>> Gordon: WHAT WAS
WILLIE ROBERTSON --
>> I FEEL SO SMART IN THIS
ROOM.
>> Gordon: -- MEL
GIBSON, VINCE VAUGHN --
>> I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD
DO A WHITNEY HOUSTON SONG
FOR YOU GUYS.
>> Gordon: AND GIANTS'
RUNNING BACK --
>> I KNOW THIS IS DALLAS,
AND REDSKINS, BUT ALL MY
GIANTS' FANS, LET ME HEAR
>> Gordon: -- DOING AT A
CHRISTIAN COLLEGE?
WELCOME TO THIS SHOW.
LAST WEEKEND LYNCHBURG,
VIRGINIA, LOOKED MORE LIKE
HOLLYWOOD.
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
SURPRISED GRADUATES AND
GUESTS WITH A-LIST ACTORS,
WITH VINCE VAUGHN AND MEL
GIBSON, WHO SPOKE AT THEIR
2016 COMMENCEMENT.
TARY WH>> STORIES ARE IMPORTANT
WHEN I MAKE STORIES, I
DON'T MAKE THEM FOR AN
ELITE.
I MAKE THEM SO THAT OTHER
PEOPLE CAN WITNESS THEM
AND BE INSPIRED BY THEM.
>> I'M A GREAT TALKER, BUT
I'M A FANTASTIC SINGER.
I THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD DO
A WHITNEY HOUSTON SONG FOR
YOU GUYS.
AND I WANT TO DANCE WITH
SOMEBODY.
[CHEERING]
>> Terry: I THINK WE
SHOULD THANK VINCE THAT HE
DIDN'T GO THERE.
>> Gordon: BACK TO
SCHOOL, AND DANCING IS NOT
ALLOWED THERE.
>> Terry: THAT'S RIGHT,
WHITNEY OR NO WHITNEY.
HERE IS A FUN FACT IF
YOU'RE A FAN OF MEL
GIBSON'S "THE PASSION OF
CHRIST," LIBERTY'S
PRESIDENT SAID GIBSON TOLD
HIM HE WANTS TO MAKE A
SEQUEL TO "THE PASSION"
CALLED THE RESURRECTION OF
CHRIST.
>> Gordon: THAT'S "THE
PASSION" PART TWO.
HE'LL DEFINITELY NEED SOME
SPECIAL EFFECTS FOR THAT
>> Terry: BOY, NO
>> Gordon: AND HOW DO
YOU DEPICT THE TIME IN THE
THERE IS A LOT OF THEOLOGY
TO THAT.
>> Terry: UH-HUH.
>> Gordon: ANOTHER
FAMILIAR FACE, THIS ONE
BEARDED AND WEARING HIS
SIGNATURE BANDANA.
"DUCK DYNASTY'S" WILLIE
ROBERTSON SAID ONE THING
>> I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A
COLLEGE GRADUATION SINCE
MY COLLEGE GRADUATION.
AND THAT ACTUALLY SAYS
MORE ABOUT MY FAMILY THAN
ME.
SO...
>> THAT'S WHY I'M THE BOSS
ON "DUCK DYNASTY."
IT'S THE ONLY ADVICE,
REALLY, I HAVE FOR YOU IS
TO JUST BE INFECTIOUS
AROUND PEOPLE, WITH A
CHRIST.
THE BIBLE SAYS BE THE
AROMA OF CHRIST.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
AFFECT OTHER PEOPLE AND BE
THE OTHER PERSON THAT
PEOPLE WANT TO BE AROUND
BECAUSE WHEN YOU REFLECT
HIM AND YOU'RE A POSITIVE
PERSON AND YOU HELP
OTHERS, PEOPLE WANT TO BE
AROUND YOU.
PEOPLE WANT TO HIRE YOU.
SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY EVEN
WANT TO LOOK LIKE YOU.
SO IF YOU'VE GOT A BIG,
MONSTER, MANLY BEARD, SOME
PEOPLE GROW OUT A LITTLE
TINY, TEENY, WELL-MANAGED
BEARD, LIKE JERRY'S.
NO EXPERIENCE IS BAD.
NO JOB IS BAD.
