The 700 Club | January 24, 2025 | January 24, 2025
- This is a cbn closed captioning audio video test.
- 00:01:24.951 --> 00:00:01.415
- (upbeat music)
- 00:00:01.982 --> 00:00:03.517
- - [announcer] the following program is sponsored by cbn.
- 00:00:03.517 --> 00:00:06.320
- - [gordon] coming up.
- 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:07.754
- - [drew] i heard some noise in the living room.
- 00:00:07.754 --> 00:00:09.723
- - [narrator] a home invasion.
- 00:00:09.723 --> 00:00:11.125
- - there's somebody in my living room.
- 00:00:11.125 --> 00:00:13.427
- - [gordon] this man goes chasing a robber.
- 00:00:13.427 --> 00:00:16.196
- - i move him out of the way pretty easily.
- 00:00:16.196 --> 00:00:17.831
- - [gordon] and runs straight into two more.
- 00:00:17.831 --> 00:00:20.634
- - and the last noise that i remember hearing
- 00:00:20.634 --> 00:00:22.736
- Was the gunshot go off.
- 00:00:22.736 --> 00:00:24.004
- (loud gunshot)
- 00:00:24.004 --> 00:00:25.506
- - [gordon] then he takes a bullet in the face.
- 00:00:25.506 --> 00:00:28.075
- - [drew] you should not be alive.
- 00:00:28.075 --> 00:00:29.643
- - [gordon] his story on today's 700 club.
- 00:00:29.643 --> 00:00:33.981
- (upbeat inspiring music)
- 00:00:34.648 --> 00:00:36.450
- Well welcome to the 700 club.
- 00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:38.218
- Countries can rise or fall on a piece of technology
- 00:00:38.218 --> 00:00:41.822
- That fits on the tip of your finger.
- 00:00:41.822 --> 00:00:44.391
- Semiconductors are critical
- 00:00:44.391 --> 00:00:46.226
- For everything from weapon systems to microwaves.
- 00:00:46.226 --> 00:00:49.830
- Currently the world's biggest manufacturer
- 00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:52.733
- Of these chips is taiwan,
- 00:00:52.733 --> 00:00:55.035
- Although china is set on taking over global production.
- 00:00:55.035 --> 00:00:59.406
- As brody carter reports,
- 00:00:59.406 --> 00:01:01.241
- That could mean a chip war in the making.
- 00:01:01.241 --> 00:01:04.711
- - the key to dominating international technology
- 00:01:05.846 --> 00:01:08.982
- And computing power rests in semiconductor chips.
- 00:01:08.982 --> 00:01:12.319
- Basically, the brains of modern electronics.
- 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.755
- And you might be surprised the united states
- 00:01:14.755 --> 00:01:16.723
- Isn't the world leader
- 00:01:16.723 --> 00:01:17.891
- In this multi-billion dollar industry.
- 00:01:17.891 --> 00:01:19.726
- It's not even second.
- 00:01:19.726 --> 00:01:21.295
- The us government's goal is simply to stay ahead of china.
- 00:01:21.295 --> 00:01:24.598
- - when we look at the world's most advanced chips,
- 00:01:24.598 --> 00:01:27.601
- Taiwan makes 92% of them.
- 00:01:27.601 --> 00:01:30.003
- Matter of fact, one company in taiwan makes 92%.
- 00:01:30.003 --> 00:01:33.340
- - [brody] the small island of taiwan
- 00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:34.808
- Clearly dominates the world's semiconductor market.
- 00:01:34.808 --> 00:01:37.778
- That single manufacturer chang refers to is tsmc,
- 00:01:37.778 --> 00:01:41.548
- Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company
- 00:01:41.548 --> 00:01:44.218
- And apple is its biggest customer.
- 00:01:44.218 --> 00:01:46.520
- - so if it were knocked offline,
- 00:01:46.520 --> 00:01:48.622
- We'd face a huge economic crisis
- 00:01:48.622 --> 00:01:51.091
- Because our inability to get the chips we need.
- 00:01:51.091 --> 00:01:53.627
- - [brody] tufts university professor chris miller,
- 00:01:53.627 --> 00:01:55.862
- Is the author of "chip war: the fight for the world's
- 00:01:55.862 --> 00:01:58.232
- Most critical technology.
- 00:01:58.232 --> 00:02:00.033
- He says the taiwanese company's dominance in semiconductors
- 00:02:00.033 --> 00:02:03.003
- Makes opec 40% share of world oil production
- 00:02:03.003 --> 00:02:06.139
- Pale by comparison.
- 00:02:06.139 --> 00:02:07.708
- - today china spends as much money importing semiconductors
- 00:02:07.708 --> 00:02:12.346
- As it spends importing oil
- 00:02:12.346 --> 00:02:14.448
- And it buys those ship in large part from us firms
- 00:02:14.448 --> 00:02:17.751
- That make great business selling to china.
- 00:02:17.751 --> 00:02:20.587
- - [brody] the chip industry is made possible
- 00:02:20.587 --> 00:02:22.155
- By a symbiotic relationship among key countries
- 00:02:22.155 --> 00:02:25.025
- That forms a very complex supply chain.
- 00:02:25.025 --> 00:02:27.461
- America, the world's largest market,
- 00:02:27.461 --> 00:02:29.763
- Also makes up 40% of the total value
- 00:02:29.763 --> 00:02:32.399
- Of this international supply machine.
- 00:02:32.399 --> 00:02:34.768
- - today, if you wanna make an advanced chip,
- 00:02:34.768 --> 00:02:36.470
- The most cutting edge chips that you'd find
- 00:02:36.470 --> 00:02:39.172
- In a smartphone or data center,
- 00:02:39.172 --> 00:02:40.374
- It's simply impossible to do without
- 00:02:40.374 --> 00:02:42.109
- Using software from the us,
- 00:02:42.109 --> 00:02:44.144
- Machine tools from the netherlands,
- 00:02:44.144 --> 00:02:47.147
- The us and japan ultra purified chemicals from japan,
- 00:02:47.147 --> 00:02:51.685
- As well as manufacturing capabilities in taiwan.
- 00:02:51.685 --> 00:02:54.021
- It's an international process.
- 00:02:54.021 --> 00:02:55.522
- - [brody] just a few years ago,
- 00:02:55.522 --> 00:02:57.057
- China's tech giant huawei was tsmcs number two customer.
- 00:02:57.057 --> 00:03:01.495
- Then the trump administration tightened restrictions
- 00:03:01.495 --> 00:03:04.064
- Preventing huawei from getting chips developed by the us
- 00:03:04.064 --> 00:03:07.367
- Due to espionage and national security concerns.
- 00:03:07.367 --> 00:03:10.437
- - huawei is something that's very dangerous.
- 00:03:10.437 --> 00:03:13.006
- You look at what they've done from a security standpoint,
- 00:03:13.006 --> 00:03:15.642
- From a military standpoint, it's very dangerous.
- 00:03:15.642 --> 00:03:17.811
- - if taiwan were taken over
- 00:03:17.811 --> 00:03:20.147
- Or even if the taiwan wasn't taken over,
- 00:03:20.147 --> 00:03:21.915
- But there was a war on the taiwan strait
- 00:03:21.915 --> 00:03:24.985
- That taiwan repelled,
- 00:03:24.985 --> 00:03:26.486
- Even still, the shock that semiconductor supply chains
- 00:03:26.486 --> 00:03:29.656
- Would cause a deep depression
- 00:03:29.656 --> 00:03:31.491
- In manufacturing industries worldwide.
- 00:03:32.526 --> 00:03:34.027
- And the reason is that today all types
- 00:03:34.027 --> 00:03:37.664
- Of goods require semiconductors.
- 00:03:37.664 --> 00:03:39.132
- It's not just smartphones or pcs,
- 00:03:39.132 --> 00:03:40.867
- Sort of high tech goods that you might think of.
- 00:03:40.867 --> 00:03:42.969
- It's your car which might have
- 00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:45.138
- Hundreds of semiconductors inside,
- 00:03:45.138 --> 00:03:47.040
- Your coffee maker, your microwave,
- 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:49.876
- Almost anything with an on/off switch today
- 00:03:49.876 --> 00:03:52.112
- Has semiconductors inside of it.
- 00:03:52.112 --> 00:03:54.314
- - [brody] more importantly, miller told cbn news
- 00:03:54.314 --> 00:03:56.383
- Microchips has revolutionized american warfare.
- 00:03:56.383 --> 00:03:59.519
- Semiconductors made in taiwan are used in f35 fighter jets
- 00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:03.757
- And a wide range of us military grade weapons
- 00:04:03.757 --> 00:04:06.460
- And defense systems.
- 00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:07.894
- Since the world's entire tech ecosystem can't function
- 00:04:07.894 --> 00:04:11.031
- Without these chips, that makes the sovereign island
- 00:04:11.031 --> 00:04:13.734
- Ground zero for a chip war between the us and china.
- 00:04:13.734 --> 00:04:17.471
- - and that means that the world's made
- 00:04:17.471 --> 00:04:19.439
- To order chips are made on china's doorstep.
- 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.443
- Both south korea and taiwan are vulnerable
- 00:04:23.443 --> 00:04:26.513
- And it is not inconceivable
- 00:04:26.513 --> 00:04:28.115
- That china could take over both of them.
