HOTEL LOBBY COMPLETELY

UNDERWATER AND THE STORM

TURNING DEADLY AFTER A SIGN

DRIVER IN CEDAR CEDAR KEY.

THIS MAN STAYING TO RIDE OUT

THE STORM.

IT'S THE WORST STORM I'VE EVER

BEEN IN IN MY WHOLE LIFE AND

RIGHT NOW FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE

ISLAND IS COMING APART.

THE THE STORM SURGE IS CLOSING

IN ON THREE SIDES.

SEVERAL OF OUR STREETS ARE

IMPASSABLE.

THERE ARE TREES DOWN

EVERYWHERE.

IF THE WIND SOUNDS LIKE A

FREIGHT TRAIN OUTSIDE RIGHT

NOW.

THOSE WHO DEFIED MANDATORY

EVACUATION ORDERS ASKED TO

WRITE THEIR NAME, BIRTHDATE AND

OTHER INFORMATION ON THEIR ARMS

OR LEGS SO THEY CAN BE

IDENTIFIED FACING POTENTIALLY

SERIOUS DAMAGE AND LIFE

THREATENING CONDITIONS HAVE

BEEN FRUSTRATED WITH HAVING TO

DEAL WITH YET ANOTHER.

IT'S LIKE A BAD DREAM OVER

AND OVER.

IT'S LIKE A CLEANUP FOR

ONE STORM.

SIX MONTHS LATER ARE YOU

GETTING HIT AGAIN OR OR EIGHT

MONTHS LATER GETTING HIT AGAIN?

SOME WERE STILL TRYING TO

GET OUT AS WATER BEGAN FILLING

ROADS.

MORE THAN A MILLION HOMES AND

BUSINESSES ARE WITHOUT POWER.

LAST SUMMER HURRICANE IDEAL

YEAR BROUGHT ABOUT NINE FEET OF

STORM SURGE IN THE SAME REGION

IN FLORIDA WHERE HELENE HIT

LEAVING MOST HOMES UNDERWATER.

HELENE EXPECT IT TO DELIVER

CATASTROPHIC STORM SURGE 20

FEET.

THAT WITH OTHERS AND TO SHOW

AND SPREAD NOT ONLY THE LIGHT

IN THE GOSPEL BUT THE LOVE THAT

CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS.

EVEN WITH THE WARNINGS AND

MEDIA COVERAGE ABOUT THIS STORM

I THINK IT'S STILL TAKEN A LOT

OF FOLKS BY SURPRISE AND SEEING

THE FOOTAGE ON OTHER NETWORKS

AS WELL.

YOU'RE SEEING IS HORRENDOUS

THIS FLOODING AND AS I SPEAK

IT'S STILL RAGING NOW WHAT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN IF YOU'VE NEVER

BEEN IN A DISASTER ZONE AFTER A

HURRICANE.

FOR INSTANCE, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO

BE WITH OPERATION BLESSING ON

MANY TIMES TIMES REPORTING AND

WHEN PEOPLE GET BACK TO THEIR

HOMES THEY ARE LITERALLY GOING

TO BE STARING AT AT THEIR

PROPERTY WHAT'S LEFT OF IT OR

WALKING IN CIRCLES BECAUSE

THEY'RE ALSO DEALING WITH

TRAUMA SO THEY HAVE TO PICK UP

THE PIECES REGARDING THEIR HOME

AND MOVING FORWARD AND THEY'RE

TRAUMATIZED.

AND WHAT OPERATION BLESSING IS

DO IS PUT AN ARM AROUND PEOPLE

AND SAY WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.

LET US BEGIN.

YOU PICK UP THE PIECES.

ALSO FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND

THOSE WHO VOLUNTEER TO HELP I

MEAN IT'S EVEN EVEN CUTTING

TREES OFF OF HOUSES WE HAVE

VOLUNTEERS WHO DO THAT IN

COMING DAYS THESE RELIEF

WORKERS AT THE END OF THE DAY

WHERE THEY'RE PROBABLY SLEEPING

ON A CHURCH FLOOR NEED AND

DESIRE A HOT MEAL AND WE'RE

THAT AS WELL.

WE CAN HELP EVERYBODY EVERY

FAMILY IN EVERY STATE STATE BUT

WE CAN MAKE A TREMENDOUS

DIFFERENCE IN MANY COMMUNITIES

WORKING WITH CHURCHES.

SO THE TIME IS NOW TO HELP.

AS YOU HEARD IN THAT REPORT

IT'S A GREAT TO STEP UP AND

SHOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.

IN OTHER NEWS, THE PRESIDENTIAL

RACE IS IN THE HOMESTRETCH.

CANDIDATES ARE FOCUSING ON KEY

SWING STATES THAT WILL WINS THE

WHITE HOUSE.

WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THAT STORY

AND MORE FROM OUR CBN WENDY.

THANKS, ANDREW.

PENNSYLVANIA PROVE TO BE THE

MOST IMPORTANT SWING STATE OF

ALL ALL.

GIVING THE WINNER THE VICTORY

IN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

POLLS SHOW AN EXTREMELY TIGHT

RACE THERE.

CBN'S JENNA BROWDER TRAVELED TO

THE KEYSTONE STATE TO TALK WITH

VOTERS.

IT'S ELECTION SEASON IN ALL

IMPORTANT PENNSYLVANIA FROM THE

BIG CITIES TO THE SMALL TOWNS

AND COMMUNITIES.

WE'LL DO THAT YOU FROM THE

WHITE HOUSE.

ALL RIGHT.

BOTH CAMPAIGNS ARE

CRISSCROSSING THE STATE AND

SPENDING BIG BUCKS HERE.

AND FOR GOOD REASON.

PENNSYLVANIA HAS 19 ELECTORAL

VOTES MORE THAN ANY OTHER

BATTLEGROUND STATE.

AND IF HISTORY IS ANY

INDICATION, VOTERS HERE HAVE

PICKED OF THE LAST 12

PRESIDENTIAL WINNERS.

KAMALA HARRIS IN

PHILADELPHIA WE FOUND

OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FOR VICE

PRESIDENT.

I FEEL AS THOUGH SHE'S MORE

FOR THE PEOPLE.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND JUST FOR THE

PEOPLE.

AND THAT'S EXPECTED HAS TO

RUN UP HER NUMBERS HERE AND IN

OTHER BIG CITIES.

SHE SHE ALSO HAS TO BUILD ON

DEMOCRATS SUCCESS IN

SURROUNDING SUBURBS.

RACE WILL NOT BE WON

PITTSBURGH OR PHILADELPHIA.

SALENA THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

LIVES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND IS

VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE STATE'S

POLITICS.

