The 700 Club | November 28, 2025 | November 28, 2025

(dramatic music)
00:00:00.188 --> 00:00:01.723
- [voiceover] the following program is sponsored by cbn.
00:00:01.723 --> 00:00:05.360
- [voiceover] coming up, "chosen" actor, nick shakoour.
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.730
- how am i playing that so well,
00:00:08.730 --> 00:00:10.732
If it isn't him inspiring me to do that?
00:00:10.732 --> 00:00:13.001
- [voiceover] and the miracle you won't see on the hit show.
00:00:13.001 --> 00:00:16.972
- once this happens to you, there's no going back.
00:00:16.972 --> 00:00:20.275
- [voiceover] and...
00:00:20.275 --> 00:00:21.409
(tires screeching)
00:00:21.409 --> 00:00:23.011
An out of control car flips at 100 miles an hour.
00:00:23.011 --> 00:00:26.581
- [christy voiceover] i just saw the car,
00:00:26.581 --> 00:00:27.883
And then i saw the ambulance.
00:00:27.883 --> 00:00:29.384
- [voiceover] a young woman is thrown from the wreck.
00:00:29.384 --> 00:00:31.586
- [madison voiceover] can you hear me?
00:00:31.586 --> 00:00:32.554
Can you open your eyes?
00:00:32.554 --> 00:00:33.388
Can you blink?
00:00:33.388 --> 00:00:34.222
Can you do anything?
00:00:34.222 --> 00:00:35.790
- [voiceover] now watch, as she makes a stunning recovery.
00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:37.859
- she was a miracle.
00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:38.994
- [voiceover] on today's "700 club."
00:00:38.994 --> 00:00:42.397
(dramatic music)
00:00:42.931 --> 00:00:48.703
- hi everyone, and welcome to "the 700 club."
00:00:49.938 --> 00:00:51.940
The sky is the limit.
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:53.942
For some cadets at the us air force academy,
00:00:53.942 --> 00:00:56.011
That saying no longer applies.
00:00:56.011 --> 00:00:58.213
They're training to join the space force
00:00:58.213 --> 00:01:00.048
And push the boundaries of an endless frontier.
00:01:00.048 --> 00:01:03.118
- their goals include producing resources in space
00:01:03.118 --> 00:01:06.321
And one day expanding mankind's horizons
00:01:06.321 --> 00:01:09.724
To live on other planets.
00:01:09.724 --> 00:01:11.359
Mark martin reports from colorado springs.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.429
- frame stats is scrolling...
00:01:15.263 --> 00:01:17.432
- [mark voiceover] cadet first class, james foran,
00:01:17.432 --> 00:01:19.434
Commands this operation.
00:01:19.434 --> 00:01:21.303
He and his crew check the health of a satellite,
00:01:21.303 --> 00:01:24.005
Upload a list of instructions for it to follow,
00:01:24.005 --> 00:01:26.641
And download data.
00:01:26.641 --> 00:01:28.343
- so, were there any issues with this?
00:01:28.343 --> 00:01:30.745
- not at all, that was the perfect pass.
00:01:30.745 --> 00:01:32.714
- [mark voiceover] the us air force academy
00:01:32.714 --> 00:01:34.449
Falconsat program is just one aspect
00:01:34.449 --> 00:01:37.185
Of a rigorous education path.
00:01:37.185 --> 00:01:39.354
Transforming cadets like foran into space force officers.
00:01:39.354 --> 00:01:43.725
- a nominal pass is what we always want.
00:01:43.725 --> 00:01:45.794
That's the great thing.
00:01:45.794 --> 00:01:47.095
However, the things that kind of excite me
00:01:47.095 --> 00:01:48.797
Is when things aren't going perfectly,
00:01:48.797 --> 00:01:50.699
And you have to problem-solve on the spot.
00:01:50.699 --> 00:01:52.601
- the cadets can actually build and operate
00:01:52.601 --> 00:01:54.502
And fly the satellites.
00:01:54.502 --> 00:01:55.837
And these satellites are not the qc satellites
00:01:55.837 --> 00:01:58.373
Where you're just demonstrating a little technology.
00:01:58.373 --> 00:02:00.909
No, these satellites are performing a mission
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:02.677
For the air force and the space force
00:02:02.677 --> 00:02:04.179
And other dod customers.
00:02:04.179 --> 00:02:05.614
- [mark voiceover] colonel luke sauter says,
00:02:05.614 --> 00:02:06.982
Having a space force is critical
00:02:06.982 --> 00:02:08.750
To protect key us interests in space
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:11.453
And to ensure equal access for the nations of the world
00:02:11.453 --> 00:02:14.422
To utilize this frontier.
00:02:14.422 --> 00:02:16.157
- whether it's your cell phone and a gps connection,
00:02:16.157 --> 00:02:18.793
Whether it's the timing of your banking signals,
00:02:18.793 --> 00:02:21.029
Whether it's the weather that you're expecting to see
00:02:21.029 --> 00:02:23.064
For the forecast in the next few days, space is everywhere.
00:02:23.064 --> 00:02:26.935
Well, if we're seeing our commercial assets going to space
00:02:26.935 --> 00:02:29.638
And the money and the benefit to the economy
00:02:29.638 --> 00:02:32.941
From a space economy,
00:02:32.941 --> 00:02:34.843
There's the advent that somebody else
00:02:34.843 --> 00:02:36.578
Will want to also take advantage of that
00:02:36.578 --> 00:02:38.346
Or maybe rob us of that advantage.
00:02:38.346 --> 00:02:41.082
That's where we need a space force
00:02:41.082 --> 00:02:42.984
To defend our equities in space.
00:02:42.984 --> 00:02:45.120
- [mark voiceover] sauter says cadets learn space
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.455
By doing space.
00:02:47.455 --> 00:02:48.890
From glasses and space war fighting and operations,
00:02:48.890 --> 00:02:52.160
To the brand new summer azimuth program.
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:54.896
- [luke voiceover] from flying in the vomit comet
00:02:54.896 --> 00:02:56.531
And experiencing what weightlessness is like for real,
00:02:56.531 --> 00:03:00.335
To doing some underwater immersion,
00:03:00.335 --> 00:03:02.103
To actually getting a briefing and tours
00:03:02.103 --> 00:03:05.173
Of all of this surrounding space infrastructure
00:03:05.173 --> 00:03:07.942
And architecture that we have in this area,
00:03:07.942 --> 00:03:09.644
It's a very rich area for the space force.
00:03:09.644 --> 00:03:12.714
- [mark voiceover] the academy also teaches astrobiology
00:03:12.714 --> 00:03:15.817
To build the science of growing food, plants,
00:03:15.817 --> 00:03:18.386
And other resources in space.
00:03:18.386 --> 00:03:20.422
- we're building an astrobiology program very quickly
00:03:20.422 --> 00:03:23.692
That will incrementally do new and innovative experiments.
00:03:23.692 --> 00:03:27.629
And each one has a unique angle,
00:03:27.629 --> 00:03:29.431
Looking at different aspects of what biology means
00:03:29.431 --> 00:03:32.400
Out in space and how that biology
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.569
Relates back to us here on earth.
00:03:34.569 --> 00:03:36.237
- [mark voiceover] cadet fourth class, jordan moore,
00:03:36.237 --> 00:03:38.206
Works to make the perfect mushroom.
00:03:38.206 --> 00:03:40.542
- if we want independent space travel, right,
00:03:40.542 --> 00:03:42.844
We wanna go to mars,
00:03:42.844 --> 00:03:44.079
We wanna go to the moons of jupiter, right?
00:03:44.079 --> 00:03:46.715
We need to have a source of food
00:03:46.715 --> 00:03:48.917
That is able to be grown and be sustained
00:03:48.917 --> 00:03:51.619
Without having earth resources.
00:03:51.619 --> 00:03:53.421
- [mark voiceover] cadet second class, madelyn letendre,
00:03:53.421 --> 00:03:55.990
Plants mustard seeds in phyto gel
00:03:55.990 --> 00:03:58.560
With the ultimate goal of producing plants
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.729
That can grow in space without sunlight.
00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:03.365
- it's super cool.
00:04:03.365 --> 00:04:04.532
I mean, this research project is new,
00:04:04.532 --> 00:04:05.967
And so it's really interesting
00:04:05.967 --> 00:04:07.402
To be at the start of something and see this process,
00:04:07.402 --> 00:04:10.305
The trial and error,
00:04:10.305 --> 00:04:11.539
And seeing the end goal being something
00:04:11.539 --> 00:04:14.008
Super cool up in space.
00:04:14.008 --> 00:04:15.977
- the air force academy is the top commissioning source
00:04:15.977 --> 00:04:18.813
For space force officers.
00:04:18.813 --> 00:04:20.715
About 400 have graduated from the school since 2020,
00:04:20.715 --> 00:04:24.352
And the expectation is that around 10%
00:04:24.352 --> 00:04:26.821
Of every graduating class
00:04:26.821 --> 00:04:28.590
Will go into the newest branch of the military.
00:04:28.590 --> 00:04:31.025
- of our 40 cadet squadrons,
00:04:31.025 --> 00:04:33.428
We have five air officer commandings who are space force
00:04:33.428 --> 00:04:37.332
Officers as well, and a group commander too.
00:04:37.332 --> 00:04:40.001
So we really, i think, are doing a good job of embedding
00:04:40.001 --> 00:04:43.204
These space force leaders and mentors
00:04:43.204 --> 00:04:45.440
Into just about every aspect of cadet life.
00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:48.176
- [mark voiceover] and colonel sauter welcomes prayers
00:04:48.176 --> 00:04:50.311
For guidance.
00:04:50.311 --> 00:04:51.679
- we have leadership that is trying to understand
00:04:51.679 --> 00:04:54.416
How to step forward in this new domain
00:04:54.416 --> 00:04:57.419
For the good of society
00:04:57.419 --> 00:04:59.421
And the good of the human population,
00:04:59.421 --> 00:05:01.456
Expand our presence in space,
00:05:01.456 --> 00:05:03.258
Expand to the moon and to mars and to other locations,
00:05:03.258 --> 00:05:06.528
And really be able to leave this planet
00:05:06.528 --> 00:05:08.563
And become a multi-planet species.
00:05:08.563 --> 00:05:10.865
- [mark voiceover] cadet first class, james foran says,
00:05:10.865 --> 00:05:13.301
Having faith while executing a secular mission
00:05:13.301 --> 00:05:16.438
Is right for him.
00:05:16.438 --> 00:05:17.872
He believes it's what he was charged to do.
00:05:17.872 --> 00:05:20.241
- my mom would always say that before i was born,
00:05:20.241 --> 00:05:23.111
I was set apart.
00:05:23.111 --> 00:05:24.379
She would say that all the time. hi, mom.
00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:27.081
But with that, i think that this is a calling of some kind
00:05:27.081 --> 00:05:31.586
And i don't think i can see myself anywhere else, honestly.
00:05:32.987 --> 00:05:36.357
It's hard here, it's not easy,
00:05:36.357 --> 00:05:38.793
But i can't see myself at any other institution.
00:05:38.793 --> 00:05:42.096
- [mark voiceover] and in a world where the sky's the limit,
00:05:42.096 --> 00:05:44.666
Space force cadets becoming officers push that boundary,
00:05:44.666 --> 00:05:48.470
Echoing their military branches song, which says,
00:05:48.470 --> 00:05:51.406
"there's no limit to our sky."
00:05:51.406 --> 00:05:53.408
♪ we're the space force from on high ♪
00:05:53.408 --> 00:05:57.545
- [mark voiceover] mark martin, "cbn news,"
00:05:57.545 --> 00:05:59.547
Colorado springs, colorado.
00:05:59.547 --> 00:06:02.450
- thank you, mark.
