANY SCALE BUT

IN ISRAEL HUGE AND IT'S ALSO

DESTROYING REGIONAL WILDLIFE

TWIN FIRES STARTS IN THE SPRING

IN THE LATE SPRING IN THE MIDST

OF THE NESTING SEASON THEN A

REAL DAMAGE TO BIRDS.

WE'RE TALKING CHICKS AND

NESTS THAT CANNOT FLY.

THE PARENTS ARE LEAVING BUT THE

CHICKS ARE BURNING THE DEATH

AND THE BIRDS ARE LOSING A

WHOLE GENERATION.

I FEEL LIKE A REFUGEE IN MY

OWN COUNTRY AND IT'S NOT A GOOD

POSITION TO BE AT.

MIRIAM ALMOND IS AMONG THE

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ISRAELIS

NOW LIVING AWAY FROM HOME

BEFORE OCTOBER 7TH.

HER FAMILY HAD LIVED IN THE

BORDER COMMUNITY OF FOR FIVE

GENERATIONS BUT ISABELLA

STARTED MISSILES LAUNCHING

MISSILES TOLD.

MANY MANY HOUSES GUTTED MINE

INCLUDED.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE HEZBOLLAH,

THE TERROR ORGANIZATION NOW

ATTACKING ISRAEL, IT'S

IMPOSSIBLE LEAD ONE UP NORTH.

THE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT

THAT NOT PEOPLE KNOWS ABOUT IT.

NOT MANY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE

SITUATION.

WE JUST WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

NORTHERN ISRAEL.

AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO

LIVE IN PEACE.

THE UN ESTABLISHED A NO FIRE

ZONE A WEAPON FREE BUT THEY'RE

NOT ENFORCING IT.

HEZBOLLAH HAS FOR RUN OVER

LEBANON AND IT'S JUST AMAZING

TO ME THAT THE WORLD COMMUNITY

IS TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THIS.

AN OBVIOUS PROVOCATION.

IT'S AN OBVIOUS ACT OF WAR.

JUST IMAGINE IN THE UNITED

STATES OF EITHER CANADA, MEXICO

SAID WELL, WE'RE GOING TO FIRE

100 ROCKETS A DAY ACROSS BORDER

AND HOPE THEY DON'T RETALIATE.

DON'T INVADE US.

WELL, YOU AND I AS AMERICANS

SAY IN YOUR DREAMS WE'RE

ABSOLUTELY GOING TO STOP THAT.

IT'S INTOLERABLE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE A FREE COUNTRY

UNLESS PROTECTING YOUR OWN

BORDERS AND YOUR OWN CITIZENS

FROM ATTACK.

SO WHEN ISRAEL DOES LAUNCH A

COUNTER OFFENSIVE AND AS MUCH I

HATE TO SAY IT, I THINK THEY

HAVE TO WHEN DO THAT I HOPE THE

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SIDES

THEM AND SAYS THIS HAS TO STOP.

THERE IS AN IDEOLOGY BEING

PROMULGATED FROM IRAN AND

WHETHER THAT'S THE FORM OF

HEZBOLLAH OR IN THE FORM OF

HAMAS OR THE FORM OF THE THE

HOUTHIES OR ALL OF THESE

DIFFERENT GROUPS EITHER TRYING

TO SHUT DOWN INTERNATIONAL

SHIPPING OR WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE

MAP.

IT'S ALL BASED ON AN IDEOLOGY

COMING OUT OF IRAN.

LET'S RECOGNIZE THAT.

LET'S STAND UP TO IT AND SAY WE

WANT PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

WE CAN HAVE IT.

IF YOU CONTINUE THIS KIND OF

ACTIVITY, IF YOU DO EXPECT

RETALIATION AND EXPECT THAT

FORCE.

IN OTHER NEWS, A MAJOR STEP

FORWARD AND IN AN INVESTIGATION

OF A PRO-PALESTINIAN GROUP

RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA THAT'S

SUSPECT TO HAVE TIES TO HAMAS

WHILE JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

STORY FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU

IN WASHINGTON JOHN.

THANKS, GORDON.

A JUDGE ORDERED MUSLIMS FOR

PALESTINE TO TURN OVER

FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS SOUGHT BY

VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL JASON

MYERS.

THE IRS IS INVESTIGATING THE

GROUP FOR POTENTIALLY VIOLATING

VIRGINIA'S CHARITABLE

SOLICITATION LAWS INCLUDING

BENEFITING OR PROVIDING SUPPORT

TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.

THE GROUP CAME UNDER ELEVATED

SCRUTINY FOR ITS TIES TO

PRO-PALESTINIAN THAT SPREAD

ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

CAMPUSES, COLLEGE CAMPUSES THAT

IS THIS PAST SPRING ACCORDING

TO THE ONLINE EDITION OF

INSIDER AMP ALLEGEDLY GAVE

FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO A GROUP

THAT'S USED PRO-HAMAS RHETORIC

AND SOME OF ITS LEADERS

REPORTED HAVE PAST ASSOCIATIONS

WITH A GROUP NO LONGER IN

EXISTENCE THAT WAS FOUND LIABLE

OF AIDING HAMAS.

