>> Hello and thank you for
00:00:00.70\00:00:02.00
joining us on It Is Written
00:00:02.00\00:00:03.50
Canada.
00:00:03.50\00:00:04.87
I can clearly remember
00:00:04.87\00:00:06.53
visiting a little village in a
00:00:06.53\00:00:08.24
third world country where
00:00:08.24\00:00:09.50
garbage littered the streets,
00:00:09.50\00:00:11.14
mice and rats scurried along
00:00:11.14\00:00:13.27
the back ally ways, and even
00:00:13.27\00:00:15.28
inside the rows and rows of
00:00:15.28\00:00:17.38
shacks.
00:00:17.38\00:00:18.51
But despite these obvious
00:00:18.98\00:00:20.78
signs of poverty, happy
00:00:20.78\00:00:22.78
children played in the streets
00:00:22.78\00:00:24.82
and every puny hovel I entered
00:00:24.82\00:00:27.76
was a home filled with joy.
00:00:27.76\00:00:30.49
>> Most of these people did
00:00:30.49\00:00:32.33
not own a pair of shoes and
00:00:32.33\00:00:34.10
their mealtimes consisted of
00:00:34.10\00:00:36.26
the same food, breakfast,
00:00:36.26\00:00:38.80
lunch, and supper; rice and
00:00:38.80\00:00:41.80
whatever vegetables or fruit
00:00:41.80\00:00:43.20
they could grow.
00:00:43.20\00:00:44.84
[MIKE] None of the little
00:00:44.84\00:00:46.21
shacks these people lived in
00:00:46.21\00:00:47.61
had beds to sleep on, just
00:00:47.61\00:00:49.71
hard dirt and cement floors.
00:00:49.71\00:00:52.61
Yet there was such a cheerful
00:00:52.61\00:00:54.78
atmosphere in every single
00:00:54.78\00:00:57.09
dwelling I entered.
00:00:57.09\00:00:59.22
>> They spoke of their
00:00:59.22\00:01:00.56
blessings, their many, many
00:01:00.56\00:01:03.02
blessings.
00:01:03.02\00:01:04.53
They sang and sang and sang.
00:01:04.53\00:01:07.60
Singing came from the tin
00:01:07.60\00:01:09.30
shacks, the old churches and
00:01:09.30\00:01:11.53
even from the little trading
00:01:11.53\00:01:12.90
kiosks along the street.
00:01:12.90\00:01:15.40
>> When I asked the people why
00:01:15.84\00:01:17.44
they were so joyful, they
00:01:17.44\00:01:19.31
answered, "Because God is so
00:01:19.31\00:01:22.04
good," and it reminded me of
00:01:22.04\00:01:23.85
Daniel in the Bible who was a
00:01:23.85\00:01:25.68
prisoner in Babylon.
00:01:25.68\00:01:27.55
And yet he proclaimed...
00:01:27.55\00:01:29.55
[REN巿 Or Joseph, who despite
00:01:34.16\00:01:35.86
being confined in prison, was
00:01:35.86\00:01:38.19
so thankful and remained
00:01:38.19\00:01:40.33
hopeful and positive because
00:01:40.33\00:01:42.80
he positioned his faith in God.
00:01:42.80\00:01:46.07
>> Today on It Is Written
00:01:46.07\00:01:47.37
Canada you will meet David and
00:01:47.37\00:01:49.64
Darrell Beaudoin, who also
00:01:49.64\00:01:52.14
chose to position their faith
00:01:52.14\00:01:53.61
in God.
00:01:53.61\00:01:54.78
Their story has always been a
00:01:54.78\00:01:56.88
source of inspiration to me,
00:01:56.88\00:01:59.11
personally, because they are
00:01:59.11\00:02:01.15
both so cheerful and thankful
00:02:01.15\00:02:04.15
to Jesus for the peace that He
00:02:04.15\00:02:06.42
has brought into their lives.
00:02:06.42\00:02:08.92
However, they were not always
00:02:08.92\00:02:11.23
so joyful.
00:02:11.23\00:02:12.49
In a moment, you will hear
00:02:12.49\00:02:13.96
their story.
00:02:13.96\00:02:15.40
中
00:02:17.23\00:02:52.80
[MIKE] Thank you for joining
00:02:59.87\00:03:01.41
us again on It Is Written
00:03:01.41\00:03:02.61
Canada.
00:03:02.61\00:03:03.48
We are here in Fort
00:03:03.48\00:03:05.08
Saskatchewan, Alberta where we
00:03:05.08\00:03:06.95
are visiting with our good
00:03:06.95\00:03:08.42
friends, Pastors David and
00:03:08.42\00:03:10.99
Darrell Beaudoin, whose story
00:03:10.99\00:03:13.62
and their Christian journey
00:03:13.62\00:03:15.22
has always been a source of
00:03:15.22\00:03:17.26
inspiration to me, personally.
00:03:17.26\00:03:19.39
[REN巿 David and Darrell, thank
00:03:20.33\00:03:21.73
you so much for joining us on
00:03:21.73\00:03:23.03
It Is Written Canada.
00:03:23.03\00:03:24.70
>> It is our pleasure to be
00:03:24.70\00:03:25.67
with you today.
00:03:25.67\00:03:26.74
>> Thank you for the
00:03:26.74\00:03:27.70
invitation, yes.
00:03:27.70\00:03:29.00
>> So, you guys are obviously
00:03:29.00\00:03:30.71
identical twins.
00:03:30.71\00:03:32.77
Can you tell us--
00:03:32.77\00:03:33.98
[DARRELL] Can you tell?
00:03:33.98\00:03:34.91
[laughter]
00:03:34.91\00:03:36.24
>> Can you tell us what it was
00:03:36.24\00:03:37.48
like and how this influenced
00:03:37.48\00:03:38.71
your lives?
00:03:38.71\00:03:39.95
[DARRELL] You know, being a twin
00:03:40.95\00:03:43.69
is a novelty for many people so
00:03:43.69\00:03:47.19
growing up we had many
00:03:47.19\00:03:49.02
experiences and opportunities
00:03:49.02\00:03:50.53
where people would kind of
00:03:50.53\00:03:51.99
spot-light us at school, at
00:03:51.99\00:03:54.73
our early church experience,
00:03:54.73\00:03:56.73
and they'd get us up there to
00:03:56.73\00:03:58.20
sing songs together, music's
00:03:58.20\00:03:59.60
been a very integral part of
00:03:59.60\00:04:01.24
our experience.
