Coming up,
Ron and Hope Carpenter
00:00:08.942 --> 00:00:11.177 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
describe the arduous fight
for their marriage
00:00:11.244 --> 00:00:13.179 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
after adultery.
00:00:13.246 --> 00:00:16.616 align:start line:63% position:15% size:68%
>> I remember leaning over
the desk and that ugly cry.
00:00:16.683 --> 00:00:18.985 align:start line:63% position:33% size:35%
You know!
Aah! Ugly cry.
00:00:19.052 --> 00:00:21.388 align:start line:63% position:28% size:43%
And Ron said,
"Oh, no, no, no!"
00:00:21.454 --> 00:00:23.823 align:start line:63% position:28% size:43%
"I don't know
what this means."
00:00:23.890 --> 00:00:26.226 align:start line:63% position:15% size:68%
He said, "I don't know what
this looks like or means."
00:00:26.292 --> 00:00:28.228 align:start line:63% position:35% size:28%
I said,
"But I do!"
00:00:28.294 --> 00:00:30.230 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
I said,
"That's all I needed."
00:00:30.296 --> 00:00:32.232 align:start line:63% position:35% size:28%
God gave me
my miracle
00:00:32.298 --> 00:00:36.069 align:center line:63% position:50% size:68%
and it was that day that
we started our restoration.

RANDY: Welcome to LIFE Today!
00:00:55.688 --> 00:00:57.090 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm Randy Robison.
00:00:57.157 --> 00:00:58.658 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
And Tammy is not with me today
00:00:58.725 --> 00:01:00.059 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
because she is
00:01:00.126 --> 00:01:01.528 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
actually overseas.
00:01:01.594 --> 00:01:03.329 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
You're going to see some
00:01:03.396 --> 00:01:04.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
very exciting opportunities
00:01:04.697 --> 00:01:05.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the future with her.
00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:07.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
But today,
00:01:07.434 --> 00:01:08.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we have something special
00:01:08.701 --> 00:01:09.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:01:09.903 --> 00:01:11.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't know where you're at.
00:01:11.538 --> 00:01:12.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I don't know
00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:14.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
what you're facing
00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:15.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but I can tell you this,
00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:17.610 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if you want victory today
00:01:17.677 --> 00:01:19.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in your life,
00:01:19.112 --> 00:01:20.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you're going to have
00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:21.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to fight for it.
00:01:21.815 --> 00:01:23.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And that's not bad news,
00:01:23.149 --> 00:01:24.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that's good news.
00:01:24.451 --> 00:01:25.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And we've got some
00:01:25.785 --> 00:01:27.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
encouragement for you today.
00:01:27.086 --> 00:01:28.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
My guests are
00:01:28.421 --> 00:01:29.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Ron and Hope Carpenter.
00:01:29.789 --> 00:01:30.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Hope has a new book out.
00:01:31.024 --> 00:01:32.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
It's called
00:01:32.292 --> 00:01:33.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
If You Don't Fight
00:01:33.593 --> 00:01:34.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Then You Don't Win.
00:01:34.828 --> 00:01:36.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
There she is putting it
00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:37.397 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
right out there.
00:01:37.464 --> 00:01:38.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But they've got a story
00:01:38.965 --> 00:01:40.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
where they've had to fight.
00:01:40.233 --> 00:01:41.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Fight for their church,
00:01:41.468 --> 00:01:42.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
fight for their marriage,
00:01:42.769 --> 00:01:44.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
fight for their very souls.
00:01:44.103 --> 00:01:45.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
So, you're going
00:01:45.371 --> 00:01:46.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to be encouraged
00:01:46.706 --> 00:01:47.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
as you listen to them.
00:01:47.941 --> 00:01:49.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I invite you to lean in
00:01:49.209 --> 00:01:50.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and accept God's hope
00:01:50.910 --> 00:01:52.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and Word for you today.
00:01:52.745 --> 00:01:54.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Ron and Hope,
00:01:55.014 --> 00:01:55.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
great to have you
00:01:56.015 --> 00:01:57.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
on the program!
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:58.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
HOPE: Yes!
00:01:58.284 --> 00:01:59.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So good to be here, Randy.
00:01:59.352 --> 00:02:00.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Thank you.
00:02:00.386 --> 00:02:01.488 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
RON: Thank you for having us.
00:02:01.554 --> 00:02:02.655 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
RANDY: Many people saw you
00:02:02.722 --> 00:02:03.790 align:start line:69% position:10% size:70%
a few months ago with Tammy.
00:02:03.857 --> 00:02:04.958 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
By the way,
00:02:05.024 --> 00:02:06.125 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
if you missed that program
00:02:06.192 --> 00:02:07.293 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
you can go to LifeToday.org
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:08.428 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
and catch up
00:02:08.495 --> 00:02:09.696 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
on all the programs.
00:02:09.762 --> 00:02:10.897 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
But for people
00:02:10.964 --> 00:02:12.165 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that don't really know
00:02:12.232 --> 00:02:13.299 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
some of the struggles
00:02:13.366 --> 00:02:14.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you guys have faced,
00:02:14.534 --> 00:02:15.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
give us a brief version
00:02:15.702 --> 00:02:16.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
of that.
00:02:16.803 --> 00:02:17.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
HOPE: Because we don't have
00:02:17.937 --> 00:02:19.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
all day, do we?
00:02:19.138 --> 00:02:20.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
RON: It's like a mini-series.
00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:21.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
HOPE: Have you ever felt like
00:02:21.841 --> 00:02:23.643 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
your whole life
00:02:23.710 --> 00:02:24.944 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
has been a struggle?
00:02:25.011 --> 00:02:26.179 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I feel like for us
00:02:26.246 --> 00:02:27.380 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
it seems like everything
00:02:27.447 --> 00:02:30.116 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
that we have tried to do,
00:02:30.183 --> 00:02:32.986 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
endeavored to do for God,
00:02:33.052 --> 00:02:36.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we get that John 10:10,
00:02:36.089 --> 00:02:37.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the thief comes to steal,
00:02:37.123 --> 00:02:38.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
kill, and destroy
00:02:38.358 --> 00:02:39.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
wind in our face.
00:02:39.993 --> 00:02:41.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
But you know,
00:02:41.361 --> 00:02:43.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
once we have embraced that,
00:02:43.196 --> 00:02:46.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that there are not just roses
00:02:46.132 --> 00:02:47.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
popping up all over your path
00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:49.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when you say yes to Jesus,
00:02:49.168 --> 00:02:50.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that you do have an adversary,
00:02:50.737 --> 00:02:52.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that we have an enemy.
00:02:52.105 --> 00:02:53.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Sometimes, the enemy is us
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:55.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in our dumb mistakes,
00:02:55.108 --> 00:02:56.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and some of that
00:02:56.376 --> 00:02:57.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
has been our story.
00:02:57.944 --> 00:02:59.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You just embrace it and say,
00:03:00.013 --> 00:03:02.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I am on this journey
00:03:02.282 --> 00:03:03.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I'm going to win.
00:03:03.850 --> 00:03:05.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Because the other option is
00:03:05.718 --> 00:03:06.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
to what?
00:03:07.053 --> 00:03:08.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
To fail, to just give up.
00:03:08.354 --> 00:03:09.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We're not going to do that.
00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:11.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We have had some journey,
00:03:11.558 --> 00:03:13.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
haven't we?
00:03:13.226 --> 00:03:14.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
RANDY: We've seen
00:03:14.627 --> 00:03:15.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a lot of failure,
00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:17.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and we hear about them
00:03:17.130 --> 00:03:18.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
on the news on social media
00:03:18.398 --> 00:03:19.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
within churches.
00:03:19.699 --> 00:03:20.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
This whole thing
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:22.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
almost completely fell apart.
00:03:22.235 --> 00:03:23.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
HOPE: It did.
00:03:23.469 --> 00:03:24.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
RANDY: Tell us what happened.
00:03:24.804 --> 00:03:26.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
HOPE: Well, it started back
00:03:26.072 --> 00:03:27.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
honestly, if we had time
00:03:27.507 --> 00:03:28.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I can go back.
