GET THINGS DONE CARE THE BIG

CONCERN WITH MILTON RIGHT NOW

IS STORM SURGE.

THIS PURPLE AREA BASICALLY

FROM PINELLAS COUNTY,

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, SARASOTA,

MANATEE COUNTY.

SOMEWHERE IN THIS REGION IS

GOING TO EXPERIENCE 10 TO 15

FEET OF INUNDATION ABOVE LEVEL.

THIS IS DESTRUCTIVE LIFE

THREATENING STORM SURGE NOT A

SAFE TO STAY IN.

AS THE STORM NEARS TAMPA,

RESIDENTS LIKE KATRINA ARE NOT

TAKING ANY CHANCES AFTER RECENT

WE HAD ABOUT SIX FEET OF

WATER OUR HOME AND THEY'RE

PREDICTING THE SURGE TO BE

ABOUT 10 TO 15 FEET WHICH IS

TWICE AS MUCH AS HALLOWEEN.

HELP.

READY TO WEATHER THE STORM

TOGETHER.

JUST OVERWHELMED BY THE HOLY

LET'S TAKE IT ALL THE WAY DOWN

TO TROPICAL.

WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE IF IT WAS

JUST A GENTLE.

BUT A 15 FOOT STORM SURGE?

A LITTLE GIRL MICHELE THAT

CLEARED IN IRAN THEY WILL

REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE THAT

THEY HAVE LOST THE MOST

VALUABLE ASSET THERE IS

TUESDAY PRIME MINISTER

JIHADISTS.

WE TOOK OUT THOUSANDS OF

TERRORISTS INCLUDING NASRALLAH

NETANYAHU RECENTLY MADE A

SIMILAR TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE

IMAGINING A DAY SOON ISRAEL AND

IRAN WOULD BE AT PEACE.

THAT COULD MEAN A WHOLE EAST

WITH ISRAEL FORMING ALLIANCES

WITH PEACEFUL ARAB ARAB NATIONS

TO LIVE AND PROSPER IN THE

AFTER SUFFERING SO MANY LOSSES

IN LEADERSHIP AND MUNITIONS,

HEZBOLLAH IS NOW CALLING FOR A

JULIE STAHL NEWS, JERUSALEM.

AND GORDON, TO YOU.

LET'S CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR

ISRAEL AND THEIR HOUR OF NEED.

THEY'RE COMING IN TO YOM KIPPUR

.

THAT'S ON FRIDAY.

THESE ARE THE HIGH HOLY DAYS.

THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS

HORRIBLE WAR.

IT WAS ALL ALL STARTED BY HAMAS

AND IT'S INCREDIBLE THE WORLD

THE ENTIRE WORLD SEEMS TO BE

TURNED AGAINST THEM.

AS CHRISTIANS WE STAND WITH

THEM.

WE STAND WITH WITH OUR BROTHERS

AND WE STAND AGAINST THIS

HORRIBLE HATE THIS HATE THAT

WANTS TO WIPE THEM OFF THE MAP

.

WHEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY FROM

THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE

WILL BE FREE, PLEASE STAND

AGAINST THAT AND SAY NO YOU

DON'T GET TO CALL FOR A

GENOCIDE OF.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

THEY HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT

RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION, A

STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

WELL RECENT STATISTICS

INDICATE MANY PLAN TO STAY HOME

ON ELECTION DAY.

FORMER ARKANSAS MIKE

HUCKABEE BELIEVES THAT'S A BIG

MISTAKE.

HIS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A

DIFFERENCE YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP

UP AT THE BALLOT BOX.

WENDY GRIFFITHS RECENTLY CAUGHT

UP HIM ON THE SET OF HIS

POPULAR TALK SHOW IN NASHVILLE

AND NOW HERE.

MIKE HUCKABEE.

MIKE HUCKABEE ABOUT MANY THINGS

PLAYING HIS BASE WITH A HOUSE.

ON HIS WEEKLY SHOW HUCKABEE

INTERVIEWING NEWSMAKERS AND

ENTERTAINERS AND OF COURSE

TALKING POLITICS.

IT IS THE KICKOFF FOR THE

ELECTION SEASON.

ONE PART OF THAT SUBJECT

REALLY BOTHERS HIM.

THE THE FACT THAT SO MANY

CHRISTIANS DON'T VOTE WHEN HE

IS.

HE IS SHOCKING WHEN YOU THINK

ABOUT IT 40 MILLION CHRISTIANS

SITTING AT HOME ON A ELECTION

MEANS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE

COMPLETELY CHANGED THE OUTCOME

NOT JUST OF THAT ELECTION BUT

OF EVERY ELECTION IN AMERICA IF

THEY REGISTERED AND THEN WENT

TO VOTE AND A LOT OF THEM DON'T

WANT TO VOTE BECAUSE THEY SAY

OH, POLITICS IS SO.

AND MY RESPONSE TO THAT IS

WELL, HOW DO YOU THINK IT'S

GOING TO GET CLEANER IF ALL THE

CHRISTIANS STAY OUT OF IT?

HE SAYS BELIEVERS SHOULD

FOLLOW BIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO

VOTING.

AND FOR THE GOVERNOR, THE

ISSUES ARE ABORTION AND ISRAEL

LIFE AND ISRAEL.

WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE AND

THOSE ISSUES THEY'RE NOT

POLITICAL ISSUES.

SO IT'S EASY TO SEPARATE.

NOW PEOPLE ARGUE ABOUT THE

MARGINAL TAX RATE THAT'S FINE.

I CAN'T HONESTLY SAY THAT THE

BIBLE HAS A POSITION ON WHAT

THE PROPER PERCENTAGE SHOULD BE

OR WHAT THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX

SHOULD BE.

I KNOW WHAT I THINK IT SHOULD

BE ECONOMICALLY BUT I CAN'T

ARGUE BIBLICALLY.

BUT I CAN DEFINITELY SAY THAT

WHEN IT COMES TO THE PROTECTION

LIFE THAT'S A BIBLICAL ISSUE

BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURE SPEAKS

BEING MADE IN THE AND KNITTED

BY GOD AND AND THAT'S PRETTY

CLEAR.

AND IN GENESIS 12 IT SAYS IF

YOU BLESS ISRAEL YOU'LL BE

BLESSED.

CURSE YOU'LL BE CURSED.

THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR.

YEAH.

AND SO DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU GOT

TO TELL CHRISTIANS HOW TO VOTE

BUT ASK THEM TO VOT

HUCKABEE, A FORMER BAPTIST

PREACHER TURNED POLITICIAN,

MADE HIS OWN RUN FOR THE WHITE

HOUSE THOUSAND AND EIGHT AND

2016.

GOVERNOR, ONLY 69.

YOU'RE YOUNG.

YOU'RE YOUNG.

.

ANY THOUGHTS ON GETTING BACK IN

THE GAME AS FAR AS RUNNING FOR

PRESIDENT?

NO.

I THINK YOU KNOW, YOU DO THAT

TWICE AND AS I TELL PEOPLE YOU

CAN ONLY MORTGAGE YOUR HOME SO

MANY TIMES TO GO OUT AND RUN

FOR OFFICE AND THEN HAVE TO

START REALIZING MAYBE THIS IS

NOT GOING TO BE MY CAREER

CAREER PATH.

AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I GAVE IT MY BEST SHOT TWICE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.

NOT ONLY WAS SHE WHITE HOUSE

PRESS SECRETARY BUT SHE'S NOW

IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS AS THE FEMALE

GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS.

HOW PROUD ARE YOU?

I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF HER.

SHE HAS WORKED REALLY HARD IN

THEIR LIFE MAY SAY YEAH, WELL

SHE WAS THE GOVERNOR'S

DAUGHTER.

SHE HAD A CLEAR PATH.

THERE'S NO CLEAR PATH IN

POLITICS SOMETIMES THAT CAN

WORK AGAINST YOU.

BUT I'VE SEEN HER DO BOLD AND

ADVENTUROUS THINGS AS GOVERNOR

IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

WHAT'S IT LIKE HAVING YOUR

OWN SHOW?

IT'S REALLY.

WE'VE DONE THIS.

WE'RE ALMOST FINISHED WITH

SEASON SEVEN WHICH IS HARD FOR

BEEN DOING IT SEVEN YEARS AND

NO END IN SIGHT.

BUT WE DESIGNED IT TO BE A

VARIETY SHOW SORT OF A

THROWBACK TO THE OLD DAYS WHEN

PEOPLE COULD SIT DOWN WATCH A

TELEVISION SHOW THAT WAS

WHOLESOME, THAT WAS INFORMATIVE

IT WAS ENTERTAINING AS WELL.

BUT IT'S KIND OF FOR ME FULL

CIRCLE.

I STARTED IN BROADCASTING AT

AGE 14 WHEN I WENT TO WORK AT A

RADIO STATION.

THAT'S HOW I PAID MY WAY

THROUGH JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL,

COLLEGE AND GRAD SCHOOL.

MY WAS NOT THE PASTORATE.

IT WAS COMMUNICATIONS.

I RAN RAN AN AD AGENCY AND I

WORKED IN RADIO AND TELEVISION.

YOU'RE A MUSICIAN, A

POLITICIAN.

YOU'RE YOU HAVE A TV SHOW AND

NOW YOU'RE ACTING.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN GOD'S

NOT DEAD NUMBER FIVE.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ROLE.

YEAH, I THINK THIS IS AN OSCAR

PERFORMANCE, WENDY.

I'M I'M REALLY WORKING ON MY

ACCEPTANCE PITCH AND I PLAY A

SMALL ROLE BUT IT'S FUN AND

IT'S IT'S A FUNNY LITTLE FILM.

IT'S SET IN WASHINGTON IN THE

LIFE OF A PASTOR WHO DECIDES TO

RUN FOR CONGRESS IN A SPECIAL

ELECTION FINDS OUT WHAT A

COMPLETELY CORRUPT ENVIRO OF

POLITICS CAN BE.

YOU BACK THE CURTAIN AND LET

US SEE HOW THE GAME IS REALLY

PLAYED.

SO THERE'S A VALUE TO THAT

BUT THERE'S A POWERFUL MESSAGE

FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN BELIEVER

AND AND IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.

HUCKABEE SAYS HIS FAITH

CONTINUES TO GUIDE HIM IN

EVERYTHING HE DOES.