AMP SAYS IT NEVER SUPPORTED

TERRORISM AND DOES NOT SEND

FUNDS OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

WELL NOW TO THE LATEST IN THE

INVESTIGATION OF THE

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

THE SECRET SERVICE SAYS IT GAVE

MORE RESOURCES TO THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN AFTER RECEIVING

INTELLIGENCE AN IRANIAN PLOT TO

KILL THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

THERE'S NO THE 20 YEAR OLD

SHOOTER WAS CONNECTED TO THAT

PLOT.

THIS COMES AMID ONGOING

QUESTIONS OF WHY THE GUNMAN WAS

ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS THE ROOF OF

A BUILDING WITH CLEAR LINE OF

SIGHT TO THE PRESIDENT.

THE SECRET SERVICE DIRECTOR

SAID NO ONE WAS PLACED ON TOP

OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE THE

ROOF WAS SLOPED POSING A RISK

TO AGENTS.

INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL LOOKING

INTO THE GUNMAN'S BACKGROUND

FOR CLUES ON WHY HE CARRIED THE

ATTACK.

WELL THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL

CONVENTION RECONVENES TODAY

AFTER

SECURING AMERICA'S BORDERS AND

A SHOW OF PARTY UNITY.

DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER RIVALS

TOOK THE STAGE URGING TO COME

TOGETHER TO BEAT JOE BIDEN.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT BURKE

LET'S MAKE 45TH PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES THE 47TH

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

SPEAKING TO A TUESDAY NIGHT RNC

CROWD WHICH INCLUDED DONALD

TRUMP, FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON

DESANTIS PRAISED HIS FORMER

WAS COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

TRUMP'S STRONGEST CHALLENGER

AND TOUGH CRITIC DURING THE

CAMPAIGN FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR

NIKKI HALEY ALSO HER SUPPORT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH

TRUMP 100% OF THE TIME TO VOTE

FOR HIM AFTER TRUMP.

HALEY TALKED UP HIS FOREIGN

POLICY RECORD WHEN OBAMA WAS

PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN

INVADED CRIMEA WITH JOE BIDEN

AS.

PRESIDENT PUTIN INVADED ALL

OF UKRAINE.

BUT WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS

PRESIDENT PUTIN DID NO INVASION

,NO INVASIONS, NO WARS.

THAT NO ACCIDENT.

TEXAS SENATOR TED CRUZ, A

RIVAL FROM THE 216 CAMPAIGN

PRAISE GOD FOR PROTECTING TRUMP

,THEN TURNED TO THE SITUATION

ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

11 POINT MILLION PEOPLE HAVE

CROSSED OUR BORDER ILLEGALLY

UNDER JOE BIDEN.

LOOK AROUND.

THIS ARENA HOLDS ABOUT 18,000

SOULS.

NOW 639 ARENAS JUST LIKE THIS

FILLED TO THE BRIM.

THAT IS 11.5 MILLION PEOPLE

LARGER THAN ALL BUT EIGHT

STATES IN THE NATION.

MEANWHILE, IN AN EMOTIONAL

SPEECH LAURA TRUMP, THE

CO-CHAIR OF THE REPUBLICAN

NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND DONALD

TRUMP'S DAUGHTER IN LAW GAVE A

DESCRIPTION OF SATURDAY'S

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.

OUR FAMILY HAS FACED OUR

FAIR SHARE OF DEATH THREATS

MYSTERIOUS POWDERS SENT TO OUR

HOMES, TASTELESS VIOLENT

COMMENTS DIRECTED TOWARDS US ON

SOCIAL MEDIA.

BUT NONE OF THAT PREPARES YOU

AS A DAUGHTER IN LAW TO WATCH

TEXAS GOVERNOR ABBOTT IS

UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THE

WENDY GRIFFITH BRINGS US THE

DYNAMIC SIGHTS AND SOUNDS FROM

THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE BIBLE.

WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM OF THE

BIBLE'S LATEST ALL CREATION

SINGS INSPIRED BY PSALM 148

WHICH DECLARES LET THEM PRAISE

THE NAME OF THE LORD.

IT'S A 45 MINUTE EXPERIENCE

POSING THE QUESTION WHAT IS

WORSHIP TO WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS

WORSHIP TO ME?

MIND IMMEDIATELY GOES TO THE

THING THAT WE DO AT CHURCH ON

SUNDAYS BEFORE THE PASTOR GETS

UP AND GIVES THE SERMON AND

INDEED THAT IS WORSHIP.

