 GORGEOUS, IT'S -- GOOD MORNING,
YOU'RE JOINING US ALIVE FOR
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY.
>> GOOD MORNING.
WHAT IS THE SONG WE'LL BE
SINGING?
>>  IT'S CALLED "WHO YOU SAY I
AM. GOOD MORNING, IT'S -- GOOD 
MORNING, YOU'RE JOINING US ALIV 
FOR LIBERTY UNIVERSITY.
I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ONE
OF OUR WORSHIP COLLECTIVE
MEMBERS.
NATHAN.
I LOVE YOU, BUDDY.
I WATCHED YOU THE FIRST TIME YOU
LED.
YOU'RE NOW A JUNIOR, UPPER CLASS
MAN LEADING ALL THE TIME.
THE FIRST TIME I REMEMBER YOU
LEADING WORSHIP WAS ACTUALLY
WHEN WE HAD AN EASTER WEEKEND
AND WE WERE LEADING THE WORSHIP
COLLECTIVE OUT OF THREE TEAMS
LOCALLY AT THE NATURAL BRIDGE
ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY AND THEY WERE
LEADING DOMESTICALLY IN FLORIDA
FOR HURRICANE VICTIMS AND A
FUNDRAISER THERE AND THEN
NATURALLY WITH YOU IN A SOCCER
STADIUM.
THERE WERE 35 OR 40,000 PEOPLE
THERE.
YOU WERE LEADING THE SET
COMPLETELY IN BE SPA ISSUE.
I WAS WATCHING ON MY PHONE LIVE
STREAM AND BLOWN AWAY BY GOD'S
ANOINTING ON YOUR LIFE.
WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE
FOR YOU?
>>  IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
TO BE ABLE TO GO AND SEE A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE
WORLD AND THEN SEE THE IMPACT OF
GOSPEL.
YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY ON THAT
TEAM.
ALTHOUGH WE GET TO PARTY -- THE
IMPACTFUL THING IS WHEN WE WERE
AT THE SHELTER SERVING PEOPLE
BECAUSE THAT DID GIVE US SUCH A
UNIQUE AND HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE
GOSPEL, LIKE, MAN, THIS IS WHAT
IT'S ABOUT.
HEAR THE MESSAGES OF JESUS.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
I LOVED IT.
>> I LOVED THAT ABOUT YOUR
HEART, MAN.
YOU WERE LOADING WORSHIP AT THE
HOMELESS SHELTER IN COLOMBIA AND
THE SOCCER STADIUM IN COLOMBIA.
YOU'RE NOT SPANISH.
YOU'RE PUERTO RICAN, RIGHT?
>>  RIGHT.
>> THAT IS SUCH A GREAT TOOL GOD
IS GIVING YOU.
TELL US ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
SONG.
>> WHAT A TIME IN AMERICA, WHERE
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IS
DIVIDED AND NOTHING IN THE
MIDDLE.
WE'RE GOING TO BE SINGING WITH
JESUS IN THE CENTER.
I BELIEVE ALL THE THINGS WE ARE
EXPERIENCING, THERE'S A SAYING
GOING AROUND NOW THAT A LOT OF
THE HURT, THE PAIN, IS A REAL
SYMPTOM OF THE PAIN, WHICH IS
SIN.
AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL, AFTER
EVERYTHING THE NEGATIVE YOU CAN
POSSESS IS SIN.
WHAT IS THE ANSWER.
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
THAT IS WHAT WE'LL BE SINGING
ABOUT AND DECLARING OVER OUR
HEARTS AND OUR SCHOOL AND OVER
THE WORLD.
>> AMEN.
HERE IT IS.
 
>> THAT'S NOT JUST A POWERFUL
SONG, BUT SUCH A POWERFUL RARE,
TO BRING OUR HEARTS TO GOD AND
SAY IF THERE IS ANYTHING OUT OF
ALIGNMENT, RECENTER ME GOD, PUT
JESUS BACK INTO THE CENTER OF
EVERY ASPECT OF OUR BEING.
OUR GUEST TODAY IS A MINISTRY
LEGEND.
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN FAITHFUL IN
MINISTRY FOR OVER 40 YEARS,
PASTOR JOHNNY HUNT.
HE WAS POSTTORS OF ONE OF THE
GREAT CHURCHES OF OUR COUNTRY,
FIRST BAPTIST WOODSTOCK.
HE SERVED AS PRESIDENT OF HE
VANDALISM AND LEADERSHIP FOR THE
BOARD.
HE IS A PERSONAL FRIEND AND
MENTOR TO ME AND SOMEONE I
LOOKED TO FOR YEARS AS JUST AN
EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO
WITNESS WITH YOUR LIFE.
LET'S WATCH THIS TOGETHER.
JOHNNY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
YOU'RE SUCH A HERO TO ME.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT IT MEANT
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS TO SEE YOU
AS A ROLE MODEL.
EVERY TIME I WAS AT YOUR CHURCH
YOU WERE NOT OUT OF TOWN, YOU
WERE THERE.
YOU INVITED LOST FRIENDS YOU
INVITED OVER THE WEEK.
YOU'RE JUST GETTING STARTED.