I'VE HAD PEOPLE WENDY WOULD

SAY I GUESS IT'S REALLY HARD TO

BE A CHRISTIAN IN POLITICS AND

I SAY ACTUALLY IT'S MUCH EASIER

AND HERE'S WHY I DON'T HAVE TO

WAKE UP EVERY AND FIGURE OUT

WHAT I NEED TO BELIEVE IN

BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT.

AND IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR.

.

IT MAY NOT WIN ME FRIENDS.

IT MAY EVEN CREATE SOME

ENEMIES.

BUT I KNOW WHERE I STAND AND

THE REASON I DO I STAND ON THE

WORD OF GOD AND I STAND ON THE

PRINCIPLES GOD IS REAL AND THAT

HIS WORD WORD HIS DIRECTION IS

MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING

ELSE IN MY LIFE.

AND FOR THOSE WORRIED ABOUT

THE UPCOMING ELECTION, HUCKABEE

SAYS I'LL SAY DON'T WORRY.

PHILIPPIANS SAYS DON'T WORRY

ABOUT BUT PRAY ABOUT

EVERYTHING.

SO PRAY ABOUT IT RATHER THAN

WORRY WORRY ABOUT IT.

BUT THEN PUT THAT PRAYER TO

ACTION.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE REGISTERED

ABOUT GO VOTE AND DON'T GO

ALONE.

TAKE EVERY FRIEND RELATIVE

PERSON YOU WORK WITH, EVERY

NEIGHBOR THAT YOU KNOW WHO HAS

VALUES AND GET THEM TO THE

POLLS.

EXPLAIN TO THEM WHY IT'S

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT DON'T BE OR

ALLOW PEOPLE AROUND YOU TO BE

PART OF THAT 40 MILLION OF

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS COUNTRY

WHO DON'T EVEN VOTE.

WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS,

NASHVILLE PLEASE.

THIS ELECTION CYCLE AND

EVERY ELECTION CYCLE YOUR VOICE

HEARD IT'S ONE OF THE GREAT

PRIVILEGES WE AS CITIZENS OF

THIS GREAT REPUBLICAN REPUBLIC

TO BE ABLE TO VOTE WHETHER

YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT, A

REPUBLICAN, YOUR FAITH BELONGS

IN THAT VOTING BOOTH BELONGS IN

THE PUBLIC SQUARE.

LET YOUR YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

AND MAKE SURE YOU PARTICIPATE

IN OUR GRAND ELECTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE TO BE HOLDING YOUR

NOSE WHEN YOU VOTE BUT THAT'S

OKAY.

THAT'S 8517 17.

CALL NOW THE CHRISTIAN

THINKER DALLAS WILLARD WAS ONCE

ASKED TO DESCRIBE IN ONE WORD

AND HE GAVE A SURPRISING

ANSWER.

HE SAID RELAXED.

FOR AUTHOR MEGHAN FAINT

MARSHMAN IT'S THE PERFECT

ANSWER AS WELL AND IT'S

ONE SHE'S TAKEN TO HEART THE

SUDDEN DEATH OF HER HUSBAND.

AUTHOR MEGAN FATE MARSHMAN

KNOWS FIRSTHAND THAT LIFE IS

FULL OF CHALLENGES.

IN 21 HER HUSBAND DIED

UNEXPECTEDLY OF A HEART ATTACK

THE AGE OF 36.

SUDDENLY SHE BECAME A A

YOUNG WIDOW WITH TWO SMALL

CHILDREN.

INSTEAD OF RELYING ON HER OWN

STRENGTH, MEGAN CHOSE TO GOD.

IN HER BOOK RELAXED MEGAN HOW

YOU CAN CONFIDENTLY ALLOW JESUS

TO LEAD YOU THROUGH TRIALS SO

YOU CAN FIND PEACE IN YOUR

EVERYDAY CIRCUMSTANCES.

WELL, MEGHAN IS NOW.

MEGHAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING ON THE SHOW TODAY.

SUCH A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU.

OH.

YEAH.

I'M EXCITED TO GET INTO YOUR

STORY.

ASK YOU DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE

THAT RELAXED IS THE PERFECT

WORD TO DESCRIBE JESUS.

WHAT A GREAT QUESTION.

YES, I THINK THERE'S MANY

WORDS WORDS THAT COULD DESCRIBE

HIM AND YET HE'S SO BIG AND SO

POWERFUL AND SO BEAUTIFUL THAT

NO WORDS COULD ENCAPSULATE WHO

WHO HE IS BUT RELAXED AND BUT

HERE'S WHAT I'VE COME TO

REALIZE.

RELAXED IS THE BY PRODUCT NOT

THE GOAL?

OF US WANT TO BECOME LIKE JESUS

AND SO WE HEAR AN IDEA LIKE

THIS AND GO OH JUST NEED TO BE

MORE RELAXED.

BUT THE TRUTH IS I WOULD

DESCRIBE AS RELAXED BUT THE

SURPRISE IS THE WAY BY WHICH

WHICH HE GOT THERE.

I JUST WHEN I HEAR RELAX TO

DESCRIBE I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK

OF HOW HE WAS IN THE BOAT IN

THE.

