  • Now we have this thing called the internet.
  • 00:02:00.076 --> 00:02:02.745
  • - maybe you would never get to darken the doorway

  • Through whatever tools he makes available.

  • There's new tools emerging,
  • 00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:20.129
  • We're gonna use those for the gospel too.
  • 00:02:20.129 --> 00:02:21.631
  • - [mike] when you support tbn,
  • 00:02:21.631 --> 00:02:24.834
  • You're supporting great commission work
  • 00:02:24.834 --> 00:02:27.070
  • All around the world.
  • 00:02:27.070 --> 00:02:29.305
  • - [matt] we get to think global impact in our day.
  • 00:02:30.273 --> 00:02:33.309
  • (air whooshing)
  • 00:02:33.309 --> 00:02:36.346
  • - tbn has a deep connection to israel
  • 00:02:36.346 --> 00:02:39.315
  • And of course that thrills me.
  • 00:02:39.315 --> 00:02:41.117
  • It thrilled me before i was asked to go as ambassador,
  • 00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:44.120
  • But even more so now.
  • 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.022
  • But tbn has one of the most sophisticated studios located
  • 00:02:46.022 --> 00:02:49.459
  • Right in the heart of jerusalem.
  • 00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:51.494
  • They do a number of telecasts from there.
  • 00:02:51.494 --> 00:02:54.130
  • They have a show that originates from there.
  • 00:02:54.130 --> 00:02:55.932
  • Several, in fact.
  • 00:02:55.932 --> 00:02:57.267
  • And the connection to israel for tbn
  • 00:02:58.067 --> 00:03:01.738
  • Goes all the way back to its founder.
  • 00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:04.307
  • Tbn has always understood that israel
  • 00:03:04.307 --> 00:03:07.577
  • Is god's chosen place for god's chosen people.
  • 00:03:07.577 --> 00:03:11.648
  • And it is created in its broadcasting programming,
  • 00:03:11.648 --> 00:03:16.252
  • And as well as in its commitment
  • 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:18.221
  • And its stewardship of resources
  • 00:03:18.221 --> 00:03:20.356
  • To always be incredibly supportive of the
  • 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:23.559
  • State of israel.
  • 00:03:23.559 --> 00:03:25.695
  • Well, one of the reasons that tbn supports israel
  • 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:29.632
  • Is because the bible.
  • 00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:31.067
  • - tells us to.
  • 00:03:31.434 --> 00:03:32.835
  • And i'm a simple guy. i'm a person of the book.
  • 00:03:32.835 --> 00:03:35.071
  • If it says it in the scriptures, that's what i believe.
  • 00:03:35.071 --> 00:03:38.474
  • I believe that because i truly believe
  • 00:03:38.474 --> 00:03:40.410
  • That god's word is infallible and errant
  • 00:03:40.410 --> 00:03:43.413
  • And absolutely inspired by the holy spirit.
  • 00:03:43.413 --> 00:03:46.182
  • So believing that, i'll read genesis 12,
  • 00:03:46.182 --> 00:03:48.318
  • And it says, "those who bless israel will be blessed,
  • 00:03:48.318 --> 00:03:52.989
  • But those who curse israel will be cursed."
  • 00:03:52.989 --> 00:03:56.159
  • Well, i don't know about you, but i wanna be blessed.
  • 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.295
  • I want my nation to be blessed.
  • 00:03:59.295 --> 00:04:01.631
  • I want tbn to be blessed.
  • 00:04:01.631 --> 00:04:04.000
  • And no greater way than to be a blessing to israel,
  • 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.738
  • One of the things for which i'm very grateful,
  • 00:04:08.738 --> 00:04:11.207
  • Is that tbn unapologetically embraces the word of god,
  • 00:04:11.207 --> 00:04:15.244
  • The bible, as holy truth and sticks to it
  • 00:04:15.244 --> 00:04:19.582
  • And doesn't compromise it.
  • 00:04:19.582 --> 00:04:21.417
  • And that's refreshing, i think, for all of us who support
  • 00:04:21.417 --> 00:04:24.721
  • And love tbn.
  • 00:04:24.721 --> 00:04:26.556
  • And now we're gonna send it back to the studio in israel.
  • 00:04:27.724 --> 00:04:33.396
  • (birds tweeting)
  • 00:04:33.763 --> 00:04:35.398
  • - thank you so much, mike huckabee.
  • 00:04:35.398 --> 00:04:37.100
  • I'm here with mati shoshani, here in jerusalem,
  • 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.203
  • In the southern steps of the temple mount
  • 00:04:40.203 --> 00:04:43.139
  • Where jesus christ walked and preached
  • 00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:45.842
  • And shared the truth from israel
  • 00:04:45.842 --> 00:04:48.745
  • That reached the nations around the world.
  • 00:04:48.745 --> 00:04:51.114
  • This is what we're doing here in israel
  • 00:04:51.114 --> 00:04:53.116
  • - and we're here to summarize
  • 00:04:53.116 --> 00:04:54.450
  • And celebrate this incredible year
  • 00:04:54.450 --> 00:04:57.186
  • That we've had here in tbn israel.
  • 00:04:57.186 --> 00:04:59.021
  • We've exceeded our expectations in growth
  • 00:04:59.021 --> 00:05:02.091
  • And in reach of the audience.
  • 00:05:02.091 --> 00:05:03.559
  • And i think we all feel that
  • 00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:04.761
  • For the first time in a long time,
  • 00:05:04.761 --> 00:05:06.462
  • We've been able to really put a stake in the ground
  • 00:05:06.462 --> 00:05:08.898
  • And make sure that people around the world
  • 00:05:08.898 --> 00:05:10.733
  • Have a reliable voice of truth out of this country.
  • 00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:14.504
  • - yeah, definitely, mati,
  • 00:05:14.504 --> 00:05:16.005
  • And we've been doing that while fighting in the idf.
  • 00:05:16.005 --> 00:05:19.642
  • - yes. - when october 7th happened,
  • 00:05:19.642 --> 00:05:21.144
  • Both of us were called to defend our country,
  • 00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:23.579
  • To wear a uniform and to defend our families
  • 00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:26.983
  • And fight these terrorist groups.
  • 00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:28.951
  • And because of the platform of tbn
  • 00:05:28.951 --> 00:05:31.888
  • And the reach to millions of people, we were able
  • 00:05:31.888 --> 00:05:34.957
  • To share the truth at a time where deception
  • 00:05:34.957 --> 00:05:38.461
  • And lies being more popular than anything else.
  • 00:05:38.461 --> 00:05:43.366
  • So every day, we've been sharing the truth from israel,
  • 00:05:43.366 --> 00:05:46.502
  • From jerusalem, from the front lines,
  • 00:05:46.502 --> 00:05:49.071
  • With a variety of programs, reaching people, like you,
  • 00:05:49.071 --> 00:05:52.408
  • Around the world and encouraging you to pray
  • 00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:56.045
  • For the situation.
  • 00:05:56.045 --> 00:05:57.613
  • We were all called to pray for the peace of jerusalem,
  • 00:05:57.613 --> 00:06:00.149
  • Mati, but how do you pray if you don't know
  • 00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:02.418
  • What's really happening here?
  • 00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:03.586
  • - i think that's part of the miracle
  • 00:06:03.586 --> 00:06:05.254
  • Of what's happened here
  • 00:06:05.254 --> 00:06:06.789
  • And the impact that's happened on the ground is the fact
  • 00:06:06.789 --> 00:06:08.925
  • That people were looking for a voice
  • 00:06:08.925 --> 00:06:10.426
  • That's on the ground in the country.
  • 00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:12.261
  • And a lot of our stories, especially in this past year,
  • 00:06:12.261 --> 00:06:14.564
  • Have really been intimate in person,
  • 00:06:14.564 --> 00:06:17.333
  • Experiential of what's been happening,
  • 00:06:17.333 --> 00:06:19.235
  • What we've been experiencing,
  • 00:06:19.235 --> 00:06:20.603
  • What our friends, what our family, what members
  • 00:06:20.603 --> 00:06:22.472
  • Of the tbn israel team have been experiencing here
  • 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.941
  • On the ground.
  • 00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:26.209
  • And people clicked with that message.
  • 00:06:26.209 --> 00:06:28.144
  • People around the world have been reaching out to us,
  • 00:06:28.144 --> 00:06:29.779
  • Even people within israel. - it's amazing. yeah.
  • 00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.681
  • - telling us how much it's touched them
  • 00:06:31.681 --> 00:06:33.516
  • Just to have someone to connect with on the ground.
  • 00:06:33.516 --> 00:06:36.486
  • And i think that's been a huge answer to prayers for us,
  • 00:06:36.486 --> 00:06:40.089
  • Of being able to really hear the people
  • 00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:42.391
  • That were touched by it,
  • 00:06:42.391 --> 00:06:43.693
  • Hear the people who've been praying for us.
  • 00:06:43.693 --> 00:06:45.194
  • I know that meant a lot for me while i was in the idf
  • 00:06:45.194 --> 00:06:47.663
  • To know that people around the world
  • 00:06:47.663 --> 00:06:48.865
  • Were praying for me personally.
  • 00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:50.433
  • - yeah, during the time of the first weeks
  • 00:06:50.433 --> 00:06:53.002
  • And months of this war, i really felt alone
  • 00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:55.271
  • Because the whole world was against israel.
  • 00:06:55.271 --> 00:06:57.707
  • That's what we felt.
  • 00:06:57.707 --> 00:06:58.908
  • And then, we started. - i think it was
  • 00:06:58.908 --> 00:07:00.743
  • A true feeling at the time. - (laughs) definitely.