I GOT TO TELL YOU BEFORE WE GET
GOING, I HAVE NOTES FROM LONG
BREAKFASTS, LONG LUNCHES WITH
YOU WHERE I SAT AND LIKE WORE
OUT NINE, 10 NAPKINS, WENT BACK,
WROTE THEM IN MY JOURNAL AND
PRINCIPLES YOU TAUGHT ME, SIR,
THAT I STILL APPLY IN MY LIFE.
BEFORE WE GET GOING, THANKS FOR
THE WITNESS AND TESTIMONY AND
MENTOR YOU ARE IN MY LIFE.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
ARE YOU DOING WELL?
>>  I'M DOING GOOD AND THAT IS
ENCOURAGING TO ME BECAUSE I'M A
BIG FAN OF YOURS.
IF GOD USED ME TO MAKE AN
INVESTMENT IN YOUR LIFE, THANK
YOU, YOU FOR GIVING ME
OFTEN GREAT RETURN IN THE
INVESTMENT.
>> I WAS CHURCH PLANNING.
I WAS DROWNING IN CHURCH
PLANNING THE LAST TIME WE HAD
LOVED ONE OF.
GOVERNORS, ELDERS, LEADERS.
WE SAT AT THAT SEAFOOD
RESTAURANT FOR THREE OR FOUR
HOURS.
Y WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.
I SEE IS AS AN AUTHORITY ON SOUL
WINNING, ON WITNESSING, ADVANCE
LIMP.
THAT IS CERTAINLY THE ROLE --
VANDALISM.
CAN YOU D SHALL EVANGELISM.
GIVE US YOUR TESTIMONY.
HOW THIS IS VERY PERSONAL FOR
YOU.
GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR
LIFE STORY.
>> LET ME BE QUICK TO SAY IF I
WAS DOWNSTAIRS IN MY OTHER
OFFICE, ONE OF THE MOST
PROMINENT THINGS THAT STICKS OUT
OF MY OFFICE IS A LITTLE PLAQUE
OF THE ADDRESS WHERE I WAS
RAISED AT A PROJECT.
MY DAD CHECKED OUT WHEN I WAS
SEVEN, LEFT MY MOTHER WITH SIX
CHILDREN.
SHE WORKED TWO JOBS LIVING IN
THE PROJECT.
WHEN I WAS 16 I DROPPED OUT OF
SCHOOLING, I HUNG OUT WAY POOL
HALL.
THEY ASKED ME TO WORK THERE.
THEY ASKED ME TO WORK THERE.
MANY DAYS I BECAME POOL.
I BECAME GOOD.
MY LIFE GOAL WHEN HE WAS 19 AND
20 WAS TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL
POOL PLAYER.
MANY BELIEVED THE REASON THEY
MADE IT BIG, THE REASON WHERE
THEY ARE IS BECAUSE I'M NOT
AHEAD OF THEM.
BUT I REALLY WAS A GOOD PLAYER
AND A HUSTLE.
I DID THAT.
JUST NO PURPOSE AND DIRECTION IN
LIFE.
ARRESTED ON THREE DIFFERENT
CHARGES.
I'M ASHAMED OF ALL THAT, BUT
IT'S JUST WHO I WAS.
IN THE HOOD AND KIND OF A HOOD
LUMP.
SOMEBODY INVITED ME TO THE
CHURCH.
85% OF PEOPLE INVITED TO CHURCH
WERE INVITED -- GOSPEL SINGING
THAT WILL SPEAK TO THEIR HEART
AND A MESSAGE AND PEOPLE PRAYING
AND BELIEVING THE GOSPEL IS
STILL THE POWER OF THE GOD IS
SALVATION.
THE SOMEBODY INVITED ME TO
CHURCH AND I WENT MAYBE ABOUT
THREE WEEKS AND THE GOSPEL PEN
TRADED MY HEART.
THE BIBLE SAID -- [
INDISCERNIBLE ] -- I STRUGGLED
ON THAT.
CAN I HOLDOUT.
I NEVER OWNED A BIBLE, NEVER
BEEN TO A SUNDAY SCHOOL, NEVER
BEEN TO A SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICE,
BUT I WAS UNDER SUCH CONVICTION
IN A MORNING SERVICE I WENT BACK
THAT NIGHT BECAUSE THE PASTOR
SAID THIS.
THERE IS A YOUNG MAN HERE, IT'S
APPARENT GOD IS DEALING WITH
HIM.
LET'S PRAY IN THE CONGREGATION
THAT GOD WILL BRING HIM BACK AND
SAVE HIM.
THE MIRACLE IS IT SNOWED THAT
NIGHT.
IT WAS A SNOWY NIGHT.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THAT.
I WENT BECAUSE THERE WAS A DEEP
NEED.
GOD CHANGED THE LANGUAGE FROM
THE POOL ROOM AND IT WAS NOT
LONG AT ALL I SENSED GOD WANTED
TO DO SOMETHING WITH MY LIFE.
I WENT BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL.
AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS I FINISHED
THE GED.
THEN I WENT TO SEAT SEMINARY.
ANYBODY THAT NEEDS TO BE
ENCOURAGED, I SERVED AS
PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION, LARGEST BODY ON --
THE ONLY REASON I SAID THAT IS
THE GOD CAN TAKE THAT IS THE GOD
CAN BRING ME FROM WHERE I WAS,
IT'S WHAT GOD PLACE IN THE ME, I
KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND, I KNOW GOD
CAN USE ANY OF US.