THIS RACE WILL BE WON IN

OTHER COUNTIES BY ABOUT 500

EXTRA VOTERS IN EACH COUNTY

OVER WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020.

AND THAT'S WHY BOTH

CAMPAIGNS ARE MAKING

PENNSYLVANIA'S RURAL

COMMUNITIES A PRIORITY?

THIS IS JOHNSTOWN IN WESTERN

PENNSYLVANIA.

THE AREA WENT FOR TRUMP IN 2016

AND 2020 BUT THIS TIME AROUND

THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN COULD

OPPORTUNITY.

SHE'S FOR PEOPLE IN THE

DOWNTOWN FOUND MORE SUPPORT FOR

HARRIS THAN FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

I'M I'M THAT SMALL BUSINESS

OWNER AND SHE'S ALL ABOUT

GETTING HELP FOR SMALL

BUSINESSES.

BUT ON THE EDGES OF TOWN AND

THOSE LINING EVERY ROAD WE

TRAVELED MEAN ANYTHING.

TRUMP REMAINS AS S

IN THIS PART OF THE THE STATE.

I'M A TRUMP GUY AND I'M

VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP.

FIVE MILES NORTH IN INDIANA,

PENNSYLVANIA TRUMP ENTHUSIASM

APPEARED AS ELECTRIC AS EVER

THOUSANDS COMING FROM ACROSS

WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO SUPPORT

THE 45TH PRESIDENT.

SOME UPWARDS OF 10 HOURS IN

THE RAIN TO GET IN.

SOMETIMES THE THE MEAN

TWEETS AND SO FORTH THAT HIS

POLICIES ARE ARE SPOT ON FOR

THIS COUNTRY AND WE NEED HELP.

I WORK FOR MY MONEY.

I DON'T WANT TO KEEP GIVING

AWAY ONE GROUP OF WOMEN EVEN

DROVE ALL THE WAY UPSTATE NEW

YORK AND WHAT MADE PEOPLE WANT

TO COME 6 HOURS TO BE HERE.

WE LOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP AND

LIKE IT'S NOW MORE IMPORTANT

THAN EVER TO ACTUALLY SHOW SHOW

YOUR SUPPORT FOR A CANDIDATE

AND HE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO

WIN.

TRUMP IS LOOKING TO EXPAND

HIS NUMBERS IN THESE RURAL

COUNTIES THAT HE CARRIED WITH

THAN 70% IN 2020.

HE ALSO NEEDS TO CHIP AWAY

STRENGTH IN THE BIG CITIES AND

SUBURBS.

OTHER KEY AREAS STATE INCLUDE

NORTHAMPTON AND ERIE COUNTIES

BOTH A BELLWETHER FOR THE RACE.

I EXPECT A LOT OF TIME SPENT

.

TRUMP AND VANCE IN ERIE IS THE

MOST IMPORTANT COUNTY NOT JUST

IN THE STATE BUT IN THE ENTIRE

COUNTRY AS GO ERIE COUNTY SO

GOES THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

THE.

THE X FACTOR IN IT ALL IS

TURNOUT.

POLLING IN PENNSYLVANIA

CONSISTENTLY SHOWS ABOUT 95% OF

VOTERS ALREADY HAVE THEIR MINDS

MADE UP.

THE GOAL FOR BOTH CAMPAIGNS

IS TO ATTRACT A JUST A FROM THE

OTHER CAMP IN THIS ALL

IMPORTANT BATTLEGROUND WE'LL BE

WATCHING CLOSELY ON ELECTION

NIGHT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

JENNA BROWDER, CBN NEWS.

THANKS JENNA.

SOME SAY AS PENNSYLVANIA GOES

SO GOES THE THE ELECTION.

WE'LL SEE.

WELL, ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU ADDRESS THE

UN TODAY AS CHRIS MITCHELL

REPORTS FROM JERUSALEM.

HIS SPEECH COMES WHILE ISRAEL'S

ENEMIES CONTINUE THEIR ROCKET

AND MANY NATIONS CALL FOR A

CEASE FIRE.

AIR RAID SIRENS ACROSS TEL

AVIV EARLY TODAY AS THE HOUTHIS

AIMED A MISSILE AT ISRAEL'S

HIGH TECH CENTER FROM YEMEN.

THE ISRAELI MILITARY SAID ITS

ARROW ANTI-MISSILE SYSTEM

INTERCEPTED IT IN BEIRUT.

THE IDF ELIMINATED ANOTHER TOP

HEZBOLLAH THIS TIME THE ONE WHO

OVERSAW THE TERROR GROUP'S

DRONES AND CRUISE MISSILES.

MOHAMMED SCHWAR WAS ALSO POINT

A TOP ADVISER TO THE HOUTHIS IN

YEMEN AND AND HOW BEST TO USE

THEIR DRONES AND MISSILES.

THAT ATTACK CAME AS THE WHITE

HOUSE IS UPSET THAT ISRAEL IS

REJECTING AND INTERNATIONAL

CALL FOR A CEASE FIRE

ESPECIALLY AFTER THE AMERICANS

SAY THEY BELIEVE TOP ISRAELIS

HAD ALREADY GIVEN TACIT

APPROVAL TO THAT VERY PUBLIC

APPEAL.

WE WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUED IT WHEN

AND HOW WE DID IF IT WASN'T

SUPPORTED BY THE CONVERSATIONS

THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH TOP

ISRAELI OFFICIALS YESTERDAY AND

THOSE CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE

TODAY.

AND ISRAELI GOVERNMENT

SPOKESMAN CLARIFIED PRIME

MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S

POSITION.

REPORTS ABOUT A CEASE FIRE

ALREADY AGREED ARE NOT

ACCURATE.

THE PRIME MINISTER'S REITERATED

THAT YES OF COURSE ISRAEL TO

DIPLOMACY AS WE HAVE BEEN IT'S

ALWAYS ALWAYS OUR GO TO OPTION.

AFTER NETANYAHU LANDED IN

THE U.S. FOR A SPEECH TODAY AT

THE U.N. HE AGAIN MADE CLEAR

WHY HE WANTS TO KEEP UP THE WAR

ON HEZBOLLAH.

MY POLICY OUR POLICY IS

CLEAR TO STRIKE HEZBOLLAH WITH

FULL FORCE AND WE AND WE WILL

NOT STOP UNTIL WE REACH ALL OUR

GOALS.

CHIEF AMONG THEM THE RETURN OF

THE RESIDENTS OF THE NORTH

SECURELY TO THEIR HOMES.

