  • Thinking you know of course we're against someone who

  • Espouses support for that we generally do see as terrorists
  • 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.542

  • But let me remind you what happened at columbia university
  • 00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:13.557
  • . .
  • 00:12:13.557 --> 00:12:14.558
  • The president of that university issued a call the
  • 00:12:14.658 --> 00:12:17.862
  • New york police to come and intervene.
  • 00:12:17.862 --> 00:12:19.096
  • >> and it's interesting that was used a clear and present.
  • 00:12:19.096 --> 00:12:25.769
  • >> this isn't just speech. there was violence that campus
  • 00:12:25.769 --> 00:12:30.007
  • And there were calls to violence and there were calls
  • 00:12:30.007 --> 00:12:32.810
  • Support a terror organization, a terror organization that was
  • 00:12:32.810 --> 00:12:37.381
  • In charge of gaza that launched a horrific against israel and
  • 00:12:37.381 --> 00:12:41.218
  • Was holding u.s. as hostages. this individual is a a graduate
  • 00:12:41.218 --> 00:12:49.326
  • Now of columbia university, they're no longer a a student
  • 00:12:49.326 --> 00:12:52.396
  • And so why should we have a student protest?
  • 00:12:52.396 --> 00:12:56.367
  • >> he's not a student anymore. he led an uprising.
  • 00:12:56.367 --> 00:13:00.204
  • He took over buildings and he urged violence and he urged
  • 00:13:00.204 --> 00:13:04.308
  • Violence against jewish students that same university
  • 00:13:04.308 --> 00:13:08.479
  • Who said we're no longer safe here.
  • 00:13:08.479 --> 00:13:11.348
  • Well, in my view that's no longer a speech issue that a
  • 00:13:11.348 --> 00:13:15.185
  • Violence issue. and when you do that kind when
  • 00:13:15.185 --> 00:13:19.189
  • You take over a student, when you take over a university and
  • 00:13:19.189 --> 00:13:23.427
  • And you destroy property and you threaten violence well no
  • 00:13:23.427 --> 00:13:27.731
  • Longer that speech you've committed a crime and now
  • 00:13:27.731 --> 00:13:31.802
  • There's a proper for the state to say you're no longer welcome
  • 00:13:31.802 --> 00:13:35.973
  • Here. well, the courts are going to
  • 00:13:35.973 --> 00:13:39.643
  • Have to rule on this. again i'm all for free speech
  • 00:13:39.643 --> 00:13:43.280

  • Miracles can be explained by purely physical reasons in the
  • 00:15:23.531 --> 00:15:27.635

  • The documentary looks at how science explains miracles and
  • 00:15:47.755 --> 00:15:51.559
  • What the bible says about the miraculous in modern times
  • 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:55.563
  • Using science as well as firsthand testimony invest
  • 00:15:55.563 --> 00:15:59.667
  • Educating the supernatural miracles sheds new light on a