BUT AS THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT

WORSHIP IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN

THAT.

SO THE STORY IS THE STORY OF

THE BIBLE.

IT'S TAKING YOU FROM CREATION

OR GENESIS ALL THE WAY TO

REVELATION USING THE LATEST

LIGHT DETECTION AND 3D LASER

TECHNOLOGY.

YOU CAN LITERALLY INTERACT

WITH THE WALLS SUDDENLY.

I'M A LITTLE KID AGAIN AND I

COULD GO AND CREATE PAINT ON

THE WALLS AT THE BEGINNING AND

AT THE END OF THIS STORY.

THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE

TEAMED UP WITH A GROUP CALLED

CREATOR.

IT'S TO FEATURE SOME OF

CHRISTIAN MUSIC'S BIGGEST NAMES

THIS PROJECT JACKI HILL, PERRY

AND TASHA COPPS, LEONARD AND

BRANDON LAKE KARI JOBE CODY

CARNES.

PHIL WICKHAM.

BROOKE LIGGETT, CHRIS TOMLIN.

IT IS THE WHO'S WHO THAT HAVE

COME TOGETHER CREATE THIS

ORGANIZATION CALLED CREATOR

LENDING THEIR VOICE

BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE

EXPERIENCE REALLY SETTING UP

THE EXPERIENCE SO THAT YOUR

HEART AND YOUR MIND IS PREPARED

TO TALK ABOUT WORSHIP AND WHAT

IT IS AND WHO IT WORTHY.

ALL CREATION SINGS IT'S NOT

SO MUCH AN EXHIBIT AS AN

EXPERIENCE IT TAKES GUESTS ON A

JOURNEY THROUGH FOR IMMERSING

THEM IN A WORSHIP ADVENTURE

THAT ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS

HEAVENLY MOTHER AND MADISON AND

LAURA TO MICHAEL FROM OHIO WERE

ENTHRALLED TO SEE THE WORD OF

GOD COME ALIVE IN FRONT OF ME

JUST TO BE A PART OF THAT

CACOPHONY OF PRAISE.

LIKE THEY SAID IN THE BEGINNING

IS A CONTINUAL PRAISE THAT IS

ECHOING TO OUR LORD AND OUR

SAVIOR BEYOND A SHADOW OF A

DOUBT.

IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE BY FAR.

IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

LIKE ALL THE COLORS ALL OF

SOUNDS.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE A LITTLE

FORETASTE OF WHAT HAPPENS?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

TO JUST BE A PART OF IT TO HEAR

IT SURROUNDING YOU.

IT MAKES ME EXCITED TO SEE

WHAT HAPPENED WILL BE LIKE.

I AM SUPER EXCITED BUT NOT YET.

NOT YET.

NO NOT YET.

NOT YET.

SIXTH GRADERS FROM OUR LADY

OF VICTORY SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON

D.C. APPEARED CAPTIVATED BY THE

EXPERIENCE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY IT

WAS INTERACTIVE.

I'VE BEEN TO AN INTERACTIVE

THING LIKE THAT BEFORE BUT NOT

ALL AROUND AND LIKE WITH THE

SCREENS AND THE PROJECTORS AND

EVERYTHING IT WAS AMAZING BUT I

THINK IT WAS AMAZING AND KIND

OF OUT OF THIS WORLD.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE

LIKE VIRTUAL REALITY SO THIS

WAS PRETTY COOL AND IT WAS KIND

OF LIKE THAT.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE?

MY FAVORITE PART WAS PROBABLY

THE RUNNING AROUND AND TOUCHING

THE WALLS.

IT WAS SO AWESOME LIKE THERE

WAS ALL THE AND ALL THE LIGHTS

AND THE SOUNDS.

IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING

THINGS I'VE BEEN TO SO FAR IN

MY LIFE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS FANTASTIC

ACTUALLY LIKE THE THERE WAS

LIKE ALL THESE COLORS AND LIKE

LIKE THE ANIMATION AND I JUST

REALLY LOVED IT.

FOR THEIR JENNA DRUMMOND IT

HELPED BRING THE OLD TESTAMENT

STORIES SHE'S BEEN TEACHING HER

STUDENTS TO LIFE.

GOING BACK TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN

TALKING ABOUT ALL YEAR, I TEACH

RELIGION FOR SIXTH GRADE WHICH

IS OLD TESTAMENT SO THE

CREATION STORY HOW WE CONTINUE

THAT IN OUR DAILY LIVES, HOW WE

CONTINUE PAY THAT FORWARD IN DC

AND FOR THE BIBLE MUSEUM IT'S A

WAY TO FOCUS GUESTS ON OUR

ORIGINAL PURPOSE AS CHILDREN

GOD WORSHIP IT IS OUR PURPOSE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CREATED

FOR, RIGHT?