IN HIS U.N. SPEECH,

NETANYAHU IS EXPECTED TO ARGUE

ISRAEL'S OFFENSIVE ATTACKS ON

HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS ARE A

JUSTIFIED DEFENSE AGAINST THOSE

TERROR GROUPS.

WAR TO WIPE OUT JEWS AND THE

JEWISH STATE.

ADDRESS COMES AFTER PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY LEADER MAHMOUD MADE

HIS CASE TO THE U.N. THURSDAY.

ALTHOUGH ABOUT ESTABLISHING A

PALESTINIAN STATE ALONGSIDE

ISRAEL.

HE ALSO HINTED AT KICKING THE

JEWS ON WHAT HE HE CALLED

PALESTINE.

WHAT'S THAT NOW?

IT REMAIN OURS.

AND IF ANYONE WERE TO LEAVE IT

IT WOULD BE THE OCCUPIER

USURPERS.

ABBAS ALSO CLAIMED THE

TEMPLE MOUNT IN JERUSALEM, THE

HOLIEST SITE IN JUDAISM IS

QUOTE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF

MUSLIMS.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT NEARLY 50,000

JEWS GATHERED TO THE TEMPLE

MOUNT TO PRAY FOR THE SWIFT

RETURN OF THE HOSTAGES, THE

SAFETY OF THE SOLDIERS AND FOR

THE SECURITY AND UNITY OF THE

PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBS NEWS,

JERUSALEM THANKS CHRIS.

ANDREW ISRAEL CONTINUED TO

DEFEND ITSELF ON ALL FRONTS.

THANK YOU, WENDY.

AS THINGS TO ESCALATE.

I WAS JUST THINKING THIS

MORNING AND LOOKING AT THE

NEWS YOU KNOW THE UNITED THIS

NATURAL DISASTER OF HORRIFIC

WHAT'S GOING ON AND AND AND

GAZA IS REAL AND THE WAR KEEPS

ESCALATING MORE AND MORE

VIOLENCE AND WE'RE IN A

POLITICAL SEASON.

THERE IS A LOT IN THE NEWS TO

KEEP US ANXIOUS AND DRAW OUR

ATTENTION AND I JUST IN SOME

PRIOR TIME FELT LED TO ISAIAH

26 WHERE THE WORD SAYS YOU WILL

KEEP PERFECT PEACE.

THOSE WHOSE MINDS ARE STEADFAST

ON YOU LORD BECAUSE WE TRUST IN

YOU THAT'S GOING ON IN THE

WORLD AND ALL THEY CAN TAKE OUR

ATTENTION AND CAUSE US ANXIETY

STRESS.

LET'S REMEMBER IF YOU'RE

WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND YOU

LOVE THE LORD SCRIPTURE AND

CHRIST BE YOUR FOUNDATION IT'S

ALL THAT'S HAPPENING PRAY FOR

ISRAEL, PRAY FOR THE REGION BUT

STAY GROUNDED IN THE WORD AND I

PRAY FOR YOU.

ROMANS 15 MAY THE GOD OF HOPE

FILL YOU WITH ALL PEACE AND JOY

AS YOU'RE OVERPOWERED BY THE

HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.

WE HAVE PEACE IN JESUS IN A

STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN ALL DAY

ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS.

WITH THE ELECTION WEEKS

AWAY.

BOTH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

ARE FOCUSED ON THE ECONOMY AND

PROBLEMS HERE AT HOME.

YET FOR MANY VOTERS FOREIGN

POLICY IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO

DEALING WITH THE WORLD

SUPERPOWERS.

NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT

KAITLIN BURKE BRINGS US THIS

LOOK AT THE NOMINEES STAND ON

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH

RUSSIA AT WAR IN UKRAINE AND

INCREASING AGGRESSION IN THE

INDO-PACIFIC FROM CHINA.

WHOEVER TAKES OVER HOUSE WILL

NEED A CLEAR FOREIGN POLICY

AGENDA.

I I THINK THE PLACE I'D

BEGIN IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT EVEN

THOUGH THE HEADLINES OFTEN SEEM

TERRIBLE, THE UNITED STATES IN

A FAIRLY STRONG STRATEGIC

POSITION WORLDWIDE WE'RE NOT

FIGHTING ANY OTHER GREAT

POWERS.

WE HAVE SYSTEM OF ALLIANCES IN

HISTORY WHEN IT COMES.

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS

SAYS IF ELECTED SHE WOULD

CONTINUE TO STAND BY AMERICA'S

PARTNERS AND ENSURE THE REMAINS

A GLOBAL LEADER.

SHE ACCUSES HER OPPONENT OF

TAKING ISOLATIONIST APPROACH.

JUST IMAGINE DONALD TRUMP

WITH NO GUARDRAILS AND HOW HE

THE IMMENSE POWERS OF THE

PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES

NOT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE NOT TO

STRENGTHEN OUR NATIONAL

SECURITY BUT SERVE THE ONLY

CLIENT HE HAS EVER HAD HIMSELF.

THE FORMER HAS BEEN CRITICAL

OF ALLIANCES LIKE NAITO.

AND IF ELECTED IS EXPECTED

TO INSIST MEMBER COUNTRIES

INCREASE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE

ORGANIZATION AND OVERALL

DEFENSE SPENDING AS PRESIDENT.

HE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE

PENTAGON'S BUDGET AND MADE

CHINA AND RUSSIA RUSSIA HIS

NATIONAL SECURITY PRIORITIES.

DURING THE RECENT ABC

NEWS DEBATE, TRUMP POINTED TO

STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH

RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN AND

UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR

ZELENSKY.

RUSSIA WOULD NOT HAVE INVADED

UKRAINE IF HE WERE IN OFFICE.

THE WAR WITH UKRAINE AND

RUSSIA ENDED.

IF I'M PRESIDENT ELECT I'LL

GET IT DONE BEFORE EVEN

BECOMING PRESIDENT.

HARRIS SAYS HER

ADMINISTRATION WOULD CONTINUE

SUPPORT UKRAINE'S DEFENSIVE

EFFORTS AGAINST RUSSIA FOR AS

LONG AS IT TAKES.

OTHERWISE PUTIN WOULD BE

SITTING IN KIEV WITH HIS EYES

ON THE REST OF EUROPE STARTING

WITH POLAND.

I THINK BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE

SAID USEFUL THINGS ABOUT ABOUT

HOW TO GO FORWARD.

TRUMP HAS UNDERSCORED THAT HE

WANTS THE WAR TO END.

I'M SURE HARRIS AGREES BUT SHE

ALSO WANTS TO UNDERSCORE THAT

UKRAINE IS IN THE RIGHT AND

DESERVES TO HAVE ITS

SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORY AND

PEOPLE PROTECTED.