00:03:28.775 --> 00:03:29.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Had no idea --
00:03:30.043 --> 00:03:31.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
had no idea, Randy,
00:03:31.411 --> 00:03:32.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that the way I was raised
00:03:33.012 --> 00:03:34.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
would really affect
00:03:34.647 --> 00:03:36.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
who I was as an adult.
00:03:36.583 --> 00:03:37.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
I thought
00:03:37.917 --> 00:03:39.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
when I changed my last name,
00:03:39.352 --> 00:03:40.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
changed my address,
00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:41.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and got that ring on my finger
00:03:41.988 --> 00:03:43.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
everything was going to be
00:03:43.456 --> 00:03:44.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
absolutely glorious.
00:03:44.991 --> 00:03:46.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
For a while it was.
00:03:46.459 --> 00:03:48.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But I could feel the inferno
00:03:48.962 --> 00:03:50.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
kind of growing
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:51.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
on the inside of me,
00:03:51.531 --> 00:03:52.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
the anxiety.
00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:54.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The perfection,
00:03:54.334 --> 00:03:56.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
feeling like I had to be
00:03:56.703 --> 00:03:57.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
perfect at everything,
00:03:58.004 --> 00:03:59.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
smile at everything,
00:03:59.105 --> 00:04:00.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
never show any feelings.
00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:03.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
In about 15 years,
00:04:03.576 --> 00:04:05.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in about 2004,
00:04:05.778 --> 00:04:06.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I woke up one day
00:04:07.046 --> 00:04:08.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and really exploded.
00:04:08.381 --> 00:04:09.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Just like I can't live
00:04:09.749 --> 00:04:10.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
like this anymore.
00:04:10.950 --> 00:04:12.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Didn't know what that meant
00:04:12.218 --> 00:04:15.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but just knew that
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:16.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
what I was feeling
00:04:16.956 --> 00:04:18.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on the inside
00:04:18.157 --> 00:04:19.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
was coming out,
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and it is going to come out
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:21.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
sideways in an ugly way.
00:04:21.928 --> 00:04:23.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
RON: Let me give
00:04:23.162 --> 00:04:24.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
some context to that.
00:04:24.597 --> 00:04:25.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
She had never spoken with me
00:04:25.932 --> 00:04:27.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
about the things,
00:04:27.233 --> 00:04:28.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about the traumatic things
00:04:28.468 --> 00:04:29.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that had happened to her.
00:04:29.669 --> 00:04:30.903 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
When she met me,
00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:32.105 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
I was already a preacher boy.
00:04:32.171 --> 00:04:33.439 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
I was already in Bible School.
00:04:33.506 --> 00:04:34.941 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
She didn't want me
00:04:35.008 --> 00:04:37.877 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
to know the downside,
00:04:37.944 --> 00:04:39.178 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
the dark side of the things
00:04:39.245 --> 00:04:40.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that she had been raised in.
00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:41.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So, I had no clue.
00:04:41.948 --> 00:04:43.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just knew I had this woman
00:04:43.416 --> 00:04:44.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that was changing,
00:04:44.651 --> 00:04:45.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and I didn't know
00:04:45.752 --> 00:04:46.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
what was wrong
00:04:46.819 --> 00:04:47.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and I didn't know
00:04:48.054 --> 00:04:49.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
how to fix it.
00:04:49.222 --> 00:04:50.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The fact is we grew
00:04:50.456 --> 00:04:51.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a very large church,
00:04:51.624 --> 00:04:52.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
God blessed us
00:04:52.825 --> 00:04:54.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in a very small city.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The city had 80,000 people
00:04:55.495 --> 00:04:56.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and we had 22,000 members,
00:04:56.796 --> 00:04:58.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so a quarter of the people
00:04:58.164 --> 00:04:59.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
went to our church.
00:04:59.599 --> 00:05:02.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And so that only magnified --
00:05:02.568 --> 00:05:03.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I mean we lived
00:05:03.970 --> 00:05:05.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in a glass house,
00:05:05.171 --> 00:05:06.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and everybody had an opinion.
00:05:06.406 --> 00:05:07.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And everywhere we went,
00:05:07.607 --> 00:05:08.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
everybody knew us.
00:05:08.808 --> 00:05:10.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, what was in her --
00:05:10.076 --> 00:05:11.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
when you've got
00:05:11.377 --> 00:05:12.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a cracked foundation
00:05:12.612 --> 00:05:13.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and you start putting
00:05:13.746 --> 00:05:14.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
more weight on it,
00:05:14.947 --> 00:05:15.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
it just splits.
00:05:16.049 --> 00:05:17.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So that was a little bit
00:05:17.183 --> 00:05:18.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
about what was happening,
00:05:18.351 --> 00:05:19.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the pressure cooker
00:05:19.385 --> 00:05:20.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in her life.
00:05:20.453 --> 00:05:21.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
RANDY: What did that split
00:05:21.621 --> 00:05:22.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
look like?
00:05:22.689 --> 00:05:23.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
HOPE: Well, it looked like
00:05:23.823 --> 00:05:24.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that day I went and bought
00:05:24.891 --> 00:05:25.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
three secular CD's.
00:05:26.025 --> 00:05:27.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
Oooouh!
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That was taboo in my world.
00:05:28.528 --> 00:05:29.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I bought a six pack of beer
00:05:29.962 --> 00:05:32.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and a bikini,
00:05:32.231 --> 00:05:33.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
had never done that
00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:36.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
up until 35.
00:05:36.569 --> 00:05:39.272 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
It was my way of saying,
00:05:39.338 --> 00:05:41.541 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I need to figure out
00:05:41.607 --> 00:05:42.809 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
life myself.
00:05:42.875 --> 00:05:44.243 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I need to figure out
00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:45.478 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
what's right for Hope.
00:05:45.545 --> 00:05:46.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I need to figure out
00:05:46.679 --> 00:05:47.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what's wrong for Hope.
00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:48.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Not what my mom says,
00:05:49.015 --> 00:05:50.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
my dad says, the church says,
00:05:50.316 --> 00:05:51.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the denomination, my husband,
00:05:51.551 --> 00:05:52.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
all of that.
00:05:52.785 --> 00:05:54.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Because I'd never
00:05:54.153 --> 00:05:55.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
been allowed, honestly,
00:05:55.388 --> 00:05:56.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
even in my teenage years
00:05:56.589 --> 00:05:57.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to make any decisions.
00:05:57.857 --> 00:05:59.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: If it had stopped
00:05:59.325 --> 00:06:00.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
there, you probably would
00:06:00.993 --> 00:06:02.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
have had no problems.
00:06:02.261 --> 00:06:03.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
HOPE: But you know
00:06:03.563 --> 00:06:04.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
sin doesn't stop there,
00:06:04.764 --> 00:06:05.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
does it?
00:06:05.998 --> 00:06:07.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: Is that what it was?
00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:08.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It was acting out,
00:06:08.234 --> 00:06:09.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
rebellion in you?
00:06:09.435 --> 00:06:10.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
HOPE: I think it was.
00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:11.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I really do.
00:06:11.804 --> 00:06:12.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I believe any time
00:06:12.905 --> 00:06:13.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
we want to do life our own way
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and not God's way
00:06:15.241 --> 00:06:16.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we're on a slippery slope.
00:06:16.375 --> 00:06:17.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, ended up in places
00:06:17.543 --> 00:06:18.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I shouldn't have been
00:06:18.678 --> 00:06:19.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
with people
00:06:19.812 --> 00:06:20.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I shouldn't have been with.
00:06:20.947 --> 00:06:22.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I was unfaithful
00:06:22.081 --> 00:06:23.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to my husband.
00:06:23.249 --> 00:06:24.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
This was nine years
00:06:24.484 --> 00:06:25.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
back and forth
00:06:25.685 --> 00:06:26.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of just trying --
00:06:26.886 --> 00:06:27.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And then imagine the pressure,
00:06:28.020 --> 00:06:29.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Randy, of loving Jesus
00:06:29.288 --> 00:06:31.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but doing that too.
