Stakelbeck Tonight | Erick Stakelbeck: Step Boldly Into God’s Calling | Stakelbeck Tonight | July 29, 2025

Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
00:00:17.207 --> 00:00:18.975
I'm erick stakelbeck and we are living in times
00:00:18.975 --> 00:00:21.578
Of massive upheaval morally, spiritually and culturally.
00:00:21.578 --> 00:00:26.449
The world as we once knew it has changed dramatically.
00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:29.552
And let's face it, there's no going back.
00:00:29.552 --> 00:00:32.522
Staying anchored to the past will only keep us
00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:35.558
From stepping into the future god is calling us to.
00:00:35.558 --> 00:00:39.095
So how do we move forward with boldness
00:00:39.095 --> 00:00:41.931
And faith rather than fear and regret?
00:00:41.931 --> 00:00:45.001
Christine caine, bestselling author,
00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:47.237
International speaker and co-founder of the powerful
00:00:47.237 --> 00:00:50.140
Anti-human trafficking organization 821,
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:53.543
Is helping believers do just that in her latest book.
00:00:53.543 --> 00:00:57.747
Don't look back.
00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:58.982
She brings to light the story of lot's wife
00:00:58.982 --> 00:01:01.384
As a cautionary tale for our time, reminding us
00:01:01.384 --> 00:01:05.522
Why looking back can cost us everything.
00:01:05.522 --> 00:01:08.758
Christine shares
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:09.893
How we can break free from the past and boldly pursue
00:01:09.893 --> 00:01:13.296
The purpose god has for our lives.
00:01:13.296 --> 00:01:16.366
Here's more.
00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:18.234
Christine, always great to see you.
00:01:19.002 --> 00:01:21.271
Hey, when we talk about lot's wife,
00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:22.906
The average person out there may say, well,
00:01:22.906 --> 00:01:25.141
She turned into a pillar of salt.
00:01:25.141 --> 00:01:27.177
Then she was never heard from again.
00:01:27.177 --> 00:01:29.312
And yet jesus mentions her specifically
00:01:29.312 --> 00:01:32.549
In the gospel of luke.
00:01:32.549 --> 00:01:33.616
Tell us why remembering lot's
00:01:33.616 --> 00:01:35.485
Wife is so important for all of us.
00:01:35.485 --> 00:01:38.755
You know, erick, i'm so glad you're asking that.
00:01:38.755 --> 00:01:40.890
There's 170 women that are mentioned in the bible.
00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:43.560
And do you know there's only one woman
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.827
That jesus ever tells us never to forget?
00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:47.163
And so the fact that he says, remember
00:01:47.163 --> 00:01:49.766
Lot's wife out of 170 women that i mentioned,
00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:52.902
We ought to pay attention.
00:01:52.902 --> 00:01:54.204
And he actually tells us to do that in the context
00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:56.773
Where he's talking about the end of the world.
00:01:56.773 --> 00:01:59.342
And he's and, you know, when you look at our world
00:01:59.342 --> 00:02:01.444
Today, it seems that things are unraveling.
00:02:01.444 --> 00:02:05.114
You know, there are wars and rumors of wars.
00:02:05.114 --> 00:02:06.816
There's so much crime
00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:07.850
And injustice and instability in every sphere.
00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:11.354
There is such a longing in all of us to go.
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:14.157
I wish things would just go back to normal.
00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:15.825
And it doesn't matter where i travel.
00:02:15.825 --> 00:02:17.093
People are like, i just want things to go back to normal.
00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:19.429
I just want to think things to go back to normal.
00:02:19.429 --> 00:02:21.364
But jesus was saying in the midst of everything
00:02:21.364 --> 00:02:25.101
Falling apart,
00:02:25.101 --> 00:02:26.402
He's saying, actually, this is not a
00:02:26.402 --> 00:02:28.471
Time to think about going back.
00:02:28.471 --> 00:02:30.139
This is a time to think about moving forward.
00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.343
And the fact is, with lot's wife,
00:02:33.343 --> 00:02:35.311
She wanted to go back to what was burning down
00:02:35.311 --> 00:02:38.181
Life as she knew it was burning down.
00:02:38.181 --> 00:02:40.083
Sodom and gomorrah was burning down.
00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:41.851
God was done with it.
00:02:41.851 --> 00:02:43.253
The promise of god was in the future.
00:02:43.253 --> 00:02:44.887
The purpose of god was in the future.
00:02:44.887 --> 00:02:46.956
The provision of god was in the future.
00:02:46.956 --> 00:02:49.125
But she was so attached to what she was leaving
00:02:49.125 --> 00:02:52.729
That she lost sight to where god was taking her.
00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:55.531
And i think as i travel and i see so much angst
00:02:55.531 --> 00:02:58.501
In the body of christ,
00:02:58.501 --> 00:02:59.869
And people
00:02:59.869 --> 00:03:01.137
Are just sort of saying, i wish things would go back to normal.
00:03:01.137 --> 00:03:03.873
I'm here to say to you, we need to remember lot's wife.
00:03:03.873 --> 00:03:06.809
Like there are things that are done,
00:03:06.809 --> 00:03:09.178
But the promise of god it's still in the future.