I DON'T KNOW THAT HE WAS LOOKING
FOR A NUMBER TO LEAD -- A MUSLIM
TO LEAD OUT AT LIBERTY
UNIVERSITY.
>> I KNOW.
>> SO IT'S ALL WHETHER WHAT MADE
THE DIFFERENCE IS SOMETIMES
PEOPLE SAY I JUST DON'T FEEL
LIKE I HAVE THAT MUCH TO OFFER.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS I REALLY
DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER
EXCEPT MY SIN, AND HE GIVES ME
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HIS
DISPOSITION IN NATURE IN ME AS
THE POTENTIAL TO DO ANYTHING GOD
WOULD WANT TO DO.
BEFORE AFTER HE BROUGHT ME TO
CHRIST I WAS THE FIRST CHRISTIAN
IN MY FAMILY AND GOD REALLY
BROKE MY HEART FOR MY FAMILY.
SOMETIMES WE PRAY, OH OUR LORD,
PRAY FOR OUR FAMILIES, ACCEPTED
SOMEONE TO HIM.
WHO COULD POSSIBLY LOVE YOU MORE
THAN YOU.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO SHARE.
IT'S NOT HOW EQUIPPED WE ARE,
IT'S NOT HOW PASSIONATE AND
BURDEN WE ARE.
WE DON'T NEED MORE RESOURCES.
WE NEED TO PLUG INTO THE
RESOURCE OF GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT,
BE A WITNESS TO WHETHER OR NOT
CHRIST HAS DONE FOR YOU.
>> SO SPEAKING OF YOUR POWERFUL
TESTIMONY, DEFINE EVANGELISM FOR
IS.
IS IT TESTIMONIAL, THE BLOOD OF
THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF OUR
TESTIMONY?
YOU JUST SHARED YOUR STORY.
IT'S CAPTIVATING TO SEE HOW FAR
GOD BROUGHT YOU.
HOW LONG DO YOU SHARE YOUR
STORY, HOW OFTEN DO YOU NOT.
YOU'RE JUST SO NATURAL ON IT.
I'D LOVE TO HEAR YOU THOUGHTS ON
JUST WHAT IS EVANGELISM.
>> I TELL MY STORY, BUT I ALSO
TELL MY STORY, BUT I WRAP IT
WITH THE GOSPEL.
THREE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF
SALVATION, NOT JOHNNY HUNT'S
STORY.
I TELL A GUY THIS WHILE I'M
TALKING TO HIM, I WANT TO REMIND
YOU, GOD LOVED YOU, IT'S THE
GOSPEL, I'M GOING TO GET THE
GOSPEL IN THERE.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
EVANGELISM IS LITERALLY THE
SHARING OF THE GOOD NEWS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE GOSPEL.
I WAS OUT AT DALLAS THE OTHER
SOMEDAY, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN
DALLAS JUST BY ITS REPUTATION
HAS SO MANY VIEWERS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THEY STAY
ON, BUT WEIGH THE MORNING I WAS
ON THEY SAID 210,000 PEOPLE.
DR. JEFFREY SAID WOULD YOU DO ME
A FAVOR.
WHEN YOU FINISH WOULD YOU LOOK
AT THE CAMERA AND AS QUICKLY AS
YOU CAN, BUT CLEARLY, CONCISE,
COMPELLING, GIVE THE GOSPEL.
HERE IS THE GOSPEL TO ME,
EVANGELISM.
JESUS CHRIST IS WILLING TO
FORGIVE ME OF MY SENSES.
HE WILL FORGIVE -- MY SINS.
WHEN I COME TO JESUS CHRIST,
NUMBER ONE, SIN IS FORGIVEN.
NUMBER TWO, GOD PLACES HIS
NATURE AND DISPOSITION IN ME.
GOD COMES TO LIVE INSIDE OF ME.
THE LIGHT I FEEL I'M NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE TO LIVE I CAN'T.
THAT'S WHY HE LIVES IN ME.
HE'LL LIVE THIS LIFE THROUGH
ME.
LAST OF ALL HE HAS DRIVEN MY
SINS, HE'S COME TO LIVE IN ME.
THIS IS GOOD FOR A KID WHOSE DAD
CHECKED OUT.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NEVER
FORSAKE YOU, BUT HE GIVES ME THE
GIFT OF EVERLASTING LIFE.
IN LESS THAN A MINUTE THAT IS
THE CRUX OF IT, BUT THEN I COULD
TALK ABOUT IT ALL DAY FROM
DIFFERENT TEXTS, BUT SIN IS
FORGIVEN, GOD LIVES IN ME AND
I'M GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
THAT IS THE EVANGELISM, THE
GOSPEL, TELLING THAT STORY.
>> RIGHT.
AS FAR AS TELLING THAT STORY,
OBVIOUSLY THIS PANDEMIC SEASON
HAS GIVEN US SOME DISTRICT
ADVANTAGES THE WAY WE'RE
GATHERING, MAYBE SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT WERE AFFORDED TO US
THAT WERE NOT, BUT IT'S ALSO
GIVEN US A LOT OF ADVANTAGES.