00:06:31.491 --> 00:06:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Because I really did
00:06:32.725 --> 00:06:33.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
love Jesus.
00:06:33.893 --> 00:06:35.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I really was committed to him
00:06:35.795 --> 00:06:37.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and wanted to serve him.
00:06:37.330 --> 00:06:38.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
But I was so confused
00:06:38.564 --> 00:06:39.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with who I was as a human,
00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:41.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
as a person;
00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:42.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and what was right
00:06:42.435 --> 00:06:43.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and what was wrong.
00:06:43.669 --> 00:06:44.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It was just a terrible time.
00:06:44.971 --> 00:06:47.140 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
RANDY: What's funny,
00:06:47.206 --> 00:06:48.875 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
and I mean that more like odd,
00:06:48.941 --> 00:06:50.643 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
is that we do
00:06:50.710 --> 00:06:51.911 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that kind of thing
00:06:51.978 --> 00:06:53.179 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
searching for some kind
00:06:53.246 --> 00:06:54.814 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
of happiness.
00:06:54.881 --> 00:06:55.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But that distance
00:06:55.982 --> 00:06:57.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that's inside
00:06:57.083 --> 00:06:58.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is the most miserable place.
00:06:58.251 --> 00:06:59.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Is it not?
00:06:59.352 --> 00:07:00.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
HOPE: It was awful.
00:07:00.453 --> 00:07:01.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
RON: What you run to
00:07:01.854 --> 00:07:03.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to find the peace usually
00:07:03.790 --> 00:07:05.124 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
becomes a heavier weight
00:07:05.191 --> 00:07:07.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
than what you're running from.
00:07:07.426 --> 00:07:08.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I think she found that
00:07:08.761 --> 00:07:10.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to happen in her life.
00:07:10.196 --> 00:07:11.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
In this nine-year period --
00:07:11.798 --> 00:07:13.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you have to understand,
00:07:13.466 --> 00:07:15.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I loved my wife.
00:07:15.468 --> 00:07:16.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I'm not one of these guys,
00:07:16.936 --> 00:07:18.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I love one person,
00:07:18.604 --> 00:07:19.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I'm getting married one time
00:07:19.906 --> 00:07:22.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and I adored this woman.
00:07:22.542 --> 00:07:25.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But something was bad wrong.
00:07:25.411 --> 00:07:26.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So, then I had to try
00:07:26.979 --> 00:07:28.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to be a buffer
00:07:28.481 --> 00:07:30.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because I'm trying
00:07:30.383 --> 00:07:32.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to cover her while she heals
00:07:32.151 --> 00:07:33.553 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
or turns around or whatever
00:07:33.619 --> 00:07:35.154 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
it is that needed to happen.
00:07:35.221 --> 00:07:36.455 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
But I didn't want it to
00:07:36.522 --> 00:07:38.057 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
get out to the church public
00:07:38.124 --> 00:07:39.559 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
because our ministry,
00:07:39.625 --> 00:07:40.927 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
at least in that area
00:07:40.993 --> 00:07:42.061 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
at the time, was so massive.
00:07:42.128 --> 00:07:43.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
During the middle of all this,
00:07:43.563 --> 00:07:44.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
we went on TBN,
00:07:44.964 --> 00:07:46.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
we started going
00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:47.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
on international TV.
00:07:47.567 --> 00:07:49.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So, the intensity
00:07:49.101 --> 00:07:50.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
just got worse.
00:07:50.570 --> 00:07:52.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
While she was spiraling
00:07:52.171 --> 00:07:53.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in a downward spiral,
00:07:53.806 --> 00:07:56.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we were exploding.
00:07:56.475 --> 00:07:57.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So, you've got
00:07:57.777 --> 00:07:58.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
this best of times
00:07:59.045 --> 00:08:00.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but worst of times happening
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
at the same time.
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
HOPE: Such a plan
00:08:02.648 --> 00:08:03.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of the enemy.
00:08:03.916 --> 00:08:05.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
He's so strategic.
00:08:05.218 --> 00:08:06.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
RON: But I knew
00:08:06.419 --> 00:08:07.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
something was wrong.
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:08.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I didn't know what was wrong,
00:08:08.821 --> 00:08:09.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
but I knew
00:08:09.989 --> 00:08:11.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
something was wrong.
00:08:11.190 --> 00:08:12.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
She would be asleep at night,
00:08:12.358 --> 00:08:13.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I would lay my hands,
00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:14.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I wouldn't touch her,
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
just over her head and like,
00:08:15.661 --> 00:08:16.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
"God bring her back to me.
00:08:16.796 --> 00:08:17.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't know what's going on.
00:08:17.897 --> 00:08:18.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I don't know where she is,
00:08:18.898 --> 00:08:19.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I don't know
00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:20.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what she's thinking
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:22.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
but bring my wife back to me."
00:08:22.068 --> 00:08:23.102 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
HOPE: I have
00:08:23.169 --> 00:08:24.170 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
such a good husband.
00:08:24.237 --> 00:08:25.238 align:start line:63% position:10% size:13%
Yeah!
00:08:25.304 --> 00:08:26.305 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
One day I want to be like Ron
00:08:26.372 --> 00:08:27.473 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
when I grow up.
00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:28.608 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
I really do.
00:08:28.674 --> 00:08:29.642 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
RANDY: Scripture says
00:08:29.709 --> 00:08:30.843 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to love your wife
00:08:30.910 --> 00:08:32.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
as Christ loved the church.
00:08:32.445 --> 00:08:33.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
The church's story
00:08:33.746 --> 00:08:34.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is one of waywardness
00:08:35.047 --> 00:08:36.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and unfaithfulness.
00:08:36.482 --> 00:08:39.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What a picture of love
00:08:39.452 --> 00:08:42.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
right there.
00:08:42.455 --> 00:08:43.456 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Without going through
00:08:43.522 --> 00:08:44.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
all the details,
00:08:44.557 --> 00:08:45.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what was the book where
00:08:45.558 --> 00:08:46.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you do go into the details.
00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:47.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
HOPE: The Most
00:08:47.827 --> 00:08:48.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Beautiful Disaster.
00:08:48.961 --> 00:08:50.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
RANDY: The Most
00:08:50.129 --> 00:08:51.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Beautiful Disaster.
00:08:51.364 --> 00:08:52.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So, if someone wants
00:08:52.498 --> 00:08:53.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to read through it just
00:08:53.566 --> 00:08:54.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to try to get some help --
00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:55.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
but at what point
00:08:55.868 --> 00:08:59.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
did the love of your husband,
00:08:59.272 --> 00:09:01.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of Christ, and this idea of,
00:09:01.908 --> 00:09:03.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
okay, we're not going
00:09:03.142 --> 00:09:04.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to let this thing
00:09:04.644 --> 00:09:06.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
just be destroyed.
00:09:06.078 --> 00:09:07.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We're going to fight
00:09:07.246 --> 00:09:09.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to restore, fight to heal,
00:09:09.115 --> 00:09:10.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
fight to win.
00:09:10.783 --> 00:09:12.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Was there a specific
00:09:12.084 --> 00:09:13.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
turning point
00:09:13.085 --> 00:09:14.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
or was it a process?
00:09:14.153 --> 00:09:15.254 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
HOPE: Well, I was
00:09:15.321 --> 00:09:16.489 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
just totally miserable.
00:09:16.555 --> 00:09:17.823 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I had reached a place
00:09:17.890 --> 00:09:19.625 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
of just utter desperation.
00:09:19.692 --> 00:09:21.427 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Just sick of myself,
00:09:21.494 --> 00:09:22.862 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
sick of the places I'd been,
00:09:22.929 --> 00:09:23.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the choices I'd made,
00:09:24.030 --> 00:09:25.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
sick of hurting my husband,
00:09:25.331 --> 00:09:26.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
my family.
00:09:26.632 --> 00:09:27.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Didn't want to do it
00:09:27.667 --> 00:09:28.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
but didn't know why I did it.
00:09:28.801 --> 00:09:30.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
If I could have explained it,
00:09:30.603 --> 00:09:31.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it wouldn't have been
00:09:31.938 --> 00:09:32.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
as maddening.
