for joining us on
00:00:01.90\00:00:03.03
It Is Written Canada.
00:00:03.03\00:00:04.90
Did you know that there is
00:00:04.90\00:00:06.23
such a thing as invisible
00:00:06.23\00:00:08.07
light, light beyond our visual
00:00:08.07\00:00:10.54
spectrum such as ultraviolet
00:00:10.54\00:00:13.14
and infrared light?
00:00:13.14\00:00:15.18
>> There is also such a thing
00:00:15.18\00:00:16.78
as "silent sound," sound
00:00:16.78\00:00:19.05
beyond our ability to hear.
00:00:19.05\00:00:21.48
>> There is also scentless
00:00:21.48\00:00:23.62
smells, scents beyond our
00:00:23.62\00:00:25.89
ability to smell.
00:00:25.89\00:00:27.32
>> Dogs, for example, can hear
00:00:27.32\00:00:29.06
sounds that are silent to us
00:00:29.06\00:00:31.43
and they have a sense of smell
00:00:31.43\00:00:33.53
10,000 to a hundred times as
00:00:33.53\00:00:36.23
sensitive as ours.
00:00:36.23\00:00:38.13
>> Dogs can sense up to one
00:00:38.13\00:00:39.80
part per trillion.
00:00:39.80\00:00:41.17
This means that because humans
00:00:41.17\00:00:43.14
can tell if there is a
00:00:43.14\00:00:45.04
teaspoon of sugar in a cup of
00:00:45.04\00:00:47.18
herbal tea, a dog can sense
00:00:47.18\00:00:49.51
that same teaspoon of sugar in
00:00:49.51\00:00:51.51
a million gallons of water,
00:00:51.51\00:00:53.85
the amount of water in two
00:00:53.85\00:00:56.52
Olympic-sized swimming pools.
00:00:56.52\00:00:59.19
[RENÉ] The truth is that we
00:00:59.19\00:01:00.52
are surrounded by invisible
00:01:00.52\00:01:02.36
forces such as microwaves,
00:01:02.36\00:01:04.96
radio waves...
00:01:04.96\00:01:06.70
[MIKE] And WiFi, magnetism,
00:01:06.70\00:01:09.10
gravity...
00:01:09.10\00:01:10.47
[RENÉ] Radiation, even
00:01:10.47\00:01:12.00
electricity.
00:01:12.00\00:01:13.37
[MIKE] And nuclear forces or
00:01:13.37\00:01:15.44
the forces that hold the
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.34
nuclei of molecules together.
00:01:17.34\00:01:19.84
>> The Bible encourages us to
00:01:19.84\00:01:22.11
walk by faith and not by sight
00:01:22.11\00:01:24.48
because we look not at the
00:01:24.48\00:01:26.85
things which are seen, but at
00:01:26.85\00:01:29.12
the things which are not seen.
00:01:29.12\00:01:31.79
>> All these invisible forces
00:01:31.79\00:01:34.09
can serve as object lessons
00:01:34.09\00:01:36.79
that can open our eyes to
00:01:36.79\00:01:38.96
spiritual realities for it is
00:01:38.96\00:01:41.36
by seeing Him who is invisible
00:01:41.36\00:01:43.73
that spiritual strength and
00:01:43.73\00:01:45.97
energy are gained and the
00:01:45.97\00:01:48.54
conflicting power of dark
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.51
forces over mind and character
00:01:50.51\00:01:52.21
is broken.
00:01:52.21\00:01:54.11
>> Today on It Is Written
00:01:54.11\00:01:55.41
Canada, you will meet Clay and
00:01:55.41\00:01:57.21
Sarah Weppler and hear how
00:01:57.21\00:01:59.78
they had their eyes opened to
00:01:59.78\00:02:01.78
see God's hand working in
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.05
their lives.
00:02:04.05\00:02:05.69

00:02:07.29\00:02:44.56
>> Welcome back to
00:02:55.87\00:02:57.07

00:02:58.24\00:02:59.81
Our special guests today are
00:02:59.81\00:03:01.61
Clay and Sarah Weppler whose
00:03:01.61\00:03:03.35
lives are daily being
00:03:03.35\00:03:05.68
sanctified by the power of
00:03:05.68\00:03:07.68
God's hand and His Spirit
00:03:07.68\00:03:10.02
working within them.
00:03:10.02\00:03:12.05
>> Clay and Sarah, welcome to
00:03:12.05\00:03:13.62
It Is Written Canada.
00:03:13.62\00:03:14.92
>> Thank you for having us.
00:03:14.92\00:03:16.19
>> Thank you.
00:03:16.19\00:03:17.49
>> So, Sarah, I'm gonna begin
00:03:17.49\00:03:18.93
with you, can you tell us
00:03:18.93\00:03:20.06
where your spiritual
00:03:20.06\00:03:21.43
walk began?
00:03:21.43\00:03:22.80
>> My spiritual walk, I've
00:03:23.90\00:03:25.50
been a Christian ever since I
00:03:25.50\00:03:27.24
was a toddler, I come from an
00:03:27.24\00:03:29.17
amazing Christian family.
00:03:29.17\00:03:31.27
Back to my grandpa, he was a
00:03:31.27\00:03:32.71
missionary in Africa for
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.11
years, lived in a little mud
00:03:34.11\00:03:35.48
hut and did all that.
00:03:35.48\00:03:37.68
My mother, she was a huge
00:03:37.68\00:03:39.85
factor in my life.
00:03:39.85\00:03:41.35
She very much instilled God
00:03:41.35\00:03:43.49
and just teaching us about Him
00:03:43.49\00:03:46.15
and His love.
00:03:46.15\00:03:47.89
>> So God was a big part of
00:03:47.89\00:03:50.19
your identity.
00:03:50.19\00:03:51.63
>> He was everything, yeah.
00:03:51.63\00:03:54.03
>> That's really beautiful.