- 00:04:28.115 --> 00:04:30.016
- - [brody] that's what makes the communist governments
- 00:04:30.016 --> 00:04:31.618
- Made in china 2025 plan
- 00:04:31.618 --> 00:04:33.787
- To make the country dominant
- 00:04:33.787 --> 00:04:35.188
- In global high-tech manufacturing,
- 00:04:35.188 --> 00:04:37.357
- A true threat to the us,
- 00:04:37.357 --> 00:04:39.025
- Both economically and militarily.
- 00:04:39.025 --> 00:04:41.695
- - as china's become stronger, it's become more belligerent,
- 00:04:41.695 --> 00:04:44.598
- More provocative, more aggressive.
- 00:04:44.598 --> 00:04:46.967
- This is perhaps the greatest mistake america
- 00:04:46.967 --> 00:04:49.536
- Has made throughout its history
- 00:04:49.536 --> 00:04:51.438
- And it's a mistake that we may not survive.
- 00:04:51.438 --> 00:04:54.007
- - [brody] it's one reason the us followed suit
- 00:04:54.007 --> 00:04:55.976
- With the chips act pouring out billions
- 00:04:55.976 --> 00:04:58.245
- To bring chip manufacturing and research back to the us.
- 00:04:58.245 --> 00:05:01.848
- - if you wanna build a cutting edge chip making facility,
- 00:05:01.848 --> 00:05:04.785
- It'll cost 20 or $25 billion for just one plant.
- 00:05:04.785 --> 00:05:08.722
- These are the most expensive factories in human history.
- 00:05:08.722 --> 00:05:12.726
- - [brody] tsmc has committed at least 12 billion
- 00:05:12.726 --> 00:05:15.128
- To build a chip fabrication plant in arizona.
- 00:05:15.128 --> 00:05:17.564
- Still, neither china nor the us can overtake taiwan
- 00:05:17.564 --> 00:05:20.600
- And achieve self-sufficiency anytime soon.
- 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.303
- - we should care about where they're made
- 00:05:23.303 --> 00:05:24.571
- Because we need them to drive our economy
- 00:05:24.571 --> 00:05:27.240
- And it is the case increasingly that things
- 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.944
- That are further away,
- 00:05:30.944 --> 00:05:32.479
- Things that are at the hands of geopolitical adversaries,
- 00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:34.347
- May not be attainable at all
- 00:05:34.347 --> 00:05:36.349
- Times and that provides, you know,
- 00:05:36.349 --> 00:05:38.218
- A concern of vulnerability for us.
- 00:05:38.218 --> 00:05:39.853
- It also provides our adversaries,
- 00:05:39.853 --> 00:05:41.988
- A strength that they can use.
- 00:05:41.988 --> 00:05:43.590
- - [brody] while taiwan has maintained its sovereignty
- 00:05:43.590 --> 00:05:45.492
- For more than 70 years,
- 00:05:45.492 --> 00:05:47.060
- China still considers the island nation its property
- 00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:49.763
- And regularly provokes it militarily.
- 00:05:49.763 --> 00:05:52.265
- Given china's authoritarian use
- 00:05:52.265 --> 00:05:53.900
- Of technology against its own people
- 00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.969
- And the potential power of semiconductors,
- 00:05:55.969 --> 00:05:58.338
- Who controls the world's technology
- 00:05:58.338 --> 00:06:00.307
- And data is paramount.
- 00:06:00.307 --> 00:06:02.275
- This evolving technology makes semiconductors even more
- 00:06:02.275 --> 00:06:05.212
- Of a national security concern,
- 00:06:05.212 --> 00:06:07.013
- Especially with progress and artificial intelligence
- 00:06:07.013 --> 00:06:09.716
- And quantum computing.
- 00:06:09.716 --> 00:06:11.351
- The chip war is well underway
- 00:06:11.351 --> 00:06:12.786
- And exactly how hostile this war becomes,
- 00:06:12.786 --> 00:06:15.589
- Remains to be seen.
- 00:06:15.589 --> 00:06:17.023
- Brody, carter, cbn news,
- 00:06:17.023 --> 00:06:19.759
- - well any kind of strength/weakness analysis,
- 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.263
- You always look at single points of failure.
- 00:06:23.263 --> 00:06:26.399
- If taiwan semiconductor would fail,
- 00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:29.736
- You literally wipe out 90% of the world's production.
- 00:06:29.736 --> 00:06:33.974
- That's why it's important for us to stand for taiwan
- 00:06:33.974 --> 00:06:37.110
- And to stand for taiwan's independence.
- 00:06:37.110 --> 00:06:40.213
- Literally everything that we use
- 00:06:40.213 --> 00:06:42.215
- To run the world is dependent on that one company.
- 00:06:42.215 --> 00:06:46.286
- We'll be back with more of the 700 club right after this.
- 00:06:46.286 --> 00:06:50.290
- (upbeat music)
- 00:06:50.290 --> 00:06:52.759
- (soft music)
- 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.094
- - [narrator] wanna be a part of a community
- 00:06:54.094 --> 00:06:55.629
- That inspires your spiritual growth while winning prizes?
- 00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:57.797
- The all new mycbn app.
- 00:06:57.797 --> 00:06:59.866
- Connect with the community for prayer and encouragement.
- 00:06:59.866 --> 00:07:02.736
- Track and set spiritual goals.
- 00:07:02.736 --> 00:07:04.771
- Enjoy conversation starters
- 00:07:04.771 --> 00:07:06.339
- With friends and family and collect points to win prizes.
- 00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:09.876
- The all new mycbn app, a great place to belong.
- 00:07:09.876 --> 00:07:13.246
- Download the app at cbn.com/mobile.
- 00:07:13.246 --> 00:07:16.149
- Grow, connect, have fun.
- 00:07:16.149 --> 00:07:18.652
- The all new mycbn app.
- 00:07:18.652 --> 00:07:21.721
- (soft music)
- 00:07:22.255 --> 00:07:23.657
- - i remember just walking through the wilderness
- 00:07:23.657 --> 00:07:24.824
- And just mesmerized by the nature.
- 00:07:24.824 --> 00:07:27.227
- The beauty, the silence.
- 00:07:27.227 --> 00:07:29.329
- But in the midst of that silence,
- 00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:31.298
- God began to reveal himself to me.
- 00:07:32.332 --> 00:07:36.403
- God showed me what i had become.
- 00:07:37.203 --> 00:07:38.572
- I just got up and i said, i need something greater than me.
- 00:07:39.973 --> 00:07:42.909
- When you've tried everything and nothing's worked,
- 00:07:44.210 --> 00:07:45.679
- Cry out to jesus.
- 00:07:45.679 --> 00:07:47.681
- (soft inspirational music)
- 00:07:48.448 --> 00:07:51.985
- - it was alarming how much i was vomiting.
- 00:07:51.985 --> 00:07:54.988
- - it was a condition called acute tubular necrosis.
- 00:07:54.988 --> 00:07:57.724
- - [speaker] they kept saying septic, septic.
- 00:07:57.724 --> 00:07:59.326
- I think she's getting septic.
- 00:07:59.326 --> 00:08:00.493
- - they sent this lady in to prepare us
- 00:08:00.493 --> 00:08:03.330
- For a lifetime of dialysis
- 00:08:03.330 --> 00:08:05.632
- And this medicine was going
- 00:08:05.632 --> 00:08:07.100
- To destroy every dream my girl could possibly have.
- 00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:09.436
- - thousands and thousands,
- 00:08:09.436 --> 00:08:10.971
- Literally around the world were praying for her.
- 00:08:10.971 --> 00:08:13.840
- Her mom runs out into the hallway
- 00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:15.375
- And she's like, he just told me he canceled your surgery.
- 00:08:15.375 --> 00:08:19.746
- He was like, your kidney biopsy came back completely clean.
- 00:08:21.147 --> 00:08:23.717
- I stood up on my hospital bed with my iv bag,
- 00:08:23.717 --> 00:08:26.286
- Just we were hugging and screaming.
- 00:08:26.286 --> 00:08:28.054
- It was like just the biggest celebration.
- 00:08:28.054 --> 00:08:30.624
- - i know there were a lot of people praying for her.
- 00:08:30.624 --> 00:08:32.826
- I think those prayers were answered.
- 00:08:32.826 --> 00:08:34.961
- - hi.
- 00:08:34.961 --> 00:08:36.062
- Yay,
- 00:08:36.062 --> 00:08:37.998
- - [speaker] you did it.
- 00:08:38.698 --> 00:08:39.566
- - i am beyond thankful
- 00:08:39.566 --> 00:08:41.301
- That i have been singing nonstop.
- 00:08:41.301 --> 00:08:43.336
- Prayers work.
- 00:08:43.336 --> 00:08:44.170
- They work.
- 00:08:44.170 --> 00:08:45.138
- Ask people to pray for you
- 00:08:45.138 --> 00:08:46.506
- And like really believe,
- 00:08:46.506 --> 00:08:48.041
- Really believe that anything is possible.
- 00:08:48.041 --> 00:08:51.611
- (soft music)
- 00:08:52.178 --> 00:08:53.013
- - [narrator] life.