I THINK IF WE BEGIN WITH POINTS

WE COULD ACTUALLY WORK OUR WAY

TOWARDS A REASONABLE.

MEANWHILE WHEN IT COMES TO

CHINA, MICHAEL O'HANLON WITH

THE, THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION

BELIEVES THAT BEIJING'S

AGGRESSIVE STANCE TOWARD TAIWAN

AND WILL BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

CHINA THINKS TAIWAN IS OF

CHINA AND WE TRY TO DETER CHINA

BY TELLING WE MIGHT RESPOND

WITH U.S. MILITARY FORCE IF SO,

EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO AMERICAN

TREATY AND IT'S NOT A FORMAL

ALLIANCE.

THAT'S A DELICATE LINE TO WALK

AND IT REQUIRES SOPHISTICATION

AND.

BOTH HARRIS AND TRUMP ARE GOING

TO EITHER ONE WOULD HAVE TO

LEARN I THINK HOW TO HANDLE

THAT WELL.

TELLS CBN NEWS HE'D ALSO LIKE

TO HEAR MORE FROM BOTH

CANDIDATES NORTH KOREA AND IRAN

AND ENCOURAGES EACH TO HAVE A

BROAD PRIORITY LIST WHEN IT

COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY.

I COME BACK TO A FRAMING

THAT GENERAL JOSEPH DUNFORD

EMPLOYED WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF

THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF 2015

TO 2019 AND HE USED TO TALK

ABOUT FOUR PLUS ONE RUSSIA,

CHINA, NORTH KOREA, IRAN AND,

TERRORISM SLASH EXTREMISM SLASH

CRIME.

AND I THINK IF WE PREPARE

AGAINST ALL FIVE OF THOSE

THREATS WE'RE PROBABLY DOING

ABOUT AS WE CAN BY WAY OF

VIGILANCE.

ONE LAST ISSUE THAT KEY

FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC POLICY IS

BORDER SECURITY, A MAJOR TOPIC

FOR TRUMP WHO SAYS HE WOULD

BRING BACK BORDER POLICIES

PLACE WHILE ALSO IMPLEMENTING

LARGE SCALE DEPORTATIONS.

HARRIS SAYS SHE WOULD WORK TO

BRING BACK PRESIDENT BIDEN'S

BIPARTISAN SECURITY BILL AND

FOCUS ON MORE COMPREHENSIVE

IMMIGRATION.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

THANKS CAITLIN.

HERE'S THE THING JUST LIKE THE

STORY EARLIER WE SAW, IT'S IT'S

THE SWING STATES AND IN THESE

AREAS ISRAEL, GAZA THREATS FROM

CHINA.

INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMACY TRUMP'S

AHEAD IN KEY SWING STATES AND

VISIT NME.COM OR CALL 800 7984

SEVEN ONE.

SAM IS GOOD WITH NUMBERS AND

HE HAS AN MBA.

HE HAD TROUBLE BALANCING HIS

BUDGET.

POINT HE WAS BEHIND ON HIS

BILLS DEEP IN DEBT AND EVICTED

FROM HIS HOME SAM ODURO AND HIS

WIFE NAN LIVE IN NORTHERN.

SAM WORKS IN NEW YORK CITY AT

THE NUMBER THREE ACCOUNTING

FIRM IN THE WORLD.

HE'S APPROACHED WITH MULTIPLE

JOB OFFERS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

IN 2016, SAM'S CAREER BEGAN

WITH AN UNEXPLAINED JOB LOSS

AFTER COLLEGE.

THE COMPANY GAVE HIM TWO WEEKS

OF SEVERANCE PAY BUT HE HAD NO

MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS

TO TO HIS NAME.

I WAS LIVING OFF CREDIT CARDS

AND I STARTED TO PAY ALL MY

OPERATING EXPENSES PHONE BILL,

CAR.

EVENTUALLY I DIDN'T HAVE THE

MONEY TO PAY OR I HAD AN

EVICTION NOTICE AT MY DOOR

ONE DAY AND THAT SAME DAY WHILE

READING THE EVICTION EVICTION

NOTICE I HEAR LIKE A TOW TRUCK.

THE BANK SEES MY CAR FOR

MISSED PAYMENTS.

I HAVE THREE DAYS TO GET OUT OF

MY APARTMENT.

JUST DIDN'T KNOW.

NEXT.

WHEN SAM REACHED OUT TO FAMILY

AND FRIENDS FOR HELP WAS JUST

ENOUGH TO STAY IN HIS APARTMENT

AND TEMPORARILY KEEP HIS CAR.

SAM LEANED INTO HIS FAITH.

I SAID LORD YOU'RE ALL I HAVE.

LITERALLY, YOU KNOW.

SO I WENT ON MY KNEES AND

PRAYED FASTED DAYS.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SAM DROVE

FOR A RIDESHARE COMPANY TO MAKE

ENDS MEET.

HE REMAINED STEADFAST IN HIS

FAITH DRIVING IN A RIDESHARE

WITH AN MBA.

IT WAS VERY HUMBLING IF YOU

WANT TO SAY AND I WAS LIKE HOW

CAN CAN I BE IN THIS SITUATION

RIGHT NOW?

I QUICKLY TRY TO BUILD MY FAITH

BY LOOKING FOR SERMONS.

I FOUND ON YOUTUBE WAS PASTOR

DAVID IRELAND AND CHRISTCHURCH

,NEW JERSEY HERE AND HE WAS ON

YOUTUBE PREACHING ON THE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST FOOD

AND TITHING SOON BEGAN TO PUT

THIS INTO PRACTICE.

SHORTLY AFTER HE LANDED A

NEW JOB IN TIME TO GIVE HIS

INITIAL FIRST FRUITS OFFERING

FROM HIS FIRST PAYCHECK.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRACTICE

FRESH FRUIT RIGHT THERE.

THEN JUST A FEW A FEW MONTHS

LATER SAM RECEIVED AN INCREASE

IN PAY AND MULTIPLE NEW JOB

OFFERS ONE OF WHICH HE

ACCEPTED.

THE THOUGHT OF OF NOT GIVING

DURING THAT TIME DEFINITELY

WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHEN I WAS

COMING OUT OF SUCH FINANCIAL

CRISIS.

DURING MY TIME I ABOUT 20%

RAISE IN IN SALARY AND I PUT

OTHER PEOPLE TO THE TEST.

SAM GOT THAT AFTER INVITING NON

WHO WAS HIS WORK COLLEAGUE AT

THE TIME TO CHURCH.

I THOUGHT CHURCH WILL BE A

VERY SERIOUS PLACE AND NO LAUGH

OR JOY.

