- The state's attorney general claims giving government funds
- 00:15:00.143 --> 00:15:03.646
- To a faith based school violates the constitution.
- 00:15:03.646 --> 00:15:07.650
- >> cbn's brody carter has the story.
- 00:15:07.650 --> 00:15:10.853
- If we permit state funding christian indoctrination then
- 00:15:10.853 --> 00:15:15.158
- We must permit state funding of non-christian indoctrination
- 00:15:15.158 --> 00:15:22.765
- Which could include schools of wiccan schools of worship,
- 00:15:22.765 --> 00:15:26.869
- Schools that indoctrinate in an extreme sect of the muslim
- 00:15:26.869 --> 00:15:30.373
- Faith sharia based which would exclude young women.
- 00:15:30.373 --> 00:15:34.477

- Against the state's charter school board trying to could
- 00:15:38.281 --> 00:15:45.922
- Open the floodgates.
- 00:15:45.922 --> 00:15:47.023
- >> we already have that the church of satan that saw an
- 00:15:47.123 --> 00:15:49.759
- Application to fill out. i think they think this is
- 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.696
- Lovely. you know the christians are
- 00:15:53.696 --> 00:15:54.764
- Going to fund satanic worship and indoctrination.
- 00:15:54.764 --> 00:15:57.233
- Drummond, a christian, argues the state not support or
- 00:15:57.233 --> 00:16:01.304
- Sponsor any religion on the other side, christian and state
- 00:16:01.304 --> 00:16:05.441
- Superintendent ryan walters sees the priority getting
- 00:16:05.441 --> 00:16:09.011
- Public money for families so they can send children to the
- 00:16:09.011 --> 00:16:10.446
- School.
- 00:16:10.446 --> 00:16:12.248
- >> their choice? it's about the freedom to
- 00:16:12.248 --> 00:16:13.483
- Express your religious beliefs without being penalized by the
- 00:16:13.483 --> 00:16:16.519
- Government. and it's about school choice
- 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.720
- And making sure that parents actually have that power over
- 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.491
- Their kids education.
- 00:16:21.491 --> 00:16:22.658
- >> walters, member of the charter school board, says the
- 00:16:22.658 --> 00:16:25.361
- Public funds would make a difference depends on kind of
- 00:16:25.361 --> 00:16:28.831
- Some other factors. but we're talking about roughly
- 00:16:28.831 --> 00:16:32.135
- Probably 6 to $7000 per child. so would would follow that
- 00:16:32.135 --> 00:16:36.772
- Child there and in this case now headed for the supreme
- 00:16:36.772 --> 00:16:40.076
- Later this month saint isidore of seville catholic charter
- 00:16:40.076 --> 00:16:41.477
- School aims to become the nation's first publicly funded
- 00:16:41.477 --> 00:16:44.413
- Religious charter school.
- 00:16:44.413 --> 00:16:47.483
- >> so why this would be so helpful as as a charter school
- 00:16:47.483 --> 00:16:51.521
- When a parent enrolls their child in end of their school,
- 00:16:51.521 --> 00:16:52.922
- Their taxpayer dollars directly to that school so they have
- 00:16:52.922 --> 00:16:56.092
- Opportunities at funding that a private school would not.
- 00:16:56.092 --> 00:17:00.429
- If the supreme court rules in favor of saint isidore, what
- 00:17:00.429 --> 00:17:03.833
- You're going to have are opportunities around the
- 00:17:03.833 --> 00:17:05.101
- Country that have been never been given before which is
- 00:17:05.101 --> 00:17:07.470
- Access to religious charter schools for children where
- 00:17:07.470 --> 00:17:11.073
- Parents don't have to try to scrape together funds to get
- 00:17:11.073 --> 00:17:14.877
- Their kids a great education.
- 00:17:14.877 --> 00:17:16.112
- >> critics including the aclu and its partners argue public
- 00:17:16.112 --> 00:17:19.115
- Funding for religious schools violates, the separation of
- 00:17:19.115 --> 00:17:23.052
- Church and state while undermining religious freedom.
- 00:17:23.052 --> 00:17:26.489
- Regarding this case, they state oklahoma taxpayers including.