LEARN FROM IT AND REFLECT
>> Gordon: THAT'S GREAT
ADVICE, REFLECT JESUS
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
>> Terry: BE A CITY ON A
HILL AND A LIGHT IN THE
DARKNESS.
FOR PEOPLE GRADUATING AND
GOING INTO THE WORLD,
ESPECIALLY OUR WORLD
TODAY, THAT IS A MANDATE
TO CARRY WITH YOU.
>> Gordon: WELL, FINALLY
LIBERTY ALUMNI AND NEW
YORK GIANTS' RUNNING BACK
RASHID JENNINGS GAVE THE
KEYNOTE ADDRESS.
>> LET'S START THIS THING
OFF RIGHT.
I'M LIABLE, THROUGHOUT
THIS SPEECH, TO KEEP Y'ALL
ON Y'ALL TOES.
>> I KNOW Y'ALL DIDN'T SEE
THAT ONE COMING.
THE MORE LANDSCAPE OF THIS
WORLD IS QUICKLY
YOU WILL TESTED TO HOLD
YOUR BIBLICAL TRUTH.
YOU WILL BE TESTED TO HAVE
PATIENCE WITH CHRIST-LIKE
AND YOU WILL BE TESTED TO
HOLD YOUR SPIRITUAL
FORTITUDE, AND YOUR
CONVICTIONS BY THE
REMEMBRANCE THAT IT IS BY
AND FOR A HOLY GOD THAT
YOU STAND OR FALL.
AND HE CAN MAKE YOU STAND.
KEEP IN MIND THAT FAITH
DOES NOT COME WITHOUT
COST.
IN FACT, THE FIRST THREE
LETTERS OF THE WORD FAITH
ARE THE EXACT FIRST THREE
LETTERS OF ANOTHER WORD
THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO AVOID.
THAT WORD IS "FAILURE."
COST OF FAITH BECAUSE TRUE
FAITH IS VERY RISKY.
A SOVEREIGN GOD MAY EVEN
CAUSE YOU TO FAIL IN SOME
SORT OF WAY, BUT I CAN
ASSURE YOU THAT IT WILL
NOT BE FOR THE SAKE OF
FAILURE ALONE.
THEN WHAT IS HE DOING, YOU
MAY ASK YOURSELF?
HE IS PREPARING YOU FOR
THE NEXT LEG OF YOUR
HE IS TEACHING YOU, IF
YOU'RE WILLING TO BE
TAUGHT.
AND HE IS CARVING A CUSTOM
PATH ONLY FOR YOU TO
FOLLOW BY FAITH.
>> Terry: BY, THAT WAS
WORTH A BUCKETLOAD OF WISE
COUNSEL, AS THEY YOUNG
PEOPLE HEAD OFF TO THEIR
GORDON, IF YOU WERE
INVITED TO SPEAK AT A
GRADUATION, WHAT ADVICE
WOULD YOU GIVE GRADUATING
>> Gordon: I HAVE BEEN
INVITED TO SPEAK AT
GRADUATIONS.
AND UNIFORMALLY, I TELL
YOU YOU'RE NOW GETTING
READY TO GET INTO THE
HARDER PART OF LIFE.
SO OFTEN WHEN YOU
EARNED IT.
AND YOU LOOK BACK AND SAY,
I'VE SPENT ALL OF THIS
TIME, ALL OF THE PAPERS
I'VE WRITTEN, ALL OF THE
MONEY I'VE SPENT, AND YOU
START THINKING THAT
SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER YOU'RE
OWED A JOB FOR SECURITY
BECAUSE YOU NOW HAVE THIS
AND I WANT TO ASSURE YOU
THAT NOTHING COULD BE
I HAD A COUPLE OF RUDE
WAKEUP CALLS, ONE AFTER
NEW YORK CITY AND I FOUND
IT VERY, VERY HARD TO GET
A JOB.
I WENT HOME WITH MY TAIL
BETWEEN MY LEGS; NOW WHAT
DO I DO.
AND THEN AFTER LAW SCHOOL,
WHEN I STOOD UP IN A
COURTROOM TO ARGUE A
MOTION, AND EVEN THOUGH I
HAD TAKEN TRIAL PRACTICE
AND TAKEN APPELLATE
ADVOCACY, I REALLY DIDN'T
>> Terry: MY KNEES WOULD
BE SHAKING IN A SCENARIO
>> Gordon: IT WAS A REAL
SO DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAS
TO GIVE YOU A JOB.