00:03:09.178 --> 00:03:11.581
The provision of god is in the future.
00:03:11.581 --> 00:03:13.516
Jesus is drawing us forward into the promise and the purpose
00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:17.687
That he has for us.
00:03:17.687 --> 00:03:18.788
And these are not days for longing for what was,
00:03:18.788 --> 00:03:22.058
But these are days for us.
00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:23.660
The church moving forward,
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.495
Knowing our identity in christ and being salt and light
00:03:25.495 --> 00:03:28.665
In a world, and providing hope where there is no hope.
00:03:28.665 --> 00:03:32.001
Providing answers where there are no answers.
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.570
Providing peace and stability
00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:36.539
In a world that is yearning for it.
00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:38.541
So the promise of god is in the future, not in the past.
00:03:38.541 --> 00:03:41.444
And i think it's time for us to get moving
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:43.980
And step into the future that jesus has for us.
00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:46.749
Christine is so encouraging and what a timely message.
00:03:46.749 --> 00:03:49.352
Don't look back is just excellent and again,
00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:51.454
Written specifically, i believe for these times.
00:03:51.454 --> 00:03:54.057
Although it's appropriate
00:03:54.057 --> 00:03:55.258
And fitting in any time and you weave into the book
00:03:55.258 --> 00:03:58.494
Your personal stories of change and upheaval.
00:03:58.494 --> 00:04:01.230
Look, leaving greece and turkey, your family leaving australia
00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:04.567
For the united states. quite a big move there.
00:04:04.567 --> 00:04:06.703
Can you talk a bit more
00:04:06.703 --> 00:04:07.603
About that personal journey, christine?
00:04:07.603 --> 00:04:09.339
Where that concept
00:04:09.339 --> 00:04:10.673
Of remembering lot's wife played into your own life?
00:04:10.673 --> 00:04:14.610
Well, for sure, i think even in every aspect of my life.
00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:17.013
You know, erick, i was left in a hospital,
00:04:17.013 --> 00:04:19.148
Unnamed and unwanted, when i was born.
00:04:19.148 --> 00:04:21.884
My birth certificate does not have a name on it.
00:04:21.884 --> 00:04:23.886
It says child's name.
00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:25.455
Literally is typed in the word unnamed number
00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:28.458
2508 of 1966.
00:04:28.458 --> 00:04:31.494
So i don't know who
00:04:31.494 --> 00:04:32.562
My biological mother or my biological father was.
00:04:32.562 --> 00:04:35.198
I don't know whether i was conceived
00:04:35.198 --> 00:04:37.467
As a result of a one night stand, or a rape or an affair.
00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:41.838
I was the childhood victim of sexual
00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:43.773
Abuse for many years in my life,
00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:45.742
And the daughter of greek immigrants.
00:04:45.742 --> 00:04:47.643
So in many ways,
00:04:47.643 --> 00:04:49.112
If you look at it, naturally speaking,
00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:51.147
I've got every reason to get stuck in my life
00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:53.883
To be a victim in my life, to say,
00:04:53.883 --> 00:04:56.052
You know, my history defines my destiny.
00:04:56.052 --> 00:04:58.421
I was left unnamed and unwanted, i was abused, i was, you know,
00:04:58.421 --> 00:05:02.492
Grew up in very challenging economic circumstances.
00:05:02.492 --> 00:05:06.129
I was the daughter of immigrants.
00:05:06.129 --> 00:05:07.964
And if i wanted to to lean into that and play into that,
00:05:07.964 --> 00:05:11.934
I would never fulfill my purpose.
00:05:11.934 --> 00:05:14.070
But because i made a decision to make what jesus did for me
00:05:14.070 --> 00:05:18.975
Bigger than what anybody else did to me, to make what jesus
00:05:18.975 --> 00:05:22.545
Did for me bigger than what anyone else said about me,
00:05:22.545 --> 00:05:26.282
And to understand that the redemptive work of jesus
00:05:26.282 --> 00:05:29.118
On the cross was big enough to redeem me from my past,
00:05:29.118 --> 00:05:32.889
And that my history didn't need to define my destiny.
00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:35.525
But what jesus did for me define my destiny,
00:05:35.525 --> 00:05:38.294
And that he had a hope for me and he had a future for me.
00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:41.063
I could, over time let go of those things.
00:05:41.063 --> 00:05:44.467
The shame, the guilt, the bitterness,
00:05:44.467 --> 00:05:46.402
The unforgiveness, the pain, the hurt, the trauma.
00:05:46.402 --> 00:05:50.440
I could leave it
00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:51.507
At the foot of the cross and step into the future
00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:54.243
That jesus had for me.
00:05:54.243 --> 00:05:55.545
If i got stuck in the past,
00:05:55.545 --> 00:05:57.480
Erick, i would not be doing what god called me to do today.
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.416
I wouldn't be, by god's grace, the wife that i am
00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.852
For almost three decades, two daughters, 23 and 19.
00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:07.223
That wouldn't have happened
00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:08.491
Because i would have been stuck in the victimhood of my past.
00:06:08.491 --> 00:06:11.461
But jesus gives us a future,
00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:13.663
And we don't have to keep looking back
00:06:13.663 --> 00:06:15.598
To what happened to us to define us.