- 00:17:26.489 --> 00:17:29.592
- Our plaintiffs should not be compelled to finance a
- 00:17:29.592 --> 00:17:30.960
- Religious public that intends to discriminate and
- 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.263
- Indoctrinate students into singular faith.
- 00:17:34.263 --> 00:17:37.967
- >> it's really disappointing. you know, that's the position
- 00:17:37.967 --> 00:17:39.435
- That teachers unions have taken.
- 00:17:39.435 --> 00:17:41.370
- The democrats and state have taken these radical left wing
- 00:17:41.370 --> 00:17:45.174
- Groups that have engaged on this issue have taken i mean
- 00:17:45.174 --> 00:17:48.477
- Have seen some radical atheists come in and just say the
- 00:17:48.477 --> 00:17:49.979
- Nastiest things about christians and about the
- 00:17:49.979 --> 00:17:53.616
- Catholic church here satan is isidore catholic school
- 00:17:53.616 --> 00:17:55.618
- Represented by the first liberty institute which argues
- 00:17:55.618 --> 00:17:56.986
- That the constitution has free exercise clause should take
- 00:17:56.986 --> 00:18:00.756
- Precedence over state laws. that's one of the best baffling
- 00:18:00.756 --> 00:18:04.827
- Things about this case is that this has nothing to do with
- 00:18:04.827 --> 00:18:08.297
- What someone has to go to school for.
- 00:18:08.297 --> 00:18:09.365
- This is just offering. think about it.
- 00:18:09.365 --> 00:18:12.435
- That's the argument we want to just take this religious faith
- 00:18:12.435 --> 00:18:16.105
- Based school off the deck as a potential choice for voluntary
- 00:18:16.105 --> 00:18:20.176
- Parents.
- 00:18:20.176 --> 00:18:21.210
- >> liberty counsel is also involved its chairman matt
- 00:18:21.310 --> 00:18:24.380
- Staver who started covenant journey academy an online
- 00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:28.017
- Christian school would benefit should saint isidore prevail.
- 00:18:28.017 --> 00:18:32.021
- >> if oklahoma wins that means that christian schools like
- 00:18:32.021 --> 00:18:35.157
- Covenant journey academy and others around the country could
- 00:18:35.157 --> 00:18:38.928
- Be disqualified from neutral programs provide school choice
- 00:18:38.928 --> 00:18:42.565
- Opportunities to parents.
- 00:18:42.565 --> 00:18:43.733

- Us something about this cover, aren't you.
- 00:21:23.214 --> 00:21:26.317
- >> who took this photograph of you?
- 00:21:26.317 --> 00:21:27.485
- Well, my son took that photograph.
- 00:21:27.485 --> 00:21:30.121
- We were dropping him off to college and it's compelling to
- 00:21:30.121 --> 00:21:34.125
- Me because he took a picture of his father when i never saw
- 00:21:34.125 --> 00:21:37.261
- Picture of my father when i was dropped off or any time in my
- 00:21:37.261 --> 00:21:39.163
- Life.
- 00:21:39.163 --> 00:21:41.399
- >> we'll talk about your childhood.
- 00:21:41.399 --> 00:21:42.433
- I mean it's the basis for your book.
- 00:21:42.433 --> 00:21:43.501
- I mean it was pretty devastating.
- 00:21:43.501 --> 00:21:46.103
- >> well, i think lost is a good word to use only because i
- 00:21:46.103 --> 00:21:52.443
- Learned at an early age and it was a particularly incident
- 00:21:52.443 --> 00:21:56.447
- Where i was in junior high and i got accused of doing
- 00:21:56.447 --> 00:21:57.815
- Something i really didn't do with some other kids and i was
- 00:21:57.815 --> 00:22:01.218
- Sitting in a room and knew i couldn't call my mother because
- 00:22:01.218 --> 00:22:05.356
- She worked three jobs and then i realized i had no father to
- 00:22:05.356 --> 00:22:09.594
- Call. so in my young mind i actually
- 00:22:09.594 --> 00:22:12.663
- Realized i don't need a father because y need what you don't
- 00:22:12.663 --> 00:22:20.137
- Have. so all of my in those early
- 00:22:20.137 --> 00:22:23.741
- Years i had learned to never need a father.
