>> I come home
from Afghanistan
having to be intense,
00:00:10.009 --> 00:00:11.945 align:center line:63% position:50% size:30%
very focused
on my job,
00:00:12.011 --> 00:00:14.147 align:center line:63% position:50% size:73%
to come home and now I have
to be a husband and a father.
00:00:14.214 --> 00:00:16.149 align:start line:63% position:30% size:38%
My home was not
a safe place
00:00:16.216 --> 00:00:18.151 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
or a happy place
for my family at all.
00:00:18.218 --> 00:00:20.153 align:start line:63% position:30% size:38%
I was a
raging lunatic.
00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:23.289 align:start line:63% position:15% size:70%
I would really just... to be
that person in Afghanistan
00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:25.291 align:center line:63% position:50% size:63%
and to come back
and try to fit in my home
00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:27.293 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
wasn't a switch
that I could flip.
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:29.863 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
P.T.S.D. nearly
destroyed their marriage
00:00:29.929 --> 00:00:32.799 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
but Chad and Kathy Robichaux
now share how there's hope
00:00:32.866 --> 00:00:36.069 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%

James and Betty just ‑‑
00:00:58.391 --> 00:01:01.828 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
we just share life every day.
00:01:01.895 --> 00:01:03.696 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
I know we've not been hugging
00:01:03.763 --> 00:01:04.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for a long time,
00:01:04.998 --> 00:01:06.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
trying to be wise
00:01:06.232 --> 00:01:07.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and will continue to be
00:01:07.801 --> 00:01:08.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but here's the deal.
00:01:09.035 --> 00:01:10.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Sometimes you just wish
00:01:10.236 --> 00:01:11.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you could get your arms
00:01:11.504 --> 00:01:12.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
around people
00:01:12.839 --> 00:01:14.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you are grateful for.
00:01:14.307 --> 00:01:15.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I've been saying
00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:16.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to all of you
00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:17.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who watch LIFE Today
00:01:18.044 --> 00:01:19.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that if the family of God
00:01:19.145 --> 00:01:20.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
will be healthy,
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the body of Christ,
00:01:21.448 --> 00:01:22.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we can put God's arms
00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:23.650 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
around the people
00:01:23.716 --> 00:01:24.784 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
he gave his son to redeem.
00:01:24.851 --> 00:01:25.919 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
And it's love
00:01:25.985 --> 00:01:27.153 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that is all that's going
00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:28.321 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to change things--
00:01:28.388 --> 00:01:29.489 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
his love, unconditional love,
00:01:29.556 --> 00:01:30.590 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and truth delivered
00:01:30.657 --> 00:01:31.758 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
in that love.
00:01:31.825 --> 00:01:32.992 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
If I can get my arms
00:01:33.059 --> 00:01:34.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
around the people
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:35.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that my guest today
00:01:35.328 --> 00:01:36.396 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
reach out to and represent,
00:01:36.463 --> 00:01:37.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I'd do it--
00:01:37.664 --> 00:01:38.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and that's all our military
00:01:38.898 --> 00:01:39.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and their families.
00:01:39.999 --> 00:01:41.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
There is no way
00:01:41.134 --> 00:01:42.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to thank you enough.
00:01:42.202 --> 00:01:43.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Just like all
00:01:43.303 --> 00:01:44.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the first responders.
00:01:44.571 --> 00:01:45.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You march into hell--
00:01:45.672 --> 00:01:46.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you run into hell
00:01:46.873 --> 00:01:48.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for a heavenly cause,
00:01:48.107 --> 00:01:49.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for freedom.
00:01:49.642 --> 00:01:51.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And I just want to thank you
00:01:51.077 --> 00:01:52.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
for life.
00:01:52.812 --> 00:01:53.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I wish we could hug everyone
00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:55.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in the military.
00:01:55.081 --> 00:01:56.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Well, Chad Robichaux
00:01:56.149 --> 00:01:57.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and his wife Kathy,
00:01:57.283 --> 00:02:00.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
they understand what it is
00:02:00.253 --> 00:02:03.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to have an unfair advantage.
00:02:03.957 --> 00:02:05.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
They understand what it is
00:02:05.258 --> 00:02:06.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to have victory
00:02:06.459 --> 00:02:07.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the midst of battle.
00:02:07.927 --> 00:02:08.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And they understand
00:02:09.062 --> 00:02:10.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
the battle
00:02:10.230 --> 00:02:11.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and they understand
00:02:11.297 --> 00:02:12.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
many people that have
00:02:12.565 --> 00:02:13.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
really been impacted by it,
00:02:13.833 --> 00:02:14.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
trying to deliver help
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:16.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to all of us,
00:02:16.436 --> 00:02:17.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
have not had enough people
00:02:17.537 --> 00:02:18.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
reaching out to them.
00:02:18.605 --> 00:02:20.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
After an incredible journey
00:02:20.907 --> 00:02:22.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
they're doing it.
00:02:22.175 --> 00:02:23.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I want to just say to you,
00:02:23.443 --> 00:02:26.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Kathy, to you Chad,
00:02:26.246 --> 00:02:28.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
you Robichauxs,
00:02:28.281 --> 00:02:30.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you are amazing.
00:02:30.149 --> 00:02:31.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're going to talk about
00:02:31.384 --> 00:02:32.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
your ministry but, Chad,
00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:33.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you feel free, Kathy,
00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:35.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
to jump in
00:02:35.255 --> 00:02:36.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and carry this thing
00:02:36.256 --> 00:02:37.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because you've known him
00:02:37.423 --> 00:02:38.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
a long time.
00:02:38.558 --> 00:02:39.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You probably didn't realize
00:02:39.859 --> 00:02:40.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
he was going to be
00:02:40.994 --> 00:02:42.161 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
such a fighter
00:02:42.228 --> 00:02:43.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but you knew he was tough.
00:02:43.329 --> 00:02:44.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But you didn't realize
00:02:44.564 --> 00:02:45.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what was happening to him
00:02:45.832 --> 00:02:46.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
until you began to see it.
00:02:46.966 --> 00:02:48.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Just tell us
00:02:48.067 --> 00:02:49.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
about your childhood,
00:02:49.135 --> 00:02:50.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
just sweep us through that,
00:02:50.270 --> 00:02:51.337 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and then how you get
00:02:51.404 --> 00:02:53.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
into the military.
00:02:53.706 --> 00:02:55.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You did what, eight tours
00:02:55.141 --> 00:02:56.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the Middle East?
00:02:56.209 --> 00:02:57.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
CHAD: Eight in Afghanistan,
00:02:57.510 --> 00:02:58.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:10%
yes.
00:02:58.878 --> 00:02:59.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
JAMES: In Afghanistan;
00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:01.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
so you really marched
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
into hell.
00:03:02.248 --> 00:03:03.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You kind of moved into hell.
00:03:03.349 --> 00:03:04.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
All right, tell us
00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:05.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
about your journey.
00:03:05.685 --> 00:03:08.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
CHAD: My military background
00:03:08.922 --> 00:03:10.456 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
started with my father.
00:03:10.523 --> 00:03:11.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
My father was a Marine
00:03:11.991 --> 00:03:13.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and served in Vietnam.
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
In fact, we have two sons
00:03:14.294 --> 00:03:15.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that are both Marines
00:03:15.595 --> 00:03:16.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and one of them actually
00:03:16.763 --> 00:03:17.864 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
been serving in Afghanistan.
00:03:17.931 --> 00:03:18.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I was a Force RECON Marine
00:03:19.032 --> 00:03:20.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
which is special operations
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:21.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the Marine Corp.
00:03:21.467 --> 00:03:22.569 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
I did deployments
00:03:22.635 --> 00:03:23.770 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
in that capacity.
00:03:23.836 --> 00:03:25.238 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
But my experience with trauma
00:03:25.305 --> 00:03:26.406 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
from the military
00:03:26.472 --> 00:03:27.507 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
really started with my father
00:03:27.574 --> 00:03:28.575 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
coming home from Vietnam
00:03:28.641 --> 00:03:29.609 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
not getting the help
00:03:29.676 --> 00:03:30.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
he needed.
00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:31.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Many of our Vietnam veterans
00:03:31.878 --> 00:03:32.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you guys are aware
00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:34.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
did not get the help
00:03:34.113 --> 00:03:35.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
they needed.
00:03:35.248 --> 00:03:36.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And he was just a very angry,
00:03:36.349 --> 00:03:37.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
violent man.
