And we joined by the one -- rituals to Gloria Jon good seeing you know I find amazing -- you for sometime you avoid controversy. You don't people was still attack Q what do you if you think it's because you just a Christian Christians are often under attack you know."

" It could be that I think sometimes that our message is positive and hopeful and I'm telling people that god wants him to be blessed and with a good life and I think there's a part of you know society that thinks that you know that god wants you to be. You know suffer and I think there is sacrificed don't know exactly what it is but I think that."

" Then then main part of it comes out of -- you wanna preaching God's goodness all right but but I. I don't know in this book is about inspiration how to get through difficult times I don't know anybody."

" That is not have had difficult times in their lives. It is this is a universal -- supposed to be that way absolutely even if scripture talks about in life you have difficulties that be of good cheer and really that's our message let's put your heart be troubled. Exactly you forget that for -- all the time but. I think that's the thing is is it we're not talking about that we're never gonna have difficulties and I mean like -- a fight to get a fight the good -- I think it's a good side is because you can keep the right attitude and know that got -- in the palm of his hand but what is for the toughest moments for you and you will share I mean sure. Well that to a -- will quit my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1981 to six weeks to live. I'd never seen them of the -- Dana and in her life and we got that news is like. You know just very interesting yeah and you -- is what it was a -- he didn't happen overnight but my mother came through it and god super naturally he'll turn. That was big in the when my my dad died 1999 -- here's -- work with them you know traveled with him and I thought to be the you know the worst thing ever happened to me that. If it was actually what launched me into what I'm doing the -- coming I was working behind the scenes of -- well."

" It but I think the thing is is that a lot of people do get discouraged a lot of people do get down I mean. One of things that concerns me is how over medicated we are as a society I mean how many people you know take -- you know. Riddle in anti depression and a bottle I'm not against CC I'm just I just think it's over prescribed."

" red -- we we we take more. More tranquilizers and any other country. In in the world and you know I think it is you know it's it's easy to get discouraged if you let yourself and I think that's what's so important every day."

" To get out confront something you can be grateful for two that he had to have a positive vision for your life Jeff -- myself. You know because I think I've had a very blessed life."

" Yes what I really look at this thing but I find myself whining complaint and the slap myself look isn't that what got -- this -- the faces and what it's not a bad -- well you know I think we -- keep it in the right perspective you're exactly right I mean we're so blessed I just got back from Africa. You know what we have here everybody in our country is so blessed just to be living here. You know I believe in so I think him but you what happens all of us indignantly get up in the morning sometimes I think on how -- doing this fiscal and he you know got these challenges and you wonder if I can come back in -- some reason to be grateful. And then -- to if you can get outside yourself and go do something good for somebody else get your mind -- your problems and -- one of the best thing about kids though -- you can't be used."

" I think kids would designs we can't be that selfish. That's -- because he did. If it doesn't matter they -- take it take your attention your time your energy and that's it yet how loved affecting kids I mean they're laughing all through the -- Eminem may have some stills and some crime here and there but."

" That you know the can down truck back there's laughter there's joy and I think that's what we -- as adults many times that no I'm not -- going to be left in every minute of the day that we we lose the joy and you know on the -- gift that god gave us -- today to enjoy."

" Why a lot of people say that. They do want you -- put -- deflate to be more political. And you have steadfastly stayed out of the political arena I don't even know we stand politically. Why is that a conscious decision that you don't wanna get involved in the political battles."

" It really is shown and it started way back with my father many years ago when you know when when he founded the church and all but. I think it comes from you know everybody has different calling coming you -- is so strong that money is to throw out its strongest and getting a liberal tell yes. And other -- managed to throw wide wide net across all different ones too many people as I can and I don't really want. I you know group turning me off just because they don't agree with you have a strong political views but is keeping yourself what do -- coming up naturally more. You know what my dad grew up in the depression and pain I was raised conservative and -- You know last. I just I do I just I just don't feel like that's not crusade."

" Yet another what you want is due to bring as many people that Jesus and and god as possible that's what your position as -- we feel -- European where you played -- What about -- and societal issues like gay marriage or. Or controversial issues like that you take on those issues from the pulpit will."

" Either I would take on more in an interview type setting we have done many times so I'm I'm always said I don't think gay marriages is God's best from the script it doesn't -- the same thing with abortion I don't think that's the pro life. Absolutely and so. You know I don't feel like that's my main focus but I'm definitely stand for that yet."

" What do you think the single best thing like a person right now to somebody or that tool and your show or see you tonight. And they really in trouble for that to people on town surprise I really saddens me. There were really lol moments of their life."

" What would how you how do you say that is really gonna get better. Well I say yes Sean is it."

" You know if you stay negative in bitter and discouraged."

" That just he's going to make it get worse so if you can just pull yourself up by the bootstraps and say you know what I believe on the person the person -- purpose that on here. Designed by god he's got something for me to do that he's in control of my life. Do you get your face backing your vision back that would allow -- to do great things I found once I felt my purpose was was which -- to take -- liberals I've never been happier yeah."

" I'm joking I did."

" Now ha ha I believe it though because of you is funny because I have friends that are living in Botswana they just got running one or not long ago and I think. How could that be happy over -- between what it it is their purpose is what they're called to do and I think we all have those different things so good to see you thanks hey honey I don't appreciate it thank you."
