- MATT CROUCH: TONIGHT WE'RE RIGHT HERE IN
00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:27.220
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.010
THIS IS TECHNICALLY THE PASSION PRAISE.
00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:32.230
LOUIE GIGLIO ALL NIGHT.
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.160
WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT?
00:00:34.180 --> 00:00:35.210
- LOUIE GIGLIO: TONIGHT WE'RE TALKING
00:00:35.230 --> 00:00:36.270
ABOUT FATHERS.
00:00:36.290 --> 00:00:38.070
AND YOU KNOW, INTERESTINGLY EVEN JUST
00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:39.200
SAYING THAT WORD EVERYONE THAT'S LISTENING TO US
00:00:39.220 --> 00:00:41.080
RIGHT NOW HAS AN EMOTION, HAS A REACTION TO THE
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:42.200
WORD FATHER.
00:00:42.220 --> 00:00:44.220
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ULTIMATELY ABOUT THE
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.210
HEAVENLY FATHER BECAUSE THERE IS A PERFECT
00:00:46.230 --> 00:00:50.210
HEAVENLY FATHER WAITING FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
00:00:50.230 --> 00:00:54.090
BUT WE'RE JUST GOING TO START BY TALKING ABOUT
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:55.220
OUR EARTHLY DAD, AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT OUR
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.020
EARTHLY DADS, SOME PEOPLE HAVE A POSITIVE REACTION
00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:00.090
TO THAT AND OTHERS IT'S LIKE UM, I'M NOT SURE IF
00:01:00.110 --> 00:01:02.260
I WANT TO GO THERE.
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.190
AND THAT'S BECAUSE ALL OF US HAVE ONE THING IN
00:01:04.210 --> 00:01:07.020
COMMON, AND THAT IS WE ALL LONG FOR OUR FATHER'S
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.200
BLESSING IN OUR LIVES.
00:01:09.220 --> 00:01:12.140
YOU SEE IT WHEN WE'RE LITTLE.
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:13.270
I MEAN, IT'S WOVEN INTO US AT BIRTH.
00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:15.180
MOM IS A HERO.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:16.240
MOM, WE LOVE YOU.
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.010
MOM GOT US TO THE POOL.
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:19.130
SHE PACKED THE FLOATIES.
00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:20.210
SHE PACKED THE SNACKS.
00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:22.000
SHE DROVE THE CAR.
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:23.090
SHE WASHED THE BATHING SUITS, BUT WHEN DAD
00:01:23.110 --> 00:01:24.250
SHOWED UP AT THE POOL, EVERYTHING CHANGED.
00:01:24.270 --> 00:01:26.190
AND WHAT DO THE KIDS DO?
00:01:26.210 --> 00:01:28.210
DADDY!
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:30.120
DADDY, WATCH ME!
00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:32.110
DADDY, WATCH ME I'M GOING TO DO MY DIVE.
00:01:32.130 --> 00:01:34.010
I'M GOING TO DO MY JUMP.
00:01:34.030 --> 00:01:35.100
I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST WHATEVER.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.170
THE KID JUMPS OFF THE SIDE.
00:01:37.190 --> 00:01:38.230
HE'S IN THE WATER.
00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:40.130
DOESN'T CARE IF HE DROWNS OR NOT.
00:01:40.150 --> 00:01:41.280
JUST WANTS TO KNOW WHEN HE COMES OUT, DID YOU SEE IT?
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.030
- WOW.
00:01:45.050 --> 00:01:46.080
- DAD, DID YOU SEE ME?
00:01:46.110 --> 00:01:47.180
WHAT IS THAT?
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.290
THAT IS THE INTERWOVEN LONGING THAT EVERY SINGLE
00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:54.080
ONE OF US HAS IN OUR LIVES, THAT WE WANT TO
00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:56.280
KNOW THAT OUR DADS LOVE US, THAT THEY ACCEPT US,
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.240
THAT THEY BELIEVE IN US, AND THAT THEY WANT TO BE
00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:03.270
INVOLVED IN OUR LIVES.
00:02:03.290 --> 00:02:06.150
AND IF YOU HAD THAT BLESSING, THEN YOU GOT A
00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:09.050
FOUNDATION STONE SET IN YOUR LIFE.
00:02:09.070 --> 00:02:12.070
AND YOU CAN STAND ON THAT STONE AND MOVE FORWARD TO
00:02:12.090 --> 00:02:15.020
BECOME THE MAN OR THE WOMAN GOD DESIGNED YOU TO BE.
00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:18.290
IF YOU DIDN'T GET THAT BLESSING, THERE IS A GAP.
00:02:19.010 --> 00:02:20.200
AND IN THE BOOK I MENTION AN INTERESTING ARTICLE IN
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:26.200
PSYCHOLOGY TODAY.
00:02:26.220 --> 00:02:28.180
A WOMAN STUDIED 75 HIGH ACHIEVING WOMEN.
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.130
THESE WOMEN ARE KILLING IT IN OUR CAREERS
00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:33.160
AND FAMILIES.
00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.080
THEY ARE IN THE ZONE, AND SHE SAID, I WAS SURPRISED
00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:38.100
TO DISCOVER THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM, NOT 74 OF
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.140
THEM, ALL 75 OF THESE WOMEN WERE VIEWING THEIR
00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:46.120
SUCCESS THROUGH THE LENS OF WHAT DOES MY
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:49.220
FATHER THINK.
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.050
- OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:02:51.070 --> 00:02:52.220
- SEE, THIS DOESN'T GO AWAY IN LIFE.
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.160
SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO TONIGHT IS WE WANT TO
00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.160
THANK GOD FOR THE BLESSING IF WE HAD IT.
00:02:56.180 --> 00:02:58.150
BUT WE ALSO WANT TO CATAPULT FROM THAT EVEN
00:02:58.170 --> 00:03:01.030
INTO AN BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH A
00:03:01.050 --> 00:03:02.210
PERFECT FATHER, AND WE WANT TO STARE AT THE GAP
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:05.110
AND FACE IT.
00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:07.030
AND LET GOD STAND IN THAT GOSPEL WITH US AND SHOW
00:03:07.050 --> 00:03:09.250
US THAT THERE IS A WAY FORWARD IN OUR LIVES.
00:03:09.270 --> 00:03:13.180
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WATCHING US TONIGHT,
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.040
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WATCHING THIS SHOW RIGHT
00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:19.160
NOW CAN LIVE WITH A PERFECT FATHER'S BLESSING
00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:21.260
IN YOUR LIFE.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.180
EVERY ONE OF US CAN LIVE AS A LOVED SON OR A LOVED
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.150
DAUGHTER OF A PERFECT HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:03:26.170 --> 00:03:29.040
- WOO.
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:31.210
OKAY SO HEAVY SUBJECT.
00:03:31.230 --> 00:03:33.280
- LAURIE CROUCH: YEAH.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.200
I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS AN AMAZING
00:03:35.220 --> 00:03:38.010
MINISTER, AND SHE WAS LEFT ABANDONED IN A
00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:42.090
HOSPITAL, NEVER HAD A FATHER IN HER LIFE, BUT
00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:45.280
SHE KNOWS THAT I HAD A GREAT DAD, AND SHE'LL
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.050
COME OFF THE PLATFORM AND LOOK AT ME AND GO, WOULD
00:03:50.070 --> 00:03:52.210
YOUR DAD HAVE LOVED THAT TONIGHT?
00:03:52.230 --> 00:03:54.000
- WOW.
00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:55.050
AMAZING.
00:03:55.070 --> 00:03:56.240
- AND I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT THAT JUST THE OTHER
00:03:56.260 --> 00:03:59.200
DAY SHE YEARNS, AND I'LL JUST SAY HE WOULD HAVE
00:03:59.220 --> 00:04:01.290
LOVED THAT, YOU KNOW.
00:04:02.010 --> 00:04:03.180
AND IT JUST FILLS HER UP WITH SOMETHING, AND SHE
00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:05.230
MOVES ON.
00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:07.050
BUT SHE ASKS ME THAT ALL THE TIME.
00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:08.120
- IT'S STILL THERE.
00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:09.250
YOU COULD BE A CEO.
00:04:09.270 --> 00:04:11.210
YOU COULD HAVE MADE A BOATLOAD OF MONEY, YOU
00:04:11.230 --> 00:04:13.130
COULD HAVE GOTTEN DEGREES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND
00:04:13.150 --> 00:04:15.180
WHEN I POSTED ABOUT NOT FORSAKEN COMING OUT I GOT
00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:18.000
A COMMENT BACK FROM A 20 SOMETHING YEAR OLD MAN,
00:04:18.020 --> 00:04:20.270
AND HE SAID TO ME, HE SAID MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:24.100
MY DAD LEFT ME FILLED WITH PAIN AND HURT.
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.290
AND MY DAD PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR.
00:04:28.010 --> 00:04:30.210
HE WAS A VERY WELL-KNOWN PUBLIC FIGURE, AND SO
00:04:30.230 --> 00:04:33.070
THERE WAS THAT SIDE OF MY DAD BUT THEN THERE WAS
00:04:33.090 --> 00:04:35.110
THE SIDE OF MY DAD THAT I KNEW, AND MY DAD DIED.
00:04:35.130 --> 00:04:37.130
I'VE SORT OF CLOSED THE DOOR ON ALL THAT SO DO
00:04:37.150 --> 00:04:41.100
YOU THINK IT'S WORTH ME OPENING THE DOOR AND
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.270
GOING THERE AGAIN?
00:04:43.290 --> 00:04:45.260
- WOW.
00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:47.110
- AND IF THAT YOUNG MAN WERE WATCHING RIGHT NOW,
00:04:47.130 --> 00:04:49.060
MATT, OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM WATCHING RIGHT NOW I'D
00:04:49.080 --> 00:04:51.070
SAY I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE AN OPTION.
00:04:51.090 --> 00:04:54.180
I DON'T HONESTLY THINK YOU HAVE A CHOICE BECAUSE
00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:58.070
SOMEONE SAID TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO, THEY SAID, YOU
00:04:58.090 --> 00:05:00.100
KNOW WHAT, LOUIE?
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.260
I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY DAD.
00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:03.070
MY DAD WALKED OUT ON OUR FAMILY.
00:05:03.090 --> 00:05:05.000
I WAS 7 YEARS OLD, AND MY DAD WENT TO LIVE WITH
00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:06.250
ANOTHER FAMILY, AND AT FIRST IT WAS A LOT OF
00:05:06.270 --> 00:05:09.110
PHONE CALLS AND THEN LESS AND LESS AND THEN A FEW
00:05:09.130 --> 00:05:11.080
TEXTS, AND THEN COMMUNICATION SORT OF
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.090
BROKE DOWN ALTOGETHER, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:05:13.110 --> 00:05:16.040
I DON'T CARE.
00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:17.200
I DON'T CARE WHAT HE THINKS.
00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:19.110
I DON'T CARE WHERE HE IS.
00:05:19.130 --> 00:05:20.230
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:22.130
I DON'T CARE IF I EVER SPEAK TO MY DAD AGAIN.
00:05:22.150 --> 00:05:25.070
AND I SAID, WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME ALL THIS?
00:05:25.090 --> 00:05:27.050
- OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:05:27.070 --> 00:05:29.270
- AND IT JUST SORT OF ARRESTED HIM.
00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:32.070
AND ALL THE FURY OF I DON'T CARE OR A LOT OF US
00:05:32.090 --> 00:05:34.120
SAY, I'LL NEVER BE LIKE MY DAD.
00:05:34.140 --> 00:05:36.170
I'LL NEVER TREAT MY WIFE LIKE MY DAD TREATED MOM.
00:05:36.190 --> 00:05:38.140
I'LL NEVER TALK TO MY MOM LIKE DAD TALKED TO US.
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.060
I'LL NEVER BE AN ALCOHOLIC OR A WORKAHOLIC
00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:42.020
OR I'LL NEVER BE LIKE MY DAD.
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:43.170
AND EVERY TIME WE SAY THAT, WE'RE REHEARSING
00:05:43.190 --> 00:05:46.250
THE NEGATIVE.
00:05:46.270 --> 00:05:50.040
AND WE'RE REPLAYING THE NEGATIVE IN OUR LIVES.
00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:53.030
AND GOD WANTS TO BREAK US FREE FROM ALL THAT.
00:05:53.050 --> 00:05:55.090
WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT HE WANTS TO BREAK
00:05:55.110 --> 00:05:57.200
US FREE SO WE CAN MOVE INTO WHAT WE DO WANT TO
00:05:57.220 --> 00:05:59.150
BE, HOW WE DO WANT TO LIVE, HOW WE DO WANT TO
00:05:59.170 --> 00:06:02.150
TREAT OUR CHILDREN, OUR WIFE, OUR FAMILY AND HOW
00:06:02.170 --> 00:06:05.210
WE WANT TO LIVE OUR LIVES.
00:06:05.230 --> 00:06:07.220
AND THAT'S THE HOPE OF NOT FORSAKEN.
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.120
THE TAG LINE OF THIS BOOK IS FINDING FREEDOM AS
00:06:10.140 --> 00:06:12.080
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF A PERFECT FATHER.
00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:15.240
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:17.020
WOW.
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.050
[APPLAUSE]
00:06:18.070 --> 00:06:19.140
NOT FORSAKEN.
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.040
IT IS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.260
IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS
00:06:23.280 --> 00:06:27.280
BROADCAST RUNS, IT'S JUNE 3.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.080
FATHER'S DAY IS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AWAY.
00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.080
WE'D ENCOURAGE YOU TO DIAL THAT 800 NUMBER AND
00:06:34.100 --> 00:06:36.100
GET THIS FOR SOMEBODY YOU KNOW.
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.030
IT APPLIES TO SOMEBODY IN YOUR LIFE.
00:06:40.050 --> 00:06:42.220
IT APPLIES TO YOU.
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.190
IT APPLIES TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBER.
00:06:44.210 --> 00:06:46.050
IT APPLIES TO SOMEONE.
00:06:46.070 --> 00:06:47.260
IT APPLIES TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:50.050
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT IT'S PROBABLY
00:06:50.070 --> 00:06:54.130
APPLICABLE FOR THE PERSON THAT'S SAYING IT DOESN'T
00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:57.290
MATTER TO ME BECAUSE BASICALLY THEY'RE
00:06:58.010 --> 00:07:00.260
IN DENIAL.
00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:02.070
THERE IS A GAP IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT
00:07:02.090 --> 00:07:06.290
EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FATHER THAT YOU'RE
00:07:07.010 --> 00:07:09.030
TALKING ABOUT, AND THIS BOOK FILLS THE GAP.
00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:11.260
- ABSOLUTELY.
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:13.280
GOD FILLS THE GAP, YOU KNOW.
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.260
AND I THINK THE THING THAT'S POWERFUL, MATT, IS
00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:18.110
THAT THIS ISN'T A CHURCH SUBJECT.
00:07:18.130 --> 00:07:20.210
THIS ISN'T JUST SOMETHING THAT PASTORS ARE
00:07:20.230 --> 00:07:23.120
TALKING ABOUT.
00:07:23.140 --> 00:07:24.260
SOME OF THE LEADING VOICES IN THIS GENERATION
00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:26.210
RIGHT NOW, THE LEADING AUTHORS IN THIS
00:07:26.230 --> 00:07:28.090
GENERATION RIGHT NOW ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CRISIS
00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.130
OF FATHERLESSNESS.