TALK ABOUT WITNESSING THROUGH
THIS PANDEMIC SEASON.
I KNOW YOU YOURSELF ARE JUST A
SOUL WINNER.
HOW ARE YOU EQUIPPING CHURCHES
TO SEIZE THE MOMENT, NOT WASTE
THE PANDEMIC.
>> HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO
THEM.
WILL I BE BETTER WHEN THIS IS
OVER?
SINCE WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT, IT'S WORLDWIDE,
BUT CAN WE JUST BE REMINDED OF
JOSEPH'S STORY -- 50/50% OF THE
CHURCHES OUT MAY NOT COME BACK,
THAT IS NOT GOOD.
>> RIGHT.
>> BUT CAN GOD BRING FOR GOOD.
COULDN'T IT BE A PERJURYING
RIGHT NOW.
COULDN'T THIS BE THE FRESH HOLD
OF A GREAT AWAKENING, WHAT Y'ALL
ARE SENSING AND SEEING AND THE
REASON WE'RE DOING THIS
INTERVIEW RIGHT NOW.
BUT WE WENT ONLINE AND I DID
VIRTUAL TRAINING.
SO SOMEONE CAN GO TO
WHOISYOURONE.COM.
I PREACH ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST
PASSIONATE LESSONS GOD GAVE ME.
BY THE WAY, JESUS WAS A SOUL.
IN JOHN CHAPTER ONE, JESUS LED
HIM TO CHRIST HIMSELF.
WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, HEY, MAN,
HOW CAN YOU COME TO KNOW CHRIST
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HE'LL SAY THIS.
CHRIST WIDTH TO ME AND LED ME TO
HIMSELF.
PHILLIP, TELL ME.
ANDREW WAS BROUGHT TO JESUS BY
JESUS.
WE BRINGS ME TO THIS POINT.
JESUS NEVER ASKED US US TO DO
ANYTHING HE WAS NOT ALREADY
DOING.
HE MOLD HE WOULD IT FOR US.
FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE TRAINING
PEOPLE AND WE'RE GIVING
EXAMPLES.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE CULL
YOUR THE -- CULTURE OF
EVANGELISM, THAT COMES BY THE
STORIES.
IT REMINDS ME THIS WEEK.
MY WIFE AND I MOVED INTO A HOME,
WE HAD THREE FAMILIES WE DIDN'T
KNOW.
IF THEY'LL GO TO
NAMB.NET/EVANGELISM, "BLESS
EVERY HOME," YOU CAN BLESS EVERY
HOME, TYPE IN YOUR ADDRESS, IT
WILL TELL YOU WHO YOUR FIVE
CLOSEST NEIGHBORS ARE.
IT NORMALLY GIVES NUMBERS,
NAMES, CHILDREN, OCCUPATION.
WE PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE.
IT'S FREE.
I GOT THREE NEIGHBORS -- FOUR
I'D NOT MET.
I WAS NEW, COVID HIT.
TEXT THEM.
ONE WAS A PILOT, JUST RETIRED
FROM DELTA, I HAVE A LOT IN
COMMON BECAUSE I PROBABLY FLOWN
BEHIND HIM.
HE THROUGH TO ARGENTINA.
I'VE BEEN 22 TIMES.
WOULD BE BOB, MY NAME IS
JOHNNY.
I LIVE NEXT TO YOU AT 4072.
LISTEN, JANET AND I MAKE IT A
GOOD PRIORITY TO BE GOOD
NEIGHBORS.
I KNOW WE'RE IN COVID-19.
WHERE THEY WERE COMFORTABLE LIKE
US, THEY SORT OF CAME DOWN.
WE JUST SAID, BOY, WE WANT TO
MEET OUR NEIGHBORS AND BE GOOD
NEIGHBORS.
I SAID SO -- BUT I BOUGHT THEM
AN 18-POUND PORK ROOST AND HAD
THIS -- ROAST TO COOK IT.
IN THIS BAG I PUT A NICE
DEVOTIONAL.
MY LIFE STORY, 27 PAGES, AND
THEN A NICE GIFT FROM WOODSTOCK,
LIKE NOT THE CHURCH, BUT
WOODSTOCK, LIKE MUGS THAT STAY
WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA.
WE JUST SAID WE'RE HERE.
HERE IS OUR MOBILE.
IF WE COULD EVER DO ANYTHING FOR
YOU.
WE SAID WE COULD NOT BELIEVE
THIS.
YOU DIDN'T COME TO Y'ALL.
Y'ALL CAME TO US.
ONE LADY WAS JEWISH AND SHE WAS
THE FIRST ONE TO THANK ME FOR
THE PORK.
THAT WAS A BLESSING.
WHEN I FOUND THAT OUT I THOUGHT,
OH, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER A
TURKEY.
I WAS PREACHING AT AT WOODSTOCK
TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT.
Y'ALL KNOW OUR PASTOR FOR YEARS,
I'M TRADITIONING, TOMORROW I'M
SPEAKING AND MAYBE YOU'LL BE
INTERESTED IN THIS SUBJECT.
CAN GOOD COME OUT OF TRIBES.