00:03:37.450 --> 00:03:38.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Lots of alcohol, women,
00:03:38.551 --> 00:03:39.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and a lot of physical abuse
00:03:39.652 --> 00:03:40.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in our home.
00:03:40.887 --> 00:03:41.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So we had a very physical
00:03:42.055 --> 00:03:43.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
abusive childhood,
00:03:43.189 --> 00:03:44.290 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
my brother and I.
00:03:44.357 --> 00:03:45.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
My brother was a year older
00:03:45.358 --> 00:03:46.593 align:start line:69% position:10% size:20%
than me.
00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:48.161 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
During those times
00:03:48.227 --> 00:03:50.296 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
we became close.
00:03:50.363 --> 00:03:51.331 align:start line:69% position:10% size:48%
People that grow up
00:03:51.397 --> 00:03:52.465 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
in dysfunctional homes
00:03:52.532 --> 00:03:53.666 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
become very close
00:03:53.733 --> 00:03:54.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to each other.
00:03:54.801 --> 00:03:55.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He was the closest person
00:03:55.868 --> 00:03:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
to me.
00:03:56.970 --> 00:03:57.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We made a decision
00:03:57.971 --> 00:03:58.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when we were about
00:03:59.005 --> 00:04:00.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
13 and 14 years old that
00:04:00.106 --> 00:04:01.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
we would join the military
00:04:01.274 --> 00:04:02.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to escape the lifestyle.
00:04:02.442 --> 00:04:03.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
We started running, swimming,
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:04.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and watching videos.
00:04:04.777 --> 00:04:05.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We decided we wanted
00:04:05.945 --> 00:04:06.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to be in special operations.
00:04:07.046 --> 00:04:08.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Grew up in southern Louisiana.
00:04:08.114 --> 00:04:09.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
We liked to be
00:04:09.148 --> 00:04:10.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the water and swim
00:04:10.249 --> 00:04:11.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and do all those things.
00:04:11.284 --> 00:04:12.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I remember about a year
00:04:12.352 --> 00:04:13.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
into that, doing that,
00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:14.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
tragedy hit our family
00:04:14.420 --> 00:04:15.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and my brother was shot
00:04:15.588 --> 00:04:16.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and he was killed.
00:04:16.956 --> 00:04:18.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It was devastating to me
00:04:18.124 --> 00:04:19.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
as somebody
00:04:19.258 --> 00:04:20.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in a childhood like that,
00:04:20.493 --> 00:04:21.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in a dysfunctional home,
00:04:21.628 --> 00:04:22.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
having that close person
00:04:22.729 --> 00:04:23.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
to them,
00:04:23.830 --> 00:04:25.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to lose them like that.
00:04:25.465 --> 00:04:26.499 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
What I had left of family
00:04:26.566 --> 00:04:27.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
really disintegrated.
00:04:27.767 --> 00:04:30.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
My mother,
00:04:30.336 --> 00:04:31.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
his biological mother
00:04:31.504 --> 00:04:32.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
could not handle that.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
She pretty much lost it.
00:04:34.140 --> 00:04:35.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
My dad left the country
00:04:35.341 --> 00:04:36.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because he didn't want
00:04:36.509 --> 00:04:37.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to deal with it, and left me
00:04:37.543 --> 00:04:38.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and my older sister
00:04:38.544 --> 00:04:39.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to live by ourselves
00:04:39.746 --> 00:04:41.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
when I was...
00:04:41.347 --> 00:04:42.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I pretty much went
00:04:42.515 --> 00:04:43.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
into deep isolation
00:04:43.549 --> 00:04:44.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
until I was 17 years old.
00:04:44.617 --> 00:04:45.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
Went to
00:04:45.685 --> 00:04:46.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a Marine Corp recruiter
00:04:46.719 --> 00:04:47.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and asked him to help me
00:04:47.887 --> 00:04:48.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
get into the Marine Corp
00:04:48.888 --> 00:04:49.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
to fulfill
00:04:49.989 --> 00:04:51.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that childhood dream.
00:04:51.224 --> 00:04:52.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I got that second chance
00:04:52.325 --> 00:04:53.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
at life that the military
00:04:53.359 --> 00:04:54.460 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
gives so many people,
00:04:54.527 --> 00:04:55.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a clean slate for life.
00:04:55.728 --> 00:04:56.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I wanted to fulfill
00:04:56.796 --> 00:04:57.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that childhood dream
00:04:57.864 --> 00:04:58.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
of being a special operations,
00:04:58.865 --> 00:04:59.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
being a reconnaissance Marine.
00:04:59.866 --> 00:05:00.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The first year I tried out
00:05:01.034 --> 00:05:02.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and I made it.
00:05:02.101 --> 00:05:03.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Did all the training,
00:05:03.102 --> 00:05:04.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the difficult training
00:05:04.203 --> 00:05:05.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
it takes to do that job.
00:05:05.304 --> 00:05:06.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But this was 1993 so it
00:05:06.572 --> 00:05:07.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
would be almost ten years
00:05:07.774 --> 00:05:08.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in being a special operations,
00:05:08.975 --> 00:05:10.109 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
ten years of us being married
00:05:10.176 --> 00:05:11.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
is when the
00:05:11.444 --> 00:05:12.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
World Trade Center
00:05:12.712 --> 00:05:13.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
buildings were hit
00:05:13.846 --> 00:05:15.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and it resulted in me
00:05:15.248 --> 00:05:16.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
being deployed to Afghanistan.
00:05:16.949 --> 00:05:18.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I joined a joint special
00:05:18.184 --> 00:05:19.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
operations command task force.
00:05:19.652 --> 00:05:20.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I did eight deployments
00:05:20.820 --> 00:05:22.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in that capacity.
00:05:22.188 --> 00:05:23.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And being in Afghanistan,
00:05:23.356 --> 00:05:24.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
doing the job
00:05:24.490 --> 00:05:25.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that I began to do,
00:05:25.758 --> 00:05:27.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the manifestations
00:05:27.126 --> 00:05:28.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of frustration and anger
00:05:28.327 --> 00:05:29.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is really what we saw first.
00:05:29.962 --> 00:05:30.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I'd come home
00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:32.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
from Afghanistan,
00:05:32.131 --> 00:05:33.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
having to be just intense,
00:05:33.332 --> 00:05:34.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
very focused on my job,
00:05:34.534 --> 00:05:35.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to come home
00:05:35.668 --> 00:05:36.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and now have to be
00:05:36.803 --> 00:05:37.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a husband and a father.
00:05:38.037 --> 00:05:39.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It's always a shame
00:05:39.205 --> 00:05:40.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for me to say,
00:05:40.306 --> 00:05:41.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
especially knowing
00:05:41.407 --> 00:05:42.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
how many people
00:05:42.508 --> 00:05:43.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
are probably listening
00:05:43.609 --> 00:05:44.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but it is necessary
00:05:44.711 --> 00:05:45.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
for me to say that my home
00:05:45.812 --> 00:05:46.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
was not a safe
00:05:46.913 --> 00:05:47.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
or a happy place
00:05:48.014 --> 00:05:49.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for my family at all.
00:05:49.115 --> 00:05:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I was a raging lunatic.
00:05:50.216 --> 00:05:51.250 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I would throw things,
00:05:51.317 --> 00:05:52.351 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
break things, slam the door,
00:05:52.418 --> 00:05:53.519 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
punch holes in the wall,
00:05:53.586 --> 00:05:54.687 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
scream at my wife
00:05:54.754 --> 00:05:55.922 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
and children.
00:05:55.988 --> 00:05:57.290 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I was just really, to be
00:05:57.356 --> 00:05:58.458 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
that person in Afghanistan
00:05:58.524 --> 00:05:59.492 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
and to come back and try
00:05:59.559 --> 00:06:00.526 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
to fit in my home wasn't
00:06:00.593 --> 00:06:02.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a switch that I could flip.
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:04.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So it was very difficult
00:06:04.297 --> 00:06:05.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for me and obviously,
00:06:05.431 --> 00:06:06.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
very difficult for them.
00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:09.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
One of my memories
00:06:09.936 --> 00:06:11.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that I can recall to share
00:06:11.504 --> 00:06:12.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what it was like,
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:14.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
my daughter was having
00:06:14.107 --> 00:06:15.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a birthday party
00:06:15.208 --> 00:06:16.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and she was so excited
00:06:16.309 --> 00:06:17.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for her birthday.
00:06:17.376 --> 00:06:18.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And she is very opinionated
00:06:18.644 --> 00:06:19.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and she didn't like
00:06:19.812 --> 00:06:20.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the icing on her cake.