- 00:22:23.741 --> 00:22:27.945
- >> but you did need a father or you just told yourself told
- 00:22:27.945 --> 00:22:30.648
- Myself i didn't need one because it was safer and
- 00:22:30.648 --> 00:22:34.418
- Easier to manage life emotionally, relationally and i
- 00:22:34.418 --> 00:22:38.122
- Would just figure it out. and suppressing that became a
- 00:22:38.122 --> 00:22:44.862
- Part of how i live my life is that irrelevant to me?
- 00:22:44.862 --> 00:22:49.100
- And i never much asked my mom growing periodically here and
- 00:22:49.100 --> 00:22:53.004
- There but i really didn't ask a lot of questions in those early
- 00:22:53.004 --> 00:22:56.841
- Years because i didn't have anybody to call so i didn't
- 00:22:56.841 --> 00:23:00.478
- Need him.
- 00:23:00.478 --> 00:23:01.579
- >> did you get some aggression anger out on the football
- 00:23:01.679 --> 00:23:05.249
- Field?
- 00:23:05.249 --> 00:23:06.384
- >> it was a great place to be aggressive, not be arrested.
- 00:23:06.484 --> 00:23:08.486
- So i love being able to compete and football really was a great
- 00:23:08.486 --> 00:23:12.690
- Place to also surrogates. i had a chance to be around
- 00:23:12.690 --> 00:23:16.994
- Other men coach patella who's mentioned in the book my uncles
- 00:23:16.994 --> 00:23:23.834
- And the support my family gave me going to games it was just
- 00:23:23.834 --> 00:23:26.871
- Community that for the moments i was there made me feel like
- 00:23:26.871 --> 00:23:31.275
- I'm a part of something i
- 00:23:31.275 --> 00:23:41.886
- Matter i'm i'm seen because in those early days really did
- 00:23:41.986 --> 00:23:43.487
- Feel like i didn't fit in belong anywhere.
- 00:23:43.487 --> 00:23:44.722
- >> before your career in the nfl very good career super bowl
- 00:23:44.722 --> 00:23:46.190
- Win etc. you played at penn. yes.
- 00:23:46.190 --> 00:23:47.258
- Great football program. what was your life at penn
- 00:23:47.258 --> 00:23:50.428
- State?
- 00:23:50.428 --> 00:23:51.228
- >> what kind of life were you living?
- 00:23:51.328 --> 00:23:52.463
- You know, i think penn state was the tale of two lives.
- 00:23:52.463 --> 00:23:57.268
- When i first went to penn state just like a lot of other young
- 00:23:57.268 --> 00:24:00.971
- People, i had no sense of knowing who i was.
- 00:24:00.971 --> 00:24:04.975
- So i just wanted fit in every environment i was in and the
- 00:24:04.975 --> 00:24:12.149
- Idea of feeling like an orphan not knowing where you belong.
- 00:24:12.149 --> 00:24:15.920
- Just allow me be open to so many other things that maybe i
- 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:20.491
- Shouldn't have been open to in my mind i thought this was the
- 00:24:20.491 --> 00:24:23.327
- Way i was supposed to live. i know another way and as a
- 00:24:23.327 --> 00:24:27.164
- Result of that i found myself in a dark place.
- 00:24:27.164 --> 00:24:31.135
- I had to actually go see a psychologist psychiatrists
- 00:24:31.135 --> 00:24:34.605
- After my freshman year because i had a lot going on a lot of
- 00:24:34.605 --> 00:24:38.509
- Darkness and brokenness in me that couldn't figure out
- 00:24:38.509 --> 00:24:41.846
- Because i was the problem i was trying to solve.
- 00:24:41.846 --> 00:24:45.716
- And so after my sophomore year was when the gospel came to me
- 00:24:45.716 --> 00:24:53.557
- And it began to change everything.
- 00:24:53.557 --> 00:24:54.692
- >> i mean you had a dramatic encounter with god, right?