START THINKING, HOW DO I
EARN THAT JOB AND HOW DO I
BRING VALUE EVERY DAY.
>> Terry: DIDN'T YOU
LIKE WHAT RASHID SAID,
THERE ARE NO BAD JOBS.
>> Gordon: THEY'RE ALL
LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
THERE IS BAD UNEMPLOYMENT.
>> Terry: YES.
>> Gordon: I'LL THROW
THE QUESTION BACK TO YOU:
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU
>> Terry: FIRST OF ALL,
RELAX AND EXHALE BECAUSE I
THINK THOSE LAST MONTHS
LEADING UP TO GRADUATION
ARE TENSION-FILLED FOR
ALSO, BLESSED ARE THOSE
WHO REMAIN FLEXIBLE FOR
THEY SHALL NOT BREAK.
I WISH I HAD HAD SPIRITUAL
WISDOM AT THAT POINT IN MY
LIFE.
MAYBE SOME OF US REALLY DO
IN OUR EARLY 20s -- SOME
MIGHT.
I THINK I LOVE JESUS AND I
WAS A BELIEVER, BUT I KIND
OF EXPECTED THAT GOD WAS
GOING TO BLESS THE DESIRES
OF MY HEART AND GIVE ME
WHAT I THOUGHT I WANTED TO
DO, ONLY TO FIND WHAT I
THOUGHT I WANTED TO DO
WASN'T WHAT I WANTED TO DO
DOWN THE LONG ROAD.
SO IT IS ALL A LEARNING
I THINK WHAT RASHID SAID
WAS SO SIGNIFICANT.
BECAUSE WE'RE ON A
THERE IS A PLAN AND A TRIP
THAT WE'RE ON, TAKING US
AND I'M NOT SURE I TOTALLY
UNDERSTOOD WHAT GOD'S
AGENDA WAS AND HOW TO LET
GO OF MINE AND GRAB HOLD
OF HIS FOR A WHILE.
IT WAS A LEARNING
EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
>> Gordon: AND VERY WISE
WHAT YOU THINK YOU WANT TO
DO ISN'T NECESSARILY WHAT
YOU REALLY WANT TO DO.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO FIND
THAT AND DISCOVER WHO YOU
ARE.
>> Terry: WELL, HERE IS
SOMEBODY WHO KNEW WHAT HE
WANTED TO DO.
WHY WOULD SIX NOVICE
MOTORCYCLE RIDERS TAKE ON
THE COLORADO BACK COUNTRY?
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR JOHN
ELDRIDGE TELLS US ABOUT
HIS 1,000 MILE EPIC
ADVENTURE, AFTER THIS.
>> Gordon: WE KNOW HIM
AS A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR,
BUT IF YOU THINK HE STAYS
ON HIS LAPTOP ALL DAY,
THINK AGAIN.
JOHN ELDRIDGE'S LATEST
ADVENTURE IS "A STORY
WORTH LIVING."
>> GREAT TO BE BACK.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Gordon: BEFORE WE
WATCH A CLIP FROM THIS,
TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEW
DOCUMENTARY FILM "A STORY
>> IT IS A ONE-NIGHT ONLY,
MAY 19th, THIS WEEK, ALL
AND WHAT WE'VE DONE IS
WE'VE CREATED AN ADVENTURE
FILM WITH A REALLY SWEET
INTRODUCTION TO THE
GOSPEL.
AND THE COOL PART OF THIS
STORY IS WE'VE GOT ALL
KINDS OF UNBELIEVERS WHO
ARE COMING TO THIS SHOW ON
THURSDAY NIGHT.
THEY DON'T KNOW CHRIST,
BUT THEY'RE COMING IN
BECAUSE OF THE
MOTORCYCLES, COLORADO,
ADVENTURE, AND THEY'RE
GOING TO GET THIS CHASE
THROUGH THE KINGDOM OF GOD
THAT IS VERY, VERY WISDOM
WISDOWISDOM-FILLED, IN AN
EXCITING STORY THAT ALMOST
KILLED ME.
>> Gordon: THAT'S A NICE
INTRODUCTION.
I THINK WE HAVE A CLIP, SO
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
>> THE HUMAN HEART IS MADE
FOR AN EPIC STORY.