00:06:03.084 --> 00:06:04.018
The space force for a lot of us,
00:06:04.018 --> 00:06:05.086
It's our first look into this,
00:06:05.086 --> 00:06:06.488
And many don't even know about it.
00:06:06.488 --> 00:06:07.989
It was established in 2019, and when it was,
00:06:07.989 --> 00:06:11.125
It was the first new branch of the military in 73 years.
00:06:11.125 --> 00:06:15.964
And now it's a critical part of our defense.
00:06:15.964 --> 00:06:17.866
And you think of all the conveniences we enjoy
00:06:17.866 --> 00:06:20.034
Thanks to this technology.
00:06:20.034 --> 00:06:21.636
Mark referred to it, banking, gps, weather services,
00:06:21.636 --> 00:06:25.607
Our cellular phones, all these things.
00:06:25.607 --> 00:06:27.342
A lot riding on this.
00:06:27.342 --> 00:06:28.776
So mark, we appreciate updating us on what's going on.
00:06:28.776 --> 00:06:30.879
Ashley?
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.413
- well, coming up, the ancient city of shiloh unearthed.
00:06:32.413 --> 00:06:35.683
This is where the tabernacle stood for more than 400 years.
00:06:35.683 --> 00:06:39.587
Hannah prayed to god here asking for a son
00:06:39.587 --> 00:06:42.357
Who became the prophet samuel.
00:06:42.357 --> 00:06:44.692
"cbn news" heads to the site
00:06:44.692 --> 00:06:46.160
Of this groundbreaking discovery next.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.364
And later, surprising words from one of the actors
00:06:49.364 --> 00:06:51.966
Of "the chosen."
00:06:51.966 --> 00:06:53.501
Nick shakoour says he was ready to sweep god under the rug.
00:06:53.501 --> 00:06:57.105
But stay tuned to hear about the radical encounter
00:06:57.105 --> 00:07:00.041
That changed his life.
00:07:00.041 --> 00:07:01.643
(dramatic music)
00:07:01.643 --> 00:07:07.001
- in recent years, fascinating biblical discoveries
00:07:08.314 --> 00:07:11.083
Have been uncovered at ancient shiloh.
00:07:11.083 --> 00:07:13.853
This is where joshua divided the land between the 12 tribes,
00:07:13.853 --> 00:07:17.323
Where hannah prayed for a son,
00:07:17.323 --> 00:07:19.158
And where the tabernacle stood for 400 years.
00:07:19.158 --> 00:07:22.795
Chris mitchell brings us a firsthand look
00:07:22.795 --> 00:07:24.997
At how these discoveries are bringing the bible to life.
00:07:24.997 --> 00:07:29.101
- [chris voiceover] in 2019,
00:07:29.902 --> 00:07:31.303
"cbn news" interviewed dr. scott stripling,
00:07:31.303 --> 00:07:34.240
The director of the excavation going on in ancient shiloh.
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.843
Four years later, stripling brought us up to speed
00:07:37.843 --> 00:07:40.913
On what's happened here since we first visited this project.
00:07:40.913 --> 00:07:44.750
- tell us, we were there at season one, what's new?
00:07:44.750 --> 00:07:47.787
What's happened since then?
00:07:47.787 --> 00:07:49.255
- well, in season one,
00:07:49.255 --> 00:07:50.489
Our hypotheses were just formulating.
00:07:50.489 --> 00:07:53.392
We thought that we had a monumental building up here
00:07:53.392 --> 00:07:56.629
From the pier to the tabernacle.
00:07:56.629 --> 00:07:58.297
We thought that this could be a gate complex
00:07:58.297 --> 00:08:01.033
Because there was no glacis in this section.
00:08:01.033 --> 00:08:03.936
Since then, we've come way down,
00:08:03.936 --> 00:08:07.206
Five meters or so, maybe six meters in some places.
00:08:07.206 --> 00:08:10.743
And so now we can see the various structures that are here.
00:08:10.743 --> 00:08:14.180
And indeed, we can now say that this is very likely
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:17.583
The gate that's referred to in the bible.
00:08:17.583 --> 00:08:20.152
And that's pretty big stuff.
00:08:20.152 --> 00:08:21.520
- [chris] and what happened at the gate,
00:08:21.520 --> 00:08:22.588
Why is this so important?
00:08:22.588 --> 00:08:23.989
- well, the bible tells us that eli
00:08:23.989 --> 00:08:26.425
Is in the gate of shiloh when he gets the news
00:08:26.425 --> 00:08:29.462
That the ark of the covenant has been captured,
00:08:29.462 --> 00:08:31.163
That his sons have been killed,
00:08:31.163 --> 00:08:32.765
He falls over backwards and dies in the gate.
00:08:32.765 --> 00:08:35.701
So it's a function that's mentioned in the bible,
00:08:35.701 --> 00:08:38.904
So we were very curious if we would come across it.
00:08:38.904 --> 00:08:41.607
- [chris voiceover] shiloh was not only where
00:08:41.607 --> 00:08:43.075
Eli lived and died,
00:08:43.075 --> 00:08:44.610
But also the place where joshua divided the promised land
00:08:44.610 --> 00:08:47.980
Between the 12 tribes,
00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:49.915
Where hannah prayed for a son who became the prophet samuel,
00:08:49.915 --> 00:08:53.753
And where the tabernacle of the lord stood
00:08:53.753 --> 00:08:55.988
For nearly 400 years.
00:08:55.988 --> 00:08:58.224
Stripling gave us a tour of the site
00:08:58.224 --> 00:09:00.192
And took us to perhaps their most significant discovery.
00:09:00.192 --> 00:09:03.863
- this is where you came to connect with god.
00:09:03.863 --> 00:09:05.998
Jerusalem remains a pagan city for another 300 years.
00:09:05.998 --> 00:09:09.368
The ark is here, the tabernacle is here,
00:09:09.368 --> 00:09:12.371
And this is where you came to connect with god.
00:09:12.371 --> 00:09:15.141
- and you believe you've found actually the tabernacle.
00:09:15.141 --> 00:09:19.912
- well, you know, i'm not ready to say i know for certain,
00:09:19.912 --> 00:09:23.616
But i'll tell you what we do have,
00:09:23.616 --> 00:09:25.351
Is a building that is matching the dimensions
00:09:25.351 --> 00:09:27.820
Of the tabernacle.
00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:29.088
It's from the iron i period,
00:09:29.088 --> 00:09:31.223
Which is the tabernacle period of eli and samuel.
00:09:31.223 --> 00:09:34.527
And you're actually standing right now, chris,
00:09:34.527 --> 00:09:36.262
On this wall right here.
00:09:36.262 --> 00:09:38.230
So this entire area is this massive monumental building,
00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:42.334
Orients east-west, and it's divided on a two to one ratio
00:09:42.334 --> 00:09:45.504
Like the tabernacle was.
00:09:45.504 --> 00:09:47.306
- so, east-west is what the bible says it faced?
00:09:47.306 --> 00:09:50.676
- that's right. the bible says that.
00:09:50.676 --> 00:09:51.911
- and two to one, what does that mean?
00:09:51.911 --> 00:09:53.212
- well, the holy place and the most holy place,
00:09:53.212 --> 00:09:55.581
So the holy of holies, if we're correct in our theory,
00:09:55.581 --> 00:09:59.051
Would be right in here.
00:09:59.051 --> 00:10:00.519
This, between these walls,
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.288
Would be where the ark of the covenant was.
00:10:02.288 --> 00:10:04.623
- can we go in? - let's go.
00:10:04.623 --> 00:10:05.925
Come on.
00:10:05.925 --> 00:10:10.229
All right, so-
00:10:10.796 --> 00:10:12.164
- [chris] so, what are we walking into right now?
00:10:12.164 --> 00:10:13.399
- this is the wall that would separate
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.602
The holy from the most holy.
00:10:16.602 --> 00:10:20.005
Okay. so you're entering into the holy of holies.
00:10:20.005 --> 00:10:22.508
Alright, so there's this big wall on your right.
00:10:22.508 --> 00:10:25.377
Down here you can see where we've reached the bottom.
00:10:25.377 --> 00:10:27.847
This is preserved to 2.1 meters and this is floor level.
00:10:27.847 --> 00:10:32.484
So, this whole area in here, about where we're standing...
00:10:32.484 --> 00:10:37.256
Come on with me here.
00:10:37.256 --> 00:10:38.457
Alright, you're probably standing
00:10:38.457 --> 00:10:40.459
Where the ark of the covenant was.
00:10:40.459 --> 00:10:43.362
- wow. (laughs) - how does that suit you?
00:10:43.362 --> 00:10:45.197
- it makes me feel, well, profound for one.
00:10:45.197 --> 00:10:49.635
- well, me too. - yeah.
00:10:49.635 --> 00:10:51.704
How do you feel when you're here?
00:10:51.704 --> 00:10:53.505
- there's a sense of awe.
00:10:53.505 --> 00:10:54.940
I just have to tell you, professionally as an academic,
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:57.610
I'm in awe,
00:10:57.610 --> 00:10:59.411
And then as an evangelical christian, i'm in awe,
00:10:59.411 --> 00:11:02.381
You know, to have the privilege
00:11:02.381 --> 00:11:04.283
To be able to excavate a site like this.
00:11:04.283 --> 00:11:06.352
What i take from this is that god did something in history.
00:11:06.352 --> 00:11:10.723
He recorded it for us in the bible.
00:11:10.723 --> 00:11:13.525
We have evidence of it here.
00:11:13.525 --> 00:11:15.694
One of the great things about our faith
00:11:15.694 --> 00:11:17.363
Is that you can question it.
00:11:17.363 --> 00:11:18.764
You know, god's ego isn't bruised.
00:11:18.764 --> 00:11:20.566
People have questions, viewers do, that's honest, you know?
00:11:20.566 --> 00:11:23.235
Express those.
00:11:23.235 --> 00:11:24.770
And i would just invite people to look at that evidence.
00:11:24.770 --> 00:11:27.006
And if they've bought into the idea
00:11:27.006 --> 00:11:28.807
That the bible's mythology or it's not historical,
00:11:28.807 --> 00:11:31.911
I would encourage them to look at what we're finding
00:11:31.911 --> 00:11:34.146
Here at shiloh, read the text, pray about it,
00:11:34.146 --> 00:11:36.682
And decide for themselves.
00:11:36.682 --> 00:11:38.217
- [chris] and so, this is where the bible comes to life?
00:11:38.217 --> 00:11:39.818
- [scott] this is what we do.
00:11:39.818 --> 00:11:40.886
We don't just walk the bible,
00:11:40.886 --> 00:11:42.154
We dig the bible here at ancient shiloh.
00:11:42.154 --> 00:11:44.223
As we dig into the soil,
00:11:44.223 --> 00:11:46.025
We are literally seeing the evidence
00:11:46.025 --> 00:11:47.960
Of what life was like in biblical times.
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.095
- and nearby, you also have a bone, a site of bones.
00:11:50.095 --> 00:11:53.332
- well- - can we go see that?
00:11:53.332 --> 00:11:54.867
- i'll tell you what, we're in the bone business, chris.
00:11:54.867 --> 00:11:56.635
Come on, i'll show you what it's all about.
00:11:56.635 --> 00:11:58.137
- okay. (both laughing)
00:11:58.137 --> 00:12:00.940
- and this path is gonna lead us
00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:02.741
To where the bone deposit is that we've been talking about.
00:12:02.741 --> 00:12:05.544
So, this, the people working over here,
00:12:05.544 --> 00:12:09.615
Are doing something they'll never forget
00:12:09.615 --> 00:12:11.450
The rest of their lives.
00:12:11.450 --> 00:12:12.584
I mean, they are uncovering evidence
00:12:12.584 --> 00:12:15.120
Of the sacrificial system.