  • 00:07:00.743 --> 00:07:02.478
  • And then we started receiving, you know,
  • 00:07:02.478 --> 00:07:04.213
  • Dozens of messages
  • 00:07:04.213 --> 00:07:05.915
  • And hundreds every day from people around the world
  • 00:07:05.915 --> 00:07:08.951
  • That are uniting and praying for us personally,
  • 00:07:08.951 --> 00:07:11.921
  • Praying for the idf soldiers,
  • 00:07:11.921 --> 00:07:13.122
  • Praying for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:07:13.122 --> 00:07:14.690
  • And i realized that this war is not just a war for israel.
  • 00:07:14.690 --> 00:07:18.761
  • - yes. - this war involves each
  • 00:07:18.761 --> 00:07:20.329
  • And every one of you.
  • 00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:21.597
  • This is a spiritual war,
  • 00:07:21.597 --> 00:07:23.132
  • And the enemy wants to break this connection between god
  • 00:07:23.132 --> 00:07:26.602
  • And the people of israel.
  • 00:07:26.602 --> 00:07:27.970
  • - i agree completely. - any city, jerusalem.
  • 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:29.972
  • And i mean by praying,
  • 00:07:29.972 --> 00:07:32.275
  • We battle and counter these deceptions,
  • 00:07:32.275 --> 00:07:35.044
  • These lies that the enemy is spreading.
  • 00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:37.313
  • And if you want to be encouraged in your own life,
  • 00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:40.816
  • Just take a look at israel.
  • 00:07:40.816 --> 00:07:42.285
  • We've been fighting a war
  • 00:07:42.285 --> 00:07:43.653
  • For 15 months against seven different fronts.
  • 00:07:43.653 --> 00:07:46.556
  • From iran to hezbollah, hamas, the houthis,
  • 00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:49.825
  • And other militias and palestinian terrorist groups
  • 00:07:49.825 --> 00:07:52.728
  • And we are still here, despite everything.
  • 00:07:52.728 --> 00:07:55.965
  • Not because we have an amazing army, mati.
  • 00:07:55.965 --> 00:07:58.000
  • I mean, you're an amazing officer,
  • 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.702
  • But it's not because of us. - i'm not sure about that.
  • 00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:01.804
  • - definitely. - no, i said,
  • 00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:03.339
  • There's something else that i think is really important
  • 00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:04.607
  • For the viewers who are watching right now,
  • 00:08:04.607 --> 00:08:06.242
  • Which is the connection that we've had
  • 00:08:06.242 --> 00:08:07.810
  • And people in israel have had
  • 00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:09.445
  • With the viewers around the world who've been praying
  • 00:08:09.445 --> 00:08:11.914
  • And caring for the state of israel.
  • 00:08:11.914 --> 00:08:13.449
  • And i don't say this lightly when i say that the prayers
  • 00:08:13.449 --> 00:08:16.552
  • And the connection and the heart to heart messages
  • 00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:18.854
  • And in person encounters we've had
  • 00:08:18.854 --> 00:08:20.556
  • Have been incredibly substantial.
  • 00:08:20.556 --> 00:08:22.758
  • And not just me and yair have experienced them,
  • 00:08:22.758 --> 00:08:24.694
  • People throughout the country have felt that love
  • 00:08:24.694 --> 00:08:26.629
  • Of people around the world who have been yelling
  • 00:08:26.629 --> 00:08:28.230
  • And saying, "no."
  • 00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:29.532
  • - we love you and we care for you.
  • 00:08:30.232 --> 00:08:31.767
  • So we're gonna end on a call for you to continue praying
  • 00:08:31.767 --> 00:08:33.869
  • For the state of israel.
  • 00:08:33.869 --> 00:08:34.904
  • - yes, definitely.
  • 00:08:34.904 --> 00:08:36.405
  • And just to summarize it all up, okay, god is standing
  • 00:08:36.405 --> 00:08:40.610
  • With israel and because of him, we are still here.
  • 00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:43.879
  • - yes.
  • 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.114
  • - he's faithful to the people of israel
  • 00:08:45.114 --> 00:08:46.349
  • And he will be faithful and is faithful to
  • 00:08:46.349 --> 00:08:48.417
  • Each and every one of you.
  • 00:08:48.417 --> 00:08:51.153
  • And that's what we're fighting here.
  • 00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:52.622
  • That's what israel is all about.
  • 00:08:52.622 --> 00:08:54.557
  • And now i want to hand the stage
  • 00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:56.826
  • To our good friends at tbn ukraine.
  • 00:08:56.826 --> 00:09:01.497
  • (gentle music)
  • 00:09:01.864 --> 00:09:08.070
  • (church bells ring)
  • 00:09:08.537 --> 00:09:14.043
  • - hello, tbn family.
  • 00:09:14.510 --> 00:09:16.212
  • I am vitaly from tbnua reporting to you from the heart
  • 00:09:16.212 --> 00:09:20.783
  • Of my home country, ukraine, here in the city of kyiv.
  • 00:09:20.783 --> 00:09:25.755
  • Three years have passed since the beginning
  • 00:09:26.689 --> 00:09:30.192
  • Of russia's war against ukraine.
  • 00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:32.361
  • It has been a difficult journey of losses,
  • 00:09:32.361 --> 00:09:35.231
  • Destruction and suffering.
  • 00:09:35.231 --> 00:09:37.667
  • For three years, the war has divided families,
  • 00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:41.370
  • Destroyed cities and villages
  • 00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:44.106
  • And covered ukrainian land with craters from rockets
  • 00:09:44.106 --> 00:09:48.277
  • And fresh cemeteries on the blue and yellow flags.
  • 00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:52.281
  • Three years without sleep,
  • 00:09:52.281 --> 00:09:53.582
  • Food, simple, everyday things, light and heat.
  • 00:09:53.582 --> 00:09:58.854
  • This is what every ukrainian has faced.
  • 00:09:59.689 --> 00:10:02.425
  • But despite the deadly trials,
  • 00:10:02.425 --> 00:10:04.827
  • The ukrainian people have shown the world an example
  • 00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:08.364
  • Of incredible courage and resilience.
  • 00:10:08.364 --> 00:10:11.834
  • United against evil, ukrainians have proven
  • 00:10:11.834 --> 00:10:15.571
  • That their spirit cannot be broken.
  • 00:10:15.571 --> 00:10:18.207
  • Every day, ukrainian soldiers give their lives
  • 00:10:18.207 --> 00:10:21.844
  • In the fight for freedom, the right to choose an identity.
  • 00:10:21.844 --> 00:10:26.716
  • In these battles, they place their hope not only
  • 00:10:26.716 --> 00:10:30.119
  • In their own strength, but also through the darkest times
  • 00:10:30.119 --> 00:10:34.724
  • In tuning their hearts to god.
  • 00:10:34.724 --> 00:10:37.760
  • Therefore, the main goal of tbn's presence
  • 00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:41.030
  • In ukraine has been spiritual support.
  • 00:10:41.030 --> 00:10:44.433
  • The tbnua channel created for ukrainians carries
  • 00:10:44.433 --> 00:10:48.170
  • The message of jesus christ, a message of love and hope.
  • 00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:52.775
  • Every program contains biblical truth, which become a source
  • 00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:57.046
  • Of inspiration and encouragement for viewers
  • 00:10:57.046 --> 00:11:00.316
  • In the face of daily challenges.
  • 00:11:00.316 --> 00:11:03.219
  • The tbnua channel has become a kind of spiritual point
  • 00:11:03.219 --> 00:11:07.223
  • Of resilience with over 100,000 viewers tuning in.
  • 00:11:07.223 --> 00:11:12.495
  • In addition to powerful spiritual support,
  • 00:11:13.395 --> 00:11:16.098
  • Tbn in ukraine also engages in acts of nursing.
  • 00:11:16.098 --> 00:11:20.503
  • This includes providing warm food, clothing, medicine
  • 00:11:20.503 --> 00:11:25.074
  • And treatment to those in need.
  • 00:11:25.074 --> 00:11:27.843
  • It also involves organizing retreats
  • 00:11:27.843 --> 00:11:29.979
  • For children whose childhood has been scarred by war.
  • 00:11:29.979 --> 00:11:34.316
  • Tbn also arranges outreach missions to combat zones
  • 00:11:35.351 --> 00:11:39.255
  • To alleviate the lives of people living there.
  • 00:11:39.255 --> 00:11:43.492
  • Today, tbnua is part of ukraine's struggle against evil.
  • 00:11:43.492 --> 00:11:48.197
  • Our fight is for the hearts and souls of ukrainians.
  • 00:11:48.197 --> 00:11:52.768
  • Our weapon is prayer and the bible.
  • 00:11:52.768 --> 00:11:55.971
  • Our shield is god himself.
  • 00:11:55.971 --> 00:11:58.908
  • Daily spiritual support gives people strength
  • 00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:01.677
  • And hope in this fight.
  • 00:12:01.677 --> 00:12:03.746
  • This is why our mission is so important.
  • 00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:07.316
  • That is why we must continue reminding people
  • 00:12:07.316 --> 00:12:11.086
  • That in these dark times, god is near.
  • 00:12:11.086 --> 00:12:14.256
  • His faithfulness is unchanging, his power is omnipotent
  • 00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:18.627
  • And his love is all encompassing.
  • 00:12:18.627 --> 00:12:21.363
  • The significance of tbn's presence
  • 00:12:21.363 --> 00:12:23.432
  • In ukraine cannot be overstated.
  • 00:12:23.432 --> 00:12:26.635
  • For behind all the content we create stands the main author,
  • 00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:31.073
  • The creator of heaven and earth, god,
  • 00:12:31.073 --> 00:12:34.176
  • Who is our protection and support in trials.
  • 00:12:34.176 --> 00:12:37.847
  • And this is what we aim to convey to every ukrainian
  • 00:12:37.847 --> 00:12:42.184
  • That even in the horror or war,
  • 00:12:42.184 --> 00:12:45.020
  • We must always remember the unfaded love of jesus christ.