00:04:01.24\00:04:02.40
[DAVID] But it's been a real
00:04:02.40\00:04:03.74
blessing to be twins and just
00:04:03.74\00:04:05.44
to have somebody around that
00:04:05.44\00:04:07.88
you can bounce ideas off and
00:04:07.88\00:04:10.01
have some fun with and, yeah,
00:04:10.01\00:04:12.11
it's just been really good.
00:04:12.11\00:04:13.85
[DARRELL] Yeah.
00:04:13.85\00:04:15.15
>> You have always inspired me
00:04:15.15\00:04:17.49
with the closeness that you
00:04:17.49\00:04:19.12
have, like you talk to each
00:04:19.12\00:04:20.69
other regularly, you share
00:04:20.69\00:04:22.56
common interests and...
00:04:22.56\00:04:24.16
>> That's the key right there.
00:04:24.16\00:04:25.39
Because we share a common
00:04:25.39\00:04:26.76
interest, we are on the same
00:04:26.76\00:04:28.30
page with so many things in
00:04:28.30\00:04:30.00
life and therefore it behooves
00:04:30.00\00:04:31.77
us to stay connected and to
00:04:31.77\00:04:33.37
draw from each other.
00:04:33.37\00:04:34.84
>> There was a time where we
00:04:34.84\00:04:36.20
weren't that close, you know,
00:04:36.20\00:04:37.44
and as we entered our teen
00:04:37.44\00:04:38.97
years, there was a bit of a
00:04:38.97\00:04:40.51
separation, you know, he went
00:04:40.51\00:04:42.38
into his rock 'n roll days and
00:04:42.38\00:04:44.65
I went into my music, but that
00:04:44.65\00:04:47.48
time we gave our life to Christ,
00:04:47.48\00:04:49.38
that changed everything.
00:04:49.38\00:04:51.25
>> But we body-built together,
00:04:51.25\00:04:52.69
didn't we?
00:04:52.69\00:04:53.62
>> Well, sometimes, yeah.
00:04:53.62\00:04:55.02
But we still-- we just didn't
00:04:55.02\00:04:56.16
have that closeness.
00:04:56.16\00:04:57.29
>> Can you imagine a skinny
00:04:57.29\00:04:58.36
vegetarian body-builder?
00:04:58.36\00:04:59.86
[MIKE] That's awesome.
00:04:59.86\00:05:01.23
>> That's the way it was back
00:05:01.23\00:05:02.30
then, yeah.
00:05:02.30\00:05:03.06
>> So take us back to your
00:05:03.06\00:05:05.00
childhood, what was that like
00:05:05.00\00:05:06.47
in your home, growing up as
00:05:06.47\00:05:09.37
identical twins, but also just
00:05:09.37\00:05:11.74
what was the home life like?
00:05:11.74\00:05:13.38
>> Well, we were the second
00:05:13.38\00:05:14.74
generation of twins, we have
00:05:14.74\00:05:16.24
uncles that were twins and so
00:05:16.24\00:05:18.18
we were greatly loved, you
00:05:18.18\00:05:19.98
know, I have to say that and...
00:05:19.98\00:05:21.95
>> Very social home, too.
00:05:21.95\00:05:23.99
Our neighbourhood was somewhat,
00:05:23.99\00:05:26.76
our home was somewhat of a hub
00:05:26.76\00:05:28.42
to our neighbourhood.
00:05:28.42\00:05:29.59
Lots of friends coming and
00:05:29.59\00:05:30.83
going, there was a lot of
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.66
comradery, a very social type
00:05:32.66\00:05:35.90
of life that we had.
00:05:35.90\00:05:37.30
[DAVID] Yeah, yeah.
00:05:37.30\00:05:38.50
>> And do you have any siblings?
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.67
>> We do, yeah.
00:05:40.67\00:05:42.20
We were a family of seven
00:05:42.20\00:05:43.61
of us including the parents,
00:05:43.61\00:05:45.01
but there was two girls and
00:05:45.01\00:05:46.68
three boys, yeah.
00:05:46.68\00:05:48.11
[DARRELL] Yeah, I would say
00:05:48.11\00:05:49.41
that our early ages, too, was
00:05:49.41\00:05:51.38
passing through the 60's, the
00:05:51.38\00:05:53.05
70's, and kind of the
00:05:53.05\00:05:54.62
generations that-- the "Me"
00:05:54.62\00:05:56.12
generation, the "If it feels
00:05:56.12\00:05:57.45
good, do it" generation...
00:05:57.45\00:05:58.65
[DAVID] Well, the hippie
00:05:58.65\00:05:59.69
generation.
00:05:59.69\00:06:00.66
[DARRELL] The hippie generation,
00:06:00.66\00:06:01.79
that, too, and that's sort of
00:06:01.79\00:06:02.76
the detriment, to our
00:06:02.76\00:06:03.99
disadvantage 'cause we got
00:06:03.99\00:06:05.39
caught up in, you know, the
00:06:05.39\00:06:07.00
atmosphere of that generation.
00:06:07.00\00:06:08.60
Yet our home was still
00:06:08.60\00:06:10.43
somewhat of a Judeo-Christian
00:06:10.43\00:06:11.73
atmosphere.
00:06:11.73\00:06:13.50
Mom came from Anglican
00:06:13.50\00:06:16.10
background, Mormon background,
00:06:16.10\00:06:18.11
our father was Catholic, so
00:06:18.11\00:06:20.14
those sprinklings of religion
00:06:20.14\00:06:23.48
were present in our life.
00:06:23.48\00:06:25.01
>> Our mom and dad divorced
00:06:25.01\00:06:26.31
when we were about ten, eleven
00:06:26.31\00:06:27.55
years old, so that definitely
00:06:27.55\00:06:28.72
sent us in a different
00:06:28.72\00:06:29.78
direction.
00:06:29.78\00:06:30.65
>> So, David and Darrell, were
00:06:31.22\00:06:32.75
there any early life
00:06:32.75\00:06:34.36
experiences that contributed
00:06:34.36\00:06:35.99
to you being open to the
00:06:35.99\00:06:37.56
Holy Spirit?
00:06:37.56\00:06:38.96
>> Well, I definitely remember
00:06:38.96\00:06:41.10
one occasion laying out in a
00:06:41.10\00:06:44.13
school field behind our house
00:06:44.13\00:06:46.10
and it was in the evening
00:06:46.10\00:06:47.87
time, I'm not sure if Darrell
00:06:47.87\00:06:49.14
was there that night or not...