AND WHEN WE GIVE UP
LOOKING FOR THAT STORY, WE
GIVE UP LIVING.
A FEW YEARS AGO WE WATCHED
THIS SERIES "A LONG WAY
AND WATCHING THOSE GUYS
RIDE MOTORCYCLES ACROSS
THE THE FACE O FACE OF THE PLANET
>> WE GOT A CALL THAT THE
TRIP WAS HAPPENING AND
THAT WE WERE COLLECTING
MOTORCYCLES.
>> I'M WIDELY UNPREPARED
FOR THIS.
>> WE ARE REALLY EXCITED
TO WELCOME SALLY BORMAN.
>> THE BIKES COME STRAIGHT
>> CAN WE GET OFF THIS
AND THE ANSWER IS, NO, WE
CAN'T.
>> Gordon: WOW, THAT
BEAUTIFUL.
IT CERTAINLY IS WELL-SHOT.
I'VE GOT TO ASK THE
QUESTION: IF YOU'VE NEVER
RIDDEN A MOTORCYCLE
BEFORE, WHY WOULD YOU
THINK A TRIP LIKE THIS IS
SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO
>> OKAY, YOU'VE GOT TO
UNDERSTAND, EVERY TIME --
EVERY TIME GOD GETS AHOLD
SCRIPTURES, HE TAKES THEM
INTO A WILD ADVENTURE,
RIGHT?
ABRAHAM, JOSEPH, DAVID,
>> Gordon: USUALLY IT IS
BY FOOT.
>> YEAH.
>> Gordon: OR A BOAT.
>> OR BY A WHALE.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY
BECAUSE MY SONS WERE YOUNG
MEN NOW, AND THEY GREW UP
IN A WHOLE WILD, AT HEART,
AND THEY'RE SOLID GUYS AND
THEY LOVE CHRIST, AND THIS
WAS THEIR IDEA.
I HAD SOME FEARS TO BE
HONEST.
I HAD A COUPLE OF SERIOUS
WAS A YOUNG BOY, AND I
HADN'T RIDDEN IN 30 YEARS.
AND THEY TALKED ME INTO
IT.
WE DIDN'T GO OUT TO MAKE A
WHOLE FULL-LENGTH FEATURE
FILM.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD
PRODUCE SOME SHORT VIDEOS,
KIND OF LIKE THE REBEL
VIDEOS YOU SEE ON
YouTube, TO DRAW GUYS
INTO THE GOSPEL.
AND WE GOT BACK FROM THIS
TERRIFIC TRIP, AND THE
CINEMATOGRAPHY IS
GORGEOUS, AND WE HAD A
COUPLE OF STORIES TO TELL,
INCLUDING A COUPLE OF
PRETTY SERIOUS CRASHES,
WHEN I ALMOST WENT OFF THE
EDGE.
AND THEN JESUS SAID TO US,
GUYS, GUESS WHAT?
I WANT YOU TO MAKE A
FULL-LENGTH FILM.
I'M GOING TO USE THIS TO
DRAW PEOPLE TO ME.
>> Gordon: YOU SAY OUR
CULTURE HAS LOST TOUCH
WITH ADVENTURE, AND WHAT
IT MEANS, AND WHAT DO YOU
MEAN BY THAT?
>> FOR EVERY PERSON, IT
ACTUALLY IS DIFFERENT.
IT IS WHATEVER TAKES YOU
INTO THE NEW THING.
ADVENTURE IS THE
INVITATION OUT OF THE
FAMILIAR, OUT OF YOUR DAY
TO DAY, WHATEVER THAT
AND SO FOR THAT MOTORCYCLE
EXPERT, THE GUY WHO CAN DO
FLIPS ON HIS BIKE --
RIDING A MOTORCYCLE, THAT
IS NOT THE THE ADVENTURE
FOR HIM, IT MIGHT BE
SHORT-TERM POSITIONS.
IT MIGHT BE THAT TRIP TO
EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA.
FOR ANOTHER PERSON, IT'S
ADOPTING A CHILD.
IT WOULD BE THE BIGGESTED
ADVENTURE OF THEIR LIFE.
SO GOD HAS AN INVITATION
THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON
CAN GET INTO A MORE EPIC
STORY, WHAT WE CALL A
STORY WORTH LIVING.
