YOU'RE FIVE FEET --
100 -- YOU'VE GOT HARDLY A
SPEC OF ATHLETIC ABILITY.
Reporter: MEET THE REAL
LIFE RUDY, AND FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER THE BIG
GAME.
PLUS, AN OPEN DOOR.
AND HE PULLED OUT THIS
ROLLED UP MAGAZINE.
Reporter: BECOMES A
SECRET ADDICTION.
I HAVE DESTROYED MY LIFE
AND THE LIFE OF ANOTHER
PERSON.
Reporter: ON TODAY'S
"700 CLUB."

[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
THE LAST TIME I LOOKED, IT'S
MONDAY.
Terry: IT IS.
YOU ARE CORRECT.
Pat: WERE YOU INVOLVED
IN SPORTS THIS WEEKEND?
Terry: OF COURSE.
OUR WHOLE WEEKEND.
THE REDSKINS LOOKED LIKE
THEY COULD BE MAKING A
TURN.
Pat: UNBELIEVABLE.
NEW QUARTERBACK, FANTASTIC.
Terry: THE PACKERS WILL
BE BACK.
NOT YESTERDAY.
Pat: SANCHEZ THREW ALL
KINDS OF TOUCHDOWNS, AND --
WHAT'S HIS FACE IS BACK WITH
DENVER AFTER -- PEYTON
MANNING.
THEY PAID HIM $95 MILLION OR
SOMETHING, BUT HE SCORED AND
SCORED AND SCORED.
HE WAS FABULOUS.
HE HAD A NERVE THING,.
Terry: THAT'S SCARY.
Pat: AND SEA SYRIAN
SERENA WILLIAMS, SHE IS
UNBELIEVABLE.
IT WAS THREE SETS AND IT WAS
DOWN TO THE WIRE, AND SHE
PULLED OFF SOME FABULOUS
SHOTS.
AND IT WAS UNBELIEVAB
Pat: IT'S READY FOR
AMERICA.
THE NEWS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
ADVOCATES AND CHRISTIANS
HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR FOR
YEARS.
IN A SURPRISE MOVE, AN
IRANIAN COURT RELEASED
IMPRISONED PASTOR US YOUCEF
NARDICANI.
Reporter: THIS IS THE
SCENE CHRISTIANS AROUND THE
WORLD HAVE BEEN PRAYING TO
SEE.
PASTOR US YUSEF
NARDARKHANI.
IT IS A MIRACLE, THREE YEARS
IN THE MAKING.
AN IRANIAN COURT SENTENCED
HIM TO DEATH FOR LEAVING
ISLAM FOR CHRISTIAN.
WHEN ASKED TO RESPENT BY THE
JUDGES, USEF STATED, "REPENT
MEANS TO RETURN.
WHAT SHOULD I RETURN TO, TO
THE BLASPHEMY I HAD BEFORE
MY BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST?"
THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW
AND JUSTICE HAS BEEN CLOSELY
INVOLVED IN EFFORTS TO
RELEASE PASTOR NARD
NARDARKANI.
AND INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY PUT
PRESSURE ON IRANIAN REGINA.
THEN THIS WEEKEND CAME A
STARTLING DECISION.
THE JUDGE ACQUITTED HIM OF
APOSTASY, BUT SENTENCED HIM
TO TIME ALREADY SERVED.
USEF IS NOW FREE, BUT HE IS
STILL IN GREAT DANGER.
A FORMER PRESIDENT O TOLD
CBN NEWS NEWS HE MAY BE IN
MORE DANGER THAN BEFORE.
SOMEONE MAY BE JUDICIALLY
ACQUITTED OR RELEASED ON A
TECHNICALITY, BUT THEIR
LIVES ARE UNDER THREAT.
THEY CAN SIMPLY DISAPPEAR OR
THEY CAN BE TORTURED.
BY NO MEANS IS PASTOR USEF'S
SITUATION FREE AND CLEAR,
EVEN IF HE IS ACQUITTED OF
THESE CHARGES.
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: THIS IS A GREAT
VICTORY.
THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW
AND JUSTICE WORKED
TIRELESSLY TO SEE PASTOR
YUSEF NARDARKHANI SET FREE.
THIS IS A TREMENDOUS
VICTORY?
Reporter: TREMENDOUS
AND UNEXPECTED.
YOU AND I WERE TOGETHER ON
FRIDAY.
WE DID NOT EXPECT THIS
DECISION.
THE COURT CONVICTED HIM ON A
LESSER CHARGE AND GAVE HIM
TIME SERVED, AND HE WALKED
OUT OF THAT JAIL FREE.
I'VE GOT TO SAY THIS, WE HAD
A GLOBAL EFFORT HERE ON THIS
BEHALF.
NOT ONLY WITH THE UNITED
STATES STATE DEPARTMENT AND
SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON,
BUT ALSO THE GOVERNMENTS OF
BRAZIL AND GERMAN.
PASTOR YUSEF NARDARKHANI WAS
MENTIONED ON SEVERAL
OCCASIONS.
I'VE GOT TO GIVE A BIG HAND
TO OUR YOUNGER LAWYERS, MOST
OF THEM REGENT UNIVERSITY
GRADUATES, INCLUDING MY SON
AND MATT CLARK, ALL OF WHICH
PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN THE
RELEASE OF HIS PASTOR FROM
THREE YEARS OF
INCARCERATION.
IT IS A MAJOR VICTORY.
BUT AS THE REPORT JUST SAID,
WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL
BECAUSE HIS LIFE CAN BE PUT
IN JEOPARDY, AND THE OTHER
IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS,
PAT, IS THIS DECISION --
PEOPLE THINK IT IS COMING
FROM THE JUDGE.
IT DIDN'T COME FROM THE
JUDGE.
THIS CAME FROM THE AYATOLLAH
HIMSELF.
Pat: WELL, CAN YOU GET
THAT MAN OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
DO YOU SUPPOSE?
I UNDERSTAND ANY PERSON ON
THE STREET CAN SHOOT HIM.
Reporter: WELL, LOOK,
AS THE GENTLEMAN FROM "OPEN
DOOR" SAID, THE RISK IS
HIGH.
THE PASTOR HASN'T AT THIS
POINT INDICATED HE WANTS TO
LEAVE.
HE HAD A SUCCESSFUL MINISTRY
IN IRAN, AND THERE ARE A LOT
OF CHRISTIANS UNDERGROUND IN
IRAQ, AND THE FACT HIS CASE
RECEIVED SO MUCH COVERAGE,
INCLUDING CBN, AND I WANT TO
THANK YOU, BUT IT PUTS THE
GOVERNMENT IN A PERPLEXING
SITUATION.
PEOPLE ARE WATCHING IT.
IF DANGER WERE TO COME TO
THE PASTOR, IT WOULD
EMBARRASS THAT REGIME.
HE'LL MAKE THAT DECISION.
THAT'S BETWEEN HIS FAMILY,
HIM, AND THE LORD, AND
THEY'LL MAKE THE RIGHT
DECISION FOR HIM AND HIS
FAMILY AND HIS CHRISTIANS.
BUT IT WAS A GLOBAL
VICTORY.
I CALL THIS THE MEDIA
ADVOCACY.