00:03:54.03\00:03:55.73
And we were talking about this
00:03:55.73\00:03:57.10
yesterday, Clay, and you were
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.47
saying how you have come to
00:03:58.47\00:04:00.14
realized that Jesus has to be
00:04:00.14\00:04:01.87
a big part of your identity,
00:04:01.87\00:04:03.67
but when you were younger,
00:04:03.67\00:04:05.07
hockey was a big part of
00:04:05.07\00:04:06.78
your identity.
00:04:06.78\00:04:08.54
>> You know, just growing up,
00:04:08.54\00:04:10.18
you know, when I was three
00:04:10.18\00:04:11.61
years old, Dad had my out on
00:04:11.61\00:04:13.78
the rink and I was, you know,
00:04:13.78\00:04:16.72
learned to skate and...
00:04:16.72\00:04:18.25
And you know, it's not
00:04:18.25\00:04:19.79
necessarily, you know, that
00:04:19.79\00:04:22.29
you choose that identity, but
00:04:22.29\00:04:24.09
it just kinda becomes who you
00:04:24.09\00:04:25.36
are, right.
00:04:25.36\00:04:26.26
And that was the thing, too,
00:04:26.26\00:04:27.50
you know, when I got one of my
00:04:27.50\00:04:29.06
bad injuries and all of a
00:04:29.06\00:04:30.60
sudden I'm, you know, just out
00:04:30.60\00:04:33.07
of commission, I mean you
00:04:33.07\00:04:34.24
realize how fickle that whole
00:04:34.24\00:04:36.91
identity is, right, so...
00:04:36.91\00:04:38.51
[MIKE] Yeah, right, right.
00:04:38.51\00:04:39.71
So you're fit one moment,
00:04:39.71\00:04:41.08
you're not the next, you're
00:04:41.08\00:04:42.21
cut and you just gotta get
00:04:42.21\00:04:43.51
back into the game and get
00:04:43.51\00:04:44.85
yourself fit again.
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.11
[CLAY] Yeah, that's right.
00:04:46.11\00:04:47.25
>> So it's an up-and-down--
00:04:47.25\00:04:48.25
that's a lot of pressure.
00:04:48.25\00:04:49.15
[CLAY] It is, yep.
00:04:49.15\00:04:50.62
[RENÉ] And, Sarah, you're a
00:04:50.62\00:04:52.09
figure skater so Clay's an ice
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.29
hockey player, you're a figure
00:04:54.29\00:04:55.82
skater, real Canadians here,
00:04:55.82\00:04:57.76
so...
00:04:57.76\00:04:58.56
[SARAH] (laughs) Yes, we are.
00:04:58.56\00:05:00.33
>> So, Sarah, can you tell us
00:05:00.33\00:05:01.83
how you found your identity in
00:05:01.83\00:05:03.43
figure skating?
00:05:03.43\00:05:05.47
>> My, uh...mine is different
00:05:05.47\00:05:09.47
than Clay's, just because he
00:05:09.47\00:05:11.87
came from, you know, a
00:05:11.87\00:05:13.14
non-Christian background, I
00:05:13.14\00:05:14.21
came from the Christian
00:05:14.21\00:05:15.44
background and it really does
00:05:15.44\00:05:16.91
change the way you look at
00:05:16.91\00:05:19.25
life when you're a Christian.
00:05:19.25\00:05:21.02
Skating was a huge part of
00:05:22.05\00:05:23.35
our life, but...
00:05:23.35\00:05:25.09
...when your identity is
00:05:26.69\00:05:27.96
in Christ and you know that
00:05:27.96\00:05:29.76
you're a princess of The King,
00:05:29.76\00:05:31.89
skating is just a thing that
00:05:31.89\00:05:33.06
you do, you know.
00:05:33.06\00:05:34.56
So even though--
00:05:35.60\00:05:37.10
being a Christian
00:05:37.10\00:05:38.40
in a non-Christian world...
00:05:38.40\00:05:39.73
...you are different, but...
00:05:42.30\00:05:44.37
when you're a Christian you've
00:05:45.37\00:05:46.64
got this joy and this peace
00:05:46.64\00:05:49.01
and you just don't care,
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.71
right.
00:05:50.71\00:05:51.88
>> So, Clay, what was it that
00:05:51.88\00:05:54.12
started to open your eyes?
00:05:54.12\00:05:55.65
I mean, you're playing hockey,
00:05:55.65\00:05:57.42
were there times God showed up
00:05:57.42\00:05:59.52
for you?
00:05:59.52\00:06:00.96
>> I ended up going to
00:06:00.96\00:06:02.49
Caronport High School because
00:06:02.49\00:06:04.39
it was just the way the whole
00:06:04.39\00:06:06.19
politics worked and stuff.
00:06:06.19\00:06:07.93
And so I was there to play
00:06:07.93\00:06:10.20
hockey and I remember learning
00:06:10.20\00:06:12.00
about this whole Christian
00:06:12.00\00:06:13.64
ethnics and, you know,
00:06:13.64\00:06:16.94
studying about--
00:06:16.94\00:06:18.14
And like, really, I had some
00:06:18.14\00:06:19.81
knowledge about "there is a"
00:06:19.81\00:06:21.64
"God" and stuff, but not a
00:06:21.64\00:06:23.18
whole lot, right, and just
00:06:23.18\00:06:25.31
kinda seeing in the Bible
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.32
that, you know, there was kind
00:06:27.32\00:06:28.75
of, you know, some corrections
00:06:28.75\00:06:32.09
and some things that I needed
00:06:32.09\00:06:33.56
to deal with in my own
00:06:33.56\00:06:36.16
personal life and stuff and,
00:06:36.16\00:06:39.13
you know, I remember just
00:06:39.13\00:06:41.03
like, one morning I just went
00:06:41.03\00:06:42.86
to the chapel and just being
00:06:42.86\00:06:45.50
frustrated, I was like,
00:06:45.50\00:06:46.80
"Lord, like, I don't"
00:06:46.80\00:06:48.27
"understand any of this stuff."