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.655
These were animals that brought expiation.
00:12:16.655 --> 00:12:19.959
I mean, it brought about the forgiveness of sin for people
00:12:19.959 --> 00:12:23.128
As they connected with god in this manner.
00:12:23.128 --> 00:12:25.698
So you'll see it for yourself, the pottery and the bones,
00:12:25.698 --> 00:12:28.400
They tell an unmistakable story
00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:30.369
That matches what we read in the biblical text.
00:12:30.369 --> 00:12:32.771
This entire area underneath our feet, chris,
00:12:32.771 --> 00:12:36.041
This is unexcavated.
00:12:36.709 --> 00:12:38.143
Underneath your feet and my feet
00:12:38.143 --> 00:12:40.145
Is about this much of solid bone
00:12:40.145 --> 00:12:43.282
Waiting to be excavated.
00:12:43.282 --> 00:12:44.783
Bone on top of bone, on top of bone.
00:12:44.783 --> 00:12:47.152
And we have microstratigraphy in this area
00:12:47.152 --> 00:12:49.254
So we can see that the deposition is laid down
00:12:49.254 --> 00:12:51.657
Over a long period of time, just like the bible says.
00:12:51.657 --> 00:12:55.461
- [chris] and what kind of bones would we find here?
00:12:55.461 --> 00:12:57.396
- [scott] sheep, goat, cattle,
00:12:57.396 --> 00:12:59.231
And disproportionately from the right side of the animal.
00:12:59.231 --> 00:13:02.234
It's like just this morning,
00:13:02.234 --> 00:13:03.736
We're seeing disproportionate jawbones
00:13:03.736 --> 00:13:05.871
From the right side as opposed to the left.
00:13:05.871 --> 00:13:07.840
- you described it before, but (indistinct),
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.641
Why is the right side so significant?
00:13:09.641 --> 00:13:12.077
- well, the priests are the ones who live here,
00:13:12.077 --> 00:13:13.779
And leviticus seven tells us
00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:15.280
That the right side of the animal is the priest's portion.
00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:18.283
So, i can't make this stuff up, you know?
00:13:18.283 --> 00:13:20.252
You got a hundred thousand bones
00:13:20.252 --> 00:13:21.787
And they're disproportionate, gimme another explanation.
00:13:21.787 --> 00:13:25.324
Just happens to coordinate with what the bible says.
00:13:25.324 --> 00:13:27.559
(shofar trumpets)
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:32.331
- [chris voiceover] a shofar sounds
00:13:33.332 --> 00:13:34.466
To mark the end of the workday.
00:13:34.466 --> 00:13:36.468
This year's dig is over,
00:13:36.468 --> 00:13:37.903
But they expect to be back on site digging
00:13:37.903 --> 00:13:40.339
For several more years.
00:13:40.339 --> 00:13:42.274
Chris mitchell, "cbn news," ancient shiloh.
00:13:42.274 --> 00:13:45.477
- thank you, chris, for that amazing report.
00:13:46.612 --> 00:13:48.180
And it just continues.
00:13:48.180 --> 00:13:49.515
You know, so many archeological discoveries
00:13:49.515 --> 00:13:51.950
Continue to come out of israel,
00:13:51.950 --> 00:13:54.420
Proving the truth of god's word
00:13:54.420 --> 00:13:57.122
And really bringing the bible to life.
00:13:57.122 --> 00:13:58.791
So thank you so much for that report, chris. andrew?
00:13:58.791 --> 00:14:01.427
- alright everyone, what's still ahead,
00:14:01.427 --> 00:14:02.728
A frantic young woman leaves a friend's house
00:14:02.728 --> 00:14:04.730
In the middle of the night.
00:14:04.730 --> 00:14:06.165
She's found hours later thrown from her car.
00:14:06.165 --> 00:14:09.168
See how her miraculous recovery inspired
00:14:09.168 --> 00:14:11.904
An entire community.
00:14:11.904 --> 00:14:13.405
And ashley and i will be praying for you later on the show.
00:14:13.405 --> 00:14:16.241
And up next, the actor in a role downloaded to him by god.
00:14:16.241 --> 00:14:21.113
"the chosen's" nick shakoour
00:14:21.113 --> 00:14:22.681
Thought he had bombed his audition.
00:14:22.681 --> 00:14:24.783
Instead, he got the role of the father of james and john.
00:14:24.783 --> 00:14:28.020
Nick shares how his character radically transformed
00:14:28.020 --> 00:14:30.956
His real life.
00:14:30.956 --> 00:14:32.391
That's right after this.
00:14:32.391 --> 00:14:33.225
Stay with us.
00:14:33.225 --> 00:14:34.126
(uplifting music)
00:14:34.126 --> 00:14:40.165
- "oracles of god: the story of the new testament"
00:14:41.467 --> 00:14:44.169
Shows you how the words of jesus were passed down
00:14:44.169 --> 00:14:47.239
From his earliest disciples into your hands today.
00:14:47.239 --> 00:14:51.009
This gripping film captures all the drama, the danger,
00:14:51.009 --> 00:14:54.346
And the divine power behind the book that changed the world.
00:14:54.346 --> 00:14:58.851
- this film is a great, nice, easy introduction
00:14:58.851 --> 00:15:01.920
To the new testament.
00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:03.188
Everybody loves these biblical stories,
00:15:03.188 --> 00:15:04.723
So we're just gonna go back and say,
00:15:04.723 --> 00:15:06.125
What is the origin story of these stories?
00:15:06.125 --> 00:15:08.293
How did we get them?
00:15:08.293 --> 00:15:09.695
How did matthew and mark and luke write things down?
00:15:09.695 --> 00:15:12.865
We have this unbelievable interest in the bible now.
00:15:12.865 --> 00:15:16.235
Bible sales last year were up 22%, this year, up 36%.
00:15:16.235 --> 00:15:21.073
Who knew that this was gonna be
00:15:21.073 --> 00:15:22.307
What "the wall street journal" calls
00:15:22.307 --> 00:15:23.709
The golden age of bible publishing right now?
00:15:23.709 --> 00:15:26.478
So what an amazing time to release this movie.
00:15:26.478 --> 00:15:28.380
God knew what he was doing.

James and john.
00:15:44.225 --> 00:15:45.759
Nick shakoour plays the role of zebedee on "the chosen,"
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.429
And recently, i had the chance to sit down with nick
00:15:48.429 --> 00:15:51.065
And he told me how playing this role
00:15:51.065 --> 00:15:52.967
Has literally changed his life
00:15:52.967 --> 00:15:55.102
And led to a powerful personal encounter with jesus.
00:15:55.102 --> 00:16:00.040
- i'll take the fish into market
00:16:00.874 --> 00:16:02.676
And settle up simon's debt.
00:16:02.676 --> 00:16:04.278
I'll get some help to fill both of these boats.
00:16:04.278 --> 00:16:07.014
- are you sure?
00:16:07.014 --> 00:16:08.249
- yes, go.
00:16:08.782 --> 00:16:09.883
- what will you tell eema?
00:16:09.883 --> 00:16:11.118
- (laughs) we've just been called
00:16:11.118 --> 00:16:13.187
By the man we've prayed for our entire lives,
00:16:13.187 --> 00:16:15.556
And you ask me what will i say when you miss supper?
00:16:15.556 --> 00:16:18.626
(laughs) go, now.
00:16:18.626 --> 00:16:21.328
(water splashing) (gentle music)
00:16:21.328 --> 00:16:24.231
- nick, thank you so much for chatting with me.
00:16:24.231 --> 00:16:26.667
I've been sharing with individuals
00:16:26.667 --> 00:16:27.935
That i am like a super fan of the show,
00:16:27.935 --> 00:16:30.871
So, i'm so excited to just chat with you today.
00:16:30.871 --> 00:16:33.374
- that's so cool. - yeah.
00:16:33.374 --> 00:16:34.908
And how has this role playing zebedee,
00:16:34.908 --> 00:16:37.778
The father of james and john, two disciples of jesus,
00:16:37.778 --> 00:16:41.248
How has that affected you personally?
00:16:41.248 --> 00:16:43.417
- it gave me insight that i never thought i'd have
00:16:43.417 --> 00:16:47.154
Into what it's like to be a dad.
00:16:47.154 --> 00:16:49.256
I'm not a dad in real life,
00:16:49.256 --> 00:16:51.191
But when i stepped into the role
00:16:51.191 --> 00:16:52.893
And i've told people it was downloaded to me from god,
00:16:52.893 --> 00:16:56.397
Like it was a literal download when i got the script.
00:16:56.397 --> 00:16:59.466
I didn't do script analysis,
00:16:59.466 --> 00:17:02.202
Actually, i was careless in the audition
00:17:02.202 --> 00:17:04.371
And i thought i bombed it.
00:17:04.371 --> 00:17:06.774
And playing him has given me a strong taste
00:17:06.774 --> 00:17:11.178
Of what it's like to step into the shoes of a loving father.
00:17:11.178 --> 00:17:15.582
And that's why i kind of,
00:17:15.582 --> 00:17:16.850
I give all credence and credit to god
00:17:16.850 --> 00:17:19.620
Because i don't know what it's like,
00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:21.221
So, how am i playing that so well
00:17:21.221 --> 00:17:24.158
If it isn't him inspiring me to do that?
00:17:24.158 --> 00:17:26.060
- okay, so talk about your faith.
00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:27.895
I mean, has your faith really grown
00:17:27.895 --> 00:17:29.797
As you've been a part of "the chosen?"
00:17:29.797 --> 00:17:31.965
- when i was younger, my grandfather was a greek priest,
00:17:31.965 --> 00:17:34.234
So i grew up greek orthodox.
00:17:34.234 --> 00:17:35.869
But as life does,
00:17:35.869 --> 00:17:37.504
It takes you through a series of challenges and trials
00:17:37.504 --> 00:17:39.640
And it causes your heart to start to turn into a rock
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.643
And you start to experience an inner battle.
00:17:42.643 --> 00:17:45.212
When i first signed up to do "the chosen,"
00:17:45.212 --> 00:17:46.980
And had a conversation with god and told him,
00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:48.849
"you probably don't even exist,"
00:17:48.849 --> 00:17:50.651
Because of where i was at.
00:17:50.651 --> 00:17:52.486
And something in me opened up,
00:17:52.486 --> 00:17:53.887
It was like a black hole started to open up
00:17:53.887 --> 00:17:55.856
And swallow me alive.
00:17:55.856 --> 00:17:57.925
And i heard my heart call out, say,
00:17:57.925 --> 00:17:59.493
"if you don't call out to god right now,
00:17:59.493 --> 00:18:00.961
This is about to get really bad."
00:18:00.961 --> 00:18:02.663
And i'm invited to this conference
00:18:02.663 --> 00:18:04.264
By two of our construction blueprint designers,
00:18:04.264 --> 00:18:07.735
Seth and brandon.
00:18:07.735 --> 00:18:08.936
And i thought, "well, what is it?"
00:18:08.936 --> 00:18:10.904
And they're like, "you know, we get together, we pray."
00:18:10.904 --> 00:18:13.407
And i'm like, "okay."
00:18:13.407 --> 00:18:15.576
And my heart said, you should go.
00:18:15.576 --> 00:18:17.511
And so i went,
00:18:17.511 --> 00:18:19.079
I walk in and i'm like, okay, people are twirling around
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.014
Like ballerinas and swinging side to side.
00:18:21.014 --> 00:18:24.618
This is so weird.
00:18:24.618 --> 00:18:25.786
- (laughs) oh, man.
00:18:25.786 --> 00:18:27.054
- and i was kind of jaded at that point,
00:18:27.054 --> 00:18:28.622
So that's how i was seeing all of it.