SO GOD CREATED US AND YOU KNOW

HE OUR UNIVERSE TO SEE THE THE

GREATNESS OF OUR CREATION THE

GREATNESS OF GOD'S DESIGN IN

OUR EXISTENCE IT TAKES YOU TO

KIND OF A HUMBLE, REALLY

REFLECTIVE PLACE.

RIGHT.

AND I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS A

GOOD STARTING POINT TO KIND OF

FIND YOUR YOUR SPACE AND THE

CONTEXT OF OUR EXISTENCE OF

THIS WORLD.

AND I THINK THAT'S SPECIFICALLY

ATTRACTIVE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T

HAVE FAITH BACKGROUND DO I?

BECAUSE IT KIND OF GIVES

THEM THE NEW NORTH STAR KIND OF

TO UNDERSTAND SO WHAT ON EARTH

AM HERE FOR?

WENDY GRIFFITHS, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

WELL CONGRATULATIONS TO THE

GREEN FAMILY TO MUSEUM OF THE

BIBLE TO CARLOS CAMP OTHER THAN

THEIR PRESIDENT.

A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT AND IT JUST

YOU KNOW THEY KEEP PUSHING THE

ENVELOPE INTO NEW EXPERIENCES.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

AS I WAS WATCHING THAT I WAS

REMINDED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE

BEAUTY OF HAVING A CHILD LIKE

FAITH AND I LOVE THAT THE YOU

KNOW, THE MEANING AND THE

MISSION BEHIND THIS EXHIBIT IS

TO REMIND US THAT WE ARE

CHILDREN OF GOD.

AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHEN

YOU'RE IN THE FAITH FOR YEARS,

YOU KNOW, 30, 40 PLUS YEARS

YOU'RE GETTING OLDER YOU CAN

KIND OF FORGET THAT CHILDLIKE

PLAYFULNESS OF IT.

I MEAN I'M GETTING OLDER

TOO.

I AM SO BUT I THINK IT'S JUST

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL REMINDER LET'S

GO BACK TO OUR FIRST LOVE.

WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE MOST

TIME.

ONE OF THE KEYS TO

MAINTAINING CREATIVITY IS TO

FOLLOW TWO YEAR OLDS OR AROUND

A ROOM AND AS THEY EXPERIENCE

THINGS NEW REALIZE THAT YOU CAN

DO IT TOO.

YOU CAN HAVE THAT SAME

EXPERIENCE.

THE THING THAT THAT PIECE

REMINDED ME OF IS WHAT JESUS

SAID THERE'S A TIME COMING

WHERE WE'LL WORSHIP AND SPIRIT

AND TRUTH AND WHEN YOU CAN AN

IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT LIKE THAT

I JUST WONDER AT WHAT ARE LOCAL

CHURCHES GOING TO GET THE SAME

TECHNOLOGY AND ARE WE GOING TO

IN 2018.

BILL HYBELS DECIDED TO

RETIRE AS LEAD PASTOR OF WILLOW

CREEK CHURCH.

HE NAMED TEACHING PASTOR STEVE

CARTER TO BE SUCCESSOR.

THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER HYBELS

WAS ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ABUSE AND

STEVE WAS FACED WITH ONE OF THE

HARDEST DECISIONS OF HIS LIFE.

STEVE CARTER IS A

BESTSELLING AUTHOR, LEAD PASTOR

AT FOUR CITY CHURCH AND HOST OF

THE CRAFT AND CHARACTER

PODCAST.

AS THE FORMER CO-LEAD PASTOR AT

WILLOW CREEK COMMUNITY CHURCH,

STEVE WAS LIVING THE DREAM

UNTIL ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE

FOUNDING PASTOR BILL HYBELS

CHANGED EVERYTHING.

IN HIS BOOK GRIEF BREATHE,

STEVE CARTER SHARES HOW TO WALK

THROUGH PAIN AND LOSS AND FIND

HEALING ON THE OTHER SIDE A

MENTAL HEALING ON THE OTHER

SIDE.

EVERYONE PLEASE WELCOME TO THE

HUNDRED CLUB STEVE CARTER.

STEVE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING WITH US TODAY.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME ASHLEY

COURSE OF COURSE.

IT'S AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU.

LET'S GO BACK TO THOUSAND AND

EIGHT.

THAT IS WHEN YOU WERE LEAD

TEACHING AT THIS CHURCH WILLOW

CREEK.

IT WAS IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

WHAT WAS YOUR LIFE LIKE THEN?

WHAT WAS IT LIKE?

HOW WAS THE CHURCH THRIVING

THEN?

YEAH, WE WERE A CHURCH OF

SEVEN CAMPUSES.

IT WAS ABOUT 25,000 PEOPLE.

I WAS DOING CHAPLAINCY FOR THE

CHICAGO BEARS LIKE YOU KNOW SO

THERE WAS JUST SO MUCH WHERE I

LOVE THE CONGREGATION.