00:06:15.598 --> 00:06:17.667
We look to the cross,
00:06:17.667 --> 00:06:19.035
And we look to the future that jesus is drawing us to.
00:06:19.035 --> 00:06:22.071
And you know, erick, wouldn't it be just like god
00:06:22.071 --> 00:06:24.073
To take an unnamed, unwanted, abused, adopted girl like me
00:06:24.073 --> 00:06:29.011
From the back of sydney, australia and say,
00:06:29.011 --> 00:06:31.080
You know what, i'm not only going to rescue you,
00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:33.950
I am going to use you to open the prison doors
00:06:33.950 --> 00:06:37.053
For those that are still bound to those that still need rescue,
00:06:37.053 --> 00:06:40.790
And i have to tell you, every time we see a young woman
00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:44.694
Or a child rescued out of trafficking or
00:06:44.694 --> 00:06:47.663
Or we put a trafficker in jail,
00:06:47.663 --> 00:06:49.799
I just think devil, you could stick
00:06:49.799 --> 00:06:51.534
That in your pipe and smoke it.
00:06:51.534 --> 00:06:52.768
I bet you wish you left me alone.
00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:54.570
I feel like joseph
00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:56.372
Because his brother genesis chapter 50, verse 20.
00:06:56.372 --> 00:06:59.475
And he said you meant this for evil against me,
00:06:59.475 --> 00:07:03.279
But god meant it for this very purpose,
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.382
To save many people alive.
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:08.551
So, you know, if you keep looking back,
00:07:08.551 --> 00:07:11.120
You're going to miss the future that god has for you.
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.190
Yeah, folks, the book is called don't look back.
00:07:14.190 --> 00:07:15.825
You can pick up right now
00:07:15.825 --> 00:07:16.759
At amazon.com wherever books are sold.
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.262
And christine,
00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:20.496
How much of this do you think is a spiritual battle in that?
00:07:20.496 --> 00:07:23.299
Jesus says, look,
00:07:23.299 --> 00:07:25.101
If you follow me,
00:07:25.101 --> 00:07:26.168
You will live life more abundantly
00:07:26.168 --> 00:07:28.971
And the enemy wants to keep you stuck in place.
00:07:28.971 --> 00:07:31.440
This seems like a tug of war, a spiritual tug of war
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:34.210
Where the enemy wants to keep
00:07:34.210 --> 00:07:35.411
You stuck, keep you living in the past.
00:07:35.411 --> 00:07:37.179
And jesus says, no, step into what i have for you right now.
00:07:37.179 --> 00:07:40.516
Erick, are you getting me excited?
00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:42.351
I could run laps right now, but yes, that's exactly
00:07:42.351 --> 00:07:45.254
The crux of it,
00:07:45.254 --> 00:07:46.389
Is that jesus came that we might have zoe abundant life
00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:50.226
And and the fact is, so many christians settle
00:07:50.226 --> 00:07:52.995
For so far, less than all that god has for them.
00:07:52.995 --> 00:07:56.933
So what is at stake here is purpose,
00:07:56.933 --> 00:07:59.435
And i want to inspire people.
00:07:59.435 --> 00:08:01.203
It's been,
00:08:01.203 --> 00:08:02.438
You know, for a lot of people it's been like a rough decade.
00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:05.308
And i'm saying, come on, it's time for us
00:08:05.308 --> 00:08:07.610
To step up and into the purposes of god.
00:08:07.610 --> 00:08:10.913
There is so much more ahead.
00:08:10.913 --> 00:08:13.249
If you woke up this morning
00:08:13.249 --> 00:08:15.017
And there was not a white chalk mark around your body,
00:08:15.017 --> 00:08:17.386
It means god still has a plan and god still has a purpose
00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:20.389
For your life. it is not over.
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:22.758
No matter what your age of or stage of life is.
00:08:22.758 --> 00:08:26.562
There is so much more abundant living to be had.
00:08:26.562 --> 00:08:30.132
But i thank god for the redemptive work
00:08:30.132 --> 00:08:32.034
Of jesus christ on the cross.
00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:33.336
Because it is not too late.
00:08:33.336 --> 00:08:35.304
You are not too old.
00:08:35.304 --> 00:08:36.872
You are not too far gone.
00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:38.708
We can always have more in christ, and i want to inspire
00:08:38.708 --> 00:08:42.812
The body of christ to step up and into the more that jesus has
00:08:42.812 --> 00:08:46.482
For them.
00:08:46.482 --> 00:08:48.084
Powerful words from christine caine.
00:08:48.884 --> 00:08:50.886
And what a reminder, folks.
00:08:50.886 --> 00:08:52.455
It's never too late and you are not too far gone.
00:08:52.455 --> 00:08:56.058
Jesus always has more for us when we surrender
00:08:56.058 --> 00:08:59.862
The past and step into his purpose.
00:08:59.862 --> 00:09:03.032
Be sure to follow christine
00:09:03.032 --> 00:09:04.166
On social media and pick up her book.
00:09:04.166 --> 00:09:06.135
Don't look back.
00:09:06.135 --> 00:09:07.570
Coming up next, we take a look across the atlantic.