- 00:08:53.013 --> 00:08:54.481
- It's meant to be lived fully.
- 00:08:54.481 --> 00:08:58.051
- Jesus said it, "i came to give you life."
- 00:08:59.219 --> 00:09:02.689
- Life to the fullest.
- 00:09:03.356 --> 00:09:05.925
- Life in your family life.
- 00:09:06.693 --> 00:09:09.029
- Life in your finances,
- 00:09:09.729 --> 00:09:11.965
- Life in your body, mind, and spirit.
- 00:09:13.033 --> 00:09:17.637
- Life in your everyday.
- 00:09:18.338 --> 00:09:24.244

- Live it fully.

- Cbn.com.
- 00:09:44.798 --> 00:09:48.835
- (soft inspirational music)
- 00:09:49.636 --> 00:09:52.439
- (soft music)
- 00:09:52.439 --> 00:09:53.440
- - i was muslim for four years.
- 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.376
- I had spells cast on me
- 00:09:56.376 --> 00:09:57.744
- And just everything you can think of.
- 00:09:58.878 --> 00:10:00.380
- I never got what i was looking for.
- 00:10:00.380 --> 00:10:03.183
- There was no real power to change my life.
- 00:10:03.183 --> 00:10:06.953
- I had tried everything.
- 00:10:06.953 --> 00:10:08.655
- It was just came to a point
- 00:10:08.655 --> 00:10:10.190
- Where it was like, you know what?
- 00:10:10.190 --> 00:10:11.658
- I don't want to do this anymore.
- 00:10:11.658 --> 00:10:13.426
- The little old lady at the church, she'd come and get me.
- 00:10:13.426 --> 00:10:16.830
- She prayed for me and all i know
- 00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:19.432
- Is i felt the love of god.
- 00:10:19.432 --> 00:10:22.335
- We would read from genesis to revelation
- 00:10:22.335 --> 00:10:24.771
- And we just went deep in the word of god.
- 00:10:24.771 --> 00:10:27.707
- Everything about me, even my very countenance
- 00:10:27.707 --> 00:10:30.410
- Begin to change after that point.
- 00:10:30.410 --> 00:10:33.446
- And now i just have a desire
- 00:10:33.446 --> 00:10:35.415
- To see them experience the loving kindness of god
- 00:10:36.683 --> 00:10:40.120
- That i have experienced.
- 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:41.855
- To see that true change is possible
- 00:10:41.855 --> 00:10:44.657
- And that what you thought that you were looking
- 00:10:44.657 --> 00:10:46.693
- For can only be found in christ.
- 00:10:46.693 --> 00:10:50.029
- (soft inspirational music)
- 00:10:50.830 --> 00:10:52.499
- - [narrator] stay connected with cbn news
- 00:10:52.499 --> 00:10:54.701
- All day across our platforms.
- 00:10:54.701 --> 00:10:57.804
- - mommy wine culture.
- 00:10:58.538 --> 00:11:00.173
- Well that's a catchphrase
- 00:11:00.173 --> 00:11:01.674
- Of a marketing campaign targeting young mothers.
- 00:11:01.674 --> 00:11:05.311
- It aims to convince them that they need alcohol to cope
- 00:11:05.311 --> 00:11:09.015
- With the pressures of raising children.
- 00:11:09.015 --> 00:11:11.384
- Social media memes make it sound like it's harmless fun.
- 00:11:11.384 --> 00:11:15.021
- Our cbn medical reporter, lorie johnson,
- 00:11:15.021 --> 00:11:17.457
- Shows us why it's deadly serious.
- 00:11:17.457 --> 00:11:22.061
- - wine gets better with age.
- 00:11:22.862 --> 00:11:25.498
- I get better with wine.
- 00:11:25.498 --> 00:11:27.700
- Okay, guilty.
- 00:11:28.268 --> 00:11:29.202
- You girls know that's true.
- 00:11:29.202 --> 00:11:30.904
- - we do.
- 00:11:31.304 --> 00:11:32.739
- - [lorie] the troubling messages often try to be humorous
- 00:11:34.007 --> 00:11:37.377
- And appear on a number of products
- 00:11:37.377 --> 00:11:39.679
- From baby clothes with "mommy drinks because i cry,"
- 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.750
- "to wine glasses with mommy's sippy cup."
- 00:11:43.750 --> 00:11:47.187
- T-shirts reading, "coffee hockey mom, wine, repeat."
- 00:11:47.187 --> 00:11:51.324
- And even memes like the most expensive part
- 00:11:51.324 --> 00:11:54.127
- Of having kids is all the wine you have to drink.
- 00:11:54.127 --> 00:11:57.831
- - i think this messaging that is everywhere,
- 00:11:57.831 --> 00:12:01.935
- It normalizes
- 00:12:01.935 --> 00:12:04.137
- This behavior of drinking to survive parenthood
- 00:12:05.405 --> 00:12:07.340
- And it normalizes this idea
- 00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:09.542
- That like drinking a lot is no big deal.
- 00:12:09.542 --> 00:12:12.612
- - [lorie] as it turns out,
- 00:12:12.612 --> 00:12:13.847
- The messaging sadly reflects reality.
- 00:12:13.847 --> 00:12:17.350
- Kelly manley turned to alcohol to fit in with her peers
- 00:12:17.350 --> 00:12:21.054
- Who she observed drinking everywhere,
- 00:12:21.054 --> 00:12:23.590
- At kids' birthday parties, soccer practices, you name it.
- 00:12:23.590 --> 00:12:27.694
- - people would show up to the park with little, you know,
- 00:12:27.694 --> 00:12:30.730
- Discrete glasses of wine to have at, you know,
- 00:12:30.730 --> 00:12:33.266
- 4:00 pm on a play date at the park.
- 00:12:33.266 --> 00:12:35.468
- You know you go to the zoo
- 00:12:35.468 --> 00:12:37.904
- And for a small upcharge you can buy a flight of beer,
- 00:12:37.904 --> 00:12:41.040
- Not just a beer,
- 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:42.542
- But a flight of beer
- 00:12:42.542 --> 00:12:44.010
- To enjoy while you're pushing your kid around the zoo.
- 00:12:45.311 --> 00:12:46.846
- - [lorie] and like other events these days,
- 00:12:46.846 --> 00:12:49.015
- It's going digital.
- 00:12:49.015 --> 00:12:50.483
- Like the moms who need wine facebook group.
- 00:12:50.483 --> 00:12:53.853
- - alcohol has been sold as the ultimate way to decompress,
- 00:12:53.853 --> 00:12:58.725
- To cope and to bond with other women
- 00:12:58.725 --> 00:13:01.728
- And it's very dangerous.
- 00:13:02.462 --> 00:13:04.030
- - [lorie] the alcohol industry has certainly played a part.
- 00:13:04.030 --> 00:13:07.700
- Back in the nineties it ushered in this
- 00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:09.769
- So-called pinking of the market,
- 00:13:09.769 --> 00:13:12.272
- Making and advertising booze aimed specifically at women.
- 00:13:12.272 --> 00:13:17.343
- - drink these sweetened, pre-unsweetened, gorgeous,
- 00:13:18.578 --> 00:13:20.613
- Attractive pink drinks that will
- 00:13:21.414 --> 00:13:23.449
- End you into drinking spirits, drinking pretty wine,
- 00:13:24.784 --> 00:13:28.354
- Drinking wine with names like you know,
- 00:13:28.354 --> 00:13:32.158
- French rabbit.
- 00:13:32.725 --> 00:13:33.793
- - [lorie] and it worked.
- 00:13:33.793 --> 00:13:35.194
- While historically men consumed the most alcohol,
- 00:13:35.194 --> 00:13:39.098
- Women are now catching up.
- 00:13:39.098 --> 00:13:41.434
- In the last 15 years,
- 00:13:41.434 --> 00:13:43.069
- The greatest increase in consumption has been
- 00:13:43.069 --> 00:13:45.738
- Among women in their thirties and forties.
- 00:13:45.738 --> 00:13:48.374
- However, because of biological differences,
- 00:13:48.374 --> 00:13:50.843
- Women absorb more alcohol
- 00:13:50.843 --> 00:13:53.179
- And take longer to metabolize it than men.
- 00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:56.449
- That means the same amount
- 00:13:56.449 --> 00:13:57.884
- Of alcohol typically damages the female body
- 00:13:57.884 --> 00:14:01.254
- More than the man's.
- 00:14:01.254 --> 00:14:03.256
- After drinking the same amount of alcohol,
- 00:14:03.256 --> 00:14:06.025
- Women tend to have higher blood alcohol levels than men
- 00:14:06.025 --> 00:14:10.229
- And the effects usually occur more quickly
- 00:14:10.229 --> 00:14:12.966
- And last longer in women.
- 00:14:12.966 --> 00:14:15.468
- Alcohol also makes women more susceptible than men
- 00:14:15.468 --> 00:14:19.105
- To liver disease, heart disease,
- 00:14:19.105 --> 00:14:21.240
- Cancer and cognitive decline.
- 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.177
- Us health officials recommend women should drink no more
- 00:14:24.177 --> 00:14:27.880
- Than five ounces of wine a day.