00:09:32.972 --> 00:09:34.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But I didn't know
00:09:34.206 --> 00:09:35.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
why I was doing
00:09:35.408 --> 00:09:36.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what I was doing.
00:09:36.609 --> 00:09:38.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, in 2013, I came to him.
00:09:38.477 --> 00:09:39.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It just was crumbling.
00:09:39.712 --> 00:09:42.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I came to him and thought,
00:09:42.682 --> 00:09:44.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
he's such a great man
00:09:44.083 --> 00:09:45.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he's going to help me.
00:09:45.818 --> 00:09:47.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I'm going to come clean
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and I'm going
00:09:48.621 --> 00:09:49.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to tell him everything,
00:09:49.655 --> 00:09:50.723 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and he's going
00:09:50.790 --> 00:09:51.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to fix this for me.
00:09:51.857 --> 00:09:52.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And I told him,
00:09:52.892 --> 00:09:53.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and he said,
00:09:54.026 --> 00:09:55.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"You've got 30 minutes.
00:09:55.227 --> 00:09:56.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Get your stuff and get out."
00:09:56.395 --> 00:09:57.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
But Randy,
00:09:57.563 --> 00:09:58.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that's why I wrote that book,
00:09:58.731 --> 00:10:00.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The Most Beautiful Disaster.
00:10:00.199 --> 00:10:01.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
To the world
00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:03.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it was the most horrible thing
00:10:03.235 --> 00:10:05.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that could happen but to me
00:10:05.738 --> 00:10:07.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it was where I hit rock bottom
00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:09.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and where I ran
00:10:09.275 --> 00:10:10.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
right into the face
00:10:10.643 --> 00:10:12.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of the unconditional love
00:10:12.078 --> 00:10:13.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
of Jesus
00:10:13.346 --> 00:10:14.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that I had never known.
00:10:14.947 --> 00:10:16.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I had only known
00:10:16.248 --> 00:10:17.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
conditional love.
00:10:17.516 --> 00:10:18.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And I didn't understand
00:10:18.718 --> 00:10:20.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God's unconditional love.
00:10:20.453 --> 00:10:21.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
That he loved me
00:10:22.054 --> 00:10:23.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for who I was,
00:10:23.189 --> 00:10:24.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
not for what I did
00:10:24.457 --> 00:10:25.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
or didn't do right.
00:10:25.891 --> 00:10:28.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It radically changed my life
00:10:28.661 --> 00:10:30.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
in 2013.
00:10:30.363 --> 00:10:31.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
We struggled.
00:10:31.597 --> 00:10:32.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
We were going
00:10:32.865 --> 00:10:33.833 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to get a divorce.
00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:34.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
RON: It was
00:10:34.934 --> 00:10:36.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a whole different story then.
00:10:36.168 --> 00:10:37.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
HOPE: Yeah,
00:10:37.303 --> 00:10:38.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm doing good,
00:10:38.404 --> 00:10:39.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Ron's not doing well.
00:10:39.605 --> 00:10:40.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
RON: You have to understand
00:10:40.706 --> 00:10:41.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that nine years
00:10:41.941 --> 00:10:42.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is a long time.
00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:44.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
This wasn't a summer.
00:10:44.076 --> 00:10:46.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
This was almost a decade.
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
The toll --
00:10:48.948 --> 00:10:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the toll of covering,
00:10:50.216 --> 00:10:51.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the toll of being the buffer,
00:10:51.550 --> 00:10:52.785 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
the toll of suspecting
00:10:52.852 --> 00:10:54.587 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
but not knowing.
00:10:54.653 --> 00:10:55.855 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
HOPE: The betrayal --
00:10:55.921 --> 00:10:56.989 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
all of it.
00:10:57.056 --> 00:10:58.090 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
RON: Yes.
00:10:58.157 --> 00:10:59.291 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
And then when you finally
00:10:59.358 --> 00:11:00.526 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
get the knowledge of what
00:11:00.593 --> 00:11:01.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you've been suspecting
00:11:01.694 --> 00:11:02.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and all the collateral damage,
00:11:02.762 --> 00:11:03.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the bomb goes off:
00:11:03.863 --> 00:11:05.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
The humiliation,
00:11:05.097 --> 00:11:06.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
half the church walks out,
00:11:06.265 --> 00:11:10.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and social media blows you up.
00:11:11.003 --> 00:11:12.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Your kids won't speak,
00:11:12.371 --> 00:11:13.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and they go into school
00:11:13.572 --> 00:11:14.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and get heckled.
00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
They run up
00:11:15.808 --> 00:11:16.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and slam the doors
00:11:16.842 --> 00:11:17.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when they get home
00:11:17.977 --> 00:11:19.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and won't talk.
00:11:19.145 --> 00:11:20.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It was awful
00:11:20.813 --> 00:11:22.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
with a capital A.
00:11:22.381 --> 00:11:24.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
It was awful.
00:11:24.417 --> 00:11:25.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I loved her so much,
00:11:25.918 --> 00:11:27.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that's why it hurt so bad
00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:29.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that I found a place
00:11:29.455 --> 00:11:31.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
for her to receive ministry.
00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:33.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But as far as --
00:11:33.092 --> 00:11:37.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I had no more energy.
00:11:37.096 --> 00:11:38.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
The thought
00:11:38.397 --> 00:11:39.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of climbing that mountain
00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:41.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of rebuilding trust
00:11:41.167 --> 00:11:42.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
after the nine years that
00:11:43.002 --> 00:11:44.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we had already been through,
00:11:44.403 --> 00:11:46.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I couldn't see it.
00:11:46.138 --> 00:11:47.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So didn't want anybody else,
00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:49.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
didn't desire anybody else but
00:11:49.575 --> 00:11:50.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I just like I can't do this.
00:11:51.043 --> 00:11:52.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
HOPE: Wanted to be done.
00:11:52.478 --> 00:11:53.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
RON: In other words,
00:11:53.646 --> 00:11:54.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
here where I was.
00:11:55.047 --> 00:11:57.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Loving you hurts too bad.
00:11:57.850 --> 00:11:59.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Loving you is painful.
00:11:59.885 --> 00:12:01.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
And so,
00:12:01.287 --> 00:12:03.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I want you to be better.
00:12:03.589 --> 00:12:04.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I know something is wrong.
00:12:04.824 --> 00:12:06.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
She was emotionally
00:12:06.325 --> 00:12:08.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in a terrible place.
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I put her somewhere.
00:12:09.862 --> 00:12:10.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I paid for that,
00:12:10.963 --> 00:12:12.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but I let her know
00:12:12.131 --> 00:12:13.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
as far as our marriage
00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:14.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I no longer seek
00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to reconcile.
00:12:15.634 --> 00:12:16.869 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
RANDY: I completely
00:12:16.936 --> 00:12:18.104 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
understand that,
00:12:18.170 --> 00:12:19.338 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I'm sure she does too.
00:12:19.405 --> 00:12:20.539 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
But I also know
00:12:20.606 --> 00:12:21.607 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
that there are times
00:12:21.674 --> 00:12:22.875 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
when you've got
00:12:22.942 --> 00:12:24.710 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
to turn somebody over to God.
00:12:24.777 --> 00:12:26.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
RON: I was there.
00:12:26.312 --> 00:12:28.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
RANDY: I get it.
00:12:28.314 --> 00:12:29.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, when we talk about
00:12:29.548 --> 00:12:30.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
If You Don't Fight
00:12:30.749 --> 00:12:31.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Then You Don't Win,
00:12:31.851 --> 00:12:32.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
what happened in-between
00:12:33.052 --> 00:12:34.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to get you back to where
00:12:34.353 --> 00:12:36.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you're willing to even --
00:12:36.255 --> 00:12:37.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you even have the strength
00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:38.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and the desire
00:12:38.891 --> 00:12:40.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to fight for a marriage?
00:12:40.359 --> 00:12:41.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
HOPE: Well,
00:12:41.627 --> 00:12:43.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I got my mojo back.