THERE WAS VERY LITTLE, AS
YOU CAN IMAGINE, WE WERE
ABLE TO DO IN THE COURTROOM,
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
GALVANIZE ATTENTION.
Pat: THIS THING REALLY
PUT THE SCREWS TO THE
ISLAMIC PEOPLE.
THAT THEY TOOK SOMEBODY WHO
BECAME A CHRISTIAN -- THAT
WAS HIS ONLY OFFENSE, HE
BECAME A CHRISTIAN -- AND IN
EXCHANGE FOR THAT THEY SAY
WE'RE GOING TO EXECUTE YOU.
THAT GIVES A LOT TO ALL OF
THIS RELIGION OF PEACE THEY
WERE PUTTING AROUND THE
WORLD.
IT TOOK AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT
OF EFFORT.
THAT WAS AN ENORMOUS EFFORT
TO GET THOSE PEOPLE TO
CHANGE THEIR MIND.
MAYBE IT WILL BE THE FIRST
OF MANY.
LET'S HOPE SO.
Reporter: WE WANT TO
REMEMBER THERE ARE OTHERS IN
JAIL IN IRAN.
EGYPT HAS A HORRIBLE
SITUATION.
YOU SAW IT LAST WEEK WITH
EXECUTIONS BEING DONE BY THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
PAT, YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT
IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
NEED TO UNDERLINE.
WE ARE THRILLED FOR THE
PASTOR AND HIS FAMILY, BUT
THERE ARE OTHERS IN NEED.
WE NEED TO NOT STOP FOR A
MOMENT.
WE MUST CONTINUE TO BRING
GLOBAL ATTENTION TO THIS.
WE MUST CONTINUE
FORTHRIGHTLY DEMANDING
JUSTICE FOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS.
WE HAD GOVERNMENTS FROM
BRAZIL, TO GERMANY, TO THE
EUROPEAN UNION, TO THE STATE
DEPARTMENT HERE, TO THE VERY
FLOOR OF THE UNITED NATIONS
INVOLVED IN THIS.
THE END RESULT WAS GREAT.
I NEED TO SAY THIS, OUR
OFFICES AROUND THE GLOBAL
WERE MOBILIZED ON THIS.
OUR OFFICES IN RUSSIA, WHEN
ARE STARTED BACK IN 1997,
AND OUR OFFICES IN
JERUSALEM, ALL OF THOSE
OFFICES FULLY ENGAGED IN
THIS.
Pat: IT IS A GREAT
VICTORY, AND IT WILL COME
THROUGH AS A PROPAGANDA,
TRYING FOR THE IRAN REGIME,
BUT MAYBE -- MAYBE THEY WILL
SAY WE BETTER EASE UP A
LITTLE BIT.
IN SO DOING, IT WILL BLESS A
NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS.
JAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR THIS
RULING FOR THIS VERY, VERY
BRAVE PASTOR.
LEE WEBB HAS MORE OF OUR TOP
STORIES FROM THE CBN NEWS
ROOM, LEE?
Lee: PAT, WE HAVE
ANOTHER STORY RELATED TO THE
ONE YOU AND JAY WERE JUST
TALKING ABOUT.
A YOUNG PAKISTANI CHRISTIAN
GIRL IS CELEBRATING HER
RELEASE FROM JAIL.
THE 14-YEAR-OLD WAS ARRESTED
AFTER A GROUP OF ANGRY
MUSLIMS ACCUSED OF BURNING A
QURAN.
SHE LEFT THE PRISON WITH A
BLANKETS OVER HER FACE AND
SURROUNDED BY SECURITY.
SOME OF HER FORMER NEIGHBORS
SAY THEY DON'T THINK HER
FAMILY WILL RETURN TO HER
HOME.
A MUSLIM CLERIC FROM HER
NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN
ARRESTED FOR PLANNING
EVIDENCE TO INCRIMINATE
HER.
WITNESSES SAY HE DID IT TO
TRY TO PUSH CHRISTIANS OUT
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE NOW FACES BLASPHEMY
CHARGES OF HIS OWN.
PAT?
Pat: YOU KNOW, JAY, I
HAD SOME BUSINESS DEALINGS
IN PAKISTAN.
I WAS GOING TO ACQUIRE OF
ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OF
CELLULAR TELEPHONE COMPANY
IN PAKISTAN.
AND I MET WITH SOME OF THE
PEOPLE.
THEY'RE TRAINED IN BRITISH
SCHOOLS.
SOME OF THEM ARE TRAINED IN
MISSION SCHOOLS.
VERY NICE, CH ACCOMMODATING
PEOPLE.
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND SOME OF
THE CRAZINESS THAT HAS NOW
SEIZED PAKISTAN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT FROM
WHAT I'VE LEARNED.
IT WAS THE TIME OF BENAZIR
BHUTTO, AND, OF COURSE, SHE
WAS ASSASSINATED.
I KNOW THEY'RE HAVING
TROUBLE IN KARACHI, BUT
NEVERTHELESS, I JUST BELIEVE
THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME
REASON IN PAKISTAN.
THE PAKISTANIS MUST REVOLT
OR TURN AGAINST THIS
MILITANT ISLAM THAT SAYS WE
WILL EXECUTE SOME LITTLE
GIRL BECAUSE OF QUOTE
INSULTING THE PROPHET.
IF THE PROPHET IS THE
PROPHET, HE IS MAN OF GOD.
HE CAN STAND ON HIS OWN.
IT IS LIKE A LION.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DEFEND A
LION; YOU JUST TURN HIM
LOOSE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL
LITTLE GIRLS TO DEFEND THE
PROPHET OR FOR DEFACING THE
QURAN.
I CONGRATULATE THE
PAKISTANIS, AND I HOPE
THEY'LL COME BACK TO THE
SAME REASON I DISPLAY WHEN I
WAS THERE IN THEIR COUNTRY.
LEE?
Lee: PRESIDENT OBAMA
GAINED A NARROW FUNDRAISING
VICTORY OR MITT ROMNEY IN
AUGUST.
THE DEMOCRATS RAISING OVER
$114 MILLION, WHILE ROMNEY
AND THE REPUBLICANS BROUGHT
IN JUST UNDER $112 MILLION.
AND THE PRESIDENT GAINED A
POST-CONVENTION BOUNCE IN
THE POLLS.
THE RASMUSSEN SURVEY SHOWS
HIM LEADING ROMNEY 49% TO
45%.
BUT UNEMPLOYMENT IS STILL
OVER 8%, AND 368,000 PEOPLE
DROPPED OUT OF THE
WORKFORCE.
BOTH CANDIDATES ARE HITTING
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN
IMPORTANT SWING STATES.
THE PRESIDENT SPENT THE
WEEKEND IN FLORIDA.
ROMNEY IS HEADING TO OHIO
AFTER CAMPAIGNING IN
VIRGINIA SATURDAY.
GOLD IS ON THE MOVE AGAIN.
THE PRECIOUS METAL HIT ITS
HIGHEST PRICE, AROUND
$1740.
THEY THINK IT COULD GO ABOVE
ITS RECORD HIGH OF $1920.
YOU BELIEVE, PAT?
Pat: ABSOLUTELY, I
AGREE.
IF YOU WERE WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM A FEW WEEKS AGO, YOU
HEARD ME SAY THAT GOLD WAS
GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF.
Terry: I REMEMBER.