  • 00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:52.862
  • (titles swoosh)
  • 00:12:53.262 --> 00:12:54.763
  • - let us look at those economic issues, a few months ago.
  • 00:12:54.763 --> 00:12:56.999
  • - good morning governor.
  • 00:12:56.999 --> 00:12:57.833
  • - good morning harry.
  • 00:12:57.833 --> 00:12:58.767
  • - [harry] i'm gonna ask you-
  • 00:12:58.767 --> 00:13:00.135
  • - [governor huckabee] you know, i've been working
  • 00:13:00.135 --> 00:13:01.704
  • In television in some form or another since the mid 1970s.
  • 00:13:01.704 --> 00:13:05.307
  • A lot of people may not know that.
  • 00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:07.509
  • But what i know, from all of those years,
  • 00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:10.279
  • Is that there has never been an environment in television
  • 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.816
  • That i've worked in quite like tbn.
  • 00:13:13.816 --> 00:13:16.819
  • It has been the most rewarding, fulfilling
  • 00:13:16.819 --> 00:13:20.389
  • And enjoyable experience that i've ever had.
  • 00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:24.426
  • In part, because there was a real mission involved,
  • 00:13:24.426 --> 00:13:27.429
  • The mission of getting the gospel to the world.
  • 00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:30.099
  • - but also because of the sense of family
  • 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.701
  • With the people that i had the privilege of working with.
  • 00:13:32.701 --> 00:13:36.305
  • And so, tbn has more than simply a message,
  • 00:13:36.305 --> 00:13:40.776
  • It has a mission,
  • 00:13:40.776 --> 00:13:42.678
  • And quite frankly, it has a culture,
  • 00:13:42.678 --> 00:13:45.147
  • A culture that fosters that sense of spiritual,
  • 00:13:45.147 --> 00:13:49.485
  • Maybe direction, spiritual intentionality
  • 00:13:50.286 --> 00:13:54.623
  • And that makes it very special.
  • 00:13:54.623 --> 00:13:56.592
  • - [show announcer] here's mike huckabee!
  • 00:13:56.592 --> 00:13:59.728
  • - one of the things hosting a show on tbn
  • 00:13:59.728 --> 00:14:02.197
  • For seven and a half years,
  • 00:14:02.197 --> 00:14:04.033
  • We had a studio audience
  • 00:14:04.033 --> 00:14:05.968
  • And we had people from all 50 states,
  • 00:14:05.968 --> 00:14:09.338
  • Almost 70,000 people in the audience
  • 00:14:09.338 --> 00:14:11.907
  • Over the course of the show.
  • 00:14:11.907 --> 00:14:13.776
  • What was amazing
  • 00:14:13.776 --> 00:14:15.110
  • Was how many people came from other countries.
  • 00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:18.013
  • We had people from europe, from australia, from scandinavia,
  • 00:14:18.013 --> 00:14:22.451
  • Certainly from canada and mexico,
  • 00:14:22.451 --> 00:14:25.120
  • But they had watched the show on tbn
  • 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.257
  • In their home countries.
  • 00:14:28.257 --> 00:14:29.925
  • And that brought it home to us
  • 00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:31.593
  • That not only were they watching,
  • 00:14:31.593 --> 00:14:32.828
  • But they felt so connected
  • 00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.697
  • That when they made a visit to the united states,
  • 00:14:34.697 --> 00:14:37.666
  • They wanted to include coming to a tbn television taping.
  • 00:14:37.666 --> 00:14:43.138
  • But we would hear from viewers from all over the world.
  • 00:14:44.239 --> 00:14:48.243
  • And i cannot tell you how
  • 00:14:48.243 --> 00:14:50.179
  • It just solidified this clear reality
  • 00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:55.517
  • That tbn is not just a television network
  • 00:14:56.385 --> 00:14:58.487
  • That's touching people in the united states,
  • 00:14:58.487 --> 00:15:01.190
  • But truly all over the globe.
  • 00:15:01.190 --> 00:15:04.126
  • There's really no better bang for the buck, if you will,
  • 00:15:05.260 --> 00:15:09.631
  • To put it in crass terms, than to help tbn get its mission
  • 00:15:09.631 --> 00:15:15.070
  • Of getting the gospel to the world
  • 00:15:15.838 --> 00:15:18.173
  • Because nobody else has the reach, they just don't.
  • 00:15:18.173 --> 00:15:21.276
  • And it's been said that if people
  • 00:15:21.276 --> 00:15:24.213
  • Are watching christian television,
  • 00:15:24.213 --> 00:15:26.415
  • 85% of them are watching it on tbn.
  • 00:15:26.415 --> 00:15:30.552
  • So if you're truly going to get the message
  • 00:15:30.552 --> 00:15:33.389
  • To people across the entire planet,
  • 00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:37.092
  • There's just no better way to do it than through tbn.
  • 00:15:37.092 --> 00:15:41.130
  • - how do you do the impossible?
  • 00:15:41.764 --> 00:15:44.366
  • How do you do it?
  • 00:15:44.366 --> 00:15:45.768
  • You respond to the voice of the lord.
  • 00:15:45.768 --> 00:15:49.371
  • The global impact of tbn is his responsibility.
  • 00:15:49.371 --> 00:15:53.709
  • All we are to do is lift his name up.
  • 00:15:53.709 --> 00:15:57.312
  • "if i be lifted up, i will draw all men unto me."
  • 00:15:57.312 --> 00:16:02.584
  • So when you look back over the global impact,
  • 00:16:03.552 --> 00:16:05.621
  • Multiple languages around the world,
  • 00:16:05.621 --> 00:16:08.457
  • Multiple studio facilities being created,
  • 00:16:08.457 --> 00:16:12.694
  • Content being created in multiple languages,
  • 00:16:12.694 --> 00:16:15.631
  • It ultimately is our responsibility to
  • 00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:19.068
  • Do one simple thing,
  • 00:16:19.068 --> 00:16:22.404
  • Lift up the name of jesus.
  • 00:16:22.404 --> 00:16:24.473
  • We don't talk about other religions,
  • 00:16:24.473 --> 00:16:26.341
  • We don't talk about other themes,
  • 00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:28.677
  • We don't put anybody down, we don't do anything.
  • 00:16:28.677 --> 00:16:31.780
  • Our job is to lift jesus up
  • 00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:34.550
  • And to have himself draw people to himself.
  • 00:16:34.550 --> 00:16:37.719
  • So testimony after testimony,
  • 00:16:37.719 --> 00:16:40.189
  • You're going to hear on this broadcast
  • 00:16:40.189 --> 00:16:42.591
  • About the world impact of tbn,
  • 00:16:42.591 --> 00:16:45.461
  • But it's really very simple,
  • 00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:46.862
  • You simply circle back to the very beginning.
  • 00:16:46.862 --> 00:16:49.598
  • And the very beginning was the voice of the lord
  • 00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:52.301
  • Speaking to paul and jan crouch, my folks.
  • 00:16:52.301 --> 00:16:55.104
  • And just very simply, to create tbn,
  • 00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:58.774
  • He released my parents from the work that they were doing,
  • 00:16:58.774 --> 00:17:02.478
  • He called them into christian television
  • 00:17:02.478 --> 00:17:05.047
  • And they simply responded to the voice of the lord.
  • 00:17:05.047 --> 00:17:07.549
  • Think of, back when you think of moses
  • 00:17:07.549 --> 00:17:11.386
  • And the most incredible thing that happened,
  • 00:17:11.386 --> 00:17:13.789
  • The slaves, the 400,000 slaves,
  • 00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:17.126
  • Led out, given their own land, that whole thing,
  • 00:17:17.126 --> 00:17:20.762
  • That was simply a response to the burning bush
  • 00:17:20.762 --> 00:17:25.334
  • And so god speaks, we respond to that
  • 00:17:25.334 --> 00:17:29.505
  • And that's when amazing things happen.
  • 00:17:29.505 --> 00:17:32.207
  • And for 52 years,
  • 00:17:32.207 --> 00:17:34.009
  • We have simply been stewards of that voice.
  • 00:17:34.009 --> 00:17:38.647
  • It was his voice that created tbn and partners
  • 00:17:38.647 --> 00:17:42.384
  • Because of you and your impact financially,
  • 00:17:42.384 --> 00:17:46.255
  • Okay, without the partners,
  • 00:17:46.255 --> 00:17:48.390
  • Without sitting down on little kind of moments like this
  • 00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:53.695
  • And simply explaining to you
  • 00:17:54.296 --> 00:17:56.265
  • That there isn't anything we can do on our own,
  • 00:17:56.265 --> 00:17:59.134
  • But together we can do anything
  • 00:17:59.134 --> 00:18:01.303
  • And my parents really kind of proved that point out,
  • 00:18:01.303 --> 00:18:04.072
  • 52 years ago, they looked into a camera all those years ago
  • 00:18:04.072 --> 00:18:07.509
  • And said, "we would like to make this channel about jesus,
  • 00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:12.781
  • 24 hours a day, will you help us?"
  • 00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:17.252
  • And for 52 years, guess what,
  • 00:18:17.252 --> 00:18:19.321
  • The response to that has been yes.
  • 00:18:19.321 --> 00:18:22.424
  • And now multiple languages around the world,
  • 00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:25.661
  • Multiple feeds, all kinds of content.
  • 00:18:25.661 --> 00:18:28.597
  • One thing is.
  • 00:18:28.597 --> 00:18:30.699
  • - to happen,
  • 00:18:31.033 --> 00:18:32.401
  • To lift the name of jesus up around the world
  • 00:18:32.401 --> 00:18:34.236
  • And to have it impact people's lives all over the world.