00:06:48.27\00:06:49.97
You know, just being
00:06:49.97\00:06:51.91
completely frank with Him, you
00:06:51.91\00:06:53.34
know, just like, "I don't"
00:06:53.34\00:06:54.81
"really even fully know who"
00:06:54.81\00:06:56.44
"You are, I don't know what"
00:06:56.44\00:06:57.65
"this is, but, like, I know"
00:06:57.65\00:06:59.35
"that I have these kind of"
00:06:59.35\00:07:00.75
"issues and this and that,"
00:07:00.75\00:07:01.75
and I said, you know,
00:07:01.75\00:07:03.02
"Please, Lord," like,
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.85
"I just, I'm crying out to You"
00:07:04.85\00:07:08.29
"to show Yourself to me and"
00:07:08.29\00:07:10.03
"just help me through this."
00:07:10.03\00:07:11.99
I remember when I walked to
00:07:11.99\00:07:13.29
the chapel there was this guy
00:07:13.29\00:07:15.33
standing there and he's
00:07:15.33\00:07:16.43
telling me, he's like, "Man,"
00:07:16.43\00:07:17.73
"could I read you this thing"
00:07:17.73\00:07:18.93
"in the Bible?"
00:07:18.93\00:07:19.87
And I wasn't talking out loud,
00:07:19.87\00:07:21.40
I was by myself in the chapel
00:07:21.40\00:07:23.24
and I said, "Uh, OK, yeah, I"
00:07:23.24\00:07:25.67
"guess so, whatever," not
00:07:25.67\00:07:27.01
thinking that it was anything
00:07:27.01\00:07:28.51
and so then he follows me and
00:07:28.51\00:07:30.21
he's like, "Man, please let"
00:07:30.21\00:07:32.21
"me read this to you," and I'm
00:07:32.21\00:07:33.75
like, "What is this weirdo?"
00:07:33.75\00:07:35.28
you know, I just wanna say,
00:07:35.28\00:07:36.92
you know, and so I'm like,
00:07:36.92\00:07:38.62
"Yeah, OK, I guess you can."
00:07:38.62\00:07:40.26
And so we go up that night or
00:07:40.26\00:07:42.89
whatever and he reads me and
00:07:42.89\00:07:44.99
literally everything that I
00:07:44.99\00:07:46.70
was praying, God answered 'em,
00:07:46.70\00:07:49.20
point by point.
00:07:49.20\00:07:50.83
>> How did things start really
00:07:52.10\00:07:54.24
getting serious for you?
00:07:54.24\00:07:56.17
Like, were there times where
00:07:56.17\00:07:58.71
God showed up even when you
00:07:58.71\00:08:00.24
were playing hockey?
00:08:00.24\00:08:01.78
>> After I was done with
00:08:01.78\00:08:03.11
Caronport, I went to play AAA
00:08:03.11\00:08:05.11
and, I don't know, I just
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.88
kinda got back into the world
00:08:06.88\00:08:08.18
and stuff, right, and just
00:08:08.18\00:08:09.85
totally forgot about all
00:08:09.85\00:08:11.25
this-- these cool things that
00:08:11.25\00:08:12.69
God had done to me, I think
00:08:12.69\00:08:14.22
it's so easy for anyone to do.
00:08:14.22\00:08:15.56
And I remember just like
00:08:15.56\00:08:16.93
blowing my knee out, like,
00:08:16.93\00:08:18.43
terribly, right, and where
00:08:18.43\00:08:20.70
did I go?
00:08:20.70\00:08:21.73
Right back to Caronport,
00:08:21.73\00:08:23.26
right, and so I kind of like,
00:08:23.26\00:08:25.63
"Yeah, OK, I got this," you
00:08:25.63\00:08:27.20
know, it's an ongoing thing,
00:08:27.20\00:08:29.94
it's a dying to self every
00:08:29.94\00:08:31.87
day, it's growing in Christ
00:08:31.87\00:08:35.68
and studying His word and
00:08:35.68\00:08:38.78
understanding Him and...
00:08:38.78\00:08:41.52
You know, that just kinda kept
00:08:43.15\00:08:44.32
developing 'til finally I
00:08:44.32\00:08:45.65
started kinda studying the
00:08:45.65\00:08:46.96
Bible on my own.
00:08:46.96\00:08:49.16
[MIKE] So you were climbing in
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.96
the ranks of hockey, you got
00:08:51.96\00:08:53.96
to Junior A and you're in Fort
00:08:53.96\00:08:56.40
McMurray and you're playing
00:08:56.40\00:08:57.70
hockey, but you're also
00:08:57.70\00:08:59.13
studying the Bible on your
00:08:59.13\00:09:00.57
own, learning all these cool
00:09:00.57\00:09:02.17
things and it's just getting
00:09:02.17\00:09:03.91
brighter and brighter.
00:09:03.91\00:09:05.77
>> Here I was, I was always in
00:09:05.77\00:09:07.34
a position where it was like,
00:09:07.34\00:09:08.61
K, like, when I seen my buddy
00:09:08.61\00:09:10.25
scored a couple goals and
00:09:10.25\00:09:12.31
whatever, he moved up to the
00:09:12.31\00:09:13.72
first line or whatever, I'd be
00:09:13.72\00:09:14.95
like, "Oh, man," like, "That
00:09:14.95\00:09:16.35
sucks," you know, "I wish"
00:09:16.35\00:09:17.69
"that was me," right.
00:09:17.69\00:09:18.95
But I was able to put myself
00:09:18.95\00:09:20.32
in that position now where I
00:09:20.32\00:09:21.79
was like, "K, like, I'm part"
00:09:21.79\00:09:23.69
"of something that's bigger"
00:09:23.69\00:09:24.86
"than all this."
00:09:24.86\00:09:25.93
And through my whole hockey
00:09:25.93\00:09:27.13
career I was actually seen
00:09:27.13\00:09:28.43
God's divine hand, like, just
00:09:28.43\00:09:29.80
wherever I was placed
00:09:29.80\00:09:31.33
with hockey.
00:09:31.33\00:09:32.67
It didn't really seem like it
00:09:32.67\00:09:34.07
had to do with the hockey, but
00:09:34.07\00:09:35.27
more what the people that I
00:09:35.27\00:09:37.97
had to meet and the things
00:09:37.97\00:09:39.54
that were going on that needed
00:09:39.54\00:09:41.74
to form my character,
00:09:41.74\00:09:43.14
you know.