- 00:24:54.692 --> 00:24:58.262
- Yeah. is that in penn state the holy
- 00:24:58.262 --> 00:24:59.330
- Spirit? i mean tell us about.
- 00:24:59.330 --> 00:25:01.599
- After i said yes to jesus and found myself really wanting to
- 00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:05.336
- Live a new life. i was drafted by the pittsburgh
- 00:25:05.336 --> 00:25:09.640
- Steelers my senior year and we would go back my wife and i my
- 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.477
- Little daughter we would drive three and a half hours going
- 00:25:13.477 --> 00:25:16.947
- Back to penn state be a part of leadership training on saturday
- 00:25:16.947 --> 00:25:20.951
- Mornings with the pastor in, a weekend service there and then
- 00:25:20.951 --> 00:25:25.122
- Drive back. so just a part of the routine
- 00:25:25.122 --> 00:25:27.658
- Would do this one saturday morning when i was in the
- 00:25:27.658 --> 00:25:31.929
- Meeting we circled up and before i knew it i was on the
- 00:25:31.929 --> 00:25:36.367
- Ground in the fetal position ball in my eyes out like a baby
- 00:25:36.367 --> 00:25:40.704
- Wondering what are you doing. i'm asking myself questions as
- 00:25:40.704 --> 00:25:45.042
- I'm having moment not understanding why i was even
- 00:25:45.042 --> 00:25:49.113
- There. i felt the people in the room
- 00:25:49.113 --> 00:25:51.949
- Trying to figure out what to do with me and then i had to
- 00:25:51.949 --> 00:25:55.586
- Assist that the pastor came over and.
- 00:25:55.586 --> 00:25:58.255
- He just sit everything okay like he was trying to it out
- 00:25:58.255 --> 00:26:02.193
- Too and then like an explosion out of becomes i never had a
- 00:26:02.193 --> 00:26:07.031
- Father. i never had a father.
- 00:26:07.031 --> 00:26:10.935
- I never had a father and i'm like i didn't even know that
- 00:26:10.935 --> 00:26:15.539
- Was in there but little kid who decided to never need a father
- 00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:21.011
- Delayed the need but jesus showed me i can never deny it.
- 00:26:21.011 --> 00:26:24.415
- I actually did know i need to know who the father was who had
- 00:26:24.415 --> 00:26:32.389
- Become my father that day.
- 00:26:32.389 --> 00:26:36.460
- >> i mean you were visited by the holy spirit and so much
- 00:26:36.460 --> 00:26:38.295
- Came. so you have this encounter with
- 00:26:38.295 --> 00:26:40.397
- God go to the nfl.
- 00:26:40.397 --> 00:26:43.400
- >> how did your faith affect your career playing in the
- 00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.638
- National football league?
- 00:26:47.638 --> 00:26:48.906
- >> you know that's so much of this is that stuff that i could
- 00:26:48.906 --> 00:26:51.508
- Have ever thought of a plan for my rookie year.
- 00:26:51.508 --> 00:26:55.346
- Obviously we just come off a national championship.
- 00:26:55.346 --> 00:26:59.783
- It's a big deal to be drafted my rookie year the holy spirit
- 00:26:59.783 --> 00:27:03.053
- Speaks to me and he says prepare a life.
- 00:27:03.053 --> 00:27:06.891
- Live your life in christ not the nfl.
- 00:27:06.891 --> 00:27:11.195
- And for some reason i understood that in the nfl it's
- 00:27:11.195 --> 00:27:15.399
- A privileged position you have favor among fans and people in
- 00:27:15.399 --> 00:27:19.270
- The city especially if you win. and there was something about
- 00:27:19.270 --> 00:27:26.343
- What the holy spirit said that i understood don't live as if
- 00:27:26.343 --> 00:27:29.947
- The nfl is going to be my life live in the confidence that
- 00:27:29.947 --> 00:27:34.351
- Christ he is my life because he's the one that showed me
- 00:27:34.351 --> 00:27:41.225
- That i belong to the father, not to the nfl.
- 00:27:41.225 --> 00:27:44.862
- >> yeah, if your identity was not to be in nfl even with a
- 00:27:44.862 --> 00:27:48.432
- Super bowl ring. yes.