00:06:49.14\00:06:50.41
>> And I'm surprised that, you
00:06:50.41\00:06:51.61
know, that you say it's one
00:06:51.61\00:06:52.87
experience, but obviously very
00:06:52.87\00:06:53.78
memorable to you.
00:06:53.78\00:06:54.88
>> But I remember just
00:06:54.88\00:06:56.18
looking up at the stars and
00:06:56.18\00:06:57.51
just contemplating eternity
00:06:57.51\00:06:58.98
and looking up and just
00:06:58.98\00:07:00.48
thinking, "Oh, what happens if
00:07:00.48\00:07:01.82
you get through a brick wall,
00:07:01.82\00:07:03.02
what's on the other side of
00:07:03.02\00:07:03.89
the brick wall?"
00:07:03.89\00:07:04.92
You know?
00:07:04.92\00:07:05.85
But the thought came to me
00:07:05.85\00:07:07.09
that night that, you know,
00:07:07.09\00:07:08.52
whoever is out there and at
00:07:08.52\00:07:10.19
that time I thought God flew
00:07:10.19\00:07:11.66
around in a UFO, and I thought
00:07:11.66\00:07:13.06
whoever it was that was out
00:07:13.06\00:07:14.76
there, he had to be kind, you
00:07:14.76\00:07:16.63
know, and I can't explain why
00:07:16.63\00:07:18.17
that thought came into my
00:07:18.17\00:07:19.53
mind, maybe I just felt so
00:07:19.53\00:07:21.10
insignificant, but whoever was
00:07:21.10\00:07:23.20
out there that that was God,
00:07:23.20\00:07:25.34
had to be kind and loving and
00:07:25.34\00:07:27.64
it's just a thought that just
00:07:27.64\00:07:28.91
followed me right into my
00:07:28.91\00:07:30.18
conversion experience later
00:07:30.18\00:07:31.51
years in life.
00:07:31.51\00:07:32.65
>> And that's why I mentioned
00:07:32.65\00:07:33.78
about being surprised about
00:07:33.78\00:07:35.15
the one time he can remember
00:07:35.15\00:07:36.55
that 'cause for me it seems
00:07:36.55\00:07:38.09
that from, you know, most of
00:07:38.09\00:07:40.02
my teen years, 12 to 18, many
00:07:40.02\00:07:42.96
times I remember the deep
00:07:42.96\00:07:45.19
existential thoughts, you
00:07:45.19\00:07:47.60
know, staring out the window
00:07:47.60\00:07:49.66
in my bedroom or laying under
00:07:49.66\00:07:51.23
the stars for hours and coming
00:07:51.23\00:07:53.40
to those same thoughts, you
00:07:53.40\00:07:54.97
know, is there a roof to the
00:07:54.97\00:07:57.87
space and what's out there?
00:07:57.87\00:08:00.41
Who's out there? Etcetera.
00:08:00.41\00:08:02.14
And these were, obviously in
00:08:02.14\00:08:03.88
my mind, our minds, you know,
00:08:03.88\00:08:05.51
the stirring of God's spirit
00:08:05.51\00:08:06.95
preparing us.
00:08:06.95\00:08:08.38
And I think of, you know, that
00:08:08.38\00:08:10.72
intrinsic reality with most
00:08:10.72\00:08:13.02
people, that there is these
00:08:13.02\00:08:14.82
inbred inner longings to find
00:08:14.82\00:08:17.49
something that satisfies us
00:08:17.49\00:08:19.89
and the things of this world
00:08:19.89\00:08:21.60
cannot satisfy and that's why
00:08:21.60\00:08:24.03
finding it in Jesus Christ is
00:08:24.03\00:08:26.43
the final experience of a
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.94
blessing for us.
00:08:28.94\00:08:30.61
>> But it's funny, as you look
00:08:30.61\00:08:31.87
back in retrospect, you see
00:08:31.87\00:08:33.04
these incidents where you know
00:08:33.04\00:08:34.31
the Holy Spirit was leading in
00:08:34.31\00:08:35.64
your lives because it led you
00:08:35.64\00:08:36.95
to a certain point in your
00:08:36.95\00:08:38.15
journey.
00:08:38.15\00:08:39.11
>> So there's this longing in
00:08:39.68\00:08:41.62
your hearts, before you became
00:08:41.62\00:08:43.08
a Christian, what were you
00:08:43.08\00:08:44.75
doing, what were you doing in
00:08:44.75\00:08:46.39
your lives?
00:08:46.39\00:08:47.69
>> Well, music was a big part
00:08:48.36\00:08:49.69
of our lives.
00:08:49.69\00:08:50.79
>> Yes, and, of course, when
00:08:50.79\00:08:52.06
Mom and Dad divorced, things
00:08:52.06\00:08:54.36
went south from there as young
00:08:54.36\00:08:57.20
people because you need that
00:08:57.20\00:08:58.97
father figure for young boys,
00:08:58.97\00:09:00.54
I would think, too, as well as
00:09:00.54\00:09:02.17
the mother and I think what my
00:09:02.17\00:09:03.47
mom had to go through trying
00:09:03.47\00:09:05.31
to keep five siblings together
00:09:05.31\00:09:07.11
in an experience where now
00:09:07.11\00:09:09.08
substance abuse, the music,
00:09:09.08\00:09:10.95
the whole...
00:09:10.95\00:09:12.38
>> But it was at that point
00:09:12.38\00:09:13.68
where we really started
00:09:13.68\00:09:14.82
getting into the music.
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.02
Yeah, 'cause we grew up in the
00:09:16.02\00:09:17.35
60's, late 60's and 70's, you
00:09:17.35\00:09:18.59
know, so the hippie generation
00:09:18.59\00:09:21.12
whatever you wanna call it,
00:09:21.12\00:09:22.62
but that's when we started
00:09:22.62\00:09:23.89
getting into music.
00:09:23.89\00:09:25.03
>> And I received my first
00:09:25.03\00:09:26.29
guitar, my first Les Paul
00:09:26.29\00:09:27.93
guitar when I was about 18
00:09:27.93\00:09:29.10
years of age.