00:09:43.14\00:09:44.71
And I think that, you know,
00:09:44.71\00:09:47.05
yeah, having that
00:09:47.05\00:09:49.02
understanding of my identity
00:09:49.02\00:09:50.85
in Him that, man, like, even
00:09:50.85\00:09:52.22
if hockey ends, there's so
00:09:52.22\00:09:53.99
much more things that God has
00:09:53.99\00:09:55.92
out there.
00:09:55.92\00:09:57.49
Like, we're talking about, you
00:09:57.49\00:09:58.99
know, it says that the heavens
00:09:58.99\00:10:02.13
are His dwelling place and the
00:10:02.13\00:10:03.40
earth is His footstool, you
00:10:03.40\00:10:04.93
know, and we're talking like
00:10:04.93\00:10:06.07
this whole earth is like,
00:10:06.07\00:10:07.44
every little thing that could
00:10:07.44\00:10:08.67
be invented in this earth is
00:10:08.67\00:10:09.94
small to God, right, and
00:10:09.94\00:10:12.01
that's the God that I got to
00:10:12.01\00:10:13.44
know, you know.
00:10:13.44\00:10:14.68
So, you know, hockey was just
00:10:14.68\00:10:16.54
a part of me then, it wasn't
00:10:16.54\00:10:18.38
who I was, but it was just a
00:10:18.38\00:10:20.42
part of what I did, you know.
00:10:20.42\00:10:23.12
[MIKE] And then you came to
00:10:23.12\00:10:24.25
a place where you're just
00:10:24.25\00:10:25.39
like, "I'm prepared to give"
00:10:25.39\00:10:26.52
"this up," and you went on a
00:10:26.52\00:10:28.42
mission trip.
00:10:28.42\00:10:29.99
>> I kinda came into conflict
00:10:29.99\00:10:31.73
with hockey and certain parts
00:10:31.73\00:10:33.43
of faith and so I decided to...
00:10:33.43\00:10:37.50
...to pursue God instead and so
00:10:39.70\00:10:44.21
it was just His leading and I
00:10:44.21\00:10:46.31
think that, you know, I think
00:10:46.31\00:10:50.28
the Lord knew what I needed.
00:10:50.28\00:10:53.18
When I went down there, yeah,
00:10:53.18\00:10:55.05
it was unique because they
00:10:55.05\00:10:56.89
didn't care whether you were a
00:10:56.89\00:10:58.09
hockey player or not, right,
00:10:58.09\00:10:59.39
so you had to kinda learn to
00:10:59.39\00:11:03.49
be humble, right, and that's,
00:11:03.49\00:11:08.10
you know, that's the next
00:11:08.10\00:11:09.36
steps, I think, of the
00:11:09.36\00:11:11.10
Christian character is
00:11:11.10\00:11:12.90
considering others and not
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.97
exalting self, but, you know,
00:11:14.97\00:11:18.67
being happy in who you are
00:11:18.67\00:11:20.34
and...
00:11:20.34\00:11:21.84
And, yeah, just
00:11:21.84\00:11:23.91
exalting Christ.
00:11:23.91\00:11:26.28
>> So, Sarah, can you tell us
00:11:26.28\00:11:27.98
how you and Clay met?
00:11:27.98\00:11:29.32
[SARAH] Yeah!
00:11:29.32\00:11:30.95
It was our early twenties and
00:11:30.95\00:11:34.56
that actually was a God thing
00:11:34.56\00:11:35.76
in itself, too, because Clay
00:11:35.76\00:11:37.49
lives in Saskatchewan, I'm in
00:11:37.49\00:11:39.36
Ontario and I just happened to
00:11:39.36\00:11:40.80
be flying out at the time that
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.60
he was fixing my sister's
00:11:42.60\00:11:44.00
house up and it was good
00:11:44.00\00:11:45.87
timing, too, because we
00:11:45.87\00:11:47.37
realized if we met any sooner,
00:11:47.37\00:11:49.54
we probably wouldn't have even
00:11:49.54\00:11:51.07
started dating, really, so...
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.91
So yeah, that's was us when I
00:11:53.91\00:11:55.44
was-- I was a city girl from
00:11:55.44\00:11:57.18
Toronto so he took me gopher
00:11:57.18\00:11:58.91
hunting, it was very exciting.
00:11:58.91\00:12:01.55
(laughs)
00:12:01.55\00:12:04.09
>> So you're looking into the
00:12:04.09\00:12:05.15
Bible, were there scriptures
00:12:05.15\00:12:07.19
that really spoke to you?
00:12:07.19\00:12:09.26
>> I mean, I have hundreds, but
00:12:10.69\00:12:12.96
one that I've always loved,
00:12:12.96\00:12:15.20
it's short, but I feel like
00:12:15.20\00:12:16.60
it's so powerful is
00:12:16.60\00:12:17.73
1 Peter 5:7...
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.00
You know, it's-- so whether it
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.87
comes to identity or stress of
00:12:24.87\00:12:26.78
life or anything, right, it's
00:12:26.78\00:12:28.11
just...
00:12:28.11\00:12:29.18
He cares for you, right.
00:12:30.88\00:12:33.11
Another one that I really,
00:12:33.11\00:12:34.48
really like is Isaiah 43:2.
00:12:34.48\00:12:35.95
It says...
00:12:35.95\00:12:37.05
And sometimes you maybe, it
00:12:48.40\00:12:49.93
doesn't feel it in the moment,
00:12:49.93\00:12:52.43
but you get led through it and
00:12:52.43\00:12:53.97
once you reach the other side
00:12:53.97\00:12:55.47
you look back and you realize
00:12:55.47\00:12:56.57
how much He was present,
00:12:56.57\00:12:57.47
right.
00:12:57.47\00:12:58.21
>> Yeah.