00:18:28.622 --> 00:18:30.424
I was like, "okay, we're an hour in.
00:18:30.424 --> 00:18:32.793
I'm gonna put my head down and i'm gonna pray."
00:18:32.793 --> 00:18:35.095
And i started in my heart asking god
00:18:35.095 --> 00:18:36.730
To remove this burden that was,
00:18:36.730 --> 00:18:38.732
I feel transferred to me from my family
00:18:38.732 --> 00:18:40.601
Because of the war torn country that we're from
00:18:40.601 --> 00:18:43.237
In beirut, lebanon.
00:18:43.237 --> 00:18:44.705
And so i said, "lord, whatever this is i'm carrying,
00:18:44.705 --> 00:18:47.141
I want it off of me."
00:18:47.141 --> 00:18:48.776
20 minutes doesn't even go by,
00:18:48.776 --> 00:18:50.978
My buddy seth, who invited me, his son comes over behind me
00:18:50.978 --> 00:18:54.415
From like 40 feet away, taps me on the shoulder and says,
00:18:54.415 --> 00:18:57.684
"i want you to know i was praying for you from back there.
00:18:57.684 --> 00:19:00.654
And god told me to tell you that..."
00:19:00.654 --> 00:19:02.956
It's crazy.
00:19:03.490 --> 00:19:04.825
"by showing up tonight,
00:19:04.825 --> 00:19:06.326
You broke your family's generational curse."
00:19:06.326 --> 00:19:08.695
- wow. wow.
00:19:08.695 --> 00:19:10.464
- and that was the first kind of like peg
00:19:10.464 --> 00:19:12.266
That knocked me off my balance that i lost it.
00:19:12.266 --> 00:19:16.003
I was like, "of all the things
00:19:16.003 --> 00:19:16.970
You could have told me, what?"
00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:18.872
And then later on, the pastor,
00:19:18.872 --> 00:19:21.308
She got up on stage and said, "okay,
00:19:21.308 --> 00:19:22.743
I want everybody to get on their knees
00:19:22.743 --> 00:19:24.144
And bury their idols."
00:19:24.144 --> 00:19:25.746
And i stood there, i was like, "i don't have any idols."
00:19:25.746 --> 00:19:28.882
And then the heart came in
00:19:28.882 --> 00:19:30.384
And this voice came through really strongly this time
00:19:30.384 --> 00:19:32.553
And said, "yeah, you do actually, your acting career,
00:19:32.553 --> 00:19:37.257
Your voiceover, your mom, your dad, your brother-in-law,
00:19:37.257 --> 00:19:40.294
Your sisters, your sister, your other sister's boyfriend,
00:19:40.294 --> 00:19:43.630
Your bank accounts, oh, your jeep commander, your car,
00:19:43.630 --> 00:19:47.067
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, and you've put them all before me."
00:19:47.067 --> 00:19:51.338
And i was like, "ouch, that really hurt."
00:19:51.338 --> 00:19:53.407
I got on my knee.
00:19:53.407 --> 00:19:54.842
For the first time in my life,
00:19:55.676 --> 00:19:59.079
I genuinely gave them all to god,
00:19:59.947 --> 00:20:02.850
As in this is my offering to you.
00:20:02.850 --> 00:20:06.253
Because i've been on this show, i've been hearing about you,
00:20:06.253 --> 00:20:09.389
I've been hearing about these parables,
00:20:09.389 --> 00:20:11.592
And i just wanna be with you now.
00:20:11.592 --> 00:20:13.327
So i gave him everything. (exhales sharply)
00:20:14.528 --> 00:20:18.732
It amalgamated into nine people placing their hands on me,
00:20:20.100 --> 00:20:24.738
Kind of ganging up on me,
00:20:24.738 --> 00:20:26.440
And one of their elders coming up with anointing oil,
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.744
Like the irony.
00:20:30.744 --> 00:20:31.745
- wow.
00:20:31.745 --> 00:20:32.980
- anointing my forehead, my palms.
00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:35.048
Next thing i know he was praying over me in tongues.
00:20:35.048 --> 00:20:37.818
And from... (exhales sharply)
00:20:37.818 --> 00:20:40.854
From the bottom of my feet to the top of my head,
00:20:40.854 --> 00:20:43.123
It was like fire was passing through and burning everything
00:20:43.123 --> 00:20:46.093
That i had in me away,
00:20:46.093 --> 00:20:47.928
To where i was gonna ask them to call 911.
00:20:47.928 --> 00:20:49.897
It was like, "whoa, i'm getting dizzy, what's going on?"
00:20:49.897 --> 00:20:53.200
And it was frightening.
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.468
It wasn't like, "oh, it felt good and it was..."
00:20:54.468 --> 00:20:56.570
No, it was,
00:20:56.570 --> 00:20:58.739
I felt god's presence and it was frightening.
00:20:58.739 --> 00:21:01.875
- wow.
00:21:01.875 --> 00:21:02.809
- so i understood what it meant,
00:21:02.809 --> 00:21:03.710
Oh, the fear of the lord.
00:21:03.710 --> 00:21:04.845
- yes. yeah. - it was like... (gasps)
00:21:04.845 --> 00:21:06.380
He could kill me at any second like this if he wanted to.
00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:08.649
He could just evaporate me.
00:21:08.649 --> 00:21:10.217
And it got to a point where
00:21:11.018 --> 00:21:12.819
I felt like i was being microwaved and vibrated
00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:15.088
At the same time,
00:21:15.088 --> 00:21:16.757
And then eventually just dipped into water
00:21:16.757 --> 00:21:18.425
Before my body couldn't handle any more burning.
00:21:18.425 --> 00:21:21.728
I felt like my skin was gonna explode off my body.
00:21:21.728 --> 00:21:25.065
And then i was submerged in an ocean,
00:21:25.065 --> 00:21:27.167
And then all the prayers went very muffled,
00:21:27.167 --> 00:21:30.203
And then all of a sudden i was just pulled up, it felt,
00:21:31.572 --> 00:21:34.074
And then everything was just still.
00:21:35.075 --> 00:21:37.177
And it felt so weird
00:21:37.177 --> 00:21:38.478
Because i didn't feel like myself anymore.
00:21:38.478 --> 00:21:40.414
And since then, it's been one encounter after the next.
00:21:41.815 --> 00:21:45.252
And it went from, "oh, i have faith,"
00:21:45.252 --> 00:21:47.788
To, "i don't have faith anymore, i don't need it
00:21:47.788 --> 00:21:49.523
'cause like i met him."
00:21:49.523 --> 00:21:50.791
And i jokingly said like, "i know the guy."
00:21:50.791 --> 00:21:53.093
- come on. - like, i know him.
00:21:53.093 --> 00:21:54.161
- that's so powerful.
00:21:54.161 --> 00:21:55.395
- because he's in me and he's around me
00:21:55.395 --> 00:21:56.697
And all i have to do is address him
00:21:56.697 --> 00:21:58.065
And he's literally right there.
00:21:58.065 --> 00:21:59.566
He's literally right there.
00:21:59.566 --> 00:22:00.701
And i've never...
00:22:00.701 --> 00:22:01.969
I've never experienced god like that.
00:22:01.969 --> 00:22:04.338
So took it from, you know, from what it was to relationship,
00:22:05.739 --> 00:22:10.310
Where it's like now, i want nothing but to be around him
00:22:11.712 --> 00:22:12.913
All day long.
00:22:12.913 --> 00:22:14.281
- so, we heard that something really special,
00:22:14.281 --> 00:22:17.117
Really amazing and cool happened in zebedee's house.
00:22:17.117 --> 00:22:20.754
Tell us more about that.
00:22:20.754 --> 00:22:21.989
- yeah, so after the encounter happens,
00:22:21.989 --> 00:22:25.325
I'm just discombobulated
00:22:25.325 --> 00:22:26.827
'cause i'm searching for the anger and the frustration
00:22:26.827 --> 00:22:30.097
And the hurt and i'm like, "it's not there anymore!"
00:22:30.097 --> 00:22:33.367
Two of the construction guys hear what happened to me,
00:22:33.367 --> 00:22:35.836
John hart and michael singh,
00:22:35.836 --> 00:22:38.071
And they were the lead construction guys
00:22:38.071 --> 00:22:40.273
For the biblical town that we shot in.
00:22:40.273 --> 00:22:42.309
And john tells me, he says, "you know,
00:22:42.309 --> 00:22:44.678
You've heard that we've written scripture all over the walls
00:22:44.678 --> 00:22:47.014
In the homes, right?
00:22:47.014 --> 00:22:48.515
Do you know it was one of my guys that heard from god
00:22:48.515 --> 00:22:50.617
To write the scripture on the walls?"
00:22:50.617 --> 00:22:52.653
And i said, "yeah, yeah,
00:22:52.653 --> 00:22:53.820
I think i heard something like that."
00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:56.923
And he said, "you know whose home it started in?"
00:22:56.923 --> 00:22:58.859
And i said, "no."
00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:00.260
He was... (exhales sharply)
00:23:00.260 --> 00:23:02.496
He was like, "it started in zebedee's home."
00:23:02.496 --> 00:23:04.865
- wow. - and i said, "what?"
00:23:04.865 --> 00:23:06.266
And we're sitting there eating steak at prime 115's,
00:23:06.266 --> 00:23:09.069
Really good spot.
00:23:09.069 --> 00:23:10.370
And i said, "what?"
00:23:10.370 --> 00:23:13.073
And he said, "it started in your home,
00:23:13.073 --> 00:23:16.009
And then the scriptures spread
00:23:16.009 --> 00:23:17.177
To the other characters' homes."
00:23:17.177 --> 00:23:18.879
And i'm just sitting there frozen, i couldn't eat anymore
00:23:20.280 --> 00:23:21.982
Because i'd already been through so much, i'm like,
00:23:21.982 --> 00:23:24.918
"i don't need to hear this right now
00:23:24.918 --> 00:23:26.486
Because this is now too much."
00:23:26.486 --> 00:23:28.055
- (laughs) i can't eat my steak.
00:23:28.055 --> 00:23:29.556
- like, i couldn't even finish.
00:23:29.556 --> 00:23:31.058
And he said, "you know, we got together as a crew
00:23:31.058 --> 00:23:34.695
When we broke ground to build those homes,
00:23:34.695 --> 00:23:37.731
That we prayed for one of the actors
00:23:37.731 --> 00:23:39.566
To receive the holy spirit
00:23:39.566 --> 00:23:41.668
And would become the seed to spread the gospel."
00:23:41.668 --> 00:23:44.438
And he points at me with tears in his eyes,
00:23:44.438 --> 00:23:46.473
This big burly bearded guy.
00:23:46.473 --> 00:23:48.675
And he goes, "and you're gonna be that seed and you're..."
00:23:48.675 --> 00:23:52.112
(nick exhales sharply)
00:23:52.112 --> 00:23:53.113
(nick sniffling)
00:23:53.113 --> 00:23:57.751
It gets me worked up because
00:23:58.552 --> 00:24:00.721
I was about to sweep god under the rug.
00:24:01.822 --> 00:24:05.525
And for this to happen is,
00:24:06.293 --> 00:24:10.497
Has blown my mind beyond belief.
00:24:11.298 --> 00:24:14.301
God did this to the loudmouth voice actor who's blabbing it
00:24:14.301 --> 00:24:18.438
On set in between takes.
00:24:18.438 --> 00:24:19.940
(ashley laughing)
00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:21.475
Because i can't help but to talk about how mind-blowing
00:24:21.475 --> 00:24:24.144
This was.