YEAH, I LOVE THE CITY.

I LOVE THE PEOPLE.

I LOVE MY MENTOR AND I HAD BEEN

WORKING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS

KIND OF JOB AND YEAH, YOU GET

IT.

AND THEN THE SURPRISE AND THE

SHOCK COMES.

YEAH.

SO BILL HYBELS WAS A MENTOR

YOU?

YES.

HE WAS THE LEAD PASTOR OF THE

CHURCH.

YES.

HE TAPPED YOU AS SUCCESSOR.

I MEAN WERE YOU EXPECTING.

LIKE I SAID, I DID NOT EXPECT

IT HAPPEN TO BE HONEST.

LIKE WHO AM I?

I'M JUST A KID FROM CAMARILLO,

CALIFORNIA.

BUT I FELL IN LOVE.

THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH I

FELL IN LOVE WITH JUST THE

CHANCE TO SERVE AND PASTOR AND

SO WHEN HE TAPPED MYSELF AND

ANOTHER PERSON TO KIND OF CARRY

ON THAT LEGACY IT WAS REALLY

REALLY HUMBLING.

YEAH WELL OBVIOUSLY THERE

WERE SOME SEXUAL ABUSE

ALLEGATIONS AGAINST BILL

HYBELS.

I MEAN WHEN DID YOU EVEN FIRST

HEAR ABOUT ALL OF THAT?

IN OCTOBER OF 2017 I GET

ANNOUNCED.

IT WASN'T UNTIL FEBRUARY 2018 I

HAD SUBMITTED A MANUSCRIPT FOR

A BOOK AND IT WAS REALLY GOING

TO BE KIND OF TIMOTHY AND

PAUL'S RELATIONSHIP AND KIND OF

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL.

AND IT WAS MY EDITOR WHO TOLD

ME, HEY, DO YOU KNOW THAT A

STORY IS COMING OUT IN THE

CHICAGO TRIBUNE ABOUT A PASTOR?

AND I WAS LIKE WHAT?

AND THEN IT FELT LIKE EVERY

SINGLE DAY MORE AND MORE

INFORMATION WAS COMING OUT.

ONCE THAT STORY WENT PUBLIC.

WELL, YOU ENDED UP MEETING

THESE VICTIMS AND I GUESS JUST

WALK

DID THAT HAPPEN?

WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR YOU?

YEAH WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN

LIKE A CRISIS IT'S HARD TO

DISCERN IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHO

TO TRUST.

AND I REALIZED THAT WHAT WAS

HAPPENING AT WILLOW WAS

EVERYONE WAS KIND OF LIKE

CIRCLING THE WAGONS, PRESERVING

AND PROTECTING AND I JUST FOUND

MYSELF WONDERING I DON'T KNOW

THESE WOMEN STORIES.

AND SO I WAS ABLE TO SHOW UP TO

THEIR HOME, TALK TO THEM ON THE

PHONE AND THEY GRACIOUSLY THE

STORIES WITH ME.

AND ONCE I HEARD THEIR STORIES

OH WOW, THERE'S THIS THIS IS

TRUTH AND THIS IS GOD'S HOUSE.

THIS IS HIS CHURCH.

I DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH TRUST

.

HOW DO WE ACTUALLY DO IT?

THE TAX TEACHES THE SCRIPTURES

TEACH US TO BE HONEST AND HUMAN

WITH OUR BROKENNESS AND REALLY

BE A VOICE AND ADVOCATE FOR THE

VOICELESS AND THE VICTIMS.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I

TRIED TO STEP INTO AND I WAS

GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WOMEN THAT

THEY COULD AT LEAST AS THE

COURAGE THAT THEY TOOK FEEL

HONORED AND SEEN THEY'RE

ABSOLUTELY COURAGEOUS.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WENT TO

CHURCH ABOUT ALL OF THIS?

YEAH, THEY WERE IN THIS TENSION

THE TENSION KIND OF WAS THIS IS

THE GUY WHO MARRIED US THIS IS

THE GUY WHO BAPTIZED US AND THE

GUY WHO'S BEEN OUR PASTOR.

SO THERE IS THIS COGNITIVE

DISSONANCE OF DO I ACTUALLY

WHAT THESE WOMEN ARE SAYING?

AND THEY FOUND JUST TRYING TO

REALLY PRESERVE THE INSTITUTION

RATHER THAN BE A VOICE FOR THE

VICTIMS.

WHY DO THINK?

I MEAN THIS IS NOT THE FIRST

TIME THAT WE'VE HEARD THAT

PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THE

VICTIMS.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

BECAUSE THEY DON'T TO BELIEVE

THAT IT'S TRUE.

THEY DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE

THEY WERE COMPLICIT TO BUILDING

SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY HURT

PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW

TO CONNECT WITH THE REALITY

WHERE THERE MIGHT BE 85% GOOD

AND 15% BAD AND.