00:07:30.150 --> 00:07:32.130
IN FACT, THERE'S A BOOK CALLED THE BOY CRISIS.
00:07:32.150 --> 00:07:34.260
IT'S ONE OF THE BEST SELLING BOOKS OUT THERE
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:37.130
RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S JUST UNFOLDING REALLY THE
00:07:37.150 --> 00:07:41.090
COLLATERAL OF A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED.
00:07:41.110 --> 00:07:44.190
NUMBER ONE, TEN YEARS AGO NEW YORK FOR THE 50TH
00:07:44.210 --> 00:07:46.110
STATE TO PASS NO FAULT DIVORCE.
00:07:46.130 --> 00:07:48.160
SO NOW ALL 50 STATES FOR A DECADE HAVE HAD -ISN'T
00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:50.280
THAT A NICE NAME BY THE WAY FOR DIVORCE,
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.260
NO FAULT DIVORCE?
00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:54.170
IT SOUNDS SO INNOCENT AND SO CASUAL, BUT NOW YOU
00:07:54.190 --> 00:07:57.030
DON'T NEED A JUDGE OR A JURY OR A PROCESS OR EVEN
00:07:57.050 --> 00:08:00.150
A TIME LINE.
00:08:00.170 --> 00:08:02.010
FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS AND A COUPLE HOURS
00:08:02.030 --> 00:08:03.110
YOU CAN GET A DIVORCE.
00:08:03.130 --> 00:08:05.080
BUT NOW WE REAP THE HARVEST, AND THEY SAY ONE
00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:09.220
IN 4 CHILDREN IN AMERICA GROWING UP IN A HOME
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.240
WHERE A FATHER IS NOT PRESENT IN THE HOME,
00:08:11.260 --> 00:08:14.150
1 IN 4 KIDS ARE GROWING UP WITHOUT WHAT?
00:08:14.170 --> 00:08:18.150
WITHOUT THE BLESSING.
00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:20.290
DADDY CAN'T WATCH ME IF DADDY IS NOT IN THE HOME.
00:08:21.010 --> 00:08:23.210
DADDY CAN'T SAY, WAY TO GO, BABY GIRL, IF DADDY
00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:25.060
ISN'T IN THE HOME.
00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:26.290
DADDY CAN'T SAY ACE, THAT WAS YOUR BEST THROW, YOUR
00:08:27.010 --> 00:08:28.140
BEST JUMP, YOUR BEST KICK, WHATEVER, IF HE'S
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.060
NOT IN THE HOME.
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:34.090
AND HERE'S THE BIGGER ISSUE.
00:08:34.110 --> 00:08:36.180
JESUS TAUGHT US ONE THING ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.190
ABOUT GOD.
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:40.160
HE TAUGHT US THAT GOD IS A FATHER.
00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:44.070
SO HE TAUGHT US HE WAS CREATOR, SOVEREIGN,
00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:46.050
ETERNAL, LORD, JUDGE.
00:08:46.070 --> 00:08:48.260
AND GOD IS ALL THOSE THINGS, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
00:08:48.280 --> 00:08:50.140
HE TAUGHT US MOST?
00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:51.290
189 TIMES IN THE GOSPELS ALONE, JESUS TEACHES US
00:08:52.010 --> 00:08:55.180
THAT GOD IS A FATHER.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.030
THINK ABOUT IT.
00:08:57.050 --> 00:08:58.180
AND WHEN YOU PRAY, PRAY LIKE THIS.
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.280
YOU SAY IT WITH IT, OUR FATHER
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.190
[REPEATING TOGETHER]
00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:05.210
SEE, IF YOU'VE SEEN ME JESUS SAID, YOU'VE SEEN
00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:07.040
THE FATHER.
00:09:07.060 --> 00:09:08.250
FOR I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.
00:09:08.270 --> 00:09:10.140
189 TIMES.
00:09:10.160 --> 00:09:12.150
SO OUR CENTRAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS
00:09:12.170 --> 00:09:14.230
CHILDREN AND A FATHER.
00:09:14.250 --> 00:09:17.040
A PERFECT FATHER, AND THE ENEMY KNOWS THAT.
00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:19.220
SO HE PUT A BULLS ION FATHERHOOD.
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.090
HE'S DESTROYING FATHERHOOD IN OUR
00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:24.200
GENERATION RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, AND IF HE
00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:27.110
SUCCEEDS IN THAT, HE PUTS A HURDLE IN FRONT OF
00:09:27.130 --> 00:09:30.000
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US TO COME TO KNOW GOD THE WAY
00:09:30.020 --> 00:09:32.290
GOD WANTS US TO RELATE TO HIM.
00:09:33.010 --> 00:09:35.190
- LOUIE GIGLIO IS GOING TO BE WITH US ALL NIGHT.
00:09:35.210 --> 00:09:38.160
WE PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE CLIP, A LITTLE BIO PIECE.
00:09:38.180 --> 00:09:41.120
WATCH THIS.
00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:43.120
- IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE 18 TO 20 SOMETHINGS
00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:45.270
ON FIRE FOR GOD IN ONE PLACE, LOOK NO FURTHER
00:09:45.290 --> 00:09:48.160
THAN THE PASSION MOVEMENT WHERE FOUNDER LOUIE
00:09:48.180 --> 00:09:51.210
GIGLIO GATHERS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
00:09:51.230 --> 00:09:54.150
IN EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD FOR A
00:09:54.170 --> 00:09:56.070
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.
00:09:56.090 --> 00:09:58.080
FOR HIM, PASSION IS MORE THAN MUSIC, MORE
00:09:58.100 --> 00:10:01.070
THAN EVENTS.
00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:03.110
IT'S A GENERATION LIVING FOR GOD'S NAME.
00:10:03.130 --> 00:10:06.120
BORN OUT OF THE PASSION MOVEMENT AND A STIRRING
00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:08.240
OF THE HEART FOR A LOCAL CHURCH, LOUIE AND HIS
00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:11.190
WIFE SHELLY LAUNCHED SHELLY PASSION CITY
00:10:11.210 --> 00:10:14.020
CHURCH IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA WHERE HE SAYS THE
00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:17.040
GOSPEL IS CENTRAL AND JESUS IS ALWAYS THE
00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:19.050
LEAD STORY.
00:10:19.070 --> 00:10:21.150
YOU'LL FIND THAT THEME ECHOED IN HIS NATIONAL
00:10:21.170 --> 00:10:23.200
BEST-SELLING BOOKS WHERE HE OFTEN ENCOURAGES
00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:26.050
OTHERS TO LIVE IN PURSUIT OF GOD'S GLORY.
00:10:26.070 --> 00:10:29.160
LOUIE AND HIS WIFE ALSO LEAD TEAMS AT SIX STEPS
00:10:29.180 --> 00:10:32.000
RECORDS AND THE FASHION GLOBAL INSTITUTE DESIGNED
00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:35.130
TO ELEVATE WORSHIP AND BUILD THE CHURCH.
00:10:35.150 --> 00:10:38.160
THERE'S NO DOUBT, THIS PASSIONATE LEADER IS ON A
00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:42.210
MISSION TO AMPLIFY THE NAME OF JESUS AND CHANGE
00:10:42.230 --> 00:10:45.010
THE CLIMATE OF FAITH AROUND THE GLOBE.
00:10:45.030 --> 00:10:47.120
HERE ON PRAISE, LOUIE GIGLIO.
00:10:47.140 --> 00:10:50.260
[APPLAUSE]
00:10:50.280 --> 00:10:55.090
- ALL NIGHT, NOT FORSAKEN.
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:57.080
LOUIE GIGLIO, YOU -- - ONE OF OUR FAVORITE
00:10:57.100 --> 00:10:59.180
PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.020
- SERIOUSLY.
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:04.030
I'VE NEVER INTERVIEWED YOU, BEEN AROUND YOU -YOU
00:11:04.050 --> 00:11:06.040
KNOW, BECAUSE WE BOTH LIKE GOLF.
00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:08.050
[LAUGHTER] IT'S NEVER ABOUT SOME RANDOM NORMAL
00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:10.060
LIFE ISSUE.
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.250
IT'S EITHER SOME KIND OF CRAZY AMAZING THING
00:11:13.270 --> 00:11:17.210
YOU'RE DOING LIKE 60.000 KIDS IN OUR PASSION
00:11:17.230 --> 00:11:21.070
CONFERENCE, OR IT'S BECAUSE OF SOME KIND OF
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:25.160
CRAZY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN THING THAT YOU
00:11:25.180 --> 00:11:28.140
EXPERIENCED IN YOUR LIFE, AND THAT CAUSED A BOOK TO
00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:31.040
COME TOGETHER.
00:11:31.060 --> 00:11:32.270
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A MOMENT WHERE WE'VE JUST
00:11:32.290 --> 00:11:37.100
SAT AND SAID, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE-- -
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.230
NICE STUFF TONIGHT.
00:11:39.250 --> 00:11:41.140
- NICE STUFF.
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:42.160
- YEAH.
00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:43.240
LET'S GO DOWN TO THE PEER AND GET AN ICE CREAM.
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:46.170
- WALK AROUND, YOU KNOW.
00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:48.150
IT'S ALWAYS JUST THIS --
00:11:48.170 --> 00:11:50.000
- WE COULD DO THAT, THOUGH.
00:11:50.020 --> 00:11:51.040
- WE COULD.
00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:52.160
- BUT YOU ARE JUST, I MEAN, PASSION IS WHAT
00:11:52.180 --> 00:11:54.050
YOU ARE.
00:11:54.070 --> 00:11:55.200
IF YOU WERE A TUBE OF TOOTHPASTE AND WE
00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:57.120
SQUEEZED YOU, PASSION WOULD COME OUT OF THE TOP
00:11:57.140 --> 00:11:59.030
OF YOUR HEAD.
00:11:59.050 --> 00:12:00.290
SO THERE HAS TO BE SOME CRAZY STORY ABOUT HOW
00:12:01.010 --> 00:12:05.000
THIS APPLIES TO YOU OR GOD WOULDN'T HAVE HAD YOU
00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:07.070
DO IT, OKAY.
00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:09.030
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AND NOT FORSAKEN?
00:12:09.050 --> 00:12:12.040
WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND YOUR FATHER, YOUR
00:12:12.060 --> 00:12:14.140
FAMILY OR SOMETHING?
00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:16.160
SOMETHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE YOU TO WRITE THIS BOOK.
00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:19.060
- YEAH.
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.110
2 BIG THINGS HAPPENED.
00:12:20.130 --> 00:12:21.290
ONE, I HAD A MENTOR WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
00:12:22.010 --> 00:12:23.120
COLLEGE NAMED DAN DEHAN.
00:12:23.140 --> 00:12:24.240
HE WENT TO HEAVEN IN 1982 AND HE WAS 33 YEARS OLD.
00:12:24.260 --> 00:12:26.120
BUT HE WAS MY GUY, AND WHEN I WAS AROUND THIS
00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:30.140
GUY, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT JESUS,
00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:32.220
EVERYTHING CHANGED.
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.010
SOMETHING SWITCHED ON.
00:12:34.030 --> 00:12:35.210
THERE WAS FIRE IN HIS EYES, AND THIS GUY WAS A
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:37.180
MARATHON RUNNER, TENNIS PLAYER.
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.180
HE WAS COOL.
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.290
BUT WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT JESUS, IT WAS
00:12:41.010 --> 00:12:42.260
NOT INFORMATION.
00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:45.010
IT WAS I KNOW JESUS.
00:12:45.030 --> 00:12:46.240
I KNOW GOD, AND HE SPARKED IN ME A HUNGER,
00:12:46.260 --> 00:12:51.240
EVEN AS AN 18 YEAR OLD I WANT TO KNOW GOD.
00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:54.210
I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE
00:12:54.230 --> 00:12:56.020
WITH INFORMATION.
00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:57.150
I WANT TO REALLY KNOW THIS GOD, AND THAT WAS
00:12:57.170 --> 00:12:59.100
THE CATALYST, AND DAN TAUGHT ME THAT GOD IS
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.010
A FATHER.
00:13:01.030 --> 00:13:03.110
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD SOMEONE SAY 189 TIMES IN
00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:05.110
THE 4 GOSPELS ALONE WAS DAN IN ABOUT 1980.
00:13:05.130 --> 00:13:09.030
SO THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK.
00:13:09.050 --> 00:13:11.230
THIS IS MY FORMATION AND THIS IS HOW I CAME TO
00:13:11.250 --> 00:13:14.210
KNOW GOD PERSONALLY, NOT JUST ALL THE INFORMATION.
00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:18.050
I GOT SAVED.
00:13:18.070 --> 00:13:19.190
I WENT TO CHURCH.
00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:20.200
I READ THE BIBLE.
00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.280
ALL THAT, NO.
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.100
I NOW AM EXPERIENCING A RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.290
CREATION, WITH JUSTICE, WITH OMNIPOTENCE,
00:13:26.010 --> 00:13:29.280
WITH SOVEREIGNTY.
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:30.230
ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:32.050
YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND
00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:33.080
SOVEREIGNTY THOUGH.
00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:34.180
YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND JUSTICE, BUT YOU
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:36.070
CAN PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND A FATHER.
00:13:36.090 --> 00:13:37.190
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:13:37.210 --> 00:13:39.090
- AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
00:13:39.110 --> 00:13:41.060
AND I DECIDED AT ABOUT 18 YEARS OLD THAT I WAS
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:44.240
GOING TO SET MY LIFE TOWARDS KNOWING GOD.
00:13:44.260 --> 00:13:50.020
AND ALL OF THAT WAS WRAPPED AROUND KNOWING
00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:52.150
HIM AS A FATHER.
00:13:52.170 --> 00:13:54.080
NOW, THAT WAS ALL CONTEXTUALIZED WITH MY DAD.
00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:57.040
MY DAD, WE WERE HALF CATHOLIC, HALF BAPTIST
00:13:57.060 --> 00:13:59.120
FAMILY SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MADE US.
00:13:59.140 --> 00:14:01.060
DAD WAS A NON-PRACTICING CATHOLIC, AND I WAS ON
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.170
FIRE FOR JESUS, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE COMMON GROUND
00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:08.240
AROUND THAT, AND LO AND BEHOLD WHEN I'M A
00:14:08.260 --> 00:14:11.090
FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE GOD CALLS ME TO PREACH.
00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:13.030
I MEAN A RADICAL TRANSFORMATIONAL CALL.
00:14:13.050 --> 00:14:14.280
WOKE ME NEWSPAPER THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:16.200
CLEAR AS A BELL, YOU'RE NOT GOING THAT WAY,
00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:18.150
YOU'RE GOING THIS WAY.
00:14:18.170 --> 00:14:20.080
SO TWO WEEKS LATER I'M GOING TO GO DOWN AND TELL
00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:22.030
THE CHURCH ON SUNDAY NIGHT.
00:14:22.050 --> 00:14:23.140
DO YOU REMEMBER THESE DAYS WHEN YOU WOULD GO
00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:24.290
DOWN SUNDAY NIGHT?
00:14:25.010 --> 00:14:26.120
CHARLES STANLEY IS MY PASTOR.