Pat: YOU DO REMEMBER
THAT?
JOHN PAULSEN IS COMING IN,
AND SORUS IS COMING IN --
THEY'RE BIG, BIG BUYERS OF
GOLD.
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT
ACTUALLY TRACKS THE PRICE OF
GOLD.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO
THE FUTURES MARKET TO BUY
GOLD.
YOU CAN GET SHARES.
IT IS GETTING HIGHER AND
HIGHER AND HIGHER.
I TOLD YOU IT WOULD GO TO
$1800 YEARS AGO.
IT HAS CAUSED $1800.
IT'S A LITTLE BEHIND THAT
RIGHT NOW, BUT IT IS TAKING
OFF WITH A BIG BOUNCE.
AND SO IS SILVER.
THE LAST TIME I LOOKED,
SILVER WAS $33 AN OUNCE AND
STILL GOING UP.
IT SAYS SOMETHING THAT THE
INVESTMENT COMMUNITY, THE
SMART MONEY, IS BETTING ON
INCREASED INFLATION AND THE
RISE OF PAPER CURRENCY, THE
FLOODING OF THE MARKET WITH
PAPER CURRENCIES.
THE NEXT ONE TO WATCH IS THE
JAPANESE YEN.
THEY ARE IN -- THEY'VE GOT,
I READ, 230% OF THEIR G.D.P.
IN DEBT.
230%.
THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD.
AND THEY'RE ALL GETTING
OLDER.
THE JAPANESE ARE VERY OLD.
THEY'RE NOT REPLACING THEIR
WORKFORCE.
AND THEY'RE GOING TO START
COLLAPSING THE YEN, SO --
Terry: YOU HEARD IT
HERE, AND YOU'LL KEEP US
POSTED, YES?
Pat: WELL, I'M TRYING
TO GAIN A FEW COINS FROM
THAT TRADE.
[LAUGHTER]
Terry: WE WILL LISTEN.
Pat: WATTS NEXT?
Terry: UP NEXT, A
NATION TORN APART BY WAR
TRIES TO MEND ITS WOUNDS.
I SEE A FUTURE GENERATION
WHO MIGHT, JUST MIGHT HAVE A
DIFFERENT FUTURE.
AND IN BUILDING THEM, WE
BUILD A NATION.
Terry: MEET THE ONE
WOMAN WHO IS TRYING TO HEAL
HER COUNTRY.
THAT'S NEXT.
Pat: WELCOME BACK,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
TODAY IS MONDAY.
THIS IS THE "THE 700 CLUB."
WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
TESTIMONY.
I'VE BEEN WARNING YOU ABOUT
THE DANGERS OF PORNOGRAPHY
TO YOUNGSTERS, AND WE'VE GOT
A CASE OF A LIFE THAT WAS
WRECKED BEYOND BELIEF WITH
PORN.
BUT WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT
LATER.
IN THE 1990s, ETHNIC AND
RELIGIOUS HATRED BOILED OVER
IN A NATION CALLED BOSNIA.
AND MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS
SLAUGHTERED EACH OTHER IN
THE STREETS.
AT LEAST 200,000 PEOPLE DIED
IN BOSNIA.
AND TWO DECADES LATER, THE
GHOSTS OF THAT WAR STILL
LINGER.
NOW ONE WOMAN IS ON A
MISSION TO HELP HEAL THE
WOUNDS OF THE PAST.
GEORGE THOMAS HAS THE STORY
FROM SARAJEVO.
Reporter: OVER 1400
DAYS THEY FOUGHT ON THE
STREETS OF SARAJEVO.
NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR,
LOVED ONE AGAINST LOVED
ONE.
WHAT CATHOLIC CROATS,
ORTHODOX SERBS AND MUSLIM
BOSIANS DID TO EACH OTHER IN
THE NAME OF ETHNICITY, IN
THE NAME OF RELIGION, WAS
SIMPLY AWFUL.
RAPE, ETHNIC CLEANSING,
GENOCIDE, COLD-BLOODED
MURDER, YOU NAME IT, IT
HAPPENED.
THE FIGHTING SPREAD FROM THE
CAPITAL AND SOON ENGULFED
THE COUNTRY.
*
Reporter: WHEN THE GUNS
FELL SILENT THREE YEARS
LATER, THE HORRORS OF WHAT
HAD HAPPENED SHOCKED THE
WORLD.
AND THE ESTIMATES ARE SOME
250,000 BOSIANS SLAUGHTERED
EACH OTHER ON THE STREETS OF
SARAJEVO.
TREBUNSKAYA, WE REMEMBER
THOSE CITIES AND THE EVENTS
THAT PLAYED OUT IN FRONT OF
OUR TELEVISION SCREENS.
NOW, 16 YEARS LATER, WITH
THOUSANDS MISSING, BOSNIA
REMAINS HAUNTED BY MEMORIES
OF WAR.
THE ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS
DIVISIONS STILL LINGER.
AND NOW AFTER THE WAR, IT
IS MAINTAINED AND SAID.
AND IT COULD BE A FIELD.
IT COULD BE FERTILE SOIL FOR
ANOTHER WAR.
Reporter: VANIA BULE
DOESN'T WANT TO SEE WAR
HAPPENING AGAIN.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, LEAVE
SOMETHING DIFFERENT AS A
HERITAGE FOR OUR CHILDREN.
Reporter: SO FOR THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, SHE
HAS TURNED THIS PEOPLE
TUCKED IN THE MOUNTAINS INTO
A PLACE OF RECONCILIATION.
FOR FOUR WEEKS IN THE
SUMMER, SHE INVITES CROATS,
SERBS, AND MUSLIMS, TO A
CAMP LIKE NO OTHER.
SO MANY KIDS, YOUNG
PEOPLE, AND EVEN OLDER
PEOPLE WHO COME, THEY ARE SO
AMAZED BY WH WHAT THEY
SEE.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE IT
OUTSIDE THIS PLACE.
Reporter: WHAT THEY SEE
AND EXPERIENCE IS A MESSAGE
OF HOPE AND LOVE.
AND THEY ARE DRAWN TO
IT.
THEY ARE DRAWN TO THE
UNITY.
THEY ARE DRAWN TO THE PLACE
WHERE THERE IS NO PRESSURE
OF ETHNICITY.
THAT THEY CAN LIVE A LIFE IN
COMMUNITY, IN FELLOWSHIP, IN
LOVE, AND EXPERIENCE ONE
ANOTHER.
Reporter: VANIA BULE IS
AN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN.
SHE BELIEVES CHRIST IS THE
ANSWER FOR BOSNIA.
YOUR KINGDOM COME AND
YOUR WILL WILL BE DONE IN
THIS PLACE.
NOT JUST FOR ETERNITY, BUT
WE NEED JESUS TO CHANGE OUR
REALITY.
Reporter: VANIA IS FROM
CROATIA.
SHE EARNED A MASTER OF
DIVINITY FROM REGENT
UNIVERSITY IN VIRGINIA.
WHEN I CAME TO REGENT, I
CAME WITH A DEEP CONVICTION
AND A CALLING TO COME BACK
TO MY COUNTRY.
TO GET EVERYTHING I NEEDED
TO DO AND HAVE AND COME
BACK.