- 00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:30.783
- Canadian health officials go further saying
- 00:14:30.783 --> 00:14:33.753
- Only two five ounce glasses per week.
- 00:14:33.753 --> 00:14:37.090
- - this is a women's health issue.
- 00:14:37.090 --> 00:14:39.392
- It's in fact a big public health issue.
- 00:14:39.392 --> 00:14:42.261
- - [lorie] and it's not just physical.
- 00:14:42.261 --> 00:14:43.930
- Alcohol affects mental health too,
- 00:14:43.930 --> 00:14:46.966
- Which is why kelly gave it up.
- 00:14:46.966 --> 00:14:49.302
- - it just exacerbated my feelings of anxiety
- 00:14:49.302 --> 00:14:52.839
- And depression and i felt like i was betraying myself
- 00:14:52.839 --> 00:14:57.910
- Every time i drank.
- 00:14:58.578 --> 00:14:59.579
- - [lorie] she's not alone.
- 00:14:59.579 --> 00:15:01.047
- More moms are rejecting mommy wine culture
- 00:15:01.047 --> 00:15:04.784
- And turning to groups like sober mom squad,
- 00:15:04.784 --> 00:15:08.087
- - having a safe space where you can talk
- 00:15:08.087 --> 00:15:09.756
- To other moms about, you know,
- 00:15:09.756 --> 00:15:11.424
- The questions you're having about alcohol
- 00:15:11.424 --> 00:15:13.192
- Or how difficult it is to navigate in this culture
- 00:15:13.192 --> 00:15:17.363
- Where everyone tells you you need to drink to be a parent
- 00:15:17.363 --> 00:15:20.566
- And not have to justify
- 00:15:20.566 --> 00:15:22.135
- That you should just be grateful to have kids.
- 00:15:22.135 --> 00:15:24.570
- - [lorie] many moms are also saying no
- 00:15:24.570 --> 00:15:27.040
- Because they're concerned about the culture's impact
- 00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:29.942
- On their child's self-esteem.
- 00:15:29.942 --> 00:15:32.378
- - most problematic part of it
- 00:15:32.378 --> 00:15:34.414
- Is what is it saying to your kids?
- 00:15:34.414 --> 00:15:37.283
- Again, if it's, you know, tongue in cheek jokes like
- 00:15:38.618 --> 00:15:41.154
- Between friends, that's one thing,
- 00:15:41.154 --> 00:15:42.688
- But when you're wearing the t-shirt
- 00:15:42.688 --> 00:15:44.390
- That said "mommy needs wine," you know,
- 00:15:44.390 --> 00:15:46.359
- Saying that you have to, you know,
- 00:15:46.359 --> 00:15:47.627
- I have to drink because you're difficult.
- 00:15:47.627 --> 00:15:50.196
- I think that leads into something that's even more damaging.
- 00:15:50.196 --> 00:15:54.333
- - [lorie] so while pop culture
- 00:15:54.333 --> 00:15:55.835
- And big alcohol try to convince new moms
- 00:15:55.835 --> 00:15:59.372
- Life is better with booze,
- 00:15:59.372 --> 00:16:01.607
- A growing number are rejecting that message
- 00:16:01.607 --> 00:16:04.777
- For the sake of their own health as well as their families.
- 00:16:04.777 --> 00:16:09.182
- Lorie johnson, cbn news,
- 00:16:09.182 --> 00:16:11.150
- - i wish being sober were somehow cool in our culture,
- 00:16:12.518 --> 00:16:16.055
- But unfortunately there's no industry behind sobriety.
- 00:16:16.055 --> 00:16:19.192
- There's plenty of industry behind the wine industry,
- 00:16:19.192 --> 00:16:23.096
- Behind the alcohol industry,
- 00:16:23.096 --> 00:16:25.364
- And all they're trying to do is encourage you
- 00:16:25.364 --> 00:16:27.200
- To drink more of their product.
- 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.335
- But here's the problem.
- 00:16:29.335 --> 00:16:30.970
- If you drink to solve your problems,
- 00:16:31.971 --> 00:16:35.308
- All you're doing is irrigating them
- 00:16:35.308 --> 00:16:37.643
- And you're making them worse.
- 00:16:37.643 --> 00:16:39.879
- Alcohol, medical science says, alcohol is a depressant.
- 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:44.851
- So if you're sad,
- 00:16:44.851 --> 00:16:46.953
- If you're overcome by what's going on in your life
- 00:16:46.953 --> 00:16:49.655
- And you add alcohol to the mix,
- 00:16:49.655 --> 00:16:51.791
- All you're doing is making it worse.
- 00:16:51.791 --> 00:16:54.894
- It's not helping you at all.
- 00:16:54.894 --> 00:16:57.130
- So if you see someone wearing that t-shirt,
- 00:16:57.130 --> 00:16:59.899
- If you see someone with that throw pillow,
- 00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:03.236
- It's a warning sign.
- 00:17:03.236 --> 00:17:04.537
- It's a wake up call for all the friends,
- 00:17:04.537 --> 00:17:07.240
- All the family around that individual, they need help.
- 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.877
- And wouldn't it be wonderful if the community came
- 00:17:10.877 --> 00:17:13.779
- Around mothers and said, how can we help you?
- 00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:17.250
- How can relieve your burden today?
- 00:17:17.250 --> 00:17:20.820
- Instead of that glass of wine,
- 00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:22.388
- How about having a spa day and i'll help you with the kids
- 00:17:22.388 --> 00:17:25.992
- And you go have a moment where you can decompress
- 00:17:25.992 --> 00:17:29.795
- And do so very healthily with health behind it,
- 00:17:29.795 --> 00:17:33.833
- Not with something that's going to make it worse, terry,
- 00:17:33.833 --> 00:17:38.171
- - well, up next, startled by a noise in his living room,
- 00:17:38.171 --> 00:17:41.541
- Then staring down the barrel of a .45,
- 00:17:41.541 --> 00:17:45.144
- The last thing this man remembers is the sound of a gunshot.
- 00:17:45.144 --> 00:17:49.215
- See how he survived getting shot in the face after this,
- 00:17:49.215 --> 00:17:54.287
- And then later a desperate prayer from a man
- 00:17:55.488 --> 00:17:56.589
- With an aortic dissection.
- 00:17:56.589 --> 00:17:58.891
- God, just don't let me die like this.
- 00:17:58.891 --> 00:18:01.460
- See how this man miraculously beat the odds
- 00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:03.996
- And walked out of the hospital.
- 00:18:03.996 --> 00:18:06.132
- Plus we're gonna be praying for you, so stay with us.
- 00:18:06.132 --> 00:18:10.803

- That was like the ultimate validation,
- 00:19:47.166 --> 00:19:48.968
- Just literally going out and like living the rockstar life.
- 00:19:48.968 --> 00:19:51.704
- It was a darkness that started to wear on me.
- 00:19:51.704 --> 00:19:54.206
- I realized how fake it was, so without talking to anybody,
- 00:19:54.206 --> 00:19:57.510
- I silently left hollywood with my dreams shattered,
- 00:19:57.510 --> 00:20:00.846
- Because that was the epitome.
- 00:20:00.846 --> 00:20:02.548
- And i said, god, i need help.
- 00:20:02.548 --> 00:20:04.917
- And at that moment i knew i needed to figure out
- 00:20:04.917 --> 00:20:07.920
- Who jesus is.
- 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.221

- - i just couldn't be with him the rest of my life.

- (soft inspirational music)
- 00:21:29.835 --> 00:21:31.170
- - i just remember him doing the altar call.
- 00:21:31.170 --> 00:21:32.972
- And if you're not sure that you're gonna go to heaven,
- 00:21:32.972 --> 00:21:35.641
- You've gotta confess with your mouth.
- 00:21:35.641 --> 00:21:38.277
- Say that you're a sinner.
- 00:21:38.277 --> 00:21:39.678

- There's only one hope, and that's christ.

- - i'm not breathing enough to make a feather move.
- 00:21:45.484 --> 00:21:48.087
- That really frustrated me
- 00:21:48.087 --> 00:21:49.555
- Because my quality of life had drastically changed.
- 00:21:49.555 --> 00:21:54.627
- I could just say, just lord, i need your help.
- 00:21:55.795 --> 00:21:57.897
- - there is someone else, you breathing issues.
- 00:21:57.897 --> 00:22:00.099

- 00:22:01.567 --> 00:22:05.371
- - i can feel that air going clear down
- 00:22:05.371 --> 00:22:08.841
- To my stomach and back.
- 00:22:08.841 --> 00:22:10.910
- He will always be there walking this out for your benefit.
- 00:22:10.910 --> 00:22:15.481
- - drew anderson said he needed two things in life,
- 00:22:16.715 --> 00:22:19.652
- The first, a heartbeat, the second, cocaine.
- 00:22:19.652 --> 00:22:23.823
- Drew said the drug gave him a feeling of invincibility.
- 00:22:23.823 --> 00:22:27.593
- Then the night three men broke into his house,
- 00:22:27.593 --> 00:22:30.296
- All that came crashing down.
- 00:22:30.296 --> 00:22:33.833
- - one night i was asleep and it was early in the morning
- 00:22:35.234 --> 00:22:38.204
- And i heard some noise in the living room.