00:12:43.662 --> 00:12:46.265 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
When I was just overwhelmed
00:12:46.332 --> 00:12:49.168 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
by the love of the Lord,
00:12:49.235 --> 00:12:50.836 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
it just rejuvenated me.
00:12:50.903 --> 00:12:53.305 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
It restored
00:12:53.372 --> 00:12:54.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
all the brokenness
00:12:54.707 --> 00:12:55.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in almost a day.
00:12:56.041 --> 00:12:57.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
Really.
00:12:57.276 --> 00:12:58.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And then it was a journey
00:12:58.377 --> 00:13:00.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
of recovery
00:13:00.446 --> 00:13:01.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and changing my mind
00:13:01.881 --> 00:13:03.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and getting strength
00:13:03.749 --> 00:13:05.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and learning new patterns
00:13:05.351 --> 00:13:06.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of doing things.
00:13:06.619 --> 00:13:07.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
RON: Stayed there
00:13:07.953 --> 00:13:09.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
what seven months?
00:13:09.355 --> 00:13:10.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
HOPE: I stayed there
00:13:10.656 --> 00:13:11.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
nine months.
00:13:11.957 --> 00:13:13.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I stayed
00:13:13.225 --> 00:13:14.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
at living waters ministry
00:13:14.426 --> 00:13:15.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in North Carolina
00:13:15.528 --> 00:13:16.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for nine months.
00:13:16.729 --> 00:13:17.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I just really was determined.
00:13:17.897 --> 00:13:19.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I said I'm not going to allow
00:13:19.265 --> 00:13:21.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the enemy to win.
00:13:21.367 --> 00:13:22.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Because I know
00:13:22.635 --> 00:13:23.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that's the plot and plan
00:13:23.769 --> 00:13:24.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of the enemy
00:13:24.904 --> 00:13:26.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is to destroy our home
00:13:26.071 --> 00:13:27.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and destroy our witness
00:13:27.373 --> 00:13:28.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and our testimony
00:13:28.607 --> 00:13:29.808 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and people's lives
00:13:29.875 --> 00:13:30.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and our children.
00:13:30.976 --> 00:13:32.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I said if God's doing
00:13:32.278 --> 00:13:34.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
this supernatural work in me,
00:13:34.547 --> 00:13:35.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I'm believing
00:13:35.881 --> 00:13:37.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for a supernatural work
00:13:37.216 --> 00:13:38.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in our marriage.
00:13:38.517 --> 00:13:39.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
So, I did.
00:13:39.752 --> 00:13:40.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I hunkered down
00:13:40.886 --> 00:13:41.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and believed for it.
00:13:42.054 --> 00:13:43.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I began to pray and fast
00:13:43.322 --> 00:13:44.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and have people pray
00:13:44.423 --> 00:13:45.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and fast with me.
00:13:45.591 --> 00:13:46.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I would write to my children,
00:13:46.859 --> 00:13:47.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we have three children,
00:13:48.027 --> 00:13:49.128 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I would write them letters
00:13:49.195 --> 00:13:50.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
individual letters
00:13:50.362 --> 00:13:51.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
every single day
00:13:51.530 --> 00:13:52.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and mail them
00:13:52.698 --> 00:13:53.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
at the end of the week.
00:13:53.999 --> 00:13:55.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And in every one
00:13:55.167 --> 00:13:56.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I would tell them,
00:13:56.335 --> 00:13:57.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
"We're believing God
00:13:57.503 --> 00:13:58.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for a miracle.
00:13:58.671 --> 00:13:59.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Don't you listen
00:13:59.838 --> 00:14:00.940 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to your daddy!
00:14:01.006 --> 00:14:02.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We're believing God
00:14:02.174 --> 00:14:03.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for a miracle."
00:14:03.342 --> 00:14:04.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
RANDY: It would be one thing
00:14:04.510 --> 00:14:05.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
if his posture was
00:14:05.678 --> 00:14:06.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you go get yourself well,
00:14:06.845 --> 00:14:08.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we'll bring you back.
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:09.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But you had to have God
00:14:09.949 --> 00:14:11.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
do a work in your heart.
00:14:11.183 --> 00:14:13.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
RON: I was done.
00:14:13.886 --> 00:14:15.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was really done.
00:14:15.254 --> 00:14:16.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
She knows me.
00:14:16.322 --> 00:14:17.423 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I'm the kind of guy,
00:14:17.489 --> 00:14:18.524 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
my lines don't move.
00:14:18.591 --> 00:14:19.692 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
When I make a decision,
00:14:19.758 --> 00:14:21.060 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
it doesn't change.
00:14:21.126 --> 00:14:22.328 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
So, she knew
00:14:22.394 --> 00:14:23.629 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
what she was dealing with.
00:14:23.696 --> 00:14:24.930 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I had a divine encounter.
00:14:24.997 --> 00:14:26.165 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
I try not to be
00:14:26.232 --> 00:14:27.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
super-spiritual about things,
00:14:27.466 --> 00:14:28.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but the fact is
00:14:28.634 --> 00:14:29.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I believe in the power
00:14:29.868 --> 00:14:30.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of the Holy Spirit,
00:14:31.003 --> 00:14:32.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and I believe
00:14:32.304 --> 00:14:33.439 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in divine encounters.
00:14:33.505 --> 00:14:34.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It's probably the only thing
00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that I respected enough
00:14:36.041 --> 00:14:37.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that could have changed me.
00:14:37.209 --> 00:14:38.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I had a night --
00:14:38.310 --> 00:14:39.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had a Jacob experience
00:14:39.478 --> 00:14:40.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
where I just wrestled
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
with God.
00:14:41.947 --> 00:14:43.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
The next morning
00:14:43.115 --> 00:14:44.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you'd have thought
00:14:44.283 --> 00:14:45.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had been in ten fights
00:14:45.384 --> 00:14:46.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and come off a ten-day drunk.
00:14:46.752 --> 00:14:48.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I called my secretary,
00:14:48.587 --> 00:14:49.755 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
cancelled all my appointments.
00:14:49.822 --> 00:14:51.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I was miserable.
00:14:51.123 --> 00:14:52.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had been up all night.
00:14:52.291 --> 00:14:53.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I was screaming
00:14:53.425 --> 00:14:54.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
at the ceiling.
00:14:54.693 --> 00:14:55.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Literally, one of these
00:14:55.794 --> 00:14:56.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
made-for-movie things.
00:14:56.895 --> 00:14:57.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I had this all-night
00:14:58.030 --> 00:15:01.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
misery encounter with God.
00:15:01.533 --> 00:15:02.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And finally,
00:15:02.701 --> 00:15:03.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
screaming at the ceiling,
00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:04.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I was like,
00:15:04.937 --> 00:15:06.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"What do you want me to do?"
00:15:06.105 --> 00:15:07.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:15:07.206 --> 00:15:08.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"I want you to call her."
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:09.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You've got to understand,
00:15:09.475 --> 00:15:10.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we weren't speaking.
00:15:10.476 --> 00:15:11.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
HOPE: And if we were,
00:15:11.577 --> 00:15:12.678 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we were fighting.
00:15:12.745 --> 00:15:13.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
RON: The few times
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
we had to communicate,
00:15:15.014 --> 00:15:16.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
it wasn't good.
00:15:16.148 --> 00:15:17.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:15:17.449 --> 00:15:18.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"I want you to call her
00:15:18.550 --> 00:15:19.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and tell her
00:15:19.718 --> 00:15:20.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you will not abandon her."
00:15:21.053 --> 00:15:23.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm going to tell you,
00:15:23.756 --> 00:15:25.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that's something I did
00:15:25.357 --> 00:15:26.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
by faith
00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:28.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because none of the feelings
00:15:28.961 --> 00:15:30.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
were there to say that.
00:15:30.429 --> 00:15:32.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I did not want to do that.
00:15:32.398 --> 00:15:33.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
And tell them
00:15:33.666 --> 00:15:34.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what was going on
00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:35.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
when you got that call.
00:15:35.868 --> 00:15:37.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
HOPE: Well, that had been
00:15:37.069 --> 00:15:38.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
about two months
00:15:38.137 --> 00:15:39.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
into the separation.