00:24:24.144 --> 00:24:25.545
So, i know people that might be watching it,
00:24:25.545 --> 00:24:27.013
It might sound absolutely crazy,
00:24:27.013 --> 00:24:28.782
And i identify with that
00:24:28.782 --> 00:24:30.484
Because i was the one (exhales sharply) back in the day,
00:24:30.484 --> 00:24:35.555
Even though i believed,
00:24:36.223 --> 00:24:37.457
But i would sort of poke fun at people
00:24:37.457 --> 00:24:39.826
That were so into jesus
00:24:39.826 --> 00:24:41.695
And why are you so into him like that?
00:24:41.695 --> 00:24:44.097
I didn't understand.
00:24:44.097 --> 00:24:45.932
People should know, even when i confronted him
00:24:45.932 --> 00:24:48.368
And i said, while i'm talking to him,
00:24:48.368 --> 00:24:50.437
"you probably don't even exist."
00:24:50.437 --> 00:24:52.472
He still came after me in this way.
00:24:52.472 --> 00:24:55.041
So, if people think, "oh, i'm not good enough for him to..."
00:24:55.041 --> 00:24:59.446
(nick exhales sharply)
00:25:00.147 --> 00:25:02.883
It's like, he wants you because you're not good enough.
00:25:02.883 --> 00:25:06.153
- yeah, yeah.
00:25:06.153 --> 00:25:07.320
- so then he can make you good enough.
00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:09.723
Once this happens to you, there's no going back.
00:25:09.723 --> 00:25:12.793
- amen. there's no going back.
00:25:12.793 --> 00:25:14.861
- there's no going back. - you're different.
00:25:14.861 --> 00:25:16.897
You're different.
00:25:16.897 --> 00:25:18.064
- it's, yeah, it's mind-blowing.
00:25:18.064 --> 00:25:20.400
- thank you so much, nick. - yeah.
00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:21.802
- [ashley] wow. thank you so much.
00:25:21.802 --> 00:25:22.869
- yeah. - god bless you.
00:25:22.869 --> 00:25:25.405
That is actually one of my favorite interviews
00:25:26.573 --> 00:25:28.708
I've ever done.
00:25:28.708 --> 00:25:29.943
The holy spirit was just in that room.
00:25:29.943 --> 00:25:31.878
And i don't know about you,
00:25:31.878 --> 00:25:33.146
But i can just feel the joy of the lord
00:25:33.146 --> 00:25:36.249
When i'm watching that.
00:25:36.249 --> 00:25:37.951
And if you're watching this right now
00:25:37.951 --> 00:25:39.519
And maybe you don't have a relationship with god,
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:42.656
You've heard about god,
00:25:42.656 --> 00:25:44.224
Maybe you're like nick, you grew up in a certain orthodox
00:25:44.224 --> 00:25:47.561
Or you've heard about jesus, you've heard about god,
00:25:47.561 --> 00:25:49.930
But you've never had a personal encounter
00:25:49.930 --> 00:25:52.999
With him like nick has,
00:25:52.999 --> 00:25:55.068
Or you've never had a personal relationship
00:25:55.068 --> 00:25:57.637
With your creator.
00:25:57.637 --> 00:25:59.840
Nick said, "i was ready to sweep god under the rug,"
00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:04.878
And then he was handed this,
00:26:05.712 --> 00:26:07.314
This job to be the father of the disciples, james and john.
00:26:07.314 --> 00:26:12.085
And it literally transformed his life.
00:26:12.085 --> 00:26:15.255
And prayers were answered
00:26:15.255 --> 00:26:16.790
And it was like a snowball effect
00:26:16.790 --> 00:26:18.758
Of one thing after the other, after the other.
00:26:18.758 --> 00:26:20.994
And here he is, these words coming out of his mouth,
00:26:20.994 --> 00:26:24.464
The guy who said, "i was ready to sweep god under the rug,"
00:26:24.464 --> 00:26:27.033
He's saying, "i don't even need faith anymore
00:26:27.033 --> 00:26:29.970
Because i know god.
00:26:29.970 --> 00:26:31.705
I met him."
00:26:31.705 --> 00:26:33.273
He has that much assurance in our heavenly father
00:26:33.273 --> 00:26:38.345
And our savior, jesus christ.
00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:40.447
My friends, you can have that confidence too.
00:26:40.447 --> 00:26:43.850
It doesn't matter how far you've gone,
00:26:43.850 --> 00:26:46.653
How much you've sinned, how hard your heart is.
00:26:46.653 --> 00:26:50.390
I believe god is literally softening your heart right now
00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:54.327
By the power of the holy spirit.
00:26:54.327 --> 00:26:56.096
And he's using this moment, he's using nick's testimony
00:26:56.096 --> 00:27:00.400
To draw you closer and closer to him.
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.804
I wanna read you some scripture
00:27:04.804 --> 00:27:06.306
Because the word of god says that scripture is powerful
00:27:06.306 --> 00:27:09.409
And it's as sharp as a two-edged sword.
00:27:09.409 --> 00:27:11.278
It pierces our hearts.
00:27:11.278 --> 00:27:13.246
This is ezekiel 36:26.
00:27:13.246 --> 00:27:15.382
"i will give you a new heart
00:27:15.382 --> 00:27:17.984
And put a new spirit in you.
00:27:17.984 --> 00:27:21.187
I will remove from you your heart of stone
00:27:21.187 --> 00:27:24.391
And give you a heart of flesh."
00:27:24.391 --> 00:27:27.894
Is your heart hardened from all of the pain,
00:27:27.894 --> 00:27:31.531
All of the suffering, all of the sin,
00:27:31.531 --> 00:27:34.334
All of the brokenness in your life?
00:27:34.334 --> 00:27:36.670
Listen, god wants to put those broken pieces together.
00:27:37.971 --> 00:27:41.641
He wants to make you whole.
00:27:41.641 --> 00:27:43.643
He wants to redeem you.
00:27:43.643 --> 00:27:45.512
He wants to give you a heart of flesh.
00:27:45.512 --> 00:27:49.015
That's what we were created for, not a heart of stone,
00:27:49.015 --> 00:27:52.819
Not lives completely separated from our heavenly creator.
00:27:52.819 --> 00:27:56.489
No, jesus came and died on the cross
00:27:56.489 --> 00:27:59.359
And resurrected three days later
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:01.695
And sits at the right hand of the father
00:28:01.695 --> 00:28:03.964
So that you and me can go boldly to the throne room of grace
00:28:03.964 --> 00:28:09.035
And cry out, abba, and have that confidence
00:28:10.203 --> 00:28:13.640
That your heavenly father hears you.
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.976
He will answer you because he loves you.
00:28:15.976 --> 00:28:19.412
He set this plan in motion even before you were born,
00:28:19.412 --> 00:28:23.083
Even before the foundations of the world were set in place.
00:28:23.083 --> 00:28:27.454
So if you want a personal relationship with your savior,
00:28:27.454 --> 00:28:31.691
Now is the time.
00:28:31.691 --> 00:28:34.227
Today is the day where you can give god your heart of stone
00:28:34.227 --> 00:28:39.299
And you can receive a heart of flesh,
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:42.068
You can receive the holy spirit,
00:28:42.068 --> 00:28:44.504
You can receive your savior in your heart like never before.
00:28:44.504 --> 00:28:49.409
Pray this simple prayer with me right now.
00:28:49.409 --> 00:28:52.245
Position your heart to surrender.
00:28:52.245 --> 00:28:54.714
Maybe get on your knees, get on the floor, bow your head,
00:28:54.714 --> 00:28:57.851
Open your hands, ready to receive what god has for you,
00:28:57.851 --> 00:29:02.689
Which is himself.
00:29:02.689 --> 00:29:04.257
So pray with me right now.
00:29:04.257 --> 00:29:06.292
Heavenly father, i cry out to you, lord jesus.
00:29:06.292 --> 00:29:11.364
I surrender to you.
00:29:12.032 --> 00:29:14.634
God, i am done living life my way,
00:29:14.634 --> 00:29:18.872
Living a life without you.
00:29:18.872 --> 00:29:21.975
Jesus, i believe in my heart
00:29:21.975 --> 00:29:25.678
That you died on the cross for the forgiveness of my sins
00:29:25.678 --> 00:29:29.182
And the sins of this world.
00:29:29.182 --> 00:29:31.184
And i believe that you resurrected three days later
00:29:31.184 --> 00:29:34.821
And that you're seated at the right hand of the father
00:29:34.821 --> 00:29:37.223
Interceding for me right now, even in this moment.
00:29:37.223 --> 00:29:41.194
Heavenly father, i give my life to you.
00:29:41.194 --> 00:29:43.897
I don't wanna sweep you under the rug anymore.
00:29:45.065 --> 00:29:47.801
I wanna know without a shadow of a doubt that you are real
00:29:47.801 --> 00:29:52.405
And that you love me and you will never leave me
00:29:52.405 --> 00:29:56.142
Or forsake me.
00:29:56.142 --> 00:29:57.377
I declare with my mouth, jesus is lord,
00:29:58.511 --> 00:30:02.849
And i believe in my heart that he resurrected.
00:30:02.849 --> 00:30:05.819
So thank you jesus for saving me.
00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:07.854
Thank you jesus for setting me free.
00:30:07.854 --> 00:30:10.123
Today, i am yours forevermore.
00:30:10.123 --> 00:30:12.559
Continue to transform my mind, transform my heart, my body
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.630
To be in alignment with your will.
00:30:18.598 --> 00:30:20.767
Thank you, jesus, for what you're doing in my life.
00:30:20.767 --> 00:30:23.603
Continue to speak through me through the holy spirit
00:30:23.603 --> 00:30:26.473
That now lives inside of me.
00:30:26.473 --> 00:30:28.708
Thank you, god.
00:30:28.708 --> 00:30:30.176
I love you, lord.
00:30:30.176 --> 00:30:31.478
I choose you from this moment forward.
00:30:31.478 --> 00:30:35.315
In the name of jesus i ask and pray all this.
00:30:35.315 --> 00:30:38.218
Amen and amen.
00:30:38.218 --> 00:30:40.320
My friends, today is a new day.
00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:43.389

God bless you guys. andrew?
00:31:18.858 --> 00:31:20.593
- amen. thank you, ashley.
00:31:20.593 --> 00:31:22.028
Powerful interview.
00:31:22.028 --> 00:31:23.596
And so many people today have found hope in jesus christ.
00:31:23.596 --> 00:31:26.566
Amen.
00:31:26.566 --> 00:31:27.867
Well, up next, she was so stressed about money,
00:31:27.867 --> 00:31:29.602
She got shingles and lost her job.
00:31:29.602 --> 00:31:32.071
Her husband was struggling to get a start in real estate.
00:31:32.071 --> 00:31:34.707
Watch how they closed on a whopping $5 million in sales
00:31:34.707 --> 00:31:39.412
By the end of the year.
00:31:39.412 --> 00:31:40.480
That's coming up after this.
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:42.315
(uplifting music)
00:31:42.315 --> 00:31:45.318
- it's satisfying to win games in the nfl,
00:31:46.486 --> 00:31:49.522
And i think ultimately knowing as a follower of christ
00:31:49.522 --> 00:31:51.524
That our ultimate satisfaction comes from christ.
00:31:51.524 --> 00:31:54.427
Football is an amazing game, but it's a terrible god.
00:31:54.427 --> 00:31:58.131
If we put all our identity in it,
00:31:58.131 --> 00:31:59.899
It'll let us down at times and so continue to rely on him.
00:31:59.899 --> 00:32:02.502
If it wasn't for jesus, i wouldn't be where i am.
00:32:02.502 --> 00:32:05.004
I just thank god that i'm not where i was before.
00:32:05.004 --> 00:32:07.774
And i just think that's the process,
00:32:07.774 --> 00:32:09.609
Sanctification is an ongoing thing.
00:32:09.609 --> 00:32:11.778
It's just an ongoing process
00:32:11.778 --> 00:32:13.213
Of wanting to become more like christ.