Reporter: NOW SHE RUNS
EMIK BARAKA THAT HELPS RUN
THE SUMMER OUC OUTREACH
PROGRAMS.
IT IS HEBREW, MEAN THE
VALLEY OF BLESSING.
TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE
COME.
YOU BLESS THEM AND IMPACT TO
THEM, AND THEN THEY GO HOME
TO THE NORTH, TO THE WEST,
TO THE EAST, AND TO THE
SOUTH.
AND THEY DRINK WHAT THEY
RECEIVE HERE.
IN BUILDING THEM, WE BUILD A
NATION.
WHEN I LEAVE HERE, I CAN
TELL OTHERS IN MY SCHOOL IT
IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE
TOGETHER.
I ATTENDED THIS CAMP FOR
THE FIRST TIME NINE YEARS
AGO, AND IT CHANGED MY
LIFE.
I SAW HOW JESUS CHRIST CAN
TRANSFORM YOUR ATTITUDE
TOWARDS OTHERS.
Reporter: YOU SEE,
SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS
CHRIST HERE IN BOSNIA IS NOT
EASY.
THIS IS, AFTER ALL, A LAND
DOMINATED BY THE CATHOLICS,
ORTHODOX, AND MUSLIMS.
AND THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH,
WELL, THEY NUMBER.
LESS THAN 700 IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
ALL OF THE LEADERS TO COME
TOGETHER IN FELLOWSHIP, AND
ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.
WE PRAY FOR REVIVAL.
WE PRAY FOR EACH OTHER.
IT IS A TIME TO RECHARGE AND
BE REFRESHED BY GOD.
Reporter: ORGANIZING
THE CAMP IS NOT WITHOUT ITS
SHARE OF CHALLENGES.
THERE IS NO HOT WATER, NO
TOILET.
THERE ARE NO BUILDINGS ON
THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT FOR
THIS BOMBED OUT SHELL OF A
STRUCTURE THAT SERVES AS A
KITCHEN TO FEED HUNDREDS.
EVERY YEAR, FIXING THAT
BOMBED-OUT KITCHEN, TRYING
TO FIX IT SO IT IS SOMEWHAT
USABLE.
Reporter: SHE HAS A
DREAM: TO ONE DAY BUILD A
REAL KITCHEN AND NEW
DORMITORIES, SO THEY CAN
HOLD ADDITIONAL CAMPS
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
FOR NOW, THOUGH, SHE
CONTINUES TO PRAY THAT THIS
VALLEY CAN BE A BLESSING TO
THE NATION.
WHEN I SEE THIS PLACE,
WHEN I SEE THE CHILDREN THAT
I SEE DIVIDED IN THE CITIES
OF BOSNIA, WHEN I COME TO
THIS PLACE AN AND WHEN I
SEE THEM PLAYING THE SAIMS
SAME GAMES, SITTING NEXT TO
EACH OTHER, WHEN I SEE THEM
WORSHIPPING THE SAME GOD,
THEN I DON'T SEE ETHNIC
GROUPS.
I SEE PEOPLE OF BOSNIA AND
HERZEGOVINA.
I SEE A FUTURE GENERATION
WHO MIGHT, JUST MIGHT HAVE A
DIFFERENT FUTURE.
Reporter: GEORGE
THOMAS, CBN NEWS, SARAJEVO,
BOSNIA.
Pat: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
PEACE, GEORGE.
POETIC, MAGNIFICENT.
THAT YOUNG LADY IS A
GRADUATE OF REGENT.
SHE HAS A DREAM AND A VISION
TO BRING RECONCILIATION TO
THE PEOPLE.
Terry: IT IS SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY.
Pat: I HAVE NOT BEEN ON
THE AIDRIATIC COAST.
Terry: IT IS
BEAUTIFUL.
Pat: TO THINK OF ALL OF
THE KILLING AND HATRED THAT
IS OVER THERE -- BUT,
ANYHOW, BLESS HER.
LET'S HOPE SHE WILL
PROSPER.
Terry: FANS OF THE
MOVIE KNOW THAT RUDY
ACHIEVED HIS DREAMS AND
PLAYED FOOTBALL FOR THE
IRISH.
BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO RUDY
AFTER THAT?
WELL, HE IS HERE TO TELL
US.
SO DON'T GO AWAY.
Terry: EVEN IF YOU'RE
THE LEAST ATHLETIC PERSON ON
THE PLANET, YOU'VE PROBABLY
ONLY PLAYED 27 FEWER SECONDS
OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL THAN
DANIEL RITIKER.
WHILE THOSE 27 SECONDS DO
NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH, IT IS
WHAT DEFINES RUDY'S LIFE AND
SERVES AS AN INSPIRATION TO
LITERALLY MILLIONS OF
OTHERS.
Reporter: THE
BLOCKBUSTER FILM, "RUDY" HAS
INSPIRED MILLIONS.
IT IS THE REAL LIFE STORY OF
RUDY RUDIKER, A LOWER MIDDLE
CLASS KID WITH A LEARNING
DISABILITY, WHO GOT ACCEPTED
TO NOTREDAM AND THEN MADE
THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
IT WAS HIS SENIOR YEAR, IN
HIS FINAL HOME GAME WITH THE
FIGHTING IRISH.
ARE YOU READY, CHAMP?
I'VE BEEN READY FOR THIS
MY WHOLE LIFE.
Reporter: WITH ONLY 27
SECONDS LEFT, RUDY WALKED ON
TO THE FIELD.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
Reporter: THOSE 27
SECONDS BECAME HIS LIFE'S
MESSAGE, WHICH HE SHARES IN
HIS BOOK, "RUDY, MY STORY."
Terry: PLEASE WELCOME
TO "THE 700 CLUB," THE REAL
RUDY.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HERE.
IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU.
Terry: YOU SAID THEY
HAD ONLY SIX MINUTES TO
FILM --
TO FILM THE FINAL SCENE.
IN FRONT OF 60,000 PEOPLE.
AND ALL OF THE PREPARATION
IT TOOK TO DO THOSE SIX
MINUTES IS UNBELIEVABLE.
Terry: AND IT
HAPPENED?
AND IT HAPPENED.
THERE IS A STORY BEHIND THE
STORY: ALL OF THE
COMMUNICATION GEAR WENT DOWN
BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY WENT ON
TO THE FIELD.
SO THEY WENT OUT THERE AND
STARTED SHOOTING, AND THEY
CAUGHT THE MAGIC.
THEY WERE ALL WORRIED THEY
WEREN'T GOING TO CATCH THE
MAGIC IN THE FINAL MOMENT.
IF YOU WATCH THE END OF THE
MOVIE, WHEN THE KIDS PICK UP
SEAN MADISON, THEY TOUCHDOWN
AND THAT'S THE WHOLE STORY.
Terry: IT IS AN AMAZING
STORY.
LET'S BACK UP A LITTLE BIT.
YOU THOUGHT OF NOTREDAM AS
SORT OF THIS FAR-OFF DREAM,
ALMOST LIKE HEAVEN ITSELF.
WHAT MADE YOU SO PASSIONATE
ABOUT GOING THERE?
IT IS AN UNDERDOG STORY,
I THINK.
NOTREDAM CONNECTED TO THE
REAL POWER.
WE GREW UP AS A REAL
STRUCTURED CATHOLIC.