00:15:39.905 --> 00:15:41.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I was losing some hope
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:42.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
at that point
00:15:42.708 --> 00:15:44.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because he was not wavering.
00:15:44.910 --> 00:15:46.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I had lost 23 pounds,
00:15:46.845 --> 00:15:48.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was just getting
00:15:48.814 --> 00:15:50.783 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
very desperate;
00:15:50.849 --> 00:15:52.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that was from fasting
00:15:52.384 --> 00:15:54.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and getting desperate.
00:15:54.787 --> 00:15:56.088 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
That day,
00:15:56.155 --> 00:15:57.656 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I went on a walk,
00:15:57.723 --> 00:15:58.957 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
and it was
00:15:59.024 --> 00:16:01.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
a little country road.
00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:03.896 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
It was in November,
00:16:03.962 --> 00:16:06.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and I said,
00:16:06.332 --> 00:16:07.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"Lord, would you send
00:16:07.800 --> 00:16:09.101 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a chicken truck"
00:16:09.168 --> 00:16:10.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because that's what
00:16:10.369 --> 00:16:11.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was out there,
00:16:11.503 --> 00:16:12.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"around the corner
00:16:12.671 --> 00:16:13.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and just kill me?
00:16:13.972 --> 00:16:15.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Could you just take me out?
00:16:15.107 --> 00:16:16.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm causing these people
00:16:16.475 --> 00:16:17.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
too much pain.
00:16:18.043 --> 00:16:19.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Nothing is working.
00:16:19.478 --> 00:16:21.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Could you just take me out?"
00:16:21.747 --> 00:16:23.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And immediately,
00:16:23.582 --> 00:16:25.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I saw a flower that had
00:16:25.317 --> 00:16:27.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
popped out of the concrete.
00:16:27.553 --> 00:16:29.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I saw this beautiful bird
00:16:29.121 --> 00:16:30.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that had flown
00:16:30.289 --> 00:16:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
out of this old hay pasture.
00:16:32.725 --> 00:16:33.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And he spoke to me
00:16:33.959 --> 00:16:36.695 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and said, "If I care for them,
00:16:36.762 --> 00:16:38.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
don't you know
00:16:38.263 --> 00:16:39.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that I care for you?
00:16:39.631 --> 00:16:40.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And that I'm working
00:16:40.933 --> 00:16:42.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
when you don't know
00:16:42.201 --> 00:16:43.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that I'm working?"
00:16:43.569 --> 00:16:44.737 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And immediately,
00:16:44.803 --> 00:16:46.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
hope sprang back up in me.
00:16:46.071 --> 00:16:47.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I turned around, started
00:16:47.473 --> 00:16:48.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
walking back to the house
00:16:48.574 --> 00:16:49.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and the pastor came and said,
00:16:49.742 --> 00:16:50.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
"I've been looking for you.
00:16:50.976 --> 00:16:52.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Ron's called."
00:16:52.378 --> 00:16:53.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was like, oh, no!
00:16:53.545 --> 00:16:54.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I just got my hopes up.
00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:55.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Now he's calling. It's bad.
00:16:55.914 --> 00:16:57.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
What are you doing, God?
00:16:57.916 --> 00:16:59.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So, I went inside,
00:16:59.685 --> 00:17:01.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
tried to dry my face
00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the Lord took me
00:17:02.388 --> 00:17:03.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to the scriptures.
00:17:03.589 --> 00:17:04.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
God, you've got
00:17:04.723 --> 00:17:05.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to give me a word.
00:17:05.824 --> 00:17:06.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And he took me
00:17:06.925 --> 00:17:08.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to the scripture in Samuel
00:17:08.093 --> 00:17:09.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
where David
00:17:09.161 --> 00:17:10.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
was going to buy a field.
00:17:10.929 --> 00:17:12.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And the guy was like, you
00:17:12.631 --> 00:17:14.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
don't have to pay anything,
00:17:14.466 --> 00:17:15.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you're the king.
00:17:15.968 --> 00:17:17.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And he said, "I will not
00:17:17.536 --> 00:17:18.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
offer anything to the Lord
00:17:18.837 --> 00:17:20.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that does not cost me."
00:17:20.939 --> 00:17:22.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I said, "God,
00:17:22.307 --> 00:17:23.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what are you saying to me?"
00:17:23.709 --> 00:17:24.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:17:24.877 --> 00:17:26.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"You've done everything
00:17:26.111 --> 00:17:28.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
but sow a seed."
00:17:28.080 --> 00:17:29.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I said, "God,
00:17:29.314 --> 00:17:30.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I don't have anything.
00:17:30.516 --> 00:17:31.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
All I have is a $1,000
00:17:31.617 --> 00:17:32.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to my name.
00:17:32.684 --> 00:17:34.853 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I have $1,000 I put aside."
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:36.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I had no credit cards,
00:17:36.188 --> 00:17:37.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I had no insurance,
00:17:37.356 --> 00:17:38.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I had nothing.
00:17:38.557 --> 00:17:39.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He told me to give it
00:17:39.658 --> 00:17:40.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the people
00:17:40.826 --> 00:17:41.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I was staying with.
00:17:42.060 --> 00:17:43.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, I went down there,
00:17:43.228 --> 00:17:44.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I took the $1,000
00:17:44.296 --> 00:17:45.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I told them the story,
00:17:45.330 --> 00:17:46.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
slid it across the table.
00:17:46.598 --> 00:17:47.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I said, "I'm believing
00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:48.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for a miracle."
00:17:48.934 --> 00:17:50.202 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Ron calls five minutes later
00:17:50.269 --> 00:17:52.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and he said --
00:17:52.337 --> 00:17:53.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
told me the whole night.
00:17:53.605 --> 00:17:54.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And he said,
00:17:54.973 --> 00:17:56.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"And I've called to tell you
00:17:56.208 --> 00:17:57.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that I will not abandon you."
00:17:57.676 --> 00:17:59.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I just -- I remember
00:17:59.845 --> 00:18:01.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
leaning over onto the desk
00:18:01.647 --> 00:18:02.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and that ugly cry.
00:18:02.848 --> 00:18:04.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Aah! Ugly cry!
00:18:05.050 --> 00:18:07.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And Ron said, "Oh, no, no, no!
00:18:07.286 --> 00:18:08.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I don't know what this means."
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughing]
00:18:10.088 --> 00:18:11.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:12.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"I really don't know what
00:18:12.291 --> 00:18:13.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
this looks like or means."
00:18:13.492 --> 00:18:14.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I said, "But I do!
00:18:14.793 --> 00:18:16.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That's all I needed."
00:18:16.128 --> 00:18:17.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God gave me my miracle.
00:18:17.830 --> 00:18:19.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And it was that day
00:18:19.364 --> 00:18:20.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that we started
00:18:20.632 --> 00:18:21.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
our restoration.
00:18:21.934 --> 00:18:23.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
RANDY: Wow!
00:18:23.235 --> 00:18:24.570 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
Okay, there is
00:18:24.636 --> 00:18:25.871 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
so much more to this.
00:18:25.938 --> 00:18:27.039 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I want you to know
00:18:27.105 --> 00:18:28.507 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
God has not abandoned you.
00:18:28.574 --> 00:18:29.675 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
I don't know where you're at.
00:18:29.741 --> 00:18:31.043 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
I don't know where you failed.
00:18:31.109 --> 00:18:32.311 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
I don't know
00:18:32.377 --> 00:18:33.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
who has failed you,
00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:35.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
but you feel like you're done.
00:18:35.481 --> 00:18:36.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Or you feel
00:18:36.682 --> 00:18:37.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
like you're useless,
00:18:37.816 --> 00:18:39.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you just want to die.
00:18:39.551 --> 00:18:41.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
What a word
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.155 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from a husband to a wife!
00:18:43.222 --> 00:18:44.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
A husband who doesn't
00:18:44.389 --> 00:18:45.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
have it within himself
00:18:45.757 --> 00:18:47.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
saying, "I'm not
00:18:47.192 --> 00:18:48.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
going to abandon you."