  • 00:18:34.236 --> 00:18:38.974
  • - you know, what i love about it is that,
  • 00:18:38.974 --> 00:18:41.910
  • Those many years ago, when it was all beginning,
  • 00:18:41.910 --> 00:18:44.713
  • Even my own grandparents,
  • 00:18:44.713 --> 00:18:46.982
  • - oh, wow. - were a part of tbn,
  • 00:18:46.982 --> 00:18:49.151
  • And i just kinda wonder what they'd think about today
  • 00:18:49.151 --> 00:18:52.688
  • To see all the beautiful things that have happened
  • 00:18:52.688 --> 00:18:54.923
  • Around the world
  • 00:18:54.923 --> 00:18:56.825
  • Because of just little commitments.
  • 00:18:56.825 --> 00:18:58.694
  • The little, "hey, i believe in that.
  • 00:18:58.694 --> 00:19:01.463
  • I'm gonna sit down and i'm gonna write my little $5 check.
  • 00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:04.099
  • I'm gonna write my little $10 check a month,"
  • 00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:07.769
  • And those partners that were so faithful,
  • 00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:10.272
  • So faithful then, and so faithful now,
  • 00:19:11.106 --> 00:19:13.742
  • Committed to the message that has never changed.
  • 00:19:13.742 --> 00:19:17.346
  • It has been to lift up the name of jesus,
  • 00:19:18.247 --> 00:19:20.482
  • To spread hope and grace, to sick in a dying society.
  • 00:19:20.482 --> 00:19:24.453
  • People that are yearning to know truth, to know faith,
  • 00:19:24.453 --> 00:19:28.857
  • To know goodness, to have hope.
  • 00:19:28.857 --> 00:19:32.227
  • The message has never changed,
  • 00:19:32.227 --> 00:19:33.862
  • And so, we just do our part
  • 00:19:33.862 --> 00:19:36.064
  • As everybody does their part,
  • 00:19:36.698 --> 00:19:38.333
  • Because tbn would be nothing without the voices on it
  • 00:19:38.333 --> 00:19:41.603
  • And without the people that watch it.
  • 00:19:41.603 --> 00:19:43.605
  • So to you around the world that have loved this ministry,
  • 00:19:43.605 --> 00:19:47.209
  • Who have supported this ministry, even one time,
  • 00:19:47.209 --> 00:19:50.479
  • You know, you are a part of something
  • 00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:52.581
  • That's so much bigger than any of us could ever do alone.
  • 00:19:52.581 --> 00:19:57.853
  • God has done this with his family around the world,
  • 00:19:58.887 --> 00:20:01.223
  • And i'm just so happy to be a part of it.
  • 00:20:01.223 --> 00:20:05.427
  • - joel, we have been in china together,
  • 00:20:06.261 --> 00:20:11.633
  • We've been in russia together,
  • 00:20:12.267 --> 00:20:13.568
  • We've been in the middle east together,
  • 00:20:13.568 --> 00:20:16.972
  • We've been in a lot of places.
  • 00:20:16.972 --> 00:20:19.574
  • And, you know, when you start kind of going over
  • 00:20:19.574 --> 00:20:24.112
  • And retracing our steps,
  • 00:20:24.112 --> 00:20:26.481
  • Our parents would've only prayed,
  • 00:20:26.481 --> 00:20:28.116
  • "god, could we have, you know, impact
  • 00:20:28.116 --> 00:20:32.287
  • In our city, at first?
  • 00:20:32.788 --> 00:20:34.856
  • Couldn't we have impact in our state, in our nation?"
  • 00:20:34.856 --> 00:20:38.460
  • And in our lifetimes, we can now think globally.
  • 00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:43.699
  • First, when we were young guys,
  • 00:20:44.333 --> 00:20:45.901
  • Satellites came around
  • 00:20:45.901 --> 00:20:47.302
  • And we started putting satellite signals.
  • 00:20:47.302 --> 00:20:49.237
  • Now we have this thing called the internet,
  • 00:20:49.237 --> 00:20:52.240
  • And i like to describe the internet
  • 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.178
  • As basically just a cable system
  • 00:20:56.812 --> 00:20:58.814
  • That's been built by all the biggest companies in the world
  • 00:20:58.814 --> 00:21:02.050
  • That has connected every device on planet earth.
  • 00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:05.554
  • Big screens, small screens,
  • 00:21:05.554 --> 00:21:07.989
  • Every size of screen in between.
  • 00:21:07.989 --> 00:21:10.359
  • So we get to think globally,
  • 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.561
  • And we get to think global impact in our day
  • 00:21:12.561 --> 00:21:16.398
  • - of the impact of tbn all over the world.
  • 00:21:16.398 --> 00:21:19.000
  • Like you said, we grew up
  • 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.302
  • And it was impacting southern california,
  • 00:21:20.302 --> 00:21:22.504
  • And our cities in houston,
  • 00:21:22.504 --> 00:21:23.972
  • And, you know, that's phenomenal to impact the us,
  • 00:21:23.972 --> 00:21:26.641
  • But as you mentioned, we've traveled the world.
  • 00:21:26.641 --> 00:21:28.977
  • You've taken me to control rooms
  • 00:21:28.977 --> 00:21:30.946
  • In cities across the world.
  • 00:21:30.946 --> 00:21:33.014
  • And i went to see my brother paul in nigeria.
  • 00:21:33.014 --> 00:21:36.284
  • He was operating back in a tenwek hospital,
  • 00:21:36.284 --> 00:21:39.020
  • And this was probably 10 or 15 years ago.
  • 00:21:39.020 --> 00:21:41.556
  • And i got off the plane in kenya,
  • 00:21:41.556 --> 00:21:43.859
  • And everybody was staring at me,
  • 00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:45.627
  • You know, through the airport,
  • 00:21:45.627 --> 00:21:46.862
  • And, i mean, i was just been doing this
  • 00:21:46.862 --> 00:21:48.497
  • For five or six years.
  • 00:21:48.497 --> 00:21:50.031
  • Well, little did i realize, tbn's impact across africa.
  • 00:21:50.031 --> 00:21:54.603
  • I was more well known in africa than i was in the us,
  • 00:21:54.603 --> 00:21:58.206
  • And i thought, "what? how did they know me?"
  • 00:21:58.206 --> 00:22:00.542
  • And everybody, "tbn, tbn!"
  • 00:22:00.542 --> 00:22:02.477
  • So it was an amazing thing.
  • 00:22:02.477 --> 00:22:04.646
  • - tbn's been on the air in africa since 1981.
  • 00:22:04.646 --> 00:22:08.049
  • - wow, that's phenomenal.
  • 00:22:08.049 --> 00:22:09.251
  • And then you go down to the south,
  • 00:22:09.251 --> 00:22:10.986
  • Everybody watches on in enlace.
  • 00:22:10.986 --> 00:22:12.954
  • And so, people come up and visit the church,
  • 00:22:12.954 --> 00:22:15.657
  • Don't even speak english.
  • 00:22:15.657 --> 00:22:16.758
  • Always ask through the translator,
  • 00:22:16.758 --> 00:22:17.993
  • "how do you know?" it's always enlace.
  • 00:22:17.993 --> 00:22:20.262
  • (matt speaking spanish)
  • 00:22:20.262 --> 00:22:22.464
  • - (laughs) i don't know what you said,
  • 00:22:22.464 --> 00:22:24.065
  • But i'll get into it.
  • 00:22:24.065 --> 00:22:25.467
  • You know, but i would just think, the impact,
  • 00:22:25.467 --> 00:22:27.502
  • It's hard to fathom until you travel
  • 00:22:27.502 --> 00:22:30.572
  • And you see what is happening right out of the studio
  • 00:22:30.572 --> 00:22:34.276
  • And control centers here.
  • 00:22:34.276 --> 00:22:35.577
  • And so, it's a day that i think, years ago,
  • 00:22:35.577 --> 00:22:38.947
  • We would've never dreamed of.
  • 00:22:38.947 --> 00:22:40.315
  • - here's the point.
  • 00:22:40.315 --> 00:22:41.583
  • Impact though, you know, as we sit here,
  • 00:22:41.583 --> 00:22:44.019
  • Tbn, i view it like if you had a beautiful mall in a city.
  • 00:22:44.019 --> 00:22:49.858
  • You know, a beautiful mall.
  • 00:22:50.459 --> 00:22:52.160
  • But if that mall doesn't have stores
  • 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.030
  • That has merchandise that somebody wants
  • 00:22:55.030 --> 00:22:56.932
  • To come in and buy,
  • 00:22:56.932 --> 00:22:58.533
  • Do you really have anything?
  • 00:22:58.533 --> 00:23:00.502
  • No.
  • 00:23:00.502 --> 00:23:01.870
  • You have a big, empty place. - ghost town.
  • 00:23:01.870 --> 00:23:03.738
  • - you know, and i mean, there's a mall in a city
  • 00:23:03.738 --> 00:23:06.875
  • That we go to sometimes.
  • 00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:08.343
  • It looks like there's nine people in the parking lot.
  • 00:23:08.343 --> 00:23:10.579
  • And apparently, they don't have the right stores
  • 00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:13.048
  • In the right area for the right people and the right,
  • 00:23:13.048 --> 00:23:15.650
  • And that's how we feel.
  • 00:23:15.650 --> 00:23:17.519
  • So the partnership of content
  • 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.889
  • And the distribution of what trinity has
  • 00:23:20.889 --> 00:23:25.327
  • Is a hand in glove environment.
  • 00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:28.730
  • So without the right
  • 00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:30.665
  • - messages, that are saying the right things to help people
  • 00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:34.135
  • With the right things they're dealing with.
  • 00:23:34.135 --> 00:23:36.771
  • You don't really have anything. so impact is twofold, yeah.
  • 00:23:36.771 --> 00:23:41.376
  • You have to have a system to get it out there.
  • 00:23:41.376 --> 00:23:43.945
  • And for 51 years we've been doing that pretty well
  • 00:23:43.945 --> 00:23:47.682
  • And my mom and dad,
  • 00:23:47.682 --> 00:23:50.085
  • With your mom and dad kind of started that era.