YOU GO TO NOTRE-DAME AND
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAVEN.
WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.
IT BECAME A WORTHWHILE DREAM
ONCE YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT
FOLLOWED.
WHEN YOFIRST YOU FLIRT WITH
GOD AND YOU FLIRT WITH YOUR
FAITH.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN
SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT IS
BAD, THAT'S WHEN YOU REACH
FOR YOUR FAITH.
AND YOU REALIZE LIFE IS
SHORT.
AND IT'S THE REAL DEAL, YOUR
FAITH, AND NOT ALL OF THESE
THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
Terry: AND, RUDY, THAT
HAPPENED AS YOU WATCH THIS
MOVIE.
IS THAT REALLY TRUE TO LIFE,
THE WAY IT WAS PORTRAYED IN
THE MOVIE?
THAT'S WHY I WROTE THE
BOOK, "RUDY, MY STORY,"
BECAUSE THE STORY IS SO LONG
AND COMPLICATED.
AND WE COULDN'T SHOW THE
NAVY.
BECAUSE THE NAVY PLAYED AN
IMPORTANT PART.
IT WAS HERE IN NORFOLK, WHEN
THEY DECOMMISSIONED
GUANTANAMO BAY.
WHEN YOU GOT OUT OF
BOOTCAMP, YOU BECAME A REAL
MAN AND YOU HAD CONFIDENCE
IN YOURSELF.
WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY
FOCUSED ON THE LITTLE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN DO, NOT THE
THINGS YOU COULDN'T.
THAT WAS A BIG DIFFERENCE.
SCHOOL, THEY ALWAYS FOCUSED
ON WHAT YOU COULDN'T DO.
NOW IT FLIP-FLOPS AND IT IS
ON WHAT YOU CAN CAN DO.
SO THE CONFIDENCE COMES AND
THE DREAMS COME AND
EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER.
Terry: BUT YOUR
TENACITY CAME IN THE FACE OF
THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WHERE
THEY KEPT TELLING YOU WHAT
YOU COULDN'T DO.
HOW DO YO -- DID YOU KEEP
ON KEEPING ON WITH THAT?
YOU WATCH ALL OF THE
GREAT STORIES.
YOU SEE HOW YOU BELIEVE IN
SOMETHING.
YOU DON'T TURN BACK.
YOU FIGHT NOT TO GO BACK.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GO BACK
TO WHERE YOU WERE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I FOUGHT
FOR.
NOT THAT IT WAS A BAD LIFE,
BUT I WANTED TO HAVE MORE
AND MY LIFE.
AND THE DREAMS ARE BIG.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO DREAM
BIG.
AND THEY'RE REAL IF YOU
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE LITTLE
STEPS ARE IMPORTANT AND THE
LITTLE THINGS ARE
IMPORTANT.
Terry: BUT THAT VOICE
THAT KEPT TELLING YOU IT WAS
WORTH HANGING ON TO YOU WAS
INSIDE OF YOU.
PEOPLE AROUND YOU SAID YOU
WERE CRAZY.
THEY SAID YOU COULDN'T DO
IT.
THEY SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE
WHAT IT TOOK.
EVEN PEOPLE IN YOUR
FAMILY --
THEY WERE MORE SUPPORTIVE
AND PROTECTIVE, THE FAMILY.
THERE WERE JUST A COUPLE OF
ANTAGONISTS.
SO YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND
BOTH SIDES.
YOU'VE GOT TO BALANCE THAT.
SO IN ORDER TO HELP YOUR
FAMILY, YOU'VE GOT TO STEP
OUT OF THE BOX AND SHOW
THEM, HEY, DON'T PAY
ATTENTION TO THAT.
MOVE FORWARD.
Terry: YOU SPENT A LOT
OF TIME AT NOTREDAM AND THE
GROTTO, PRAYING AND LIGHTING
CANDLES.
WHAT DID YOU ASK GOD FOR?
JUST CLEANSING OF GOOFY
THOUGHTS.
EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU THINK
YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD AND
YOU GET THIS GOOFY THOUGHT
THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT.
YOU'VE GOT TO ELIMINATE
THOSE THOUGHTS.
THAT'S WHEN THE SPIRITUAL
CLEANSING COMES FROM.
WHEN I STEPPED ON THAT
CAMPUS, IT WAS ABOUT
FOOTBALL.
IT BECAME ABOUT LIVING RIGHT
AND GRATITUDE AND PRECIOUS
AND LOVE.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL
ABOUT.
Terry: YOU SPENT A LOT
OF TIME JUST BEING HAPPY YOU
WERE AT NOTREDAM, BUT THEN
THE THING OF THE FOOTBALL
WAS LIKE ANOTHER WHOLE
ELEMENT.
DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GOING
TO GET IN THAT FINAL GAME?
WELL, WE ALWAYS HAVE THAT
WANT TO, BUT THERE WAS A LOT
OF DOUBT.
BUT HERE IS THE KEY: BECAUSE
THINGS AREN'T GOING TO GO
YOUR WAY, YOU ARE GOING TO
GET KNOCKED DOWN, AND YOU
NEED TO GET UP AND KEEP
MOVING FORWARD.
AND YOU NEED PEOPLE AROUND
YOU TO REMIND YOU OF THAT.
I CALL THEM CONNECTORS.
I HAD THE JANITOR AT
NOTREDAM.
HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY
LIFE.
HE DIDN'T SAY MUCH.
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE
THAT HELPED ME.
WE DID THAT COMPOSITE IN THE
MOVIE TO MAKE THE JANITOR
REPRESENT THOSE TYPE OF
PEOPLE.
Terry: THERE WERE SO
MANY PEOPLE INSPIRED BY THE
MOVIE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
KNOW?
I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THE
WALL.
AND YOU NEED TO GET UP.
AND YOU NEED TO MOVE
FORWARD.
AND DON'T LIVE IN THE PAST
AND PLEASE DON'T LIVE IN
WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
LIVE IN THE PRESENT AND SAY
THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED, AND
THE LESSONS YOU'RE GOING TO
LEARN AND MOVE ON.
GOD IS AN UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE.
ONCE YOU KNOW THAT, YOU CAN
CAN MAKE UP FOR THE MISTAKES
WE MAKE OR THE MAD JUDGMENTS
WE MAKE.
AND THAT'S WHERE IT IS
WONDERFUL.
Terry: IN A WAY, ONCE
YOU KNOW THAT, IT DOESN'T
MATTER IF YOU GET IN THE
LAST GAME OR NOT?
IT DIDN'T MATTER.
BUT PREPARATION WAS THE
KEY.
IF I DIDN'T PREPARE FOR THAT
MOMENT -- I WAS HAPPY JUST
GOING OUT TO THE TEAM.
AND THEN ALL OF THE GIFTS
ARE GIVEN TO YOU, AND THAT'S
WHEN YOU MOVE FORWARD.
LIKE NOTREDAM, WHEN I THINK
I COULDN'T EVER GO THERE.
WHEN MY FRIEND DIED, I PUT
MY ARMS UP AND SAID, LORD,
I'M YOURS, AND THAT'S WHEN
ALL OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
HAPPENED AND I GAVE MYSELF
UP.
HERE IS THE KEY: THE COURAGE
IT TAKES FROM THE BELIEF.