00:18:48.494 --> 00:18:49.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
That's God.
00:18:49.695 --> 00:18:50.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God's saying that
00:18:51.063 --> 00:18:52.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to some of you
00:18:52.364 --> 00:18:53.599 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:18:53.665 --> 00:18:54.766 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
If you want
00:18:54.833 --> 00:18:55.834 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
to pick up that phone
00:18:55.901 --> 00:18:57.035 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
and have someone
00:18:57.102 --> 00:18:58.103 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
just pray with you,
00:18:58.170 --> 00:18:59.204 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
it doesn't matter
00:18:59.271 --> 00:19:00.439 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
where you're at,
00:19:00.506 --> 00:19:01.507 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
it doesn't matter
00:19:01.573 --> 00:19:02.541 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
what you've been through.
00:19:02.608 --> 00:19:03.675 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You may not even know
00:19:03.742 --> 00:19:04.776 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
what the future holds, but
00:19:04.843 --> 00:19:05.844 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
somebody will pray with you
00:19:05.911 --> 00:19:06.945 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:19:07.012 --> 00:19:08.113 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
Just pick that phone up,
00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:09.281 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
call that number
00:19:09.348 --> 00:19:10.449 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
for some encouragement.
00:19:10.516 --> 00:19:13.418 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Because God will give you
00:19:13.485 --> 00:19:15.821 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
that ability to fight
00:19:15.888 --> 00:19:17.155 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
because he's already
00:19:17.222 --> 00:19:18.790 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
won the fight.
00:19:18.857 --> 00:19:19.892 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
You're going to learn more
00:19:19.958 --> 00:19:21.293 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
about that on another program
00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:23.061 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
with Ron and Hope.
00:19:23.128 --> 00:19:24.129 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
But right now,
00:19:24.196 --> 00:19:25.297 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
you might just need
00:19:25.364 --> 00:19:26.398 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that encouragement
00:19:26.465 --> 00:19:27.566 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
that Hope got on that day
00:19:27.633 --> 00:19:29.935 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
out of nowhere --
00:19:30.002 --> 00:19:32.271 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
God's with you.
00:19:32.337 --> 00:19:33.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We have another opportunity
00:19:33.572 --> 00:19:34.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that we're going to show you
00:19:34.673 --> 00:19:35.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because many of you
00:19:35.774 --> 00:19:36.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
have supported this outreach
00:19:36.942 --> 00:19:37.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
over the years,
00:19:38.010 --> 00:19:39.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of giving hope to people
00:19:39.144 --> 00:19:40.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that have no hope
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.346 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or it seems like
00:19:41.413 --> 00:19:42.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
they have no hope.
00:19:42.581 --> 00:19:43.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Maybe you just need to reach
00:19:43.682 --> 00:19:45.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
beyond yourself today
00:19:45.417 --> 00:19:46.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and be that lifeline
00:19:46.852 --> 00:19:48.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for someone else.
00:19:48.253 --> 00:19:49.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Watch this and we'll tell you
00:19:49.488 --> 00:19:50.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
how you can give hope
00:19:50.622 --> 00:19:52.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to another person today.
00:19:55.827 --> 00:19:57.763 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
In rural Africa,
00:19:57.829 --> 00:19:59.932 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
when families don't have
enough food to eat,
00:19:59.998 --> 00:20:02.901 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
it is the children
who suffer the most.
00:20:02.968 --> 00:20:05.771 align:start line:10% position:18% size:65%
Sub‑Saharan Africa has
the highest mortality rate
00:20:05.837 --> 00:20:07.773 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%
than any place
in the world
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:09.775 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
in children under five
00:20:09.841 --> 00:20:12.644 align:center line:10% position:50% size:45%
due to the effects
of malnutrition.
00:20:12.711 --> 00:20:14.680 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
But in the midst
of suffering,
00:20:14.746 --> 00:20:17.616 align:center line:10% position:50% size:43%
there are moments
to celebrate.
00:20:17.683 --> 00:20:19.618 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
ISAK: I want you
to meet Tereza.
00:20:19.685 --> 00:20:24.389 align:start line:58% position:30% size:40%
This young girl
just a month ago
00:20:24.456 --> 00:20:26.391 align:center line:58% position:50% size:48%
was in this
malnutrition clinic
00:20:26.458 --> 00:20:29.194 align:center line:58% position:50% size:45%
literally fighting
for her life.
00:20:29.261 --> 00:20:31.897 align:start line:74% position:23% size:53%
One of those children
where it is just
skin and bone,
00:20:31.964 --> 00:20:35.367 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
where it is a child that
has no life in their eyes,
00:20:35.434 --> 00:20:38.337 align:center line:79% position:50% size:75%
that literally,
we are doing everything we can
00:20:38.403 --> 00:20:40.339 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
to try and save
their life.
00:20:40.405 --> 00:20:44.176 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
And we knew with Tereza
like so many,
00:20:44.242 --> 00:20:47.446 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that the chances
are not always there
00:20:47.512 --> 00:20:49.448 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that we can actually
rescue their life.
00:20:49.514 --> 00:20:51.450 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
And yet, because of
Mission Feeding,
00:20:51.516 --> 00:20:53.452 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
because of being there
in this clinic,
00:20:53.518 --> 00:20:55.454 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
because of reaching
Tereza in time,
00:20:55.520 --> 00:20:57.456 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
here she stands today,
00:20:57.522 --> 00:20:59.458 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
a young girl
that is recovering,
00:20:59.524 --> 00:21:01.460 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
that is getting
her strength back
00:21:01.526 --> 00:21:04.997 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
and is able to now
continue living life.
00:21:05.063 --> 00:21:06.999 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
There are so many
in this country right now
00:21:07.065 --> 00:21:09.001 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
that we're
not reaching.
00:21:09.067 --> 00:21:11.003 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
Children out
in the villages.
00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:14.272 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
Mothers who are telling us
they can't get to clinics.
00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:16.375 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
That they don't have food
to feed their children.
00:21:16.441 --> 00:21:19.111 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
Children that look
like severe cases
00:21:19.177 --> 00:21:21.113 align:center line:85% position:50% size:58%
in malnutrition clinics
00:21:21.179 --> 00:21:23.115 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that are right out there
in the villages.
00:21:23.181 --> 00:21:26.485 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
If we're not able
to reach them today,
00:21:26.551 --> 00:21:30.055 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
their story is not going
to end like Tereza's.
00:21:30.122 --> 00:21:32.257 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
We need you to do
everything you can do.
00:21:32.324 --> 00:21:35.460 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
We need
the friends of LIFE
00:21:35.527 --> 00:21:37.629 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
to open
their hearts today
00:21:37.696 --> 00:21:40.465 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
and give the very best gift
they can give
00:21:40.532 --> 00:21:43.368 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
because we have
to reach more children
00:21:43.435 --> 00:21:46.438 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
here in Angola
and save their lives.
00:21:49.341 --> 00:21:50.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
RANDY: I love seeing
00:21:50.609 --> 00:21:51.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the stories of children
00:21:51.843 --> 00:21:53.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that have benefited from
00:21:53.145 --> 00:21:54.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the Mission Feeding outreach.
00:21:54.446 --> 00:21:55.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I don't know if you noticed
00:21:55.747 --> 00:21:57.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but in a lot of the pictures
00:21:57.115 --> 00:21:58.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you'll see a little building
00:21:58.517 --> 00:22:01.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
behind the line of children.
00:22:01.887 --> 00:22:03.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's because education --
00:22:03.355 --> 00:22:04.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
those are school buildings --
00:22:04.589 --> 00:22:05.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
education is
00:22:05.824 --> 00:22:07.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a foundational part of
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the Mission Feeding outreach.
00:22:08.694 --> 00:22:09.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Typically,
00:22:09.928 --> 00:22:11.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we feed in the schools.
00:22:11.196 --> 00:22:12.531 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The children go to school,
00:22:12.597 --> 00:22:14.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
they get something to eat.
00:22:14.366 --> 00:22:15.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Why do we do that?