00:09:29.10\00:09:30.33
>> Well, we wanted to play
00:09:30.33\00:09:31.57
drums, but my dad bought us a
00:09:31.57\00:09:32.63
guitar and just said,
00:09:32.63\00:09:33.84
"Well, try the guitar, you
00:09:33.84\00:09:34.97
"know, if that doesn't work
00:09:34.97\00:09:36.07
then we'll get you drums."
00:09:36.07\00:09:37.14
He knew what he was doing,
00:09:37.14\00:09:37.97
you know?
00:09:37.97\00:09:39.04
>> That guitar is not around
00:09:39.04\00:09:39.81
today, why is that?
00:09:39.81\00:09:40.84
>> We used to use it for a
00:09:40.84\00:09:41.61
toboggan, yeah.
00:09:41.61\00:09:43.01
We learned to play the guitar
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.11
then we used it for a toboggan
00:09:44.11\00:09:44.85
after that.
00:09:44.85\00:09:45.98
>> We'd throw the guitar in
00:09:45.98\00:09:47.08
its case down the hill and
00:09:47.08\00:09:48.28
we'd both jump on it and fly
00:09:48.28\00:09:49.38
down the rest of the hill on it.
00:09:49.38\00:09:50.62
[DAVID] We were only ten years
00:09:50.62\00:09:51.69
old, so...
00:09:51.69\00:09:52.75
>> It was probably a very nice
00:09:52.75\00:09:53.82
guitar back then to Mom and
00:09:53.82\00:09:54.96
Dad spend the money on, but,
00:09:54.96\00:09:56.29
you know, but years later we
00:09:56.29\00:09:58.03
found that personal desire to
00:09:58.03\00:10:00.96
play the guitar and from then
00:10:00.96\00:10:02.63
on we continued to advance,
00:10:02.63\00:10:04.87
quite rapidly, because when I
00:10:04.87\00:10:06.60
first began playing the guitar
00:10:06.60\00:10:09.10
with a real personal interest,
00:10:09.10\00:10:10.74
within two years I was playing
00:10:10.74\00:10:12.44
in a professional band and
00:10:12.44\00:10:14.61
travelling and doing the gigs,
00:10:14.61\00:10:16.34
as they call it.
00:10:16.34\00:10:18.01
And it was a learning
00:10:18.01\00:10:20.68
experience, but it was a self--
00:10:20.68\00:10:22.88
experience of self-abuse and
00:10:22.88\00:10:24.59
self-destruction over a ten
00:10:24.59\00:10:26.09
year period.
00:10:26.09\00:10:27.32
>> But the music was a big
00:10:27.32\00:10:28.62
part of what we did before our
00:10:28.62\00:10:29.79
conversion experience.
00:10:29.79\00:10:31.33
>> So, David, did you join
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.33
Darrell on all these gigs?
00:10:33.33\00:10:35.33
>> No, no, Darrell was the
00:10:35.33\00:10:37.50
rock 'n roller, he was doing
00:10:37.50\00:10:39.53
his gigs and I was playing my
00:10:39.53\00:10:41.07
acoustic guitar, I liked it a
00:10:41.07\00:10:42.60
little more toned down and--
00:10:42.60\00:10:44.77
But I have to be honest, when
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.34
he was doing his gigs
00:10:46.34\00:10:48.34
and they'd have their little
00:10:48.34\00:10:50.55
parties, first thing I would do
00:10:50.55\00:10:52.31
is go into the bathroom and
00:10:52.31\00:10:53.65
stick toilet paper in my ears
00:10:53.65\00:10:55.65
to deaden things a little bit.
00:10:55.65\00:10:57.15
[DARRELL] And then stick around
00:10:57.15\00:10:58.25
and enjoy the music, right?
00:10:58.25\00:10:59.42
>> Well, that's right, yeah.
00:10:59.42\00:11:00.56
Stick around and enjoy the
00:11:00.56\00:11:01.72
time, but maybe not the music,
00:11:01.72\00:11:03.12
but the party, you know.
00:11:03.12\00:11:04.83
>> Now it was very sordid
00:11:04.83\00:11:06.86
times, playing-- we were an
00:11:06.86\00:11:09.36
A circuit band.
00:11:09.36\00:11:10.93
In Alberta you have the A, B,
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.03
C circuit and the A circuits
00:11:13.03\00:11:14.84
were the tighter, well-paid
00:11:14.84\00:11:16.87
bands and we did those venues.
00:11:16.87\00:11:19.94
And it was a self-destructive
00:11:19.94\00:11:22.38
lifestyle, you know, up all
00:11:22.38\00:11:24.61
night, after the bar closes
00:11:24.61\00:11:26.72
and the party's over, the
00:11:26.72\00:11:28.25
party's just beginning 'cause
00:11:28.25\00:11:29.45
now you're over at somebody
00:11:29.45\00:11:30.75
else's place 'til sun-up and
00:11:30.75\00:11:31.95
it's sleeping all day and then
00:11:31.95\00:11:33.39
getting up and doing the same
00:11:33.39\00:11:34.46
thing over again.
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.69
And during those years I
00:11:35.69\00:11:37.49
started to begin to feel
00:11:37.49\00:11:39.23
somewhat like an animal in a
00:11:39.23\00:11:40.80
cage, not really sure how to
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.43
get out of this pit of the
00:11:42.43\00:11:45.03
drugs, the smoking.
00:11:45.03\00:11:46.47
Every time I would smoke
00:11:46.47\00:11:48.04
marijuana, pot, cannabis today,
00:11:48.04\00:11:50.17
you know, it was hurting my
00:11:50.17\00:11:52.21
lungs and it wasn't sitting
00:11:52.21\00:11:55.24
well with me and I just didn't
00:11:55.24\00:11:57.51
know where to turn to find the
00:11:57.51\00:12:00.85
victory until Jesus took
00:12:00.85\00:12:03.08
control of our lives and...
00:12:03.08\00:12:05.02
>> In a sense, even with all
00:12:05.02\00:12:06.42
that was happening back in
00:12:06.42\00:12:07.69
those days, it was still a
00:12:07.69\00:12:08.96
lonely time 'cause we weren't
00:12:08.96\00:12:10.16
finding the satisfaction that
00:12:10.16\00:12:11.43
we wanted and God was leading
00:12:11.43\00:12:12.79
us to a point in our lives...
00:12:12.79\00:12:14.60
Probably gonna come up in one
00:12:16.43\00:12:17.60
of your questions, you know.