00:32:13.213 --> 00:32:15.648
Just like the word says, you know, if we draw near to god,
00:32:15.648 --> 00:32:17.550
He'll draw near to us.
00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:19.018
When i start my day in the word, and come in to work,
00:32:19.018 --> 00:32:22.021
I have a heavenly perspective in a way
00:32:22.021 --> 00:32:24.324
To impact somebody's life,
00:32:24.324 --> 00:32:25.692
To to serve him, to serve the kingdom.
00:32:25.692 --> 00:32:27.860
When adversity hits and it strikes in the game,
00:32:27.860 --> 00:32:29.996
It's easy to, you know,
00:32:29.996 --> 00:32:32.265
You can freak out and it could be something going wrong
00:32:32.265 --> 00:32:35.001
Or something like that,
00:32:35.001 --> 00:32:35.935
But he really keeps me calm
00:32:35.935 --> 00:32:37.370
And steady throughout the game.
00:32:37.370 --> 00:32:38.905
Day in and day out, that's the reason you're here,
00:32:38.905 --> 00:32:41.107
Is to impact souls for the kingdom
00:32:41.107 --> 00:32:43.042
And to be a blessing to others.
00:32:43.042 --> 00:32:44.003
That's 800-492-1380.
00:32:44.003 --> 00:32:46.199
- amber lost her job just before she married john,
00:32:47.433 --> 00:32:50.737
And that put the couple in a financial bind
00:32:50.737 --> 00:32:52.839
Right from the start.
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.440
Still, both of them agreed 90% of their income with god
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.211
Was better than 100% without him.
00:32:58.211 --> 00:33:02.115
- [voiceover] after college, john and amber mccann
00:33:03.416 --> 00:33:05.385
Met at church in new orleans.
00:33:05.385 --> 00:33:07.220
A short time later, amber was on a cruise with friends
00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:10.289
When john flew out to surprise her
00:33:10.289 --> 00:33:12.725
And proposed at a port of call.
00:33:12.725 --> 00:33:14.994
- i was on the beach as she got off the boat
00:33:14.994 --> 00:33:18.231
And i had big signs asking her will she marry me.
00:33:18.231 --> 00:33:20.633
She looked like she saw a ghost
00:33:20.633 --> 00:33:21.968
'cause she wasn't expecting to see me there.
00:33:21.968 --> 00:33:24.470
- [voiceover] now engaged,
00:33:24.470 --> 00:33:25.872
John was transitioning from a marketing position
00:33:25.872 --> 00:33:27.707
Into real estate.
00:33:27.707 --> 00:33:28.975
Amber was doing well in the restaurant business.
00:33:28.975 --> 00:33:31.577
Then right before they married, the pandemic hit.
00:33:31.577 --> 00:33:34.547
Amber lost her job.
00:33:34.547 --> 00:33:36.582
- new orleans is big on hospitality and so,
00:33:36.582 --> 00:33:40.520
All of that was affected
00:33:40.520 --> 00:33:42.121
So i couldn't even go out and find a new job.
00:33:42.121 --> 00:33:45.024
- [voiceover] soon they were married
00:33:45.024 --> 00:33:46.225
And living on just one income.
00:33:46.225 --> 00:33:48.327
For john it was a challenge.
00:33:48.327 --> 00:33:50.062
He was working 60 to 80 hours a week,
00:33:50.062 --> 00:33:52.398
And had over $100,000 of student loans looming.
00:33:52.398 --> 00:33:56.536
- the end of the month,
00:33:56.536 --> 00:33:57.804
There literally was like a few dollars left.
00:33:57.804 --> 00:34:01.174
There was like no margin between the bills that we had
00:34:01.174 --> 00:34:05.344
And the income that i was making.
00:34:05.344 --> 00:34:06.712
So it was very stressful for me as a husband,
00:34:06.712 --> 00:34:09.048
As someone that wants to be able to provide
00:34:09.048 --> 00:34:10.917
For their household.
00:34:10.917 --> 00:34:11.884
I mean, i literally, i got sick.
00:34:11.884 --> 00:34:13.786
I got shingles because i was so stressed out.
00:34:13.786 --> 00:34:16.789
- [voiceover] despite their financial instability,
00:34:16.789 --> 00:34:19.091
They never stopped tithing,
00:34:19.091 --> 00:34:21.160
A concept they both learned growing up.
00:34:21.160 --> 00:34:23.863
- one thing that we always believe is like,
00:34:23.863 --> 00:34:26.532
90% of our income with god is better than a hundred percent
00:34:26.532 --> 00:34:31.604
Of our income without god.
00:34:32.371 --> 00:34:33.673
So we always wanted to make sure that we tithed
00:34:33.673 --> 00:34:36.409
And i do believe that i was being tested with my giving.
00:34:36.409 --> 00:34:40.079
Am i still gonna give,
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:41.681
Although i still haven't sold my first house yet, you know?
00:34:41.681 --> 00:34:44.851
- it goes against your comfort.
00:34:44.851 --> 00:34:46.686
But i can honestly say that each time i've had to do that,
00:34:46.686 --> 00:34:50.490
God has always met me on the other side.
00:34:50.490 --> 00:34:53.092
- [voiceover] so they continued to give with expectation
00:34:53.092 --> 00:34:55.695
And after several months,
00:34:55.695 --> 00:34:57.296
John sold his first home as a licensed real estate agent.
00:34:57.296 --> 00:35:01.234
- it was just like, (gasps) we could breathe.
00:35:01.234 --> 00:35:03.903
Thank you, jesus.
00:35:03.903 --> 00:35:05.538
And then after that, within that first sale,
00:35:05.538 --> 00:35:08.274
By the end of the year,
00:35:08.274 --> 00:35:09.642
I had closed on nearly five million in sales.
00:35:09.642 --> 00:35:11.644
- i don't think that john and i would be
00:35:11.644 --> 00:35:13.513
In the financial position we are
00:35:13.513 --> 00:35:15.348
If we hadn't given and if we hadn't tithed.
00:35:15.348 --> 00:35:19.018
- [voiceover] today, amber helps john with real estate
00:35:19.018 --> 00:35:21.487
And has a successful faith and lifestyle youtube channel.
00:35:21.487 --> 00:35:24.824
The couple is doing better than ever.
00:35:24.824 --> 00:35:27.193
They continue to tithe and give
00:35:27.193 --> 00:35:29.195
While building a substantial savings account.
00:35:29.195 --> 00:35:31.964
Plus they've paid off thousands of dollars
00:35:31.964 --> 00:35:34.333
Of john's school loan
00:35:34.333 --> 00:35:35.968
With plans to completely wipe their student debt out
00:35:35.968 --> 00:35:38.838
In the next two years.
00:35:38.838 --> 00:35:40.640
- i just remember the holy spirit telling me,
00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:42.708
"you're part of my kingdom and i'm gonna take care of you."
00:35:42.708 --> 00:35:45.912
We literally went from like month to month situation,
00:35:45.912 --> 00:35:50.116
To like, you know, just a overflow of god's blessings
00:35:50.116 --> 00:35:53.986
And provision for us financially,
00:35:53.986 --> 00:35:55.454
To now where we are in a place to where
00:35:55.454 --> 00:35:57.390
We're able to help other people.
00:35:57.390 --> 00:35:59.325
- i have such a heart for missions
00:35:59.325 --> 00:36:01.594
And i know john has that same sentiment
00:36:01.594 --> 00:36:04.497
And that's why we give and that's why we continue to do it.
00:36:04.497 --> 00:36:08.734
It's an opportunity
00:36:08.734 --> 00:36:10.136
To not just make a difference in someone's life,
00:36:10.136 --> 00:36:13.039
But to make an impact for the kingdom.
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.075
- [voiceover] they believe that following god
00:36:16.075 --> 00:36:18.010
Leads to abundant life.
00:36:18.010 --> 00:36:20.179
- there are promises that are attached to giving.
00:36:20.179 --> 00:36:23.115
It all belongs to him, ultimately.
00:36:23.115 --> 00:36:25.051
As he says yes, give and it will be given to you.
00:36:25.051 --> 00:36:27.086
So, if we want it to be given to us, we have to obey.
00:36:27.086 --> 00:36:30.656
I've always believed that my responsibility is obedience.
00:36:30.656 --> 00:36:35.161
God's responsibility is outcome.
00:36:35.161 --> 00:36:37.530
But when you show him that, "hey god,
00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:39.298
I trust you, i'm gonna give to you,"
00:36:39.298 --> 00:36:41.367
That's the key to unlock the abundance of heaven.
00:36:41.367 --> 00:36:44.971
- every time i give,
00:36:44.971 --> 00:36:46.339
I'm receiving something so much greater in return.
00:36:46.339 --> 00:36:49.041
And the more i practice generosity and the more i give,
00:36:49.041 --> 00:36:54.113
The closer i am to god and the more thankful i am.
00:36:55.348 --> 00:37:01.053
- what an inspiring story.
00:37:01.821 --> 00:37:04.624
So appreciate them sharing their financial journey with us.
00:37:04.624 --> 00:37:07.827
You heard john say,
00:37:07.827 --> 00:37:08.995
And maybe you've experienced this too,
00:37:08.995 --> 00:37:10.630
The stress of his finances was so high on him,
00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:15.034
It literally made him sick.
00:37:15.034 --> 00:37:17.136
The stress was so bad.
00:37:17.136 --> 00:37:18.504
But they made a key decision.
00:37:18.504 --> 00:37:20.539
Maybe you've heard someone say this before,
00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:22.141
That 90% of their finances with god
00:37:22.141 --> 00:37:25.411
Is better than managing 100% without him.
00:37:25.411 --> 00:37:28.914
Now, amber said that took them out of their comfort zone,
00:37:28.914 --> 00:37:31.784
But god does that to us sometimes, doesn't he,
00:37:31.784 --> 00:37:33.686
In a lot of areas of our life.
00:37:33.686 --> 00:37:35.187
He'll call us out of our comfort zone to trust him
00:37:35.187 --> 00:37:38.591
And that happens in our finances as well
00:37:38.591 --> 00:37:41.193
As we show trust in god and we say, lord,
00:37:41.193 --> 00:37:44.163
I want you to literally be my financial advisor.
00:37:44.163 --> 00:37:47.600
Get in the nitty gritty of my finances
00:37:47.600 --> 00:37:49.835
And i'm gonna manage my money
00:37:49.835 --> 00:37:51.504
Or let you manage my money the way the kingdom of god
00:37:51.504 --> 00:37:53.973
Has set up principles that i can help other people
00:37:53.973 --> 00:37:56.976
And be blessed.
00:37:56.976 --> 00:37:58.577

- well, coming up, a second chance at life.
00:38:56.469 --> 00:38:59.238
A teenager dodges death
00:38:59.238 --> 00:39:01.073
After flipping her car in a high speed crash.
00:39:01.073 --> 00:39:04.043

00:39:43.002 --> 00:39:44.881
- when madison arrived at the scene of the accident,
00:39:46.216 --> 00:39:48.551
She could not believe what she saw.
00:39:48.551 --> 00:39:51.421
A mangled car and the driver who'd been thrown
00:39:51.421 --> 00:39:54.157
40 yards into a cornfield.
00:39:54.157 --> 00:39:56.092
The woman was unconscious
00:39:56.092 --> 00:39:57.627
With multiple fractures and injuries.
00:39:57.627 --> 00:39:59.796
Even more shocking,
00:39:59.796 --> 00:40:01.164
That driver was madison's 16-year-old sister.
00:40:01.164 --> 00:40:05.902
(tense music)
00:40:06.469 --> 00:40:17.046
(crickets chirping) (footsteps thudding)
00:40:18.181 --> 00:40:23.686
(gravel scratching)
00:40:24.420 --> 00:40:26.356
- i came over the top of that hill,
00:40:26.356 --> 00:40:28.858
And the first thing i saw was her car.