00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:27.240
I'M GOING TO SHAKE HIS HAND AND I'M GOING SO
00:14:27.260 --> 00:14:29.120
SURRENDER TO THE MINISTRY, AND I KNEW I
00:14:29.140 --> 00:14:31.230
NEEDED MY DAD TO COME BUT MY DAD DIDN'T GO TO
00:14:31.250 --> 00:14:33.190
CHURCH, SO MONDAY I SHOULD HAVE TOLD MY DAD,
00:14:33.210 --> 00:14:36.060
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY,
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.290
SATURDAY SHOULD HAVE TOLD MY DAD.
00:14:38.010 --> 00:14:39.150
SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM SUNDAY MORNING, BUT I
00:14:39.170 --> 00:14:40.210
DIDN'T.
00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:41.290
I DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM UNTIL 3 O'CLOCK
00:14:42.010 --> 00:14:43.110
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
00:14:43.130 --> 00:14:44.280
NOW, THIS IS PUTTING MY DAD IN A VERY DIFFICULT
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.150
SPOT, BUT I FINALLY GOT UP THE NERVE.
00:14:46.170 --> 00:14:48.000
I WALK INTO THE KITCHEN OF OUR LITTLE MODEST
00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:49.090
APARTMENT IN SMYRNA, GEORGIA, AND MY DAD WAS
00:14:49.110 --> 00:14:52.080
EATING LEFTOVERS OUT OF A POT ON THE STOVE AS MY
00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:53.220
DAD WOULD AT 3 O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON ON A SUNDAY
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.280
AFTERNOON, AND I SAID DAD, AND I DON'T EVEN
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.180
KNOW HOW I GOT THE WORDS OUT.
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:02.070
I JUST SAID DAD, I FEEL LIKE GOD HAS CALLED ME TO
00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:03.220
BE A PREACHER.
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.130
AND MY DAD LOOKED AT ME, AND YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
00:15:05.150 --> 00:15:06.280
WITH YOUR DAD YOU DON'T NEED A SENTENCE.
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.120
IT'S JUST A LOOK.
00:15:09.140 --> 00:15:11.180
AND IT ALL WAS LIKE, ALL THE WHEELS WERE GRINDING,
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.250
OKAY.
00:15:15.270 --> 00:15:17.120
SO I'M GOING TO BE WITH MY POKER BUDDIES NEXT
00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:19.080
FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASKING ME
00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:21.010
NOW, WHAT'S YOUR KID GOING TO DO AGAIN?
00:15:21.030 --> 00:15:23.260
AND I AM GOING TO SAY, MY DAD, I'M GOING TO SAY
00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:26.020
HE'S GOING TO BE A BAPTIST PREACHER.
00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:28.020
DEAL ME IN.
00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:31.190
[LAUGHTER]
00:15:31.210 --> 00:15:33.150
I MEAN, IT'S JUST PUTTING MY DAD IN A REALLY
00:15:33.170 --> 00:15:35.040
AWKWARD SPOT, AND IT'S 3 O'CLOCK, AND THE SERVICE
00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:37.060
IS AT WHATEVER, 7.
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.290
AND I SAID DAD, I'D REALLY LIKE IT IF YOU
00:15:40.010 --> 00:15:41.050
CAME TONIGHT.
00:15:41.070 --> 00:15:42.270
AND THAT NIGHT I DID GO DOWN THE AISLE AND I DID
00:15:42.290 --> 00:15:44.210
SHAKE DOCTOR STANLEY'S HAND AND I DID SURRENDER
00:15:44.230 --> 00:15:46.100
TO MINISTRY, AND MY DAD WASN'T THERE.
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.190
AND WE DIDN'T HAVE A COMMUNICATE AROUND IT.
00:15:48.210 --> 00:15:51.160
WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT THAT NIGHT OR THE NEXT
00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:53.090
NIGHT OR THE NEXT WEEK OR THE NEXT MONTH OR SIX
00:15:53.110 --> 00:15:54.160
MONTHS AFTER THAT.
00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:56.170
AND I SET OUT ON THIS COURSE TO DO THIS THING I
00:15:56.190 --> 00:15:58.240
KNEW GOD HAD CALLED ME TO DO, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE
00:15:58.260 --> 00:16:02.130
THAT AFFIRMATION, THAT BELIEF FROM MY DAD SAYING
00:16:02.150 --> 00:16:06.060
YOU CAN DO IT.
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.040
- WOW.
00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:11.150
- SO I HAD TO PROCESS THAT, AND I THINK ALL OF
00:16:11.170 --> 00:16:13.200
US HAVE SOME PROCESSING TO DO LIKE THAT IN OUR LIVES.
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:17.040
- THE SUBJECT GOES ON.
00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:20.140
IMPACTS YOU.
00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:22.290
THE BOOK COMES OUT 30 YEARS LATER.
00:16:23.010 --> 00:16:27.270
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PROCESS OF THIS?
00:16:27.290 --> 00:16:33.040
AND HOW DID IT APPLY TO YOU?
00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:34.260
- WELL, ONE THING THAT WAS A GIFT FROM GOD, MY
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:36.280
DAD TRAGICALLY AT 58 YEARS OF AGE, SO MANY
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.180
YEARS AFTER THE STOVE INCIDENT, MY DAD
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:43.080
CONTRACTED A BRAIN VIRUS AND BECOME DISABLED
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:45.170
OVERNIGHT, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY WENT FROM JUST
00:16:45.190 --> 00:16:48.190
BEING A GENIUS.
00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:50.110
MY DAD CREATED THE CHICK-FIL-A LOGO.
00:16:50.130 --> 00:16:51.220
DID OTHER AMAZING THINGS IN LIFE.
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.290
- OKAY, WAIT.
00:16:54.010 --> 00:16:55.130
[LAUGHTER]
00:16:55.150 --> 00:16:57.100
- I LOVE THIS STORY.
00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.170
- HELLO.
00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:01.140
- OKAY.
00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:02.220
YOU DON'T JUST PASS OVER THAT.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.220
SAY THAT AGAIN.
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:04.290
- MY DAD WAS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER, AND FREELANCED
00:17:05.010 --> 00:17:06.200
IN ATLANTA, AND IN 1964 MY DAD CREATED --
00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:08.070
- GO TO A WIDE SHOT.
00:17:08.090 --> 00:17:09.160
COME ON IN.
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.270
JUST STAY THERE.
00:17:10.290 --> 00:17:12.050
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
00:17:12.070 --> 00:17:13.230
- OH!
00:17:13.250 --> 00:17:14.270
YES, SIR.
00:17:14.290 --> 00:17:16.040
[APPLAUSE]
00:17:16.060 --> 00:17:17.220
- DINNER.
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.020
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:20.040
- THAT'S JUST FOR YOU.
00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:21.080
- COME ON, PEOPLE.
00:17:21.100 --> 00:17:22.130
IT'S GETTING BETTER IN HERE RIGHT NOW.
00:17:22.150 --> 00:17:23.200
IN 1964, CHICK-FIL-A HAS HAD A LOGO FOR TWO
00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:26.100
YEARS BUT IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BALL GAME.
00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:28.080
MY DAD DRAWS THIS GUY OUT IN 1964.
00:17:28.100 --> 00:17:32.230
ORIGINALLY IT WAS BLACK AND THINNER WITH LITTLE
00:17:32.250 --> 00:17:35.050
RED THINGS ON THE TOP.
00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:37.030
MY SISTER WATCHED HIM DO IT WHEN SHE WAS 7 YEARS OLD.
00:17:37.050 --> 00:17:40.030
AND SHE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT IT.
00:17:40.050 --> 00:17:41.190
CAN WE EAT SOME OF THESE?
00:17:41.210 --> 00:17:43.260
- THAT IS FOR YOU.
00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:45.030
IT'S JUST A PROP.
00:17:45.050 --> 00:17:47.020
THEY PAID US A LOT OF MONEY TO BRING THIS TO YOU.
00:17:47.040 --> 00:17:49.140
I'M KIDDING.
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.030
WE PAID.
00:17:51.050 --> 00:17:53.190
- BUT MY SISTER TOLD ME ALL THESE YEARS, SHE SAID
00:17:53.210 --> 00:17:55.140
YOU KNOW, WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY WHICH I WAS
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.100
ABOUT TO SAY SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, DADDY DID THE
00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:59.120
CHICK-FIL-A LOGO.
00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:01.010
AND WHEN MY DAD DIED WE FOUND A LOT OF SKETCHES
00:18:01.030 --> 00:18:02.140
AND EARLY THINGS OF THINGS HE'D DONE ALL OVER
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.140
THE CITY OF ATLANTA, BUT NEVER DID WE FIND THE
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:06.130
CHICK-FIL-A SKETCHES.
00:18:06.150 --> 00:18:08.190
AND I JUST SET OH GINA, THAT'S AWESOME THAT YOU
00:18:08.210 --> 00:18:10.180
THINK DAD DID THE CHICK FIL A LOGO, YOU KNOW.
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.070
[LAUGHTER]
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:13.160
I'M GONNA LET YOU HAVE THAT.
00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:14.280
IT'S AMAZING, AND TEN YEARS LATER THE HEAD OF
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.120
CHICK-FIL-A CALLS ME OUT OF THE BLUE.
00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:19.170
I KNOW HIM WELL NOW BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HIM AT THE
00:18:19.190 --> 00:18:21.210
TIME, AND HE SAID I'M ABOUT TO FAX YOU
00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:23.110
SOMETHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE, AND IT WAS THE
00:18:23.130 --> 00:18:26.020
ORIGINAL INVOICE FROM 1964 WHEN FOR $75 MY DAD
00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:31.050
CREATED THE CHICK FIL A LOGO THAT IS STILL
00:18:31.070 --> 00:18:33.200
IN EXISTENCE.
00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:35.200
BEEN THICKENED UP, TURNED RED, SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS
00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.200
A FEW TIMES, BUT IT'S STILL THERE.
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:40.080
BUT THIS BRILLIANT ARTIST OVERNIGHT BECOMES
00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:43.210
DISABLED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:46.000
NEVER GOES BACK TO WORK, NEVER PLAYS GOLF, NEVER
00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:47.180
DOES ART AGAIN.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.140
AND IN THE PROCESS OF THAT, I'M LIVING IN
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.270
ANOTHER STATE, AND CHARLES STANLEY CALLS ME
00:18:52.290 --> 00:18:55.090
AND HE SAYS, I'D LIKE YOU TO COME AND PREACH FOR ME
00:18:55.110 --> 00:18:59.040
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND I'M
00:18:59.060 --> 00:19:01.160
LIKE OH, WOW.
00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:03.070
NOW, I CAN'T EXPLAIN -I'M DOING YOUTH RETREATS AND
00:19:03.090 --> 00:19:06.210
LOCK INS AND THAT'S ABOUT WHERE I AM IN MY MINISTRY
00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:11.010
TRACK, AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND PREACH TO
00:19:11.030 --> 00:19:13.120
3 .000 PEOPLE ON FATHER'S DAY SUNDAY NO LESS AT
00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:15.160
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH ATLANTA.
00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:18.000
AND I'M PREACHING THIS MESSAGE.
00:19:18.020 --> 00:19:19.290
- WOW.
00:19:20.010 --> 00:19:21.060
- I'M PREACHING THAT GOD IS A PERFECT FATHER.
00:19:21.080 --> 00:19:23.010
WELL, MY MOM HAS BEEN OUT OF CHURCH FOR FOUR YEARS
00:19:23.030 --> 00:19:25.030
CARING FOR MY DAD.
00:19:25.050 --> 00:19:26.150
SHE JUST DROPS OUT OF LIFE FOR A FEW YEARS
00:19:26.170 --> 00:19:28.070
BECAUSE SHE'S THE SOUL CAREGIVER FOR MY DAD 24
00:19:28.090 --> 00:19:29.240
HOURS A DAY.
00:19:29.260 --> 00:19:31.290
MY DAD HADN'T BEEN CHURCH FOR YEARS BEFORE HE GOT
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:33.220
SICK, BUT ON THAT SUNDAY MY MOM CAME, AND MY DAD
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.110
CAME, AND SITTING RIGHT OVER THERE UNDER THE
00:19:35.130 --> 00:19:39.130
BALCONY [APPLAUSE] AT THE END OF THE PEW IS MY
00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:43.290
MOM, AND THERE'S MY DAD IN HIS WHEELCHAIR IN
00:19:44.010 --> 00:19:46.070
THE AISLE.
00:19:46.090 --> 00:19:47.200
AND HE LOOKED FANTASTIC.
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.040
MY MOM HAS GOT HIM LOOKING GREAT.
00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:50.140
MY DAD HAS NEVER HEARD ME SPEAK, HAS NEVER HEARD ME
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.030
PREACH, HAS NEVER HEARD ME OPEN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:19:53.050 --> 00:19:56.000
THIS IS BEFORE THE TECHNOLOGICAL AGE SO HE
00:19:56.020 --> 00:19:57.140
COULDN'T HEAR.
00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:58.200
I LIVED IN TEXAS.
00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:59.260
HE LIVED IN ATLANTA, AND WE'VE NEVER FINISHED
00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:02.100
CONVERSATION AT THE STOVE.
00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:03.170
- OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:20:03.190 --> 00:20:04.290
- SO I STAND UP TO SPEAK.
00:20:05.010 --> 00:20:06.220
I'M SHAKING IN MY SHOES BECAUSE I'M PREACHING FOR
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.160
CHARLES STANLEY, AND I'M BEHIND THAT PULPIT THAT I
00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:11.020
HEARD HIM PREACH FROM ALL THOSE YEARS, AND I'M IN
00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:14.050
THE VERY ROOM WHERE I CAME DOWN THAT NIGHT AND
00:20:14.070 --> 00:20:16.100
SURRENDERED TO THE CALL TO PREACH.
00:20:16.120 --> 00:20:18.140
AND I DON'T EVEN LOOK OVER AT MY MOM AND DAD.
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.080
I DON'T EVEN EVER LOOK OVER THAT WAY.
00:20:20.100 --> 00:20:21.240
I PREACHED THE MESSAGE.
00:20:21.260 --> 00:20:23.130
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR BAD.
00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:24.180
I GET THROUGH IT.
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:25.230
I COME DOWN THE STEPS.
00:20:25.250 --> 00:20:27.060
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:28.080
THANK YOU.
00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:29.130
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
00:20:29.150 --> 00:20:30.240
FINALLY ALL THOSE PEOPLE DISSIPATE AND I LOOK UP
00:20:30.260 --> 00:20:32.090
AND THERE'S AN ARMY AROUND MY MOM BECAUSE
00:20:32.110 --> 00:20:34.010
SHE'S A SAINT AT THIS HOUSE.
00:20:34.030 --> 00:20:35.160
AND SHE HASN'T BEEN IN CHURCH FOR FIVE YEARS PROBABLY.
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:38.130
AND SO FINALLY ALL THE PEOPLE TRICKLE AWAY, AND
00:20:38.150 --> 00:20:41.020
I WALK UP AND THERE'S MY DAD, AND I REACH OUT MY
00:20:41.040 --> 00:20:43.000
HAND, AND MY THROAT JUST GOES RIGHT INTO MY MOUTH,
00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:47.170
AND I JUST BREAK, AND I JUST SAY DAD, THANKS SO
00:20:47.190 --> 00:20:50.050
MUCH FOR COMING.