- 00:27:48.432 --> 00:27:49.566
- And all these things he had a good career three teams.
- 00:27:49.566 --> 00:27:51.869
- >> three teams. yes.
- 00:27:51.869 --> 00:27:52.703
- Yes. the steelers, then redskins and
- 00:27:52.703 --> 00:27:55.172
- The bengals and then god tells you that's enough.
- 00:27:55.172 --> 00:27:59.476
- >> it's time for something new. yes i was planning to go to law
- 00:27:59.476 --> 00:28:03.747
- School and when i was looking at law schools i looked at
- 00:28:03.747 --> 00:28:08.052
- Regent university is one of them and so i had an ambition
- 00:28:08.052 --> 00:28:12.022
- To be involved in the legal community because so much of
- 00:28:12.022 --> 00:28:15.993
- What hinges communities to let people in a lock them out was
- 00:28:15.993 --> 00:28:20.230
- The courts. so i wanted to be involved but
- 00:28:20.230 --> 00:28:23.233
- They say if you want to make god laugh show him your plans
- 00:28:23.233 --> 00:28:26.637
- And he called wife in a completely in a different
- 00:28:26.637 --> 00:28:30.941
- Direction to go pastor in nashville so pastoring was
- 00:28:30.941 --> 00:28:34.378
- Never really on your agenda so to speak.
- 00:28:34.378 --> 00:28:38.182
- Oh no no my wife said not even in nashville.
- 00:28:38.182 --> 00:28:41.352
- No, she says i tricked her. i think the father tricked me.
- 00:28:41.352 --> 00:28:42.953
- I was trying to figure out how to actually do something that i
- 00:28:42.953 --> 00:28:46.523
- Felt would make an impact in communities and cities in a
- 00:28:46.523 --> 00:28:50.160
- Practical way through a 5a1c3 foundation work service civic
- 00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:56.333
- Work. but he had a whole nother plan
- 00:28:56.333 --> 00:29:00.237
- . .
- 00:29:00.237 --> 00:29:01.472
- So as you've pastored, have you been able to talk to the people
- 00:29:01.572 --> 00:29:02.706
- In your church, the church community around the country
- 00:29:02.706 --> 00:29:04.341
- About father god right.
- 00:29:04.341 --> 00:29:07.611
- >> what do you teach them about our identity as sons and
- 00:29:07.611 --> 00:29:09.146
- Daughters of god? well, the subtitle for this
- 00:29:09.146 --> 00:29:11.682
- Book really is the message. it's understand who we are when
- 00:29:11.682 --> 00:29:15.819
- We know who the father is because.
- 00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:19.289
- Most people look at god and judge relationship with him
- 00:29:19.289 --> 00:29:23.694
- Based on the impact of their earthly.
- 00:29:23.694 --> 00:29:27.798
- >> so some have had great relationships with their
- 00:29:27.798 --> 00:29:30.401
- Earthly fathers, some have had not great relationships and
- 00:29:30.401 --> 00:29:34.571
- Some have had absent relationship.
- 00:29:34.571 --> 00:29:38.442
- >> so regardless of the levels of impact you've it affects how
- 00:29:38.442 --> 00:29:42.780
- You see god as father. so i believe regardless of your
- 00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:49.520
- Your relationship there's a freedom we have in knowing and
- 00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:54.024
- Having a relationship with the heavenly father that we can get
- 00:29:54.024 --> 00:29:58.262
- From no earthly figure.
- 00:29:58.262 --> 00:29:59.496
- >> i want to say before we wrap it up in the last third of your
- 00:29:59.596 --> 00:30:02.866
- Book is really about how you and your church serve and serve
- 00:30:02.866 --> 00:30:05.002
- And serve people. i mean you even walked across
- 00:30:05.002 --> 00:30:08.806
- Right with the gospel message.
- 00:30:08.806 --> 00:30:10.040
- >> i mean i did step after step and encountered some amazing
- 00:30:10.040 --> 00:30:14.044
- People along the way.