HOW ARE WE ABLE AS BELIEVERS

IN JESUS TO RELAX IN CHAOS.

YEAH I WISH I COULD JUST SPEAK

ABOUT THIS OUTSIDE OF PERSONAL

EXPERIENCE JUST GAVE ALL THE

RIGHT ANSWERS BUT I LEARNED

THIS ONE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF

MY OWN STORM.

SO AS YOU GUYS ALREADY HAVE

SHARED YEAH, IT'S I CAN'T JUST

GET USED TO SHARING THAT.

MY HUSBAND WENT WENT TO

HEAVEN THREE YEARS AGO AND AND

THAT THE WORDS THAT WOULD

DESCRIBE LIFE WOULD BE ANYTHING

BUT RELAXED AND TO BE HONEST

WITH YOU STILL TO THIS DAY AND

SO MY ALWAYS LOVE THAT WHAT THE

JOURNEY THAT THE LORD'S THE

LORD'S TAKING ME ON WHICH

REALLY IS THIS BOOK IS A

JOURNEY TO WHICH I'VE COME TO

REALIZE THE SUPERPOWER OF

GRIEF.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF LIFE

CHAOTIC AND THE STORM THAT

JESUS WAS A PART OF THAT THAT

THAT WAS OVERWHELMING TO

EVERYONE ELSE ON THE BOAT RIGHT

IN GRIEF AS AND I'VE COME TO

REALIZE ONE OF THE GREATEST

SUPER POWERS IS THAT YOU BEGIN

TO CARE A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THE

THINGS THAT MATTER AND YOU STOP

CARING ABOUT THE THINGS THAT

DON'T AND JESUS HIS HEART

ATTACHED TO THE FATHER'S HEART

THAT HE CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THE

THINGS THE THINGS THAT MATTERED

BUT HE WAS RELAXED ABOUT

KNOWING THAT GOD HAS THE PLAN.

GOD KNOWS HOW HE'S PLANNING TO

TAKE US ON THE JOURNEY US

TOWARD.

WE CAN RELAX AND SETTLE IN AND

THEN ALSO BE PASSIONATE.

TO BE RELAXED DOESN'T MEAN THAT

YOU'RE NOT ANGRY OR EVEN

WORRIED.

NOT PASSIONATE ENOUGH TO BE

RELAXED IS TO TRUST GOD'S WAY

ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN BE ALL

THOSE THINGS OF WHAT IT MEANS

TO BE HUMAN JUST LIKE JESUS.

I MEAN HE LITERALLY CARRIED THE

WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON HIS

SHOULDERS YET DID IT YET DID IT

IN SUCH A WAY WHERE HE TRUSTED

HIS FATHER'S WAY.

AND I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR

ALL OF US AND I'M NOT JUST

SOMEONE TELLING ANYONE I'M

LOOKING AT YOU AND SAYING OH

IT'S TOTALLY POSSIBLE FOR YOU

TO DO IT.

IT'S A HARD TRUTH THAT LIVED

MYSELF.

YEAH, WELL AS WE'VE TALKED

ABOUT I MEAN 2021 IS WHEN YOUR

HUSBAND WENT TO BE WITH THE

LORD

HARD TO BELIEVE AND YOU TALK IN

THE BOOK THAT YOU KNOW A LOT OF

CHRISTIANS AND YOU EXPERIENCED

THIS YOURSELF LIKE WE TAKE

PRIDE IN BEING INDEPENDENT AND

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU HAD

TO LEARN AFTER YOUR WENT TO BE

WITH THE LORD NOT TO TAKE PRIDE

IN INDEPENDENCE.

OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP.

CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT THAT

LIKE BECAUSE WE NEED TO HEAR

THAT YEAH BECAUSE INDEPENDENCE

IS A VIRTUE YET OFTENTIMES IT'S

A HINDRANCE IN THE FAITH AND

HEAR ALL THE TIME THAT WE'RE

NOT AS WE SHOULD BE AND THERE'S

YOU KNOW THEOLOGIANS REFER TO

THIS AS THIS SANCTIFICATION

GAP.

THIS GAP BETWEEN WHERE I'M AT

AND WHERE I WANT TO BE THE

SURPRISE THAT I LEARNED MAN AND

ESPECIALLY IN BEING A A WIDOW

BUT THEN I REALIZE IT'S TRUE

FOR ALL OF US IS THAT WHEN WE

REALIZE WE LACK IN ANY WAY A

LOT OF US JUST LIKE ADAM AND

EVE WANT TO HIDE AND COVER IT

OR WANT TO GET BETTER AT IT

AUTONOMOUSLY RIGHT?

THIS IS THE GREAT THAT WE

DON'T EVEN REALIZE AND IT'S

SNEAKY BECAUSE IT SOUNDS GREAT

SO CHURCH AND I HEAR A GREAT

WORD ON PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

AND I THINK THAT'S TO DO SO

THIS IS THE GO PRAY WITHOUT

CEASING AND THEN THERE'S THE

REALITY OF WHERE I'M AT WHAT DO

I DO ABOUT THE GAP?

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE GAP?

AND SAY THERE'S THREE GREAT

TEMPTATIONS.

I LEARNED THIS FROM ONE MY

THEOLOGY PROFESSORS.

THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE TO JUST

KIND OF DESPAIR AND GIVE UP AND

I UP AND I THINK A LOT OF

PEOPLE DESPAIR LOOKS LIKE A LOT

OF THINGS BUT WITHIN THE CHURCH

DESPAIR CAN LOOK LIKE I'M JUST

GOING TO SETTLE FOR THIS VALLEY

OF DRY BONES, TRY HARD, FEEL

INSPIRED ON SUNDAY MORNINGS AND

AND KEEP TRYING AND JUST KIND

OF SETTLE AND MAYBE THE INSPIRE

ME TO KEEP ON GOING.

THE SECOND TEMPTATION WOULD BE

TO GO WAIT CHURCH YOU'RE GONNA

TELL ME THAT I'M NOT AS I

SHOULD BE.

I'M GOING TO GO GO FIND A

DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SUCCESS SOME

SORT OF LADDER THAT I THINK I

CAN CLIMB BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW

HOW I'M EVER GOING TO GET TO A

PLACE OF PERFECTION.

SO THE SECOND TEMPTATION IS

JUST TO JUMP OUT OF THE FAITH

ALTOGETHER.

ONE AND THIS WAS THE MOST

SURPRISING TO ME WHEN WE

REALIZE WE'RE NOT AS WE SHOULD

BE IS TO JUST TRY TO SHRINK

THAT GAP HERE IT IS BY

OURSELVES AUTONOMOUSLY YOU SIT

THERE IN CHURCH AND GO I'M

BETTER AT THAT.

IT SOUNDS WELL AND GOOD AND

THEN WE TRY RIGHT RIGHT?

AND HERE'S THE BEAUTY OF THE

GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS THAT

IN THE FACT THAT WE AREN'T AS

WE SHOULD BE.

THE BEST RESPONSE TO THE FACT

THAT WE ARE NOT AS WE SHOULD BE

IS NOT OUR RESPONSE.

IT'S A GOD WHO COMES TO US TO

MEET US PRECISELY WE'RE AT AND

THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE

WATCHING BECAUSE NOT GOING TO

MEET YOU WHERE YOU'RE NOT SO

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE

ANYWHERE OTHER OTHER THAN WHERE

YOU'RE AT IF YOU'RE MAD, IF

YOU'RE SAD, IF YOU'RE GRIEVING,

IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE WORRIED

WHEREVER YOU'RE AT THAT'S WHERE

GOD WANTS TO MEET YOU AND THIS

BOOK IS ABOUT TO TRUST IN THE

LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND

THAT MEANS IT STARTS WITH BEING

HONEST WITH PRECISELY WHERE

YOU'RE AT.

HE'S NOT WAITING FOR YOU TO GET

IT ALL TOGETHER.

HE'S NOT WAITING YOU FOR TO

JUMP TO A BETTER VERSION OF

YOURSELF FRIENDS.

HE WANTS TO MEET YOU RIGHT

THERE.

YEAH.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE ONE OF

THE MOST IMPORTANT THROUGHOUT

OUR ENTIRE FAITH JOURNEY NO

MATTER WHERE WE'RE AT IN LIFE,

NO, WE'RE AT IN THAT JOURNEY IS

TO GO TO GOD, GO FIRST AND BE

HONEST WITH HIM WITH WHERE

YOU'RE AT.

YES.

WHOLE BOOK REALLY FOLLOWS ALONG

THE PROVERBS THREE, POPULAR

PASSAGE TRUST IN THE LORD WITH

ALL YOUR HEART RIGHT.

GO GO TO GOD, TRUST IN THE LORD

AND WE ALL KNOW THIS VERSE BUT

I WONDER I WONDER IF WE FORGET

THAT WE NEED TO ACTUALLY KNOW

WHAT'S IN OUR HEART.

I MEAN PROVERBS FOUR TELLS US

THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IS FROM

OUR HEART SO IF YOU'RE

WONDERING WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU

DO OR WHY YOU DON'T DO WHAT YOU

WANT TO DO, IT ALL COMES FROM

THE HEART AND SO THE PLACE THAT

THAT THE PROVERBS, THE WISDOM

LITERATURE GIVES US IS IT SAYS

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED TO BEGIN

TO HIM AND ONE OF THE GREATEST

WAYS I'VE LEARNED TO DO THIS

WHEN MY PROFESSOR LOOKED AT ME

AND HE SAID DID YOU KNOW THAT A

WANDERING MIND IN PRAYER PRAYER

IS A GIFT?

AND I WAS LIKE WHAT?

RIGHT.

SO WE ALL DO THIS THIS PRAY AND

IT'S REALLY LOVELY AND THINE IS

THE KINGDOM AND THE LORD AND

THEN YOUR MIND BEGINS TO WANDER

AND THEN YOU REALIZE LIKE 90

SECONDS LATER YOU PAUSE THE

PRAYER SHAME YOURSELF BACK TO

THE PERFORMANCE.

SO SORRY.

NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THERE.

WELL, I'M BACK.

THIS IS RIGHT AND WE JUST DON'T

EVEN REALIZE THIS RHYTHM

HAPPENS IN OUR LIVES AND TO

REALIZE OH WAIT, WHAT IF A

WANDERING IS A GIFT BECAUSE

WHERE'S OUR MIND WANDERING TO

TO IN PRAYER?