00:40:28.858 --> 00:40:31.628
- when i got there i was like, "oh my gosh,
00:40:32.795 --> 00:40:34.297
Layla could be severely injured, she could be dead."
00:40:34.297 --> 00:40:37.867
(tires screeching)
00:40:38.501 --> 00:40:40.403
(vehicle thuds)
00:40:40.403 --> 00:40:42.405
- i didn't see a body, i didn't even look for a body.
00:40:42.405 --> 00:40:44.841
I just saw the car and then i saw the ambulance.
00:40:44.841 --> 00:40:47.043
(leaves rustling)
00:40:47.043 --> 00:40:50.613
- [madison] i got in the back of the ambulance
00:40:50.613 --> 00:40:51.848
And i just put my hands on her and i said,
00:40:51.848 --> 00:40:53.316
You know, "i'm here, can you hear me?
00:40:53.316 --> 00:40:55.418
Can you open your eyes?
00:40:55.418 --> 00:40:56.252
Can you blink?
00:40:56.252 --> 00:40:57.086
Can you do anything?"
00:40:57.086 --> 00:40:58.187
- [christy] i ran to the ambulance
00:40:58.187 --> 00:40:59.622
And opened the door to her sister,
00:40:59.622 --> 00:41:01.724
Prepping her to be life lined to iu methodist hospital.
00:41:01.724 --> 00:41:05.862
- [voiceover] layla knotts frantically left a party
00:41:07.096 --> 00:41:09.232
In the middle of the night.
00:41:09.232 --> 00:41:10.633
She was found in a field thrown from her mangled car
00:41:10.633 --> 00:41:13.469
The next morning.
00:41:13.469 --> 00:41:14.704
She had flipped her car several times,
00:41:14.704 --> 00:41:16.739
And now lay unresponsive,
00:41:16.739 --> 00:41:18.474
As her sister, madison, helped prep her to be life flighted
00:41:18.474 --> 00:41:21.711
To a level one trauma center.
00:41:21.711 --> 00:41:24.914
- met with a couple different doctors there,
00:41:26.049 --> 00:41:28.918
A team that had assessed her,
00:41:28.918 --> 00:41:31.287
And they told us that things did not look good.
00:41:31.287 --> 00:41:34.257
Broken bones and fractures, ribs,
00:41:34.257 --> 00:41:37.593
Fractures in her back, a chip in her skull.
00:41:37.593 --> 00:41:40.496
They said that they would potentially need to drill a hole
00:41:40.496 --> 00:41:42.999
In her head to relieve any pressure
00:41:42.999 --> 00:41:45.034
That she may have in there.
00:41:45.034 --> 00:41:46.836
We knew it was gonna be a moment-by-moment process.
00:41:46.836 --> 00:41:50.606
- diagnosed, you know, with a skull fracture,
00:41:50.606 --> 00:41:52.408
With a spinal fracture, and with swelling of the brain,
00:41:52.408 --> 00:41:55.345
You know, you thought,
00:41:55.345 --> 00:41:56.512
Is she gonna be mentally handicapped?
00:41:56.512 --> 00:41:58.214
Is she gonna be able to care for herself?
00:41:58.214 --> 00:41:59.882
Is she gonna be in a wheelchair?
00:41:59.882 --> 00:42:01.851
Is she gonna be able to comprehend conversations?
00:42:01.851 --> 00:42:05.455
- [voiceover] in small town indiana,
00:42:06.456 --> 00:42:07.924
Almost everyone knew layla was struggling to survive.
00:42:07.924 --> 00:42:11.661
The community lifted the family up in prayer.
00:42:11.661 --> 00:42:14.030
(somber music)
00:42:14.030 --> 00:42:15.665
- i was in the storm,
00:42:15.665 --> 00:42:18.134
But had peace because i knew people were praying
00:42:18.134 --> 00:42:21.204
And the prayers are what was carrying us
00:42:21.204 --> 00:42:24.340
Through that moment and through the whole entire thing.
00:42:24.340 --> 00:42:27.477
- that first day was pretty rough.
00:42:27.477 --> 00:42:28.911
We found out about all the injuries,
00:42:28.911 --> 00:42:30.480
It was pretty shocking.
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:31.981
They thought that she was gonna have to go to surgery
00:42:31.981 --> 00:42:33.249
To get operated on her hand
00:42:33.249 --> 00:42:34.817
And then like the next day we woke up,
00:42:34.817 --> 00:42:37.186
Decided not to do surgery on the hand,
00:42:37.186 --> 00:42:38.788
Said it was gonna be able to heal on its own.
00:42:38.788 --> 00:42:40.823
They decided not to do any burr holes
00:42:40.823 --> 00:42:43.126
To relieve any intracranial pressure.
00:42:43.126 --> 00:42:45.294
So that was crazy.
00:42:45.294 --> 00:42:46.562
They were able to wean her off the vent,
00:42:46.562 --> 00:42:48.297
Which is pretty remarkable.
00:42:48.297 --> 00:42:50.199
I would've thought she would've been probably on the vent
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.235
For a week or two or maybe even trached at some point
00:42:52.235 --> 00:42:55.505
Because she was gonna be on the vent for so long.
00:42:55.505 --> 00:42:58.007
- she had continued to heal miraculously.
00:42:58.007 --> 00:43:01.677
To be thrown as far as she was thrown out of her vehicle,
00:43:01.677 --> 00:43:05.481
Through we believe, the driver's side window,
00:43:05.481 --> 00:43:09.285
And for her not to have lacerations all over her
00:43:09.285 --> 00:43:12.889
And need sutured was miraculous in itself.
00:43:12.889 --> 00:43:17.927
- when we were talking with the police,
00:43:18.995 --> 00:43:20.363
We kind of got a synopsis of, yeah,
00:43:20.363 --> 00:43:21.931
She was probably traveling over a hundred miles per hour.
00:43:21.931 --> 00:43:24.634
There was a telephone pole
00:43:24.634 --> 00:43:26.035
And like, i think an electrical box or something
00:43:26.035 --> 00:43:27.904
On the corner of the road,
00:43:27.904 --> 00:43:29.172
And she drove right between the two somehow.
00:43:29.172 --> 00:43:31.974
If she would've collided with one of those,
00:43:31.974 --> 00:43:33.776
It probably would've been a hundred percent fatality,
00:43:33.776 --> 00:43:36.012
I would assume.
00:43:36.012 --> 00:43:36.979
But it's just really a miracle
00:43:36.979 --> 00:43:38.781
That everything played out the way it did.
00:43:38.781 --> 00:43:41.250
Speaking of in the field,
00:43:41.250 --> 00:43:42.985
I mean, she laid out there from like 1:00 am
00:43:42.985 --> 00:43:46.089
Till almost 7:00 am,
00:43:46.089 --> 00:43:47.590
So like six hours out in the cold in 20 degree weather.
00:43:47.590 --> 00:43:50.860
It just, you would've thought she would've died
00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:52.829
Of hypothermia or something.
00:43:52.829 --> 00:43:54.597
- i was very cautiously guarded,
00:43:54.597 --> 00:43:58.034
You know, as to what her future looked like in terms of,
00:43:58.034 --> 00:44:02.338
You know, cognitively and physically
00:44:02.338 --> 00:44:05.208
Because she did have a traumatic brain injury.
00:44:05.208 --> 00:44:08.010
- she was progressing through things one time after another
00:44:08.010 --> 00:44:11.247
And it was really just remarkable to see
00:44:11.247 --> 00:44:13.416
How she transitioned through every step
00:44:13.416 --> 00:44:16.152
And every phase of it.
00:44:16.152 --> 00:44:17.253
And she wanted to do things.
00:44:17.253 --> 00:44:18.654
She wanted to write, she wanted to eat on her own.
00:44:18.654 --> 00:44:21.457
She was pretty resilient through all of that.
00:44:21.457 --> 00:44:23.459
- during the course of her treatment
00:44:23.459 --> 00:44:25.061
Over the weeks that i saw her,
00:44:25.061 --> 00:44:27.063
I was moved to tears many times
00:44:27.063 --> 00:44:29.365
Just because the things that she was able to do
00:44:29.365 --> 00:44:32.268
As quickly as she was able to do them,
00:44:32.268 --> 00:44:34.070
And as easily as she was able to do them was amazing.
00:44:34.070 --> 00:44:38.407
So yeah, i really...
00:44:38.407 --> 00:44:40.243
She was a miracle.
00:44:40.243 --> 00:44:41.677
(audience applauding) (audience cheering)
00:44:41.677 --> 00:44:44.347
(bell clanging)
00:44:44.347 --> 00:44:45.748
(audience applauding) (audience cheering)
00:44:45.748 --> 00:44:48.885
- [voiceover] layla's remarkable healing
00:44:48.885 --> 00:44:50.853
Wasn't her only miracle.
00:44:50.853 --> 00:44:52.722
She also experienced a spiritual one too.
00:44:52.722 --> 00:44:55.825
- one of the conversations i had with her was,
00:44:57.059 --> 00:45:00.196
"do you remember
00:45:00.196 --> 00:45:02.098
Speaking to god when you were in that field?"
00:45:02.098 --> 00:45:04.433
And she said, "yes, i do."
00:45:04.433 --> 00:45:06.702
I asked her if she wanted to recommit her life to the lord
00:45:06.702 --> 00:45:09.338
And she said, "yes."
00:45:09.338 --> 00:45:11.274
- i know that recommitting my life to jesus in that hospital
00:45:11.274 --> 00:45:15.311
Is one of the best decisions
00:45:15.311 --> 00:45:17.346
That i will ever make in my life.
00:45:17.346 --> 00:45:19.849
I would've went to hell if i would've died,
00:45:19.849 --> 00:45:22.018
I know for a fact.
00:45:22.018 --> 00:45:23.419
I was not living for the lord at all.
00:45:23.419 --> 00:45:26.088
But now i am.
00:45:26.088 --> 00:45:27.323
And i am thankful because i love the lord
00:45:27.323 --> 00:45:31.594
And i know that he forgives me.
00:45:31.594 --> 00:45:34.397
- it has reset layla, it has strengthened her faith.
00:45:34.397 --> 00:45:38.367
It has strengthened us as a family.
00:45:38.367 --> 00:45:40.703
It has strengthened our relationship
00:45:40.703 --> 00:45:43.105
Ultimately with the lord.
00:45:43.105 --> 00:45:44.407
So for that, we are thankful.
00:45:44.407 --> 00:45:46.275
- i would do it over again
00:45:46.275 --> 00:45:47.944
Because it has changed my life.
00:45:47.944 --> 00:45:50.646
He has given me a second chance at life.
00:45:50.646 --> 00:45:53.082
(gentle music)
00:45:53.082 --> 00:45:55.952
- can't imagine, as layla looks out over that cornfield
00:45:55.952 --> 00:45:58.721
What she must think.
00:45:58.721 --> 00:45:59.855
Certainly, she's declaring to us all
00:45:59.855 --> 00:46:02.925
The power and love of god, her gratitude to the lord,
00:46:02.925 --> 00:46:06.362
And for people who were praying for her.
00:46:06.362 --> 00:46:08.931
Now, you may be in crisis now
00:46:08.931 --> 00:46:10.299
Or someone you love is in crisis.
00:46:10.299 --> 00:46:12.235
And you may think, i don't have the faith
00:46:12.235 --> 00:46:13.669
To believe that strongly.