00:09:07.570 --> 00:09:10.506
As pastor and evangelist
00:09:10.506 --> 00:09:12.108
John joins us to talk about faith in europe,
00:09:12.108 --> 00:09:15.411
What god is doing in some unexplored places,
00:09:15.411 --> 00:09:18.280
And what it means for the global church.
00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:21.083
They'll move.
00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:25.001
They'll move.
00:09:25.001 --> 00:09:27.491
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:09:28.258 --> 00:09:30.060
They said revival in europe was impossible to secular.
00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:34.998
Too far gone.
00:09:34.998 --> 00:09:36.566
But god is on the move
00:09:36.566 --> 00:09:38.201
And it's happening in the most unexpected places.
00:09:38.201 --> 00:09:41.271
British evangelist john has spent decades preaching
00:09:41.271 --> 00:09:44.274
The gospel across the uk, and he's seeing firsthand
00:09:44.274 --> 00:09:47.811
How hearts are turning to jesus across the european continent.
00:09:47.811 --> 00:09:52.015
Take a look,
00:09:52.349 --> 00:09:54.384
John.
00:09:54.618 --> 00:09:55.185
Finally, i've been
00:09:55.185 --> 00:09:56.186
Wanting to sit down with you for a long time.
00:09:56.186 --> 00:09:57.754
We're finally together, my friend
00:09:57.754 --> 00:09:59.523
And we were talking off camera about this move of god
00:09:59.523 --> 00:10:02.893
In the world. right now.
00:10:02.893 --> 00:10:04.127
I think a lot of it's kind of emanating from america.
00:10:04.127 --> 00:10:06.263
The election made a big difference in november,
00:10:06.263 --> 00:10:08.031
Of course,
00:10:08.031 --> 00:10:09.066
But god is moving right now in europe, america
00:10:09.066 --> 00:10:11.535
And beyond, in the middle east.
00:10:11.535 --> 00:10:13.070
Tell us more about what you're seeing in your travels.
00:10:13.070 --> 00:10:15.605
Absolutely.
00:10:15.605 --> 00:10:16.840
Well, erick, thank you so much for having me on the program.
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.876
I've been in the ministry now as an evangelist
00:10:19.876 --> 00:10:23.447
For 45 years,
00:10:23.447 --> 00:10:26.817
And i can honestly say
00:10:26.817 --> 00:10:29.086
That we're seeing an awakening like we've never seen before.
00:10:29.086 --> 00:10:34.791
And and it's global.
00:10:34.791 --> 00:10:36.593
It really is global.
00:10:36.593 --> 00:10:39.229
So i'm hugely encouraged.
00:10:39.229 --> 00:10:41.932
So you see, perhaps a global revival
00:10:41.932 --> 00:10:45.102
And the spirit of god just moving to and fro.
00:10:45.102 --> 00:10:48.138
I'm hopeful that what happened to us pray
00:10:48.138 --> 00:10:52.809
That we are going to see that globally.
00:10:52.809 --> 00:10:56.213
Yeah, god pours out a spirit.
00:10:56.213 --> 00:10:58.348
Hey, tell us a bit about your home country.
00:10:58.348 --> 00:11:00.350
You live in london. when you're not traveling around the world.
00:11:00.350 --> 00:11:02.919
Tough times in many ways for the uk.
00:11:03.687 --> 00:11:05.989
I mean a country where the gospel went out for centuries
00:11:05.989 --> 00:11:09.092
Now increasingly secular of course, the challenge
00:11:09.092 --> 00:11:12.195
Of islam's rise in britain, mass muslim immigration.
00:11:12.195 --> 00:11:15.932
Tell us about the state of play,
00:11:15.932 --> 00:11:17.300
I guess you would say on the ground in the uk right now
00:11:17.300 --> 00:11:20.003
And the state of the gospel in that great country.
00:11:20.003 --> 00:11:22.506
Erick, there is so much good new
00:11:22.506 --> 00:11:26.209
In england, wales,
00:11:26.643 --> 00:11:29.379
Scotland, ireland,
00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:32.849
And so many young people
00:11:32.849 --> 00:11:35.986
Are coming to faith, are open to jesus.
00:11:35.986 --> 00:11:39.723
So many new churches are being planted.
00:11:39.723 --> 00:11:42.559
So someone reports oh x number of churches are closed. yes.
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:47.998
But they don't then say, oh, those ten churches close.
00:11:47.998 --> 00:11:52.602
But actually that month a hundred new churches
00:11:52.602 --> 00:11:56.273
Were planted.
00:11:56.273 --> 00:11:57.207
Wow. so so then we give you.
00:11:57.207 --> 00:11:59.142
You're encouraging me when it comes to the uk.
00:11:59.142 --> 00:12:01.878
Yeah. they only tell half the story.
00:12:01.878 --> 00:12:04.080
Yeah i mean we everywhere we go, erick,
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:08.652
We pack out the
00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:09.986
Largest venues, the largest auditoriums.
00:12:09.986 --> 00:12:13.990
We preach in stadiums.
00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:16.693
In the uk.
00:12:16.693 --> 00:12:17.427
In the uk, in one day, a
00:12:17.427 --> 00:12:20.430
3654 people receive christ wow.