  • 00:23:50.085 --> 00:23:53.021
  • You've been a tv station owner in your own city.
  • 00:23:53.021 --> 00:23:57.025
  • And so that's the idea.
  • 00:23:57.025 --> 00:23:59.227
  • But content has to be right and for that, thank you.
  • 00:23:59.227 --> 00:24:04.165
  • - oh, thank you. well, you are doing it beautifully.
  • 00:24:04.165 --> 00:24:07.102
  • (soft music)
  • 00:24:07.102 --> 00:24:09.838
  • - greetings from lone hill, johannesburg, south africa.

  • I'm lakim miko, managing director of tbn africa.

  • To develop a fast channel.
  • 00:25:24.012 --> 00:25:25.880
  • Isn't that exciting?
  • 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.482
  • We are eager to see what god has in store
  • 00:25:27.482 --> 00:25:30.752

  • 00:25:30.752 --> 00:25:34.623

  • Enlace isn't just a network, it's a movement.

  • One that inspires hope, strength, and space,

  • 00:26:35.784 --> 00:26:37.986
  • - hello from rehel pakistan.
  • 00:26:37.986 --> 00:26:39.521
  • I'm pastor with jesus christ television, pakistan.
  • 00:26:39.521 --> 00:26:42.824

  • Of more than 300 million urdu-hindi speaking people.
  • 00:26:54.335 --> 00:26:58.239
  • For over 20 years, we had had the privilege
  • 00:26:58.239 --> 00:27:00.875
  • Of delivering faith focused program
  • 00:27:00.875 --> 00:27:04.546
  • To homes across pakistan, india, and beyond.
  • 00:27:04.546 --> 00:27:08.750

  • Altogether 221 million.
  • 00:27:24.132 --> 00:27:27.669
  • But our mission goes far beyond television.
  • 00:27:27.669 --> 00:27:30.238
  • Our heart is to meet people wherever they are,
  • 00:27:30.238 --> 00:27:33.808
  • Which is why we are developing digital media network.
  • 00:27:33.808 --> 00:27:37.612
  • We are building a vibrant online community
  • 00:27:37.612 --> 00:27:40.115
  • On facebook, youtube, whatsapp groups, and tiktok.
  • 00:27:40.115 --> 00:27:44.285
  • For us, jctv is not a television network only,
  • 00:27:45.186 --> 00:27:49.591
  • But mission from heaven to reach to unsaved,
  • 00:27:49.591 --> 00:27:54.162
  • Give hope and strengthen faith.
  • 00:27:54.162 --> 00:27:57.198
  • (upbeat music)
  • 00:27:57.198 --> 00:28:00.301
  • - tbn started more than 50 years ago, 1973.
  • 00:28:01.236 --> 00:28:04.973
  • And i remember
  • 00:28:04.973 --> 00:28:08.777
  • What christian tv was like back then.
  • 00:28:08.777 --> 00:28:12.247
  • You know, lowell lundstrom had a tv show.
  • 00:28:12.247 --> 00:28:17.051
  • Orville roberts had a couple of episodes.
  • 00:28:17.051 --> 00:28:19.954
  • You know, robert schuler was in our local area.
  • 00:28:19.954 --> 00:28:23.525
  • Rex tobar sang and did a little bit of stuff.
  • 00:28:23.525 --> 00:28:26.194
  • And so what christian tv was in 1970.
  • 00:28:26.194 --> 00:28:30.632
  • - free, was whatever we could create in our little studio
  • 00:28:31.800 --> 00:28:34.202
  • In santa ana, california.
  • 00:28:34.202 --> 00:28:36.404
  • So, i mean, if somebody had a bible, you know,
  • 00:28:36.404 --> 00:28:40.508
  • And all of their front teeth,
  • 00:28:40.508 --> 00:28:42.510
  • And could, you know, kinda open up,
  • 00:28:42.510 --> 00:28:44.712
  • We were happy to have you on camera, you know?
  • 00:28:44.712 --> 00:28:47.515
  • And so, you know, at some point,
  • 00:28:47.515 --> 00:28:50.952
  • We have largely come a long way in a generation.
  • 00:28:51.886 --> 00:28:57.725
  • And here we sit today,
  • 00:28:58.226 --> 00:29:00.395
  • You know, this beautiful facility
  • 00:29:01.129 --> 00:29:02.864
  • Here in murfreesboro, tennessee.
  • 00:29:02.864 --> 00:29:05.834
  • And it's funny because you were telling me earlier
  • 00:29:06.868 --> 00:29:10.104
  • That you're almost like a reluctant, you
  • 00:29:10.104 --> 00:29:13.041
  • Know, tv preacher,
  • 00:29:13.041 --> 00:29:14.409
  • You know, that that wasn't your thing, that wasn't your bag.
  • 00:29:14.409 --> 00:29:17.445
  • Tell us a little about what you were telling us earlier.
  • 00:29:17.445 --> 00:29:21.883
  • - well, i almost missed a part of god's assignment for me.
  • 00:29:21.883 --> 00:29:25.186
  • - really? - because i didn't like
  • 00:29:25.186 --> 00:29:26.521
  • Tv preachers.
  • 00:29:26.521 --> 00:29:27.956
  • But if i'm really honest,
  • 00:29:27.956 --> 00:29:29.157
  • It's because i didn't have any access.
  • 00:29:29.157 --> 00:29:31.960
  • - heyo.
  • 00:29:32.227 --> 00:29:33.361
  • - i mean, if you really peel it back,
  • 00:29:33.361 --> 00:29:34.963
  • I think i was critical of something
  • 00:29:34.963 --> 00:29:36.331
  • I didn't know anything about.
  • 00:29:36.331 --> 00:29:38.066
  • They were having an influence i didn't have.
  • 00:29:38.066 --> 00:29:39.968
  • They impacted more people.
  • 00:29:39.968 --> 00:29:42.303
  • I think we have that same kind of bias
  • 00:29:42.303 --> 00:29:43.771
  • Between big church, small church.
  • 00:29:43.771 --> 00:29:45.440
  • There's no perfect size church.
  • 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.475
  • We have an assignment
  • 00:29:47.475 --> 00:29:48.810
  • To communicate the gospel to our generation.
  • 00:29:48.810 --> 00:29:51.346
  • I'm a pastor, that's where i spent most of my life.
  • 00:29:51.346 --> 00:29:53.715
  • I know the details of church,
  • 00:29:53.715 --> 00:29:55.617
  • And i thought to minister to people,
  • 00:29:55.617 --> 00:29:57.318
  • I needed to be sure i took really good care of the babies
  • 00:29:57.318 --> 00:29:59.420
  • And the children and parked their cars
  • 00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:01.055
  • And provide small groups and all those things.
  • 00:30:01.055 --> 00:30:04.559
  • I mean, i still do weddings and funerals and small groups.
  • 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:07.729
  • I still do pastor stuff.
  • 00:30:07.729 --> 00:30:09.697
  • But when we started being involved, god,
  • 00:30:10.565 --> 00:30:13.034
  • It was almost unavoidable.
  • 00:30:13.601 --> 00:30:15.069
  • I mean, i could have avoided it, but it was there.
  • 00:30:15.069 --> 00:30:17.572
  • And when i said yes, something has surprised me.
  • 00:30:17.572 --> 00:30:20.642
  • Every week now, we have people visiting our congregation
  • 00:30:20.642 --> 00:30:23.511
  • From across this nation or around the world.
  • 00:30:23.511 --> 00:30:26.180
  • And i don't mean they're just like from the southeastern.
  • 00:30:27.348 --> 00:30:29.350
  • They're here from rhode island and wisconsin
  • 00:30:29.350 --> 00:30:31.185
  • And they have strange accents and they say,
  • 00:30:31.185 --> 00:30:34.255
  • "we came because god changed my life as i listened."
  • 00:30:34.255 --> 00:30:39.494
  • And they watch on their phones,
  • 00:30:40.128 --> 00:30:41.396
  • And they don't even know how they watch.
  • 00:30:41.396 --> 00:30:43.331
  • And some of them say, "absolutely, you know,
  • 00:30:43.331 --> 00:30:45.133
  • Every sunday at 11 o'clock or every evening at six o'clock."
  • 00:30:45.133 --> 00:30:49.237
  • And others don't even know.
  • 00:30:49.237 --> 00:30:50.405
  • But they have these reports of...
  • 00:30:50.405 --> 00:30:51.773
  • And well, tell me about the life change.
  • 00:30:51.773 --> 00:30:53.241
  • There's healings.
  • 00:30:53.241 --> 00:30:54.575
  • Their families are healed, they're delivered.
  • 00:30:54.575 --> 00:30:58.413
  • It completely broke my paradigm.
  • 00:30:58.413 --> 00:31:01.082
  • - wow. - 'cause i'm not caring
  • 00:31:01.082 --> 00:31:02.383
  • For their children or rocking their babies
  • 00:31:02.383 --> 00:31:03.851
  • Or parking their cars.
  • 00:31:03.851 --> 00:31:05.620
  • They don't care what seat is open in the sanctuary.
  • 00:31:05.620 --> 00:31:08.523
  • And i learned that god's desire to help people is so great,
  • 00:31:09.657 --> 00:31:12.694
  • He'll use the talking donkey.
  • 00:31:12.694 --> 00:31:14.495
  • And i get way heated up about architectural style
  • 00:31:15.463 --> 00:31:18.900
  • And what's the clothing of the presenter
  • 00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:21.035
  • And what style of worship.
  • 00:31:21.035 --> 00:31:22.704
  • We need to get over ourselves
  • 00:31:22.704 --> 00:31:24.639
  • And take the good news of jesus christ, our generation.
  • 00:31:24.639 --> 00:31:28.109
  • We'll shout it from a house top with a megaphone.
  • 00:31:28.109 --> 00:31:30.378
  • I'm honored to stand with tbn.