PROBABLY THE VERY THING THAT

HAS OUR OUR HEART AND WHAT DOES

THE LORD WANT IN PRAYER ARE

HEART TRUST IN THE LORD WITH

ALL YOUR HEART ENCOURAGEMENT IF

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU'RE AT

WHERE'S YOUR MIND WANDERING TO

PAUSE THE PRAYER EVER AGAIN

YEAH THAT'S SO POWERFUL.

OH MY GOSH MEGHAN WE CAN KEEP

TALKING.

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME BUT

THE THING I WANTED TO ASK YOU

WHAT ARE LIKE ONE OR TWO

PRACTICAL TIPS THAT VIEWERS AND

LISTENERS CAN TAKE THEM TO

REALLY TRUST IN THE LORD WITH

ALL WITH ALL THEIR ALL THEIR

HEARTS?

YES.

PRACTICALLY I'D SAY THIS THINK

OF A SPACE PLACE IN A TIME THAT

CAN TRIGGER YOUR MIND TO

REMEMBER TO GO TO GOD INSTEAD

OF GO TO YOURSELF FOR ME

ALTHOUGH I KNOW I COULD FORGET

TO PRAY IN THE MORNING I'LL

JUST GIVE YOU THIS ONE TOO.

I KNOW FORGET COFFEE.

SO FOR ME I'VE CREATED A BRAND

THAT WHEN I PRESS THAT LITTLE

COFFEE BUTTON IT'S A TRIGGER TO

TO GO TO GOD.

LET MY MIND GO WHERE IT GOES

AND SHARE IT ALL AND THE BY

PRODUCT NOT THE PURSUIT THE

BYPRODUCT OF FAITH IS A RELAXED

APPROACH TO EVERYTHING YOU'RE

FACING NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO

FAKE A THING BUT BECAUSE HE

MEETS YOU PRECISELY WHERE

YOU'RE AT AND LOVES YOU RIGHT

THERE.

YOU KNOW I DON'T REALLY DO THIS

THAT OFTEN WITH WITH INTERVIEWS

BUT CAN YOU PRAYING FOR OUR

VIEWERS AND JUST AND LEADING US

IN A PRAYER WHEREVER THEY'RE AT

JUST YEAH THE HONOR SPIRIT LEAD

YEAH SO HERE WE ARE A LORD MAY

BE SURPRISED IN THIS MOMENT TO

STOP JUST BEING A VIEWER AND

START TO BE AN ENGAGED.

THAT'S WHAT I PRAY FOR EVERY

VIEWER TO ENGAGE THEIR HEARTS

ALERT.

WE PRAYED JUST AS THE PSALMIST

PRAYED THAT YOU WOULD SEARCH

OUR HEART IF THERE'S ANGER IN

THERE THAT WE CAN BE HONEST

WITH YOU YOU IF THERE'S

SADNESS, IF WE FEEL TIRED AND

APATHETIC AND FEELING FEELING

LIKE WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO

GET CLOSER TO YOU THAT WE'VE

JUST KIND OF GIVEN UP OR MAYBE

THAT WE'RE TRYING AND IT

DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING.

I PRAY RIGHT NOW THAT EVERYONE

LISTENING TO THE SOUND TO THE

SOUND OF MY VOICE WOULD HAVE

THE COURAGE TO BE HONEST WITH

YOU.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO

SOVEREIGN SO IN CONTROL OF ALL

THINGS AND USING ALL THINGS FOR

GOOD TO FORM MORE INTO YOUR

LIKENESS.

VISIT WATCH CBN NEWS.COM WHERE

TO WATCH JAMIE VAUGHN COULDN'T

CONTROL HIS WORLD.

HE COULDN'T SAVE HIS WIFE AND

HE COULDN'T PROTECT HIS

DAUGHTER FROM PAIN.

AT LEAST JAMIE THOUGHT HE COULD

HOW HE DIED AND THAT'S WHY HE

TOOK HIS GUN

AND PULLED THE TRIGGER.

LOOK AT YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT

EVERYBODY FOOLED BUT YOU KNOW

WHAT YOU ARE YOU'RE NOT A GOOD

FATHER YOU AREN'T A GOOD

HUSBAND.

YOU'RE AN ALCOHOLIC, AN ADDICT.

YOU'RE ALL THESE THINGS AND IF

YOU REALLY WANT TO DO YOUR TO

DO YOUR DAUGHTER IN THE WORLD A

FAVOR, YOU'LL END IT RIGHT NOW

.

JAMIE VAUGHN WAS ABANDONED

BY HIS PARENTS AFTER HIS BIRTH

.

HE WAS ADOPTED BY HIS

GRANDPARENTS AND AT A YOUNG AGE

HE AGE HE FOUND SELF-WORTH AND

A SENSE OF CONTROL AND MARTIAL

ARTS TOTALLY ALLOWED THIS TO

SHAKE MY IDENTITY BECAUSE I

DIDN'T HAVE ONE.