00:12:20.430 --> 00:12:25.001
In one day.
00:12:25.001 --> 00:12:26.236
You know
00:12:26.236 --> 00:12:27.838
God is on the move.
00:12:27.838 --> 00:12:29.840
Yeah, and we are.
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.007
I can tell you, john, we are not hearing that in america.
00:12:31.007 --> 00:12:33.810
Yeah.
00:12:33.810 --> 00:12:34.978
When it comes to the uk, many of us are looking across
00:12:34.978 --> 00:12:36.313
The pond and saying, wow, it looks a bit bleak in the uk,
00:12:36.313 --> 00:12:39.049
So this is so encouraging.
00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:40.517
Hey, speaking of which, your great book,
00:12:40.517 --> 00:12:42.552
Your prolific author, of course, heroes of the faith,
00:12:42.552 --> 00:12:46.590
To me couldn't be more timely.
00:12:47.190 --> 00:12:49.826
I think as believers around the world, we need people.
00:12:49.826 --> 00:12:51.962
We role models like this who can inspire us, encourage
00:12:51.962 --> 00:12:55.131
Us in our faith, especially when we have
00:12:55.131 --> 00:12:56.733
Persecution rising in many countries.
00:12:56.733 --> 00:12:59.035
Tell us about heroes of the faith
00:12:59.035 --> 00:13:00.470
And why you wrote it.
00:13:00.470 --> 00:13:01.371
Okay, well, going back to 2020,
00:13:01.371 --> 00:13:05.041
When covid
00:13:05.342 --> 00:13:06.343
Hit, we had a really big lockdown in england.
00:13:06.343 --> 00:13:10.280
And, i wanted to write an article to our constituency,
00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:14.918
And i was trying to write an article about covid.
00:13:15.886 --> 00:13:18.922
And then halfway through writing the article,
00:13:18.922 --> 00:13:21.258
I started to talk to myself, john, are you stupid?
00:13:21.258 --> 00:13:25.195
You don't know anything about that. it's.
00:13:25.195 --> 00:13:28.498
And then i deleted the article,
00:13:28.498 --> 00:13:30.867
And then i just kind of heard in my head
00:13:30.867 --> 00:13:34.571
The great cloud of witnesses
00:13:34.571 --> 00:13:37.908
Urging us and encouraging us on.
00:13:38.541 --> 00:13:42.579
And so i thought, oh, why don't i write
00:13:42.579 --> 00:13:45.081
About one of those people?
00:13:45.081 --> 00:13:47.384
And i wrote about william wilberforce.
00:13:47.384 --> 00:13:49.819
Wow. and then my wife said, well,
00:13:49.819 --> 00:13:51.421
Why don't you write one next week?
00:13:51.421 --> 00:13:53.256
So i did, and then she said, all right, one the week after.
00:13:53.256 --> 00:13:56.393
And because our lockdown was so severe, i just kept going.
00:13:56.393 --> 00:14:00.830
So i ended up writing 160
00:14:00.830 --> 00:14:04.167
And, and basically
00:14:04.167 --> 00:14:06.536
Erick just retelling
00:14:06.536 --> 00:14:09.773
The stories of people
00:14:09.773 --> 00:14:13.109
From different cultures, different countries who
00:14:13.109 --> 00:14:18.548
Encountered jesus
00:14:18.982 --> 00:14:20.884
And then went on and did great things for jesus.
00:14:20.884 --> 00:14:24.087
One of my favorite quotes
00:14:24.087 --> 00:14:26.523
Is from one of those heroes called william carey.
00:14:26.523 --> 00:14:30.126
And he was a great missionary to india.
00:14:30.126 --> 00:14:32.896
And he his motto was expect
00:14:32.896 --> 00:14:36.866
Great things from god, attempt
00:14:36.866 --> 00:14:40.470
Great things for god.
00:14:40.470 --> 00:14:43.473
And isn't that a beautiful motto?
00:14:43.473 --> 00:14:45.642
I love it,
00:14:45.642 --> 00:14:46.876
I mean, for us, for you and me and all the tbn listeners. yes.
00:14:46.876 --> 00:14:50.880
And so, you know, the heroes of the faith gave me
00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:56.152
And many people who've read them, a faith lift.
00:14:56.152 --> 00:14:59.689
Yes. and,
00:14:59.990 --> 00:15:01.024
You know, when you have that
00:15:01.024 --> 00:15:02.092
Little faith lift, it kind of like inspires you.
00:15:02.092 --> 00:15:05.562
It does.
00:15:05.562 --> 00:15:06.529
And you have heaping on. yeah.
00:15:06.529 --> 00:15:08.098
And you have pretty contemporary figures in there.
00:15:08.098 --> 00:15:11.167
Some, like dietrich bonhoeffer, live during world war two.
00:15:11.167 --> 00:15:13.903
Yeah, it really is.
00:15:13.903 --> 00:15:15.171
A faith lift is a great way to describe it.
00:15:15.171 --> 00:15:16.906
If the heroes of the faith amazing.
00:15:16.906 --> 00:15:19.976
John, this was great.
00:15:19.976 --> 00:15:21.277
And folks, you could follow john across social media.