IT'S NOT ABOUT
MOTORCYCLES.
IT'S ABOUT GOD AND WHAT HE
IS INVITING YOU INTO.
>> Gordon: WHAT WOULD
YOU TELL PEOPLE WHO HEAR
WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING,
AND THEY SAY, YES, I WANT
A LIFE OF ADVENTURE, BUT
AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS
A CHECK IN THEM, OH, NO,
CAN I REALLY TAKE THIS
RISK?
IS GOD REALLY GOING TO BE
AM I GOING TO BE OKAY?
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM?
>> SUPER IMPORTANT, WATCH
WHAT YOUR HEART DOES WITH
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE
REASON FOR THE DOUBT AND
THE FEAR HAS TO DO WITH
YOUR STORY.
THINGS HAPPENED IN YOUR
LIFE THAT BROUGHT IN
WOUNDING, THAT BROUGHT IN
CERTAIN MESSAGES, CERTAIN
DOUBTS.
AND GOD USES -- LIKE THE
CURRENT FEAR, THE
INVITATION, THE ADVENTURE,
HE USES IT TO SURFACE THAT
OLD STUFF SO HE CAN HEAL
IT.
AND LIKE IN THIS FILM, ONE
OF THE THINGS I TALKED
ABOUT, AS WE'RE RIDING
COME TO THE CANYON WHERE
MY BEST FRIEND IS KILLED
IN A CLIMBING ACCIDENT, ON
A TRIP LIKE THIS, THAT WE
WERE LEADING 17 YEARS AGO,
AND GOD BROUGHT UP ALL
THESE SECRET FEARS.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN TO ME.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING
TO BE MY STORY ON THIS
TRIP.
HE WILL USE THE
UNFAMILIAR.
HE WILL USE THOSE VERY
DOUBTS AND FEARS TO
SURVEYSURFACE THINGS IN YOUR
LIFE SO HE CAN HEAL YOUR
HEART AND MAKE YOU A MORE
WHOLE-HEARTED PERSON.
>> Gordon: FOR YOU,
PERSONALLY, WHAT WAS THE
GREATEST TAKE-AWAY FROM
THIS TRIP?
>> UM...THAT IT IS WORTH
IT.
WE ENCOUNTER A STAGGERING
AMOUNT OF SPIRITUAL
WARFARE.
HARD DAYS, LONG NIGHTS,
RUTHLESS RIDING.
YOU GET TO THE END OF THAT
AND YOU'RE, LIKE, IS IT
WORTH IT?
IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT TO
WALK WITH GOD INTO THE
STORY HE HAS FOR YOU.
IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT.
>> Gordon: THAT'S
JOHN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US.
AND IF YOU WANT TO SE SEE "A
STORY WORTH LIVING," IT IS
PREMIERS ONE NIGHT, ON
THURSDAY, MAY 19th.
SO IT IS COMING RIGHT UP.
IF YOU WANT MORE
INFORMATION, GO TO
www.astoryfilm.com AND
YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT
THEATERS ARE HAVING IT AND
WHERE YOU CAN GO TO SEE
IF YOU GO TO ANY NURSING
HOME IN AMERICA AND START
KIND OF RESPONSE ARE YOU
GOING TO GET?
WAS IT WORTH THE RISK THAT
YOU TOOK?
AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY
BACK.
AND SEE THE REGRET IF THEY
DIDN'T TAKE THAT RISK AND
THEY DIDN'T DO THAT.
DON'T LIVE A LIFE OF
REGRET.
LIVE A LIFE OF ADVENTURE
TO HAVE THAT.
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE GREAT
ADVENTURES.
TERRY, YOU WERE NODDING
LIKE CRAZY WHEN HE SAID
>> Terry: EVERYTHING GOD
CALLS US TO, I THINK --
YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING
EARLIER ABOUT OUR AGENDAS
IT IS ALL ABOUT FINDING
OUT WE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT
AND HE IS ALL-SUFFICIENT.
AND IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR
POWER, BUT BY HIS SPIRIT.
EVERY ADVENTURE THAT WE
CHOOSE TO I EMBARK ON THAT
THE WAY WE LIVE, DON'T YOU
>> Gordon: OH, YEAH.