- 00:30:14.044 --> 00:30:14.878
- >> yeah. 698 miles from pensacola to
- 00:30:14.878 --> 00:30:17.347
- South beach, 11 weeks of my life and it was on a word that
- 00:30:17.347 --> 00:30:21.251
- The holy spirit said walk intercede for this state to,
- 00:30:21.251 --> 00:30:27.891
- See redemption and communities all over.
- 00:30:27.891 --> 00:30:29.126
- >> did ever say god, is this really from you or is this just
- 00:30:29.126 --> 00:30:32.429
- Something i you know, always always so i go to my family to
- 00:30:32.429 --> 00:30:35.933
- Test whether what i'm hearing in these extreme cases you
- 00:30:35.933 --> 00:30:39.903
- Know, maybe hoping they would say no that's true, andrew but
- 00:30:39.903 --> 00:30:43.340
- They said let's do it.
- 00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:44.441
- >> they let's do it. in fact started planning it and
- 00:30:44.441 --> 00:30:48.112
- Thinking of ways that could happen and i'm sitting in my
- 00:30:48.112 --> 00:30:50.848
- Seat like this can't be happening i've never done

- 00:41:38.444 --> 00:41:42.348
- I brought my 13 year old daughter and she loved it.
- 00:41:42.348 --> 00:41:46.085
- I would also love to see my friends from school watch this
- 00:41:46.085 --> 00:41:50.323
- And just be inspired. well i think should see this
- 00:41:50.323 --> 00:41:54.327
- Movie investigating the supernatural miracles.
- 00:41:54.327 --> 00:41:57.296
- Yours for a gift of any dollar amount go to cbs tor.com slash
- 00:41:57.296 --> 00:42:01.901
- Supernatural olivia was born with no sense taste or smell.
- 00:42:01.901 --> 00:42:03.000
- Supernatural olivia was born with no sense taste or smell.
- 00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:09.471
- As a teenager she'd never known anything else until one day
- 00:42:09.471 --> 00:42:13.508
- When she was healed in an instant at first sight.
- 00:42:13.508 --> 00:42:20.449
- One would think that olivia heringer is just your normal
- 00:42:20.449 --> 00:42:23.218
- Teen who loves her dog. but there's an exception c for
- 00:42:23.218 --> 00:42:27.622
- Most of her life she hasn't been able to smell or taste
- 00:42:27.622 --> 00:42:31.259
- Anything. i didn't really realize that i
- 00:42:31.259 --> 00:42:32.427
- Couldn't smell or taste just because that was just how
- 00:42:32.427 --> 00:42:36.465
- Things were for me. people always say oh wow, this
- 00:42:36.465 --> 00:42:39.234
- Smells so good or this smells really bad.
- 00:42:39.234 --> 00:42:42.637
- I just want to know what that was like.
- 00:42:42.637 --> 00:42:43.972
- Olivia also had asthma. her parents will and aly were
- 00:42:43.972 --> 00:42:47.743
- So on managing those symptoms and no idea their daughter
- 00:42:47.743 --> 00:42:51.713
- Could not smell taste until she was about five.
- 00:42:51.713 --> 00:42:55.283
- >> we would start talking. can you smell that?
- 00:42:55.283 --> 00:42:59.554
- Can you taste that? she's like, i don't know.
- 00:42:59.554 --> 00:43:03.058
- It's strong but i don't smell anything when you've never
- 00:43:03.058 --> 00:43:04.459
- Smelled anything you don't know you're not smelling anything.
- 00:43:04.459 --> 00:43:06.661
- And we didn't realize at first how much she didn't taste and
- 00:43:06.661 --> 00:43:10.732
- So all she would eat was mac and cheese.
- 00:43:10.732 --> 00:43:11.967
- I just really liked the texture and that was kind of my only
- 00:43:11.967 --> 00:43:15.303
- Critique about.
- 00:43:15.303 --> 00:43:17.739
- >> food was texture. just give my mac and cheese.
- 00:43:17.739 --> 00:43:20.742
- >> then one of the several specialists they had gone to
- 00:43:20.742 --> 00:43:22.244
- Discover olivia's olfactory nerve was not connected to her
- 00:43:22.244 --> 00:43:25.614
- Brain. there was nothing the doctors
- 00:43:25.614 --> 00:43:28.550
- Could do to fix it but the family focused their prayers
- 00:43:28.550 --> 00:43:32.154
- Elsewhere and you realize wow she can't smell or taste.