00:15:21.277 --> 00:15:24.180

John. god bless my friend. this is great.
00:15:29.819 --> 00:15:31.488
Q erick, thank you very much.
00:15:31.488 --> 00:15:33.690
Up next, are angels real?
00:15:34.257 --> 00:15:37.027
Can people truly experience the supernatural
00:15:37.027 --> 00:15:40.130
Or is it all just imagination and emotion?
00:15:40.130 --> 00:15:43.533
Bestselling author and former atheist lee strobel
00:15:43.533 --> 00:15:46.302
Joins us to investigate miracles, near-death encounters,
00:15:46.302 --> 00:15:49.806
And much more through the lens of evidence and scripture.
00:15:49.806 --> 00:15:53.576
That's next.
00:15:53.910 --> 00:15:54.577
Stick around.
00:15:54.577 --> 00:15:58.003
Stick around.
00:15:58.003 --> 00:16:00.551
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
00:16:01.318 --> 00:16:03.154
Miraculous healings, angelic encounters,
00:16:03.154 --> 00:16:06.490
Visions, dreams and near-death experiences.
00:16:06.490 --> 00:16:10.294
We hear these stories all the time.
00:16:10.294 --> 00:16:12.630
But are they real?
00:16:12.630 --> 00:16:14.365
Is the supernatural realm just a myth, or is it more
00:16:14.365 --> 00:16:18.335
Active and more biblical than most people realize?
00:16:18.335 --> 00:16:22.173
Joining us now
00:16:22.173 --> 00:16:23.007
To break it down is award winning
00:16:23.007 --> 00:16:24.141
Investigative journalist,
00:16:24.141 --> 00:16:25.643
Bestselling author, and former atheist turned bold believer
00:16:25.643 --> 00:16:29.346
Lee strobel.
00:16:29.346 --> 00:16:30.514
You know him from blockbusters like the case for christ,
00:16:30.514 --> 00:16:33.417
And now he's back
00:16:33.417 --> 00:16:34.585
With a powerful new book called seeing the supernatural.
00:16:34.585 --> 00:16:38.389
It is great to see you.
00:16:38.389 --> 00:16:40.124
Hey, the bible is filled with supernatural encounters.
00:16:40.124 --> 00:16:43.194
Angelic.
00:16:43.194 --> 00:16:44.328
The resurrection, of course, but seems along the way,
00:16:44.328 --> 00:16:47.531
Especially in the western church, there's been a deep
00:16:47.531 --> 00:16:50.968
Emphasis on the supernatural, even a skepticism of it.
00:16:50.968 --> 00:16:54.672
Lee, why is it so weird for every believer
00:16:54.672 --> 00:16:56.574
To understand that god operates
00:16:56.574 --> 00:16:58.075
Not only in the scene, but also in the unseen?
00:16:58.075 --> 00:17:01.846
Well, yeah. thank you for having me on.
00:17:01.846 --> 00:17:03.581
You know, there's almost an embarrassment
00:17:03.581 --> 00:17:06.050
Among some american christians about the supernatural.
00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:09.220
You know, we want to be respected
00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:10.688
By our neighbors and seen as normal people.
00:17:10.688 --> 00:17:12.957
We're just normal like you.
00:17:12.957 --> 00:17:13.958
Except we believe in jesus and we follow jesus.
00:17:13.958 --> 00:17:16.260
But you know, you won't find me talking about any weird stuff
00:17:16.260 --> 00:17:18.863
Like angels and demons and things like that.
00:17:18.863 --> 00:17:21.365
Well, you know what?
00:17:21.365 --> 00:17:22.299
Jesus was clearly an exorcist.
00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:24.602
That jesus believed in the reality of demons.
00:17:24.602 --> 00:17:27.805
He believed in angels and so forth in a supernatural realm.
00:17:27.805 --> 00:17:31.175
He'd perform miracles, which were supernatural.
00:17:32.109 --> 00:17:34.745
And so i think it's important
00:17:34.745 --> 00:17:35.913
For christians who are going to embrace jesus, to do it.
00:17:35.913 --> 00:17:39.450
Fully and.
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:40.217
To say, you know,
00:17:40.217 --> 00:17:41.352
Because jesus interacted with the supernatural realm,
00:17:41.352 --> 00:17:43.921
We ought to be not only aware of it,
00:17:43.921 --> 00:17:45.823
But also prepared ourselves to engage with it.
00:17:45.823 --> 00:17:48.893
Yeah, angels and demons, they do exist.
00:17:48.893 --> 00:17:51.929
Can you talk about the spiritual war that's playing out?
00:17:51.929 --> 00:17:54.865
Not before our eyes, but behind the scenes right now.
00:17:54.865 --> 00:17:58.169
And you write about this in the book?
00:17:58.169 --> 00:18:00.371
I do you know, i have a chapter on the existence of angels
00:18:00.371 --> 00:18:03.174
And the existence of, of demons,
00:18:03.174 --> 00:18:05.543
And these are very real spiritual beings.
00:18:05.543 --> 00:18:09.580
They're not, as powerful, obviously, as god is.
00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:12.750
They're created beings.
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:14.051
The, demons, fell from grace before, adam and eve fell.