I'M PREACHING FROM MY FAVORITE
BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
I'LL BE HONEST, I DIDN'T HEAR
BACK FROM A SINGLE ONE.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DIDN'T
WATCH ME.
THEN WAITED ABOUT A MONTH, I
THEY TEXTED ME.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO BE OVER
SO WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER
GRILLING IN YARDS.
I SAID I WANT TO BE GOOD
NEIGHBORS.
IT'S A REAL TRYING TIME FOR
FAMILIES.
JANET AND I SPEND TIME PRAYING
EVERYDAY.
IF YOU HAVE ANY NEED WHATSOEVER
IN YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY OUR
FRIENDS, PLEASE TEXT US ANYTIME
AND KNOW WE'LL PRAY.
AGAIN, I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING
FROM THEM, BUT I'M STILL
PRESSING IN.
S JOHNNY BROUGHT US A MEAL, HE
WROTE A BOOK, GAVE US A COPY.
WE'RE WORKING.
SO WE CAN MOVE IN DURING THIS
TIME.
I'M TRAVELING A LITTLE SINCE
JUNE, SO THAT PUTS ME IN THAT
ENVIRONMENT ON A PLANE.
THEY'RE SIGNATURE ACROSS THE
AISLE, YOU CAN TALK TO THEM.
SO JUST LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES.
HERE IS WHAT WE'RE MISSING.
THINK ABOUT THIS, DAVID.
WHEN JESUS REALLY SAVES JOHN THE
APOSTLE, ANDREW AND PHILLIP,
HERE IS WHAT HE DID.
ANDREW DID WHAT?
WENT AND FOUND HIS BROTHER,
SIMON PETER.
HERE AS GREAT ONE LINE.
GOD MAY USE YOU TO REACH ONE,
BUT THE ONE YOU REACH MAY REACH
THOUSANDS.
>> WOW.
>> BUT HE WENT AFTER FAMILY.
ANDREW MODELED GOING AFTER
FAMILY.
ELLA, WHEN PHILLIP GOT CONVERTED
HE WENT AFTER HIS FRIEND
NATHANIEL.
HE WAS A SKEPTIC.
HE COINED THESE WORDS.
THE ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF
NAZARETH.
SEEMS A LITTLE SKEPTICAL
ACTUAL.
HE SAID, HEY, COME AND SEE.
WHY DON'T YOU COME ONE NIGHT TO
THE CAMPUS WITH ME FOR THIS
SERVICE.
MY PASTOR IS PREACHING COMING
HERE.
THEY CAME AND SAW AND JESUS
CHANGED HI HIS LIFE.
WHAT HE WAS AMAZED IN IS THAT
JESUS KNEW IT.
DIDN'T MATTER WHO WE BRING.
GUESS WHAT, JESUS KNOWS THEM.
WE USED TO SAY, MAN, GOD HAD
YOUR NUMBER.
NO, NO, NO NO, NO, GOD KNOWS
YOUR NAME.
BUT WE'VE GOD TO GET THE
STUDENTS AND THE PEOPLE IN OUR
CHURCH TO REALIZE PEOPLE THAT
ARE LOST WITHOUT GOD THAT GOT TO
BE HONEST ABOUT IS JESUS SPOKE
OF HEALTH THREE TIMES IN, THEY
WILL DIE AND GO TO HELL WITHOUT
THE GOSPEL.
NO ONE GOES TO HEAVEN WITHOUT
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST AND
THEY'LL NEVER HEAR ABOUT THAT
WITHOUT VANDALISM, WHICH IS
THE -- EVANGELISM, WHICH IS THE
SHARING OF THE GOSPEL.
>> YOU JUST TOUCHED ON SOMETHING
WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE AREN'T.
ANYONE LISTENING YOU TO
REMEMBERS THE HOUR THEY FIRST
BELIEVED.
THEY ARE REMINDED HOW SOMEONE
DARED TO SHARE WITH THEM,
WHETHER IT WAS A GRANDMOTHER,
SCHOOL TEACHER, CAMPUS PASTOR,
SOMEBODY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS STOPPING
PEOPLE.
IS IT FEAR, PRESENCE, LACK OF
KNOWLEDGE IN THE DESCRIPTION,
WHY ARE PEOPLE NOT SHARING IN
THE GOSPEL NEARLY AS MUCH?
>>  RESEARCH HAS SHOWN WE CAN'T
DANCE AROUND IT.
IT IS FEAR.
FEAR WE BECOME SELF CENTERED
INSTEAD OF OTHER CENTERED.
WE WOULDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT HE
CAME OVER AND TOLD ME HOW BAD HE
IS, HOW GOOD HE IS.
I'M DOING THIS EVERY DAY.
I'VE HEARD A LOT.
IT'S A VISION.
LET ME DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY
VISION.
IF I COULD GET EVERY STUDENT AT
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY TO THINK
VISION, WHAT YOU SEE.
WE SEE PEOPLE IN THEIR
ACTUALALITIES AND IT SCARES US.
HE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE
GOSPEL.
LOOK AT AN ACTUALAL TEE AND SAY
NO WAY, BUDDY.
DO A STUDY.
SIMON MEANS WAVERING ONE.
JESUS CHRIST, SEES US NOT FOR
WHO WE ARE.