00:20:50.070 --> 00:20:51.150
AND I REACH DOWN AND GRAB HIS HAND, AND MY DAD HAD
00:20:51.170 --> 00:20:54.070
THIS GLEAM IN HIS EYE AND THIS SMILE, AND WHEN HE'D
00:20:54.090 --> 00:20:56.150
SMILE IT JUST WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING, AND HE
00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:58.270
JUST LOOKED UP AT ME WITH THAT SMILE, AND HE GOES
00:20:58.290 --> 00:21:00.260
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, ACE?
00:21:00.280 --> 00:21:02.290
HE SAID, THAT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER
00:21:03.010 --> 00:21:05.020
HEARD IN MY LIFE.
00:21:05.040 --> 00:21:07.240
- OH, MY GOODNESS.
00:21:07.260 --> 00:21:10.060
- AND I JUST WAS LIKE [CLEARS THROAT] AND FROM
00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:14.190
THAT MOMENT I KNEW I HAD MY FATHER'S BLESSING.
00:21:14.210 --> 00:21:18.040
AND WE NEVER HAD THE COMMONALITY OF OUR WALK
00:21:18.060 --> 00:21:22.030
WITH JESUS, BUT I KNEW HE WAS PROUD OF ME, AND I
00:21:22.050 --> 00:21:24.230
KNOW HE'S PROUD OF ME RIGHT NOW, AND WHEN I DO
00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:27.040
WALK OFF THE STAGE I KNOW IF MY DAD WAS SITTING
00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:29.170
THERE RIGHT NOW HE'D G-MAN, THAT
00:21:29.190 --> 00:21:31.000
WAS FANTASTIC.
00:21:31.020 --> 00:21:32.040
THAT WAS AMAZING.
00:21:32.060 --> 00:21:34.010
SO IN MY LIFE I'VE SEEN THE WAY GOD CAN COME
00:21:34.030 --> 00:21:36.150
AROUND AND CHANGE STORIES.
00:21:36.170 --> 00:21:38.130
I'VE SEEN THE WAY THAT GOD CAN TURN THE TIDE.
00:21:38.150 --> 00:21:41.010
THAT THERE'S NOT A PERIOD AT THE END OF
00:21:41.030 --> 00:21:43.100
ANYBODY'S SENTENCE.
00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:44.270
NO ONE WATCHING US HAS A PERIOD AT THE END OF
00:21:44.290 --> 00:21:46.190
YOUR SENTENCE.
00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:47.280
NOT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR DAD, EVEN IF
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.170
YOUR DAD IS GONE, GOD CAN STILL STEP INTO THE GAP.
00:21:49.190 --> 00:21:53.000
AND SO THE PENCIL IS STILL IN THE HAND OF GOD,
00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:56.240
AND HE'S STILL WRITING OUR STORIES, AND HE'S
00:21:56.260 --> 00:21:58.090
STILL CHANGING OUR LIVES.
00:21:58.110 --> 00:22:00.170
[APPLAUSE]
00:22:00.190 --> 00:22:01.290
- BEAUTIFUL.
00:22:02.010 --> 00:22:03.100
FATHER'S DAY IS A COUPLE WEEKS AWAY.
00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:05.000
IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS, IT'S JUST AHEAD OF US.
00:22:05.020 --> 00:22:07.220
NOT FORSAKEN IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.260
TONIGHT.
00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:11.040
THE 800 NUMBER IS ON THE SCREEN.
00:22:11.060 --> 00:22:12.180
WE WANT YOU TO GET THIS.
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:13.260
GET IT FOR SOMEBODY.
00:22:13.280 --> 00:22:15.080
THIS INFORMATION IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ALL NIGHT,
00:22:15.100 --> 00:22:17.120
NOT FORSAKEN.
00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:19.110
WE PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE ROLL IN.
00:22:19.130 --> 00:22:21.130
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:22.200
IT WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE BOOK.
00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:23.250
- CHEERS.
00:22:23.270 --> 00:22:25.050
HI, I'M LOUIE GIGLIO AND I'M SITTING HERE WITH MY
00:22:25.070 --> 00:22:26.150
SISTER GINA.
00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:28.160
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR DAD WHOSE NAME ALSO WAS
00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:30.130
LOUIE GIGLIO AND HOW IN 194 HE CREATED THE
00:22:30.150 --> 00:22:32.260
CHICK-FIL-A LOGO.
00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:35.080
- I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT.
00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:36.050
I WAS 7.
00:22:36.070 --> 00:22:37.130
IT WAS ON THE DRAWING BOARD IN HIS OFFICE, I
00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:40.200
SAID, THAT'S REALLY CUTE.
00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:42.100
HE SAID, WHAT IS IT?
00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:43.210
I SAID, I THINK IT'S A ROOSTER.
00:22:43.230 --> 00:22:45.150
[LAUGHTER]
00:22:45.170 --> 00:22:47.050
OR A CHICKEN.
00:22:47.070 --> 00:22:48.290
HE SMILED.
00:22:49.010 --> 00:22:50.080
HE SAID, IT'S A CHICKEN.
00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:51.180
- I LOVE IT, AND I LOVE HOW EVERY TIME I SEE THAT
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.040
LOGO ANYWHERE, IT REMINDS ME THAT OUR EARTHLY
00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:55.050
FATHERS LEAVE OUR MARK ON OUR LIVES WHETHER GOOD
00:22:55.070 --> 00:22:57.080
OR BAD.
00:22:57.100 --> 00:22:58.260
THAT'S WHY I WROTE THE BOOK NOT FORSAKEN SO THAT
00:22:58.280 --> 00:23:00.220
YOU AND I CAN KNOW GOD'S NOT JUST A BIGGER VERSION
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.050
OF OUR EARTHLY FATHER.
00:23:04.070 --> 00:23:05.260
HE'S THE PERFECT VERSION OF OUR EARTHLY FATHER.
00:23:05.280 --> 00:23:08.270
EVERYTHING WE ALWAYS WANTED AND MORE.
00:23:08.290 --> 00:23:11.070
AND WHEN WE SEE THIS, WE LIVE FREE AS THE LOVED
00:23:11.090 --> 00:23:13.130
SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF A PERFECT FATHER.
00:23:13.150 --> 00:23:16.280
[MUSIC]
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.170
[APPLAUSE]
00:23:19.190 --> 00:23:21.180
- WE'RE ON THIS SUBJECT ALL NIGHT TONIGHT WITH
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.280
LOUIE GIGLIO, NOT FORSAKEN.
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.110
OKAY.
00:23:27.130 --> 00:23:28.210
EARLIER, YOU TALKED ABOUT GETTING A FATHER'S
00:23:28.230 --> 00:23:31.230
BLESSING AS HAVING KIND OF A FOUNDATIONAL STONE.
00:23:31.250 --> 00:23:35.240
I CERTAINLY FEEL THAT WAY IN A WHOLE BUNCH OF WAYS.
00:23:35.260 --> 00:23:39.290
LAURIE AND I RECEIVED MY FATHER'S BLESSING, MY
00:23:40.010 --> 00:23:44.250
MOTHER'S BLESSING, IN A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WAYS
00:23:44.270 --> 00:23:47.150
INCLUDING A HUGE EVENT THAT HAPPENED IN ISRAEL
00:23:47.170 --> 00:23:51.140
WHERE HE PLACED HIS HANDS ON OUR SHOULDERS AND WITH
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.090
JOY AND LOVE, THE MANTLE THAT WAS PLACED ON YOUR
00:23:54.110 --> 00:23:57.230
MOM AND I SO MANY YEARS AGO I NOW PLACE ON YOU.
00:23:57.250 --> 00:24:00.020
ANYWAY, WRITTEN THINGS.
00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:02.140
JUST IT WAS FANTASTIC.
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.290
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER.
00:24:04.010 --> 00:24:05.080
I WAS PRESENT AT MY FATHER'S PASSING, AT MY
00:24:05.100 --> 00:24:07.160
MOTHER'S PASSING.
00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:09.070
OUR FAMILY WAS, LAURIE AND ME AND MY 2 BOYS WERE
00:24:09.090 --> 00:24:13.030
WITH MY PARENTS BOTH WHEN THEY PASSED, AND SO LOOK,
00:24:13.050 --> 00:24:17.170
IT'S NEVER GOOD WHEN YOUR PARENTS PASS, BUT IF YOU
00:24:17.190 --> 00:24:23.040
COULD WRITE A SCRIPT ABOUT HOW IT COULD
00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:26.020
HAPPEN, WE EXPERIENCED A PRETTY GOOD VERSION
00:24:26.040 --> 00:24:28.190
OF THAT.
00:24:28.210 --> 00:24:30.080
AND OFTEN TIMES WHEN PEOPLE SAY TBN IS 31
00:24:30.100 --> 00:24:35.260
NETWORKS, 17 LANGUAGE NETWORKS, 24 HOURS A DAY,
00:24:35.280 --> 00:24:40.010
WE HAVE OFFICES ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND YOU GUYS
00:24:40.030 --> 00:24:43.180
MUST JUST BE PULLING YOUR HAIR OUT, AND OFTEN TIMES
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.010
I JUST SAY NO, NO BECAUSE MY PARENTS DID SUCH A
00:24:47.030 --> 00:24:51.120
GREAT JOB PREPARING US.
00:24:51.140 --> 00:24:53.100
WE KNEW WHAT POSITION WE'D BE FILLING LONG
00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:55.240
BEFORE THEY WERE GONE.
00:24:55.260 --> 00:24:58.210
AND THEY DID LOTS OF PREPARATION, AND WE IN
00:24:58.230 --> 00:25:02.150
ONE SENSE FEEL VERY HAND IN GLOVE FIT FOR WHAT GOD
00:25:02.170 --> 00:25:08.240
HAS US DOING.
00:25:08.260 --> 00:25:10.270
AND IT'S NOT A STRAIN, AND WE DON'T FREAK OUT.
00:25:10.290 --> 00:25:13.260
- WELL, SOMETIMES.
00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:15.250
[LAUGHTER] - WE LOVE SITTING HERE TALKING
00:25:15.270 --> 00:25:20.070
SUBJECTS THAT IMPACT.
00:25:20.090 --> 00:25:22.100
SO AS I SIT HERE I THINK OF THE BLESSING AND THE
00:25:22.120 --> 00:25:28.070
FOUNDATIONAL STONE THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT, BUT I
00:25:28.090 --> 00:25:31.220
CAN ALSO THINK OF MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE A
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:35.060
MISSING STONE, AND I CAN THINK OF A FEW THAT WOULD
00:25:35.080 --> 00:25:40.050
SWEAR TO YOU AND I IF THEY WERE SITTING HERE IN
00:25:40.070 --> 00:25:43.240
THIS INTERVIEW THERE ISN'T A GAP, I DON'T HAVE
00:25:43.260 --> 00:25:46.180
THAT STONE, I DIDN'T GET THAT BLESSING, BUT I
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.270
DON'T NEED IT.
00:25:48.290 --> 00:25:50.290
DON'T WANT IT.
00:25:51.010 --> 00:25:52.240
AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO TALK
00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:54.070
ABOUT, OKAY.
00:25:54.090 --> 00:25:55.210
- YEAH.
00:25:55.230 --> 00:25:57.110
YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE
00:25:57.130 --> 00:26:00.030
THEM AT THEIR WORD, BUT LIFE EXPERIENCE DOESN'T
00:26:00.050 --> 00:26:02.000
BEAR THAT OUT.
00:26:02.020 --> 00:26:03.240
AND I THINK THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT US COMING THROUGH
00:26:03.260 --> 00:26:06.150
OUR 20'S AND 30'S WE MAY BE DEFINED, BUT YOU KNOW
00:26:06.170 --> 00:26:08.160
WHEN MY DAD WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, SECOND BRAIN
00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:10.200
SURGERY, MY DAD SAID TO ME, SO THIS IS AFTER THE
00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:14.250
WHOLE PREACHING AT FIRST BAPTIST THING, A FEW
00:26:14.270 --> 00:26:17.100
YEARS LATER, AND MY DAD IS MAYBE 62 YEARS OLD,
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:20.110
AND I'M TRYING TO SHARE JESUS WITH HIM.
00:26:20.130 --> 00:26:23.040
WE'RE SITTING IN PIEDMONT HOSPITAL AND I'M AT THE
00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:26.060
END OF HIS BED TELLING HIM GOD LOVES HIM AND
00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:28.240
CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIM, TELLING HIM HE CAN
00:26:28.260 --> 00:26:31.070
HAVE A TURNAROUND EVEN AT 62, AND MY DAD LOOKED AT
00:26:31.090 --> 00:26:34.190
ME, AND HE SAID SOMETHING HE'D NEVER SAID TO ME IN
00:26:34.210 --> 00:26:38.040
HIS LIFE.
00:26:38.060 --> 00:26:39.270
HE SAID ACE, NO ONE EVER LOVED ME AND NO ONE EVER
00:26:39.290 --> 00:26:45.120
WANTED ME, AND I DON'T BELIEVE GOD LOVES ME AND
00:26:45.140 --> 00:26:48.290
I DON'T BELIEVE GOD WANTS ME EITHER.
00:26:49.010 --> 00:26:50.110
- WOW.
00:26:50.130 --> 00:26:52.200
- AND YOU KNOW I IMMEDIATELY SAW MY DAD AS
00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:57.080
A SON FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:26:57.100 --> 00:26:59.050
UP UNTIL THAT POINT IN MY LIFE, I WAS 30 SOMETHING
00:26:59.070 --> 00:27:01.020
YEARS OLD, HE'D ALWAYS BEEN MY FATHER.
00:27:01.040 --> 00:27:03.000
BUT IN AN INSTANT I SAW HIM AS SOMEONE'S SON.
00:27:03.020 --> 00:27:06.120
I NEVER KNEW MY GRANDFATHER AND HE NEVER
00:27:06.140 --> 00:27:08.130
LIVED WITH HIS MOTHER OR FATHER.
00:27:08.150 --> 00:27:10.060
HE WAS A SINGLE CHILD PASSED AROUND FROM
00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:11.260
GRANDMOTHER TO AUNT, UNSTABLE CHILDHOOD, NEVER
00:27:11.280 --> 00:27:13.260
FELT LOVED.
00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:16.000
NEVER FELT WANTED.
00:27:16.020 --> 00:27:17.120
NEVER FELT VALUED, AND NEVER GOT THE BLESSING.
00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:19.140
AND HERE HE IS AT 62, HE CREATED THE CHICK FIL A
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.120
LOGO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:24.010
HE'S CREATED MARKS ALL OVER THE CITY OF ATLANTA.
00:27:24.030 --> 00:27:26.150
HE'S BRILLIANT, ACCOMPLISHED BUT IN HIS
00:27:26.170 --> 00:27:29.290
HEART HE STILL FEELS THE GAP, AND EVEN THOUGH HE'D
00:27:30.010 --> 00:27:34.090
NEVER SPOKEN IT FOR 6 TWO YEARS IT WAS THERE.
00:27:34.110 --> 00:27:37.120
AND IT WAS UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.
00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:40.020
SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:27:40.040 --> 00:27:42.290
WATCHING US, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU THIS ISN'T
00:27:43.010 --> 00:27:45.020
EASY STUFF.
00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:46.200
I STOPPED EVERY TIME I WROTE ON THIS BOOK OVER
00:27:46.220 --> 00:27:49.150
THE COURSE OF A YEAR AND PRAYED FOR YOU.
00:27:49.170 --> 00:27:51.160
EVERY TIME I WROTE, I STOPPED AND PRAYED FOR YOU.