00:06:20.813 --> 00:06:21.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Something so simple,
00:06:21.881 --> 00:06:23.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I like flipped out.
00:06:23.082 --> 00:06:24.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Picked up my little girl's
00:06:24.117 --> 00:06:25.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
birthday cake and through it
00:06:25.284 --> 00:06:26.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
against the wall
00:06:26.419 --> 00:06:27.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and destroyed
00:06:27.487 --> 00:06:28.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
my little girl's birthday.
00:06:28.488 --> 00:06:29.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I remember in those moments
00:06:29.555 --> 00:06:30.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
like thinking,
00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:31.624 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
who behaves that way?
00:06:31.691 --> 00:06:32.625 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
What kind of dad
00:06:32.692 --> 00:06:33.626 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
behaves that way?
00:06:33.693 --> 00:06:34.627 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
I was just really
00:06:34.694 --> 00:06:35.628 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
out of control.
00:06:35.695 --> 00:06:36.629 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
So I felt more comfortable
00:06:36.696 --> 00:06:37.697 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
being away from them,
00:06:37.764 --> 00:06:38.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
isolating from them,
00:06:38.831 --> 00:06:39.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to be in Afghanistan,
00:06:39.866 --> 00:06:40.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and thought
00:06:40.933 --> 00:06:41.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it would just get better.
00:06:42.034 --> 00:06:42.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
But eventually,
00:06:43.035 --> 00:06:44.003 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I started having
00:06:44.070 --> 00:06:45.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
these physical manifestations
00:06:45.071 --> 00:06:46.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
of these
00:06:46.105 --> 00:06:47.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
physiological effects.
00:06:47.106 --> 00:06:48.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
My arms would go numb.
00:06:48.174 --> 00:06:49.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
My throat felt like
00:06:49.242 --> 00:06:50.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it was swelling shut.
00:06:50.309 --> 00:06:51.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
My face would be numb.
00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:52.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Sometimes I felt like
00:06:52.478 --> 00:06:53.746 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I had a thousand pound weight
00:06:53.813 --> 00:06:54.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
on my chest
00:06:54.881 --> 00:06:55.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I couldn't breathe.
00:06:55.948 --> 00:06:56.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And these were signs
00:06:57.016 --> 00:06:58.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of a panic attack.
00:06:58.084 --> 00:06:59.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And when those symptoms
00:06:59.152 --> 00:07:00.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
began to get worse
00:07:00.219 --> 00:07:01.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and worse and worse
00:07:01.387 --> 00:07:02.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I didn't want to tell
00:07:02.655 --> 00:07:03.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
anybody I worked with because
00:07:03.856 --> 00:07:04.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
in a special operations group
00:07:05.024 --> 00:07:06.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I knew the guys would think
00:07:06.125 --> 00:07:07.160 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I was weak.
00:07:07.226 --> 00:07:08.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
If I went to mental health
00:07:08.361 --> 00:07:09.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I probably would have been
00:07:09.529 --> 00:07:10.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
taken out of my program.
00:07:10.696 --> 00:07:11.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So I pushed it down
00:07:11.864 --> 00:07:12.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and kept trying to function.
00:07:13.032 --> 00:07:14.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And eventually,
00:07:14.167 --> 00:07:15.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
those symptoms did get worse.
00:07:15.268 --> 00:07:16.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I had what is called
00:07:16.469 --> 00:07:17.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
disassociation, where you,
00:07:17.737 --> 00:07:18.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
almost like a third person,
00:07:18.805 --> 00:07:20.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
like you're in a video game
00:07:20.907 --> 00:07:22.775 align:start line:69% position:10% size:30%
of yourself.
00:07:22.842 --> 00:07:24.076 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
And then during
00:07:24.143 --> 00:07:25.111 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
the end of my time there
00:07:25.178 --> 00:07:26.112 align:start line:69% position:10% size:28%
we ended up
00:07:26.179 --> 00:07:27.213 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
losing 12 team members
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:28.281 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
that were killed.
00:07:28.347 --> 00:07:29.348 align:start line:69% position:10% size:68%
Two of them were Americans,
00:07:29.415 --> 00:07:30.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
ten Afghans; some people
00:07:30.483 --> 00:07:31.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
may not think that is as big
00:07:31.584 --> 00:07:32.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of a deal but to me,
00:07:32.618 --> 00:07:34.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
because of my job I lived
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in these Afghans' home.
00:07:35.421 --> 00:07:36.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I ate dinner
00:07:36.823 --> 00:07:37.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
with their families,
00:07:37.990 --> 00:07:38.925 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
played soccer with their kids.
00:07:38.991 --> 00:07:40.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They're my brothers.
00:07:40.159 --> 00:07:41.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I loved these guys
00:07:41.327 --> 00:07:42.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and they loved me.
00:07:42.495 --> 00:07:43.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I would die for them.
00:07:43.663 --> 00:07:44.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
In fact,
00:07:44.831 --> 00:07:46.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I believe they died for me.
00:07:46.098 --> 00:07:47.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
If I was hanging on
00:07:47.266 --> 00:07:48.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
by a thread in that moment,
00:07:48.501 --> 00:07:49.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that thread was broken.
00:07:49.669 --> 00:07:50.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I came home shortly after that
00:07:50.937 --> 00:07:52.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
after realizing that
00:07:52.071 --> 00:07:53.573 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the things I was doing
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:54.640 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and not asking for help
00:07:54.707 --> 00:07:55.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
was putting other people
00:07:55.775 --> 00:07:58.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in danger, not just myself.
00:07:58.411 --> 00:07:59.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So when I came home,
00:07:59.846 --> 00:08:00.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Kathie and I sat before
00:08:00.913 --> 00:08:01.981 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a clinical psychologist
00:08:02.048 --> 00:08:03.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and I was diagnosed
00:08:03.082 --> 00:08:04.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
with P.T.S.D.
00:08:04.917 --> 00:08:05.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Neither one of us even knew
00:08:05.985 --> 00:08:07.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
what it was at the time.
00:08:07.119 --> 00:08:08.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But to tell you the level
00:08:08.221 --> 00:08:11.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of despair like I was in,
00:08:11.457 --> 00:08:12.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the only way I really know
00:08:12.491 --> 00:08:13.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
how to describe it is
00:08:13.526 --> 00:08:14.560 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
imagine if you're drowning
00:08:14.627 --> 00:08:15.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and you're chained
00:08:15.795 --> 00:08:16.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the bottom
00:08:16.796 --> 00:08:17.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of a swimming pool
00:08:17.864 --> 00:08:18.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and how desperate
00:08:18.898 --> 00:08:19.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
would you be
00:08:20.066 --> 00:08:21.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for one breath of air.
00:08:21.133 --> 00:08:22.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
But you never drown,
00:08:22.301 --> 00:08:23.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
you never die.
00:08:23.469 --> 00:08:24.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Like you're in that level
00:08:24.637 --> 00:08:25.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
of panic, that state
00:08:25.805 --> 00:08:26.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of panic all the time.
00:08:26.973 --> 00:08:28.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
On top of that,
00:08:28.107 --> 00:08:29.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I was completely ashamed
00:08:29.175 --> 00:08:30.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because I was felt like
00:08:30.276 --> 00:08:31.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a failed at my job.
00:08:31.410 --> 00:08:32.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So that's when my wife
00:08:32.478 --> 00:08:33.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and counselor
00:08:33.512 --> 00:08:34.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
talked me into getting
00:08:34.547 --> 00:08:35.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
into the wrestling matches,
00:08:35.548 --> 00:08:36.549 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and trying to find something
00:08:36.616 --> 00:08:37.617 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
to keep me busy.
00:08:37.683 --> 00:08:38.684 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
JAMES: You know,
00:08:38.751 --> 00:08:39.785 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
I don't even think
00:08:39.852 --> 00:08:40.953 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
I have to be a Christian
00:08:41.020 --> 00:08:42.054 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
or love God very much
00:08:42.121 --> 00:08:43.122 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
to just fall in love
00:08:43.189 --> 00:08:44.156 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
with the person
00:08:44.223 --> 00:08:45.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I'm listening to
00:08:45.258 --> 00:08:46.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
even in the midst
00:08:46.459 --> 00:08:47.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of your struggle.
00:08:47.493 --> 00:08:48.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Because I see a guy that
00:08:48.594 --> 00:08:49.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
had some real tough times
00:08:49.629 --> 00:08:50.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
as a kid
00:08:50.830 --> 00:08:51.931 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but really respected
00:08:51.998 --> 00:08:52.999 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what his dad did,
00:08:53.065 --> 00:08:54.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
even though
00:08:54.133 --> 00:08:55.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
things weren't right.