00:12:17.60\00:12:18.73
>> So that's what I was gonna
00:12:18.73\00:12:19.70
ask right now, so what
00:12:19.70\00:12:21.00
circumstances led you
00:12:21.00\00:12:22.74
to the Christ?
00:12:22.74\00:12:24.61
>> OK, well, I think that
00:12:24.61\00:12:26.54
begins with me, in a sense,
00:12:26.54\00:12:28.04
because I was working at a
00:12:28.04\00:12:29.41
paper mill not too far from
00:12:29.41\00:12:30.98
here and one of my co-workers,
00:12:30.98\00:12:32.81
it was a night shift, and one
00:12:32.81\00:12:34.42
of my co-workers gave me a
00:12:34.42\00:12:36.02
book about Bible prophecy and
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.05
it was about the end of the
00:12:38.05\00:12:39.49
world, about war at the end of
00:12:39.49\00:12:40.99
the world and I read that book
00:12:40.99\00:12:42.42
in two nights.
00:12:42.42\00:12:43.76
And at the end of night number
00:12:43.76\00:12:44.99
two, there was a little appeal
00:12:44.99\00:12:46.36
at the back of the book, how
00:12:46.36\00:12:48.03
to give your heart to Jesus.
00:12:48.03\00:12:49.56
And I remember going home and
00:12:49.56\00:12:51.30
laying in bed and just saying,
00:12:51.30\00:12:53.70
"God, if You're real, You'll
00:12:53.70\00:12:55.44
make me a Christian."
00:12:55.44\00:12:57.31
And at that instant, I felt a
00:12:57.31\00:12:59.74
wave of, I can't even explain
00:12:59.74\00:13:02.51
it, just a wave of warmth,
00:13:02.51\00:13:04.25
emotion, I felt like I was
00:13:04.25\00:13:05.68
levitating on my bed.
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.58
And, you know, God was giving
00:13:07.58\00:13:09.18
me a physical experience
00:13:09.18\00:13:10.62
because at that point I was
00:13:10.62\00:13:12.09
heavily into drugs and I was
00:13:12.09\00:13:13.79
into physical experiences so
00:13:13.79\00:13:15.86
God gave me something that I
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.49
could relate to and I slept
00:13:17.49\00:13:19.26
like a baby that night, or
00:13:19.26\00:13:21.00
that morning, I came home
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.93
after a night shift, and when
00:13:22.93\00:13:24.37
I woke up, I knew something
00:13:24.37\00:13:25.80
had changed.
00:13:25.80\00:13:26.87
>> And you gave me a copy of
00:13:26.87\00:13:27.77
that book...
00:13:27.77\00:13:28.77
>> That's right, and so,
00:13:28.77\00:13:29.97
Darrell, take over from here
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.04
because I gave him the book.
00:13:31.04\00:13:32.04
>> And I just kinda shelved it
00:13:32.04\00:13:33.27
for a few days and he asked
00:13:33.27\00:13:34.78
me, "Did you read the book?"
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.28
And then he looked at me
00:13:36.28\00:13:37.65
straight, he says, "Darrell,
00:13:37.65\00:13:38.95
"if there's anything you need
00:13:38.95\00:13:40.05
"to do that's of a priority,
00:13:40.05\00:13:41.22
you need to read that book."
00:13:41.22\00:13:43.08
And I saw in him this sense of
00:13:43.08\00:13:44.85
seriousness, I thought, "OK,
00:13:44.85\00:13:46.42
"I'm gonna sit down, I'm gonna
00:13:46.42\00:13:47.82
read this book."
00:13:47.82\00:13:49.12
So I grabbed myself a half a
00:13:49.12\00:13:50.39
case of beer, a joint, rolled
00:13:50.39\00:13:52.89
up a joint, and began to start
00:13:52.89\00:13:55.13
reading this book and in two
00:13:55.13\00:13:56.80
nights I read the book also
00:13:56.80\00:13:58.53
and then at the end of the
00:13:58.53\00:13:59.93
book it asked to pray the
00:13:59.93\00:14:01.24
sinner's prayer and here I am,
00:14:01.24\00:14:03.10
stoned, intoxicated, but God
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.41
took me where I was, right,
00:14:05.41\00:14:07.18
and putting that burden on
00:14:07.18\00:14:09.04
my heart.
00:14:09.04\00:14:10.25
Within a week or so you
00:14:10.25\00:14:12.21
received a handbill to a
00:14:12.21\00:14:13.68
prophecy seminar.
00:14:13.68\00:14:15.05
>> About three weeks later,
00:14:15.05\00:14:16.22
the same fellow who gave me
00:14:16.22\00:14:17.55
the book at work gave me a
00:14:17.55\00:14:18.95
handbill that a prophecy
00:14:18.95\00:14:20.46
seminar was coming to Edmonton.
00:14:20.46\00:14:22.12
[DARRELL] During that time I was
00:14:22.76\00:14:24.69
in my home with some friends
00:14:24.69\00:14:27.03
and somebody pointed out a TV
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.40
commercial with these beasts
00:14:28.40\00:14:30.10
and this prophecy seminar
00:14:30.10\00:14:31.37
taking place at the Shaw
00:14:31.37\00:14:32.87
Convention Centre in Edmonton.
00:14:32.87\00:14:34.57
He showed me the brochure a
00:14:34.57\00:14:35.94
few days later and I said,
00:14:35.94\00:14:37.34
"Hey, that's the same thing
00:14:37.34\00:14:38.54
"that I saw happening-- that I
00:14:38.54\00:14:39.84
saw the commercial about."
00:14:39.84\00:14:41.34
And so we decided we were
00:14:41.34\00:14:43.14
going to attend that seminar
00:14:43.14\00:14:44.81
and I think it was the second
00:14:44.81\00:14:46.31
night that we attended, we
00:14:46.31\00:14:47.55
missed the first night.
00:14:47.55\00:14:49.18
For some reason I think God's
00:14:49.18\00:14:50.72
providence and hand was in
00:14:50.72\00:14:52.05
that, the second night that we
00:14:52.05\00:14:53.42
attended was on signs of the
00:14:53.42\00:14:55.19
times, and here was are, long
00:14:55.19\00:14:56.99
hair, you know...
00:14:56.99\00:14:58.89
>> But the interesting thing I
00:14:58.89\00:15:00.46
wanna point out is that God
00:15:00.46\00:15:01.76
used that book, even though
00:15:01.76\00:15:02.90
there was error in that book,
00:15:02.90\00:15:04.10
He used that book to lead us
00:15:04.10\00:15:05.33
to Christ...