00:22:15.701 --> 00:22:17.002 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because Mission Feeding
00:22:17.069 --> 00:22:18.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is not just about meeting
00:22:18.403 --> 00:22:19.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the immediate need,
00:22:19.771 --> 00:22:21.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
it does that,
00:22:21.206 --> 00:22:22.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
but it is also about building
00:22:22.908 --> 00:22:24.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for a future.
00:22:24.242 --> 00:22:25.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
A future with a hope.
00:22:25.811 --> 00:22:27.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And so, what we're doing here
00:22:27.212 --> 00:22:29.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is a program with vision.
00:22:29.848 --> 00:22:32.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Over 350,000 children
00:22:32.384 --> 00:22:34.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
every single day on average
00:22:34.886 --> 00:22:36.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
receive that bowl
00:22:36.688 --> 00:22:38.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of nutritious soup,
00:22:38.090 --> 00:22:39.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and that is just to get them
00:22:39.257 --> 00:22:40.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
through the day.
00:22:40.792 --> 00:22:42.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Oftentimes, it is in areas
00:22:42.227 --> 00:22:44.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
where there has been a crisis,
00:22:44.229 --> 00:22:45.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
perhaps a famine,
00:22:45.597 --> 00:22:46.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
perhaps a flood,
00:22:46.965 --> 00:22:48.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
perhaps displacement
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:49.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from civil unrest.
00:22:49.701 --> 00:22:51.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Whatever the situation,
00:22:51.236 --> 00:22:53.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we go in and hold them over
00:22:53.405 --> 00:22:54.706 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
until they can get back
00:22:54.773 --> 00:22:56.007 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on their feet
00:22:56.074 --> 00:22:57.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and can continue to build
00:22:57.409 --> 00:22:58.643 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for their future.
00:22:58.710 --> 00:23:00.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now that's a great thing,
00:23:00.112 --> 00:23:01.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I think.
00:23:01.346 --> 00:23:02.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
A lot of organizations
00:23:02.647 --> 00:23:04.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
will do this.
00:23:04.082 --> 00:23:05.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But let me tell you
00:23:05.217 --> 00:23:06.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a key difference.
00:23:06.551 --> 00:23:07.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
We do it
00:23:07.886 --> 00:23:09.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the name of Jesus Christ.
00:23:09.287 --> 00:23:10.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Now, we don't
00:23:10.622 --> 00:23:11.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
have requirements.
00:23:11.890 --> 00:23:13.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
If you're hungry,
00:23:13.225 --> 00:23:14.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that's really
00:23:14.526 --> 00:23:15.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the only requirement
00:23:15.994 --> 00:23:17.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to receive that bowl of food.
00:23:17.562 --> 00:23:18.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
But when you're around people,
00:23:18.964 --> 00:23:20.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when you're saving
00:23:20.298 --> 00:23:21.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
people's lives,
00:23:21.533 --> 00:23:22.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
they know.
00:23:22.868 --> 00:23:23.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Sometimes they'll ask.
00:23:24.002 --> 00:23:25.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And sometimes we have
00:23:25.337 --> 00:23:26.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
opportunities to go in
00:23:26.671 --> 00:23:27.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and preach
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
just outright preach
00:23:29.274 --> 00:23:30.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the gospel to people.
00:23:30.475 --> 00:23:31.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But we can always
00:23:31.777 --> 00:23:32.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
demonstrate it
00:23:33.044 --> 00:23:34.312 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
through those works.
00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:35.514 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
That's what we're inviting you
00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.915 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
to be a part of,
00:23:36.982 --> 00:23:38.250 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
to be the hands and feet
00:23:38.316 --> 00:23:39.551 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
of Jesus,
00:23:39.618 --> 00:23:40.786 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
to be the gospel
00:23:40.852 --> 00:23:42.020 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
in word and deed.
00:23:42.087 --> 00:23:43.455 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
Not just to tell people
00:23:43.522 --> 00:23:44.756 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
about Christ
00:23:44.823 --> 00:23:46.992 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
or tell them about his love
00:23:47.058 --> 00:23:48.393 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
but to show it
00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:51.196 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
to the people in need.
00:23:51.263 --> 00:23:52.564 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
That's why we want you
00:23:52.631 --> 00:23:53.965 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
to be a part of it.
00:23:54.032 --> 00:23:55.333 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
The more people participate,
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.568 align:start line:58% position:10% size:20%
the more
00:23:56.635 --> 00:23:57.936 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
people are able to give,
00:23:58.003 --> 00:23:59.237 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
the more that we can reach.
00:23:59.304 --> 00:24:00.438 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
And believe me,
00:24:00.505 --> 00:24:01.640 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
the need is there.
00:24:01.706 --> 00:24:02.874 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
But I believe
00:24:02.941 --> 00:24:04.009 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
the solution is there
00:24:04.075 --> 00:24:05.410 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
and I believe
00:24:05.477 --> 00:24:06.812 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
the solution is you.
00:24:06.878 --> 00:24:08.013 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
Right now,
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:09.214 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the situation is critical.
00:24:09.281 --> 00:24:10.549 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
Children are dying in clinics,
00:24:10.615 --> 00:24:12.150 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
and they don't need to.
00:24:12.217 --> 00:24:13.585 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
We need to reach them
00:24:13.652 --> 00:24:15.020 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
before they get to that point,
00:24:15.086 --> 00:24:16.521 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
before they get to the clinic.
00:24:16.588 --> 00:24:18.190 align:start line:58% position:10% size:20%
We do it
00:24:18.256 --> 00:24:19.257 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
through your participation.
00:24:19.324 --> 00:24:20.826 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
We do it through $30
00:24:20.892 --> 00:24:22.260 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
that helps feed three children
00:24:22.327 --> 00:24:23.562 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
for the next three months.
00:24:23.628 --> 00:24:25.664 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
A gift of $50 feeds five.
00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:27.399 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
$100 will help feed ten.
00:24:27.465 --> 00:24:28.934 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
Maybe you can give $1,000
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.769 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
and help feed 100 children
00:24:30.836 --> 00:24:32.971 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
just for the next few months.
00:24:33.038 --> 00:24:34.272 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
Whatever God has
00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:35.440 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
enabled you to do,
00:24:35.507 --> 00:24:36.575 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
whatever he's put
00:24:36.641 --> 00:24:37.809 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
on your heart to do,
00:24:37.876 --> 00:24:39.077 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
I pray you'll do it right now.
00:24:39.144 --> 00:24:40.545 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
Pick up the phone
00:24:40.612 --> 00:24:41.746 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
or go online,
00:24:41.813 --> 00:24:43.215 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
however you prefer.
00:24:43.281 --> 00:24:44.983 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
Make the best gift you can
00:24:45.050 --> 00:24:47.052 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
towards Mission Feeding.
00:24:47.118 --> 00:24:49.087 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
Know that it will save lives.
00:24:49.154 --> 00:24:51.256 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
It will give them hope.
00:24:51.323 --> 00:24:53.158 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
It will give them a future.
00:24:53.225 --> 00:24:54.826 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
And it will be done
00:24:54.893 --> 00:24:58.029 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
in the name of Jesus Christ.
00:24:59.030 --> 00:25:01.433 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Right now across
the continent of Africa,
00:25:01.499 --> 00:25:03.535 align:center line:58% position:50% size:35%
children
are suffering,
00:25:03.602 --> 00:25:06.371 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
facing severe malnutrition
and even death.
00:25:06.438 --> 00:25:08.440 align:start line:58% position:30% size:38%
Extreme drought
and famine
00:25:08.506 --> 00:25:10.942 align:center line:58% position:50% size:45%
putting at risk
thousands of lives
00:25:11.009 --> 00:25:13.511 align:center line:58% position:50% size:63%
means we must replenish
food supplies immediately
00:25:13.578 --> 00:25:16.748 align:center line:58% position:50% size:50%
to keep feeding
the 350,000 children
00:25:16.815 --> 00:25:20.118 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
and help reach more people
in desperate need.
00:25:20.185 --> 00:25:22.287 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%

00:25:33.398 --> 00:25:35.400 align:center line:58% position:75% size:30%

three, five,

full months.