I WAS PRETTY MOVED THE FIRST

TIME AND I ACTUALLY CRIED.

NON BECAME A AFTER AND THEN

EIGHT MONTHS LATER THEY BEGAN

DATING DATING.

AT THAT TIME ALL NINE WAS

DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR A NEW

JOB.

SAM INTRODUCED HER TO THE

PRINCIPLE OF TITHING.

I MY FIRST TITHING CHECK.

I JUST REMEMBER THIS

UNBELIEVABLE BEYOND

UNDERSTANDING PIECE BUT I FELT

THAT I AM GOING TO FIND A JOB

AFTER PRAYING, FASTING AND

TITHING FAITHFULLY FOR SEVEN

DAYS NON WAS INTERVIEWED FOR

AND OFFERED THE JOB SHE SO

DESPERATELY NEEDED.

IT JUST HAPPENED SO QUICKLY.

IN TWO THOUSAND 21 SAM AND

NON-MARRIED REMAINED WITH THE

SAME FIRM FOR SEVERAL MORE

YEARS.

LIKEWISE NINE CONTINUED TO

PROGRESS AT HER JOB AS WELL AND

RECEIVED TO TO PROMOTIONS AND

TWO RAISES WITHIN A SINGLE

YEAR.

WHEN WE REALIZED THE POWER

OF TITHING I THINK IT'S WORTH

TODAY SAM AND NAN CONTINUE

THEIR LIFESTYLE

GIVING REGULARLY.

THEY LIVE FINANCIALLY SECURE

WITH THEIR NEWBORN SON EELAM

AND ZERO DEBT.

SAM AND NON BELIEVE THIS IS

DIRECTLY CORRELATED WITH THEIR

CHOICE TO TITHE FAITHFULLY.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A FLUKE

I BELIEVE IT'S A COMBINATION OF

YOU KNOW TITHING AND FIRST

FRUIT AND GIVEN AND TRUST IN

THE LORD BUT ALSO KNOW HARD

WORK AS WELL.

I LOOK BACK TO THAT AND

THANKFUL.

TEN TIMES AS I STANDING RIGHT

JUST LOOKING OVER NEW YORK CITY

I'M JUST LIKE LORD, THANK YOU

SO MUCH.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

DON'T YOU LOVE SEEING THAT

SEEING THAT GORGEOUS NEW YORK

SKYLINE.

HERE'S A GENTLEMAN WHO'S

EVICTED AND HIS CAR SEIZED ON

THIS SAME DAY SAYS HE COMES TO

A SEASON HE SAYS I WANT TO

BUILD MY FAITH AND PART OF OF

HIS FAITH BEING BUILT WAS

STEWARDSHIP WITH FINANCES FOR

THE AND THEN HE TELLS NON ABOUT

IT AND THEN SHE FINDS GREAT

FREEDOM IN SAYING TITHE FOR THE

FIRST TIME I FELT TREMENDOUS

PEACE THIS GREAT GREAT PEACE

THIS IS SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL

AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

WE READ ABOUT IT IN MALACHI

CHAPTER THREE BRING ALL THE

TIES INTO THE STOREHOUSE THAT

CHIANG CHING FELT SOMEONE WAS

HIS BODY WAS GETTING WEAKER

EVERY DAY AND HIS NEIGHBORS

WHEN HE NEEDED MONEY FOR

SURGERY.

BUT YOU DID.

CHANG ALWAYS ASKED HIS

FATHER IF HE COULD GO TO THE

MOUNTAINS AND HELP HIM WITH HIS

FARMING.

I FINALLY AGREED BENO

REGRETTED IT.

WE HAD ONLY CLIMBED THE SMALL

BIT BEFORE MY HANDS STARTED AND

I COULD BARELY BREATHE.

HIS FACE WAS WAS PALE AND HIS

LIPS WERE PURPLE.

I CARRIED HIM ON MY BACK AND

I COULD FEEL HIS HEART BEATING

REALLY FAST.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG

WITH HIM.

DOCTORS AT THE LOCAL CLINIC

SAID CHANG, JUST MALNOURISHED.

THE FAMILY IS POOR SO WENT TO

THE CITY TO WORK SO THE COUPLE

COULD GET BETTER FOOD.

YET HE ONLY GOT WORSE

AFRAID.

IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS

POUNDING ON MY HEART WITH A

LITTLE HAMMER.

SOMETIMES I'LL GET ALL

SWEATY.

SEVEN, SHENG HAD A ROUTINE

HEALTH EXAM AT SCHOOL WHERE

DOCTORS DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD

A HOLE IN HIS HEART AND IT HAD

BEEN GROWING SINCE HE WAS A

BABY.

A CLASSMATE ME THAT IF SOMEONE

HAS A HEART PROBLEM THEY COULD

DIE.

AFTER I WAS SCARED EVERY DAY

AND I WAS ANGRY THAT MY BODY

DIDN'T DIDN'T WORK RIGHT.

STILL IT DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM

TRYING TO ROLLER SKATE LIKE THE

OTHER KIDS.

YET WHEN HE TRIED COLLAPSED.

I WAS DIZZY AND AND NAUSEOUS.

MY SKIN TURNED COLD AND

PURPLE.

I WAS A VERY SICK BY MY BODY

WAS GETTING WEAKER EVERY DAY

AND I KNOW HOW LONG I WOULD

LIVE.

I WENT FROM HOUSE TO BORROW

MONEY FOR SURGERY BUT EVERYONE

TURNED ME ME DOWN.

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO

UNTIL ONE DAY A TEACHER SAID

THEY FOUND AN ORGANIZATION

CALLED OPERATION BLESSING WOULD

HELP.

IT WAS A MIRACLE.

SOON CHANG HEART SURGERY.

LIGHT OF HOPE.

WEEK ON THE 700 CLUB.

FOUR WORDS FROM MICHAEL

PHILLIPS FIRST GRADE TEACHER

DASHED HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A

LAWYER.

SHE SAID THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

.

THOSE WORDS SET MICHAEL ON A

PATH OF SELF-DESTRUCTION.

SO TODAY MICHAEL IS WORKING

HARD TO MAKE SURE WHAT HAPPENED

TO HIM NEVER HAPPENS TO ANOTHER

CHILD.

MICHAEL PHILLIPS IS ON A

MISSION TO TRANSFORM.

MY PERSONAL PASSION AND HEART

IS FOR HUMANITY AS A AS A

WHOLE.

MY CALL SHOWS INDIVIDUALS THAT

HUMAN LIVES ARE REDEEMABLE AND

HE BELIEVES THAT STARTS WITH

CHANGING THE EDUCATION SYSTEM

THE SAME ONE THAT ONCE CRUSHED

HIS OWN DREAMS WHEN I WAS SIX

YEARS OLD FOR CAREER DAY I

DECIDED FOR MY PROJECT EMULATE

THURGOOD MARSHALL.