  • That are sometimes beyond physical explanations.
  • 00:16:03.571 --> 00:16:07.842
  • >> billy hollowell is here with us now more on this.
  • 00:16:07.842 --> 00:16:11.946
  • So for christians who already believe in miracles, what is
  • 00:16:11.946 --> 00:16:16.284
  • This documentary going to offer them?
  • 00:16:16.284 --> 00:16:17.351
  • >> i think it offers the corroboration you know, we
  • 00:16:17.351 --> 00:16:19.720
  • Often want to see those stories.
  • 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:20.988
  • We want to see them play and i think you get the evidence that
  • 00:16:20.988 --> 00:16:23.791
  • Is really remarkable evidence you don't always see when we
  • 00:16:23.791 --> 00:16:27.295
  • Talk about or feel miracles in our own lives.
  • 00:16:27.295 --> 00:16:28.529
  • >> okay but obviously i think the film is aimed at skeptics
  • 00:16:28.529 --> 00:16:34.302
  • To say, you know, you believe the age of miracles is past and
  • 00:16:34.302 --> 00:16:38.973
  • And some evidence for it. one of my mentors was taylor
  • 00:16:38.973 --> 00:16:46.247
  • Osborn who's probably seen more miracles any other person in
  • 00:16:46.247 --> 00:16:49.317
  • The last hundred years.
  • 00:16:49.317 --> 00:16:50.251
  • >> and he used document all the miracles.
  • 00:16:50.251 --> 00:16:53.588
  • He would go out and get the medical reports and all of that
  • 00:16:53.588 --> 00:16:56.457
  • And then he found that it really didn't convince anybody
  • 00:16:56.457 --> 00:17:00.194
  • That they would read the report and it happened to them they
  • 00:17:00.194 --> 00:17:04.799
  • Were going to keep their their doubt.
  • 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.069
  • >> are you hoping this can can break through that?
  • 00:17:08.069 --> 00:17:11.872
  • >> absolutely. i think you have a couple of
  • 00:17:11.872 --> 00:17:13.040
  • Different groups of people. you have the who already
  • 00:17:13.040 --> 00:17:15.376
  • Believe you have the christians and i think this is the hardest
  • 00:17:15.376 --> 00:17:16.911
  • Group sometimes read the bible. they see the miracles in
  • 00:17:16.911 --> 00:17:19.213
  • Scripture and they don't believe they're still
  • 00:17:19.213 --> 00:17:22.917
  • Happening. and that's a tough group to
  • 00:17:22.917 --> 00:17:23.985
  • Reach. and then you have the third
  • 00:17:23.985 --> 00:17:25.319
  • Group which is the atheists, the skeptics who really don't
  • 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.754
  • Believe it at all. but when you are confronted
  • 00:17:26.754 --> 00:17:30.091
  • With evidence when you're confronted with a case that
  • 00:17:30.091 --> 00:17:31.459
  • There is other explanation for how it happened and you have
  • 00:17:31.459 --> 00:17:34.295
  • The medical documentation, the hope is that those cases and
  • 00:17:34.295 --> 00:17:38.099
  • We've got three or four of them in this documentary that they
  • 00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:41.435
  • Coalesced to create a doubt about your doubt to make you
  • 00:17:41.435 --> 00:17:44.438
  • Say is there something deeper going on here and to open that
  • 00:17:44.438 --> 00:17:48.142
  • That door and maybe it's the initial door that will open to
  • 00:17:48.142 --> 00:17:49.710
  • Help people see clearer why do you think it's happened in the
  • 00:17:49.710 --> 00:17:53.714
  • Church?
  • 00:17:53.714 --> 00:17:54.815
  • >> it's it's like the bible predicted it they'll have a
  • 00:17:54.915 --> 00:17:55.950
  • Form of godliness but deny the power.
  • 00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:57.151
  • Well that was something did 2000 years ago but he's not in
  • 00:17:57.151 --> 00:18:00.421
  • The miracle business today.
  • 00:18:00.421 --> 00:18:03.591
  • >> how do you really break through that to say well, you
  • 00:18:03.591 --> 00:18:07.928
  • Can't have god's power in your life?
  • 00:18:07.928 --> 00:18:11.899
  • He does want to work on your behalf.
  • 00:18:11.899 --> 00:18:13.000
  • He does want to heal your disease.
  • 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.103
  • >> i mean you look at mark five mark five is filled with
  • 00:18:16.103 --> 00:18:18.306
  • Numerous miracles. i was just rereading it the
  • 00:18:18.306 --> 00:18:21.776
  • Woman who's suffering for 12 years.
  • 00:18:21.776 --> 00:18:22.777
  • Right. and she's spent all of her
  • 00:18:22.777 --> 00:18:23.978
  • Money and she just wants to reach out and touch jesus and
  • 00:18:23.978 --> 00:18:26.714
  • She gets healing and it's a remarkable.
  • 00:18:26.714 --> 00:18:29.684
  • You can't read the bible without seeing miracles
  • 00:18:29.684 --> 00:18:30.985
  • Everywhere. and so question of how did we
  • 00:18:30.985 --> 00:18:33.254
  • Get here? you know, i think the secular
  • 00:18:33.254 --> 00:18:34.388
  • Culture has pushed in the church and everything is so
  • 00:18:34.388 --> 00:18:37.491
  • Material that we've sort of pulled back and we're willing
  • 00:18:37.491 --> 00:18:40.628
  • To believe. and so i think we need to see
  • 00:18:40.628 --> 00:18:41.829
  • These stories and. look, we're also watching
  • 00:18:41.829 --> 00:18:44.532
  • People flock to on campuses. college students flock faith.
  • 00:18:44.532 --> 00:18:47.902
  • It's really remarkable the moment that we're in right now
  • 00:18:47.902 --> 00:18:49.403
  • And actually the perfect moment to be elevating these stories
  • 00:18:49.403 --> 00:18:52.907
  • As we always do at cbn but in this form in the documentary
  • 00:18:52.907 --> 00:18:56.711
  • Showing people very compelling cases again can open that door
  • 00:18:56.711 --> 00:19:00.348
  • To belief.
  • 00:19:00.348 --> 00:19:01.549
  • >> for someone watching now and wanting to get it, what do you
  • 00:19:01.649 --> 00:19:04.985
  • Think the prime thing they should do with it?