- 00:43:32.154 --> 00:43:36.458
- But i was not praying for healing for that still praying
- 00:43:36.458 --> 00:43:40.162
- For the healing of her asthma and thinking i know god can
- 00:43:40.162 --> 00:43:43.565
- Heal this because i've seen it in my own life and i know that
- 00:43:43.565 --> 00:43:45.100
- He will heal it.
- 00:43:45.100 --> 00:43:47.102
- >> that's because aly was healed of a terrible migraines
- 00:43:47.102 --> 00:43:50.806
- 2004. through a word of knowledge
- 00:43:50.806 --> 00:43:52.040
- While watching the 700 club god is healing that headache now
- 00:43:52.040 --> 00:43:56.978
- Being lifted off of you now in the name of jesus it's not ever
- 00:43:56.978 --> 00:43:58.814
- Going to come back.
- 00:43:58.814 --> 00:44:01.249
- >> olivia knew this which made her believe all the more she
- 00:44:01.249 --> 00:44:05.087
- Could be healed too.
- 00:44:05.087 --> 00:44:06.288
- >> when i was younger i would look up the segment that she
- 00:44:06.288 --> 00:44:08.890
- Was in to watch it because i just thought it was so
- 00:44:08.890 --> 00:44:12.828
- Interesting and so astonishing that god can do that.
- 00:44:12.828 --> 00:44:16.064
- >> although asthma and olfactory issues kept olivia
- 00:44:16.064 --> 00:44:18.967
- Playing certain sports, they didn't keep her from being
- 00:44:18.967 --> 00:44:20.335
- Extraordinary.
- 00:44:20.335 --> 00:44:23.271
- >> olivia has always been using those things to push her
- 00:44:23.271 --> 00:44:27.609
- Forward and to to push her to do other things specifically
- 00:44:27.609 --> 00:44:31.313
- Riding god has really gifted her with a true gift.
- 00:44:31.313 --> 00:44:35.317
- I guess i was just really sympathetic for like other
- 00:44:35.317 --> 00:44:39.121
- People's struggles and i wanted to convey those feelings in
- 00:44:39.121 --> 00:44:40.555
- Fiction. so i started writing stories
- 00:44:40.555 --> 00:44:44.092
- And i really loved it.
- 00:44:44.092 --> 00:44:46.461
- >> the years went by more mac and cheese was consumed and
- 00:44:46.461 --> 00:44:50.499
- Then in 2017, the day after thanksgiving will and aly were
- 00:44:50.499 --> 00:44:55.537
- Watching the 700 club as they did so many times before it was
- 00:44:55.537 --> 00:44:58.940
- The thanksgiving day show. and i had recorded it and was
- 00:44:58.940 --> 00:45:03.478
- Watching it and all of a sudden terry said well somebody's
- 00:45:03.478 --> 00:45:07.983
- Olfactory nerve is being healed.
- 00:45:07.983 --> 00:45:10.252
- >> someone else i don't understand this but you have
- 00:45:10.252 --> 00:45:13.455
- Some kind of an old factory nerve damage you can't smell so
- 00:45:13.455 --> 00:45:17.659
- You can't taste your food well but god is restoring that joy
- 00:45:17.659 --> 00:45:20.996
- To you again just to receive it in jesus.
- 00:45:20.996 --> 00:45:24.900
- >> oh. oh.
- 00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:25.901
- And i was like oh my god, this that's amazing.
- 00:45:25.901 --> 00:45:29.404
- >> so i called olivia and said hey olivia camera for second.
- 00:45:29.404 --> 00:45:33.074
- And she came in and guess what? i said, watch this.
- 00:45:33.074 --> 00:45:34.476
- And so watched it again and she goes, huh?
- 00:45:34.476 --> 00:45:37.579
- And they just walked out, didn't say anything.
- 00:45:37.579 --> 00:45:40.916
- Nothing happened. and i was leaving.
- 00:45:40.916 --> 00:45:44.152
- I was like, what if that was for me?