00:12:58.21\00:12:59.27
>> With me, like, going back
00:12:59.87\00:13:02.28
to kind of like choosing to go
00:13:02.28\00:13:04.55
certain directions and
00:13:04.55\00:13:06.21
whatever, it was like, "K,"
00:13:06.21\00:13:07.82
"so, Lord, what direction do"
00:13:07.82\00:13:09.22
"you want me to go in?"
00:13:09.22\00:13:10.52
That was those things that I
00:13:10.52\00:13:11.45
struggled with.
00:13:11.45\00:13:12.69
I'm like, "K, so like can You"
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.32
"just, like, point a finger"
00:13:14.32\00:13:15.49
"or something for me or"
00:13:15.49\00:13:16.79
"whatever?"
00:13:16.79\00:13:17.99
And so when I found this in
00:13:17.99\00:13:19.29
Proverbs I thought it was,
00:13:19.29\00:13:21.90
you know, quite refreshing,
00:13:21.90\00:13:23.06
it said...
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.43
>> So, Clay and Sarah,
00:13:42.58\00:13:43.79
can you tell us when the
00:13:43.79\00:13:45.35
Sabbath became important in
00:13:45.35\00:13:46.79
your lives?
00:13:46.79\00:13:48.29
>> Yeah, so like I'd gotten to
00:13:48.29\00:13:49.59
this point now where I'd study
00:13:49.59\00:13:50.73
the word of God, I'd tested it
00:13:50.73\00:13:52.23
to be true, you know, and so
00:13:52.23\00:13:54.56
we come across creation where
00:13:54.56\00:13:57.80
God had created the earth in
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.13
six days and the seventh
00:13:59.13\00:14:00.50
He rested.
00:14:00.50\00:14:01.87
And then you got in Exodus 31,
00:14:01.87\00:14:04.64
I think it is, where it talks
00:14:04.64\00:14:06.04
about, "It's a sign of my"
00:14:06.04\00:14:07.31
"people."
00:14:07.31\00:14:08.84
And I mean, there's just a lot
00:14:08.84\00:14:10.61
of texts in the Bible that
00:14:10.61\00:14:12.88
show you that this is an
00:14:12.88\00:14:14.32
important thing.
00:14:14.32\00:14:15.85
And I remember testing the
00:14:15.85\00:14:17.25
waters with other people, like
00:14:17.25\00:14:19.12
other denominations as to,
00:14:19.12\00:14:21.89
you know, why should we not
00:14:21.89\00:14:23.59
follow this?
00:14:23.59\00:14:24.89
I couldn't figure out a reason
00:14:24.89\00:14:26.29
why you shouldn't, so...
00:14:26.29\00:14:28.36
So I guess you just gotta walk
00:14:28.36\00:14:30.63
in it, right.
00:14:30.63\00:14:31.87
>> And for you, Sarah, where did
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.20
the Sabbath come in for you?
00:14:35.20\00:14:37.51
>> Clay actually introduced it
00:14:37.51\00:14:39.41
to me when we were together
00:14:39.41\00:14:40.74
and me being a hard-core
00:14:40.74\00:14:42.48
Sunday-keeper, I had no idea
00:14:42.48\00:14:44.75
what on earth he was talking
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.25
about when he told me the
00:14:46.25\00:14:47.58
Sabbath was on Saturday.
00:14:47.58\00:14:49.75
So he had this Doug Batchelor
00:14:49.75\00:14:52.12
seminar that he introduced to
00:14:52.12\00:14:54.52
me and I watched that.
00:14:54.52\00:14:56.49
So it is tricky 'cause when
00:14:56.49\00:14:58.46
you are a Sunday-keeper and
00:14:58.46\00:15:00.06
people start hearing that
00:15:00.06\00:15:01.43
you're considering to keep the
00:15:01.43\00:15:03.16
Sabbath day over Sunday, the
00:15:03.16\00:15:05.97
amount of people that come and
00:15:05.97\00:15:08.40
attack and, you know, not
00:15:08.40\00:15:10.24
literally attack, but just...
00:15:10.24\00:15:11.94
I feel like it's attacking the
00:15:11.94\00:15:13.17
word of God, you know.
00:15:13.17\00:15:15.01
Over time I realized that if
00:15:17.21\00:15:20.35
you really wanna find truth,
00:15:20.35\00:15:22.38
you know, Satan's working
00:15:22.38\00:15:23.49
extremely hard, he's going to
00:15:23.49\00:15:25.12
in every church be attacking
00:15:25.12\00:15:26.89
the church in certain ways or
00:15:26.89\00:15:28.16
trying to lead people astray
00:15:28.16\00:15:29.49
and I started realizing that,
00:15:29.49\00:15:31.13
that...
00:15:31.13\00:15:32.23
you can't go to people
00:15:34.56\00:15:36.93
for answers, you have to go
00:15:36.93\00:15:41.54
strictly to the word of God.
00:15:41.54\00:15:43.34
And so we were doing that and
00:15:43.34\00:15:45.67
when you actually search the
00:15:45.67\00:15:47.28
Bible, it's-- you can't deny
00:15:47.28\00:15:51.88
it, the Sabbath is 100% legit.
00:15:51.88\00:15:55.85
>> And so when that happens,
00:15:57.02\00:15:58.59
and like you said, Sarah, you
00:15:58.59\00:16:00.29
put your faith in God and not
00:16:00.29\00:16:02.02
your faith in man...
00:16:02.02\00:16:03.43
[SARAH] Exactly.
00:16:03.43\00:16:04.79
>> He leads in such a powerful
00:16:04.79\00:16:07.10
way and makes things so clear
00:16:07.10\00:16:09.46
to you, like, even for you,
00:16:09.46\00:16:11.47
Clay, you couldn't play hockey
00:16:11.47\00:16:13.00
anymore because that happened
00:16:13.00\00:16:14.34
on a Friday night and a
00:16:14.34\00:16:15.80
Saturday so your hockey games
00:16:15.80\00:16:18.37
were done, but you were so
00:16:18.37\00:16:21.01
happy to do that because you
00:16:21.01\00:16:22.41
wanted to honour God and you
00:16:22.41\00:16:23.68
wanted to make the
00:16:23.68\00:16:24.91
Sabbath special.