00:15:05.33\00:15:06.30
>> Stir our hearts.
00:15:06.30\00:15:07.20
>> ...and then within three
00:15:07.20\00:15:08.27
weeks he was gonna bring us to
00:15:08.27\00:15:09.54
the-- a fuller understanding
00:15:09.54\00:15:10.77
of Bible truth.
00:15:10.77\00:15:11.94
>> And, yeah, within the four
00:15:11.94\00:15:13.58
or five week period of that
00:15:13.58\00:15:15.14
seminar, prophecy seminar, we
00:15:15.14\00:15:17.41
attended probably about 22 of
00:15:17.41\00:15:19.41
the 26 presentations and were
00:15:19.41\00:15:21.12
baptized shortly after and
00:15:21.12\00:15:23.08
that was the beginning,
00:15:23.08\00:15:24.09
the transition.
00:15:24.09\00:15:24.99
>> We were on fire.
00:15:24.99\00:15:26.12
>> It was, we went walking out
00:15:26.12\00:15:27.32
of the house every day with a
00:15:27.32\00:15:28.62
beer in your hand to a Bible
00:15:28.62\00:15:29.79
in your hand.
00:15:29.79\00:15:30.79
>> That's about it, yeah.
00:15:30.79\00:15:32.26
>> Wow, you replaced the beer
00:15:32.26\00:15:34.20
with a Bible.
00:15:34.20\00:15:35.33
[DAVID] Replaced the beer with
00:15:35.33\00:15:36.13
a Bible, yeah.
00:15:36.13\00:15:37.10
[DARRELL] Yeah, that's right.
00:15:37.10\00:15:37.93
>> So...
00:15:37.93\00:15:38.83
[DARRELL] There might be a
00:15:38.83\00:15:39.77
song I could write on that.
00:15:39.77\00:15:40.77
The Bible for the beer, the
00:15:40.77\00:15:41.70
Bible instead of a beer.
00:15:41.70\00:15:43.10
>> So then you now-- it must
00:15:43.10\00:15:46.41
have been a whirlwind tour
00:15:46.41\00:15:47.78
because now you're pastors
00:15:47.78\00:15:49.41
today, so what transpired?
00:15:49.41\00:15:52.81
What led you to become pastors?
00:15:52.81\00:15:54.38
>> K, well, you know, I think
00:15:54.38\00:15:55.72
that began with me as well and
00:15:55.72\00:15:57.25
I think-- we were baptized on
00:15:57.25\00:15:59.82
June 21st, 1986 and within
00:15:59.82\00:16:04.96
three months, by September,
00:16:04.96\00:16:06.76
somebody came to me and said,
00:16:06.76\00:16:08.13
"How would you like to go
00:16:08.13\00:16:09.46
"door-to-door with me and hand
00:16:09.46\00:16:10.43
out literature?"
00:16:10.43\00:16:11.83
And I was a little bit nervous
00:16:11.83\00:16:12.90
I said, "Let's give it a
00:16:12.90\00:16:14.00
try," you know.
00:16:14.00\00:16:15.20
So we loaded up a couple
00:16:15.20\00:16:16.37
backpacks with, you know,
00:16:16.37\00:16:17.64
Desire of the Ages and Signs
00:16:17.64\00:16:18.87
of the Times and I remember
00:16:18.87\00:16:21.41
going to the first door and
00:16:21.41\00:16:22.78
handing the lady a Signs of
00:16:22.78\00:16:24.21
the Times and she just gave me
00:16:24.21\00:16:25.75
this big smile, "Oh, thank you
00:16:25.75\00:16:27.02
very much, I look forward to
00:16:27.02\00:16:28.22
reading it."
00:16:28.22\00:16:29.32
And I just couldn't believe it
00:16:29.32\00:16:30.75
was that easy, you know, and
00:16:30.75\00:16:32.52
so I went to Darrell and I
00:16:32.52\00:16:33.79
said, you know, "We gotta--
00:16:33.79\00:16:35.12
"you gotta come with me and try
00:16:35.12\00:16:36.16
this out," you know.
00:16:36.16\00:16:37.23
And the Lord just put a fire in
00:16:37.23\00:16:38.66
our hearts at that point so...
00:16:38.66\00:16:40.00
>> I would add, too, that, you
00:16:40.00\00:16:41.33
know, our conversion experience
00:16:41.33\00:16:42.73
I look at it as explosive,
00:16:42.73\00:16:46.00
very transitional.
00:16:46.00\00:16:47.74
We did something that might be
00:16:48.64\00:16:51.27
unique to some people, we went
00:16:51.27\00:16:53.11
to our local Christian book
00:16:53.11\00:16:54.78
store that our church promotes
00:16:54.78\00:16:56.75
and we purchased $1600 of
00:16:56.75\00:17:00.05
Bible commentary books,
00:17:00.05\00:17:02.32
devotional books, etcetera...
00:17:02.32\00:17:03.99
>> We walked in there with a
00:17:03.99\00:17:05.09
shopping cart and just loaded
00:17:05.09\00:17:05.95
it with books.
00:17:05.95\00:17:07.36
>> We did and we went home and
00:17:07.36\00:17:08.59
we filled up a shelf with all
00:17:08.59\00:17:10.16
these books and for two, three
00:17:10.16\00:17:11.59
years, this was our seminary
00:17:11.59\00:17:13.03
degree training, we sat down
00:17:13.03\00:17:14.50
and we read.
00:17:14.50\00:17:15.93
And I remember, exhausted with
00:17:15.93\00:17:18.30
study, day in, day out, using
00:17:18.30\00:17:20.34
my fingers as bookmarks in
00:17:20.34\00:17:21.94
different parts of the Bible
00:17:21.94\00:17:23.27
and these books and just
00:17:23.27\00:17:24.77
having to just close it up and
00:17:24.77\00:17:26.27
go for a walk and just assess
00:17:26.27\00:17:27.64
what it is I'm learning.
00:17:27.64\00:17:29.41
And after maybe two years of
00:17:29.41\00:17:31.78
this reading, we realized we
00:17:31.78\00:17:34.52
possess something incredibly
00:17:34.52\00:17:36.22
important and we can do no
00:17:36.22\00:17:37.79
other than share it with others.
00:17:37.79\00:17:39.82
And the next thing for us to
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.59
do was to go door-to-door and
00:17:41.59\00:17:42.99
start giving out material.