- 00:45:44.152 --> 00:45:45.253
- What if that wasn't just for some other person?
- 00:45:45.253 --> 00:45:47.989
- And so my dog happened to be right there and i remembered my
- 00:45:47.989 --> 00:45:49.691
- Mom always complaining about his stench and so i smell to
- 00:45:49.691 --> 00:45:52.961
- Him and i was like, oh yeah, he sticks and it kind of hit me oh
- 00:45:52.961 --> 00:45:56.031
- Wait, i can smell with newfound senses.
- 00:45:56.031 --> 00:45:59.401
- Olivia went on to explore the wonder of smell and taste.
- 00:45:59.401 --> 00:46:03.538
- >> i would smell a lot of things and i ate a lot of
- 00:46:03.538 --> 00:46:06.608
- Leftovers from the day before and found that the food i had
- 00:46:06.608 --> 00:46:10.011
- Liked just the day before that i actually really enjoyed the
- 00:46:10.011 --> 00:46:13.548
- We were just so excited. i mean it was just a super
- 00:46:13.548 --> 00:46:15.350
- Joyous and the lord just really reminded me how thankful need
- 00:46:15.350 --> 00:46:21.256
- To be in every instance of our lives.
- 00:46:21.256 --> 00:46:22.524
- He sighs and he saw something didn't even think needed healed
- 00:46:22.524 --> 00:46:26.394
- And healed it. since then a new medication
- 00:46:26.394 --> 00:46:29.331
- Came out that successfully treated olivia type of asthma
- 00:46:29.331 --> 00:46:33.268
- And with a grateful heart. olivia expresses joy of one who
- 00:46:33.268 --> 00:46:37.372
- Has truly tasted and seen that god is good.
- 00:46:37.372 --> 00:46:40.542
- >> after the healing she just had a confidence and she had a
- 00:46:40.542 --> 00:46:44.579
- Confidence in the lord and confidence in what he had done
- 00:46:44.579 --> 00:46:46.014
- For her and confidence sharing things with her friends and a
- 00:46:46.014 --> 00:46:48.984
- Lighter countenance. just experiencing that for
- 00:46:48.984 --> 00:46:52.954
- Myself. it really just strengthened
- 00:46:52.954 --> 00:46:56.591
- What i know about jesus healing that he really does and that he
- 00:46:56.591 --> 00:47:00.895
- Can really do it for anyone. you know, one of the things i
- 00:47:00.895 --> 00:47:06.601
- Love about stories like this is how very specifically god shows
- 00:47:06.601 --> 00:47:11.239
- Us how much he loves us.
- 00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:12.440
- >> i've always been taken with the fact that, you know, god
- 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.477
- Didn't just make beautiful world.
- 00:47:15.477 --> 00:47:18.780
- He gave us eyes to see the beautiful world.
- 00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:19.981
- He didn't just make food to have taste he gave us taste
- 00:47:19.981 --> 00:47:23.551
- Buds to be able enjoy and he wants us to love all that he's
- 00:47:23.551 --> 00:47:30.458
- Created and made available to us and so he invites us come to
- 00:47:30.458 --> 00:47:33.595
- Him when something is needy, when something's not he invites
- 00:47:33.595 --> 00:47:37.599
- Us to ask him. you have not because you ask
- 00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:42.203
- Not just what the words says. so we want to ask with you
- 00:47:42.203 --> 00:47:45.640
- Today i don't know what your need is.
- 00:47:45.640 --> 00:47:46.775
- I don't know what you're experiencing but i know god is
- 00:47:46.775 --> 00:47:49.944
- Real and loves you and is ready and willing to do something
- 00:47:49.944 --> 00:47:53.481
- About the concerns of your heart, of your life.
- 00:47:53.481 --> 00:47:57.118
- Sometimes they seem small to us.
- 00:47:57.118 --> 00:47:58.119
- We think well couldn't ask god about that.
- 00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.256
- He already knows about it. he's just you to acknowledge
- 00:48:01.256 --> 00:48:04.793
- That he is able to do something and will do something when we
- 00:48:04.793 --> 00:48:08.330