HE SEES US FOR WHO WE CAN
BECOME.
WOULDN'T BE COOL IF -- IN
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, A FEW
YEARS AGO, A LITTLE GUY NAMED
BILLY GRAHAM, SOMEBODY INVITED
HIM TO THAT CRUSADE AND GOD
CHANGED HIS LIFE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO BROUGHT HIM OR
ENCOURAGED HIM.
THE ONE THEY INVITED TOUCHED
MORE PEOPLE THAN ANYONE THUS FAR
WHO LIVED IN HUMILITY, PREACHED
TO MORE PEOPLE EYEBALL TO
EYEBALL THAN ANYONE IN
HUMANITY.
IF WE REALLY BELIEVE THE PERSON
IN THEIR ACTUALITY COULD BECOME
WHAT WE LIKE THEM TO BECOME IN
POSSIBILITY, THEY WOULD LEAD
WHILE YOU'RE SHARING.
I WOULD LIKE TO BE THE ONE THAT
WOULD SHARE WITH HIM.
>> CERTAINLY THE WIN IN WINNING
PEOPLE IS THE OBEDIENCE.
WE'RE OBEDIENT AND WE DO WHAT
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IS TO GO
OUT TO ALL THE WORLD AND SHARE
THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST WITH
THEM.
IT MIGHT BE THAT WE DON'T GET TO
SEE THAT COME INTO FRUITION.
IT MIGHT BE WE'RE THE ONES
PUTTING THE SEED IN, THE ONES
DOING THE WATERING.
SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT COME IN AND
BE ABLE TO SEAT LATER.
BUT THE WIN IS OBEDIENCE.
I LOVE WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
WE ACTUALLY DEFINE AROUND HERE
IN THEIR HONOR.
SEEING THEIR PIT FALLS.
THE WOMAN AT THE WELL, HE SEES
HER IN HERE ACTUALITY.
HE SEES JESUS AS A FISHERMAN.
SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO MOTIVE
VIOLATE 15,000 STUDENTS THIS
MORNING TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
SO UTILIZED SO GOOD TO BE
REMINDED OF THAT.
TALK TO US ABOUT CREATING A
CULTURE OF SOUL WINNING,
EVANGELISM.
WE WANT TO BE MORE THAN EVER
INTELLIGENCE ABOUT -- ABOUT
GOING OUT AND HAVING GOSPEL
CONVERSATIONS.
WORDS ARE NECESSARY.
>> THEY'RE NECESSARY.
>> TALK TO US ABOUT HOW WE CAN
BECOME AS A UNIVERSITY, AS
COMMUNITY GROUPS, WE HAVE 1100
COMMUNITY GROUPS HERE, MORE
EVANGELISTIC, WHERE SEVEN GUYS
SAY WHY DON'T WE GO OUT TODAY
AND BE INTELLIGENCE ABOUT
SHARING THE GOSPEL.
HOW CAN YOU SHARE THAT CULTURE
AT WOODSTOCK?
YOU MUST MODEL IT.
THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
FOR INSTANCE, I'M CONSTANTLY
PREACHING.
I TALK ABOUT YOU WERE THERE.
YOU COULD CALL JEREMY MORTON
RIGHT NOW AND HE WILL TELL YOU
THAT IT IS TRUE HE SHARED WITH
THE CHURCH RECENTLY, HE WAS
UNDER CONVICTION, HE HAD TO MOVE
DOWN A FEW SEATS.
HE COULDN'T SIT BESIDE ME
BECAUSE I HAD THESE LOST MEN
SITTING THERE.
I WAS SAY MAJOR LAKE IN SOUTH
CAROLINA WITH 11 MEN.
HE IS A MASSIVE GUY.
I HAVE HIS TESTIMONY ON VIDEO.
RANDY, OWNS A MAJOR STOCK
COMPANY.
25 YEARS AGO I LED HIM TO FAITH
IN JESUS CHRIST.
THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN RADICALLY
CHANGED BY THE GOSPEL, BUT
THEY'RE FRUIT FROM EARLY, EARLY
DAYS OF LABOR.
I'M CONSTANTLY WHEN I'M
PREACHING I'M TELLING THE
STORIES OF SOMEONE WHO
WITNESSED.
THE SOMEONE WERE TO GO TO DINNER
WITH ME TONIGHT, SOMEONE WOULD
COME TO THE TABLE AND WAIT ON
US.
IN A MOMENT I'D SAY THIS.
MY WIFE AND I ARE GETTING READY
TO RETURN THANKS.
CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU YOU FOR
EGG?
SOMEONE ELSE ASKED ME, ARE YOU
SEEING ANY RESULTS?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THE LARGEST MAN IN WOODSTOCK, HE
SAID I WONDER WHY I'M NOT
WINNING TO ANYBODY IN JESUS.
I SPEND ALL MY TIME WITH THE
BODY OF CHRIST.
IF YOU'RE NOT INTELLIGENCE,
LET'S TALK ABOUT MY SCHEDULE
WHEN COVID IS OVER.
SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN I'M IN
WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA, IF YOU'RE IN
TOWN AND YOU WANT TO HANG OUT
WITH ME, JOIN ME AT THE DIXIE
SPEEDWAY.
WHY?