00:46:13.669 --> 00:46:14.971
Listen, jesus said, "truly i say to you,"
00:46:14.971 --> 00:46:18.274
That's how the verse starts, "truly, i say to you,
00:46:18.274 --> 00:46:21.777
If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
00:46:21.777 --> 00:46:25.348
You can say to this mountain,
00:46:25.348 --> 00:46:26.415
'move from here to there,'
00:46:26.415 --> 00:46:27.683
And nothing will be impossible for you."
00:46:27.683 --> 00:46:29.185
Have you ever seen a mustard seed?
00:46:29.185 --> 00:46:30.586
It's almost undetectable to the human eye.
00:46:30.586 --> 00:46:32.355
It is so small. minuscule.
00:46:32.355 --> 00:46:34.924
And jesus said, "truly i say to you,
00:46:34.924 --> 00:46:36.892
If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
00:46:36.892 --> 00:46:40.129
Nothing shall be impossible for you."
00:46:41.130 --> 00:46:43.466
The apostle paul said that god can do more than we imagine,
00:46:43.466 --> 00:46:46.435
Can ask or think thanks to the power of god working in us.
00:46:46.435 --> 00:46:51.507
The kingdom of god has great authority and power.
00:46:52.775 --> 00:46:55.244
And ashley and i believe that it is today
00:46:55.244 --> 00:46:59.615
Powerful in your life and we are gonna pray for you.
00:46:59.615 --> 00:47:02.785
We believe in the healing power of jesus
00:47:02.785 --> 00:47:05.721
And we're gonna pray for you.
00:47:05.721 --> 00:47:06.989
First a couple of quick reports we wanna share.
00:47:06.989 --> 00:47:09.625
This is helen of lubbock, texas,
00:47:09.625 --> 00:47:11.494
Suffered many years with a swallowing issue.
00:47:11.494 --> 00:47:13.396
One day, she heard ashley mention in prayer,
00:47:13.396 --> 00:47:15.898
Someone having problems swallowing.
00:47:15.898 --> 00:47:17.933
Ashley said, "go ahead and drink water
00:47:17.933 --> 00:47:19.802
And receive your healing."
00:47:19.802 --> 00:47:21.570
Helen claimed her healing, and since then,
00:47:21.570 --> 00:47:23.472
She can eat and drink without any problems.
00:47:23.472 --> 00:47:25.708
She also recalls another time when ashley mentioned
00:47:25.708 --> 00:47:28.277
Those who were having spinal problems.
00:47:28.277 --> 00:47:30.413
Helen exercised her faith in god
00:47:30.413 --> 00:47:32.415
And never needed the procedure her doctor was gonna do.
00:47:32.415 --> 00:47:35.051
Ashley, a lot of power in your prayers. we know that.
00:47:35.051 --> 00:47:36.752
- [ashley] that's amazing.
00:47:36.752 --> 00:47:37.987
Well, here's another answer to prayer.
00:47:37.987 --> 00:47:38.921
Terri of tulsa, oklahoma,
00:47:38.921 --> 00:47:40.923
Was walking on gravel when she stepped on a sharp piece
00:47:40.923 --> 00:47:43.693
That instantly made her left heel hurt.
00:47:43.693 --> 00:47:46.262
For days, it continued to cause agonizing pain.
00:47:46.262 --> 00:47:49.532
Terri was watching "the 700 club" when she heard andrew say,
00:47:49.532 --> 00:47:52.501
"someone is having a problem with your heel.
00:47:52.501 --> 00:47:54.970
I don't know if it was injured in an accident,
00:47:54.970 --> 00:47:57.506
Or if something's been growing inside,
00:47:57.506 --> 00:47:59.408
But you've had terrible problems with your heel.
00:47:59.408 --> 00:48:01.844
The lord god is just taking the pain away right now.
00:48:01.844 --> 00:48:05.781
That is being healed in jesus' name."
00:48:05.781 --> 00:48:08.584
By faith, terri claimed her healing.
00:48:08.584 --> 00:48:11.253
She stood on her left heel, and the pain was gone.
00:48:11.253 --> 00:48:15.558
- amen. - praise god.
00:48:15.558 --> 00:48:16.559
- that is great, terri. - yeah.
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:18.160
- helen, thank you for letting us know these praise reports,
00:48:18.160 --> 00:48:19.662
They're so encouraging to us, and i hope our audience.
00:48:19.662 --> 00:48:22.365
So whatever your need is now,
00:48:22.365 --> 00:48:23.632
Let's lift them up before the lord.
00:48:23.632 --> 00:48:27.036
Heavenly father, ashley and i
00:48:27.870 --> 00:48:29.538
And the audience come before you now,
00:48:29.538 --> 00:48:31.240
In the powerful name of jesus.
00:48:31.240 --> 00:48:33.743
We bring our mustard seed faith, some of us,
00:48:33.743 --> 00:48:37.246
Others are just walking in strong
00:48:37.246 --> 00:48:39.482
And mighty faith and belief, lord god,
00:48:39.482 --> 00:48:42.585
And i ask them to pray for others now who are in crisis.
00:48:42.585 --> 00:48:46.489
Lord god, we ask your holy spirit to move in power,
00:48:46.489 --> 00:48:49.358
Authority, and might now in jesus' name.
00:48:49.358 --> 00:48:52.895
There's someone who's had really bad cramping
00:48:52.895 --> 00:48:55.431
On your right side and your chest and your arm,
00:48:55.431 --> 00:48:59.235
And you don't know what's been causing it.
00:48:59.235 --> 00:49:00.703
But now in the name of jesus,
00:49:00.703 --> 00:49:02.505
That cramping and those spasms are subsiding,
00:49:02.505 --> 00:49:05.474
Decreasing and going away in jesus' name.
00:49:05.474 --> 00:49:08.310
- i just believe a lot of people are watching
00:49:08.310 --> 00:49:10.012
And you've just been in a cycle of habitual sin.
00:49:10.012 --> 00:49:12.882
Maybe it's with alcohol, drugs,
00:49:12.882 --> 00:49:15.418
Promiscuity, whatever it is, thoughts, anxiousness.
00:49:16.652 --> 00:49:20.689
I believe god is breaking chains right now.
00:49:20.689 --> 00:49:23.692
You've been crying out to the father, asking, "when?
00:49:23.692 --> 00:49:27.296
When is there gonna be a breakthrough?
00:49:27.296 --> 00:49:29.064
When am i going to be free?"
00:49:29.064 --> 00:49:30.766
And i just believe god is asking you to invite him in
00:49:30.766 --> 00:49:34.437
To those temptations.
00:49:34.437 --> 00:49:35.738
When you begin to feel tempted to take a drink,
00:49:35.738 --> 00:49:38.841
Take a hit of something,
00:49:38.841 --> 00:49:40.309
Do something that you know you're not supposed to do,
00:49:40.309 --> 00:49:42.244
Or it's not good for you,
00:49:42.244 --> 00:49:43.679
I just believe god is asking you to invite him in.
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.415
Say, "father, help me in this moment."
00:49:46.415 --> 00:49:49.084
And by the power of the holy spirit,
00:49:49.084 --> 00:49:50.986
I believe god is going to break those chains
00:49:50.986 --> 00:49:54.190
That have held you bound for so long.
00:49:54.190 --> 00:49:56.459
In the name of jesus, holy spirit,
00:49:56.459 --> 00:49:58.093
Will you just flow over these individuals right now,
00:49:58.093 --> 00:50:01.030
Assuring them and giving confidence that you are with them
00:50:01.030 --> 00:50:04.333
And you want to be with them,
00:50:04.333 --> 00:50:05.968
Even in those moments of desperation and temptation.
00:50:05.968 --> 00:50:09.205
That's what you died for.
00:50:09.205 --> 00:50:10.973
So, lord, i just pray that you speak to their hearts
00:50:10.973 --> 00:50:12.908
Right now and they receive this word from you
00:50:12.908 --> 00:50:15.377
In the name of jesus.
00:50:15.377 --> 00:50:16.779
- amen, and in compliment to what ashley prayed
00:50:16.779 --> 00:50:18.647
And what the lord was giving her,
00:50:18.647 --> 00:50:19.949
He wants abundant life for you.
00:50:19.949 --> 00:50:22.585
It's not just about restricting yourself
00:50:23.719 --> 00:50:25.855
From things of the flesh and the worldly things,
00:50:25.855 --> 00:50:27.756
But jesus wants to give you a more abundant life.
00:50:27.756 --> 00:50:30.192
He has things for you.
00:50:30.192 --> 00:50:31.594
He has blessings for you.
00:50:31.594 --> 00:50:32.995
He has a path for you to walk
00:50:32.995 --> 00:50:34.864
That will surprise you and delight you
00:50:34.864 --> 00:50:36.832
With what he has in store.
00:50:36.832 --> 00:50:38.400
But we need to listen to the voice of the shepherd.
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.837
So i encourage you, as ashley pray,
00:50:41.837 --> 00:50:43.405
Just be submissive to what god wants.
00:50:43.405 --> 00:50:46.308
It's for his glory and your joy.
00:50:46.308 --> 00:50:49.778
There's someone who's had a terrible cough for weeks
00:50:49.778 --> 00:50:52.348
And it's causing great pain
00:50:52.348 --> 00:50:53.749
On the left side of your body and your chest.
00:50:53.749 --> 00:50:56.385
Lift your hands now,
00:50:56.385 --> 00:50:58.454
And god's gonna take that coughing away in jesus' name.
00:50:58.454 --> 00:51:02.224
- yeah, i just believe a lot of people
00:51:02.224 --> 00:51:03.759
Are almost like just so shameful to even come to the father.
00:51:03.759 --> 00:51:08.464
It's like you believe that god
00:51:09.298 --> 00:51:10.232
Doesn't even wanna come near you
00:51:10.232 --> 00:51:11.567
Because you're so dirty and so sinful.
00:51:11.567 --> 00:51:14.203
But my friends, i'm here to tell you
00:51:14.203 --> 00:51:15.704
That that is the complete opposite of our heavenly father.
00:51:15.704 --> 00:51:19.275
There is no one too sinful or too dirty for him to come to.
00:51:19.275 --> 00:51:22.678
His arms are open wide for you.
00:51:22.678 --> 00:51:25.114
Come into the light of your savior, jesus christ.
00:51:25.114 --> 00:51:28.384
Cry out to him today, even right now in this very moment,
00:51:28.384 --> 00:51:31.720
I believe he's going to answer you
00:51:31.720 --> 00:51:33.989
And lift you out of that dark and deep pit.
00:51:33.989 --> 00:51:37.493
He's reaching out to you.
00:51:37.493 --> 00:51:40.362
Just grab his hand.
00:51:40.362 --> 00:51:42.264
Grab his hand, and just welcome him into your life.
00:51:42.264 --> 00:51:45.568
- yeah, and i don't usually receive
00:51:45.568 --> 00:51:47.503
Words from the spirit like this, but i just think we should.
00:51:47.503 --> 00:51:49.872
He wants the audience to read luke 15
00:51:49.872 --> 00:51:52.041
And how the love of the father is unconditional
00:51:53.175 --> 00:51:57.279
And he wants people to come home
00:51:57.279 --> 00:51:59.315
To his father's heart today.
00:51:59.315 --> 00:52:00.482
In jesus name we pray, amen.
00:52:00.482 --> 00:52:02.585
If you've received a miracle,
00:52:02.585 --> 00:52:04.153
You can express a report to us.
00:52:04.153 --> 00:52:05.721
Please give us a call, 1-800-700-7000.
00:52:05.721 --> 00:52:09.358
We leave you with these words from mark 11.
00:52:09.358 --> 00:52:11.660
"whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you've received it,
00:52:11.660 --> 00:52:14.663
And it will be yours."
00:52:14.663 --> 00:52:16.031
Thanks for being with us, we'll see you next time.
00:52:16.031 --> 00:52:18.300
(upbeat music)
00:52:18.300 --> 00:52:20.999