FOR ME, A LOT OF PEOPLE
WERE SAYING MOVING TO
MANILA AND BEING A
MISSIONARY -- WHAT ARE YOU
>> Terry: HOW ABOUT
MOVING BACK?
>> Gordon: THAT WAS ON
MY HEART.
WHY WOULD I EVER GIVE THIS
THAT WAS ACTUALLY PAINFUL.
SAYING, HOW DO I FIND THAT
HOW DO I TAKE THAT RISK
>> Terry: BUT A LOT OF
IT IS ACTUALLY PAINFUL.
AND ANOTHER THING RASHID
SAID, FAILURE, IT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN TO ALL OF US.
BECAUSE IN OUR FAILING,
GOD BECOMES BIG AND STRONG
AND ABLE AND SUFFICIENT.
>> Gordon: YOU ACTUALLY
FIND OUT HE CARRIES YOU
THROUGH IT.
>> Terry: YEAH.
>> Gordon: YOU GET MORE
OF A SECURITY THAT YOU'RE
ALWAYS RELYING ON HIM.
HE'LL SEE YOU THROUGH.
>> Terry: I AM NOT
ENOUGH, THAT'S THE
MESSAGE.
>>> STILL AHEAD, A MOTHER
OF FOUR WHO WAS IN
CRIPPLING PAIN FOR TWO
>> I STARTED EXPERIENCING
A SHOOTING PAIN THAT WENT
DOWN MY LEGS AND UP MY
SPINE WHEN I WALKED.
SO WITH EVERY STEP I TOOK,
IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL.
>> Terry: SEE HOW HER
>> Terry: IMAGINE
WORKING 12 HOURS IN A
FACTORY AND MAKING ONLY $4
THAT WAS THE REALITY FOR A
WIDOW LIVING IN
KYRGYZSTAN, AND RAISING
THREE CHILDREN, UNTIL THE
DAY HE GOT A HAND-UP, AND
IT WAS FROM CBN PARTNERS.
THERE IS A SAYING, "SEWING
MENDS THE SOUL."
THIS WOMAN, FROM
WELL.
SHE LOVES TO SEW.
BUT SINCE HER HUSBAND DIED
YEARS AGO, SHE STRUGGLES
TO SUPPORT THREE CHILDREN
ON HER SALARY AS A
SEAMSTRESS.
SHE ONLY EARNS $4 A DAY.
>> I'M SO SAD THAT I DON'T
HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE
CARE OF MY CHILDREN, TO
TAKE THEM TO THE DOCTOR
AND JUST TO BE WITH THEM.
>> OUR MOTHER IS VERY
KIND.
SHE DOES HER BEST TO
PROVIDE FOR OUR NEEDS BUT
IT IS DIFFICULT.
>> Terry: SHE REFUSES TO
SHE PRAYS THAT GOD WILL
INCREASE HER SALARY BY
GIVING HER A SEWING
>> I WANT TO HELP ME AND
MY CHILDREN AND I ALSO
DREAM TO HELP OTHERS.
>> CBN'S "ORPHANS'
PROMISE" DECIDED TO MAKE
HER DREAM COME TRUE.
WE NOT ONLY PROVIDED HER
WITH A BRAND NEW SEWING
MACHINE, WE GAVE HER AN
ATTACHMENT THAT PERFORMS
PROFESSIONAL DECORATIVE
AND SHE NOW RUNS HER OWN
PROSPEROUS BUSINESS FROM
HOME.
SHE EARNS MORE THAN ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT HER FAMILY.
>> YOU MADE THIS HUGE
DIFFERENCE IN OUR LIFE,
AND ALL OF US ARE HAPPY
AND OUR MOTHER IS HAPPY.
THANK YOU.
>> I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS
HOW HAPPY I AM AND HOW
MUCH I REJOICE.
THANK YOU.
>> Terry: HARD ENOUGH TO
BE A WIDOW IN THE
TO BE A WIDOW WITH THREE
CHILDREN, IT'S NOT
POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT.
AND THEN YOU STEPPED INTO
HER POINT OF NEED, "700
CLUB" MEMBERS, AND YOU
MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN
HER LIFE.
YOU GAVE HER DIGNITY.
YOU GAVE HOPE TO HER
CHILDREN.
