00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:05 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:15 Welcome back. 00:16 You know, what I want to say 00:17 that this has been an incredible, 00:19 I mean 100 episodes. 00:20 I wanted to bring a lot of people out there 00:23 really make this program possible 00:25 because it takes the team and this team is amazing. 00:28 And C.A., you and I work together 00:30 every single time at the beginning of the program. 00:33 But you also keep things going when there is a crises 00:36 or when somebody needs to compliant about something. 00:39 Yeah I actually do very, very little 00:41 and you don't have many crises, that yourself cannot solve. 00:45 So I just kind of make sure it doesn't fall part. 00:47 I just have to you know-- when you and I dreamed about 00:51 when this whole things started 00:52 is that people would choose recovery, 00:54 get in recovery, be blessed 00:56 and all of that has happened, it's exciting. 00:59 We've talked about it and we're seeing lives change 01:01 and this is, we use a term popular 01:04 but it is one of the most popular shows 01:06 because it touches so many lives, 01:07 it changes so many lives and impact so many people. 01:10 I love that, I hope we just have another 100 episodes. 01:13 I have to just say, Jim Gilley, I love you Mollie. 01:18 You know, even can you remember the time 01:20 that we just kind of started this 01:21 and had it just in our heads and putting it together. 01:24 Well I do remember the first time 01:26 I met you that was little over 15 years-ago 01:28 and I thought my goodness what we have here. 01:32 That's what I thought. Yeah. 01:33 We're still asking that question actually. 01:35 And the truth is, I have seen you grow and mature 01:38 and just evolve into an incredible woman of God 01:42 that is able to use what God has given you to reach so many. 01:45 And we are so blessed to have you 01:47 as part of this ministry here at 3ABN. 01:49 Thank you, Mollie. 01:51 And, you know, I have to say to you is that 01:53 when I walked into 3ABN my knees were shaking, 01:57 I had no idea, you know, who-- 01:59 how God is gonna do any of this. 02:00 I just had a passion. 02:02 It was so unfocused and you guys have loved me 02:05 every step of the way. 02:07 And Jim, that hasn't stopped at all over the year. 02:10 Well, you know, Cheri, everywhere we go, 02:13 we find people who watch this program 02:17 and whose lives have been changed by this program. 02:20 You know, it's amazing how many people have struggles. 02:23 They don't always, they don't always show that all of, 02:25 they don't all end up on skid row. 02:27 But there're people that have addiction problems 02:30 and they may be members of the church. 02:32 I've had people who told me 02:34 I was in the church for years but I'm an alcoholic 02:37 and I've been an alcoholic all those years. 02:39 But by watching "Celebrating in Recovery" 02:42 I began to realize there could be hope, 02:45 there could be a release, there could be victory. 02:48 God is bigger. 02:50 Yes and so they it help them to seek the help 02:53 that they really needed because sometimes 02:55 they really needed professional help. 02:58 I just have to say, what I thought was so hysterical 03:01 when I first came in and said you know what? 03:04 We got to do this and so somebody's like 03:07 what we'll talk about? 03:08 We'll talk about sex and drugs 03:10 and everybody's looking at me like what, we're gonna what? 03:14 And the reaction was pretty like I don't know 03:18 and it was amazing to me like you said, 03:21 that how many people really came out 03:23 from pastors to people sitting in the pews to somebody 03:27 that has been sitting there suffering for 30 years 03:30 that needed someone to say God is bigger. Right. 03:32 And He delights in us. 03:33 And somehow they think 03:35 the problem is originated with them. 03:36 Nobody else ever had a problem with any of these struggles. 03:40 So when they find out others do, it does help. 03:45 That's incredible. 03:46 I just want to say that I'm proud to be here, I'm so, 03:51 you know, the staff and the crew 03:54 and everybody that kind of puts us together. 03:56 There is like 20 to 40 people at any given time 04:01 that really kind of are behind the seats 04:03 and they hate to be up here, 04:04 like I would point out some camera people 04:06 and our producer back there, wave, Brad. 04:09 He hates that, he's really behind the scenes 04:11 but they make this happen. 04:13 And I want you to know that we will put this on 04:15 as long as you're watching and I just want you to know, 04:19 to always remember that God is crazy about you, we are too. 04:23 God bless. |