THE TRUTH IS WE'RE ALL HUMAN.

WE'RE ALL IN NEED OF THE

SAVIOR.

WE'RE ALL IN NEED OF GRACE AND

PEACE AND THROUGH FOUND THROUGH

CHRIST BUT WE DON'T ALWAYS KNOW

HOW TO VERY HONEST ABOUT THAT.

WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK

YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE

VICTIMS AND BELIEVING THEM

BECAUSE THAT TAKES A OF

COURAGE.

ANOTHER AMAZINGLY COURAGEOUS

THING THAT YOU DID YOU CHOSE TO

WALK AWAY.

TALK ABOUT THAT.

I I MEAN THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT

YOUR BOOK IS ABOUT.

I MEAN THAT BLEW UP YOUR LIFE.

YEAH.

TALK ABOUT THAT.

I GUESS MY DREAM JOB LIKE I

SAID, I SAW THE FUTURE BUT THEN

ONE MORNING ON A SUNDAY MORNING

BEFORE I'M GETTING READY TO GO

TO CHURCH NEW YORK TIMES

ARTICLE BREAKS WITH ANOTHER

STORY ABOUT MY MENTOR AND I

JUST FOUND MYSELF GOING I CAN'T

GO BACK ON STAGE PLAY WITH

PEOPLE'S TRUST.

WE HAVE NAME SIN WE HAVE TO

TELL OUR PEOPLE WE TO BE A

VOICE AND DO WHAT THE BIBLE

TEACHES US.

AND WHEN I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE

THEY WERE GOING TO HANDLE THAT

IN THE RIGHT WAY I DECIDED TO

RESIGN AND I RESIGNED OVER A

BLOG POST AND JUST BASICALLY

SAYING HEY I, I STEP IN LINE

WITH THIS.

AND IT REALLY LED ME TO THE

DESERT LITERALLY AND

METAPHORICALLY TO CHURCH AND

METAPHORICALLY TO TRY AND

FIGURE OUT WHAT DO I DO WHEN

WHEN LIFE DOES WHAT IT SO OFTEN

DOES WHEN IT SHOCKS US.

YEAH.

AND THEN ALSO DURING THIS YOUR

FATHER PASSED AWAY.

GOSH, THAT'S HARD.

I MEAN, HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO

COPE AND MOVE FORWARD IN THIS

TIME IN YOUR LIFE?

ACTUALLY I DON'T I DON'T

KNOW HOW.

HONESTLY, IT WAS EIGHT MONTHS

AFTER I LOSE MY SPIRITUAL

FATHER.

LOSE MY EARTHLY FATHER AND

THERE'S LIKE THERE WAS A MOMENT

I LOOKED UP TO THE AND I WAS

LIKE LORD, I DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING MORE I DON'T HAVE ANY

MORE CAPACITY FOR SADNESS AND

LOSS AND YET GOD REALLY, REALLY

MET ME IN THAT TIME.

YEAH HE SPOKE SOMETHING

SPECIFICALLY TO YOU.

CAN YOU SHARE THAT?

YEAH.

THERE WERE THESE THREE WORDS

GRIEVE, BREATHE, RECEIVE AND

THAT KIND OF WAS AT THE HEART

OF THE BOOK.

YEAH I KNEW HOW TO ACHIEVE I

JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GRIEVE

IN ONE.

ONE NIGHT HE WOKE ME UP IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND SAID

YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE YOUR WAY OUT

OF THIS.

YOU CAN ONLY GRIEVE YOUR WAY

THROUGH IT AND I'LL NEVER

FORGET JUST JOURNALING THAT AND

I REALIZED WELL, I HAD TO DO

SOME SOUL SEARCHING TO ACTUALLY

RECOGNIZE SO MUCH OF THE PSALMS

ARE ABOUT LAMENT AND ACTUALLY

SADNESS AND GRIEF.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO

IT.

I KNEW HOW TO SET GOALS I HAD

TO CHASE I KNEW HOW TO GO

AFTER.

BUT TO ACTUALLY SIT AND TRUST

GOD THE SADNESS I NEEDED TO

LEARN.

WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY OF

US I MEAN WE ALL GO THROUGH

GRIEVING SEASONS.

WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S SO HARD

FOR US TO JUST SIT IN OUR

GRIEF?

I MEAN I CAN SPEAK FOR MY

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IT'S LIKE

THAT'S THE LAST THING I WANT TO

DO IS SIT IN MY GRIEF AND

MOURNING.

BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMETIMES

THE BEST THING WE CAN DO.

IT IS I WE DON'T LIKE TO BE OUT

OF CONTROL.