YOU JUST CAN MAKE SUCH A
DIFFERENCE, YOU HAVE NO
IDEA.
JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF US
WHO ARE OUT TO MAKE THAT
KIND OF DIFFERENCE.
WE INVITE YOU TO BE A PART
OF IT IF YOU'RE NOT.

GORDON?
>> Gordon: COMING UP,
TERRY CARTER LOVES TO GET
OUTSIDE AND ENJOYS BEING
ACTIVE WITH HER FOUR
BUT A YEAR AGO, THIS WAS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER BECAUSE
WITH EVERY STEP SHE TOOK,
CARRIE WAS IN TREMENDOUS
>> Reporter: WHEN CARRIE
CARTER HAD HER FOURTH
CHILD, SHE DECIDED IT WAS
TIME TO LEAVE NURSING AND
BE A STAY-AT-HOME MOM.
>> I WORKED DURING THE
PREGNANCY WITH MY FOURTH
AND AFTER SHE WAS BORN,
YOU KNOW, I WENT HOME,
LIKE NORMAL, AND IT WAS A
NOTHING OUT OF THE
ORDINARY AS FAR AS THE
DELIVERY.
NO COMPLICATIONS.
>> Reporter: BUT WASN'T
LONG BEFORE HER BACK
STARTED HURTING.
>> RIGHT AFTER THE BIRTH,
IT WAS JUST A DULL ACHE.
AND I JUST ASSOCIATED THAT
WITH CHILDBIRTH.
AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD
JUST CLEAR UP.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD, IT
>> I STARTED EXPERIENCING
A SHOOTING PAIN THAT WENT
DOWN MY LEGS AND UP MY
SPINE WHEN I WALKED.
SO WITH EVERY STEP I TOOK,
IT WAS KIND OF AN
ELECTRICAL SENSATION THAT
WENT THROUGH MY BODY THAT
WAS REALLY PAINFUL.
HUSBAND WERE NOW ON ONE
SHE DIDN'T THINK SHE
SHOULD PURSUE TREATMENT.
>> I KNEW THAT X-RAYS
WOULD BE EXPENSIVE.
AND AT THE TIME, BECAUSE I
WAS STAYING HOME AND
TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS,
WITH A ONE-INCOME FAMILY,
WE COULDN'T AFFORD THE
EXTRA EXPENSE FOR THAT.
>> Reporter: FOR TWO
YEARS, CARRIE ENDURED THE
PAIN.
SHE TRIED OVER-THE-COUNTER
PAIN RELIEVERS, BUT
NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP.
>> I QUIT DOING THE NORMAL
THINGS I ENJOYED DOING.
I QUIT TAKING THE KIDS OUT
FOR A WALK WITH THE
STROLLER.
I DIDN'T WANT TO RUN
AROUND WITH A 2-YEAR-OLD.
I HAD BEGUN TO REALLY
START SEEKING THE LORD
ABOUT HEALING IN
PARTICULAR BECAUSE IN MY
HEART I KNEW IT WAS GOD'S
>> Reporter: SHE ALSO
ALMOST EVERY DAY.
ON JUNE 12th, 2015,
TERRY GAVE A WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE.
SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE
LIKE A SPINAL PROBLEM.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS,
IF IT IS AN ALIGNMENT
ISSUE.
THERE IS TREMENDOUS PAIN
EVERY TIME YOU WALK.
GOD IS HEALING THAT
CONDITION FOR YOU RIGHT
>> I KNEW THAT WHAT SHE
HAD SPOKEN WAS DIRECTLY
FOR ME.
AND I COULD TELL
IMMEDIATELY.
I STOPPED HAVING THE PAIN
WITH WALKING.
I'VE BEEN PAIN-FREE SINCE.
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WALK AND
I CAN GO BACK TO MY NORMAL
LIFTING THINGS.
I COULDN'T DO THOSE THINGS
>> Reporter: MOST
IMPORTANTLY, SHE CAN DO
THE THINGS SHE LOVES,
HER CHILDREN.
>> I LIKE TO GO FOR WALKS.
I ENJOY THE OUTDOORS AND I
ENJOY BEING WITH THE KIDS.
MOTHERHOOD IS THE THE BEST BEST
THING.
IT IS A BLESSING.