00:27:51.180 --> 00:27:54.090
BEFORE I WROTE, I PRAYED FOR YOU.
00:27:54.110 --> 00:27:55.240
AFTER I FINISHED, I PRAYED FOR YOU BECAUSE
00:27:55.260 --> 00:27:58.090
THIS IS TOUGH STUFF.
00:27:58.110 --> 00:28:00.070
IT'S NOT EASY.
00:28:00.090 --> 00:28:01.290
AND YOU HAVE TO FACE IT THOUGH.
00:28:02.010 --> 00:28:03.180
YOU HAVE TO DEAL IF YOU WANT TO HEAL.
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.280
MY DAD CAME HOME FROM EUROPE WHEN I WAS ABOUT TEN.
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:09.070
HE'D WORKED IN EUROPE FOR SIX MONTHS, AND THIS WAS,
00:28:09.090 --> 00:28:11.080
AGAIN, NO TEXTS, NO PHONE CALL.
00:28:11.110 --> 00:28:14.000
THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAY.
00:28:14.020 --> 00:28:16.020
HE COME, HE OPEN HIS SUITCASE, AND HE'S GOT
00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:17.170
GIFTS FOR EVERYBODY.
00:28:17.190 --> 00:28:18.240
I GOT A SWISS ARMY KNIFE.
00:28:18.260 --> 00:28:20.080
I MEAN, THE ONE THAT HAS 15 THING ON IT, A
00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:21.200
CORKSCREW, LIKE A TEN YEAR-OLD NEED A CORKSCREW.
00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:24.030
IT HAD SOME TWEEZERS YOU COULD PULL OUT, A TOOTH
00:28:24.050 --> 00:28:26.090
PICK, A PAIR OF SCISSORS ON IT.
00:28:26.110 --> 00:28:28.270
I MEAN, THIS THING WAS AMAZING, IT HAD TWO KNIFE
00:28:28.290 --> 00:28:31.060
BLADES, AND ONE OF THEM WAS ABOUT THAT BIG.
00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:32.250
MY MOM, SHE FREAKED.
00:28:32.270 --> 00:28:34.260
SHE'S LIKE, WHY THANK YOU BRING HIM A KNIFE?
00:28:34.280 --> 00:28:36.190
AND HE SAID, I'M GOING TO SHOW HIM HOW TO USE IT.
00:28:36.210 --> 00:28:38.110
HE SAYS, LET ME SHOW YOU, SON.
00:28:38.130 --> 00:28:40.070
WHEN YOU USE THE KNIFE, ALWAYS AWAY FROM YOUR
00:28:40.090 --> 00:28:41.250
BODY. ALWAYS AWAY.
00:28:41.270 --> 00:28:43.170
AND HE HAND IT TO ME, SHOW ME.
00:28:43.190 --> 00:28:45.210
I SAID, DAD, I GOT IT. ALWAYS AWAY, ALWAYS AWAY.
00:28:45.230 --> 00:28:47.100
TWO WEEKS LATER, MY PARENTS HAVE FRIEND OVER
00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:49.110
PLAYING CARD IN THE DEN.
00:28:49.130 --> 00:28:51.010
I DECIDE IT'S MY NIGHT TO BEGIN MY WHITTLING
00:28:51.030 --> 00:28:52.200
CAREER, MY CARVING CAREER.
00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:55.010
SO I TAKE A FOUR BY FOUR BLOCK OF WOOD THAT IS
00:28:55.030 --> 00:28:57.110
LEFT OVER FROM MY DAD BUILDING A STEREO CABINET.
00:28:57.130 --> 00:29:00.060
I GO IN MY PARENTS' BATHROOM AND LOCK THE
00:29:00.080 --> 00:29:03.080
DOOR, SIT DOWN ON THE TOILET DRESSED.
00:29:03.100 --> 00:29:06.180
- THIS ISN'T GOING TO END WELL.
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.050
- I DON'T WANT TO FREAK ANYBODY OUT.
00:29:08.070 --> 00:29:09.290
AND I SIT THERE WITH THE BLOCK OF WOOD.
00:29:10.010 --> 00:29:11.150
I'M TEN YEARS OLD ABOUT THIS BIG, AND I START WHITTLING.
00:29:11.170 --> 00:29:13.070
WELL, THIS IS PRESSURE-TREATED LUMBER.
00:29:13.090 --> 00:29:15.100
THERE'S NOTHING HAPPENING, AND I'M LIKE,
00:29:15.120 --> 00:29:17.000
THIS IS NOT WORKING.
00:29:17.020 --> 00:29:18.090
I WANT TO CARVE SOMETHING.
00:29:18.110 --> 00:29:19.260
AND AT SOME POINT, I TURN THAT KNIFE AND DIG IN AS
00:29:19.280 --> 00:29:21.250
HARD AS I CAN, AND THE KNIFE SLIPS, AND IT GOES
00:29:21.270 --> 00:29:26.120
RIGHT THROUGH THAT WEBBING RIGHT THERE
00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:28.270
BETWEEN MY THUMB AND MY IN TEXT FINGER.
00:29:28.290 --> 00:29:30.180
THE SCAR NOW HAS MOVED OVER HERE BECAUSE I'M OLD.
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.020
BUT IT USED TO BE RIGHT HERE.
00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:35.010
I GRAB THE TOILET PAPER, PUT IT OVER IT,
00:29:35.030 --> 00:29:37.010
AND I DID WHAT WE ALL DO.
00:29:37.030 --> 00:29:38.290
HAVE YOU EVER DONE THIS WHEN YOU CUT YOURSELF?
00:29:39.010 --> 00:29:40.240
I HOLD MY BREATH FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN I LOOKED
00:29:40.260 --> 00:29:43.010
AT IT TO SEE IF IT WAS STILL THERE, AND IT WAS
00:29:43.030 --> 00:29:44.240
IN FACT STILL THERE.
00:29:44.260 --> 00:29:46.160
COVERED IT BACK UP, AND SO I KNOW I'VE GOT TO GO
00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:48.220
INTERRUPT THE DEAL.
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:50.130
IS I GO INTO THE DEN, AND I GO UP BEHIND MY MOM,
00:29:50.150 --> 00:29:52.180
AND MY MOM WAS A SAINT.
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:54.240
SHE WAS THE GREATEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
00:29:54.260 --> 00:29:56.120
SHE'S THE REASON WHY I'M SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW,
00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:58.030
BUT SHE WAS NOT THE FIRST RESPONDER YOU WANTED WHEN
00:29:58.050 --> 00:30:00.000
YOU HURT YOURSELF.
00:30:00.020 --> 00:30:01.230
[LAUGHTER]
00:30:01.250 --> 00:30:03.180
MORE THAN ONCE MY MOM TOLD ME, ARE YOU
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.070
BLEEDING? STAY ON THE PORCH. SO I'M LIKE, OKAY.
00:30:05.090 --> 00:30:07.220
DON'T COME IN THE HOUSE.
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.200
SO I SAID, MOM, MOM, I CUT MY HAND.
00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:11.270
AND SHE SAID, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
00:30:11.290 --> 00:30:14.000
I SLIPPED WITH THE KNIFE.
00:30:14.020 --> 00:30:16.200
SHE SAID, DON'T BLEED ON THE CARPET.
00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:18.220
AND SO LONG STORY SHORT, THAT NIGHT, I'M THINKING
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.070
99.999% OF FAMILIES WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE ER THAT
00:30:22.090 --> 00:30:25.000
NIGHT, BUT WE WERE THE STATISTICAL
00:30:25.020 --> 00:30:27.270
ANOMALY IN OUR HOUSEHOLD.
00:30:27.290 --> 00:30:29.270
SO WE PUT A BIG BAND AID ON IT, AND WE WRAPPED IT
00:30:29.290 --> 00:30:32.280
UP WITH GAUZE, PUT SOME BACTINE ON PROBABLY.
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:36.230
AND MY MOM SAID, LET SEE HOW IT'S TO GO IN THE MORNING.
00:30:36.250 --> 00:30:39.280
WELL, IN THE MORNING, IT WAS STILL A GIANT TWO
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.260
INCH GASH IN MY HAND, AND FOR TWO WEEK, EVERY FOUR
00:30:41.280 --> 00:30:45.100
OR FIVE DAYS, WE WOULD UNWRAP TO CHECK, AND IT
00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:48.010
WOULD JUST GET WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE.
00:30:48.030 --> 00:30:51.170
AND UNTIL FINALLY MY MOM SAID, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:30:51.190 --> 00:30:53.220
TO DO A REALLY DEEP CLEAN ON THIS THING, NOT GO TO
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.200
THE HOSPITAL STILL. - OH, LORD.
00:30:56.220 --> 00:30:58.150
- BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CLEAN THIS THING
00:30:58.170 --> 00:31:00.180
OUT, AND IT WAS SO AWFUL.
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.130
AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD, IT HEALED, AND I HAVE A
00:31:02.150 --> 00:31:04.240
THUMB ON MY LEFT BE HAND RIGHT NOW.
00:31:04.260 --> 00:31:06.110
[APPLAUSE]
00:31:06.130 --> 00:31:09.120
BUT THE POINT OF IT IS WE CAN'T JUST SAY, WOW, MY
00:31:09.140 --> 00:31:12.240
DAD WALKED OUT ON OUR FAMILY, OR MY DAD WAS
00:31:12.260 --> 00:31:15.030
ABUSIVE, OR MY DAD WAS AN ANTAGONISTIC FATHER, AND
00:31:15.050 --> 00:31:18.080
I'M JUST GOING TO WRAP THAT WITH SUCCESS OR WITH
00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:21.140
SOMETHING TO NUMB THE PAIN OR WITH
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.180
ACCOMPLISHMENT AND JUST ACT LIKE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:27.000
WE HAVE TO LET GOD UNWRAP, AND WE HAVE TO
00:31:27.020 --> 00:31:30.190
FACE IT AND LET THE POWER OF THE CROSS COME INTO
00:31:30.210 --> 00:31:34.000
THAT HURT, INTO THOSE WOUNDS AND HEAL THEM SO
00:31:34.020 --> 00:31:37.040
THAT THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH GOD IN THE GAP.
00:31:37.060 --> 00:31:40.220
- HOW DO WE EVEN START DOING THAT?
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:43.020
- WHERE'S THE BEGINNING PLACE?
00:31:43.040 --> 00:31:45.100
I GUESS ADMITTING THERE IS A GAP BECAUSE A LOT OF
00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:48.150
PEOPLE ARE STILL SITTING HERE WATCHING THIS GOING,
00:31:48.170 --> 00:31:51.020
YEAH, I DON'T CARE I THINK.
00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:53.120
- I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE, I KNOW THERE'S
00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:55.260
A GAP, I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.
00:31:55.280 --> 00:31:57.220
SO YOU GOT TO GO THERE, BUT YOU DON'T
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.130
HAVE TO GO THERE ALONE.
00:31:59.150 --> 00:32:01.130
GOD WILL GO THERE WITH YOU.
00:32:01.150 --> 00:32:03.090
HE'LL GO THERE TO THAT GAP WITH YOU.
00:32:03.110 --> 00:32:05.030
YOU'RE LIKE, WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE GAP?
00:32:05.050 --> 00:32:06.260
WELL, JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU.
00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:08.250
HE DIED IN OUR PLACE, AND WHEN HE DIED, WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:32:08.270 --> 00:32:12.230
HIS NEXT TO LAST PHRASE ON PLANET EARTH, HE SAID,
00:32:12.250 --> 00:32:16.080
MY GOD -- YOU SAY IT WITH ME -- MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY
00:32:16.100 --> 00:32:19.180
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME? SO JESUS WAS FORSAKEN.
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:26.270
GOD THE FATHER -- THINK ABOUT THIS -- WALKED OUT
00:32:26.290 --> 00:32:29.140
ON HIS SON AT THE MOMENT HE NEEDED HIM MOST.
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:34.280
WHY DID HE DO THAT?
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:36.290
SO THAT YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN, SO THAT YOU
00:32:37.010 --> 00:32:39.130
COULD KNOW THAT YOU'RE LOVED, SO THAT YOU HAVE A
00:32:39.150 --> 00:32:41.140
PLACE WITH GOD, SO THAT YOU HAVE A BRAND NEW
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:43.030
START, SO THAT YOU HAVE A FOREVER, AND YOU HAVE
00:32:43.050 --> 00:32:45.120
CHRIST AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE.
00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:47.020
THAT'S WHY GOD FORSOOK HIS SON.
00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:49.230
AND THAT SON WAS FORSAKEN SO THAT YOU WOULD NEVER
00:32:49.250 --> 00:32:53.100
HAVE TO BE FORSAKEN BY YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:32:53.120 --> 00:32:57.200
AND THAT'S WHY HE CAN SAY, I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU
00:32:57.220 --> 00:33:00.120
OR FORSAKE YOU. I WILL WALK TO THE GAP WITH YOU.
00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:03.060
I'LL STAND IN THE GAP WITH YOU, AND I'LL LIFT
00:33:03.080 --> 00:33:06.000
YOUR EYES UP NOT TO SOME BOOK OR SOME IDEA.
00:33:06.020 --> 00:33:08.190
I WANT TO LIFT YOUR EYES UP TO CALVARY.
00:33:08.210 --> 00:33:12.170
I WANT TO LIFT YOUR EYES UP TO THE CROSS WHERE
00:33:12.190 --> 00:33:14.220
JESUS WAS GASHED FOR YOU.
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:19.010
AND I WANT YOU TO SEE THE WOUNDS IN HIS HANDS, THE
00:33:19.030 --> 00:33:21.120
WOUND IN HIS SIDE, THE WOUNDS IN HIS FEET, AND I
00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:24.130
WANT YOU TO SEE IN THOSE WOUND THAT THERE
00:33:24.150 --> 00:33:27.210
IS POWER TO HEAL.
00:33:27.230 --> 00:33:29.190
AND I WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT POWER AND
00:33:29.210 --> 00:33:31.220
BRING IT INTO YOUR WOUND.
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.120
BRING THAT POWER FROM JESUS.
00:33:33.140 --> 00:33:35.110
WE DON'T GET HEALED BY FIXATING ON OUR WOUNDS.
00:33:35.130 --> 00:33:39.170
WE GET HEALED BY FIXATING ON JESUS' WOUNDS FOR US,
00:33:39.190 --> 00:33:44.190
AND WE REALIZE IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE TO
00:33:44.210 --> 00:33:47.060
US, IT IS ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE FOR US WHEN CHRIST
00:33:47.080 --> 00:33:50.220
GAVE HIS LIFE ON THE CROSS.
00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.240
AND FOCUSING ON THAT CROSS IS A GAME-CHANGING,
00:33:53.260 --> 00:33:57.130
REVOLUTIONARY, POWERFUL, TRANSFORMATIONAL EXERCISE
00:33:57.150 --> 00:34:04.040
THAT BRINGS US INTO THE LOVE OF GOD, INTO THE
00:34:04.060 --> 00:34:07.030
CONFIDENCE THAT GOD IS WORKING, INTO THE
00:34:07.050 --> 00:34:09.090
CONFIDENCE THAT GOD TAKES THE WORST AND MAKE THE
00:34:09.110 --> 00:34:11.260
BEST, AND HE WANTS TO DO THAT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.190
LIFT YOUR EYES TO SEE THE CHRIST WHO WAS FORSAKEN
00:34:14.210 --> 00:34:18.120
SO THAT YOU COULD BE FREE. [APPLAUSE]
00:34:18.140 --> 00:34:23.170
- OKAY, LOUIE, WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR THE
00:34:23.190 --> 00:34:25.160
AUDIENCE HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.