00:08:55.201 --> 00:08:56.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Over there you're just
00:08:56.202 --> 00:08:57.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the middle of hell
00:08:57.904 --> 00:08:58.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you were able to love
00:08:58.938 --> 00:08:59.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the ones that you were taught
00:09:00.006 --> 00:09:01.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
were your enemy
00:09:01.173 --> 00:09:02.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but you brought them over
00:09:02.341 --> 00:09:03.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and they began to fight
00:09:03.542 --> 00:09:04.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for the same freedom
00:09:04.710 --> 00:09:05.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
you felt like
00:09:05.811 --> 00:09:06.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you were fighting for.
00:09:06.913 --> 00:09:07.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You were not only fighting
00:09:07.947 --> 00:09:09.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for our freedom
00:09:09.081 --> 00:09:10.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but you were actually
00:09:10.283 --> 00:09:11.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
fighting for the freedom
00:09:11.450 --> 00:09:12.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of the Afghan people.
00:09:12.451 --> 00:09:13.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We've been teaching,
00:09:13.552 --> 00:09:14.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Franklin Graham and I
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and others,
00:09:15.955 --> 00:09:16.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we've been teaching English
00:09:17.056 --> 00:09:18.124 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to the girls in their schools
00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:19.191 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
over there for years.
00:09:19.258 --> 00:09:20.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I've been supporting
00:09:20.326 --> 00:09:21.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
mission outreaches
00:09:21.394 --> 00:09:22.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
just like Franklin does
00:09:22.461 --> 00:09:23.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
with Samaritan's Purse.
00:09:23.562 --> 00:09:24.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So I love these people
00:09:24.597 --> 00:09:25.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that have been used.
00:09:25.631 --> 00:09:26.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So everything you've said
00:09:26.632 --> 00:09:27.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you've just caused me
00:09:27.633 --> 00:09:28.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to love you.
00:09:28.668 --> 00:09:29.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I see you as a hurting person
00:09:29.702 --> 00:09:30.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
where you are now.
00:09:30.736 --> 00:09:31.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
How long did it take you
00:09:31.737 --> 00:09:32.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to know something
00:09:32.738 --> 00:09:33.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
was really drastically wrong
00:09:33.739 --> 00:09:34.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
when he was coming home?
00:09:34.774 --> 00:09:35.775 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
This simply was not normal.
00:09:35.841 --> 00:09:36.809 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
KATHY: It took a while
00:09:36.876 --> 00:09:39.578 align:start line:69% position:10% size:63%
because there was a lot--
00:09:39.645 --> 00:09:40.913 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
there was a lot of anger
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:43.182 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
that we started with
00:09:43.249 --> 00:09:44.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in the marriage.
00:09:44.450 --> 00:09:46.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It's only because of
00:09:46.152 --> 00:09:47.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what he had experienced
00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:48.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
growing up.
00:09:48.854 --> 00:09:51.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So the immaturity,
00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:52.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the youth in us
00:09:52.158 --> 00:09:53.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
getting married at 18,
00:09:53.326 --> 00:09:54.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
19 years old
00:09:54.760 --> 00:09:55.928 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and trying to figure it out
00:09:55.995 --> 00:09:56.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and how to be married
00:09:57.029 --> 00:09:58.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
was not easy.
00:09:58.798 --> 00:10:00.599 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
So that anger in him
00:10:00.666 --> 00:10:01.834 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
was something
00:10:01.901 --> 00:10:02.935 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I was kind of used to
00:10:03.002 --> 00:10:04.437 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and almost in a way
00:10:04.503 --> 00:10:05.771 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
as it would get worse
00:10:05.838 --> 00:10:06.939 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
with him dealing
00:10:07.006 --> 00:10:08.140 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
with these struggles
00:10:08.207 --> 00:10:09.342 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
he was dealing with,
00:10:09.408 --> 00:10:10.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it almost made me just feel...
00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:13.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was just so naive
00:10:13.579 --> 00:10:15.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to understand
00:10:15.214 --> 00:10:16.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that it was something
00:10:16.415 --> 00:10:17.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
he was going through.
00:10:17.483 --> 00:10:18.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I just thought
00:10:18.651 --> 00:10:19.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
something was wrong with me.
00:10:19.819 --> 00:10:20.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What am I doing wrong?
00:10:21.053 --> 00:10:22.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Where I think
00:10:22.355 --> 00:10:23.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a lot of young moms
00:10:23.556 --> 00:10:24.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
go through that.
00:10:24.623 --> 00:10:25.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Young wives go through that.
00:10:25.758 --> 00:10:27.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
What am I doing wrong?
00:10:27.193 --> 00:10:30.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Of course, being...
00:10:30.863 --> 00:10:31.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
going through
00:10:32.064 --> 00:10:33.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
what he's going through
00:10:33.132 --> 00:10:34.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and me not really
00:10:34.433 --> 00:10:35.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
understanding and having
00:10:35.568 --> 00:10:36.669 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
this friction between us
00:10:36.736 --> 00:10:37.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
this wall
00:10:37.870 --> 00:10:39.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
just started to build.
00:10:39.071 --> 00:10:40.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
JAMES: Did you still
00:10:40.106 --> 00:10:41.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
feel love for him
00:10:41.307 --> 00:10:42.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the midst of it?
00:10:42.308 --> 00:10:43.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
KATHY: Yes!
00:10:43.442 --> 00:10:44.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I loved him through it.
00:10:44.777 --> 00:10:45.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I just got to a point
00:10:46.012 --> 00:10:47.380 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
after three years of it,
00:10:47.446 --> 00:10:48.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of just, I didn't know
00:10:48.714 --> 00:10:49.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
how to do it anymore.
00:10:49.849 --> 00:10:54.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I didn't know how
00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:55.755 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to love him through it.
00:10:55.821 --> 00:10:57.256 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
BETTY: Did you feel like
00:10:57.323 --> 00:10:58.657 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
well, he's been there,
00:10:58.724 --> 00:10:59.792 align:start line:69% position:10% size:30%
he's fought,
00:10:59.859 --> 00:11:00.860 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
put that behind you.
00:11:00.926 --> 00:11:01.861 align:start line:69% position:10% size:58%
Now you need to be here
00:11:01.927 --> 00:11:04.130 align:start line:69% position:10% size:70%
and be a husband and father;
00:11:04.196 --> 00:11:05.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and that's a new life
00:11:05.297 --> 00:11:06.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you.
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.333 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Did you find that
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:08.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
hard for him
00:11:08.501 --> 00:11:09.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to separate the two?
00:11:09.602 --> 00:11:10.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
KATHY: Yes,
00:11:10.803 --> 00:11:11.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it was definitely,
00:11:12.004 --> 00:11:13.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that seemed normal to me.
00:11:13.239 --> 00:11:14.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I don't know if I ever even
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
thought about it that way
00:11:15.574 --> 00:11:17.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because I did such a...
00:11:17.343 --> 00:11:19.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for me, I just knew how
00:11:19.445 --> 00:11:21.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to go forward and be the mom,
00:11:21.414 --> 00:11:23.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
be the dad of the home
00:11:23.082 --> 00:11:24.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and just take care
00:11:24.283 --> 00:11:25.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of everything.
00:11:25.451 --> 00:11:26.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I don't know if I ever
00:11:26.719 --> 00:11:28.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
completely had that feeling.
00:11:28.687 --> 00:11:29.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Maybe there was
00:11:29.955 --> 00:11:30.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
definitely a desire.
00:11:31.023 --> 00:11:32.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I wished that he would
00:11:32.558 --> 00:11:33.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
put that aside
00:11:33.793 --> 00:11:37.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and that he could be the dad
00:11:37.897 --> 00:11:40.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:11:40.099 --> 00:11:41.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
One thing that worked out
00:11:41.934 --> 00:11:43.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
really great for him
00:11:43.135 --> 00:11:44.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is that my boys
00:11:44.336 --> 00:11:45.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
loved jiu jitsu.
00:11:45.638 --> 00:11:46.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So that was something
00:11:46.739 --> 00:11:47.907 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that they were able
00:11:47.973 --> 00:11:49.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to connect with on the mats.
00:11:49.075 --> 00:11:50.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
JAMES: You became a fighter.
00:11:50.309 --> 00:11:51.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
You were a champion fighter,
00:11:51.444 --> 00:11:52.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
right?