00:17:42.99\00:17:44.26
>> So while that was going on,
00:17:44.26\00:17:45.53
we started a door-to-door
00:17:45.53\00:17:46.66
ministry and...
00:17:46.66\00:17:47.60
>> A company at that.
00:17:47.60\00:17:48.53
>> Yeah, we had people
00:17:48.53\00:17:49.80
donating thousands of dollars
00:17:49.80\00:17:51.47
to our ministry and every
00:17:51.47\00:17:53.97
Sunday we'd get together with
00:17:53.97\00:17:55.44
probably 15 or 20 church
00:17:55.44\00:17:58.41
members and we'd be handing
00:17:58.41\00:17:59.81
out these books.
00:17:59.81\00:18:01.64
We covered an area of
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.18
Edmonton, Mill Woods, which was
00:18:03.18\00:18:04.81
about 50,000 people at the
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.15
time, took us about two years
00:18:06.15\00:18:07.48
to do it, but we covered
00:18:07.48\00:18:08.82
every home.
00:18:08.82\00:18:10.09
>> We gave out 10,000 books.
00:18:10.09\00:18:11.52
During that time, as a
00:18:11.52\00:18:14.79
musician, I was also a
00:18:14.79\00:18:16.66
furniture mover and, a little
00:18:16.66\00:18:18.89
guy, but we always loved that
00:18:18.89\00:18:20.90
heavy work and that hard work
00:18:20.90\00:18:23.37
and I made a pact with God, if
00:18:23.37\00:18:26.17
you will, that I'm gonna go
00:18:26.17\00:18:27.64
door-to-door with a bag full
00:18:27.64\00:18:29.04
of books and I'm gonna give
00:18:29.04\00:18:30.61
them away on a donation basis
00:18:30.61\00:18:32.47
and, Lord, if I can make
00:18:32.47\00:18:34.21
enough money to live off of,
00:18:34.21\00:18:36.21
going hour by hour, then I'm
00:18:36.21\00:18:38.05
going to move away from my
00:18:38.05\00:18:39.51
furniture moving business and
00:18:39.51\00:18:40.98
start our own company.
00:18:40.98\00:18:42.62
And we did that.
00:18:42.62\00:18:44.29
I went out, I think, with an
00:18:44.29\00:18:45.65
airline bag full of Great
00:18:45.65\00:18:47.19
Controversy's and just gave
00:18:47.19\00:18:48.56
them away on a donation basis,
00:18:48.56\00:18:49.82
came back with enough cash to
00:18:49.82\00:18:51.03
show me that I made about $20
00:18:51.03\00:18:52.26
an hour doing it, so we thought,
00:18:52.26\00:18:53.63
"Well, let's just start buying
00:18:53.63\00:18:55.56
pallets of books."
00:18:55.56\00:18:57.00
And we would order The Great
00:18:57.00\00:18:58.40
Controversy, Patriarchs and
00:18:58.40\00:18:59.83
Prophets, Ministry of Heal--
00:18:59.83\00:19:01.50
Desire of Ages, and Ministry
00:19:01.50\00:19:04.31
of Healing, we would shrink
00:19:04.31\00:19:05.64
wrap them in blocks of books
00:19:05.64\00:19:06.98
and we started a company
00:19:06.98\00:19:08.54
called Better Living Books.
00:19:08.54\00:19:10.01
[DAVID] And it was so successful
00:19:10.01\00:19:12.21
that the conference, Alberta
00:19:12.21\00:19:14.58
conference, got wind of what
00:19:14.58\00:19:16.52
we were doing and asked us if
00:19:16.52\00:19:18.15
we would come and sell books
00:19:18.15\00:19:19.75
for the Home Health Education
00:19:19.75\00:19:21.06
Service.
00:19:21.06\00:19:21.96
[MIKE] And when I met you, the
00:19:22.79\00:19:24.73
two of you were Bible workers
00:19:24.73\00:19:27.93
and you were, you know,
00:19:27.93\00:19:29.83
bringing people into the
00:19:29.83\00:19:31.17
church and baptizing them.
00:19:31.17\00:19:32.60
[DAVID] We did colporteur work
00:19:32.60\00:19:34.17
for about 12 years and then
00:19:34.17\00:19:35.64
the conference invited us to
00:19:35.64\00:19:37.01
be Bible workers, conference
00:19:37.01\00:19:38.47
Bible workers, and we did that
00:19:38.47\00:19:40.34
for three years and then at
00:19:40.34\00:19:42.04
the end of the three years,
00:19:42.04\00:19:43.38
they asked us to take on full
00:19:43.38\00:19:44.85
pastoral duties and we've been
00:19:44.85\00:19:46.31
doing that for the last 22
00:19:46.31\00:19:47.78
years and during that time we
00:19:47.78\00:19:49.72
became evangelists.
00:19:49.72\00:19:51.29
And I think, between the two
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.72
of us, we've probably done 60
00:19:52.72\00:19:54.22
crusades, you know.
00:19:54.22\00:19:55.46
We don't call them crusades
00:19:55.46\00:19:56.66
anymore, prophecy seminars,
00:19:56.66\00:19:57.83
you know.
00:19:57.83\00:19:58.66
[REN巿 So, David and Darrell,
00:19:59.06\00:20:00.90
you're both ordained pastors,
00:20:00.90\00:20:02.60
but you're also musicians so I
00:20:02.60\00:20:04.40
wonder if you would please
00:20:04.40\00:20:05.73
share your music video with
00:20:05.73\00:20:07.04
us right now.

>> David and Darrell, thank
00:24:39.24\00:24:40.48
you so much for your music
00:24:40.48\00:24:42.04
video, I just love the words,
00:24:42.04\00:24:44.01
"Jesus, live in me forever."
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.48
>> "All my hope I place in
00:24:46.48\00:24:48.28
Thee," is an important part of
00:24:48.28\00:24:51.09
that phrase, too.
00:24:51.09\00:24:53.52
>> It really is about putting
00:24:53.52\00:24:55.26
all our hope in Him and giving
00:24:55.26\00:24:56.93
Him all our hearts...
00:24:56.93\00:24:58.03
[DARRELL] Amen.
00:24:58.03\00:24:59.19
>> ...and as we finish up our
00:24:59.19\00:25:01.46
program together, are there
00:25:01.46\00:25:03.30
any encouraging words that you
00:25:03.30\00:25:05.33
would give to our viewers to
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.30
help them, to encourage them
00:25:07.30\00:25:08.87
to find this same kind of
00:25:08.87\00:25:10.47
peace that you have found?