00:34:25.180 --> 00:34:27.070
I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF -- WE GOT
00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:29.110
ABOUT 20 MINUTES LEFT IN THE BROADCAST, AND WE'RE
00:34:29.130 --> 00:34:31.290
TALKING ABOUT NOT FORSAKEN.
00:34:32.010 --> 00:34:33.250
IT'S FATHER'S DAY COMING UP.
00:34:33.270 --> 00:34:35.110
GET THIS BOOK.
00:34:35.130 --> 00:34:37.160
CALL THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN, AND GET IT FOR SOMEBODY.
00:34:37.180 --> 00:34:40.260
YOU KNOW WHO YOU NEED TO GET IT FOR RIGHT NOW.
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:43.260
YOU'RE ALREADY AWARE OF THAT, EITHER FOR YOURSELF
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:46.210
OR FOR SOMEBODY.
00:34:46.230 --> 00:34:48.280
AND I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR EVERYONE, BUT I WANT
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.160
-- THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT YOU TO DO.
00:34:51.180 --> 00:34:56.050
THERE WAS AN EVENT THAT HAPPENED AS YOU WERE KIND
00:34:56.070 --> 00:34:59.240
OF FINISHING THIS BOOK, AND YOU HAVE SOME
00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:03.020
POLAROID PICTURES DOWN HERE THAT I DON'T
00:35:03.040 --> 00:35:05.090
WANT TO FORGET TO USE.
00:35:05.110 --> 00:35:07.130
BUT I WANT YOU TO, IF YOU WOULD, AT THE END OF THE
00:35:07.150 --> 00:35:10.010
BROADCAST, I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE
00:35:10.030 --> 00:35:12.150
THAT GETS THAT GAP STARTED TO BE FILLED AND
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:16.170
GET PEOPLE ON THIS ROAD TO -- AT SOME POINT,
00:35:16.190 --> 00:35:23.110
FULFILLING SOMETHING THAT WHETHER YOU WANT TO ADMIT
00:35:23.130 --> 00:35:26.050
YOU NEED IT OR NOT, YOU NEED IT, OR YOU WANT IT,
00:35:26.070 --> 00:35:28.250
YOU DESIRE IT, AND THAT'S WHY JESUS, GOD, IS OUR FATHER.
00:35:28.270 --> 00:35:32.140
WE LEARN ABOUT HIM 189 TIMES.
00:35:32.160 --> 00:35:36.030
- 189 TIMES IN THE FOUR GOSPELS ALONE.
00:35:36.050 --> 00:35:39.280
IT'S POWERFUL, AND I BROUGHT A COUPLE OF POLAROIDS.
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.270
THIS ONE IS ME AND MY DAD, 1968.
00:35:41.290 --> 00:35:45.230
THIS SAYS FAMILY VACATION FOR THE GIGLIOS.
00:35:45.250 --> 00:35:47.270
THIS IS DESTIN, FLORIDA, OR ACTUALLY FORT WALTON
00:35:47.290 --> 00:35:51.040
BEACH FLORIDA.
00:35:51.060 --> 00:35:52.270
WE CAUGHT SOME KING MACKEREL THAT DAY
00:35:52.290 --> 00:35:54.150
IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.
00:35:54.170 --> 00:35:56.050
LOOK AT MY DAD, BY THE WAY.
00:35:56.070 --> 00:35:57.170
THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL ZERO PERCENT BODY FAT RIGHT THERE.
00:35:57.190 --> 00:35:58.280
- YEAH.
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.210
- ALL OF 137 POUNDS, BUT LOOK HOW WE'RE STANDING.
00:36:00.230 --> 00:36:02.270
IT JUST SHOWS US THAT WE ARE THE PRODUCT
00:36:02.290 --> 00:36:05.290
OF OUR EARTHLY FATHERS.
00:36:06.010 --> 00:36:07.230
WE LOOK LIKE THEM, WE ACT LIKE THEM,
00:36:07.250 --> 00:36:09.080
WE STAND LIKE THEM.
00:36:09.100 --> 00:36:10.240
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH SOMEBODY THAT.
00:36:10.260 --> 00:36:12.060
I LOVE THIS OTHER ONE.
00:36:12.080 --> 00:36:13.170
THIS WAS WHEN I WAS A LOT YOUNGER, AND IT SNOWED IN
00:36:13.190 --> 00:36:16.090
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND MY DAD WENT OUT
00:36:16.110 --> 00:36:18.050
AND BUILT A SNOWMAN.
00:36:18.070 --> 00:36:19.260
NOW, MOST DADS WENT OUT AND BUILT SNOWMEN, BUT
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:21.220
THEY BUILT THEM WITH THREE ROUND BALLS OF SNOW
00:36:21.240 --> 00:36:25.010
AND A FEW STICKS AND MAYBE SOME ROCKS.
00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:26.220
MY DAD SCULPTS THIS THING IN THE FRONT YARD IN IT
00:36:26.240 --> 00:36:30.140
LOOKS LIKE A PRESIDENT.
00:36:30.160 --> 00:36:33.040
- IT LOOKS LIKE ABRAHAM LINCOLN OR SOMETHING.
00:36:33.060 --> 00:36:35.000
- IT LOOKS A LITTLE SCARY, HONESTLY, IF YOU'RE MY AGE.
00:36:35.020 --> 00:36:36.230
IN THE DEAL, I THINK I'M CLING TO GO MY LAMB
00:36:36.250 --> 00:36:38.170
DEARLY RIGHT THERE.
00:36:38.190 --> 00:36:40.220
BUT IF YOU WONDER WHY I THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
00:36:40.240 --> 00:36:43.230
SOMETIMES, I THINK IT STARTED WITH THAT
00:36:43.250 --> 00:36:45.110
SNOWMAN RIGHT THERE.
00:36:45.130 --> 00:36:47.060
AND THE THING I WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE
00:36:47.080 --> 00:36:49.090
UNDERSTAND IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT OUR EARTHLY
00:36:49.110 --> 00:36:51.160
FATHER'S STORY, AND WE ALL HAVE ONE, THAT GOD
00:36:51.180 --> 00:36:55.040
ISN'T THE REFLECTION OF OUR EARTHLY FATHER.
00:36:55.060 --> 00:36:57.260
HE'S THE PERFECTION OF OUR EARTHLY FATHER.
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:01.070
HE'S EVERYTHING YOU WANTED YOUR DAD TO BE AND
00:37:01.090 --> 00:37:05.050
MORE BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME --
00:37:05.070 --> 00:37:08.010
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PREACHING THIS MESSAGE
00:37:08.030 --> 00:37:10.000
FOR 30 YEARS -- AND THEY SAY, LOOK, IF GOD IS
00:37:10.020 --> 00:37:12.030
LIKE MY DAD, I'M OUT.
00:37:12.050 --> 00:37:14.100
AND I SAY, GOD IS NOT JUST A BIGGER VERSION OF
00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:17.000
YOUR DAD, THE ONE THAT WALKED OUT ON YOU, OR THE
00:37:17.020 --> 00:37:19.130
ONE THAT HURT YOU, OR THE ONE THAT WAS
00:37:19.150 --> 00:37:21.100
DISINTERESTED IN YOU, OR THE ONE THAT DIED AND
00:37:21.120 --> 00:37:23.070
ABANDONED YOUR FAMILY.
00:37:23.090 --> 00:37:25.080
GOD ISN'T JUST A BIGGER VERSION OF YOUR DAD.
00:37:25.100 --> 00:37:27.080
HE'S THE PERFECT VERSION OF YOUR DAD.
00:37:27.100 --> 00:37:30.150
AND ALL OF US CAN IMAGINE THAT.
00:37:30.170 --> 00:37:32.180
ANOTHER YOUNG MAN SAID TO ME, THIS BRINGS UP A LOT
00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:34.150
IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
00:37:34.170 --> 00:37:36.160
ANOTHER YOUNG GUY SAID TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO,
00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:38.110
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT, LOUIE.
00:37:38.130 --> 00:37:40.010
I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE A DAD WHO WOULD BLESS ME
00:37:40.030 --> 00:37:42.060
AND LOVE ME AND WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN MY LIFE.
00:37:42.080 --> 00:37:44.020
I SAID, YES, YOU CAN.
00:37:44.040 --> 00:37:45.270
I SAID, DID YOU EVER IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD
00:37:45.290 --> 00:37:47.270
BE LIKE IF YOUR DAD SOBERED UP?
00:37:47.290 --> 00:37:49.130
HE SAID, OH, YEAH.
00:37:49.150 --> 00:37:51.050
DID YOU EVER IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE
00:37:51.070 --> 00:37:52.150
IF HE SHOWED UP?
00:37:52.170 --> 00:37:54.090
AND HE SAID, YEAH, LIKE I WONDERED WHAT IT WOULD
00:37:54.110 --> 00:37:56.230
HAVE BEEN LIKE IF HE SHOWED UP WHEN MY
00:37:56.250 --> 00:37:58.160
DAUGHTER WAS BORN, CAME THROUGH THE DOOR AND HELD
00:37:58.180 --> 00:38:00.120
HER IN HIS ARMS.
00:38:00.140 --> 00:38:02.230
I SAID, DID YOU EVER WISH HE JUST SAT AT THE END OF
00:38:02.250 --> 00:38:05.220
THE BED AND SAID, HOW ARE YOU AND WHAT'S GOING ON
00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:07.170
IN YOUR LIFE? A THOUSAND TIMES I IMAGINED THAT.
00:38:07.190 --> 00:38:10.250
I SAID, LET THAT IMAGINATION PAVE A WAY
00:38:10.270 --> 00:38:14.110
FOR YOU TO THE WORD OF GOD TO SEE THAT THERE IS
00:38:14.130 --> 00:38:17.040
A GOD WHO DOES SIT AT THE END OF THE BED.
00:38:17.060 --> 00:38:20.020
HE DOES COME THROUGH THE DOOR EVERY SINGLE TIME.
00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:23.060
HE DOES SHOW UP IN THE GOOD TIMES,
00:38:23.080 --> 00:38:26.240
IN THE BAD TIMES OF LIFE.
00:38:26.260 --> 00:38:29.020
I SAID, I KNOW THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT BECAUSE
00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:30.270
YOU HAVE IMAGINED IT YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
00:38:30.290 --> 00:38:33.100
AND GOD SAYS ABOUT HIM, HE IS A FATHER TO THE
00:38:33.120 --> 00:38:37.040
FATHERLESS, IS GOD IN HIS HOLY HABITATION.
00:38:37.060 --> 00:38:40.240
HE SAYS, EVEN IF MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER
00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:43.290
FORSAKE ME, THE LORD WILL TAKE ME UP.
00:38:44.010 --> 00:38:47.040
THIS IS THE PROMISE FOR EVERY ONE OF US.
00:38:47.060 --> 00:38:49.070
THIS IS THE PROMISE OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:51.190
HE WANTS TO BE A FATHER TO THE FATHERLESS.
00:38:51.210 --> 00:38:54.210
[MUSIC]
00:38:54.230 --> 00:39:02.170
- HI, I'M LOUIE GIGLIO, AND I JUST FINISHED MY
00:39:02.190 --> 00:39:04.180
NEW BOOK "NOT FORSAKEN", A BOOK ALL ABOUT HOW EACH
00:39:04.200 --> 00:39:08.220
ONE OF US CAN LIVE IN THE BLESSING OF A PERFECT
00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:12.210
HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:39:12.230 --> 00:39:14.120
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP
00:39:14.140 --> 00:39:16.050
YOU HAD WITH YOUR EARTHLY DAD.
00:39:16.070 --> 00:39:18.010
I KNOW MY DAD WAS A GREAT DAD, BUT HE WASN'T PERFECT.
00:39:18.030 --> 00:39:20.110
BUT WHATEVER THAT RELATIONSHIP WAS, EVERY
00:39:20.130 --> 00:39:23.070
ONE OF US LONG TO HAVE THE BLESSING, THE LOVE,
00:39:23.090 --> 00:39:26.140
THE ACCEPTANCE, THE APPROVAL, THE INVOLVEMENT
00:39:26.160 --> 00:39:29.160
OF OUR FATHERS IN OUR LIVES.
00:39:29.180 --> 00:39:32.110
AND JUST AT THE END OF THE PROCESS OF WRITING
00:39:32.130 --> 00:39:35.080
THIS BOOK, IT WAS AS IF GOD JUST WANTED TO
00:39:35.100 --> 00:39:37.200
BREATHE THAT BLESSING ON MY LIFE IN A REALLY
00:39:37.220 --> 00:39:40.290
PERSONAL AND POWERFUL WAY.
00:39:41.010 --> 00:39:43.050
I'M FINISHING UP THE VERY LAST BIT OF THE
00:39:43.070 --> 00:39:46.020
MANUSCRIPT AND THROUGH A CRAZY SET OF
00:39:46.040 --> 00:39:48.290
CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH I TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK, I
00:39:49.010 --> 00:39:51.110
DISCOVERED THAT MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, VITO GIGLIO,
00:39:51.130 --> 00:39:55.290
WAS ACTUALLY BURIED ABOUT 30 MINUTES FROM WHERE I
00:39:56.010 --> 00:40:00.030
WAS SITTING WHILE I WAS WORKING ON THE MANUSCRIPT.
00:40:00.050 --> 00:40:03.060
MY DAD, LOUIE GIGLIO, HAD NEVER, EVER EVEN
00:40:03.080 --> 00:40:06.130
MENTIONED HIS GRANDFATHER VITO.
00:40:06.150 --> 00:40:09.040
I NEVER KNEW HE LIVED IN ATLANTA.
00:40:09.060 --> 00:40:11.080
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE WAS BURIED UNDER THE FLIGHT
00:40:11.100 --> 00:40:13.200
PATH OF THE ATLANTA AIRPORT, SOMETHING THAT I
00:40:13.220 --> 00:40:16.210
WOULD CROSS OVER MOST OF THE TIME LANDING IN
00:40:16.230 --> 00:40:19.260
ATLANTA OR DEPARTING ATLANTA ON A FLIGHT TO
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.240
SOME OTHER CITY.
00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:24.220
BUT HERE HE WAS BURIED RIGHT IN THE
00:40:24.240 --> 00:40:27.040
PATHWAY OF MY LIFE.
00:40:27.060 --> 00:40:29.200
AND WHEN THIS CAME TO ME, IT CAME WITH THIS PHRASE
00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:32.230
FROM A FAMILY MEMBER WHO SAID, I JUST WANTED YOU
00:40:32.250 --> 00:40:35.060
TO KNOW THIS BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US
00:40:35.080 --> 00:40:39.060
TO HAVE OUR FATHER'S BLESSING.
00:40:39.080 --> 00:40:42.080
IT WAS AS IF GOD WAS JUST FINISHING THE MANUSCRIPT
00:40:42.100 --> 00:40:44.280
OF "NOT FORSAKEN" FOR ALL OF US SAYING, IT DOESN'T
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.060
MATTER WHAT IS IN THE PAST.