- 00:22:38.204 --> 00:22:40.372
- And you know, i got up out of bed
- 00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:43.275
- And there's somebody in my living room.
- 00:22:43.275 --> 00:22:45.978
- So i go after him.
- 00:22:45.978 --> 00:22:47.146
- I move him out of the way pretty easily.
- 00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:50.382
- What i didn't see was two other people.
- 00:22:50.382 --> 00:22:53.118
- And they stood up and one of them had a gun.
- 00:22:53.118 --> 00:22:55.287
- And i remember looking at the gun being pointed at me
- 00:22:55.287 --> 00:22:59.258
- And the last noise that i remember hearing
- 00:22:59.258 --> 00:23:02.228
- Was the gunshot go off.
- 00:23:02.228 --> 00:23:03.095
- (loud gunshot)
- 00:23:03.095 --> 00:23:05.464
- - [narrator] drew anderson was on a crash course
- 00:23:05.464 --> 00:23:07.433
- With destruction long before he was shot in the face
- 00:23:07.433 --> 00:23:10.769
- During a random home invasion.
- 00:23:10.769 --> 00:23:13.339
- He was adopted from korea
- 00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:14.707
- By military parents when he was a child.
- 00:23:14.707 --> 00:23:17.142
- They moved frequently,
- 00:23:17.142 --> 00:23:18.777
- Leaving drew longing for a sense of identity.
- 00:23:18.777 --> 00:23:21.514
- - you know, i was given up at birth
- 00:23:22.581 --> 00:23:24.550
- And so i just really struggled, you know,
- 00:23:24.550 --> 00:23:27.720
- To identify with where i belonged and who i was.
- 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.723
- And so i just literally became a kid who existed
- 00:23:30.723 --> 00:23:34.894
- Until it was time to exist somewhere else.
- 00:23:34.894 --> 00:23:37.396
- - [narrator] when he was 14,
- 00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:38.964
- His parents retired in san antonio.
- 00:23:38.964 --> 00:23:41.534
- Desperate for friendships,
- 00:23:41.534 --> 00:23:42.968
- Drew quickly got in with a rough crowd.
- 00:23:42.968 --> 00:23:45.704
- - i wanted to belong to something.
- 00:23:45.704 --> 00:23:47.606
- And so i started to look for that
- 00:23:47.606 --> 00:23:50.142
- And it ended up being the people who wanted
- 00:23:50.142 --> 00:23:53.412
- To take advantage of my vulnerability
- 00:23:53.412 --> 00:23:55.548
- And my emotional, you know, situation,
- 00:23:56.649 --> 00:23:58.884
- Where i was literally just desperately searching
- 00:23:58.884 --> 00:24:02.354
- For somebody to accept me.
- 00:24:02.354 --> 00:24:04.290
- You know, i went from being a pretty innocent, silent kid,
- 00:24:04.290 --> 00:24:07.293
- To being very vocal, very aggressive,
- 00:24:07.293 --> 00:24:09.895
- Very outspoken, smoking weed, drinking,
- 00:24:09.895 --> 00:24:14.433
- Small criminal stuff like theft
- 00:24:14.433 --> 00:24:16.869
- And breaking into people's homes.
- 00:24:17.836 --> 00:24:20.005
- And it just, it moved very, very quickly
- 00:24:20.005 --> 00:24:21.941
- Because i was finally getting acceptance, affirmation,
- 00:24:21.941 --> 00:24:24.910
- And i felt as if i belonged to something.
- 00:24:24.910 --> 00:24:27.446
- - [narrator] drew left home at 17
- 00:24:27.446 --> 00:24:29.348
- And felt empowered to explore his new identity.
- 00:24:29.348 --> 00:24:32.351
- Cocaine use became a daily obsession.
- 00:24:32.351 --> 00:24:35.054
- - i became lawless.
- 00:24:35.054 --> 00:24:36.155
- Drugs all day, high on cocaine.
- 00:24:36.155 --> 00:24:38.424
- You know, now i'm going to rob people,
- 00:24:38.424 --> 00:24:40.426
- Now i'm going to sell at a higher ratio.
- 00:24:41.560 --> 00:24:42.861
- I'm gonna sell more, i'm gonna make more money.
- 00:24:42.861 --> 00:24:45.297
- And so the floodgates
- 00:24:45.297 --> 00:24:46.532
- Of criminal activity just opened all the way up.
- 00:24:47.800 --> 00:24:50.603
- - [narrator] cocaine fueled him
- 00:24:50.603 --> 00:24:51.937
- And gave drew a feeling of invincibility.
- 00:24:51.937 --> 00:24:54.707
- People respect me more when i'm on this stuff.
- 00:24:54.707 --> 00:24:57.776
- People take me more seriously when i'm on this stuff.
- 00:24:57.776 --> 00:25:00.479
- And so it felt as if next to a heartbeat
- 00:25:00.479 --> 00:25:03.782
- That it was the the second most necessary thing
- 00:25:03.782 --> 00:25:06.051
- In my life to be on.
- 00:25:06.051 --> 00:25:07.319
- I was definitely addicted,
- 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.922
- But addiction wasn't even how i felt.
- 00:25:09.922 --> 00:25:11.323
- It, it was just, i need this because it makes me
- 00:25:11.323 --> 00:25:14.259
- Who i am.
- 00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:15.527
- Then in 2012,
- 00:25:15.527 --> 00:25:16.929
- Drew confronted the men who broke into his home.
- 00:25:16.929 --> 00:25:19.798
- The bullet to his face lacerated his brain instead
- 00:25:19.798 --> 00:25:23.035
- Of traveling right through it.
- 00:25:23.035 --> 00:25:24.937
- He woke days later in the hospital,
- 00:25:24.937 --> 00:25:26.939
- Broken and helpless.
- 00:25:26.939 --> 00:25:29.341
- - when i woke up, i couldn't hear out of my right ear.
- 00:25:29.341 --> 00:25:33.412
- I couldn't open my mouth and speak.
- 00:25:33.412 --> 00:25:36.015
- The first question i had
- 00:25:36.015 --> 00:25:37.750
- That i wrote on my little board was, what happened?
- 00:25:37.750 --> 00:25:41.353
- You know, and they're like,
- 00:25:42.154 --> 00:25:43.622
- You got shot with a .45 caliber handgun
- 00:25:43.622 --> 00:25:45.858
- From nearly point blank range
- 00:25:45.858 --> 00:25:48.193
- And you should not be alive.
- 00:25:48.994 --> 00:25:50.663
- I had a nurse that was assigned to my room,
- 00:25:51.830 --> 00:25:53.632
- One of the very first days i was there.
- 00:25:53.632 --> 00:25:55.701
- She sat in a chair next to me and started to read the bible
- 00:25:55.701 --> 00:26:00.773
- And started to pray.
- 00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.242
- And i wish i could have told her to leave,
- 00:26:04.343 --> 00:26:05.878
- Or, you know, to get out
- 00:26:05.878 --> 00:26:07.246
- Because that's definitely what i wanted her to do.
- 00:26:07.246 --> 00:26:10.182
- But i couldn't, 'cause my mouth was wired shut.
- 00:26:10.182 --> 00:26:13.686
- - [narrator] his nurse continued to visit drew
- 00:26:13.686 --> 00:26:16.121
- And read the bible faithfully for the next 90 days.
- 00:26:16.121 --> 00:26:19.792
- - she just stayed consistent.
- 00:26:19.792 --> 00:26:21.994
- Came in, told me, i've looked at your chart.
- 00:26:21.994 --> 00:26:24.329
- I know what you've been through.
- 00:26:24.329 --> 00:26:25.698
- I know that you got this going on.
- 00:26:25.698 --> 00:26:27.232
- You shouldn't be alive, but you're alive
- 00:26:27.232 --> 00:26:29.134
- And god has plans for you.
- 00:26:29.134 --> 00:26:31.303
- You know, god wants to do something in your life.
- 00:26:31.303 --> 00:26:34.406
- And you know, over time as it passed
- 00:26:34.406 --> 00:26:35.774
- And her consistency grew, i just submitted to it.
- 00:26:35.774 --> 00:26:38.911
- By the time i left the hospital, you know,
- 00:26:38.911 --> 00:26:41.113
- She asked me a question
- 00:26:41.113 --> 00:26:42.781
- And she was like, you know, promise me
- 00:26:42.781 --> 00:26:44.149
- That you're gonna go find a church.
- 00:26:44.149 --> 00:26:46.952
- She had earned my trust
- 00:26:46.952 --> 00:26:48.387
- And she had earned my respect and her consistency.
- 00:26:48.387 --> 00:26:50.389
- And so i told her i would.
- 00:26:50.389 --> 00:26:52.257
- - [narrator] the very next day, drew stepped into a church.
- 00:26:53.659 --> 00:26:55.928
- In a moment, he found what he had longed
- 00:26:55.928 --> 00:26:57.996
- For his entire life.
- 00:26:57.996 --> 00:27:00.466
- - i walk into this church and got watery eyes
- 00:27:00.466 --> 00:27:04.369
- And i don't really understand why.