00:16:24.91\00:16:26.31
>> You learn about Him, you
00:16:26.31\00:16:27.92
learn from obedience to Him,
00:16:27.92\00:16:29.82
good things come and so then
00:16:29.82\00:16:33.29
you, you know, you just wanna
00:16:33.29\00:16:35.02
keep in it.
00:16:35.02\00:16:36.06
It's not that you're doing it
00:16:36.06\00:16:37.63
because of rules, you're doing
00:16:37.63\00:16:38.79
it because you love God,
00:16:38.79\00:16:40.50
you know, and so...
00:16:40.50\00:16:42.06
[SARAH] And it does turn into
00:16:42.06\00:16:43.26
a blessing and it is amazing
00:16:43.26\00:16:44.43
that once a week the Creator
00:16:44.43\00:16:45.90
of the universe wants wants to
00:16:45.90\00:16:47.10
meet with you, you know,
00:16:47.10\00:16:48.57
it's-- it is amazing.
00:16:48.57\00:16:50.24
>> Yeah, for sure.
00:16:50.24\00:16:51.84
>> And so then the Sabbath
00:16:51.84\00:16:53.14
becomes a delight.
00:16:53.14\00:16:54.08
[SARAH] It is, it really is.
00:16:54.08\00:16:55.48
[CLAY] Yeah, yeah.
00:16:55.48\00:16:56.64
You don't always understand
00:16:56.64\00:16:58.41
why God has these things for
00:16:58.41\00:17:00.72
you, but you just trust Him
00:17:00.72\00:17:02.15
and you walk in them.
00:17:02.15\00:17:03.69
And then when you do that,
00:17:03.69\00:17:05.32
then the blessings follow.
00:17:05.32\00:17:06.99
It's just like when God told
00:17:06.99\00:17:09.26
Joshua, you know, when you put
00:17:09.26\00:17:10.99
your feet into the river, then
00:17:10.99\00:17:12.46
it'll split.
00:17:12.46\00:17:13.76
It's-- when you walk in
00:17:13.76\00:17:17.13
obedience to God, then you
00:17:17.13\00:17:18.47
find the blessings that
00:17:18.47\00:17:19.90
follow, and so-- but you have
00:17:19.90\00:17:21.67
to take that step first and
00:17:21.67\00:17:23.47
sometimes that step is tough
00:17:23.47\00:17:26.74
because, you know, it takes
00:17:26.74\00:17:29.28
sacrifice, it takes trust, it
00:17:29.28\00:17:31.81
takes, you know...
00:17:31.81\00:17:33.98
But when you do it then you
00:17:33.98\00:17:36.45
realize, like I said, the
00:17:36.45\00:17:38.49
blessings will follow, so...
00:17:38.49\00:17:40.66
>> So, Sarah and Clay, now
00:17:40.66\00:17:42.76
that you had found your
00:17:42.76\00:17:43.89
identity in Jesus, God had
00:17:43.89\00:17:45.49
brought you together and you
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.46
had a happy relationship and
00:17:47.46\00:17:49.10
then you found out that you
00:17:49.10\00:17:50.77
were expecting your first
00:17:50.77\00:17:52.10
baby, but it wasn't exactly
00:17:52.10\00:17:53.74
what you expected.
00:17:53.74\00:17:55.67
>> Yeah, so as I was finding
00:17:55.67\00:17:57.94
out about the Sabbath, I got
00:17:57.94\00:17:59.41
pregnant and our first
00:17:59.41\00:18:01.98
ultrasound we found out that
00:18:01.98\00:18:04.21
our son had gastroschisis.
00:18:04.21\00:18:06.21
So basically just a little
00:18:06.21\00:18:08.78
part of his stomach, when he
00:18:08.78\00:18:10.29
was forming, the skin doesn't
00:18:10.29\00:18:11.92
form and his intestines were
00:18:11.92\00:18:13.46
all outside of his tummy.
00:18:13.46\00:18:15.72
So...actually the day that I
00:18:15.72\00:18:19.03
was supposed to get baptized
00:18:19.03\00:18:21.10
into the church, six weeks
00:18:21.10\00:18:23.47
early my son was born so he
00:18:23.47\00:18:26.23
was a premie.
00:18:26.23\00:18:27.94
[CLAY] We ended up getting
00:18:27.94\00:18:29.54
flown to Saskatoon and we--
00:18:29.54\00:18:33.74
They put them in a-- put the
00:18:33.74\00:18:36.28
intestines in a bag over top
00:18:36.28\00:18:37.75
of his stomach and they slowly
00:18:37.75\00:18:39.88
worked them back into the
00:18:39.88\00:18:43.59
stomach area, like the
00:18:43.59\00:18:45.02
bowel there.
00:18:45.02\00:18:47.09
And so, you know, everything
00:18:47.09\00:18:52.39
went fast and good and
00:18:52.39\00:18:56.73
effective then and so we got
00:18:56.73\00:18:58.50
out the of the neonatal in
00:18:58.50\00:19:02.27
good time, but when we had
00:19:02.27\00:19:04.57
gotten home, it was a few
00:19:04.57\00:19:06.57
weeks later that he ended up
00:19:06.57\00:19:08.18
having a, like a...
00:19:08.18\00:19:09.64
>> Inguinal hernia.
00:19:09.64\00:19:11.18
>> Yeah, and so we had to--
00:19:11.18\00:19:14.85
like we just heard him
00:19:14.85\00:19:16.45
screaming like terrible and so
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.32
we thought, "OK, this isn't"
00:19:18.32\00:19:19.99
"good, we better get him in,"
00:19:19.99\00:19:21.22
and then we went to the
00:19:21.22\00:19:22.42
doctor, he said, "Get him up"
00:19:22.42\00:19:23.66
"there fast," so we sped up
00:19:23.66\00:19:24.73
fast to Saskatoon.
00:19:24.73\00:19:26.83
And so when we got up there,
00:19:26.83\00:19:29.80
the surgeon looked at it and
00:19:29.80\00:19:31.67
he said, "OK, I need you guys"
00:19:31.67\00:19:33.03
"to make a choice."