00:40:49.080 --> 00:40:51.240
GOD IS WAITING FOR US ALL IN THE PRESENT TO LEAD US
00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:55.190
INTO A FUTURE AS LOVED SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF A
00:40:55.210 --> 00:41:00.030
PERFECT HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:41:00.050 --> 00:41:02.160
HE'S CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW IN THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW,
00:41:02.180 --> 00:41:06.270
AND HE IS WAITING TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES TO SEE THAT
00:41:06.290 --> 00:41:10.290
YOU ARE A LOVED SON, A LOVED DAUGHTER, OF A
00:41:11.010 --> 00:41:14.160
PERFECT HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:41:14.180 --> 00:41:16.170
[APPLAUSE] - I LOVE THAT.
00:41:16.190 --> 00:41:21.080
- UNREAL. YOU KNOW, THIS SUBJECT IS SUCH A HEAVY TOPIC.
00:41:21.100 --> 00:41:25.270
I MEAN, LAURIE'S TALKING ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE
00:41:25.290 --> 00:41:29.240
THOUGHT HER DAD WAS, AND I'M SITTING HERE, I TOLD
00:41:29.260 --> 00:41:32.070
YOU HOW WONDERFUL OF AN EXPERIENCE.
00:41:32.090 --> 00:41:34.180
BUT AS YOU'RE TALKING, AND YOU WERE TALKING
00:41:34.200 --> 00:41:39.020
ABOUT THE WHOLE POOL THING EARLIER, YOU KNOW
00:41:39.040 --> 00:41:41.170
THAT YOU HIT A THING IN MY MEMORY.
00:41:41.190 --> 00:41:47.140
SO I'M NOW IN FIFTH GRADE OR SIXTH GRADE, AND IT
00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:52.060
WAS BEFORE TBN STARTED, AND THE REASON I KNOW
00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:55.150
THAT IS BECAUSE MY MOM AND DAD HEARD THE VOICE
00:41:55.170 --> 00:41:59.060
OF THE LORD TO BE RELEASED FROM THE WORK
00:41:59.080 --> 00:42:02.170
THEY WERE DOING PRIOR TO BEGINNING TBN, SO THERE
00:42:02.190 --> 00:42:05.250
WAS A LITTLE WINDOW OF TIME WHEN MY DAD WAS HOME
00:42:05.270 --> 00:42:08.060
WHEN I GOT BACK FROM SCHOOL.
00:42:08.080 --> 00:42:10.210
ONE TIME, I GOT BACK FROM SCHOOL, MY DAD WAS HOME,
00:42:10.230 --> 00:42:14.170
AND WE ALL WENT DOWN TO THE COMMUNITY POOL DOWN
00:42:14.190 --> 00:42:17.150
AT THE END OF THE STREET.
00:42:17.170 --> 00:42:19.100
THERE WAS KIND OF A COMMUNITY POOL WHERE WE
00:42:19.120 --> 00:42:21.020
GREW UP HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:42:21.040 --> 00:42:22.280
AND I MEAN, I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IN
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:26.180
YEARS, AND I HAD -- AND I'M SITTING HERE, AND I
00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:32.060
CAN REMEMBER IN SLOW MOTION MY DAD DOING A
00:42:32.080 --> 00:42:34.180
CANNON BALL OFF THE DIVING BOARD AND SHOWING
00:42:34.200 --> 00:42:41.120
US KIDS HOW TO DO A MISSOURI CANNON BALL OFF
00:42:41.140 --> 00:42:46.240
THE DIVING BOARD IN THE POOL.
00:42:46.260 --> 00:42:49.000
I'M SITTING HERE GOING THROUGH THESE MEMORIES AS
00:42:49.020 --> 00:42:51.250
A CHILD AND REMEMBERING LAYING ON THE FLOOR WHERE
00:42:51.270 --> 00:42:57.070
MY DAD WOULD BE KIND OF LAYING ON THE FLOOR JUST
00:42:57.090 --> 00:43:00.100
KIND OF STRETCHED OUT LIKE THAT, AND YOU'D JUST
00:43:00.120 --> 00:43:03.060
KIND OF TUCK UP INSIDE THE ARM.
00:43:03.080 --> 00:43:05.120
AND I HAD THE PERFECT EXPERIENCE.
00:43:05.140 --> 00:43:07.230
THINK OF WHAT A NOT PERFECT EXPERIENCE AND
00:43:07.250 --> 00:43:10.070
WHAT A YEARNING FOR THOSE MEMORIES WOULD BE.
00:43:10.090 --> 00:43:12.160
THIS IS SUPER HEAVY STUFF.
00:43:12.180 --> 00:43:15.150
- IT'S POWERFUL, AND YOU KNOW, AFTER WE DID THE
00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:17.290
MISSOURI CANNON BALL WHEN WE WERE THIS TALL, DAD
00:43:18.010 --> 00:43:20.280
WOULD GET IN THE POOL, AND HE WOULD ALWAYS --
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:23.250
EVERY DAD, I DON'T KNOW WHERE DADS LEARN THIS,
00:43:23.270 --> 00:43:26.120
BUT IT WAS LIKE JUMP TO ME BABY GIRL.
00:43:26.140 --> 00:43:29.180
AND SO HERE WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE POOL, MAYBE
00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:31.170
WE CAN'T EVEN SWIM VERY GOOD, BUT DAD'S THERE
00:43:31.190 --> 00:43:33.060
SAYING, JUMP, AND AS SOON AS WE DO, HE CATCHES US,
00:43:33.080 --> 00:43:34.220
BUT THEN WHAT DOES HE DO?
00:43:34.240 --> 00:43:36.080
HE BACKS UP A LITTLE BIT, THEN HE BACKS UP A LITTLE
00:43:36.100 --> 00:43:38.040
MORE, THEN HE BACKS UP A LITTLE MORE AND HE SAYS,
00:43:38.060 --> 00:43:39.290
COME ON, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP.
00:43:40.010 --> 00:43:41.180
AND WE TRUST HIM BECAUSE WE BELIEVE HIS HEART IS
00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:44.260
GOOD, AND WE BELIEVE HIS ARMS ARE STRONG.
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:48.120
NOW, CRAZY BILLY MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THERE ONE
00:43:48.140 --> 00:43:50.130
TIME, AND HIS ARMS WEREN'T THAT STRONG, OR
00:43:50.150 --> 00:43:52.090
MAYBE HIS HEART WASN'T THAT GOOD, AND HE LET US
00:43:52.110 --> 00:43:54.020
GO UNDER FOR A MINUTE, THEN PULLED US OUT.
00:43:54.040 --> 00:43:55.260
BUT MOST OF OUR DADS AT THE EDGE OF THE POOL,
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.090
THEIR HEARTS WERE GOOD, AND THEIR ARMS WERE
00:43:58.110 --> 00:44:01.170
STRONG, AND SO WE TOOK THE LEAP.
00:44:01.190 --> 00:44:04.100
BUT IF WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE OUR RELATIONSHIP
00:44:04.120 --> 00:44:08.290
WITH OUR EARTHLY FATHER WAS BROKEN OR DAMAGED OR
00:44:09.010 --> 00:44:10.250
WAS NEVER THERE, SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW
00:44:10.270 --> 00:44:12.190
WHO THEIR FATHER WAS, THEN HIS ARMS CERTAINLY
00:44:12.210 --> 00:44:16.200
WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH, AND HIS HEART WASN'T GOOD.
00:44:16.220 --> 00:44:19.090
AND THEY MIGHT WANT TO TRANSFER THAT TO GOD AND
00:44:19.110 --> 00:44:22.050
SAY, CAN I TRUST HIM?
00:44:22.070 --> 00:44:23.270
CAN I REALLY TRUST MY DAD?
00:44:23.290 --> 00:44:26.140
CAN I BELIEVE THAT IF I TAKE A STEP, THAT HE'S
00:44:26.160 --> 00:44:30.070
GOING TO BE THERE FOR ME?
00:44:30.090 --> 00:44:32.020
AND I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU AGAIN.
00:44:32.040 --> 00:44:34.170
I COME SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS BOOK TO THE CROSS
00:44:34.190 --> 00:44:36.190
BECAUSE IT IS THE PLACE WE HAVE TO CONTINUALLY
00:44:36.210 --> 00:44:39.220
ANCHOR OUR HOPE.
00:44:39.240 --> 00:44:41.180
AND YOU KNOW, MOST POWERFUL THING IN THIS
00:44:41.200 --> 00:44:43.250
WHOLE STORY IS THAT YOU AND I HOLD THE KEY TO OUR
00:44:43.270 --> 00:44:47.170
FUTURE, AND IT'S A POWERFUL WORD.
00:44:47.190 --> 00:44:50.150
IT'S A WORD CALLED "FORGIVENESS".
00:44:50.170 --> 00:44:53.110
AND I KNOW SOMEBODY MIGHT SAY, I WAS WITH
00:44:53.130 --> 00:44:56.250
YOU THE WHOLE SHOW.
00:44:56.270 --> 00:44:59.000
LOVE THE SNOW NAN, LOVE THE CHIC-FIL-A, THAT'S
00:44:59.020 --> 00:45:00.270
ALL BEEN GREAT AND GOOD, BUT FORGIVE MY DAD?
00:45:00.290 --> 00:45:02.220
THERE IS NO CHANCE I'M GOING TO FORGIVE MY DAD.
00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:05.200
MY DAD DOESN'T EVEN THINK HE DID ANYTHING WRONG.
00:45:05.220 --> 00:45:07.150
MY DAD DOESN'T EVEN CARE.
00:45:07.170 --> 00:45:09.000
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS.
00:45:09.020 --> 00:45:10.130
I WOULDN'T FORGIVE HIM ANYWAY.
00:45:10.150 --> 00:45:12.010
BUT I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK THROUGH THAT
00:45:12.030 --> 00:45:14.130
BECAUSE YOUR LACK OF FORGIVENESS MIGHT BE
00:45:14.150 --> 00:45:16.040
DOING TWO THINGS.
00:45:16.060 --> 00:45:17.290
IT MIGHT BE GIVING YOU A FALSE SENSE OF CONTROL
00:45:18.010 --> 00:45:20.110
BECAUSE SEE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE A VOTE WHEN DAD
00:45:20.130 --> 00:45:22.070
WALKED OUT, BUT YOU'VE GOT A VOTE NOW, AND
00:45:22.090 --> 00:45:23.240
YOU'RE LETTING HIM KNOW ABOUT IT.
00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:25.080
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE YOUR KIDS.
00:45:25.100 --> 00:45:26.230
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ME.
00:45:26.250 --> 00:45:28.100
I'M IN CHARGE NOW, AND YOU'RE NOT GOING
00:45:28.120 --> 00:45:29.250
TO GET FORGIVEN.
00:45:29.270 --> 00:45:31.150
BUT REALLY IT'S NOT A CONTROL OVER YOUR DAD.
00:45:31.170 --> 00:45:33.200
IT'S JUST POWER OVER YOU TO KEEP YOU TRAPPED
00:45:33.220 --> 00:45:36.220
IN YOUR PAST.
00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:38.200
AND THE WAY YOU MOVE FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE
00:45:38.220 --> 00:45:41.070
IS A WORD CALLED "FORGIVENESS".
00:45:41.090 --> 00:45:44.010
IT'S NOT LETTING YOUR DAD OFF THE HOOK.
00:45:44.030 --> 00:45:46.280
IT'S NOT SWEEPING ANYTHING UNDER THE RUG.
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:48.160
I MEAN THINK ABOUT THE CROSS.
00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:50.050
DID GOD SWEEP ANYTHING UNDER THE RUG? NO.
00:45:50.070 --> 00:45:51.260
IT'S NOT RELINQUISHING YOUR DAD FROM THE
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:55.100
CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS AND CHOICES.
00:45:55.120 --> 00:45:57.260
IT'S JUST SAYING I FORGIVE YOU, AND I'M
00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:02.040
RELEASING YOU TO GOD.
00:46:02.060 --> 00:46:05.040
I'M NOT FORGIVING YOU WITH ZERO CONSEQUENCE.
00:46:05.060 --> 00:46:09.290
I'M ACTUALLY JUST RELEASING YOU INTO THE
00:46:10.010 --> 00:46:13.010
HANDS OF GOD, AND I'M GOING TO LET YOU AND GOD
00:46:13.030 --> 00:46:16.200
WORK IT OUT. AND I SAY I FORGIVE YOU.
00:46:16.220 --> 00:46:21.160
YOU SAY, LOUIE, HOW CAN I DO THAT?
00:46:21.180 --> 00:46:23.110
WELL, IT'S SIMPLE. FORGIVEN PEOPLE FORGIVE.
00:46:23.130 --> 00:46:28.090
AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK UP AT THE CROSS, AND YOU
00:46:28.110 --> 00:46:30.050
REALIZE WHAT DID GOD DO?
00:46:30.070 --> 00:46:31.180
HE FORGAVE US.
00:46:31.200 --> 00:46:33.170
DID WE PROVE THAT WE WERE WORTH GETTING FORGIVEN? NO.
00:46:33.190 --> 00:46:36.100
DID WE HAVE A SIX-MONTH TRIAL PERIOD TO SEE HOW
00:46:36.120 --> 00:46:38.190
WE WERE GOING TO DO?
00:46:38.210 --> 00:46:40.130
NO, HE JUST MOVED IN LOVE AND COMPLETELY AND
00:46:40.150 --> 00:46:43.020
TOTALLY WIPED AWAY OUR SINS AND SAID,
00:46:43.040 --> 00:46:46.110
YOU ARE FORGIVEN.
00:46:46.130 --> 00:46:48.050
I LOVE THAT, AND I LOVE RECEIVING IT LIKE A DUMP
00:46:48.070 --> 00:46:50.070
TRUCK BACKED UP INTO MY LIFE AND JUST GAVE ME ALL
00:46:50.090 --> 00:46:53.270
THE FORGIVENESS AND ALL THE GRACE THAT I NEED.
00:46:53.290 --> 00:46:56.190
BUT WHEN I'M WRONG, YOU KNOW WHAT I DO?
00:46:56.210 --> 00:46:58.080
I HAVE A TENDENCY TO DISPENSE THAT FORGIVENESS
00:46:58.100 --> 00:47:00.290
WITH A TEASPOON AND SAY, LET'S SEE IF YOU REALLY
00:47:01.010 --> 00:47:03.160
DO DESERVE IT.
00:47:03.180 --> 00:47:05.120
LET'S SEE IF YOU REALLY DO CHANGE YOUR WAYS.
00:47:05.140 --> 00:47:07.100
LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN EARN THIS.
00:47:07.120 --> 00:47:09.030
BUT THAT'S NOT FORGIVENESS.
00:47:09.050 --> 00:47:11.000
FORGIVENESS IS RECEIVING, AND IN THE SAME WAY WE'VE
00:47:11.020 --> 00:47:15.040
RECEIVED, WE GIVE, AND WE SAY, DAD, YOU HURT ME.
00:47:15.060 --> 00:47:19.050
MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TO WRITE HIM A LETTER. THE PAIN'S BEEN REAL.
00:47:19.070 --> 00:47:24.020
THE LOSS, THE ANGER, THE BITTERNESS, YOU PUT ME
00:47:24.040 --> 00:47:28.160
BEHIND THE 8 BALL.
00:47:28.180 --> 00:47:30.070
YOU PUT ME IN SUCH A DIFFICULT SPOT.