MY TEACHER LEANED OVER TO ME

AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEVER

BE ABLE A LAWYER THAT THAT

WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

AT THAT TIME THE ONLY THING

I COULD FEEL WAS ANGER COMING

UP IN THE INNER CITY SCHOOLS OF

BALTIMORE.

MICHAEL WAS CONTINUALLY TOLD HE

HAD NO FUTURE DESPITE GETTING

GOOD GRADES AND BEING A

STANDOUT ATHLETE.

I WAS CONSTANTLY BEING TOLD

I WOULD END UP IN JAIL OR I

WOULD NOT AMOUNT TO ANYTHING

FOR A LONG TIME THOSE WORDS SAT

ON ME BECAUSE THEY BECAME

COMPOUNDED BY THE ADDITIONAL

THAT PEOPLE WOULD SPEAK OF MY

LIFE.

MICHAEL WOULD PROVE THEM AND

GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL WITH A

4.0 AND A FULL RIDE COLLEGE

BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP.

THEN THEN JUST BEFORE HIS

FRESHMAN SEMESTER A VIOLENT CAR

CRASH LEFT HIM SO HIM SO BADLY

INJURED IT COST HIM HIS

SCHOLARSHIP.

I LITERALLY THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS

DONE BECAUSE I HAD TO HIDE MY

FUTURE AND MY DESTINY TO MAKING

IT AS AN ATHLETE.

TRAUMA AND STRESS OF NOT BEING

BEING ABLE TO BE A BASKETBALL

PLAYER WAS EXTREMELY

OVERWHELMING TO ME.

ALTHOUGH HE STILL WENT TO

SCHOOL, THE DEPRESSION TOO

MUCH.

MICHAEL DROPPED OUT AND

RETURNED HOME TO WHERE HE

TURNED TO THE ONLY OPTION HE

THOUGHT HE HAD.

SELLING AS A LITTLE KID WHEN

YOU WANTED TO SEE A A

SUCCESSFUL PERSON THAT LOOKED

LIKE YOU YOU WOULD GO DOWN TO

THE CORNER TO THE GUYS WHO WERE

SELLING DRUGS BECAUSE THEY LOOK

SUCCESSFUL AND THEY LOOKED LIKE

THEY WERE HAVING FUN AND THEY

HAD THE CARS AND THEY HAD THE

CLOTHES.

AND SO THIS WAS MY ONLY SHOT

THEN TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY

OWN HANDS AND AND TRY TO MAKE

THE BEST OUT OF A BAD HAND THAT

I WAS DEALT.

YEAR LATER MICHAEL WAS ON

THE RUN FROM THE FBI.

HE TURNED HIMSELF IN THINKING

HE'D GET A LIGHT SENTENCE AS A

FIRST TIME OFFENDER.

INSTEAD HE WAS CHARGED WITH

THE RACKETEERING CRIME THAT

CARRIED A MINIMUM YEARS.

I THOUGHT I WOULD SPEND THE

REST LIFE IN JAIL.

I LITERALLY THOUGHT IT WAS

OVER.

THIS IS IT?

EVERY WORD THAT THEY SAY ABOUT

HAS COME TRUE AND ALL I COULD

FEEL FIRST NIGHT IN JAIL WAS A

BETRAYER.

I BETRAYED ALL OF THOSE

PEOPLE MY GRANDPARENTS,

PARENTS, YOU KNOW ALL OF THE

PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT ME TO HAVE A

LIFE.

I FELT THEM THEM.

THEN BEFORE HIS TRIAL

STARTED A SAID HE SAW POTENTIAL

IN MICHAEL DISMISS THE CHARGES

GAVE HIM A SECOND CHANCE AT

COLLEGE.

LATER THAT YEAR OF HIS DORM

ROOM AT ORAL ROBERTS

UNIVERSITY, MICHAEL'S SURRENDER

HIS LIFE TO GOD.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE A DEATH

AND A RESURRECTION AND MY LIFE

WAS CHANGED EVER SINCE

GRADUATED AND WENT ON TO BE A

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN.

.

THEN PASTOR IN BALTIMORE FOR 19

YEARS RECENTLY HE JOINED BISHOP

T.D. JAKES MINISTRY WORKING TO

REFORM THE PROCESS SO EVERY

CHILD'S POTENTIAL CAN BE

CULTIVATE IT.

I LIKE TO WORK AT THE

PREVENTION IN WHERE YOU'RE

DOING ALL THAT YOU CAN DO TO

PREVENT A CHILD FROM EVER

EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE THINGS

I EXPERIENCE RIGHT REGARDLESS

OF WHERE THEY THAT THAT

COMMUNITY THAT DISTRICT HAS A

HIGH QUALITY SCHOOL THAT IS

SUPPORTING THAT CHILD'S

POTENTIAL AND FUTURE.

MICHAEL IS ALSO WORKING TO TAKE

WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE TEXAS

OFFENDERS INITIATIVE

NATIONWIDE.

STARTED BY THE POTTER'S THE

POTTER'S HOUSE CHURCH IN

DALLAS.

ITS GOAL IS TO EMPOWER

EX-OFFENDERS TO MAXIMIZE THEIR

POTENTIAL AND INCREASE THEIR

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESSFUL

REINTEGRATION INTO SOCIETY.

IS DISPOSABLE OR IS IT

REDEEMABLE?

ARE ARE WE BUILDING A CULTURE

OF PUNISHMENT OR ARE WE

BUILDING A CULTURE OF

POSSIBILITY?

AND IF IT'S THE LATTER THEN,

THAT LIFE THAT MIGHT HAVE WENT

OFF TRACK THAT MIGHT HAVE FOUND

ITSELF WRONG WAY SHOULD NOT BE

DISPOSABLE, RIGHT?

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THAT

LIFE AROUND.

RESTORATIVE LEE MICHAEL

BELIEVES THAT EVERYONE CAN

EFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE BEING

EMPATHETIC TO PEOPLE AROUND

THEM.

PEOPLE

THE WAYS TO HEAL THAT HURT IS

TO HEAR IT FIRST.

FIND OUT WHERE DOES AND SEE

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP.

GOES A LONG WAY.

TO SAY TO SOMEBODY I'M PRAYING

FOR FOR YOU I REALLY AM PRAYING

FOR YOU OR TO STOP IN THAT

MOMENT AND ACTUALLY PRAY FOR

THEM IF YOU WERE IN THEIR

POSITION WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

THAT'S ALL FOR.