00:11:52.578 --> 00:11:53.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
CHAD: One of the things
00:11:53.979 --> 00:11:55.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
my wife and my counselor
00:11:55.114 --> 00:11:56.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
tried to do is get me
00:11:56.482 --> 00:11:57.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to do something
00:11:57.783 --> 00:11:58.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I did my whole life
00:11:58.984 --> 00:12:00.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
since I was five years old
00:12:00.252 --> 00:12:01.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is martial arts.
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:02.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I was already
00:12:02.688 --> 00:12:04.090 align:start line:69% position:10% size:70%
professional M.M.A. Fighter;
00:12:04.156 --> 00:12:05.257 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
I was doing it on the side
00:12:05.324 --> 00:12:06.392 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
from the military.
00:12:06.459 --> 00:12:07.660 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
And so I just dove into that.
00:12:07.726 --> 00:12:08.894 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
Like somebody would dive
00:12:08.961 --> 00:12:09.895 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
into a bottom of alcohol
00:12:09.962 --> 00:12:11.163 align:start line:69% position:10% size:68%
or drugs, I dove into that.
00:12:11.230 --> 00:12:12.331 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I think martial arts
00:12:12.398 --> 00:12:13.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
is great.
00:12:13.466 --> 00:12:14.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And physical activity
00:12:14.633 --> 00:12:15.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
is great for people
00:12:15.734 --> 00:12:16.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
struggling with depression
00:12:16.769 --> 00:12:17.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and anxiety.
00:12:17.803 --> 00:12:18.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But I really abused that.
00:12:18.904 --> 00:12:19.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: You seem pleasant
00:12:19.972 --> 00:12:21.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
right now.
00:12:21.273 --> 00:12:22.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Would you put a facade on
00:12:22.441 --> 00:12:23.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that they didn't know
00:12:23.576 --> 00:12:24.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what was about to get them?
00:12:24.877 --> 00:12:26.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Or were you filled
00:12:26.112 --> 00:12:27.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
with anger?
00:12:27.313 --> 00:12:28.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Were you like
00:12:28.481 --> 00:12:29.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a whole different demeanor?
00:12:29.615 --> 00:12:30.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
CHAD: No; as a competitor,
00:12:30.749 --> 00:12:32.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as a professional fighter,
00:12:32.151 --> 00:12:33.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I never allowed myself
00:12:33.552 --> 00:12:34.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to bring anger in there.
00:12:34.753 --> 00:12:35.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I like to be composed.
00:12:36.021 --> 00:12:37.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I feel like
00:12:37.123 --> 00:12:38.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the more composed I am
00:12:38.224 --> 00:12:39.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the better I perform.
00:12:39.525 --> 00:12:40.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
KATHY: And that's where
00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:41.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I had a hard time at
00:12:41.861 --> 00:12:42.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because he did so well
00:12:43.028 --> 00:12:44.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on those mats
00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:46.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and yet at home
00:12:46.165 --> 00:12:48.267 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
he didn't compose himself.
00:12:48.334 --> 00:12:50.169 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
He was hurting us at home.
00:12:50.236 --> 00:12:52.805 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
And I'd long to have
00:12:52.872 --> 00:12:55.141 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
that same appreciation
00:12:55.207 --> 00:12:56.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
or that same kind of attitude
00:12:56.509 --> 00:12:57.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
at home.
00:12:57.810 --> 00:12:59.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
But yet if you asked him too
00:12:59.245 --> 00:13:00.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
he would turn around,
00:13:00.346 --> 00:13:01.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
well, I wish that
00:13:01.881 --> 00:13:04.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
she was like this
00:13:04.083 --> 00:13:05.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
or she was like that.
00:13:05.851 --> 00:13:08.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We just got to a point of,
00:13:08.687 --> 00:13:09.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I wasn't filling his cup,
00:13:09.788 --> 00:13:10.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
he wasn't filling my cup.
00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:12.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And I didn't know
00:13:12.358 --> 00:13:13.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
how to respond.
00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:14.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
JAMES: I've got
00:13:14.693 --> 00:13:15.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to move forward here
00:13:15.961 --> 00:13:17.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
because I think
00:13:17.296 --> 00:13:19.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you're two beautiful people
00:13:19.298 --> 00:13:20.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I think the beauty
00:13:20.599 --> 00:13:21.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that's in you
00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:22.968 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
is the love of God
00:13:23.035 --> 00:13:24.336 align:start line:69% position:10% size:50%
and the life of God.
00:13:24.403 --> 00:13:28.374 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
And you've started a ministry
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.609 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
to the military
00:13:30.676 --> 00:13:32.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to have what you had;
00:13:32.511 --> 00:13:33.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
it had them.
00:13:33.612 --> 00:13:34.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
As a matter of fact,
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:35.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you're the president, right?
00:13:35.881 --> 00:13:36.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And it's destroying him.
00:13:37.016 --> 00:13:38.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It's a horrific slow death
00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:39.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and it is a death
00:13:39.618 --> 00:13:40.819 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and a torment
00:13:40.886 --> 00:13:41.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to everybody around you.
00:13:42.054 --> 00:13:43.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
It breaks my heart.
00:13:43.189 --> 00:13:44.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Boy, you started reaching out.
00:13:44.223 --> 00:13:45.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
How is that going?
00:13:45.357 --> 00:13:46.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Tell us how in the world
00:13:46.525 --> 00:13:47.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you got moved into it.
00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:48.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
CHAD: At the rock bottom
00:13:48.928 --> 00:13:50.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of it, what we went through,
00:13:50.296 --> 00:13:51.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we found ourselves
00:13:51.630 --> 00:13:52.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
facing a divorce, separated,
00:13:52.965 --> 00:13:54.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and I found myself alone
00:13:54.266 --> 00:13:55.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in an apartment
00:13:55.301 --> 00:13:56.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and I attempted
00:13:56.535 --> 00:13:57.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to take my life.
00:13:57.770 --> 00:13:59.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Kathy intervened.
00:13:59.238 --> 00:14:00.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
On the other side
00:14:00.739 --> 00:14:02.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
of that journey
00:14:02.374 --> 00:14:03.842 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
was some mentorship,
00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:05.044 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
a restoration with
00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:06.545 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
my relationship with Christ
00:14:06.612 --> 00:14:08.214 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and then a deep burden
00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:09.582 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that God put on my heart
00:14:09.648 --> 00:14:10.716 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
to pay forward
00:14:10.783 --> 00:14:12.051 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
what I discovered with others.
00:14:12.117 --> 00:14:14.420 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
And so that manifested in us
00:14:14.486 --> 00:14:15.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
taking what we'd learned
00:14:15.788 --> 00:14:16.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and discovered essentially
00:14:16.956 --> 00:14:17.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the solution to the problems
00:14:18.057 --> 00:14:19.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
you're talking about,
00:14:19.091 --> 00:14:20.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to the 22 suicides a day,
00:14:20.326 --> 00:14:21.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the 80 percent divorce rate,
00:14:21.493 --> 00:14:23.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the 30 percent of guys
00:14:23.295 --> 00:14:24.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who are being diagnosed
00:14:24.563 --> 00:14:25.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
with P.T.S.D.
00:14:25.664 --> 00:14:26.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a solution to all
00:14:26.765 --> 00:14:27.800 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
these problems which is
00:14:27.866 --> 00:14:28.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a relationship with Christ
00:14:29.001 --> 00:14:30.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and living the lives
00:14:30.169 --> 00:14:31.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he created us to live.
00:14:31.237 --> 00:14:32.204 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We wanted to share that
00:14:32.271 --> 00:14:33.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
with others.
00:14:33.305 --> 00:14:34.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We started The Mighty Oaks
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Foundation ten years ago.
00:14:35.474 --> 00:14:36.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Where did you get
00:14:36.508 --> 00:14:37.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
the name?
00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:38.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
CHAD: Isaiah 61,
00:14:38.711 --> 00:14:39.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
which is the verse
00:14:39.845 --> 00:14:40.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that I believe God called us
00:14:40.913 --> 00:14:42.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to do this through.
00:14:42.414 --> 00:14:43.349 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JAMES: And you're raising
00:14:43.415 --> 00:14:44.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
them up.
00:14:44.416 --> 00:14:45.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
CHAD: Raising them up.
00:14:45.417 --> 00:14:46.352 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JAMES: Making them stand
00:14:46.418 --> 00:14:47.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and cast a peaceful shadow;
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:48.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that's what they do.
00:14:48.654 --> 00:14:49.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
CHAD: From the ashes
00:14:49.722 --> 00:14:50.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to mighty oaks.