YOU KNOW, I GREW UP WITHOUT A

DAD AND MY LIFE DIDN'T HAVE

THAT MALE INFLUENCE YOU KNOW,

LIVING WITH A SENSE OF THAT

ABANDONMENT FROM YOUR PARENTS

ESPECIALLY A FATHER THAT REALLY

HURT A LOVED ONE AS IN THEY

LOVE ME, RIGHT?

WHY DOESN'T HE ACCEPT ME?

HIS GRANDPARENTS TOOK TOOK HIM

TO CHURCH BUT HIS IDENTITY AND

PURPOSE CAME FROM HIS TIME IN

THE DOJO.

HIS COMMITMENT THERE TURNED

INTO A SUCCESSFUL CAREER WHICH

LED TO COACHING ENEMY FIGHTERS

AND HIS INDUCTION IN THE U.S.

ARTS HALL OF FAME.

I PUT MY IDENTITY AND SUCCESS

AND WHATEVER I DID.

THIS IS WHO I AM.

I'M A MARTIAL ARTIST THAT I

BECAME A TEACHER AND THEN I

BECAME THE BUSINESS OWNER AND

EVERY TIME I WOULD GET WHAT I

WAS LOOKING FOR IT DIDN'T

FULFILL ME SO I.

I WAS CAST A LITTLE BIT FOR

SOMETHING ELSE.

I COULDN'T BE SUCCESSFUL

ENOUGH.

I COULDN'T HAVE ENOUGH IN THE

BANK HAD EVERYTHING I HAD EVER

REALLY WANTED HAD SECURITY.

I HAD ALL THAT.

AND THEN WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD

CRASHED IT, NONE OF IT ANYTHING

TO ME.

HIS WORLD CRASHED 11 AND HIS

WIFE AMANDA WHO HAD A LONG TERM

TOLD JAMIE TO CALL 911.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CALL

AND SHE FELL ON ME AND AT THAT

POINT I'M WITH 9110 PERFORMING

CPR ON MY DAUGHTER WAS STANDING

THERE WITH HER MOM'S BIBLE

PRAYING, BEGGING GOD TO SPARE

AND I'M TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING

I CAN DO CAN DO.

I'VE TRAINED MY WHOLE LIFE

EVERYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW

MARTIAL MARTIAL ARTS TO

MILITARY TO JUST EVERYTHING TO

HAVE THIS WORLD THAT I CONTROL

AND MAN, I COULDN'T SAVE MY OWN

LIFE.

I COULDN'T SAVE AND PROTECT MY

DAUGHTER FROM THAT PAIN IN I

FELT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

AMANDA DIED.

JAMIE'S ILLUSION OF CONTROL

PERISHED WIFE.

OVER THE NEXT YEAR HE BEGAN

ABUSING ALCOHOL, PRESCRIPTION

DRUGS, ANYTHING TO DULL THE

PAIN.

I WAS SO DEPENDENT ON THIS

STUFF I BECAME A PERSON I NEVER

THOUGHT THOUGHT I WOULD BE

CONFIDENT EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT

PERSON.

I HAD MY DAYTIME SELF.

I'M A MENTOR TO THESE KIDS THAT

I TEACH MARTIAL ARTS TO.

I'M A COACH TO THESE GUYS THAT

FIGHT FOR ME.

BUT THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER

SIDE TO ME WAS MISERABLE.

I WAS EMPTY AND I WAS VERY

SELF-DESTRUCTIVE.

I REMEMBER EVEN SAYING TO GOD

IF YOU.

I NEVER DOUBTED GOD'S

EXISTENCE.

I JUST JUST DIDN'T THINK HE WAS

GOOD.

HE DID HIS BEST TO HIDE HIS

VICES WHILE LIVING A DOUBLE

LIFE AND STRUGGLING WITH

ADDICTION.

THEN THEN ONE DAY WHILE OUT ON

HIS PROPERTY TARGET SHOOTING

HIS MIND WAS FLOODED WITH GUILT

AND THOUGHTS OF CONDEMNATION.

NOT A GOOD FATHER.

YOU AREN'T A GOOD HUSBAND.

YOU'RE AN ALCOHOLIC.

YOU'RE AN ADDICT.

I'M A FAILURE.

I AM.

I DON'T NEED TO BE HERE

ANYMORE.

AND THAT'S WHEN I TOOK THE

WEAPON AND I PUT IT IN MY MOUTH

.

I'LL PULL THE TRIGGER AND I'LL

NEVER FORGET THIS WHEN I PULL

IT CLICKED ON THIS THING

CLICKED SOMETHING IN MY HEAD

CLICKED AS I GOT I DON'T I

DON'T WANT TO DIE I DROPPED ON

MY KNEES I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT

AND THAT AND THEN ALL OF A

SUDDEN CENTERS PRAYERS AND ALL

THAT OTHER STUFF BUT IN THAT

MOMENT I REALLY TALKED TO GOD

AND I WAS LIKE GOD, I'M A I'M

JUST JACKED UP MESSED UP UP I

DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY

LIFE ANYMORE.

AND AS AS RICK BUT IF YOU CAN

DO SOMETHING WITH IT YOU CAN

HAVE IT.

BECAUSE I CAN'T LIVE LIKE

THIS BY MYSELF ANYMORE.

JAMIE SAYS GOD MET HIM IN HIS

MOMENT OF SURRENDER.

