  • >> 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

  • >> 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

  • Sponsor any religion on the other side, christian and state

  • 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

  • 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

  • >> 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.

  • 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

  • Today i don't know what your need is.

  • 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