00:14:50.923 --> 00:14:52.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
KATHY: I love the part
00:14:52.091 --> 00:14:53.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
when he explained it to me.
00:14:53.092 --> 00:14:55.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I really didn't have trust
00:14:55.494 --> 00:14:56.762 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in Chad yet.
00:14:56.829 --> 00:14:57.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
It had only been a year
00:14:57.896 --> 00:14:59.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of our restoration
00:14:59.098 --> 00:15:00.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and he's reading this to me
00:15:00.266 --> 00:15:01.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and every bit of me
00:15:01.967 --> 00:15:03.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
wanted to say,
00:15:03.168 --> 00:15:04.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what are you thinking?
00:15:04.336 --> 00:15:05.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But when he read me Isaiah 61
00:15:05.804 --> 00:15:07.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I said, "And it will be
00:15:07.273 --> 00:15:09.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
called mighty oaks."
00:15:09.141 --> 00:15:11.777 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And that was it.
00:15:11.844 --> 00:15:12.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JAMES: And Dave Roever,
00:15:13.045 --> 00:15:14.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
who has been here many times.
00:15:14.280 --> 00:15:15.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Dave, we love you.
00:15:15.447 --> 00:15:16.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I'm so sorry about
00:15:16.582 --> 00:15:17.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
your sweetheart.
00:15:17.750 --> 00:15:18.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We love you, buddy.
00:15:18.917 --> 00:15:20.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He's put his arms
00:15:20.252 --> 00:15:21.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
around a lot of people here
00:15:21.387 --> 00:15:22.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and around the world.
00:15:22.521 --> 00:15:23.555 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And he helped you.
00:15:23.622 --> 00:15:25.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But you've got the foundation
00:15:25.090 --> 00:15:26.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and you're reaching out
00:15:26.558 --> 00:15:27.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to these military
00:15:27.793 --> 00:15:30.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that have this challenge.
00:15:30.562 --> 00:15:31.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
If people want to know
00:15:31.764 --> 00:15:32.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and again, I'm trying
00:15:32.798 --> 00:15:33.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to cover ground here.
00:15:33.932 --> 00:15:34.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We don't have the timeframe
00:15:34.933 --> 00:15:36.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Oprah and Dr. Phil
00:15:36.902 --> 00:15:38.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and some of them have,
00:15:38.304 --> 00:15:40.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but if they want to know
00:15:40.272 --> 00:15:41.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what you're doing, and
00:15:41.473 --> 00:15:42.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
how to support it where
00:15:42.708 --> 00:15:44.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
do they go to learn about
00:15:44.243 --> 00:15:45.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the Mighty Oaks and how
00:15:45.377 --> 00:15:46.412 align:start line:69% position:10% size:63%
they can be a part of it?
00:15:46.478 --> 00:15:47.479 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
CHAD: MightyOaksPrograms.org.
00:15:47.546 --> 00:15:48.547 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
We do several things.
00:15:48.614 --> 00:15:49.648 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
One is resiliency.
00:15:49.715 --> 00:15:50.649 align:start line:69% position:10% size:35%
I've spoken to
00:15:50.716 --> 00:15:51.650 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
150,000 active duty troops
00:15:51.717 --> 00:15:52.685 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
around the world,
00:15:52.751 --> 00:15:53.752 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
on spiritual resiliency.
00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:54.887 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
And then we have
00:15:54.953 --> 00:15:56.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a recovery program,
00:15:56.155 --> 00:15:57.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we have five ranches
00:15:57.222 --> 00:15:58.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that they come to the program
00:15:58.290 --> 00:15:59.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
active duty, veterans,
00:15:59.425 --> 00:16:00.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and their spouses--
00:16:00.526 --> 00:16:01.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
first responders.
00:16:01.560 --> 00:16:02.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We pay for everything
00:16:02.795 --> 00:16:03.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
including their travel.
00:16:03.896 --> 00:16:04.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We put 4,000 warriors
00:16:05.030 --> 00:16:05.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
through those programs
00:16:06.065 --> 00:16:07.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and we're doing a thousand
00:16:07.132 --> 00:16:08.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
this year.
00:16:08.334 --> 00:16:09.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
JAMES: So that's supported
00:16:09.335 --> 00:16:10.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
by somebody.
00:16:10.402 --> 00:16:11.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
The people...
00:16:11.537 --> 00:16:12.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
That's what I'm saying.
00:16:12.604 --> 00:16:13.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's not like you've got
00:16:13.672 --> 00:16:14.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
some big business
00:16:14.773 --> 00:16:15.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that you're not such
00:16:15.941 --> 00:16:17.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a champion fighter now
00:16:17.109 --> 00:16:18.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
beating up and being as rich
00:16:18.110 --> 00:16:19.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as some of those fighters.
00:16:19.144 --> 00:16:20.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So you're fighting
00:16:20.245 --> 00:16:21.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for their lives
00:16:21.313 --> 00:16:22.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and their future.
00:16:22.481 --> 00:16:23.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
The website
00:16:23.649 --> 00:16:24.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
if they want to help you.
00:16:25.017 --> 00:16:26.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
CHAD: We're fighting
00:16:26.118 --> 00:16:27.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for their lives,
00:16:27.119 --> 00:16:28.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
their marriages,
00:16:28.354 --> 00:16:29.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
their eternities
00:16:29.355 --> 00:16:31.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and we need help to do it.
00:16:31.590 --> 00:16:32.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
JAMES: All right,
00:16:32.624 --> 00:16:33.625 align:start line:69% position:10% size:70%
how do they find you online?
00:16:33.692 --> 00:16:35.728 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
CHAD: MightyOaksPrograms.org.
00:16:35.794 --> 00:16:38.130 align:start line:69% position:10% size:75%
JAMES: MightyOaksPrograms.org.
00:16:38.197 --> 00:16:39.732 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
We try to get arms
00:16:39.798 --> 00:16:40.933 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
around everybody.
00:16:40.999 --> 00:16:42.067 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
And one of the things
00:16:42.134 --> 00:16:43.202 align:start line:69% position:10% size:35%
that I know...
00:16:43.268 --> 00:16:44.303 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
By the way, if you'd like
00:16:44.370 --> 00:16:45.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to have the book,
00:16:45.604 --> 00:16:46.939 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
you simply help us
00:16:47.005 --> 00:16:48.874 align:start line:69% position:10% size:35%
love some kids
00:16:48.941 --> 00:16:50.175 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
that are starving,
00:16:50.242 --> 00:16:51.276 align:start line:69% position:10% size:70%
which I know you'll want to.
00:16:51.343 --> 00:16:52.411 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
You're the most
00:16:52.478 --> 00:16:53.512 align:start line:69% position:10% size:43%
amazing audience.
00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:54.613 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
I don't have to guard
00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:56.014 align:start line:69% position:10% size:38%
your resources.
00:16:56.081 --> 00:16:57.249 align:start line:69% position:10% size:40%
You're overseers
00:16:57.316 --> 00:16:58.450 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
of the resources God's
00:16:58.517 --> 00:17:00.619 align:start line:69% position:10% size:63%
entrusted you to oversee.
00:17:00.686 --> 00:17:01.987 align:start line:69% position:10% size:65%
The viewers of LIFE Today,
00:17:02.054 --> 00:17:03.188 align:start line:69% position:10% size:58%
I think you're the best
00:17:03.255 --> 00:17:04.490 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
overseers on the planet.
00:17:04.556 --> 00:17:06.825 align:start line:69% position:10% size:63%
So that's why it's joyful
00:17:06.892 --> 00:17:08.093 align:start line:69% position:10% size:53%
sharing this with you
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:09.328 align:start line:69% position:10% size:55%
because we want to get
00:17:09.395 --> 00:17:10.562 align:start line:69% position:10% size:63%
our arms around every one
00:17:10.629 --> 00:17:11.830 align:start line:69% position:10% size:60%
of these military people
00:17:11.897 --> 00:17:13.132 align:start line:69% position:10% size:73%
that have been hurt so deeply
00:17:13.198 --> 00:17:14.533 align:start line:69% position:10% size:45%
trying to help us.
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:15.734 align:start line:69% position:10% size:35%
Do you get it?
00:17:15.801 --> 00:17:17.035 align:start line:69% position:10% size:35%
Please get it!
00:17:17.102 --> 00:17:18.570 align:start line:69% position:10% size:30%
So go there.
00:17:18.637 --> 00:17:21.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Let me just say this to you.