00:19:33.03\00:19:34.30
He said, "You can push the"
00:19:34.30\00:19:36.10
"hernia back in and we can"
00:19:36.10\00:19:37.64
"just hope the intestines are"
00:19:37.64\00:19:39.01
"good, if they're not, if"
00:19:39.01\00:19:40.88
"they've become distended"
00:19:40.88\00:19:42.61
"then, you know, they'll die"
00:19:42.61\00:19:45.75
"quickly and we'll have to"
00:19:45.75\00:19:47.52
"remove intestines and stuff."
00:19:47.52\00:19:49.02
"Or I can bring it out and"
00:19:49.02\00:19:50.99
"check it out and see how..."
00:19:50.99\00:19:53.42
"...see how it is and then"
00:19:54.52\00:19:55.96
"we can put it back in."
00:19:55.96\00:19:58.23
So we made the decision, we
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.79
thought we'd better take the
00:19:59.79\00:20:01.13
cautious thing and have them
00:20:01.13\00:20:02.53
remove it again.
00:20:02.53\00:20:04.03
Well, once they removed them,
00:20:04.03\00:20:06.63
then we were just in a whole
00:20:06.63\00:20:08.47
wad of complications because
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.07
the-- they put him back in
00:20:11.07\00:20:13.51
that situation where they had
00:20:13.51\00:20:14.84
to, like, slowly put the
00:20:14.84\00:20:16.44
intestines back in, but it
00:20:16.44\00:20:18.65
ended up getting a bacterial
00:20:18.65\00:20:20.48
infection called klebsiella
00:20:20.48\00:20:22.42
which spiked his white blood
00:20:22.42\00:20:24.22
cell count and so we had a
00:20:24.22\00:20:26.42
12-hour notice that, you know,
00:20:26.42\00:20:29.42
he was gonna die for that one
00:20:29.42\00:20:32.16
and he pulled through with,
00:20:32.16\00:20:34.56
you know, the most powerful
00:20:34.56\00:20:35.86
antibiotics they had.
00:20:35.86\00:20:37.83
And then I remember us, we
00:20:37.83\00:20:39.77
were just like feeling, like,
00:20:39.77\00:20:41.17
just sick, we were just
00:20:41.17\00:20:42.50
feeling beside ourselves.
00:20:42.50\00:20:43.81
[SARAH] And you keep on trying
00:20:43.81\00:20:45.01
to make decisions for your son
00:20:45.01\00:20:46.01
and everything just keeps
00:20:46.01\00:20:47.08
backfiring, right.
00:20:47.08\00:20:48.11
>> Yeah.
00:20:48.11\00:20:49.41
So, you know, we're just
00:20:49.41\00:20:53.11
thinking, like, we're kinda
00:20:53.11\00:20:54.45
seeking God on this and we're
00:20:54.45\00:20:55.68
like, "Hey, Lord," like,
00:20:55.68\00:20:57.52
you know, "we've aligned"
00:20:57.52\00:20:59.05
"ourselves with Your will as"
00:20:59.05\00:21:00.96
"much as we possibly can,"
00:21:00.96\00:21:02.26
like, "what is possibly"
00:21:02.26\00:21:03.86
"happening here," like...
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.39
And so I remember, you know,
00:21:06.23\00:21:08.33
just seeking His face and
00:21:08.33\00:21:10.57
praying and, you know, we just
00:21:10.57\00:21:11.93
kinda got to this position
00:21:11.93\00:21:13.40
where we were just thinking,
00:21:13.40\00:21:14.80
"Lord," like, "whatever it"
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.47
"is, I mean, if he's gonna"
00:21:16.47\00:21:19.47
"pass, you know, then we'll"
00:21:19.47\00:21:21.94
"trust You and if he lives"
00:21:21.94\00:21:24.45
"we'll trust You, too, but,"
00:21:24.45\00:21:26.41
"like, we trust You in this,"
00:21:26.41\00:21:27.65
and, like, just giving it to
00:21:27.65\00:21:29.25
His hands, right.
00:21:29.25\00:21:30.55
And at the same time, camp
00:21:30.55\00:21:32.02
meeting was going on.
00:21:32.02\00:21:33.62
We were in contact with Pastor
00:21:33.62\00:21:35.29
Scott and he was telling the
00:21:35.29\00:21:36.86
whole camp meeting, everybody
00:21:36.86\00:21:38.26
was praying and, you know, I
00:21:38.26\00:21:40.80
think of the verse, "When my"
00:21:40.80\00:21:42.20
"people who are called by My"
00:21:42.20\00:21:43.70
"name will humble themselves"
00:21:43.70\00:21:45.63
"and pray, I will hear"
00:21:45.63\00:21:46.80
"on high."
00:21:46.80\00:21:47.97
And so we made another
00:21:47.97\00:21:50.54
decision to close him up and
00:21:50.54\00:21:52.41
put the intestines in for good
00:21:52.41\00:21:55.21
and from that he got into a
00:21:55.21\00:21:57.68
compulsive swelling syndrome
00:21:57.68\00:22:00.05
and we thought to ourselves,
00:22:00.05\00:22:01.22
"OK, well, this might be,"
00:22:01.22\00:22:02.98
"the end," right.
00:22:02.98\00:22:04.49
[SARAH] Yeah.
00:22:04.49\00:22:05.72
I mean, it got to a point
00:22:05.72\00:22:07.09
where the doctor came and
00:22:07.09\00:22:08.42
asked if we wanted a priest or
00:22:08.42\00:22:09.46
something 'cause they said,
00:22:09.46\00:22:11.09
you know, "If what we're"
00:22:11.09\00:22:13.36
"gonna do doesn't work,"
00:22:13.36\00:22:14.83
"he could be dead in three"
00:22:14.83\00:22:16.00
"hours," so...
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.43
[CLAY] So we called and we
00:22:17.43\00:22:18.67
said, "Pray, just pray like"
00:22:18.67\00:22:19.90
"you've never prayed before."