DON'T ASK PERMISSION TO GO.
JUST GO.
THESE LITTLE DOORS, IF
YOU'RE OPEN TO THEM, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZE THEM AND EMBRACE
THEM.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WANT TO
HELP YOU SUCCEED.
THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO
LOSE.
THEY WANT YOU TO WIN.
THEY'RE ALWAYS EMBRACING
YOUR SPIRIT.
THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A GOOD ATTITUDE.
HAVE A GOOD ATTITUDE AND
YOU'LL ATTRACT GOOD PEOPLE
THAT WILL HELP YOU.
Terry: KEEP PUSHING.
YES.
Terry: WELL, "RUDY, MY
STORY," IT IS A STORY ABOUT
HIS WHOLE LIFE.
IN A FILM, YOU DON'T GET TO
TELL IT ALL.
THE BOOK TELLS IT MORE.

Pat: OVER AND OVER
AGAIN ON THIS PROGRAM, I'VE
WARNED YOU ABOUT THE
INCREDIBLE, EXPLOSIVE
EFFECTS OF JUST ONE VIEW OF
PORNOGRAPHY UPON THE MIND OF
A YOUNG BOY.
AND FROM THE FIRST MOMENT HE
LAID EYES ON IT, JONATHAN
DAUGHTERY WAS HOOKED, EVEN
BEFORE HE KNEW WHAT SEX
WAS.
HE KNEW HE WANTED IT.
AND OVER THE YEARS, JONATHAN
PURSUED HIS LUSTS, SANK
FURTHER INTO THEM.
EVEN AS THE REST OF HIS
WORLD WAS CRUMBLING AROUND
HIM.
Reporter: IT WAS A HOT,
SUMMER DAY, AND 12-YEAR-OLD
JONATHAN DAUGHTERY WAS
PLAYING OUTSIDE WITH A
FRIEND.
THE BOY WANTED TO SHOW HIM A
SECRET.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,
IN MY 12-YEAR-OLD MIND, I
WAS THINKING WE'RE GOING TO
SEE SOMETHING DEAD.
BUT WHEN WE GOT OUT IN HIS
FIELD, THERE WAS THIS TREE
STUMP.
HE REACHED HIS ARM DOWN INTO
THIS HALLOWED OUT PORTION.
I'M STILL THINKING, HE IS
GRABBING THE RACCOON OR
WHATEVER, AND HE PULLED OUT
THIS ROLLED UP MAGAZINE AND
HE OPENED IT UP.
AND EVERYTHING CHANGED.
IT WAS PORN.
I HAD NEVER SEEN
PORNOGRAPHY.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHY THERE WERE
PICTURES OF NAKED PEOPLE AND
WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
Reporter: PORNOGRAPHY
BECAME JONATHAN'S SECRET,
TOO.
AT FIRST HE WAS CONFUSED BY
WHAT HE FELT.
BUT HIS AWAKENED APPETITE
WANTED TO BE SATISFIED.
IT WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATE I
STARTED SEARCHING FOR MOR
MATERIAL.
JUST SHEAR CURIOSITY.
I STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SEX
WAS.
I JUST KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING THAT REACTED IN MY
WHEN I INITIALLY SAW THAT
PORN.
Reporter: HE
IMMEDIATELY SEARCHED FOR
MAGAZINES AND IMAGES TO FEED
HIS CRAVING.
I WAS DEVELOPING THIS
SECRET ADDICTION.
IT WAS LEARNING TO HAVE A
FANTASY LIFE THAT PLACED ME
IN THE CENTER AND HAVE
EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE
RESOLVE AROUND ME.
ALL OF THESE WOMEN ARE DOING
WHATEVER I WANTED THEM TO
DO.
Reporter: DESPITE
FUELING HIS FANTASIES
THROUGH PORN AND PROM
PROMISCUITY.
HE SUFFERED WITH SHAME AND
SELF-WORTH.
ESPECIALLY A KID LIKE ME
WHO GREW UP IN IN THE
CHURCH.
IT IS LIKE MY LUST WOULD
TAKE MY ON A DETOUR.
IF YOU FAILED FOR YEARS AND
YEARS AND YEARS IN MANAGING
YOUR SEXUALITY, IT IS NOT A
LONG TRIP TO THINK YOU'RE A
DESPICABLE, HORRIBLE PERSON,
AND YOU HAVE NO VALUE.
Reporter: JONATHAN MET
ELAINE WHILE ATTENDING
COLLEGE.
THEY BEGAN DATING AND
EVENTUALLY MARRIED.
I SAW THIS AUTHENTIC
PERSON.
I WANTED MORE OF HER IN MY
LIFE.
I THOUGHT, THIS IS A GOOD
THING.
TO HAVE SOMEONE WITH THAT
MUCH FAITH.
MARRIAGE CURED ME FOR ABOUT
FIVE WEEKS.
BUT IT REALLY WASN'T UNTIL I
WAS MARRIED AND HAD THIS
OTHER PERSON WHO SORT OF
ACTED AS A MIRROR TO ME THAT
I SAW JUST THE DEPTH TO
WHICH I WAS REALLY TRAPPED
IN THIS.
Reporter: ON-LINE PORNO
LONGER SATISFIED JONATHAN.
HE WANTED MORE.
HE DISCOVERED CYBER-SEX AND
SPENT HIS LATE NIGHT IN
CHATROOMS WERE WOMEN WHO
GAME ON-LINE SEXUAL
PARTNERS.
I SAW HIM WITHDRAW.
HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON
THE COMPUTER.
ANY TIME WE WERE TOGETHER,
HE WOULD BE SAYING THINGS
LIKE, HE MARRIED THE WRONG
PERSON, AND HURTFUL THINGS
LIKE THAT.
I WOULD SPEND MY TIME
THINKING ABOUT, WAS I SO BAD
TO LIVE WITH.
I STARTED TO CATCH HIM IN
LIES.
I DID FIND WEBSITES, AND I
DID FIND GIRLS' PHONE
NUMBERS, BUT I WAS
UNPREPARED FOR THE TRUTH.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW FURIOUS
THINGS WERE, EVEN THOUGH RED
FLAGS WERE BLOWING.
ANY HAD GONE BEYOND
PORNOGRAPHY.
I STARTED TO HAVE AFFAIRS I
WOULD SET UP ON LINE.
ONE DAY I WAS IN A CHATROOM,
AND A WOMAN PUT TWO LITTLE
WORDS ON THE SCREEN: "WANT
TO ME?"
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME IN
MY MARRIAGE I WAS CHALLENGED
TO CROSS THE LINE, OUT OF
THE REALM OF FANTASY, INTO
THE REALM OF REALLY ACTING
OUT.
I SAID YES AND WENT AND HAD
SEX WITH THE WOMAN.
MY DOWNWARD SPIRAL WAS FAST
AND FURIOUS.
Reporter: AND SO WAS
HIS GUILT.
HE CONFESSED TO ELAINE WHAT
HE HAD DONE.
I TOLD HER EVERYTHING.
I TOLD HER ABOUT THE
PROSTITUTES, I TOLD HER
ABOUT THE INTERNET, ALL OF
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
I WAS JUST LIKE A PEDAL
ON THE FLOOR.
I THOUGHT THE SUN WOULD NOT
COME UP.