  • 00:31:30.378 --> 00:31:32.714
  • We are going to preach the gospel in this generation.
  • 00:31:32.714 --> 00:31:35.416
  • The fruit of it is evident,
  • 00:31:35.416 --> 00:31:38.052
  • And i can't wait to see what's next.
  • 00:31:38.052 --> 00:31:39.554
  • (gentle music)
  • 00:31:39.554 --> 00:31:41.089
  • - you know, you're talking about a church without walls now,
  • 00:31:41.089 --> 00:31:46.294
  • And you're going outside,
  • 00:31:46.828 --> 00:31:49.297
  • So technology is just amplifying your voice.
  • 00:31:49.297 --> 00:31:53.935
  • And you realize, you know,
  • 00:31:53.935 --> 00:31:55.536
  • If you go back to our grandparents' generation,
  • 00:31:55.536 --> 00:31:58.072
  • That wasn't gonna happen, you know,
  • 00:31:58.072 --> 00:32:00.041
  • Because technology of radio,
  • 00:32:00.041 --> 00:32:02.176
  • That came about and movies largely, lord help us.
  • 00:32:02.176 --> 00:32:05.713
  • The one-eyed demon, which was the tv set,
  • 00:32:05.713 --> 00:32:08.883
  • Was going to take all the righteousness away
  • 00:32:08.883 --> 00:32:12.320
  • From christians.
  • 00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:13.254
  • We had to be separate,
  • 00:32:13.254 --> 00:32:14.722
  • Come out from amongst the world and be separate.
  • 00:32:14.722 --> 00:32:18.059
  • And my dad's generation largely neutralized that position
  • 00:32:18.059 --> 00:32:22.897
  • And said, "wait a second, technology's neutral.
  • 00:32:22.897 --> 00:32:26.267
  • The intention of the person speaking
  • 00:32:26.267 --> 00:32:28.636
  • Is what's gonna cause it to be a force of good or evil."
  • 00:32:28.636 --> 00:32:31.672
  • And now that argument's in the rear view mirror,
  • 00:32:31.672 --> 00:32:35.043
  • And we're a generation that is using
  • 00:32:35.043 --> 00:32:37.011
  • Everything and anything to get the gospel out,
  • 00:32:37.011 --> 00:32:40.248
  • And you were a reluctant participant of that.
  • 00:32:40.248 --> 00:32:43.084
  • - i was, but you have modeled something.
  • 00:32:43.084 --> 00:32:45.420
  • Every generation also has to follow the lord.
  • 00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:48.556
  • To be a leader, you have to be a good follower.
  • 00:32:49.457 --> 00:32:53.261
  • And you have provided leadership
  • 00:32:53.261 --> 00:32:54.595
  • To continue to bring tbn forward.
  • 00:32:54.595 --> 00:32:56.531
  • You're not just doing it
  • 00:32:56.531 --> 00:32:57.899
  • The way you saw your father do it 40 years ago.
  • 00:32:57.899 --> 00:33:00.334
  • You took those lessons and that vision,
  • 00:33:00.334 --> 00:33:03.404
  • And you are giving an expression now
  • 00:33:03.404 --> 00:33:04.872
  • At the beginning of the 21st century.
  • 00:33:04.872 --> 00:33:07.508
  • And we've got to continue to do that.
  • 00:33:07.508 --> 00:33:09.243
  • We wanna find the ideal place and say,
  • 00:33:09.243 --> 00:33:11.279
  • This was the holy spot in history,
  • 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.514
  • Without electricity and a horse and a buggy
  • 00:33:13.514 --> 00:33:16.184
  • Or without a television set.
  • 00:33:16.184 --> 00:33:17.552
  • There's no such thing.
  • 00:33:17.552 --> 00:33:19.187
  • Those seasons were not free of sin.
  • 00:33:19.954 --> 00:33:22.023
  • And i think what you're doing
  • 00:33:22.023 --> 00:33:23.925
  • Is inviting the whole body of christ to say,
  • 00:33:23.925 --> 00:33:25.993
  • We're gonna continue to follow the lord
  • 00:33:25.993 --> 00:33:28.930
  • And let the gospel be-
  • 00:33:28.930 --> 00:33:30.598
  • - proclaim through whatever tools he makes available.
  • 00:33:31.699 --> 00:33:33.000
  • There's new tools emerging.
  • 00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:34.302
  • We're gonna use those for the gospel too.
  • 00:33:34.302 --> 00:33:36.571
  • Scripture says, "declare his glory among the nations,
  • 00:33:36.571 --> 00:33:39.273
  • "his marvelous deeds among all people."
  • 00:33:39.273 --> 00:33:42.043
  • That's the heart of tbn's mission,
  • 00:33:42.043 --> 00:33:44.045
  • To make jesus known worldwide.
  • 00:33:44.045 --> 00:33:46.514
  • With your gift of just $20 or more,
  • 00:33:46.514 --> 00:33:48.416
  • You'll not only further our efforts,
  • 00:33:48.416 --> 00:33:50.318
  • But you'll also receive the,
  • 00:33:50.318 --> 00:33:51.652
  • "here's hope new testament,"

  • - greg, we've been searching around a little bit
  • 00:34:07.869 --> 00:34:10.304
  • For some of the stories in regard to, you know,
  • 00:34:10.304 --> 00:34:15.209
  • Impact of broadcasting around the world,
  • 00:34:16.077 --> 00:34:20.214
  • Impact of christian television, impact of trinity.
  • 00:34:20.214 --> 00:34:24.418
  • What comes to your mind if we talk about
  • 00:34:24.418 --> 00:34:26.754
  • Impact of christian television and tv specifically?
  • 00:34:26.754 --> 00:34:30.424
  • - it starts with a bullet that was mailed to me.
  • 00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:34.395
  • Pretty weird thing to have mailed to you.
  • 00:34:34.395 --> 00:34:37.398
  • But when i read the letter, i understood.
  • 00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:40.968
  • There was a man who went
  • 00:34:40.968 --> 00:34:42.537
  • And fought for our country in vietnam.
  • 00:34:42.537 --> 00:34:44.772
  • He came back with severe ptsd,
  • 00:34:44.772 --> 00:34:47.642
  • He had been drinking all night,
  • 00:34:47.642 --> 00:34:49.744
  • And he pulled out a gun,
  • 00:34:49.744 --> 00:34:50.945
  • And decided to take his own life.
  • 00:34:50.945 --> 00:34:54.182
  • He held the gun up to his head,
  • 00:34:54.182 --> 00:34:55.883
  • And was getting ready to pull the trigger,
  • 00:34:55.883 --> 00:34:58.719
  • And out of fear,
  • 00:34:58.719 --> 00:34:59.687
  • He just set it down,
  • 00:34:59.687 --> 00:35:01.422
  • And he picked up his remote control,
  • 00:35:02.223 --> 00:35:04.425
  • And he turned on the tv, and it came to tbn.
  • 00:35:04.425 --> 00:35:07.895
  • I was speaking at the harvest crusade,
  • 00:35:07.895 --> 00:35:10.798
  • And i don't know what i said,
  • 00:35:10.798 --> 00:35:12.533
  • But something got through to him, and he had hope,
  • 00:35:12.533 --> 00:35:16.003
  • And he prayed with me, and gave his life to christ.
  • 00:35:16.003 --> 00:35:19.540
  • Immediately he got on his motorcycle
  • 00:35:19.540 --> 00:35:22.343
  • And went to reconcile with this father,
  • 00:35:22.343 --> 00:35:25.012
  • Who lived really far away,
  • 00:35:25.012 --> 00:35:26.847
  • Who he'd been estranged from,
  • 00:35:26.847 --> 00:35:28.916
  • And made a deep commitment to christ.
  • 00:35:28.916 --> 00:35:31.285
  • And i'd later met him.
  • 00:35:31.285 --> 00:35:32.987
  • And, but when i, when i held this bullet in my hand,
  • 00:35:32.987 --> 00:35:37.158
  • I just thought, "this is a representation
  • 00:35:37.158 --> 00:35:39.493
  • "of other people out there,
  • 00:35:39.493 --> 00:35:41.762
  • "that maybe you would never get
  • 00:35:41.762 --> 00:35:43.130
  • "to darken the doorway of a church,
  • 00:35:43.130 --> 00:35:46.033
  • "but they might come across some of the programming of tbn,
  • 00:35:46.033 --> 00:35:50.738
  • "and for the first time in their life, hear the gospel."
  • 00:35:50.738 --> 00:35:53.641
  • - we're sitting in a studio, greg, that was built in 1975,
  • 00:35:53.641 --> 00:35:58.980
  • You know, not long after you came to christ,
  • 00:35:59.847 --> 00:36:01.716
  • Not long after, you know, i mean, orange county,
  • 00:36:01.716 --> 00:36:05.253
  • You know, is this kind of epicenter.
  • 00:36:06.053 --> 00:36:08.823
  • I mean, we, we all got to experience "jesus revolution,"
  • 00:36:08.823 --> 00:36:11.692
  • The film that came out recently that
  • 00:36:11.692 --> 00:36:14.095
  • Chronicled a lot of your story.
  • 00:36:14.095 --> 00:36:17.531
  • But it chronicled the rise of, you know,
  • 00:36:17.531 --> 00:36:21.669
  • The calvary chapel, and it,
  • 00:36:21.669 --> 00:36:25.306
  • And trinity was right...
  • 00:36:25.306 --> 00:36:26.941
  • And, you know, at one point- - a lot happened in 1970.
  • 00:36:26.941 --> 00:36:29.944
  • - [matt] just a lot. - yeah.
  • 00:36:29.944 --> 00:36:31.245
  • - the early seventies movement.
  • 00:36:31.245 --> 00:36:32.780
  • - yes. - you know.
  • 00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:33.748
  • 1973 is when tbn was started.