SO SOMETIMES IF WE HAVE TO BE

HONEST WITH OUR GRIEF THEN WHAT

WE'RE WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING

IS HAVING SURRENDER OUR CONTROL

OF THE FEELINGS AND THE

EMOTIONS AND THEN ALSO WE DON'T

KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO NEXT AND

THE NEXT AFTERNOON OR THE NEXT

MEETING AND THE LIKE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE OUT OF

CONTROL EMOTIONALLY SO WE JUST

STUFF AND MINIMIZE.

BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH YOU'RE

GOING TO HAVE TO PAY RENT ON

THAT GRIEF AT SOME POINT AND IT

WILL COME AND IT USUALLY

DOESN'T COME AT THE BEST TIME.

OH MY GOSH.

WELL, STEVE, I MEAN WE COULD

TALK FOR HOURS BUT THE LAST

THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU IS

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE LIKE TODAY?

WELCOME BACK TO WASHINGTON

FOR THE CBN NEWSBREAK.

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS PREPARING TO

ANNOUNCE PROPOSALS REFORM THE

SUPREME COURT.

THEY WOULD INCLUDE ESTABLISHING

TERM FOR JUSTICES AND ENFORCING

AN ETHICS CODE ALTHOUGH THE

CHANGES WOULD REQUIRE

CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL.

OUTRAGE BY DEMOCRATS OVER

DECISIONS ON ABORTION AND

FEDERAL REGULATORY POWERS AND

RECENT ETHICS QUESTIONS

DONATIONS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

RELATED TO JUSTICES CLARENCE

THOMAS AND SAMUEL ALITO.

WELL, A JURY FOUND NEW JERSEY

DEMOCRAT SENATOR BOB MENENDEZ

GUILTY IN HIS FEDERAL

CORRUPTION CASE.

JURORS HIM ON CHARGES INCLUDING

BRIBERY, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

AND ACTING AS A FOREIGN AGENT.

PROSECUTORS SAY HE ACCEPTED

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF

DOLLARS IN BRIBES AND USED HIS

POWER TO BENEFIT NEW JERSEY AS

WELL AS FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.

MENENDEZ SAYS HE WILL APPEAL

DANNY'S PARENTS WERE DESPERATE.

THEY HAD NO WAY HELP THEIR SON

WHO WAS BORN WITH A CLEFT

PALATE.

ON SUNDAY'S ALL THEY COULD DO

WAS CRY.

DANNY WAS BORN WITH A CLEFT

LIP.

HIS MOTHER TOO WAS HEARTBROKEN

AND SAID SHE FELT LIKE A

FAILURE AS A MOM.

I WONDERED WHAT THEY DID TO

CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.

WENT FOR ULTRASOUNDS DURING MY

PREGNANCY.

DOCTORS SAID EVERYTHING

LOOKED NORMAL.

AFTER DANNY'S BIRTH, HIS

DAD SAID HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE

TO TURN HELP FOR HIS SON.

ALL HE KNEW WAS THAT HE WOULD

BE THERE FOR HIS LITTLE BOY AND

TAKE CARE OF HIM.

I FELT HOPELESS.

I COULDN'T CONTROL MY

EMOTIONS.

SOMETIMES I WANTED TO CRY

BECAUSE OF HIS CLEFT PALATE

BECAUSE I AFFORD TO HELP.

THEN A RELATIVE TOLD TO IN

ABOUT OPERATION BLESSING.

THANKS TO YOU WE ARRANGED AND

PAID FOR GHANA TO RECEIVE FREE

SURGERY TO REPAIR THE CLEFT LIP

.

THAT SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.

SEEING HIM SMILE MAKES ME FEEL

STRONGER AND MORE MOTIVATED.

EVERY DAY I BEAT HIM AND

LOOK AFTER HIM.

YOU FOR HELPING MY SON.

HE HAS GAINED WEIGHT.

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT

BLESSINGS YOU CANNOT CONTAIN.

NEVER HAD THAT STILL SMALL

VOICE SPEAKING YOU HERE'S A

THAT YOU COULD BE WITH FOR ALL

ETERNITY IF YOU WANT HELP WITH

THIS PRAYER ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS CALL US ONE HUNDRED 707,000

JUST SAY I WANT TO MEET JESUS.

I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS REAL

IF IT CAN REALLY HAPPEN FOR ME.

CALL US 1-800-700-7000 ASHLEY

ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW,

EVERYONE.

WE'VE GOT EMAIL QUESTIONS THAT

GORDON WILL ANSWER.

YEAH, I STILL WANT TO SEE

YOUR REACTION.

I MEAN OKAY, I CAN GIVE MY

$0.02 ON THIS ONE.

THIS IS SUSAN.

I'VE BEEN WITH MY PARTNER 19

YEARS.

HE WANTS TO KNOW WHY DO YOU

NEED A MARRIAGE LICENSE?