FOR US TO LOOK AT PEOPLE'S

LIVES AND NOT WHAT.

BUT WHY NOT SAY WHAT'S?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

BUT RATHER WHAT HAPPENED TO

YOU?

BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE THAT LEVEL

OF EMPATHY IT'S GOING TO MAKE

IT REALLY HARD FOR ALL OF US

FOR ALL OF US TO JUST BACK INTO

WHAT'S NORMAL TO FALL BACK

INTO.

QUO AND TO KEEP LOOKING AT

SOCIETY AS A IT IS IS WHAT IT

IS TYPE OF THING.

IT CAN'T GET BETTER.

THEY CERTAINLY CAN'T GET

BETTER.

ABSOLUTELY.

I LOVE WHAT MICHAEL HAS TO

SAY BECAUSE IT'S 828 ALL

WRAPPED UP IN A PRETTY PACKAGE

.

GOD TAKES WHAT THE ENEMY IS

MEANT FOR EVIL.

HE WORKS IT TO GOOD AND YOU

KNOW HOW WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT

HE USES AND THERE'S ANOTHER

THING HERE DON'T WHAT SOMEBODY

ELSE DEFINED YOU BY THEIR OWN

POOR OBSERVATION OR POOR

UNDERSTANDING OF HOPE AND

BELIEF AND CHANGE AND YOU KNOW

A GREAT TAKE AWAY IS IF WE

REMEMBER NOTHING ELSE NOT JUST

WHAT THE WHY OUT ABOUT

DOT COM CALL NOW OR TEXT TO

SEVEN ONE SEVEN SEVEN.

AGO AMERICA LOST A WAR HERO

BUT CHRIS KYLE WAS MUCH MORE

THAN A DECORATED NAVY SEAL.

HE WAS ALSO A HUSBAND TO TAYA

AND FATHER TO THEIR TWO

CHILDREN TAYA IS A NEW YORK

TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR AND

THE WIDOW OF AMERICAN CHRIS

KYLE WHO SERVED FOUR TOURS OF

DUTY AS A NAVY.

ULTIMATELY, CHRIS LOST HIS LIFE

AT A SHOOTING RANGE A MAN HE

WAS TRYING TO HELP.

SINCE HIS DEATH, TAYA TAYA HAS

WORKED HARD TO HONOR HER LATE

HUSBAND BY PROVIDING HELP AND

HOPE TO THOSE ENDURING PAIN AND

LOSS.

SHE DOES SO THROUGH ENGAGEMENTS

,WRITING AND CREATING HER

FOUNDATION TAYA AND CHRIS KYLE

FAMILY SERVICE MARRIED STRONG

IN HER FIRST EVER CHILDREN'S

BOOK PRAYERS FOR BEARS TAYA

KYLE TEACHES KIDS THE

IMPORTANCE OF GRATITUDE AND

EVERY SEASON OF LIFE WILL WELL

KYLE IS HERE WITH US NOW.

WE WELCOME YOU BACK TO THE

PROGRAM IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE

WE'VE SEEN YOU.

YES.

THANK YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.

YOUR LATEST PRAYERS FOR BEARS

WRITTEN BY YOU.

IT'S A GREAT BOOK IT'S A

CHILDREN'S BOOK OBVIOUSLY.

BUT THE WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO

THIS PLACE OF WRITING A

CHILDREN'S BOOK?

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SO AT MY

KIDS THEY'RE SO RESILIENT AND

STRONG AND I'VE SEEN HOW GOD

HAS WORKED THROUGH THEIR LIVES.

CHRIS IS MURDER THEN EVERYTHING

AFTER THAT THERE WERE SO MANY

THINGS THAT HIT US AND THINGS

AFTER HE WAS FIRST KILLED WAS A

FRIEND TELLING ME YOU'LL ALWAYS

HAVE A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND

FOOD TO EAT.

AND I THOUGHT WELL I DON'T KNOW

IF WE CAN OUR HOUSE I MEAN I

DON'T I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT

THIS POINT AND SHE SAID NO TO

NO TO THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO

LOVE YOU YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE A

ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND FOOD TO

EAT TO EAT SO EVEN WHEN THINGS

WERE GOING TO RIGHT OUR PRAYERS

HAVE INCLUDED THAT I MEAN THERE

ARE THINGS WE HAVE THAT OTHER

PEOPLE DON'T THAT WE COULD

EASILY FOR GRANTED.

WELL, AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT

THE BOOK IS ABOUT.

IT'S A STORY A GRATEFUL HEART.

AND SO YOU THESE WORDS THAT A

FRIEND SHARED WITH YOU BUT NOW

YOU'RE LEFT AS A MOM WITH TWO

CHILDREN AND HOW DO YOU UNDER

SUCH ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES

CREATE THAT HEART OF GRATITUDE

AND THEN HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

YOU KNOW, I MEAN DEFINITELY

CREDIT TO GOD AND I THINK HE

SHOWED EVERY TIME THAT THINGS

WOULD GO HORRIBLY WRONG THESE

INCREDIBLE BLESSINGS TOO.

AND THEN HE WOULD DO SOMETHING

BEAUTIFUL WITH THE PAIN WHICH

IF YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU

EXPERIENCE IT YOU THINK IN

THEORY HE WILL BUT WHEN YOU

EXPERIENCE IT YOU KNOW IT.

AND SO THE THING I REALLY HAD

TO LEARN THAT I WANT TO

ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE I USED

TO SAY WELL THIS IS BAD BUT AND

THERAPIST WHO TOLD ME NO, NO,

NO TAYA THIS IS BAD AND THIS IS

GOOD BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU

START TO NEGATE YOUR PAIN AND

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE STORY

ABOUT BAYLEE BEAR THINGS ARE

THE TRUTH.

THEY ARE NOT GOING WELL.

YES.

AND THERE ARE THINGS TO BE

GRATEFUL FOR AND WE KNOW

SCIENCE BACKS IT UP.

GOD TELLS US IN THE BIBLE TO BE

GRATEFUL.

JOY IS A A WONDERFUL TOOL

AGAINST THE ENEMY SO FEEL YOUR

PAIN.

I REALIZE THAT'S IMPORTANT.

I USED TO TRY TO OUTRUN IT BUT

WE HAVE TO FEEL IT AND YOU SEE

WHAT YOU LOOK FOR.

LOOK FOR THE GRATITUDE EVEN YOU

HAVE PAIN SO YOU USE THIS TERM

YOU PRAY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE

ANYTHING TO SAY THAT A GOOD

QUESTION.

I HAVE LITERALLY SOME OF THE

MOST LIFE LIFE CHANGING PRAYERS

FOR ME.