- 00:27:04.369 --> 00:27:07.039
- But then the pastor at the time
- 00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:09.475
- Has an impromptu altar call right in the middle of worship,
- 00:27:10.876 --> 00:27:13.245
- Offering people the chance to accept jesus
- 00:27:13.245 --> 00:27:17.149
- As their lord and savior.
- 00:27:17.149 --> 00:27:18.884
- And i just wept man.
- 00:27:19.551 --> 00:27:20.919
- I accepted jesus as my lord and savior.
- 00:27:20.919 --> 00:27:23.422
- I felt this just this weight come off of me
- 00:27:23.422 --> 00:27:26.291
- And i was just crying, unexplainably crying.
- 00:27:26.291 --> 00:27:29.795
- Full peace had come over me.
- 00:27:29.795 --> 00:27:33.732
- - [narrator] drew was set free from cocaine
- 00:27:34.933 --> 00:27:37.503
- And his identity was redefined
- 00:27:37.503 --> 00:27:39.371
- As he immersed himself in the bible
- 00:27:39.371 --> 00:27:41.373
- And his new church community.
- 00:27:41.373 --> 00:27:43.408
- - when i to to read his word, i felt different.
- 00:27:43.408 --> 00:27:45.911
- When i started to pray, i felt the peace
- 00:27:45.911 --> 00:27:48.046
- That i had always looked for.
- 00:27:48.046 --> 00:27:49.515
- I started to read my identity in a book
- 00:27:49.515 --> 00:27:52.518
- And found my identity in the lord.
- 00:27:52.518 --> 00:27:55.420
- - [narrator] drew says he is thankful his life was spared
- 00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:58.590
- And for a second chance to find meaning
- 00:27:58.590 --> 00:28:00.959
- And purpose in the time he's been given.
- 00:28:00.959 --> 00:28:04.263
- - i lost so much time.
- 00:28:04.263 --> 00:28:06.098
- I lost a lot of people.
- 00:28:06.098 --> 00:28:08.467
- I lost, you know, time even with my parents,
- 00:28:08.467 --> 00:28:11.804
- And man, god has restored it all.
- 00:28:11.804 --> 00:28:13.739
- You know, beautiful wife, ministry,
- 00:28:13.739 --> 00:28:17.042
- Tons of spiritual kids now 'cause i'm a youth pastor
- 00:28:17.042 --> 00:28:19.845
- And i'm so grateful that jesus stepped in
- 00:28:21.013 --> 00:28:24.249
- And that jesus made himself known to me
- 00:28:25.384 --> 00:28:27.619
- When i would never have sought him out.
- 00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:31.657
- - he comes after us.
- 00:28:32.324 --> 00:28:33.859
- He comes after us because he loves us,
- 00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:36.428
- Because he sees us in our lostness trying
- 00:28:36.428 --> 00:28:40.098
- To figure out who we are.
- 00:28:40.098 --> 00:28:42.301
- Don't you think everybody goes through
- 00:28:42.301 --> 00:28:43.969
- That at some point in their life?
- 00:28:43.969 --> 00:28:45.470
- It's not just what is my life about?
- 00:28:45.470 --> 00:28:47.506
- It's who am i?
- 00:28:47.506 --> 00:28:48.507
- Why am i here?
- 00:28:48.507 --> 00:28:50.375
- I mean, i think most of us ask that question at some point.
- 00:28:50.375 --> 00:28:53.245
- Some of us take a longer journey than others finding it
- 00:28:53.245 --> 00:28:56.114
- And some don't ever find it, but you are meant to find it.
- 00:28:56.114 --> 00:29:01.153
- I love the fact that drew says,
- 00:29:01.987 --> 00:29:03.488
- "as that faithfulness nurse read the word of god,
- 00:29:03.488 --> 00:29:06.792
- He began to hear who he was".
- 00:29:06.792 --> 00:29:09.361
- You know, god doesn't keep a secret from us.
- 00:29:09.361 --> 00:29:11.730
- He wants us to know him.
- 00:29:11.730 --> 00:29:13.665
- We are the ones who shy away from coming to him,
- 00:29:13.665 --> 00:29:16.802
- Shy away from his words, shy away from even the message
- 00:29:16.802 --> 00:29:19.972
- Of his love because we wanna do it our way,
- 00:29:19.972 --> 00:29:23.242
- Because we think we've got the answers.
- 00:29:23.242 --> 00:29:25.177
- Because we think we've figured out how to belong,
- 00:29:25.177 --> 00:29:27.679
- How to feel special,
- 00:29:27.679 --> 00:29:28.981
- How to feel like our lives are significant.
- 00:29:28.981 --> 00:29:31.450
- The search for significance,
- 00:29:32.251 --> 00:29:33.952
- It's in all of us.
- 00:29:33.952 --> 00:29:36.021
- Why are we here?
- 00:29:36.021 --> 00:29:38.290
- You know, until you really meet the one
- 00:29:38.290 --> 00:29:40.926
- Who created you to be here,
- 00:29:40.926 --> 00:29:42.828
- Who created you with intention and purpose,
- 00:29:42.828 --> 00:29:45.364
- It's hard to get an answer to any of that.
- 00:29:45.364 --> 00:29:48.333
- You are a creation of the living god.
- 00:29:48.333 --> 00:29:52.070
- He saw you.
- 00:29:52.638 --> 00:29:53.939
- The bible says these are the kinds of of bits
- 00:29:53.939 --> 00:29:57.175
- Of information that put the whole picture together.
- 00:29:57.175 --> 00:29:59.711
- He saw you while you were being formed
- 00:29:59.711 --> 00:30:01.747
- In your mother's womb.
- 00:30:01.747 --> 00:30:03.315
- He knew you before then
- 00:30:03.315 --> 00:30:05.417
- And had ordained your days, that says.
- 00:30:05.417 --> 00:30:08.120
- And then it talks about a god
- 00:30:08.120 --> 00:30:10.122
- Who loved you enough seeing you in your lostness,
- 00:30:10.122 --> 00:30:13.859
- Who came himself to suffer so that you wouldn't have to,
- 00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:18.330
- To die so that you wouldn't have to,
- 00:30:19.398 --> 00:30:22.267
- To pay the price so that you could have eternity with him,
- 00:30:22.267 --> 00:30:25.904
- With this one who loves you
- 00:30:25.904 --> 00:30:27.873
- Beyond anything the world can offer you.
- 00:30:27.873 --> 00:30:30.509
- If you are someone today who is searching for significance,
- 00:30:31.944 --> 00:30:34.947
- If you don't understand why you're here, come to jesus.
- 00:30:34.947 --> 00:30:39.384
- I know that can sound so simple,
- 00:30:39.384 --> 00:30:41.186
- But what a difference it makes in your life
- 00:30:41.186 --> 00:30:43.422
- And what have you got to lose?
- 00:30:43.422 --> 00:30:45.257
- When i made a commitment to christ,
- 00:30:45.257 --> 00:30:46.825
- It was pretty, pretty raw.
- 00:30:46.825 --> 00:30:49.161
- I just said, jesus, if you're there,
- 00:30:49.161 --> 00:30:50.796
- I give you what's left of my life.
- 00:30:50.796 --> 00:30:51.997
- And if you're not, i'm no worse off
- 00:30:51.997 --> 00:30:54.032
- Than i was before i said this prayer,
- 00:30:54.032 --> 00:30:55.901
- But i meant it
- 00:30:55.901 --> 00:30:57.502
- And he knew i meant it and he came
- 00:30:57.502 --> 00:31:00.906
- And he waited while i read his word, while i grew,
- 00:31:00.906 --> 00:31:04.042
- While i recognized the things
- 00:31:04.042 --> 00:31:05.677
- In my life that i needed to change.
- 00:31:05.677 --> 00:31:07.779
- God never took anything from me.
- 00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:09.915
- He changed me and i got rid of the junk in my life.
- 00:31:09.915 --> 00:31:13.285
- He'll do that for you too.
- 00:31:13.285 --> 00:31:15.287
- He loves you so much more than you could ask for or imagine.
- 00:31:15.287 --> 00:31:20.425
- Just pray this prayer.
- 00:31:21.126 --> 00:31:22.928
- Jesus, i want to know you.
- 00:31:23.695 --> 00:31:26.665
- I wanna know who i am and why you created me.
- 00:31:26.665 --> 00:31:29.668
- I wanna know where we fit together in this world
- 00:31:29.668 --> 00:31:33.338
- And the the life that you've given me.
- 00:31:33.338 --> 00:31:35.741
- I wanna be forgiven because i've made a lot of dumb choices
- 00:31:37.142 --> 00:31:39.878
- And i've done many foolish things.
- 00:31:39.878 --> 00:31:41.613
- I've hurt others.
- 00:31:41.613 --> 00:31:42.547
- I've hurt myself and jesus,
- 00:31:42.547 --> 00:31:45.450
- I'm asking you to forgive me.
- 00:31:45.450 --> 00:31:48.020
- There's no other name under heaven by which men may be saved
- 00:31:49.421 --> 00:31:52.124
- And i declare your name today.
- 00:31:52.124 --> 00:31:54.026
- Jesus, be my savior.
- 00:31:54.026 --> 00:31:55.560
- Be my lord.
- 00:31:55.560 --> 00:31:57.162
- Show me how to live.