I MEAN LISTEN IF YOU'VE BEEN

WITH SOMEONE FOR 19 YEARS I

WOULD SAY EITHER OR GET

MARRIED.

19 YEARS IS LONG TIME.

I WOULD AS A WOMAN THAT I MEAN

SHOWS THAT HE'S NOT WILLING TO

MAYBE GO THE DISTANCE.

I MEAN HE'S GONE THE DISTANCE

FOR 19 YEARS, YOU KNOW, BUT

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE LIKE

MARRIED LIKE CHOOSE THE

BIBLICAL RIGHT WAY.

CAN WE SPELL IT OUT

R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

RIGHT, EXACTLY.

YOU'RE NOT BEING RESPECTED.

YEAH.

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT YOU WOULD

BE CALLED A CONCUBINE IN

TODAY'S MODERN ENGLISH YOU'RE

CALLED A MISTRESS.

ARE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS THAT

COME WITH THAT 19 YEARS?

THE ANSWER'S YES.

YEAH, BUT WHY NOT GIVE YOU THE

DIGNITY OF BEING A WIFE?

OF BEING NOT JUST A BUT

TOGETHER AND RECOGNIZE LEGALLY?

MM HMM.

AND I THINK MORE IMPORTANTLY

AND, THIS HAS CERTAINLY BEEN

LOST IN OUR CULTURE TODAY AND

WHAT'S BEEN CALLED THE HOOKUP

CULTURE.

BUT JUST SPIRITUALLY THAT YOU

HAVE COME TOGETHER AND HAVE

MADE VOWS BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY

THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ONE FLESH

AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE

ONE FAMILY.

THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS

IS A SACRAMENT.

AND I THINK WE'VE LOST SIGHT OF

THAT IN AMERICA TODAY AND

EUROPE TODAY.

UNFORTUNATELY IT'S BEING

SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD.

THIS DOESN'T LEAD TO THE

BLESSING THAT GOD TO HAVE FOR

YOU.

SO I'VE USED SOME HARD WORDS

BUT I THINK THEY'RE TRUE AND

I'LL SPELL IT OUT AGAIN

R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

.

YEAH.

I MEAN BREAKUPS ARE TOUGH BUT I

THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST THING IF

HE'S NOT WANTING TO BREAK UP.

I WANT HIM TO GET MARRIED.

WELL, NO, I'M SAYING HE'S NOT

WILLING TO GO 19 YEARS YOU'RE

KIND OF INVESTED IF HE'S NOT

WILLING TO GET MARRIED, THAT

MIGHT BE A CHOICE.

OKAY, HERE'S FROM TERRI.

SAID I OR HE I HAVE A BAD KNEE

AND I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN

FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

RECENTLY I HAD SOMEONE PRAY AND

I FELT THE PAIN LEAVE.

I BELIEVED WITH ALL MY HEART IT

WAS HEALED.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE PAIN IS

COMING.

NOT SEVERE BUT IT'S THERE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IS IT MY FAITH IS GOD TRYING TO

GET MY ATTENTION?

TERRI, IT'S NOT YOUR FAITH

AND IT'S NOT GOD.

THERE IS AN ENEMY.

HIS NAME IS DEVIL.

AND WHAT DOES HE WANT TO DO?

HE WANTS TO ROB FROM YOU.

HE WANTS TO STEAL YOUR HEALING.

HE WANTS TO TAKE IT FROM YOU.

RESIST HIM AND HE WILL FLEE.

YOU'VE EXPERIENCED A HEALING.

RESIST IT WHEN SYMPTOMS COMES

BACK.

IT'S JUST TRYING TO SEPARATE

YOU FROM GOD.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S THAT'S HIS

WHOLE GOAL.

HE WANTS TO TRY AND REMOVE YOUR

INHERITANCE.

DON'T LET HIM DO IT.

STAND FAST IN THE FREEDOM WHERE

CHRIST HAS MADE YOU FREE.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO GET ANOTHER ONE?

OKAY.

THIS IS FROM RYAN.

HOW CAN SOMEONE SO LOST AS

MYSELF THE LORD SPEAK TO ME?

I HONESTLY DO WANT MY LIFE TO

HAVE A PURPOSE.

HERE'S A SCRIPTURE FOR YOU.

IT'S FROM PSALM 139 A IF I MAKE

MY BED AND BEHOLD YOU ARE

THERE.

SO RYAN, YOU HAVEN'T GONE SO

FAR THAT GOD CAN'T REACH YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CRY OUT

TO HIM.

IF YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE IN,

JUST CRY OUT.

LORD SAVE ME SAVE ME NOW YOU

CAN COME TO YOURSELF AND WHO

YOU ARE YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.

NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE CAN

EVER CANCEL THAT.

HERE'S A WORD FROM SECOND

TIMOTHY ALL SCRIPTURE AS GOD

AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING

REBUKING, CORRECTING AND