I'M VERY GRATEFUL.
HE KNOWS WHAT YOUR NEED
IS, AND HE IS WILLING TO
MEET YOU RIGHT WHERE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING SPECIAL.
YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.
>> Gordon: YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DO ANYTHING
SPECIAL.
YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.
WELL, WE WANT TO PRAY FOR
SOME OF THE PRAYER
REQUESTS WE RECEIVED ON
SUSAN SAYS, "PLEASE PRAY
FOR MY BROTHER, DAVID, WHO
IS ADDICTED TO OXYCODONE
AND MARIJUANA."
AND STEVEN SENT US THIS
ONE: "I'M STRUGGLING TO
OVERCOME *** ADDICTION,
AND I ALSO NEED HEALING IN
MY LUNGS FROM AN ASTHMATIC
CONDITION.
I'M AT A LOW POINT IN MY
LIFE.
PLEASE PRAY."
>> Terry: AND CATHOLIC CATHY
SAYS, "PLEASE PRAY FOR MY
OVERWHELMING SADNESS SINCE
I LOST MY MOTHER AND MY
GUILT, TO WHAT, I'M NOT
SURE."
>> Gordon: LET'S JUST
BELIEVE AND DON'T DOUBT IN
YOUR HEART.
THE MORE YOU DOUBT, THE
MORE YOU'RE CONFESSING
YOUR UNBELIEF.
JUST BELIEVE GOD IS ABLE.
GOD IS WILLING.
GOD LOVES YOU.
AND WHEN YOU COME TO HIM
WITH YOUR NEEDS, HE WANTS
TO ANSWER YOU.
LET'S PRAY.
LORD, WE JUST LIFT THESE
AND FOR THE BROTHER WHO IS
ADDICTED, WE JUST SPEAK
RELEASE OVER HIM.
AND WE ASK FOR MESSENGERS
AFTER YOUR OWN HEART TO
COME AND TELL HIM THE GOOD
NEWS, THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE
TO LIVE THIS WAY ANYMORE.
HE CAN BE FREE FROM ALL OF
AND HE CAN HAVE A
WONDERFUL ADVENTURE WITH
YOU.
FOR THE ONE THAT IS
ADDICTED TO ***,
JUST SET HIM FREE FROM
JUST BREAK THOSE CHAINS
OVER HIS HEART AND RELEASE
HIM FROM THAT.
THAT HE CAN ENJOY LIFE
WITH YOU.
>> Terry: AND, FATHER,
EVEN FOR HIM, AS HE IS
RELEASED FROM THE ***, WE
JUST PRAY YOU WOULD
RELEASE HIM FROM THE
ASTHMA AS WELL, GOD.
THAT YOU WOULD JUST SWOOP
IN AND CLEAR HIS HEART AND
HIS LIFE.
AND WE WANT TO PRAY FOR
CATHY, WHO IS SO SAD AT
THE LOSS OF HER MOTHER.
I PRAY YOU WOULD RESTORE
UNTO HER THE JOY OF HER
SALVATION.
THAT HER MOTHER IS WITH
YOU AND ALL IS WELL.
AND SHE HAS MADE IT HOME.
AND I, GOD, I PRAY ALSO
THAT THERE WOULD BE JUST
AN UNDERSTANDING OF HER
SIGNIFICANCE AS A CHILD OF
YOURS, THAT YOU LOVE HER,
YOU SEE HER, YOU'VE KNOWN
YOU WERE INSTRUMENTALLY A
PART OF HER BEING FORMED
IN HER MOTHER'S WOMB, AND
THAT YOU DELIGHT YOURSELF
IN HER, GOD.
I PRAY FOR A REMOVAL OF
THAT GUILT AND SHAME THAT
IS UPON HER AND THAT LACK
OF SELF-ESTEEM, THAT SHE
WOULD BE REPLACED AS THE
DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF
KING AND LORD OF LORDS.
AND YOU WERE FILL HER LIFE
WITH HOPE IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
>> Gordon: AMEN.
IF YOU NEED PRAYER, THE
NUMBER IS ON THE SCREEN:
1-888-777-1999.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THIS
WORD FROM PSALMS: "WORE
WORD IS A LAMP TO GUIDE MY
FEET, AND A LIGHT FOR MY
PATH."