I FELL ON MY KNEES A BROKEN

WRECK OF A PERSON BUT I GOT A

CHILD THE LIVING GOD PIECE

FLOODED.

FLOODED.

SOMETHING HAPPENED INSIDE OF ME

AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

YOU KNOW THIS IS WAY BEYOND AND

FEELINGS.

SOMETHING JUST HAPPENED THAT I

WAS LIKE THIS LIKE.

THIS IS REAL AND I NEVER REALLY

EXPERIENCED THAT IN MY LIFE.

I EXPERIENCE RELIGION BUT NOT

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IT GAVE ME REAL LIFE IN THAT

MOMENT IT WAS JOY THAT I NOT

REALLY EVER EXPERIENCED.

A MOMENT LATER AS HE CLEARED

THE GUN THE SHOT FIRED.

JAMIE KNEW GOD MIRACULOUSLY

SPARED HIS LIFE THAT DAY

FREEDOM AND A NEW IDENTITY IN

CHRIST AS HE PUT.

HE PUT HIS FUTURE IN GOD'S

CONTROL AND SO EVERYTHING JUST

BECAME BECAME ALIVE.

YOU KNOW, SO AS I BEGIN TO JUST

WALK WITH GOD IT WAS LIKE IT

JUST THIS CHANGE JUST BEGAN TO

FALL OFF ONE AFTER THE OTHER

AFTER THE OTHER.

WHAT I FOUND WAS WHAT I REALLY

WANTED AND THIS OTHER STUFF

EXCEPT THIS WAS REAL WAS REAL.

IT WASN'T COUNTERFEIT SO

THERE'S NO GOING BACK FOR ME.

WHEN HE GAVE ME A NEW PURPOSE

HE GAVE ME NEW DESIRES AND NOT

THAT I DON'T AND APPRECIATE

EVERYTHING MARTIAL ARTS HAS

GIVEN ME BUT BUT MAN I WANTED

TO SERVE GOD FULL TIME.

HE HAS SINCE REMARRIED AND, NOW

WORKS IN MINISTRY ENCOURAGING

OTHERS TO FIND THEIR PEACE AND

IDENTITY AS A CHILD OF GOD

THROUGH JESUS JESUS CHRIST.

IF YOU WANT REAL PEACE HE GOT

TO MEET JESUS.

HE'S THE ONE THAT BRINGS PIECES

THE PRINCE OF PEACE, ALL THAT

STUFF.

BUT YOU REALLY GOT TO MEET HIM

AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO TRUST

HIM AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO OBEY

AND WALK A REGULAR BASIS TO

REALLY GET THAT.

THE STUFF THAT I TRIED TO GET

PEACE FROM UP AND FEEL FOR ALL

THOSE YEARS I FOUND IT IN HIM.

HE REALLY IS MY FATHER.

WELL, I PRAY I'M PRAYING LIKE

PAUL SAID ABBA LIKE LITTLE

CHILDREN LIKE DADDY.

THAT'S HOW I LOOK AT HIM AT

HIM.

BUT THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING FOR

ME NOTHING.

LIKE PAUL SAID, EVERYTHING THAT

I'VE ACCOMPLISHED I COUNT IT AS

NOTHING.

IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING TO ME

ANYMORE BECAUSE WHAT I FOUND IN

HIM THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE.

I'LL STAY RIGHT HERE FOREVER

FOREVER.

THIS IS GOOD WHAT JAMIE FOUND

IN A RELATIONSHIP AND IN AN

AUTHENTIC REAL RELATIONSHIP

WITH HIS HEAVENLY FATHER WITH

THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

YOUR SAVIOR, MY SAVIOR JESUS.

WHAT HE FOUND WAS PEACE.

PEACE.

WHAT HE FOUND WAS PURPOSE.

A PURPOSE FOR HIS LIFE.

A PURPOSE UP EVERY DAY AND BE

THANKFUL.

HE ALSO FOUND.

HE REALIZED THAT HE IS A CHILD

OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

HE IS A SON OF GOD.

AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING NOW AND

YOU ARE JUST IN THIS PIT THIS

PIT OF DESPAIR, THIS PIT OF

DARKNESS FOR YEARS YOU'VE BEEN

HERE AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO

GET OUT MY FRIENDS.

ALL YOU HAVE IS CRY OUT TO THE

LORD.

THAT IS WHAT JIMMY DID.

GOD TRULY PERFORMED IN JAMIE'S

LIFE.

HE HAD A GUN AND HE'S AND HE'S

HIS MOUTH.

HE PULLED THE TRIGGER AND IT

DIDN'T GO OFF.

THAT CHANCE AT LIFE AND I

BELIEVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING

RIGHT NOW GOD IS GIVING YOU

SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.

IF YOU WOULD JUST CRY OUT TO

HIM AND FULLY SURRENDER YOUR

HEARTS TO HIM.

YOU TOO CAN HAVE PEACE,

PURPOSE, IDENTITY, FREEDOM AND

LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE.

GOD DID NOT CREATE YOU TO

REMAIN THIS PIT HE HAS GIVEN

YOU A WAY OUT AND THAT OUT IS A

RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM THAT WAY

OUT OUT AS A RELATIONSHIP WITH

JESUS CHRIST.

AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