THERE WAS ONE TIME I REMEMBER

SITTING IN A CHAIR AND FEELING

SO EXHAUSTED AND NOT KNOWING

EVEN WHAT TO PRAY FOR AND I PUT

MY HANDS OUT LIKE THIS AND I

LEANED MY HEAD BACK AND I SAID

GOD, I DON'T KNOW DON'T KNOW,

JUST CHANGE ME JUST WHATEVER IT

IS I NEED TO PRAY FOR JUST DO

THE WORK.

AND HE LITERALLY WITHIN THE

WEEK SOMETHING THAT I KNEW WAS

KIND OF AN ISSUE FOR ME SHIFTED

I WOULDN'T HAVE IT BECAUSE IT

WASN'T THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE AND

SO THOSE TIMES WHERE I'VE JUST

BEEN COMPLETELY SUBMISSIVE

YOURS JUST DO YOUR WORK IN ME

AND THE SAME WITH WITH LIFE YOU

KNOW WE GET SO BUSY AND YOU'RE

AMBITIOUS AND SUCCESSFUL.

OH YEAH.

AND WHEN I HIT MY HEAD AGAINST

THE WALL ON SOMETHING OVER AND

OVER AND OVER I LEARNED TO JUST

GO THEN IT'S NOT NOW.

IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NEVER.

IT MEANS IT'S NOT NOW.

RIGHT?

AND WOULD DO THE WORK AND OPEN

THE DOOR LATER AND IF I WASN'T

SO SO OVERWHELMED I THINK I

WOULD HAVE KEPT TRYING AND

HITTING MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL

BUT I WAS TOO TOO OVERWHELMED

TO DO THAT AND IT'S SO

WONDERFUL BECAUSE IN HINDSIGHT

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK YOU CAN SEE

THAT YOU WEREN'T READY FOR IT

TO CHANGE BEFORE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT HIS TIMING IS ALWAYS

PERFECT.

I CAN TELL YOUR FAITH HAS JUST

BEEN SO ANCHORED HAS GROWN

THROUGH ALL OF THIS TALK ABOUT

THAT THAT YOU KNOW, I SOMETIMES

THINK BACK TO WHO I WAS WAS

BEFORE THE CORE OF ME.

MY SENSE OF HUMOR IN MY HEART

ARE THE SAME MY FAITH HAS

CHANGED ME.

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WHO KNEW

ME AS A TEENAGER RECOGNIZE OR

BELIEVE MAYBE EVEN YOU KNOW, MY

FAITH TODAY AND I DO SEE THAT

AS GOD WORKING THROUGH THE PAIN

AND BRINGING SOMETHING

BEAUTIFUL.

AND AGAIN I WOULD HAVE KNOWN

THAT IN THEORY BUT SUCH A

TRANSFORMATION INSIDE OF ME

WHERE I DON'T FEAR ANYMORE AND

IT'S LIKE IT'S A HUGE THING IN

LIFE IS HUGE BECAUSE WHAT ARE

YOU YOU KNOW WE CAN'T BEAR ALL

THE THINGS THAT BE AFRAID OF

ESPECIALLY SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALL

OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'LL THAT

THEY'LL TELL US NOW COULD HURT

US AND HARM US AND THEY

PROBABLY COULD BUT THEY'RE NOT

NOT I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

THAT BECAUSE NOW I JUST GO I

REALLY BELIEVE AND KNOW FROM

EXPERIENCE THAT GOD WILL POINT

ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TAKE

CARE OF ME FOR MY NEEDS JUST AS

HE WILL SOMEONE ELSE'S AND WE

HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS YOU KNOW

ONE OF THE DIRECTIONS GOD'S

POINTING YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN

IN IS COMING ALONGSIDE OF

MILITARY FAMILIES AND

ENCOURAGING THEM AND THEM AND

IT WAS A SHOCKING START THAT OF

THE NAVY SEALS 97% OF THEIR

MARRIAGES FAIL.

YEAH.

HOW DO WE CHANGE THAT, TAYA

GOOD GRIEF.

THAT'S ALARMING STATISTICS.

IT IS AND IT'S I DON'T THINK

IT'S QUITE AS BAD NOW BUT WHEN

WE WERE IN THAT WAS THE

STATISTIC IN ENLISTED GUYS AND

SO WHAT I REALIZED LIVING IT IS

WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE TOOLS

WE WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING BUT

MARRIAGES ARE DIFFERENT.

CIVILIAN COUNSELORS CAN'T HELP

WITH THE WORLD AS WELL AS THEY

WANT TO AND WE HAVE SOMETHING

WE'RE WORKING ON WITH WITH THAT

TO TEACH THEM TO.

BUT BUT THE TRUTH IS THEY NEED

THE RIGHT TOOLS SO IF WE DO TWO

YEARS OF PROGRAMING PROGRAMS

AND WE WORK FROM STRENGTH,

YOU'VE GOT WARRIORS YOU NEED TO

TALK TALK TO THEM ABOUT USING

THEIR STRENGTHS IN THEIR

MARRIAGE AND DO IT IN WAYS THAT

ARE REALISTIC.

6:00 DINNER EVERY NIGHT.

YEAH.

SO HOW DO YOU GET THOSE TIMES

QUICKLY FROM A PLACE OF

STRENGTH AND BAYLOR?

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY STUDIES ARE

99.16% SUCCESS RATE OVER THE

LAST FEW YEARS.

YES.

OF COUPLES WHO COME OUT

DRAMATICALLY BETTER AND THEN I

WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS THE

ARMY DID A STUDY 80% OF SERVICE

SUICIDES ARE RELATIONSHIP

RELATED NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING

THE TWO PEOPLE IN THE

RELATIONSHIP ARE DOING IT'S

BECAUSE THE SERVICE MEMBER

DOESN'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO SAVE

THE ONE LAST THING THAT THEY

REALLY WANT AS THEIR THEIR

SAFETY NET AND IF THEY DON'T

HAVE THE TOOLS WHILE THEY'RE

SUFFERING WHILE THEY'RE GOING

THROUGH AND THEIR WIFE WOULDN'T

HAVE THEM OR THEY DON'T KNOW

HOW TO TELL THEY NEED YOU KNOW

ASSUMING IT'S THE MAN I KNOW

SOMETIMES IT'S THE WOMAN WE'RE

JUST GIVING THEM THE TOOLS.

THAT IS AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE

ACTUALLY FOR A SPECIAL EVENT.

I WANT TO MENTION IT AS OUR

TIME IS YOU CAN GET INFORMATION

ON WHAT IS CALLED THE

RESILIENCE IN TODAY'S

CONFERENCE.