I THOUGHT IT I WOULD DIE
BECAUSE IT HURT SO FAST.
Reporter: ALTHOUGH
JONATHAN CONFESSED
EVERYTHING TO ELAINE, HE WAS
NOT READY TO GIVE UP HIS
PROFESSION.
IN LESS THAN A WEEK, I
WAS IN BED WITH ANOTHER
WOMAN.
I KNEW WHERE HE HAD GONE
SO I PACKED UP MY BAGS AND
LEFT.
I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER EVER
WANTED TO TALK TO HIM
AGAIN.
I NEVER WANTED TO SEE HIM
AGAIN.
I DROVE TO MY PARENTS AND I
CRIED THE WHOLE WAY.
I JUST FELT VERY BROKEN.
WHEN I WALKED IN AND SHUT
THE DOOR, THE ONLY WAY I
COULD DESCRIBE IT WAS
DEAFENING SILENCE.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE
CATALYST THAT GOD USED SHAKE
ME ENOUGH TO KIND OF BRING
ME TO MY SENSES TO WHERE I
STARTED REALIZING I HAVE
DESTROYED MY LIFE AND THE
LIFE OF ANOTHER PERSON.
IF I DON'T GET HELP NOW, I
WILL END UP TAKING MY LIFE.
I JUST STARTED SOBBING.
I FELT AS IF JESUS HIMSELF
CAME RIGHT UP NEXT TO ME ON
THE FLOOR AND JUST PUT HIS
ARM AROUND ME AND SAID, YOU
KNOW WHAT?
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
I CARE ABOUT YOU.
I KNEW THIS WAS COMING.
BUT THIS IS RIGHT WHERE I
WANT YOU TO BE.
AND IT WAS LIKE THE FIRST
MOMENT IN MY LIFE WHERE IT
FELT LIKE, WOW, THAT'S WHAT
GRACE IS.
THAT'S THE GOD WHO LOVES
ME.
THAT'S THE GOD WHO KNOWS
EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN IN MY LIFE BEFORE IT
HAPPENS AND STILL SAYS, I'M
GOING TO WALK WITH YOU EVERY
STEP OF THE WAY.
Reporter: JONATHAN
SOUGHT ELAINE'S
FORGIVENESS.
HE WENT INTO COUNSELLING AND
JOINED ACCOUNTABILITY
GROUPS.
ELAINE SAW HONESTY IN
JONATHAN'S CHANGE.
GOD STARTED TO WORK ON MY
RELATIONSHIP.
HE SAID, REMEMBER ME.
LOOK HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN
UNFAITHFUL TO ME AND I'VE
FORGIVEN YOU.
Reporter: ELAINE
FORGAVE JONATHAN.
GOD DOESN'T GIVE UP ON A
MARRIAGE.
WHEN WE FIRST GOT TOGETHER,
I CAUGHT HIM BEING RIGHT, I
CAUGHT HIM BEING PURE.
I CAUGHT HIM DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
THAT WENT A LONG WAY FOR
BUILDING TRUST.
I BELIEVE GOD UNLEASHES
HIS POWER WITH SOMEONE
STRUGGLING WITH SEXUAL
PROBLEMS.
YOU HAVE TRULY SHOWN ME
FORGIVENESS.
YOU HAVE NEVER, EVER BROUGHT
UP MY PAST SINCE WE'VE
GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER.
I THINK THAT IS A TESTAMENT
OF YOUR FAITH AND GOD'S
GRACE IN OUR LIVES.
Reporter: JONATHAN AND
ELAINE RENEWED THEIR VOWS IN
FRONT OF FAMILY.
THEY BECAME PARENTS TO THREE
CHILDREN.
AND THE DAUGHTERYS NOW HAVE
A MINISTRY HELPING MEN
OVERCOME SEXUAL ADDICTION.
IT IS GOD'S STORY OF
REDEMPTION.
AND SEE THAT HE WANTS TO
TAKE OUR BROKENNESS, MY
BROKENNESS, AND WE CAN HELP
OTHERS.
JUST HAVING MY WIFE BACK IN
MY LIFE IS WAY BEYOND ANY
EXPECTATION I COULD EVER
HAVE.
HAVE.
Pat: YOU KNOW, YOU AND
I ARE PART OF A FALLEN
RACE.
WE ARE CONCEIVED IN SIN, THE
BIBLE SAYS.
AND THE VERY BEGINNING LIFE
THERE IS SIN.
ALL OF US, MALE, FEMALE,
EVERYONE.
AND IT TAKES A RADICAL
TRANSFORMATION TO CHANGE
US.
THE PROBLEM WITH SOME ARE
MORE WEAK THAN OTHERS.
SOME ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
THAN OTHERS.
AND WHAT'S INSIDE OF US IS
MORE SUBJECT TO BEING
MANIPULATED BY FORCES
OUTSIDE OF US.
THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND
THE DEVIL.
SO WE'RE IN A CULTURE RIGHT
NOW THAT IS SATURATED WITH
SEX.
SATURATED WITH SEX.
AND IT IS SO AVAILABLE.
IT USED TO BE THAT
SOMEBODY -- IN ORDER TO
ENGAGE IN THAT KIND OF
CONDUCT LIKE JONATHAN, THEY
HAD TO GO TO SOME PEEP SHOW
OR SOME BURLESQUE THOUSANDS,
BUT RIGHT NOW ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS SIT IN YOUR OFFICE
AND PUNCH A KEY, AND THERE
IT ALL IS.
IN MORE GRAPHIC DETAILS THAN
ANYBODY CAN CONCEIVE OF.
AND IT'S SO EASY BECAUSE WE
ARE SINNERS.
AND, YOU SEE, GOD KNOWS
WE'RE SINNERS AND HE KNOWS
WHAT WE'RE MADE OUT OF.
HE KNOWS WE ARE WEAK, AND HE
KNOWS WE ARE FLESH.
THE THING ABOUT JONATHAN IS
LIKE JESUS SAT BESIDE HIM
AND PUT HIS ARM AROUND HIM
AND SAID I LOVE YOU.
AND OUT OF THAT HAS COME A
MAN WHO IS GOING TO SERVE
GOD AND SERVE OTHERS.
NOW, WHAT IS YOUR
ADDICTION?
IS IT SEX?
IS IT THE PORNOGRAPHY THING
THAT HAS HOOKED YOU?
DO YOU WANT TO GET FREE?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GET
FREE?
I WAS PRAYING WITH AN
ALCOHOLIC ONCE.
AND HE CALLED ME PATTY,
BECAUSE HE IS IRISH.
I SAID, OKAY, LET'S PRAY.
AND I SAID JESUS.
AND HE SAID JESUS.
AND I SAID I FORSAKE THIS
JESUS.
AND I SAID I'LL NEVER TOUCH
A DROP OF LIQUOR AS LONG AS
I LIVE.
AND HE STOPPED AND HE SAID,
PATTY, I DON'T WANT TO GO
THAT FAR.
WELL, DO YOU WANT TO GO THAT
FAR?
YOU'VE GOT TO SAY NO.
AND YOU'VE GOT TO SAY I'M
GOING TO BE TRUE TO MY
WIFE.
I'M GOING TO BE TRUE TO MY
HUSBAND.
AND I'M GOING TO EXCEPT THE
FORGIVENESS THAT GOD GIVES
ME.