  • 00:36:33.748 --> 00:36:36.584
  • - [greg] yeah. - and to think that
  • 00:36:36.584 --> 00:36:39.453
  • All these years later, 51 years later,
  • 00:36:40.288 --> 00:36:42.356
  • We sit here literally, you know,
  • 00:36:42.356 --> 00:36:46.394
  • You got less hair.
  • 00:36:46.394 --> 00:36:47.762
  • - 52 years later. - mine's a different color.
  • 00:36:47.762 --> 00:36:48.963
  • - we're getting older.
  • 00:36:48.963 --> 00:36:50.898
  • - you have retained all of your hair, matt.
  • 00:36:50.898 --> 00:36:52.767
  • - [matt] yep. - you should be-
  • 00:36:52.767 --> 00:36:54.168
  • - [matt] thank god for that. - very happy about that.
  • 00:36:54.168 --> 00:36:55.603
  • - yeah. and- - wait.
  • 00:36:55.603 --> 00:36:56.871
  • That's on a hair piece, is it?
  • 00:36:56.871 --> 00:36:58.272
  • - no, go ahead, pull.
  • 00:36:58.272 --> 00:37:00.207
  • - it moved a little.
  • 00:37:00.675 --> 00:37:01.876
  • (matt laughs) it did move a little.
  • 00:37:01.876 --> 00:37:04.312
  • - but we've been doing- - it's real.
  • 00:37:04.312 --> 00:37:05.780
  • - it's doing, we've been doing the same thing
  • 00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:07.782
  • For all these years. - yes.
  • 00:37:07.782 --> 00:37:09.350
  • - isn't that great? - it's amazing. yeah.
  • 00:37:09.350 --> 00:37:11.352
  • Well, you know, it's just a wonderful thing, you know.
  • 00:37:11.352 --> 00:37:14.789
  • He comes into our life when we're young.
  • 00:37:14.789 --> 00:37:16.891
  • He's there in the middle of our life.
  • 00:37:16.891 --> 00:37:18.392
  • He's there toward the end of our life.
  • 00:37:18.392 --> 00:37:19.960
  • And then we go into eternity.
  • 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:21.562
  • You know, i love what david said,
  • 00:37:21.562 --> 00:37:23.264
  • Or instead of david, that he served god in his generation.
  • 00:37:23.264 --> 00:37:26.901
  • You know, our job, we have our generation.
  • 00:37:26.901 --> 00:37:29.537
  • It's to serve god in our generation.
  • 00:37:29.537 --> 00:37:31.806
  • Then when our job is done, sort of like a baton,
  • 00:37:31.806 --> 00:37:34.675
  • We hand it on to the next generation,
  • 00:37:34.675 --> 00:37:37.478
  • And then they carry that baton for a while,
  • 00:37:37.478 --> 00:37:39.580
  • And they hand it on to the next generation.
  • 00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:41.982
  • And then we, as we put our faith in christ,
  • 00:37:41.982 --> 00:37:45.286
  • We'll be in heaven, and we'll all be reunited one day.
  • 00:37:45.286 --> 00:37:48.022
  • - yeah. - you know,
  • 00:37:48.022 --> 00:37:49.290
  • What's crazy is that generation has changed.
  • 00:37:49.290 --> 00:37:52.159
  • We were the kids back then. - yes.
  • 00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:53.928

  • We're about to hand it off again, aren't we?
  • 00:38:04.405 --> 00:38:05.940

  • 00:42:01.742 --> 00:42:05.412
  • And together let's take the gospel
  • 00:42:05.412 --> 00:42:07.281
  • To every corner of the earth.
  • 00:42:07.281 --> 00:42:10.017
  • (title swooshes)
  • 00:42:10.384 --> 00:42:11.652
  • - hi everybody, i'm pastor rick warren,
  • 00:42:11.652 --> 00:42:13.621
  • Author of the purpose-driven life, purpose-driven church
  • 00:42:13.621 --> 00:42:17.725
  • And coordinator of the great commission allies.
  • 00:42:17.725 --> 00:42:23.163
  • I wanna say a word to you about tbn.
  • 00:42:23.964 --> 00:42:25.766
  • In my ministry, i've been in 165 nations.
  • 00:42:26.634 --> 00:42:30.971
  • Tbn is not a national broadcast.
  • 00:42:31.605 --> 00:42:35.576
  • It's everywhere. it's literally everywhere.
  • 00:42:36.510 --> 00:42:39.046
  • And i can tell you from personal experience,
  • 00:42:39.046 --> 00:42:41.515
  • I have met people in many, many, many, many, many, many,
  • 00:42:41.515 --> 00:42:45.653
  • Many, many countries who came to faith because of tbn.
  • 00:42:45.653 --> 00:42:49.823
  • I'm telling you that god raised up.
  • 00:42:50.624 --> 00:42:54.261
  • Every time god has raised up a new technology,
  • 00:42:54.261 --> 00:42:57.831
  • We've had revival breakout in the world.
  • 00:42:57.831 --> 00:43:00.401
  • When god gave us the printing press through gutenberg,
  • 00:43:00.401 --> 00:43:04.972
  • It wasn't for pornography, it was for the word of god.
  • 00:43:04.972 --> 00:43:09.476
  • It was the first thing was printed, was the bible.
  • 00:43:09.476 --> 00:43:12.346
  • And within 50 years of that technology,
  • 00:43:12.346 --> 00:43:15.449
  • We had the reformation and that changed the whole face
  • 00:43:15.449 --> 00:43:19.086
  • Of christianity and it's spread.
  • 00:43:19.086 --> 00:43:21.288
  • Christians have always been on the cutting edge
  • 00:43:21.288 --> 00:43:23.857
  • Of technology.
  • 00:43:23.857 --> 00:43:25.259
  • When radio came out, we used it when tv started,
  • 00:43:25.259 --> 00:43:28.562
  • We used it in the old-
  • 00:43:28.562 --> 00:43:30.097
  • - telescopes and things like that in the early days.
  • 00:43:31.165 --> 00:43:33.534
  • And tbn was a, what would you call a pioneer?
  • 00:43:33.534 --> 00:43:38.806
  • A pioneer.
  • 00:43:39.106 --> 00:43:40.040
  • And then as we moved into movies
  • 00:43:40.040 --> 00:43:41.675
  • And we moved into internet and we moved into social media
  • 00:43:41.675 --> 00:43:45.746
  • And we moved into all these things,
  • 00:43:45.746 --> 00:43:48.415
  • I'm looking for the day
  • 00:43:48.949 --> 00:43:50.184
  • That i can preach by hologram on tbn.
  • 00:43:50.184 --> 00:43:52.686
  • - [viewer] amen.
  • 00:43:52.686 --> 00:43:53.520
  • - okay and go all over.
  • 00:43:53.520 --> 00:43:54.922
  • But this is an important ministry
  • 00:43:54.922 --> 00:43:57.725
  • And an important ally in the great commission allies
  • 00:43:57.725 --> 00:44:01.128
  • As we are trying to complete the great commission
  • 00:44:01.128 --> 00:44:04.431
  • By the 2000th birthday of the church,
  • 00:44:05.232 --> 00:44:07.768
  • Which is june 5th, 2033.
  • 00:44:07.768 --> 00:44:10.804
  • Pentecost sunday, 2033 will be the 2000 pentecost.
  • 00:44:10.804 --> 00:44:15.242
  • When you support tbn,
  • 00:44:15.242 --> 00:44:18.345
  • You're supporting great commission work
  • 00:44:18.345 --> 00:44:20.647
  • All around the world.
  • 00:44:20.647 --> 00:44:22.249
  • Because in many ways it's like a war.
  • 00:44:22.249 --> 00:44:25.085
  • When, for instance, in the iraq war,
  • 00:44:25.085 --> 00:44:28.422
  • Before they ever sent in the ground troops,
  • 00:44:28.422 --> 00:44:30.791
  • The air force came in and the air force came in
  • 00:44:30.791 --> 00:44:33.894
  • And softened up the area,
  • 00:44:33.894 --> 00:44:35.696
  • And then the troops can come in after that.
  • 00:44:35.696 --> 00:44:38.832
  • I've often told these guys that i think
  • 00:44:38.832 --> 00:44:43.337
  • That tbn is the air force, okay.
  • 00:44:43.337 --> 00:44:46.440
  • And their god is using them in the great commission
  • 00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:49.576
  • To take the word of god to everywhere, to every place.
  • 00:44:49.576 --> 00:44:53.313
  • It's all the church using all their gifts in every place,
  • 00:44:53.313 --> 00:44:57.584
  • All places to all people, all for the glory of god.
  • 00:44:57.584 --> 00:45:01.488
  • That's what tbn is all about.
  • 00:45:01.488 --> 00:45:03.757
  • And if you have not supported them,
  • 00:45:03.757 --> 00:45:05.626
  • I urge you to give them your full support
  • 00:45:05.626 --> 00:45:08.662
  • Because it's part of the plan
  • 00:45:08.662 --> 00:45:10.798
  • To complete the great commission, thank you.
  • 00:45:10.798 --> 00:45:13.867
  • - tbn is indeed one of your great commission allies.
  • 00:45:13.867 --> 00:45:18.305
  • And you mentioned the word pioneer.
  • 00:45:18.305 --> 00:45:20.407
  • - [host] yep.
  • 00:45:20.407 --> 00:45:21.809
  • - not more than 30 feet behind your head outside.
  • 00:45:21.809 --> 00:45:26.947
  • Is the third satellite dish c-band, uplink ever registered.
  • 00:45:28.081 --> 00:45:32.753
  • - that's number three, that one out there?
  • 00:45:33.654 --> 00:45:35.022
  • - ever registered in the united states of america.
  • 00:45:35.022 --> 00:45:37.257
  • - that's wild.
  • 00:45:37.257 --> 00:45:38.425
  • - number three sitting right here.