00:18:14.051 --> 00:18:20.024
And so we have lucifer, whose name meant, angel of light
00:18:20.024 --> 00:18:24.728
Becoming satan, who is, whose name means adversary.
00:18:24.728 --> 00:18:28.432
And we have a number of demons who he commands.
00:18:28.432 --> 00:18:30.734
But of course, he's on a short leash with god.
00:18:30.734 --> 00:18:32.836
We know what his ultimate fate is going to be.
00:18:32.836 --> 00:18:34.872
The two mistakes we make as christians.
00:18:34.872 --> 00:18:36.941
One is to overemphasize the demonic
00:18:36.941 --> 00:18:39.376
And see a demon behind every bush.
00:18:39.376 --> 00:18:41.545
And the other is to pretend
00:18:41.545 --> 00:18:42.980
It doesn't exist and pretend like there is no demonic realm.
00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:46.150
That's dangerous too, because, satan can hector us.
00:18:46.150 --> 00:18:49.720
He can annoy us.
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.488
He can frustrate us.
00:18:51.488 --> 00:18:52.823
He can try to lure us away.
00:18:52.823 --> 00:18:54.858
And, we need to be aware of that.
00:18:54.858 --> 00:18:56.327
Put on the full armor of god.
00:18:56.327 --> 00:18:57.628
As ephesians said,
00:18:57.628 --> 00:18:58.963
And to really understand scripture
00:18:58.963 --> 00:19:00.798
So that we can use scripture
00:19:00.798 --> 00:19:01.999
To measure what is true and what is not. amen.
00:19:01.999 --> 00:19:04.602
Well said.
00:19:04.602 --> 00:19:05.502
And look, the book is a big bestseller
00:19:05.502 --> 00:19:07.071
And that's for good reason.
00:19:07.071 --> 00:19:08.172
It seems there's a hunger for the things
00:19:08.172 --> 00:19:09.907
Of the supernatural right now.
00:19:09.907 --> 00:19:11.575
Give us some of your favorite stories from the book
00:19:11.575 --> 00:19:14.311
On the miracle front.
00:19:14.311 --> 00:19:16.213
Sure.
00:19:16.213 --> 00:19:16.614
You know,
00:19:16.614 --> 00:19:17.348
My background is
00:19:17.348 --> 00:19:18.382
In journalism and law, so i tend to be a skeptic.
00:19:18.382 --> 00:19:20.351
I'm looking for corroboration
00:19:20.351 --> 00:19:21.685
And evidence and facts and logic and so forth.
00:19:21.685 --> 00:19:24.755
So i'm not looking for cases about miracles or just things
00:19:24.755 --> 00:19:28.092
You read on the internet or hear in a church hallway.
00:19:28.092 --> 00:19:30.761
I'm looking for documented
00:19:30.761 --> 00:19:32.062
Cases, many of which have been published in.
00:19:32.062 --> 00:19:33.764
Peer reviewed medical. journals.
00:19:33.764 --> 00:19:35.633
And so one of those is a woman
00:19:35.633 --> 00:19:37.034
Who was blind for a dozen years with a incurable condition.
00:19:37.034 --> 00:19:41.171
She went to a school for the blind.
00:19:41.171 --> 00:19:43.073
She learned how to read braille.
00:19:43.073 --> 00:19:44.642
She walked with a white cane and she married a baptist pastor.
00:19:44.642 --> 00:19:48.579
And one night they were getting ready
00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:49.647
To go to bed and she was in bed.
00:19:49.647 --> 00:19:51.148
He comes over and he begins to cry, and
00:19:51.148 --> 00:19:52.683
He puts his hand on her shoulder and he begins to pray.
00:19:52.683 --> 00:19:54.918
And he says, lord, i know you can heal my wife.
00:19:54.918 --> 00:19:57.187
I know you can do it.
00:19:57.187 --> 00:19:58.155
And lord, i pray that you do it tonight.
00:19:58.155 --> 00:20:01.058
And with that she opened her eyes to perfect eyesight.
00:20:01.058 --> 00:20:04.128
Wow. and, she said i was blind when my husband prayed for me,
00:20:04.128 --> 00:20:07.765
And i opened my eyes and i could see him for the first time.
00:20:07.765 --> 00:20:11.235
I could see everything.
00:20:11.235 --> 00:20:12.603
And she said, it's a miracle.
00:20:12.603 --> 00:20:13.871
And indeed, it was in her eyesight.
00:20:13.871 --> 00:20:15.773
Then remained, last i checked, over 50 years.
00:20:15.773 --> 00:20:19.176
It's been fine.
00:20:19.176 --> 00:20:20.277
So how do you account for that if it's not a miracle?
00:20:20.277 --> 00:20:24.381
We have another case of a woman named barbara. why?
00:20:24.381 --> 00:20:27.084
She became friends with,
00:20:27.084 --> 00:20:28.852
Who in the 1980s had multiple sclerosis.
00:20:28.852 --> 00:20:31.722
She was on her deathbed.
00:20:31.722 --> 00:20:33.457
She was curled up like a pretzel.
00:20:33.457 --> 00:20:35.259
Her fingertips were touching her wrists.
00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:37.061
Her legs. her feet were fully extended.