- 00:31:57.162 --> 00:31:58.397
- Teach me your ways.
- 00:31:58.397 --> 00:31:59.731
- Fill me with your holy spirit
- 00:31:59.731 --> 00:32:01.833
- So that i can live differently, live for you, live with you.
- 00:32:03.301 --> 00:32:06.338
- I'm asking this in your mighty name.
- 00:32:06.338 --> 00:32:08.774
- Jesus, amen.
- 00:32:08.774 --> 00:32:10.575
- If you've prayed that prayer, then life is about to begin
- 00:32:12.010 --> 00:32:15.147
- For you in a really special way.
- 00:32:15.147 --> 00:32:17.149
- We've got something to help you grow.
- 00:32:17.149 --> 00:32:18.917
- It's called "a new day."
- 00:32:18.917 --> 00:32:20.185
- It's a packet put together just for you.
- 00:32:20.185 --> 00:32:22.421
- Wanna encourage you also to get ahold of a bible.
- 00:32:22.421 --> 00:32:24.923
- The word of god will change your life.
- 00:32:24.923 --> 00:32:28.260
- If you'd like to get ahold of our "new day" packet,
- 00:32:28.260 --> 00:32:30.462
- We'd love to send it to you.
- 00:32:30.462 --> 00:32:31.563
- It's absolutely free.
- 00:32:31.563 --> 00:32:32.831
- So is the number to get it, 1-800-700-7000.
- 00:32:32.831 --> 00:32:36.234
- Just call now.
- 00:32:36.234 --> 00:32:37.803
- Say i prayed that prayer and i'd like the "new day" packet.
- 00:32:37.803 --> 00:32:39.638
- Send it to you, gordon
- 00:32:39.638 --> 00:32:41.540
- - coming up later, their loved one was in the hospital
- 00:32:41.540 --> 00:32:44.576
- And only one thing could help him.
- 00:32:44.576 --> 00:32:47.112
- See how their prayers led this man to make a full recovery.
- 00:32:47.112 --> 00:32:52.851
- (soft music)
- 00:32:53.385 --> 00:32:58.523
- - i start drinking alcohol under the pretense
- 00:32:59.724 --> 00:33:02.527
- Of i'm celebrating.
- 00:33:02.527 --> 00:33:04.362
- I wasn't celebrating, i was medicating myself.
- 00:33:04.362 --> 00:33:07.499
- I felt completely defeated and broken.
- 00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:11.269
- I was weak in my relationship with god
- 00:33:11.269 --> 00:33:13.538
- And i was just a weak human being
- 00:33:13.538 --> 00:33:16.241
- And god got further and further away.
- 00:33:16.241 --> 00:33:18.610
- When you feel his presence
- 00:33:19.377 --> 00:33:20.912
- And you walk away from it, there's guilt, there's shame,
- 00:33:20.912 --> 00:33:24.349
- But there's also a sort of a sense that
- 00:33:24.349 --> 00:33:27.018
- It'll never happen for you again.
- 00:33:27.018 --> 00:33:29.254
- My daughter, who was 12 at the time, she said,
- 00:33:29.254 --> 00:33:31.957
- "daddy, i want you to be happy.
- 00:33:31.957 --> 00:33:34.226
- I want you to know jesus."
- 00:33:34.226 --> 00:33:36.428
- God started to reveal himself to me again
- 00:33:37.596 --> 00:33:40.665
- And he started to melt away the ice that was my heart.
- 00:33:40.665 --> 00:33:45.270
- I'm trying to talk people into this life
- 00:33:46.404 --> 00:33:49.441
- That is second to none.
- 00:33:49.441 --> 00:33:51.676
- This life of failing christ's presence in your life.
- 00:33:51.676 --> 00:33:56.615
- (soft music)
- 00:33:57.149 --> 00:33:59.618
- - [narrator] melissa and her husband rick,
- 00:33:59.618 --> 00:34:01.052
- Have come a long way from when they met.
- 00:34:01.052 --> 00:34:03.221
- Melissa was in real estate.
- 00:34:03.221 --> 00:34:04.856
- Rick had been living on credit cards,
- 00:34:04.856 --> 00:34:07.058
- Trying to start a number of businesses
- 00:34:07.058 --> 00:34:09.327
- And was $80,000 in debt.
- 00:34:09.327 --> 00:34:11.796
- All the while the hinnant were tithing
- 00:34:11.796 --> 00:34:14.466
- And the newly married couple started working their
- 00:34:14.466 --> 00:34:16.568
- Way out of the red.
- 00:34:16.568 --> 00:34:17.936
- - i think i had bought into society saying,
- 00:34:17.936 --> 00:34:21.373
- Here's what you should have.
- 00:34:21.373 --> 00:34:22.707
- I simply asked god, do i have money before you?
- 00:34:22.707 --> 00:34:26.011
- I asked god to forgive me instantly.
- 00:34:26.011 --> 00:34:28.980
- I told god whether i make a lot of money or not,
- 00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:33.084
- I'm done striving.
- 00:34:33.084 --> 00:34:34.819
- - today, rick and melissa have three children
- 00:34:34.819 --> 00:34:37.389
- And choose to live way below their means
- 00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:39.558
- So they can help the poor.
- 00:34:39.558 --> 00:34:41.359
- They've already built 13 orphanages
- 00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:43.695
- And a freedom house in india.
- 00:34:43.695 --> 00:34:45.597
- - what i loved about operation blessing
- 00:34:45.597 --> 00:34:47.332
- Is that we were really able to see the fruit of that gift.
- 00:34:47.332 --> 00:34:51.336
- - now i have the hunger to make more money
- 00:34:51.336 --> 00:34:53.805
- So we truly can give to all of these places,
- 00:34:53.805 --> 00:34:57.075
- 'cause there's a lot of need out there.
- 00:34:57.075 --> 00:34:59.678
- (soft music)
- 00:35:00.212 --> 00:35:29.674
- - the only way i can describe it is i was supernaturally
- 00:35:31.076 --> 00:35:33.545
- Delivered from a nine year cocaine addiction.
- 00:35:33.545 --> 00:35:37.315
- I loved jesus.
- 00:35:37.315 --> 00:35:38.650
- I was a christian, but i was deeply in pain.
- 00:35:38.650 --> 00:35:41.419
- I was physically addicted.
- 00:35:41.419 --> 00:35:42.954
- I was mentally addicted.
- 00:35:42.954 --> 00:35:44.022
- I was all of those things.
- 00:35:44.022 --> 00:35:45.056
- I knew how bad off i was
- 00:35:45.056 --> 00:35:48.293
- And what i felt him saying was,
- 00:35:49.094 --> 00:35:50.929
- I created you for more than this my girl.
- 00:35:50.929 --> 00:35:53.498
- God filled those holes with a beautiful message to say,
- 00:35:53.498 --> 00:35:57.168
- You are enough in me.
- 00:35:57.168 --> 00:36:00.038
- - i just turned and excruciating pain
- 00:36:01.139 --> 00:36:04.342
- Came in my knee on the inside
- 00:36:04.342 --> 00:36:08.079
- And it was like a jabbing knife.
- 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:10.382
- I made it to the doctor.
- 00:36:10.382 --> 00:36:12.150
- Found out it was a torn meniscus.
- 00:36:12.150 --> 00:36:14.085
- So having the knee injury,
- 00:36:14.085 --> 00:36:16.855
- Having to slow down was depressing.
- 00:36:16.855 --> 00:36:20.392
- I was like, lord, heal this.
- 00:36:20.392 --> 00:36:22.460
- Sitting on the couch, the 700 club came on
- 00:36:22.460 --> 00:36:25.463
- And that's when i saw gordon on.
- 00:36:26.264 --> 00:36:29.167
- - we say out loud to it, be healed,
- 00:36:29.167 --> 00:36:33.538
- And be made whole.
- 00:36:33.538 --> 00:36:35.707
- May all pain leave me,
- 00:36:35.707 --> 00:36:39.577
- In jesus' name.
- 00:36:40.111 --> 00:36:41.279
- I receive it now.
- 00:36:41.913 --> 00:36:43.915
- Now what you couldn't do before, do now.
- 00:36:43.915 --> 00:36:46.885
- - [speaker] by faith i'm going to do this.
- 00:36:46.885 --> 00:36:49.421
- By faith, i'm gonna walk
- 00:36:49.421 --> 00:36:50.388
- And i was walking.
- 00:36:50.388 --> 00:36:51.323
- It wasn't hurting.
- 00:36:51.323 --> 00:36:52.824
- I know that god healed me beyond a shadow of a doubt.
- 00:36:52.824 --> 00:36:56.795
- (soft music)
- 00:36:57.329 --> 00:37:01.666
- - one meal a day,
- 00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:03.835
- That's all isabelle and her son could afford to eat.
- 00:37:03.835 --> 00:37:06.971
- Sometimes they went the whole day with no food at all.
- 00:37:06.971 --> 00:37:10.909
- Then operation blessing came to their village
- 00:37:10.909 --> 00:37:13.545
- And now this mother and son eat three meals a day.
- 00:37:13.545 --> 00:37:16.915
- Here's how you help make that happen.