00:25:10.47\00:25:11.87
>> Appreciate you giving a
00:25:11.87\00:25:13.01
chance to say something to--
00:25:13.01\00:25:14.21
Go ahead.
00:25:14.21\00:25:15.54
>> Yeah, looking back at my
00:25:15.54\00:25:16.71
conversion, and Darrell's as
00:25:16.71\00:25:18.31
well, but, you know, it wasn't
00:25:18.31\00:25:19.91
til, for the first 28 years of
00:25:19.91\00:25:21.78
my life I was serving myself
00:25:21.78\00:25:23.85
and then for the last 35 years
00:25:23.85\00:25:25.29
I've had the opportunity to
00:25:25.29\00:25:26.25
serve Jesus.
00:25:26.25\00:25:27.79
And for the first half of my
00:25:27.79\00:25:30.13
non-Christian life, it's-- I
00:25:30.13\00:25:32.56
was looking for something that
00:25:32.56\00:25:34.50
I didn't have and I am so
00:25:34.50\00:25:36.67
thankful for the last 35 years
00:25:36.67\00:25:38.27
what I have.
00:25:38.27\00:25:39.97
So if there's anybody out
00:25:39.97\00:25:41.30
there that's still searching,
00:25:41.30\00:25:42.60
give your heart to Jesus and
00:25:42.60\00:25:44.24
you'll experience the same
00:25:44.24\00:25:45.51
thing.
00:25:45.51\00:25:46.57
>> Indeed, there are billions
00:25:46.57\00:25:48.78
that are searching today and
00:25:48.78\00:25:51.15
never in a time of earth's
00:25:51.15\00:25:52.61
history has Jesus and the
00:25:52.61\00:25:54.45
principles of God's word been
00:25:54.45\00:25:55.82
more relevant.
00:25:55.82\00:25:57.15
So we would just like to
00:25:57.15\00:25:58.75
encourage those who are
00:25:58.75\00:26:01.82
experiencing those existential
00:26:01.82\00:26:04.29
yearnings for something better.
00:26:04.29\00:26:06.63
You will be blessed, enriched,
00:26:06.63\00:26:08.90
transformed, empowered.
00:26:08.90\00:26:11.50
[MIKE] Amen.
00:26:11.50\00:26:13.64
[REN巿 So before we end, David,
00:26:13.64\00:26:14.97
I wonder if I could ask you to
00:26:14.97\00:26:16.67
please pray for us.
00:26:16.67\00:26:18.31
>> Loving Father, we want to
00:26:20.51\00:26:22.11
thank You so much for sending
00:26:22.11\00:26:23.88
Jesus to this world and giving
00:26:23.88\00:26:26.01
us the hope of eternal life.
00:26:26.01\00:26:27.85
As we look forward to the soon
00:26:27.85\00:26:29.65
return of Jesus, I just pray
00:26:29.65\00:26:31.39
that everyone who is listening
00:26:31.39\00:26:33.52
to my voice today, would just
00:26:33.52\00:26:35.16
have the same peace, the same
00:26:35.16\00:26:36.79
hope and the joy that Darrell
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.63
and I have experienced, the
00:26:38.63\00:26:40.66
way that You have led in our
00:26:40.66\00:26:42.06
lives so...
00:26:42.06\00:26:43.40
We just thank You so much for
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.00
all that You've done and just
00:26:45.00\00:26:46.63
pray a blessing upon everyone
00:26:46.63\00:26:48.50
here today that has joined us
00:26:48.50\00:26:50.01
this afternoon.
00:26:50.01\00:26:51.17
And we pray and thank You, in
00:26:51.17\00:26:52.24
Jesus's name, amen.
00:26:52.24\00:26:53.61
[MIKE & DARRELL] Amen.
00:26:53.61\00:26:54.91
>> Friends, have you ever
00:26:57.11\00:26:58.28
heard somebody say, "You have
00:26:58.28\00:27:00.85
your truth and I have mine?"
00:27:00.85\00:27:03.25
Really?
00:27:03.25\00:27:04.69
People agree that it is not
00:27:04.69\00:27:06.65
wise to step out of the tenth
00:27:06.65\00:27:08.62
story window because gravity
00:27:08.62\00:27:11.36
is a truth that works the same
00:27:11.36\00:27:13.40
for all and it's also not safe
00:27:13.40\00:27:15.60
to eat certain types of
00:27:15.60\00:27:16.77
mushrooms.
00:27:16.77\00:27:18.27
>> These are truths that are
00:27:18.27\00:27:19.83
equally true for all.
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.50
>> In fact, science and
00:27:21.50\00:27:23.07
technology are built upon the
00:27:23.07\00:27:24.87
proposition that truth is
00:27:24.87\00:27:26.51
waiting out there to be
00:27:26.51\00:27:28.14
discovered.
00:27:28.14\00:27:29.34
>> Today's free offer, God's
00:27:30.15\00:27:32.75
Truth Can Change Your Life,
00:27:32.75\00:27:34.75
shows that there is truth, not
00:27:34.75\00:27:37.92
only in the material world,
00:27:37.92\00:27:39.89
but also in the social and
00:27:39.89\00:27:41.92
spiritual realms, truth that
00:27:41.92\00:27:44.19
is foundational to personal
00:27:44.19\00:27:46.49
and social health, truth that
00:27:46.49\00:27:48.93
our special guests, Darrell
00:27:48.93\00:27:50.93
and David Beaudoin, experienced
00:27:50.93\00:27:53.74
and that truth transformed
00:27:53.74\00:27:55.90
their lives.
00:27:55.90\00:27:57.57
It can transform your life, too.
00:27:57.57\00:28:01.01
>> Friends, we want you to
00:28:03.04\00:28:04.38
experience the truth that is
00:28:04.38\00:28:06.15
found in the words of Jesus
00:28:06.15\00:28:07.98
when He said, "It is written,
00:28:07.98\00:28:10.39
"'Man shall not live by bread
00:28:10.39\00:28:12.19
"'alone, but by every word
00:28:12.19\00:28:14.16
"'that proceeds out of the
00:28:14.16\00:28:15.66
mouth of God.'"
00:28:15.66\00:28:17.46
中
00:28:17.46\00:28:52.63