  • 00:19:04.985 --> 00:19:08.889
  • Should they have like have a miracle party and you know will
  • 00:19:08.889 --> 00:19:12.927
  • Serve our our desires and it's kind of like a super bowl party
  • 00:19:12.927 --> 00:19:16.364
  • But we'll watch a documentary on miracles a miracle watch
  • 00:19:16.364 --> 00:19:19.867
  • Party.
  • 00:19:19.867 --> 00:19:20.835
  • >> i like that. i would everybody to watch this
  • 00:19:20.935 --> 00:19:22.403
  • And then when they're done watching it, you know they're
  • 00:19:22.403 --> 00:19:23.804
  • Going to be compelled it to other family members whether
  • 00:19:23.804 --> 00:19:27.842
  • They're in that first group they already believe the middle
  • 00:19:27.842 --> 00:19:29.977
  • Of christians. but for some reason we don't
  • 00:19:29.977 --> 00:19:31.178
  • Really believe this is still happening or that third group
  • 00:19:31.178 --> 00:19:34.548
  • The skeptics, the atheists. i think that those people
  • 00:19:34.548 --> 00:19:37.952
  • They're intrigued by these topics.
  • 00:19:37.952 --> 00:19:38.953
  • Every human being is no matter where they are.
  • 00:19:38.953 --> 00:19:42.189
  • We know there are cases that can't be explained and we can
  • 00:19:42.189 --> 00:19:43.691
  • Haggle over how did it happen. but the cases in this
  • 00:19:43.691 --> 00:19:46.894
  • Documentary are so ironclad that away very convicted.
  • 00:19:46.894 --> 00:19:50.264
  • I actually walked away with my faith deeply impacted feeling
  • 00:19:50.264 --> 00:19:53.401
  • As though would i have reacted the same way if i had a
  • 00:19:53.401 --> 00:19:57.605
  • Diagnosis like the people in this film?
  • 00:19:57.605 --> 00:19:58.839
  • You know a brain tumor couldn't be treated paralysis for ten
  • 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:04.278
  • Years. would i have had the same
  • 00:20:04.278 --> 00:20:05.446
  • Persistence that they had? and i think before would have
  • 00:20:05.446 --> 00:20:08.382
  • Said no but after i would say yes now i would i hope the same
  • 00:20:08.382 --> 00:20:12.720
  • For other people in their journeys as well.
  • 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.888
  • >> when you got into were you a skeptic too?
  • 00:20:13.888 --> 00:20:16.056
  • >> i believed in miracles i had not personally experienced or
  • 00:20:16.056 --> 00:20:20.161
  • Seen many of the types of that we document in this film.
  • 00:20:20.161 --> 00:20:23.998
  • So i went into it believing but i was a skeptic in terms of and
  • 00:20:23.998 --> 00:20:27.101
  • I always am i want you to prove it to me show and so i
  • 00:20:27.101 --> 00:20:30.671
  • Approached it from that lens and i kept hitting these walls
  • 00:20:30.671 --> 00:20:34.575
  • Of i can't poke holes in this. there's i mean i don't want to
  • 00:20:34.575 --> 00:20:36.210
  • Give it away but there was really no way as we were
  • 00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:39.447
  • Journeying through this and so i knew it was possible but in
  • 00:20:39.447 --> 00:20:41.816
  • Each case wanted to treat it as though it needed proven and so
  • 00:20:41.816 --> 00:20:45.653
  • That's how we presented it to give people the chance to make
  • 00:20:45.653 --> 00:20:49.290
  • A decision for themselves after seeing that evidence.
  • 00:20:49.290 --> 00:20:50.624
  • >> what would you say to people want a miracle and maybe have
  • 00:20:50.624 --> 00:20:53.360
  • Seen miracles in their lives but for for whatever reason
  • 00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:57.531
  • They're going i'm not getting one right now this isn't
  • 00:20:57.531 --> 00:21:01.101
  • Happening and whether it's i've this for 12 years the woman
  • 00:21:01.101 --> 00:21:05.306
  • With it you know in the bible you know and you see other
  • 00:21:05.306 --> 00:21:09.610
  • Cases you know woman bent over for 18 years they've they've
  • 00:21:09.610 --> 00:21:15.549
  • Had it for a very long time and it's so much a part of their
  • 00:21:15.549 --> 00:21:17.485
  • Lives they almost own it. they talk about my cancer or my
  • 00:21:17.485 --> 00:21:23.524
  • Heart condition or my arthritis that they own it.
  • 00:21:23.524 --> 00:21:28.028
  • >> what would you say to that? i would say that every one of
  • 00:21:28.028 --> 00:21:29.597
  • The people in this film and this really out to me after
  • 00:21:29.597 --> 00:21:32.132
  • They all struggle for a long time like the woman we talked
  • 00:21:32.132 --> 00:21:35.569
  • About in mark five it was ten years it was multiple years was
  • 00:21:35.569 --> 00:21:39.673
  • Multiple prayer events. these people didn't just show
  • 00:21:39.673 --> 00:21:41.041
  • Up to one event and pray once and get healed.
  • 00:21:41.041 --> 00:21:42.776
  • They were on a journey and they persisted and as hard as it is
  • 00:21:42.776 --> 00:21:46.514
  • This is really about trust. it's a journey for to learn to
  • 00:21:46.514 --> 00:21:50.117
  • Trust god that no matter what happens we want that miracle we
  • 00:21:50.117 --> 00:21:54.421
  • Believe for that miracle we're going to persist for that
  • 00:21:54.421 --> 00:21:55.823
  • Miracle. but have to rest in god's plan
  • 00:21:55.823 --> 00:21:58.359
  • And understand that we may not get the miracle on this side
  • 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.462
  • But we have to believe that we can and all of them believe
  • 00:22:01.462 --> 00:22:04.765
  • They could and it was their persistence that led them into
  • 00:22:04.765 --> 00:22:06.367
  • A where they were able to receive that.
  • 00:22:06.367 --> 00:22:09.970
  • And so i just come back to trust on this making sure that
  • 00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:12.273
  • We are leaning into god and his plan over our lives a man and a
  • 00:22:12.273 --> 00:22:17.111