OVER 5,000 PEOPLE, I'M THEIR
CHAPLAIN.
I HAVE MY WIFE'S PICKING UP THE
COPY, FREE BIBLES.
I'VE BEEN THERE 25 YEARS.
I'VE GOT THE STORIES I LED TO
THE PEOPLE OF CHRIST.
WHEN YOU'RE READING JOHN, BILL,
BILL TELLS HOW HE DAME TO
JESUS.
WE HAVE JESUS VIDEOS.
I GIVE THE INVOCATION AND I JUST
LOVE ON THEM.
I'VE BEEN GOING THERE SO LONG,
THEY SAY REVEREND, CAN I SEE YOU
MORE A MINUTE, THEY COME OVER
AND GOV ME A PRAYER REQUEST.
I SAY TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT.
I MAY EVEN TRY TO VISIT THEIR
LOVED ONES IN THE HOSPITAL
PRE-COVID, BUT THEN I'LL SAY
THIS.
TELL ME YOUR NAME NOW.
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, I CAN SEE
YOU'RE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT
YOUR SISTER.
ARE YOU ATTENDING A CHURCH.
YOU KNOW, BROTHER JOHNNY I USED
TO GO.
HERE IS WHAT I'M DOING TO REALLY
CREATE A CULTURE.
SOMEBODY COMES UP TO ME, WILL
YOU PRAY FOR MY MOTHER.
MY JOURNAL IS NOW IN MY PHONE.
72 UMS REAL SPECIAL NEEDS,
THERE'S A BREAK THROUGH.
I PUT MY NAME IN THERE WERE.
HERE IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ANSWER
I GET.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
I'M FEARFUL IT IS MORE ACCURATE
OR NOT.
THEY DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THEY
NEVER ASKED.
I HAVE TO SAY MAMA, DID JESUS
EVER SAFE YOUR LIFE.
YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN I WAS 19
YEARS OLD, THEY MAY START
WEEPING ABOUT HOW THEY TRAILED
OFF, HOW THEY WANT TO COME
BACK.
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU
ASK.
IT'S A GENUINE CONCERN.
BUT GOD FORBID, MY MOM IS IN
HEAVEN.
I LED MY MOM TO THE LORD, MY MOM
JOINED MY CHURCH WHEN I WAS IN
WILMINGTON AND SHE DIED WHEN I
WAS HER PASTOR.
I KNOW SHE LOVED GOD.
I TALKED TO MY SISTER THIS
MORNING, I LED MY SISTERS TO THE
LORD, MY BROTHER.
HE'S BEEN PASTORING 10 MILES
NORTH OF ME FOR THE LAST 30
YEARS.
SO I LED HIM TO CHRIST.
HE'S A BAPTIST PREACHER.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HE WAS.
HE WAS GREEDY.
HE WAS HEADSTRONG, REAL BAD
TEMPER.
DRANK LIKE A FISH.
BUT YET RELIGION.
SLIPPED INTO CHURCH.
HE SAID TO ME I KNOW YOU'RE
GOING TO CHURCH.
HEAR MY STORY.
CHRIST IS IN MY LIFE.
I'M A DIFFERENT MAN.
I THINK TO.
I LED HIM TO CHRIST AND BAPTIZED
HIM AND FOR 30 HE SERVED AS HOPE
WELL BAPTIST CHURCH 10 MILES
FROM ME.
I WOULDN'T TELL THAT STORY AT
WOODSTOCK ABOUT WHERE HE WAS.
I'D TELL THEM HE WAS 150 MILES
NORTH, SO THEY WOULDN'T GO TO
HIS CHURCH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
>>  WHO COULD LOVE NORMAN MORE
THAN JOHNNY.
DAY, JESUS CHANGED MY LIFE.
WHO SHOULD KNOW IT MORE THAN MY
IMMEDIATE FAMILY THAT WATCHED ME
GAMBLE.
I SAID TO MY MOM TO GET HER TO
GO TO CHURCH, MOTHER, HAVE YOU
NOTICED YOU HAVEN'T HAD TO GO TO
THE JAIL SINCE I GOT SAVED.
SHE HAD TO MUSIC ME UP FOR
STEALING, FIGHTING, DRUNK
DRIVING AND TOTALING MY SISTER'S
CAR.
MY MOM HAD BEEN TO THE Y'ALL
THREE TIMES AT NIGHT TO GET ME
OUT OF JAIL, BUT SHE'S NEVER HAD
TO GO TO THE JAIL SINCE JESUS
CAME IN.
MY MOM SAID THAT NIGHT DO I HAVE
TIME TO CHANGE CLOSES.
I TELL THIS STORY SO PEOPLE CAN
THINK ABOUT THEIR OWN MOM.
MY MOM WAS SITTING NEXT TO ME IN
CHURCH.
THE CHOIR SANCTION.
BOW YOUR HEAD.
I ASKED THE PEOPLE DO YOU EVER
PEEK.
THE SOMEBODY IS BESIDE YOU, THEY
START TO MOVE, CAN'T YOU FEEL
THAT MOVEMENT.
I'LL NEVER FORGET AS LONG AS I
LIVE, LOOKING AND WATCHING MAMA
SLIP OUT AND GO DOWN FRONT AND
SURRENDER HER LIFE TO JESUS
CHRIST.