00:22:19.90\00:22:21.34
Like we had said, we'd already
00:22:21.34\00:22:22.50
got to that position where we
00:22:22.50\00:22:24.11
were kind of released and gave
00:22:24.11\00:22:25.24
it into God's hands.
00:22:25.24\00:22:26.57
And then I remember it was
00:22:26.57\00:22:28.71
sometime that night when
00:22:28.71\00:22:30.55
Pastor Scott walked down to
00:22:30.55\00:22:32.48
the river or whatever and
00:22:32.48\00:22:34.72
these lights appeared and he
00:22:34.72\00:22:36.48
said that God always speaks to
00:22:36.48\00:22:38.12
him through nature and so he
00:22:38.12\00:22:43.09
called us, I don't know, like,
00:22:43.09\00:22:47.13
just-- like he, yeah, he gave
00:22:47.13\00:22:49.33
us a phone call and he said,
00:22:49.33\00:22:50.50
"I just want you to know,"
00:22:50.50\00:22:53.47
"I've just kind of received"
00:22:53.47\00:22:55.04
"affirmation that Cruz is"
00:22:55.04\00:22:56.24
"gonna be OK.
00:22:56.24\00:22:57.87
And it was moments after that
00:22:57.87\00:23:00.94
the surgeon walked in and said
00:23:00.94\00:23:03.28
that, yeah, he's seen a
00:23:03.28\00:23:05.45
miracle.
00:23:05.45\00:23:06.88
He said he wasn't sure how
00:23:06.88\00:23:09.05
to-- like, how did he say it?
00:23:09.05\00:23:13.69
"Whatever God you believe in,"
00:23:13.69\00:23:15.96
he said, "created a miracle,"
00:23:15.96\00:23:17.73
or something to that matter.
00:23:17.73\00:23:19.43
But, you know, the swellings
00:23:19.43\00:23:21.23
had gotten so bad that they
00:23:21.23\00:23:22.80
had to end it and then this
00:23:22.80\00:23:24.90
turned around.
00:23:24.90\00:23:26.47
[MIKE] And there's a beautiful
00:23:26.47\00:23:27.47
Bible verse on there.
00:23:27.47\00:23:29.34
[CLAY] Yeah, yeah, so it
00:23:29.34\00:23:30.97
says...
00:23:30.97\00:23:31.94
And so I guess I would like to
00:23:37.55\00:23:38.95
tie that into the whole story
00:23:38.95\00:23:40.25
where, you know, when we
00:23:40.25\00:23:44.65
thought that we were hopeless,
00:23:44.65\00:23:47.52
that's when God could show us
00:23:47.52\00:23:49.86
His marvellous light.
00:23:49.86\00:23:52.06
[SARAH] That and just fully...
00:23:52.06\00:23:54.86
fully giving things over to
00:23:54.86\00:23:55.86
God, you know.
00:23:55.86\00:23:57.30
I'm really bad at that.
00:23:57.30\00:23:58.70
I always tell Him I trust Him,
00:23:58.70\00:24:00.07
but I always try to do things
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.34
in my own power and it always
00:24:01.34\00:24:03.17
backfires and it was like in
00:24:03.17\00:24:05.97
that moment, you know, we were
00:24:05.97\00:24:08.18
just finally giving it to God
00:24:08.18\00:24:09.84
and telling Him, like, you
00:24:09.84\00:24:11.38
know, "Whether You have my"
00:24:11.38\00:24:12.55
"son or..."
00:24:12.55\00:24:13.95
Um...yeah it was in that
00:24:23.63\00:24:26.19
moment where we finally just
00:24:26.19\00:24:28.63
gave our son to God that
00:24:28.63\00:24:31.57
suddenly things turned around.
00:24:31.57\00:24:33.27
It was just another
00:24:33.27\00:24:34.54
purifying moment.
00:24:34.54\00:24:35.64
[MIKE] And how's he doing
00:24:40.84\00:24:41.81
academically?
00:24:41.81\00:24:43.11
>> Yeah, I mean, the teachers
00:24:43.11\00:24:44.61
have said he's above average
00:24:44.61\00:24:46.01
with his thinking and
00:24:46.01\00:24:49.98
speaking, he's a very good
00:24:49.98\00:24:51.75
speaker and, yeah, so...
00:24:51.75\00:24:54.72
[MIKE] That's awesome.
00:24:54.72\00:24:56.32
>> Clay and Sarah, he really
00:24:56.32\00:24:58.39
is your miracle baby, so...
00:24:58.39\00:25:01.26
It's amazing when we give,
00:25:01.26\00:25:03.70
when we give our children to
00:25:03.70\00:25:05.10
God because they really are a
00:25:05.10\00:25:06.80
gift from Him and they belong
00:25:06.80\00:25:09.07
to Him and so it's so
00:25:09.07\00:25:11.34
beautiful to see how He took
00:25:11.34\00:25:13.17
care of the treasure and the
00:25:13.17\00:25:15.54
gift that He gave to you.
00:25:15.54\00:25:16.81
>> And just how faithful
00:25:16.81\00:25:18.01
God is.
00:25:18.01\00:25:19.38
There's so many times where I
00:25:19.38\00:25:21.75
almost feel like I'm unworthy
00:25:21.75\00:25:23.35
or, you know, you-- we
00:25:23.35\00:25:25.62
struggle, right, you--
00:25:25.62\00:25:27.22
We know about truth, but then
00:25:27.22\00:25:29.66
worldly things, you know, you
00:25:29.66\00:25:31.13
fall back and just, I feel
00:25:31.13\00:25:34.83
like our life has proved how
00:25:34.83\00:25:36.50
faithful God is 'cause He's--
00:25:36.50\00:25:39.67
He gives us way more than we
00:25:39.67\00:25:41.10
deserve, that's for sure.
00:25:41.10\00:25:42.60
>> Clay, could you please pray
00:25:43.77\00:25:45.21
for us right now?
00:25:45.21\00:25:46.68
[CLAY] Yes, for sure.
00:25:46.68\00:25:48.04
Father God, I just wanna thank
00:25:49.71\00:25:51.08

00:25:51.08\00:25:53.42