  • Had been made to do what i'd been called to do.
  • 00:43:58.047 --> 00:43:59.349

  • Pastor. things were great in my
  • 00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:06.523

  • And so angel, our kids really kind of got the leftovers.
  • 00:44:26.176 --> 00:44:33.216
  • The one who was supposed to be my protector and the one who
  • 00:44:33.216 --> 00:44:34.651
  • Brought me and joy. right.
  • 00:44:34.651 --> 00:44:37.453
  • And and security just i just felt was leaving me.

  • If this is what ministry is god like i want nothing to do with

  • I just shut the door on jesus opened a beautiful french door
  • 00:44:52.869 --> 00:44:56.906

  • Ice cold toward me.
  • 00:45:04.013 --> 00:45:05.181
  • >> i said okay, i'm done like i'm going to do me when i want
  • 00:45:05.281 --> 00:45:08.651
  • To do me. angel turned her back on god
  • 00:45:08.651 --> 00:45:10.820
  • And pulled away from john emotional.
  • 00:45:10.820 --> 00:45:15.225
  • She found the attention she longed for at the gym.
  • 00:45:15.225 --> 00:45:18.328
  • She began having an affair with her personal trainer.

  • Not only do i feel bad for what i have done like i know i hate
  • 00:45:22.332 --> 00:45:25.802