  • 00:45:38.425 --> 00:45:41.061
  • And pastor, when my dad went
  • 00:45:41.061 --> 00:45:43.430
  • To the federal communications commission
  • 00:45:43.430 --> 00:45:45.666
  • In washington to fill the forms out.
  • 00:45:45.666 --> 00:45:48.268
  • - [host] yeah.
  • 00:45:48.268 --> 00:45:49.403
  • - there were no forms to be filled.
  • 00:45:49.403 --> 00:45:51.405
  • That's how much of an early adopter, how did that happen?
  • 00:45:51.405 --> 00:45:55.642
  • God showed him a vision.
  • 00:45:55.642 --> 00:45:57.177
  • - [host] yeah.
  • 00:45:57.177 --> 00:45:58.679
  • - now you have to be careful when you tell this story.
  • 00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:02.015
  • But let me just tell you what happened.
  • 00:46:02.015 --> 00:46:03.750
  • He looked up.
  • 00:46:03.750 --> 00:46:05.219
  • And the den of his home in newport beach, california
  • 00:46:05.219 --> 00:46:08.155
  • Turned into a movie screen
  • 00:46:08.155 --> 00:46:10.457
  • And he saw the north american continent
  • 00:46:10.457 --> 00:46:13.227
  • And lights lighting up.
  • 00:46:13.227 --> 00:46:14.528
  • And he said, lord, what am i seeing?
  • 00:46:14.528 --> 00:46:16.830
  • And the lord said, satellite, soon.
  • 00:46:16.830 --> 00:46:20.033
  • And when the call came out of new york, the sales call.
  • 00:46:20.033 --> 00:46:24.004
  • You're a tv station in southern california.
  • 00:46:24.004 --> 00:46:27.207
  • Would you like to be on satellite?
  • 00:46:27.207 --> 00:46:29.343
  • My dad knew it was god's will.
  • 00:46:29.343 --> 00:46:31.745
  • - god had already told him.
  • 00:46:31.745 --> 00:46:34.147
  • It doubled the budget of tbn at the time.
  • 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.317
  • It was $30,000 a month.
  • 00:46:37.317 --> 00:46:39.019
  • That was the budget of tbn at the time.
  • 00:46:39.019 --> 00:46:40.654
  • - [host] wow.
  • 00:46:40.654 --> 00:46:42.256
  • - so my dad had to see visual effects on the den of our home
  • 00:46:42.256 --> 00:46:46.326
  • To have the courage to sign the contract.
  • 00:46:46.326 --> 00:46:48.829
  • - it goes back to the,
  • 00:46:48.829 --> 00:46:49.963
  • What we're talking about risking.
  • 00:46:49.963 --> 00:46:50.998
  • - [host 2] yeah.
  • 00:46:50.998 --> 00:46:52.633
  • - you can't live by faith without taking risk.
  • 00:46:52.633 --> 00:46:55.235
  • - [preacher] the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:46:55.235 --> 00:46:57.404
  • - you know, when i sit here
  • 00:46:57.404 --> 00:46:58.939
  • And think about these types of moments of communication
  • 00:46:58.939 --> 00:47:03.343
  • That we simply are just talking to you,
  • 00:47:03.343 --> 00:47:05.779
  • Talking to you directly.
  • 00:47:05.779 --> 00:47:07.748
  • I can't help but think about the way my own parents
  • 00:47:07.748 --> 00:47:11.218
  • Would be thinking about 2025 and beyond.
  • 00:47:11.218 --> 00:47:15.155
  • The technology has changed so dramatically
  • 00:47:15.155 --> 00:47:19.159
  • In our lifetime.
  • 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.461
  • You realize that back in the day,
  • 00:47:21.461 --> 00:47:26.900
  • We used to have to look into the camera
  • 00:47:27.734 --> 00:47:29.102
  • And my mom and dad would jump around and sing
  • 00:47:29.102 --> 00:47:32.272
  • And play a tambourine
  • 00:47:32.272 --> 00:47:33.974
  • And, you know, i mean, telethons were necessary
  • 00:47:33.974 --> 00:47:38.478
  • To get your attention to give
  • 00:47:38.478 --> 00:47:41.381
  • And giving is a big piece
  • 00:47:41.381 --> 00:47:44.284
  • Of the forward look of what tbn can accomplish, okay?
  • 00:47:44.284 --> 00:47:49.556
  • It really is still up to you, okay?
  • 00:47:50.324 --> 00:47:52.359
  • And we need your support.
  • 00:47:52.359 --> 00:47:54.761
  • But let me tell you, we have an advantage
  • 00:47:54.761 --> 00:47:57.698
  • That my parents could have only dreamed of.
  • 00:47:57.698 --> 00:47:59.800
  • My dad had to raise money, build a tower,
  • 00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:04.604
  • Build an antenna, get the fcc to give him the frequencies,
  • 00:48:04.604 --> 00:48:08.875
  • You know, all over the united states.
  • 00:48:08.875 --> 00:48:11.545
  • And we had to raise money, build a station,
  • 00:48:11.545 --> 00:48:15.148
  • Piece by piece by piece by piece.
  • 00:48:15.148 --> 00:48:17.985
  • As i sit here today, you realize
  • 00:48:17.985 --> 00:48:20.988
  • That there is basically a cable system.
  • 00:48:20.988 --> 00:48:24.591
  • I call it a cable system that has been built
  • 00:48:24.591 --> 00:48:28.061
  • To virtually every device.
  • 00:48:28.061 --> 00:48:30.063
  • (bright music)
  • 00:48:30.430 --> 00:48:31.264
  • - in the entire world.
  • 00:48:31.264 --> 00:48:32.532
  • Small screens that we hold in our hands,
  • 00:48:32.532 --> 00:48:35.836
  • Televisions that we have on our home,
  • 00:48:35.836 --> 00:48:38.138
  • And every kind of screen in between,
  • 00:48:38.138 --> 00:48:40.574
  • Ipads and this and that and all that other stuff,
  • 00:48:40.574 --> 00:48:43.910
  • They're all connected and the world built that system.
  • 00:48:43.910 --> 00:48:49.216
  • It's called the internet.
  • 00:48:49.750 --> 00:48:51.284
  • And it's like a cable system that connects every device.
  • 00:48:51.284 --> 00:48:54.521
  • We used to connect city by city
  • 00:48:54.521 --> 00:48:58.425
  • To the televisions of a home.
  • 00:48:58.425 --> 00:49:01.028
  • I remember when oklahoma city came on the air.
  • 00:49:01.028 --> 00:49:03.663
  • I remember when miami came on the air.
  • 00:49:03.663 --> 00:49:05.766
  • I remember when new york city came on the air
  • 00:49:05.766 --> 00:49:08.635
  • And we were all excited.
  • 00:49:08.635 --> 00:49:10.037
  • But you realize, partners,
  • 00:49:10.037 --> 00:49:11.872
  • That fundamentally communications has changed
  • 00:49:11.872 --> 00:49:15.542
  • Because now we can put our signal in to the internet
  • 00:49:15.542 --> 00:49:19.780
  • And connect to virtually every device globally,
  • 00:49:19.780 --> 00:49:24.751
  • Simultaneously.
  • 00:49:25.152 --> 00:49:26.453
  • Now, what's the challenge?
  • 00:49:26.453 --> 00:49:28.588
  • Relevant content, relevant content in the language,
  • 00:49:28.588 --> 00:49:32.993
  • In the native language of everyone around the world.
  • 00:49:32.993 --> 00:49:36.563
  • I don't think it's the delivery system anymore.
  • 00:49:36.563 --> 00:49:39.499
  • It's now, what's the question?
  • 00:49:39.499 --> 00:49:41.868
  • What are you gonna say?
  • 00:49:41.868 --> 00:49:43.403
  • The 2025 era and beyond
  • 00:49:43.403 --> 00:49:47.174
  • Is more about what kind of content we're gonna create
  • 00:49:47.174 --> 00:49:50.277
  • And how many different languages we can create it in.
  • 00:49:50.277 --> 00:49:53.814
  • The advent of ai sounds amazing
  • 00:49:53.814 --> 00:49:58.018
  • And scary at the same time, right?
  • 00:49:58.018 --> 00:49:59.853
  • Sounds like some kind of science fiction movie is upon us,
  • 00:49:59.853 --> 00:50:04.491
  • But you realize at a moment's notice,
  • 00:50:04.491 --> 00:50:08.195
  • I can be talking in a completely different language
  • 00:50:08.195 --> 00:50:12.365
  • Like it is my native language.
  • 00:50:12.365 --> 00:50:15.035
  • And so what we're saying to you, our partners,
  • 00:50:15.035 --> 00:50:19.172
  • The impact of tbn is just getting started.
  • 00:50:19.172 --> 00:50:23.143
  • The global impact of tbn feels like it's just now
  • 00:50:23.143 --> 00:50:28.148
  • Capable of having that, term be true, global impact.
  • 00:50:28.148 --> 00:50:32.319
  • Yes. we have distributed hundreds and thousands
  • 00:50:32.319 --> 00:50:36.590
  • And maybe millions of hours of content around the world,
  • 00:50:36.590 --> 00:50:40.727
  • And we've done it in english
  • 00:50:40.727 --> 00:50:42.195
  • And about 17 different languages, okay?
  • 00:50:42.195 --> 00:50:45.165
  • We have polish channels on the air,
  • 00:50:45.165 --> 00:50:47.501
  • We have french, we have hebrew,
  • 00:50:47.501 --> 00:50:51.104
  • We have all the languages of the middle east,
  • 00:50:51.104 --> 00:50:53.640
  • And you know.
  • 00:50:53.640 --> 00:50:54.841
  • - italian. - look, it goes on and on
  • 00:50:54.841 --> 00:50:56.510
  • And on and on spanish.
  • 00:50:56.510 --> 00:50:58.078
  • But through the use of ai technology,