00:17:21.473 --> 00:17:22.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Right now we're feeding
00:17:22.975 --> 00:17:25.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
350,000 children a day
00:17:25.511 --> 00:17:26.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that we have found.
00:17:26.678 --> 00:17:28.113 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We, missionaries,
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
planted their lives
00:17:29.415 --> 00:17:30.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in the midst of hell
00:17:30.582 --> 00:17:32.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to get these kids life
00:17:32.751 --> 00:17:33.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and a future
00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:35.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and their families;
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:36.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
350,000 of them right now.
00:17:36.722 --> 00:17:37.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
We'll need some big time help.
00:17:37.956 --> 00:17:39.124 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I'm believing
00:17:39.191 --> 00:17:40.225 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
with all my heart...
00:17:40.292 --> 00:17:41.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Father, I just believe
00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:42.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
everybody listening
00:17:42.528 --> 00:17:43.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is going to say, hey,
00:17:43.662 --> 00:17:44.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we're going to help
00:17:44.696 --> 00:17:45.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
those military families.
00:17:45.864 --> 00:17:46.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And we're going
00:17:47.032 --> 00:17:48.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to help these children.
00:17:48.267 --> 00:17:49.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And we're going to help
00:17:49.401 --> 00:17:50.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
the malnourished;
00:17:50.436 --> 00:17:51.403 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
we're going to be the miracle,
00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:52.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in Jesus' name.
00:17:52.638 --> 00:17:53.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I want you to listen
00:17:53.806 --> 00:17:54.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to Isak Pretorius,
00:17:54.873 --> 00:17:55.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
30 years or more now
00:17:56.008 --> 00:17:57.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
we've been working together to
00:17:57.075 --> 00:17:58.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
get God's arms around people
00:17:58.177 --> 00:17:59.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and you've been helping.
00:17:59.278 --> 00:18:01.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Watch this closely.
00:18:03.582 --> 00:18:05.951 align:start line:10% position:23% size:55%
Angola is experiencing
a prolonged drought,
00:18:06.018 --> 00:18:07.953 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
resulting in nearly
two million people
00:18:08.020 --> 00:18:12.791 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
facing a food crisis
because of failed crops.
00:18:12.858 --> 00:18:15.027 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
Chronic malnutrition
currently affects
00:18:15.093 --> 00:18:19.164 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
40% of Angola's children
under the age of five.
00:18:22.434 --> 00:18:25.237 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
ISAK: We're here in a village
in a rural part of Angola,
00:18:25.304 --> 00:18:27.639 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
where mission feeding
has not been able
00:18:27.706 --> 00:18:29.975 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
to reach
this village yet.
00:18:30.042 --> 00:18:32.678 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
You'll see there's a lot
of mothers, some fathers,
00:18:32.744 --> 00:18:34.746 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
many children
that are here.
00:18:34.813 --> 00:18:37.082 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
As we've come
into this village
00:18:37.149 --> 00:18:39.551 align:center line:63% position:50% size:58%
and we started to speak
to mother after mother,
00:18:39.618 --> 00:18:41.753 align:center line:63% position:50% size:43%
and listen
to their stories,
00:18:41.820 --> 00:18:44.490 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
what we've heard is
the story of the tragedy
00:18:44.556 --> 00:18:48.393 align:center line:63% position:50% size:75%
that happens when
mission feeding isn't present.
00:18:56.235 --> 00:19:01.840 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
This little boy, Paulo,
his mother, Rosalina
00:19:01.907 --> 00:19:05.077 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
explained to us that
he's two years old.
00:19:05.143 --> 00:19:07.412 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
As I look at
this little boy,
00:19:07.479 --> 00:19:10.749 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
I can literally see
how his ribs are protruding
00:19:10.816 --> 00:19:13.986 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
and his little legs
are so thin.
00:19:14.052 --> 00:19:16.154 align:start line:79% position:30% size:38%
Little arms,
we haven't done
00:19:16.221 --> 00:19:18.223 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
a circumference measurement
on him yet,
00:19:18.290 --> 00:19:22.361 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
but I can tell you that
it would be in the red.
00:19:22.427 --> 00:19:25.364 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
Imagine what it must be like
to be a father or a mother
00:19:25.430 --> 00:19:28.600 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
where your child
sees food,
00:19:28.667 --> 00:19:32.738 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
says, I'm hungry
and you can't respond.
00:19:32.804 --> 00:19:35.374 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
You don't have anything
to give them.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:37.509 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
Not because you don't
love them enough,
00:19:37.576 --> 00:19:39.711 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
not because you don't
desperately want
00:19:39.778 --> 00:19:42.114 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
to give them
what they're asking for,
00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:45.584 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
and what you know
that they need,
00:19:45.651 --> 00:19:48.453 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
but because
you don't have it.
00:19:48.520 --> 00:19:52.090 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
You don't have the food
that your child needs
00:19:52.157 --> 00:19:54.893 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
to be sustained
to be alive.
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:59.131 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
That's how little boys
like Paulo end up here.
00:19:59.197 --> 00:20:01.300 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
It's not
one missed meal.
00:20:01.366 --> 00:20:06.872 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
It's day after day of not
having sufficient nutrition.
00:20:06.939 --> 00:20:11.176 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
So please don't try
and forget what you've heard.
00:20:11.243 --> 00:20:13.779 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
Don't try and forget
what you've seen,
00:20:13.845 --> 00:20:16.815 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
but rather
open your heart and act,
00:20:16.882 --> 00:20:20.185 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
because your action today
is literally an answer
00:20:20.252 --> 00:20:23.655 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
to a child's cry
for food.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
JAMES: Wow!
00:20:30.362 --> 00:20:31.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
I believe
00:20:31.763 --> 00:20:32.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you hear God's voice
00:20:33.031 --> 00:20:34.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
through the missionary,
00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:35.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
through Isak,
00:20:35.467 --> 00:20:36.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
through all those efforts
00:20:36.735 --> 00:20:37.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that are going forth from
00:20:38.036 --> 00:20:39.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the mission relief workers.
00:20:39.571 --> 00:20:40.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The reason I bring this up
00:20:41.006 --> 00:20:42.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
while we're talking
00:20:42.307 --> 00:20:43.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
about these children is
00:20:43.508 --> 00:20:44.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that there are battles
00:20:44.810 --> 00:20:45.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and struggles here,
00:20:45.978 --> 00:20:47.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
just like the ones
00:20:47.179 --> 00:20:48.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that our guests
00:20:48.413 --> 00:20:49.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
are trying to meet
00:20:49.615 --> 00:20:50.816 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with the love of God,
00:20:50.882 --> 00:20:52.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
by reaching out to others.
00:20:52.117 --> 00:20:55.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
You are offering the hope
00:20:55.554 --> 00:20:56.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that those people need
00:20:56.722 --> 00:20:58.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who have been impacted.
00:20:58.123 --> 00:20:59.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I want to ask you right now
00:20:59.825 --> 00:21:05.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
if you would, just say,
00:21:05.631 --> 00:21:06.898 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
God, show me what
00:21:06.965 --> 00:21:08.333 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
you want me to do and
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:09.668 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
you'll enable me to do.
00:21:09.735 --> 00:21:11.036 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
And I'll do it.
00:21:11.103 --> 00:21:12.571 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Please understand that
00:21:12.638 --> 00:21:14.139 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
we're able to feed three,
00:21:14.206 --> 00:21:15.507 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
five or ten children,
00:21:15.574 --> 00:21:17.976 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
not total child care
00:21:18.043 --> 00:21:20.379 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
but save their lives
00:21:20.445 --> 00:21:21.546 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
in the feeding program;
00:21:21.613 --> 00:21:22.714 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
350,000 right now
00:21:22.781 --> 00:21:24.783 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
we're feeding every day.
00:21:25.117 --> 00:21:26.485 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
When I say "we"
00:21:26.551 --> 00:21:27.986 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
that means you, all of us.
00:21:28.053 --> 00:21:29.655 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
$30, three children
00:21:29.721 --> 00:21:31.189 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
for the next months;
00:21:31.256 --> 00:21:33.759 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
$50, five children;
00:21:33.825 --> 00:21:35.661 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
$100, ten children.
00:21:35.727 --> 00:21:37.329 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
There could be somebody
00:21:37.396 --> 00:21:38.664 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
that would say,
00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:39.998 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
"I can do it."
00:21:40.065 --> 00:21:41.333 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
I don't know what you can do
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.534 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
but I know that if everybody
00:21:42.601 --> 00:21:43.602 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
gave $1,000 toward it
00:21:43.669 --> 00:21:44.670 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
that's watching now
00:21:44.736 --> 00:21:45.971 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
we'd be on the way.