SHE'S BEEN WITH THE LORD 35
YEARS, BUT GUESS WHAT, I WILL
NEVER FORGET.
HOW DO I KNOW ABOUT THE SONGS
AND ALL?
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TELLING THEM
EVER SINCE THE NIGHT IT
HAPPENED.
HERE WHAT IS I'LL CLOSS WITH
UNLESS YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO ADD TO IT.
HERE IS WHAT I SAY.
I SAY THE NIGHT I MET JESUS WAS
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DECISION
I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE.
HOW UNDER HEAVEN COULD I MAKE
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DECISION I
EVER MADE IN MY LIFE AND NEVER
TELL MY FRIEND.
HOW.
>> IT'S DO GOOD.
>> PEOPLE KNOW WHERE I WORK,
KNOW WHAT I DO, KNOW WHAT I
LOVE, PROBABLY A LOT ABOUT WHAT
I DON'T LIKE, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO
KNOW ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS.
>> WE ALWAYS SAY CONVINCE
PEOPLE, CONVINCE PEOPLE.
I'M TELLING YOU I SEE IT EVEN
THOUGH WE'RE NOT FUSSILY IN THE
SAME ROOM, YOU'RE IN GEORGIA,
I'M HERE IN VIRGINIA.
I JUST SENSE THIS IS REAL FOR
YOU.
THIS IS AGAIN SOMETHING THAT IS
VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU.
AND SO BECAUSE GOD REALLY
IMPACTED YOUR LIFE, BECAUSE
SOMEONEN VARIETY YOU, YOU'RE
INVITING OTHERS.
YOU'RE GOING DOWNSTREAM.
CAN I ASK YOU A FAVOR?
I GOT TO BELIEVE SOME OF OUR
STUDENTS WATCHING CONVO THIS
MORNING HEARING THIS AND THEY'RE
THINKING ABOUT THEIR MOM, THEIR
BEST FRIEND, THINKING ABOUT HERE
IN A LITTLE WHILE THEY'RE GOING
TO GO BACK HOME, MAYBE SOME OF
OUR STUDENTS EVEN NOW ARE
WATCHING ONLINE AND THEY'VE BEEN
QUARANTINE AND THEY ARE NOW
STUCK BAM MEMBER AND THEY'RE
REALIZING GOD HAS GIVEN THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY LUKE THEY NEVER HAD
BEFORE.
THE SOMEONE IS LISTENING RIGHT
NOW AND THEY JUST LACK THE
COURAGE, THEY'RE WATCHING YOU
AND HE'S LIKE HE'S A
PROFESSIONAL WITNESSING THE
SHAME, I'M GOING TO BE
TERRIFIED, WHAT IF I'M REJECTED,
WHAT IF THIS MAKES THE
RELATIONSHIP EVEN WORSE.
I'LL BEEN INCONSISTENCY, THEY'LL
BRING THAT UP BECAUSE I BLEW A
GASKET THE OTHER DAY.
WOULD YOU PRAY FOR SOMEONE RIGHT
NOW WHO IS SENSING YOU THAT THEY
NEED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL, THEY
NEED TO BEGIN TAKING STEPS
TOWARD THAT CONVERSATION, WILL
YOU PRAY FOR THEM RIGHT NOW?
>>  I'D LOVE TO.
MY FATHER IN THE GAME OF JESUS
I'D JOIN WITH DAVID IN LIFTING
THAT STUDENT TO YOU THAT REALLY
HAS SOMETHING ON THEIR HEART
THAT I OFTEN PRAY FOR.
LORD, LAY SOME SOUL UPON MY
HEART AND LOVE THAT SOUL THROUGH
ME EVEN THOUGH I'M IMPER, THE
ONE I WILL TALK ABOUT HAS NEVER
FAILED.
GIVE THEM A BURDEN FOR THEIR
LOVED ONES.
EVEN IF IT WAS LIKE THEIR HOUSE
WAS ON FIRE AND THEY'VE BEEN
NEVER TO FIRE SCHOOL TRAINING,
BUT THEY COULD USE A HOSE.
OF SIMPLY GIVING THE STORY, IN
BELIEVING THAT GOD WILL USE THE
POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD TO
SPEECH INTO THEIR LIFE.
I PRAY FOR YOU YOU CONTINUE WHAT
WE'RE STARTING, THANK YOU FOR
GIVING DAVID A PASSION TO SEE
THOSE YOUNG CHAMPIONS FOR CHRIST
ON FIRE FOR THE LORD.
AND THANK YOU TO THE FOUNDER OF
THE SCHOOL, JERRY FALL WELL, SR.
KNOCKED ON EVERY DOOR IN
LYNCHBURG IN HIS EARLY DAYS.
MAY THAT LEGACY LIVE ON AND MAY
THAT PASSION BE ORGANIZATION FOR
THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW YOU.
I PRAY WHEN THE WEEKEND IS OVER
THAT MANY WILL SAY THAT GOD USED
THIS IN MY LIFE AND GIVE THIS
NAME TO THE PERSON IN HEAVEN.
WE LOVE YOU AND WE BELIEVE IT
FOR YOU IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
>> I LOVE YOU, PASTOR.

IT.