  • >> am that there's no value in here.
  • 00:45:26.769 --> 00:45:30.540
  • Like i am the biggest. what's the point?
  • 00:45:30.540 --> 00:45:33.843
  • Why try? and so i just gave myself to
  • 00:45:33.843 --> 00:45:37.247
  • Whoever wanted me.
  • 00:45:37.247 --> 00:45:38.481
  • >> overwhelmed with guilt angel eventually confessed the affair
  • 00:45:38.581 --> 00:45:41.150
  • To john but her heart remained hard.
  • 00:45:41.150 --> 00:45:44.654
  • John kept the affair private. i share this.
  • 00:45:44.654 --> 00:45:48.758
  • >> if i forced this to the table what happens to who i am
  • 00:45:48.758 --> 00:45:52.829
  • A pastor right. does that just all go away?
  • 00:45:52.829 --> 00:45:57.133
  • And so that fed into my fears and my cowardice.
  • 00:45:57.133 --> 00:46:04.374
  • >> it wasn't long before angel had another affair.
  • 00:46:04.374 --> 00:46:07.477
  • The spiritual turmoil she lived with consumed her life.
  • 00:46:07.477 --> 00:46:12.382
  • I can't keep living this lie because i am dying inside.
  • 00:46:12.382 --> 00:46:16.552
  • This is not who you created me to be.
  • 00:46:16.552 --> 00:46:17.687
  • So i am just praying for brokenness.
  • 00:46:17.687 --> 00:46:20.456
  • On a christian retreat in the middle of worship she began to
  • 00:46:20.456 --> 00:46:26.829
  • Shake uncontrollably.
  • 00:46:26.829 --> 00:46:28.031
  • >> and john looked at me and. he was like are you okay?
  • 00:46:28.031 --> 00:46:31.534
  • And i said no, i'm not okay. i something i have to confess.
  • 00:46:31.534 --> 00:46:35.071
  • And i just confessed at that that i had been having an
  • 00:46:35.071 --> 00:46:39.242
  • Affair.
  • 00:46:39.242 --> 00:46:40.276
  • >> i just felt sick. and yet at the same time i felt
  • 00:46:40.376 --> 00:46:44.414
  • Hopeful for the first time. like as angel shared then and
  • 00:46:44.414 --> 00:46:48.918
  • Continued to share throughout that night i was like my wife
  • 00:46:48.918 --> 00:46:51.921
  • Is finally back. like those dead eyes were
  • 00:46:51.921 --> 00:46:55.925
  • Finally alive. what held me there was actually
  • 00:46:55.925 --> 00:46:57.193
  • The spirit god granting in me deep compassion and love for my
  • 00:46:57.193 --> 00:47:04.033
  • Wife. like a renewed love, a restored
  • 00:47:04.033 --> 00:47:07.737
  • . .
  • 00:47:07.737 --> 00:47:08.938
  • In some ways i would say kind of a clearer god their love for
  • 00:47:09.038 --> 00:47:12.308
  • Her than i'd ever experienced before.
  • 00:47:12.308 --> 00:47:15.878
  • >> together they began a two year process and forgiveness
  • 00:47:15.878 --> 00:47:19.982
  • With counseling confessing sin and misplaced priority.
  • 00:47:19.982 --> 00:47:24.654
  • >> this was the prayer heart. if there's anything in the dark
  • 00:47:24.654 --> 00:47:29.025
  • Lord bring it to the light no matter the cost bring it to the

  • A heartbeat for her if that's what i needed to do.
  • 00:48:17.607 --> 00:48:18.975
  • Jesus sings and dances over me he delights in me and my sin my
  • 00:48:18.975 --> 00:48:24.414
  • Guilt my shame is covered by the blood of christ.
  • 00:48:24.414 --> 00:48:28.251
  • You have freedom to think whatever you want about me but
  • 00:48:28.251 --> 00:48:32.255
  • I'm not going to let that define me because jesus does
  • 00:48:32.255 --> 00:48:35.158
  • And he's happy with me and that's good enough.
  • 00:48:35.158 --> 00:48:39.462
  • >> yes, i am ambitious for god's kingdom.
  • 00:48:39.462 --> 00:48:40.696
  • I am ambitious for his church. i am ambitious for for the
  • 00:48:40.696 --> 00:48:44.600
  • Things of the lord. but that ambition has to be
  • 00:48:44.600 --> 00:48:47.370
  • Greatest for my wife. she's the first most important
  • 00:48:47.370 --> 00:48:51.274
  • Thing i've been given to steward and then my kids and
  • 00:48:51.274 --> 00:48:55.011
  • Then the church.
  • 00:48:55.011 --> 00:48:58.448
  • >> what an absolute beautiful picture of the gospel.
  • 00:48:58.448 --> 00:49:02.051
  • That's exactly what we just witnessed we see the gospel of
  • 00:49:02.051 --> 00:49:06.088
  • Jesus christ at work in reconciliation in forgiveness
  • 00:49:06.088 --> 00:49:10.059
  • In healing brokenness and what a prayer that angel prayed she
  • 00:49:10.059 --> 00:49:17.400
  • For brokenness. you know god is attracted to
  • 00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:21.304
  • Brokenness. it's nail our brokenness when
  • 00:49:21.304 --> 00:49:24.974
  • We know that we can't change ourselves.
  • 00:49:24.974 --> 00:49:28.644
  • We can't change our marriages. we can't change anything.
  • 00:49:28.644 --> 00:49:32.782
  • But when we bring our brokenness to jesus the one who
  • 00:49:32.782 --> 00:49:37.019
  • Can heal any brokenness in our lives in our homes, in our
  • 00:49:37.019 --> 00:49:41.324
  • Marriages. miracles happen.
  • 00:49:41.324 --> 00:49:44.794
  • And that's exactly what we saw with this beautiful couple.
  • 00:49:44.794 --> 00:49:46.229