00:20:37.061 --> 00:20:39.363
One lung was collapsed.
00:20:39.363 --> 00:20:40.664
One lung was a 50%.
00:20:40.664 --> 00:20:42.099
She had a tube in her throat so she could breathe or she lost,
00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:46.103
Control of her urination and bowels.
00:20:46.870 --> 00:20:48.806
She was blind except for gray shapes and,
00:20:48.806 --> 00:20:52.676
450 people began praying for her.
00:20:53.377 --> 00:20:55.612
We know that because they announced to that
00:20:55.612 --> 00:20:57.181
Moody radio that she was in hospice, she was dying.
00:20:57.181 --> 00:20:59.650
The doctors had given up on her.
00:20:59.650 --> 00:21:01.452
And, so we documented 450 people were praying for.
00:21:01.452 --> 00:21:05.556
And while her aunt and two of her friends were in her room
00:21:05.556 --> 00:21:09.093
In hospice,
00:21:09.093 --> 00:21:10.294
Reading her some of the letters from people praying for her,
00:21:10.294 --> 00:21:12.763
She hears a voice from the corner of the room
00:21:12.763 --> 00:21:14.865
Where nobody was
00:21:14.865 --> 00:21:16.200
The voice of god saying, my child, get up and walk,
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.970
And she rips the tube out from her throat.
00:21:19.970 --> 00:21:22.639
She jumps out of bed.
00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:24.274
She said, lee, the first thing i noticed,
00:21:24.274 --> 00:21:25.876
My feet were flat in the floor.
00:21:25.876 --> 00:21:27.478
My feet hadn't been flat for seven years
00:21:27.478 --> 00:21:30.481
And my hands came unstuck and they were open.
00:21:30.481 --> 00:21:34.551
And then she said, the third thing i noticed, i could see.
00:21:34.551 --> 00:21:38.455
She said, do you think they'd be the first thing i noticed?
00:21:38.455 --> 00:21:40.591
The third thing i noticed.
00:21:40.591 --> 00:21:41.792
But she was instantly, totally healed.
00:21:41.792 --> 00:21:44.461
By the way,
00:21:44.461 --> 00:21:45.662
These are cases have been research by medical researchers
00:21:45.662 --> 00:21:48.932
And published in, medical journals.
00:21:48.932 --> 00:21:51.935
Science confirms it confirms the miraculous,
00:21:51.935 --> 00:21:54.571
Confirms the truth of the bible there.
00:21:54.571 --> 00:21:56.106
There's so many great stories like this in the book,
00:21:56.106 --> 00:21:58.475
Including muslims coming to faith
00:21:58.475 --> 00:22:00.644
In jesus through dreams, visions,
00:22:00.644 --> 00:22:02.479
Folks, is all in seeing the supernatural.
00:22:02.479 --> 00:22:05.082
You can pick it up right now.
00:22:05.082 --> 00:22:06.150
It's a bestseller.
00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:07.084
Amazon.com wherever books are sold. lee.
00:22:07.084 --> 00:22:09.686
Great stuff. keep it up. we'll see you again soon.
00:22:09.686 --> 00:22:11.922
God bless.
00:22:11.922 --> 00:22:12.956
And coming up after the break, my final thoughts.
00:22:12.956 --> 00:22:15.993
They'll move.
00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:19.006
They'll move.
00:22:19.006 --> 00:22:21.832
Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
00:22:22.699 --> 00:22:24.735
As we wrap up, i want to leave you with this.
00:22:24.735 --> 00:22:27.371
God is not done.
00:22:27.371 --> 00:22:29.039
No matter how dark the headlines get,
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:31.108
No matter how broken the culture may seem.
00:22:31.108 --> 00:22:33.877
He is still on the throne and he is still
00:22:33.877 --> 00:22:36.680
Writing stories of redemption, healing, and hope.
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.883
There's a reason that you're still breathing.
00:22:39.883 --> 00:22:42.119
God has a purpose for your life, and he's calling you to move
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.856
Forward in faith, not backward in fear or regret.
00:22:45.856 --> 00:22:49.893
I'm reminded of isaiah chapter 43 verse 19,
00:22:49.893 --> 00:22:52.629
Where god almighty says, behold, i am doing a new thing.
00:22:52.629 --> 00:22:56.533
Now it springs forth.
00:22:56.533 --> 00:22:58.135
Do you not perceive it?
00:22:58.135 --> 00:22:59.703
I will make a way in the wilderness
00:22:59.703 --> 00:23:01.472
And rivers in the desert,
00:23:01.472 --> 00:23:03.240
Even when the world feels like a wilderness.
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.642
God is making a way.
00:23:05.642 --> 00:23:07.010
He's not finished with your story or with this nation.
00:23:07.010 --> 00:23:09.847
Look ahead. expect miracles.
00:23:09.847 --> 00:23:12.216
And remember, god is moving and he is not done with you.
00:23:12.216 --> 00:23:16.854
Hey, tomorrow night we're in the kidron valley in jerusalem.
00:23:16.854 --> 00:23:19.523
It's going to be good until then.
00:23:19.523 --> 00:23:21.992
God bless you and we'll see you soon.
00:23:21.992 --> 00:23:21.992