00:47:30.090 --> 00:47:33.040
I HAVEN'T KNOWN WHERE TO FIND MY BALANCE AND MY
00:47:33.060 --> 00:47:35.170
CONFIDENCE, AND ALL OF THESE YEARS LATER, I'M
00:47:35.190 --> 00:47:38.130
STILL PROCESSING ALL OF THIS, DAD, AND IT'S REAL,
00:47:38.150 --> 00:47:40.270
AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT.
00:47:40.290 --> 00:47:42.240
BUT I ALSO NEED YOU TO KNOW THERE'S A
00:47:42.260 --> 00:47:44.190
CROSS IN MY STORY.
00:47:44.210 --> 00:47:46.150
YEAH, WE GOT A FAMILY TREE IN THE STORY, DAD,
00:47:46.170 --> 00:47:48.110
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER TREE IN OUR STORY.
00:47:48.130 --> 00:47:49.290
IT'S CALLED CALVARY'S TREE.
00:47:50.010 --> 00:47:52.050
AND DAD, I JUST NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT
00:47:52.070 --> 00:47:55.040
GOD GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ME, AND HE FORGAVE ME, AND I
00:47:55.060 --> 00:47:57.090
WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IN THAT SAME SPIRIT AND IN
00:47:57.110 --> 00:47:59.000
THAT SAME POWER, I FORGIVE YOU.
00:47:59.020 --> 00:48:02.260
YOU SAY, WELL, LOUIE, MY DAD, I TRIED THAT ONCE.
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:05.070
HE NEVER EVEN WROTE ME BACK, NEVER ANSWERED MY
00:48:05.090 --> 00:48:07.160
CALL, HE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY E-MAIL.
00:48:07.180 --> 00:48:09.160
HE NEVER EVEN TEXTED MY BACK.
00:48:09.180 --> 00:48:14.180
YOU KNOW, IN THAT MOMENT, YOU HAD A TENDENCY, RIGHT?
00:48:14.200 --> 00:48:17.140
TO TAKE YOUR FORGIVENESS BACK, BUT I WANT TO
00:48:17.160 --> 00:48:20.170
ENCOURAGE YOU TO PUT IT BACK OUT THERE AGAIN AND
00:48:20.190 --> 00:48:22.250
LEAVE IT WITH OPEN HANDS, WHETHER IT'S RECEIVED OR NOT.
00:48:22.270 --> 00:48:27.150
THAT'S NOT HOW WE GET FREE.
00:48:27.170 --> 00:48:29.070
WE DON'T GET FREE WHEN OUR FORGIVENESS IS FREE.
00:48:29.090 --> 00:48:31.190
WE GET FREE THE MOMENT WE OFFER IT.
00:48:31.210 --> 00:48:34.260
WE NOW MOVE OUT OF THE PAST, AND WE MOVE INTO A
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:38.200
GLORIOUS FUTURE WITH GOD.
00:48:38.220 --> 00:48:42.110
IF GOD HAS THE POWER TO RAISE YOU FROM THE DEAD,
00:48:42.130 --> 00:48:45.260
IF HE HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE AND WIPE AWAY ALL
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:48.270
YOUR SIN, IF HE HAS THE POWER TO CANCEL SIN AND
00:48:48.290 --> 00:48:51.260
DEATH AND THE GRAVE, IF HE HAS THE POWER TO PUT
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:54.150
HIS SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE, THEN HE'S GOT THE POWER
00:48:54.170 --> 00:48:57.050
TO SET YOU FREE FROM YOUR PAST.
00:48:57.070 --> 00:49:00.270
HE'S GOT THE POWER TO BREAK EVERY CURSE, TO
00:49:00.290 --> 00:49:03.190
BREAK EVERY CHAIN, EVERY LIE SPOKEN OVER YOU.
00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:06.040
HE HAS THE POWER TO JETTISON YOU OUT OF
00:49:06.060 --> 00:49:09.180
DARKNESS AND INTO MARVELOUS LIGHT, AND IT
00:49:09.200 --> 00:49:13.040
ALL HAPPENS WHEN OUR EYES ARE OPEN TO SEE THERE IS
00:49:13.060 --> 00:49:16.190
A PERFECT HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:49:16.210 --> 00:49:19.050
HE'S BEEN LOOKING FOR ME AND SEARCHING FOR ME AND
00:49:19.070 --> 00:49:22.130
WAITING FOR ME.
00:49:22.150 --> 00:49:24.000
AND JUST LIKE MY GREAT GRANDFATHER VITO WHO'S
00:49:24.020 --> 00:49:26.040
BURIED 28 MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE THAT I JUST
00:49:26.060 --> 00:49:30.240
DISCOVERED AT 60 YEARS OF AGE, GOD IS CLOSER
00:49:30.260 --> 00:49:34.210
THAN YOU THINK.
00:49:34.230 --> 00:49:37.220
HE IS IN YOUR STORY RIGHT THIS MOMENT, AND HE'S
00:49:37.240 --> 00:49:42.190
WAITING TO TAKE YOU BY THE HAND TO STEP INTO
00:49:42.210 --> 00:49:45.000
THAT GAP AND TO STEP INTO THE FUTURE OF WHAT IT
00:49:45.020 --> 00:49:48.250
MEANS TO LIVE UNDER THE NIAGARA FALL BLESSING OF
00:49:48.270 --> 00:49:52.090
A LOVED SON, A LOVED DAUGHTER.
00:49:52.110 --> 00:49:55.260
THAT IS WHO YOU ARE.
00:49:55.280 --> 00:49:58.170
PAUL SAID, WE ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR,
00:49:58.190 --> 00:50:03.160
NOT FEAR OF NOT MEASURING UP, NOT FEAR OF BEING
00:50:03.180 --> 00:50:06.170
LEFT BEHIND, NOT FEAR OF ABANDONMENT.
00:50:06.190 --> 00:50:09.210
WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE LABELED BY DIVORCE
00:50:09.230 --> 00:50:12.050
OR DYSFUNCTION, NO.
00:50:12.070 --> 00:50:14.120
HE SAID, YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR.
00:50:14.140 --> 00:50:16.130
YOU ARE WHAT? A CHILD OF GOD.
00:50:16.150 --> 00:50:21.110
SO HOW DO WE BREAK FEAR?
00:50:21.130 --> 00:50:23.170
BY DISCOVERING THAT WE HAVE A PERFECT HEAVENLY
00:50:23.190 --> 00:50:27.120
FATHER WHO IS RIGHT IN OUR STORY IN THIS MOMENT.
00:50:27.140 --> 00:50:31.240
- BEAUTIFUL, PRAY FOR THE FOLKS, LOUIE.
00:50:31.260 --> 00:50:35.110
- SO I JUST WANT TO INVITE YOU, IF YOU'D LIKE
00:50:35.130 --> 00:50:38.060
TO, MAYBE JUST TO OPEN YOUR HANDS.
00:50:38.080 --> 00:50:40.000
IT'S A SIMPLE THING.
00:50:40.020 --> 00:50:42.130
IT'S A LITTLE STEP, AND SOMETIMES THIS JOURNEY IS
00:50:42.150 --> 00:50:46.010
JUST LITTLE STEP BY LITTLE STEP BY LITTLE STEP.
00:50:46.030 --> 00:50:49.070
SO I JUST INVITE YOU JUST TO OPEN YOUR HANDS RIGHT
00:50:49.090 --> 00:50:51.280
WHERE YOU ARE AND JUST SAY, GOD, WOULD YOU TAKE
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.080
OUT ALL THE BITTERNESS AND ALL THE HURT AND ALL
00:50:55.100 --> 00:50:57.080
THE ANGER, AND WOULD YOU PUT INTO MY HANDS PEACE
00:50:57.100 --> 00:51:03.260
AND CONFIDENCE AND BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THIS
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.190
STUFF THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, THAT IT'S TRUE.
00:51:06.210 --> 00:51:10.110
AND FATHER, I PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:51:10.130 --> 00:51:13.090
FATHER, WE COME IN THE POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:51:13.110 --> 00:51:17.080
IT IS THE NAME THAT BREAKS THE CURSE.
00:51:17.100 --> 00:51:20.210
IT IS THE NAME THAT REVERSES GENERATIONAL SIN.
00:51:20.230 --> 00:51:24.230
IT IS THE NAME THAT TURNS STORIES AROUND, AND I
00:51:24.250 --> 00:51:28.070
COME IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND I PRAY FOR
00:51:28.090 --> 00:51:31.130
EVERY PERSON TONIGHT WHO IS LOOKING FOR A BRAND NEW START.
00:51:31.150 --> 00:51:36.240
I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD OPEN THEIR EYES TO SEE
00:51:36.260 --> 00:51:39.100
THAT YOU'RE NOT SOME ANGRY SCORE
00:51:39.120 --> 00:51:41.020
KEEPER IN THE SKY.
00:51:41.040 --> 00:51:43.000
YOU'RE NOT SOME OLD GRANDPA SORT OF MAKING
00:51:43.020 --> 00:51:45.050
HIS WAY AROUND HEAVEN, THAT YOU ARE A STRONG AND
00:51:45.070 --> 00:51:47.250
MIGHTY AND LOVING AND TRUE FATHER WHO WANTS TO
00:51:47.270 --> 00:51:52.130
PUT HIS ARMS AROUND THEM, BRING THEM TO BRAND NEW
00:51:52.150 --> 00:51:55.180
LIFE, PUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN THEIR HEARTS, THE
00:51:55.200 --> 00:51:58.140
SPIRIT THAT CRIES ABBA FATHER.
00:51:58.160 --> 00:52:02.060
SO I PRAY, LORD, THAT YOU WOULD CANCEL EVERYTHING
00:52:02.080 --> 00:52:05.130
THE ENEMY HAS DONE, THAT YOU WILL GIVE BACK WHAT
00:52:05.150 --> 00:52:09.050
HE HAS STOLEN, THAT YOU WILL PLANT IN THIS VERY
00:52:09.070 --> 00:52:12.260
MOMENT A BRAND NEW SEED OF HOPE AND A BRAND NEW
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:15.280
VISION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO AGREE WITH GOD AND
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.060
JUST SAY "I AM VALUABLE. I AM PRIZED.
00:52:19.080 --> 00:52:23.290
I AM LOVED AND SOUGHT FOR BY THE GOD OF ALL CREATION.
00:52:24.010 --> 00:52:29.050
I AM HIS." AND I PRAY, LORD, THAT YOU WOULD SEAL
00:52:29.070 --> 00:52:33.100
THAT UP IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND I PRAY THAT
00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:36.080
YOU WOULD RAISE UP SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
00:52:36.100 --> 00:52:38.160
LORD, WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT THE
00:52:38.180 --> 00:52:40.260
FATHERLESS GENERATION WILL BECOME THE FATHERED
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.170
GENERATION, AND THERE WILL BE A LEGACY AND A
00:52:44.190 --> 00:52:48.080
HERITAGE IN THE GENERATIONS TO COME THAT
00:52:48.100 --> 00:52:50.190
YOU CHANGE SOMEONE'S LIFE RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT
00:52:50.210 --> 00:52:54.200
AND STARTED A BRAND NEW STORY, NOT JUST FOR THEM,
00:52:54.220 --> 00:52:58.140
BUT FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN AND
00:52:58.160 --> 00:53:01.040
THEIR CHILDREN. LORD, YOU DO IT.
00:53:01.060 --> 00:53:03.140
YOU TURN STORIES AROUND, AND WE BELIEVE YOU'RE
00:53:03.160 --> 00:53:06.250
GOING TO DO IT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS. AMEN.
00:53:06.270 --> 00:53:09.250
- WOW, BEAUTIFUL.
00:53:09.270 --> 00:53:11.170
[APPLAUSE]
00:53:11.190 --> 00:53:13.140
"NOT FORSAKEN", THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE NOW, AND YOU
00:53:13.160 --> 00:53:18.000
SIT HERE, AND YOU TRY TO DISCONNECT YOURSELF AND
00:53:18.020 --> 00:53:23.150
SAY, WAIT A SECOND.
00:53:23.170 --> 00:53:25.010
I HAD A PERFECT EXPERIENCE WITH --
00:53:25.030 --> 00:53:28.100
11 DAYS BEFORE MY DAD DIED, MY WHOLE FAMILY SAT WITH
00:53:28.120 --> 00:53:31.260
HIM, AND ONE OF THE FUNNIEST LITTLE FUNNY
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:36.020
THINGS IS MY DAD WAS DYING OF
00:53:36.040 --> 00:53:37.280
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE.
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:40.040
THAT MEANT HE WAS JUST KIND OF SLOWLY LOSING ENERGY.
00:53:40.060 --> 00:53:44.230
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO
00:53:44.250 --> 00:53:49.050
HAPPEN IS HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO
00:53:49.070 --> 00:53:51.040
HAVE ANY SALTY FOOD.
00:53:51.060 --> 00:53:54.050
SO I TAKE HIM INTO THE BACK ROOM, CODY WALKS IN
00:53:54.070 --> 00:53:58.130
WHO'S RIGHT HERE ON ONE OF THE CAMERAS.
00:53:58.150 --> 00:54:00.200
CODY WALKS IN, HE WALKS IN NOT KNOWING ANYTHING,
00:54:00.220 --> 00:54:03.110
HE CAME IN SEPARATELY, HE WALKS IN AND CLUNKS DOWN
00:54:03.130 --> 00:54:06.000
A BUNCH OF CHIC-FIL-A SANDWICHES.
00:54:06.020 --> 00:54:09.210
- FOR EVERYBODY.
00:54:09.230 --> 00:54:11.160
- I'M IN THE BACK ROOM.
00:54:11.180 --> 00:54:13.000
MY DAD SITS DOWN, STARTS EATING CHIC-FIL-A
00:54:13.020 --> 00:54:15.040
SANDWICHES AND FRENCH FRIES AND THE WHOLE THING.
00:54:15.060 --> 00:54:19.280
AND I WALK OUT GOING [GASPING] LIKE
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.190
YOU CAN'T EAT THIS!
00:54:22.210 --> 00:54:24.120
AND I SAT DOWN AND I JUST WENT, FOR GOODNESS SAKES,
00:54:24.140 --> 00:54:27.170
ENJOY IT.
00:54:27.190 --> 00:54:29.000
- I'M DONE ANYWAY. - ENJOY IT.
00:54:29.020 --> 00:54:30.190
- MY PLEASURE.
00:54:30.210 --> 00:54:32.210
- AND WE ENDED UP TALKING ABOUT FORGIVENESS
00:54:32.230 --> 00:54:37.150
AND LOVE AND PRAYING TOGETHER.
00:54:37.170 --> 00:54:40.110
- WHAT A GIFT.
00:54:40.130 --> 00:54:42.100
- AND JUST DIRECTION AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCES.
00:54:42.120 --> 00:54:44.170
11 DAYS BEFORE MY DAD PASSED.
00:54:44.190 --> 00:54:47.050
- TELL THAT STORY REAL QUICK ABOUT THE STAGE.
00:54:47.070 --> 00:54:51.090
- OH, MY GOSH, I CAN'T TELL THAT WHOLE STORY,
00:54:51.110 --> 00:54:53.090
BUT MY DAD, CHIC-FIL-A LOGO, WE DO THE BIGGEST

THEY BUILD OUR STAGE UP AT THE 50 YARD LINE.
00:55:04.050 --> 00:55:06.000
24 HOURS LATER, I WALK UP ON THE STAGE, BIGGEST