00:21:46.038 --> 00:21:47.039 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Betty, I'm just praying
00:21:47.105 --> 00:21:48.340 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
that everybody will do it.
00:21:48.407 --> 00:21:49.641 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
We want to bless you
00:21:49.708 --> 00:21:50.709 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
with some gifts
00:21:50.776 --> 00:21:51.777 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
that will inspire you
00:21:51.843 --> 00:21:52.978 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
and comfort you.
00:21:53.045 --> 00:21:54.212 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
But you're going
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.514 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
to be giving people
00:21:55.580 --> 00:21:56.715 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
the greatest gift,
00:21:56.782 --> 00:21:57.883 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
you're giving them life.
00:21:57.949 --> 00:21:59.151 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
Would you right now go online,
00:21:59.217 --> 00:22:00.419 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
would you dial that number
00:22:00.485 --> 00:22:01.687 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
that's always there
00:22:01.753 --> 00:22:02.888 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
as a prayer line?
00:22:02.954 --> 00:22:04.122 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Would you take your bankcard
00:22:04.189 --> 00:22:05.457 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and use it like a check?
00:22:05.524 --> 00:22:06.658 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
And then you make the check
00:22:06.725 --> 00:22:07.859 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
for what God leads you
00:22:07.926 --> 00:22:09.394 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
to make the check out to.
00:22:09.461 --> 00:22:11.663 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Or put it on your bankcard.
00:22:11.730 --> 00:22:13.565 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Please do it right now.
00:22:13.632 --> 00:22:15.300 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Thank you so much.
00:22:16.301 --> 00:22:19.538 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Right now, across
the continent of Africa,
00:22:19.604 --> 00:22:22.007 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
children are suffering,
facing severe malnutrition
00:22:22.074 --> 00:22:24.076 align:center line:58% position:50% size:20%
and even
death.
00:22:24.142 --> 00:22:26.211 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
With food reserves
critically depleted
00:22:26.278 --> 00:22:29.381 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
and many areas experiencing
devastating famine,
00:22:29.448 --> 00:22:31.817 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
we urgently need
to replenish supplies
00:22:31.883 --> 00:22:35.087 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
to keep feeding
the 350,000 children
00:22:35.153 --> 00:22:37.923 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
who are counting on us
every single day.
00:22:37.989 --> 00:22:39.958 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%

00:22:42.027 --> 00:22:44.596 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%

00:22:44.663 --> 00:22:46.598 align:center line:58% position:50% size:33%

that those
00:23:24.169 --> 00:23:26.705 align:center line:10% position:38% size:53%
who trust in the Lord

RANDY: I'm here
at a malnutrition clinic
00:23:48.794 --> 00:23:51.062 align:center line:53% position:50% size:53%
in Boma, South Sudan.
00:23:51.129 --> 00:23:53.131 align:start line:47% position:20% size:58%
You can see the mothers
are here.
00:23:53.198 --> 00:23:55.433 align:start line:47% position:30% size:38%
They've brought
their children.
00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:59.604 align:start line:10% position:15% size:70%
They're here for one reason:
the children are sick.
00:23:59.671 --> 00:24:02.774 align:start line:10% position:18% size:63%
We're seeing the symptoms
of malnutrition
00:24:02.841 --> 00:24:07.445 align:center line:10% position:50% size:73%
in their skin, in their hair,
in their bones protruding,
00:24:07.512 --> 00:24:09.114 align:center line:10% position:50% size:65%
and in their listlessness.
00:24:09.181 --> 00:24:11.716 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
We're seeing that
right now.
00:24:11.783 --> 00:24:14.653 align:start line:10% position:18% size:65%
Their chances,
like I said, are not good.
00:24:14.719 --> 00:24:17.189 align:start line:10% position:20% size:58%
There are other mothers
in other villages,
00:24:17.255 --> 00:24:19.491 align:center line:10% position:50% size:45%
some several days'
walk from here,
00:24:19.558 --> 00:24:21.726 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%
who can't make
the journey
00:24:21.793 --> 00:24:24.663 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
to this malnutrition clinic
in time.
00:24:24.729 --> 00:24:26.364 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
We need
to move farther.
00:24:26.431 --> 00:24:28.867 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
We need to continue
the operations that
are going.
00:24:28.934 --> 00:24:30.602 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
We need to move
further into places
00:24:30.669 --> 00:24:33.338 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%
where children
are dying.
00:24:33.405 --> 00:24:35.207 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
You can give them
a chance.
00:24:35.273 --> 00:24:37.676 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
You do it by
partnering with us today.
00:24:37.742 --> 00:24:40.912 align:center line:53% position:50% size:65%
You do it by going online,
going to the phone,
00:24:40.979 --> 00:24:43.582 align:center line:53% position:50% size:70%
making the best gift you can
towards mission feeding,
00:24:43.648 --> 00:24:47.052 align:center line:53% position:50% size:55%
and saying,
You know what? I care.
00:24:47.118 --> 00:24:50.055 align:center line:10% position:50% size:63%
I want to give that child
a better chance.
00:24:50.121 --> 00:24:52.090 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
Will you do it today?
00:24:53.558 --> 00:24:54.893 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
JAMES: I don't know
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.996 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
when I've ever felt so moved
00:24:58.063 --> 00:24:59.264 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
where I just said, God,
00:24:59.331 --> 00:25:02.000 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
please, please, please!
00:25:02.067 --> 00:25:03.168 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Help the children
00:25:03.235 --> 00:25:04.970 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and their families.
00:25:05.036 --> 00:25:08.573 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
God, help Chad and Kathy.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.975 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
Get your arms around
00:25:10.041 --> 00:25:11.042 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
the people who made it
00:25:11.109 --> 00:25:12.177 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
possible for us to get
00:25:12.244 --> 00:25:13.345 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
our arms around our kids
00:25:13.411 --> 00:25:15.480 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
and our grandkids.
00:25:15.547 --> 00:25:16.715 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I mean Chad and all
00:25:16.781 --> 00:25:17.782 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the military, they fought
00:25:17.849 --> 00:25:19.084 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
for our grandchildren,
00:25:19.150 --> 00:25:20.452 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
11 of them and now soon to be
00:25:20.518 --> 00:25:22.087 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
11 great grandchildren
00:25:22.153 --> 00:25:23.588 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
for the freedom.
00:25:23.655 --> 00:25:25.423 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Man, I love you.
00:25:25.490 --> 00:25:27.592 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
If you'd like to have his book
00:25:27.659 --> 00:25:28.760 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and you just said, James,
00:25:28.827 --> 00:25:29.995 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
we helped you with some food,
00:25:30.061 --> 00:25:31.229 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
would you send us
00:25:31.296 --> 00:25:32.297 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
that book too?
00:25:32.364 --> 00:25:33.665 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
You better believe it.
00:25:33.732 --> 00:25:34.900 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Maybe you know someone
00:25:34.966 --> 00:25:36.134 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
in the military
00:25:36.201 --> 00:25:37.302 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
you want to get it to.
00:25:37.369 --> 00:25:38.536 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
And then you go back and see,
00:25:38.603 --> 00:25:39.704 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
there is the website
00:25:39.771 --> 00:25:41.006 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and you can even find it
00:25:41.072 --> 00:25:42.274 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
on LifeToday.org.
00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:43.675 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
I want you to help them with
00:25:43.742 --> 00:25:45.043 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
this Mighty Oaks Foundation.
00:25:45.110 --> 00:25:46.311 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
I want to hear great things
00:25:46.378 --> 00:25:47.646 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
about it.
00:25:47.712 --> 00:25:48.747 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I want y'all to let me know
00:25:48.813 --> 00:25:49.915 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
what's going on.
00:25:49.981 --> 00:25:51.149 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
I want you to think about
00:25:51.216 --> 00:25:52.517 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
coming back maybe annually
00:25:52.584 --> 00:25:53.885 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
and give us a report
00:25:53.952 --> 00:25:54.986 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
on what's happening.
00:25:55.053 --> 00:25:56.221 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
I want to know if people
00:25:56.288 --> 00:25:57.389 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
watching LIFE Today started
00:25:57.455 --> 00:25:58.556 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
helping you share life today
00:25:58.623 --> 00:26:00.158 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
because we love both of you.
00:26:00.225 --> 00:26:01.393 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
Do you feel that?
00:26:01.459 --> 00:26:02.661 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
KATHY: Yes. Thank you.
