The following program
discusses sensitive issues
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.36
related to addictive behavior.
00:00:03.39\00:00:05.09
Parents are
cautioned that some material
00:00:05.12\00:00:06.91
may be too candid
for younger children.
00:00:06.94\00:00:09.06
Welcome back.
00:00:15.12\00:00:16.49
You know, what I want to say
00:00:16.52\00:00:17.89
that this has
been an incredible,
00:00:17.92\00:00:19.29
I mean 100 episodes.
00:00:19.32\00:00:20.76
I wanted to bring a
lot of people out there
00:00:20.79\00:00:23.09
really make
this program possible
00:00:23.12\00:00:25.51
because it takes the
team and this team is amazing.
00:00:25.54\00:00:28.77
And C.A., you
and I work together
00:00:28.80\00:00:30.47
every single time at the
beginning of the program.
00:00:30.50\00:00:33.00
But you also keep things
going when there is a crises
00:00:33.03\00:00:36.76
or when somebody needs to
compliant about something.
00:00:36.79\00:00:39.00
Yeah I actually
do very, very little
00:00:39.03\00:00:40.98
and you don't have many crises,
that yourself cannot solve.
00:00:41.01\00:00:45.34
So I just kind of make
sure it doesn't fall part.
00:00:45.37\00:00:47.95
I just have to you know--
when you and I dreamed about
00:00:47.98\00:00:51.53
when this whole things started
00:00:51.56\00:00:52.93
is that people
would choose recovery,
00:00:52.96\00:00:54.73
get in recovery, be blessed
00:00:54.76\00:00:56.79
and all of that has
happened, it's exciting.
00:00:56.82\00:00:59.23
We've talked about it
and we're seeing lives change
00:00:59.26\00:01:01.80
and this is, we
use a term popular
00:01:01.83\00:01:04.53
but it is one of
the most popular shows
00:01:04.56\00:01:06.07
because it
touches so many lives,
00:01:06.10\00:01:07.85
it changes so many lives
and impact so many people.
00:01:07.88\00:01:10.31
I love that, I hope we
just have another 100 episodes.
00:01:10.34\00:01:13.67
I have to just say, Jim
Gilley, I love you Mollie.
00:01:13.70\00:01:18.23
You know, even can
you remember the time
00:01:18.26\00:01:20.42
that we just
kind of started this
00:01:20.45\00:01:21.91
and had it just in our
heads and putting it together.
00:01:21.94\00:01:24.65
Well I do
remember the first time
00:01:24.68\00:01:26.05
I met you that was
little over 15 years-ago
00:01:26.08\00:01:28.30
and I thought my
goodness what we have here.
00:01:28.33\00:01:32.35
That's what I thought. Yeah.
00:01:32.38\00:01:33.75
We're still asking
that question actually.
00:01:33.78\00:01:35.17
And the truth is, I
have seen you grow and mature
00:01:35.20\00:01:38.67
and just evolve into
an incredible woman of God
00:01:38.70\00:01:42.24
that is able to use what God
has given you to reach so many.
00:01:42.27\00:01:45.35
And we are so
blessed to have you
00:01:45.38\00:01:47.47
as part of this
ministry here at 3ABN.
00:01:47.50\00:01:49.60
Thank you, Mollie.
00:01:49.63\00:01:51.00
And, you know, I
have to say to you is that
00:01:51.03\00:01:53.65
when I walked into
3ABN my knees were shaking,
00:01:53.68\00:01:57.20
I had no idea, you know, who--
00:01:57.23\00:01:59.17
how God is gonna do any of this.
00:01:59.20\00:02:00.89
I just had a passion.
00:02:00.92\00:02:02.29
It was so unfocused
and you guys have loved me
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.54
every step of the way.
00:02:05.57\00:02:07.01
And Jim, that hasn't
stopped at all over the year.
00:02:07.04\00:02:10.63
Well, you know,
Cheri, everywhere we go,
00:02:10.66\00:02:13.74
we find people
who watch this program
00:02:13.77\00:02:17.06
and whose lives have
been changed by this program.
00:02:17.09\00:02:20.43
You know, it's amazing how
many people have struggles.
00:02:20.46\00:02:23.51
They don't always, they
don't always show that all of,
00:02:23.54\00:02:25.50
they don't all
end up on skid row.
00:02:25.53\00:02:27.52
But there're people
that have addiction problems
00:02:27.55\00:02:30.37
and they may be
members of the church.
00:02:30.40\00:02:32.87
I've had people who told me
00:02:32.90\00:02:34.27
I was in the church for
years but I'm an alcoholic
00:02:34.30\00:02:37.07
and I've been an
alcoholic all those years.
00:02:37.10\00:02:39.82
But by watching
"Celebrating in Recovery"
00:02:39.85\00:02:42.34
I began to realize
there could be hope,
00:02:42.37\00:02:45.69
there could be a
release, there could be victory.
00:02:45.72\00:02:48.67
God is bigger.
00:02:48.70\00:02:50.07
Yes and so they it
help them to seek the help
00:02:50.10\00:02:53.84
that they really
needed because sometimes
00:02:53.87\00:02:55.56
they really
needed professional help.
00:02:55.59\00:02:58.27
I just have to say, what
I thought was so hysterical
00:02:58.30\00:03:01.67
when I first came in
and said you know what?
00:03:01.70\00:03:04.52
We got to do this
and so somebody's like
00:03:04.55\00:03:07.37
what we'll talk about?
00:03:07.40\00:03:08.77
We'll talk about sex and drugs
00:03:08.80\00:03:10.28
and everybody's looking at
me like what, we're gonna what?
00:03:10.31\00:03:14.45
And the reaction was
pretty like I don't know
00:03:14.48\00:03:18.30
and it was amazing
to me like you said,
00:03:18.33\00:03:21.32
that how many
people really came out
00:03:21.35\00:03:23.26
from pastors to people
sitting in the pews to somebody
00:03:23.29\00:03:27.09
that has been sitting
there suffering for 30 years
00:03:27.12\00:03:30.25
that needed someone to
say God is bigger. Right.
00:03:30.28\00:03:32.54
And He delights in us.
00:03:32.57\00:03:33.94
And somehow they think
00:03:33.97\00:03:35.34
the problem is
originated with them.
00:03:35.37\00:03:36.78
Nobody else ever had a problem
with any of these struggles.
00:03:36.81\00:03:40.31
So when they find out
others do, it does help.
00:03:40.34\00:03:45.31
That's incredible.
00:03:45.34\00:03:46.71
I just want to say that
I'm proud to be here, I'm so,
00:03:46.74\00:03:51.59
you know, the staff and the crew
00:03:51.62\00:03:54.37
and everybody that
kind of puts us together.
00:03:54.40\00:03:56.33
There is like 20 to 40
people at any given time
00:03:56.36\00:04:01.42
that really kind of
are behind the seats
00:04:01.45\00:04:03.28
and they hate to be up here,
00:04:03.31\00:04:04.78
like I would point
out some camera people
00:04:04.81\00:04:06.63
and our producer
back there, wave, Brad.
00:04:06.66\00:04:08.97
He hates that, he's
really behind the scenes
00:04:09.00\00:04:11.67
but they make this happen.
00:04:11.70\00:04:13.15
And I want you to know
that we will put this on
00:04:13.18\00:04:15.82
as long as you're watching
and I just want you to know,
00:04:15.85\00:04:19.16
to always remember that God
is crazy about you, we are too.
00:04:19.19\00:04:23.21
God bless.
00:04:23.24\00:04:24.99