- 00:37:16.915 --> 00:37:20.485
- - [narrator] isabel is a single mother raising
- 00:37:21.653 --> 00:37:23.455
- Her son marco in iquitos, peru.
- 00:37:23.455 --> 00:37:25.957
- To support him, she grows and sells chili peppers
- 00:37:25.957 --> 00:37:29.127
- And she makes and sells corn tamales on the main
- 00:37:29.127 --> 00:37:31.930
- Street of her community.
- 00:37:31.930 --> 00:37:33.898
- Five-year-old marco likes to help.
- 00:37:33.898 --> 00:37:36.401
- - [interpreter] i help my mom
- 00:37:36.401 --> 00:37:37.669
- To make the tamales and with the housework.
- 00:37:37.669 --> 00:37:40.138
- - [narrator] but the money isabel earned
- 00:37:40.138 --> 00:37:41.506
- Working seven days a week was often not enough
- 00:37:41.506 --> 00:37:44.409
- To restock the business
- 00:37:44.409 --> 00:37:45.910
- And buy food for the day.
- 00:37:45.910 --> 00:37:48.646
- - [interpreter] i typically only make enough for us
- 00:37:48.646 --> 00:37:50.849
- To eat one meal a day.
- 00:37:50.849 --> 00:37:52.984
- - [narrator] there were times when marco said
- 00:37:52.984 --> 00:37:54.486
- They went the whole day without eating.
- 00:37:54.486 --> 00:37:56.921
- - [interpreter] i remember a day
- 00:37:56.921 --> 00:37:58.056
- When i didn't have anything to eat.
- 00:37:58.056 --> 00:38:01.126
- Then a neighbor gave us some food.
- 00:38:01.126 --> 00:38:03.395
- I decided to give it to my son.
- 00:38:03.395 --> 00:38:06.097
- That night, i tried to make him fall asleep
- 00:38:06.097 --> 00:38:09.701
- So that he would not ask me for food.
- 00:38:09.701 --> 00:38:12.437
- - [narrator] then operation blessing came to the community
- 00:38:12.437 --> 00:38:15.173
- And trained isabel how to raise and sell broiler chickens.
- 00:38:15.173 --> 00:38:19.010
- After the training, operation blessing built a coop
- 00:38:19.010 --> 00:38:22.147
- And gave her 100 broiler chickens
- 00:38:22.147 --> 00:38:24.349
- To start the poultry business.
- 00:38:24.349 --> 00:38:26.251
- - [interpreter] they not only gave me a shed,
- 00:38:26.251 --> 00:38:27.986
- But feeders for food and water,
- 00:38:27.986 --> 00:38:30.288
- Everything needed to raise the chickens.
- 00:38:30.288 --> 00:38:33.324
- - [interpreter] when mom sells chickens,
- 00:38:33.324 --> 00:38:35.160
- She buys food for me.
- 00:38:35.160 --> 00:38:36.795
- Now, we eat three times a day.
- 00:38:37.629 --> 00:38:40.265
- - [interpreter] i have now been raising
- 00:38:40.265 --> 00:38:41.666
- And selling chickens for two years.
- 00:38:41.666 --> 00:38:44.235
- With the profits,
- 00:38:44.235 --> 00:38:45.570
- I am increasing the business thanks to god
- 00:38:45.570 --> 00:38:48.773
- And the people who have blessed my family.
- 00:38:48.773 --> 00:38:52.644
- - and that thank you goes to your home and to you.

- If you're a member of the 700 club,
- 00:38:57.215 --> 00:38:59.851
- Just imagine all across the globe,
- 00:38:59.851 --> 00:39:03.154
- People giving thanks to god because you cared,
- 00:39:03.154 --> 00:39:05.557
- Because you came to them in their hour of need.
- 00:39:05.557 --> 00:39:08.193
- Not with some temporary handout,
- 00:39:08.193 --> 00:39:10.395

- 00:39:10.395 --> 00:39:13.531

- - and it's not a lie for you.
- 00:51:29.500 --> 00:51:31.068
- He is our very present help and time of trouble.
- 00:51:31.068 --> 00:51:34.905
- He stands, he watches over his word to perform it,
- 00:51:34.905 --> 00:51:39.877
- And who is he going to perform it for?
- 00:51:39.877 --> 00:51:42.913
- Well, he's looking for trust.
- 00:51:42.913 --> 00:51:46.083
- He's looking for faith
- 00:51:46.083 --> 00:51:47.818
- And trust is another way to say faith.
- 00:51:47.818 --> 00:51:51.922
- For latroy, here he is lying in bed.
- 00:51:51.922 --> 00:51:54.992
- He can't talk.
- 00:51:54.992 --> 00:51:56.694
- He's paralyzed and, of course,
- 00:51:56.694 --> 00:51:59.630
- Within himself he's going,
- 00:51:59.630 --> 00:52:01.699
- Why did this happen?
- 00:52:01.699 --> 00:52:03.634
- And we do that.
- 00:52:03.634 --> 00:52:05.202
- We get stuck in,
- 00:52:05.736 --> 00:52:07.805
- Was there some sin that i did
- 00:52:07.805 --> 00:52:09.873
- Or was there something i did wrong?
- 00:52:09.873 --> 00:52:12.042
- All of these things are running through our heads
- 00:52:12.042 --> 00:52:15.346
- And is this fair?
- 00:52:15.346 --> 00:52:17.214
- You know, all of these questions,
- 00:52:17.214 --> 00:52:20.284
- Why, why, why?
- 00:52:20.284 --> 00:52:21.852
- For latroy, god responded to those questions with trust.
- 00:52:21.852 --> 00:52:27.258
- Trust me.
- 00:52:27.758 --> 00:52:29.193
- And you hear it from latroy's wife,
- 00:52:29.193 --> 00:52:33.597
- We trust god.
- 00:52:34.164 --> 00:52:36.100
- In our prayers, we're going to realize we trust god.
- 00:52:36.100 --> 00:52:41.739
- Trust reliance.
- 00:52:42.273 --> 00:52:45.142
- Those are other words
- 00:52:45.142 --> 00:52:47.044
- That can translate, the wonderful greek word behind faith.
- 00:52:48.612 --> 00:52:51.982
- When you call it faith,
- 00:52:52.650 --> 00:52:54.385
- You're looking at something spiritual that you have
- 00:52:54.385 --> 00:52:56.487
- To drum up.
- 00:52:56.487 --> 00:52:57.521
- When you trust god.
- 00:52:58.188 --> 00:52:59.723
- That's not something you drum up.
- 00:52:59.723 --> 00:53:01.458
- When you rely on god.
- 00:53:01.458 --> 00:53:03.694
- That's not something you have to drum up.
- 00:53:03.694 --> 00:53:05.362
- That's just something that you do.
- 00:53:05.362 --> 00:53:07.698
- And in that, you walk into miracle power.
- 00:53:08.866 --> 00:53:12.336
- The eyes of the lord
- 00:53:13.003 --> 00:53:14.371
- Go to and fro over the whole earth
- 00:53:14.371 --> 00:53:17.841
- To show himself strong
- 00:53:17.841 --> 00:53:20.711
- To those whose hearts are loyal to him.
- 00:53:20.711 --> 00:53:25.282
- That's another way to say faith.
- 00:53:25.282 --> 00:53:27.718
- Are you loyal to god?
- 00:53:27.718 --> 00:53:29.653
- Are you trusting god?
- 00:53:29.653 --> 00:53:31.188
- Are you relying on god?
- 00:53:31.188 --> 00:53:33.424
- Do you realize god watches over his word to perform it?
- 00:53:33.424 --> 00:53:37.061
- Do you say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and amen.
- 00:53:37.061 --> 00:53:41.532
- When you have the wonderful promises of god flowing
- 00:53:41.532 --> 00:53:45.703
- Through your innermost being,
- 00:53:45.703 --> 00:53:47.738
- Well, then you have all the trust and all the reliance
- 00:53:47.738 --> 00:53:50.974
- And all that you need to walk into the reality
- 00:53:50.974 --> 00:53:55.346
- That he is our very present help in time of trouble.
- 00:53:55.346 --> 00:54:00.417
- Now, we're going to pray for you.
- 00:54:01.285 --> 00:54:03.020
- Before we pray, here's some other miracles
- 00:54:03.020 --> 00:54:05.289
- That have happened to people just like you.
- 00:54:05.289 --> 00:54:07.958
- What god has done for others, he will do for you.
- 00:54:07.958 --> 00:54:11.328
- He's no respecter of persons.
- 00:54:11.328 --> 00:54:13.330
- All he is looking for is, are you loyal?
- 00:54:13.330 --> 00:54:16.433
- Do you trust him?
- 00:54:16.433 --> 00:54:17.401
- Do you believe his worth?
- 00:54:17.401 --> 00:54:19.236

- God is good.
- 00:54:50.934 --> 00:54:52.936
- Isn't it?
- 00:54:52.936 --> 00:54:54.104
- - [terry] that's revelation, right?
- 00:54:54.104 --> 00:54:55.472
- Well, this is an answer to prayer also for a year.
- 00:54:55.472 --> 00:54:58.375

- Since then, she hasn't suffered
- 00:55:35.746 --> 00:55:37.214