AND RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO
PRAY WITH YOU.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO PRAY
WITH ME.
LET THE PEACE WASH OVER YOU
AND CLEANSE YOU.
RECEIVE HIS LOVE RIGHT NOW.
PRAY THESE WORDS WITH ME.
JESUS -- PRAY WITH ME.
JESUS, YOU KNOW I'M A
SINNER, YOU KNOW HOW WEAK I
AM.
YOU KNOW ALL OF MY
PROBLEMS.
SO I BRING THEM TO YOU.
AND I COME TO YOU, LORD, AND
I SAY, PLEASE CLEANSE ME AND
FORGIVE ME.
TAKE AWAY THE TENDENCIES
THAT HAVE BEEN RUINING MY
LIFE.
I TURN AWAY FROM THEM.
I REBUKE A SPIRIT OF LUSTER
THAT HAS BOUND ME.
I COMMAND IT TO LEAVE ME.
AND, JESUS, I TAKE YOUR
FORGIVENESS.
FILL ME WITH YOURSELF, LORD,
AND DRIVE OUT EVERYTHING
WHICH IS NOT OF GOD.
IN JESUS' NAME, FROM THIS
MOMENT ON, I'M YOURS.
THANK YOU, LORD.
THANK YOU.
NOW, IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,
I WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING.
I'VE GOT A LITTLE THING
THAT'S CALLED "TRAPPED IN
TEMPTATION."
IT WILL BE A GOOD HELP FOR
YOU.
IT WILL GIVE YOU NOT ONLY
SOME SCRIPTURES TO GET OUT
OF IT, BUT IT WILL TELL YOU
ABOUT SOME PRACTICAL
SOLUTIONS.
"TRAPPED I IN TEMPTATION."
IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO IS TRAPPED,
PLEASE GO TO YOUR TELEPHONE
AND SAY I PRAYED WITH PAT
AND I GAVE MY HEART TO THE
LORD.
CONFESS WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
1-800-759-0700.
PLEASE REMEMBER, GOD KNOWS
YOU, GOD LOVES YOU, GOD
FORGIVES YOU, AND GOD WANTS
TO REDEEM YOU.
TERRY?
Terry: WELL, STILL TO
COME, WE'VE GOT YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS FROM OUR IN-BOX.
MICHAELS "MY WIFE DOESN'T
HAVE RESPECT FOR ME.
SHE INSULTS ME AND RECENTLY
SHE EVEN TRIED TO HIT ME.
I'M LOSING MY OWN'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION
AND MORE WHEN WE COME BACK.
Terry: WE HAVE A FEW
MINUTES TO ANSWER SOME OF
YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
PAT THIS FIRST ONE COMES
FROM MICHAEL WHO SAYS, MY
WIFE HAS BECOME A REAL
PROBLEM.
SHE HAS NO RESPECT FOR ME AS
THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE.
SHE INSULTS ME, AND SHE EVEN
WENT AS FAR AS STRETCHING
HER HAND TO BEAT ME.
I HAVE LOST MY
SELF-CONFIDENCE.
HER.
Terry: WELL, IN LIEU OF
THAT?
WITH THAT.
Terry: WHY WOULD SHE
NOT WANT TO TALK THROUGH
THEIR PROBLEMS.
Pat: SHE IS JUST
TOTALLY -- WELL, SHE'S
REBELLIOUS.
THE CHANCE ARE SHE WAS
REBELLIOUS WITH HER FATHER
AND MOTHER.
SHE IS A REBELLIOUS CHILD
AND SHE DOESN'T WANT TO
SUBMIT TO ANY AUTHORITY.
SHE PROBABLY HAD TEMPER
TANTRUMS WHEN SHE WAS A
KID.
YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE
GIRL, "I HATE YOU, I HATE
YOU," WELL, THAT'S THE SAME
KIND OF THING.
SHE'S TRANSFERRED THE FATHER
NOW.
SHE MIGHT -- I HATE TO SAY
EVERYTHING HAS GOT TO BE
SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL
COUNSELLING --
Terry: WELL, NO, BUT I
THINK YOU NEED A THIRD PARTY
HERE.
Pat: DEFINITELY.
BUT THAT'S THE PROBLEM, SHE
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
AUTHORITY.
WHEN SHE WAS GROWING UP,
NOBODY MADE HER BEHAVE.
AND NOW YOU'VE GOT A
13-YEAR-OLD IN A 30-YEAR-OLD
WOMAN'S BODY.
AND SHE IS ACTING LIKE A
CHILD.
NOW, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH
THAT?
OKAY?
THIS IS ROBIN WHO SAYS, "I
HAVE FORGIVEN MY RECENT
EX-HUSBAND BUT STILL LOVE
HIM VERY MUCH.
HE RECENTLY TOLD ME HE MADE
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS
LIFE BY DIVORCING ME.
HE SERVED IN AFGHANISTAN AND
BLAMES A LOT OF WHY WE
DIVORCED ON THE THINGS HE
SAW WHILE DEPLOYED.
IT MADE HIM A DIFFE A
DIFFERENT MAN.
HE WAS ONCE A GOD-LOVING MAN
BUT HE LOST HIS WAY WITH THE
LORD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO TO LISTEN
TO."
Pat: LISTEN TO GOD AND
GET BACK WITH THE MAN.
HE WANTS TO LOVE YOU, AND
YOU WANT TO LOVE HIM.
THE FACT HE HAD A HIDEOUS
WAR AND HAS HAD ALL KINDS OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS --
WORK THROUGH THEM.
IT IS LIKE HE WAS INJURED,
LIKE HE HAD HIS LEG BLOWN
OFF.
LOVE HIM AND WORK WITH HIM.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE
PARENTS SAY OR THE FAMILY
SAYS.
WHAT MATTERS IS YOU AND THAT
HUSBAND.
YOU EMBRACE HIM, YOU LOVE
HIM, AND YOU CARE FOR HIM
AND RECOGNIZE THE FACT HE IS
GOING TO HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL
PROBLEMS AND HE CAN WORK
THROUGH IT.
Terry: ANNIE SAYS,
"PAT, HOW OFTEN DOES GOD
SPEAK TO YOU AND WHAT DOES
HIS VOICE SOUND LIKE?"
Pat: IT'S THE INNER
VOICE, AND SOMETIMES WHEN
YOU SPEND MORE AND MORE TIME
WITH THE LORD, HE SPEAKS TO
YOU MORE AND MORE.
BUT HE SPEAKS OUT OF THE
WORD.
HE SPEAKS OUT OF THE ADVICE
OF FRIENDS.
BUT IT IS THE STILL, SMALL
VOICE IN YOUR INNER BEING.
Terry: BUT IT IS ALWAYS
DIFFERENT THAN YOUR OWN
VOICE, ISN'T IT?
Pat: YES.
THE BIBLE SAYS, BY REASON
YOU BEGUN TO DISCERN GOOD
FROM EVIL.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE
FOR THIS PROGRAM.
TOMORROW, REMEMBER 9/11, AND
HEAR FROM A SURVIVOR WHO WAS
IN THE PENTAGON WHEN I WAS
HIT BY FLIGHT 77.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM 1 JOHN "BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE
ANOTHER FOR LOVE IS FROM
GOD."
