KYLE SCHEREN: All right you guys, we have
got a legendary—oh man, I didn't even say it yet, and we're excited. We've got legendary
wrestler Sean Michaels in the building with us today. WILL SCHEREN: Guys, he's going to be out here
in just a minute. But first, we have something that we need to apologize for. We've got to—tell
'em Kyle. >> KYLE: Um, last semester, we played a prank,
and it was at the end of campus community, and we said, hey guys, there's 10,000 dollars
hidden all over the arena. And I know a lot of you guys got excited about that. There
was just—there are some of you guys that are in financial struggles, and I know you
got excited. We feel really bad. So really, from the bottom of our hearts, guys, we're
sorry. We're really sorry. >> SHAWN MICHAELS: You better be sorry! >> ANNOUNCER: Wait! Woah! Is that who I think
it is? There's only one Heartbreak Kid! Shawn Michaels! Oh, look at that! Unbelievable!
Shawn Michaels, ladies and gentlemen. Unbelievable! Oh, my goodness! Here he comes! >> SHAWN MICHAELS: First of all, before I
get to you two, y'all are a crazy bunch. You know you Christians are pretty out there.
For heaven sakes, that was pretty nutty. Very good. Now, when it comes to you two, all right,
you apologized. You mentioned that you were sorry, and clearly I saw what you did last
year. I was hurt. I was offended. I was hurt and offended for each and every one of you,
because what they did—it was wrong. But look, but you said—they apologized. They
said they're sorry, so I'm sure we can find it in our hearts to forgive 'em. Well now
look, it's a Christian university, but who knows. Maybe it takes four years to work on
the forgiveness thing. I don't know. I'm not sure. But, all right, now I've got to be honest.
I know how you feel. There's a part of me that doesn't want to, but look, you all invited
me here. Honestly, the real me—forget about the wrestling guy—the real me is humbled
and honored that you would have me. So certainly, I for one can find it in my heart to forgive
you. >>KYLE: Guys, they say when you're a twin
you feel each other’s pain. It is so not real. Oh, man. >> MICHAELS: And so, that's the thing. Because
you are twins. >> KYLE: He took it. >> MICHAELS: I figured to keep one of you
accountable is good enough. >> KYLE: Makes sense. >> MICHAELS: So, you think that you're off
the hook, because I can't find it in my—. Fifty-one, I can only pull out so many of
those a day. Who knew at 51 I could do two of them? I didn't.
Personally, I didn't know. Now the thing is, we do forgive you, but there must be some
accountability. And of course, now it's time to get this thing started. You all need to
roll your little commercial thing I believe. VIDEO: Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels.
World Wrestling Federation intercontinental champion, that is Shawn Michaels. >> DAVID NASSER: Come on; put your hands together
for Shawn Michaels, everybody. Man, thank you for being here. It's such a great spot.
Hey, welcome back. What a fun way to begin a brand-new semester. It's going to be an
amazing semester for us here at convocation. I'm looking forward to jut all kinds of opportunities
for us to meet people from all walks of life. Simone Biles is going to be with us. Are you
excited about that, when she comes? We're going to spend an entire day with Steven Furtick
and Elevation Band as they come to do a one-day revival. Over and over again we're going to
have opportunity after opportunity, honestly to make a difference not just in this room,
but through the students in this room throughout the world. But right now, it is just so fun,
again, to be able to have just a legend in wrestling, WWE's own Shawn Michaels in the
house. Come on; give it up for Shawn. Dallas, thanks again for being here as well. Just
a great movie maker. Man, thank you for bringing Shawn along for this particular conversation. >> DALLAS JENKINS: Well I'm obviously the
big event who everyone came to see. I appreciate that. My opening act, Shawn Michaels, here,
so thanks. >> NASSER: With that first name, we know you're
a winner. So, you know, Dallas is a fantastic name. We just want to say congratulations
on the game the other day. >> JENKINS: Not last week. >> MICHAELS: As a Dallas Cowboy fan, I'm hurt
by that. It was painful. >> NASSER: Hey Shawn, take us back to how
you got going, your childhood. How does a guy become a celebrity wrestler? How did you
get into the profession that you're in? >> MICHAELS: Well honestly, back when I first
saw it—dating myself obviously—but there was no such thing as a celebrity wrestler.
It wasn't a big line of work. It wasn't worldwide like it is now. It was very localized to states,
or what they called territories. But again, I was raised in San Antonio, and in San Antonio
there was what they called—thank you all. There was what they called Southwest Championship
Wrestling. And when I was 12-years-old, the first time I got to stay up late, all the
sudden after the news, and the late-night shows, all the sudden this reel started. And
this professional wrestling started this montage. They opened the show, and I was just mesmerized
by it. I wouldn't know until years later that it would combine the two worlds that I think
any little boy loves put together, which is play acting and wrestling around with his
buddies. But I saw for the first time, I was just in awe of it. And I went out and told
my mother, and said, "Mommy, I'm going to be a pro-wrestler when I grow up." And she
said, "that's nice honey." And then of course, by the time I graduated high school, I hadn't
grown out of it. And again, I begged my father to let me try it. I was attending a university,
somewhat, and I did. I went back home in the summer. I said, Dad, I honestly feel like
I'm wasting your money. I just, I want to try this now. I was 19, and I felt like if
I didn't do it now, I'd never have the chance. And we bothered a bunch of people. A gentleman
trained me, and I did. And then I threw what I had—which was some clothes and a television
set—into the back of the car. Drove to Louisiana, and wrestled my first match in 1984 in Lake
Charles, Louisiana. >> NASSER: Wow, and it took off from there. >> MICHAELS: Yeah, and it was localized territories,
and then about that time the WWF, at that time, they had gone with their first wrestle
mania back when it was closed circuit. It started to grow. Vince McMahon started to
take it much bigger. And then that became the goal. And then what you saw was there
was Georgia Championship Wrestling, cable television. That's how old I am. Cable television
came out, and then you realized you could get nation-wide coverage. The AWA was on ESPN,
and that was the next step. You knew that you needed to get to a higher level. Sent
VHS tapes out to different territories. The AWA called, and I went up there and started
to tag-team with a guy. And that was the first place we got national coverage. And then,
eventually WWE came knocking. And went into the WWE in 1988. Started out as a tag-team.
Won singles in, I guess 1991 or 1990, and just took off from there, and honestly never
looked back. >> NASSER: Wow, so recently, you came to know
the Lord, and now God's just given you a whole new chapter in your life. Tell us about your
conversion to Christ. >> MICHAELS: Well, again, in some respects,
it is sort of a cliché-ish story. And it's funny hearing recently. Now it was 15 years
ago, 2002, when I came to the Lord. But in 1988, again, after concurring a great deal
of success, I was the typical—. Again, you have all sorts of material and worldly success,
but privately, you are just as empty as the day is long. And I was raised in a conservative,
military, Catholic family. I knew that I certainly, personally wasn't turning out to be even the
mere shell of, again, the young, innocent, shy kid that I was when I started wrestling.
And in 1988 I got injured. They told me I'd never wrestle again. Went home and got even
worse, and then of course, as I so affectionately say, that woman He gave me. I was fortunate
enough to see a girl on TV and think that the sun rose and set with her. Saw her, got
to know her. Anyway, long story short—kids, don't do this at home—after knowing her
for two weeks I was crazy about her, asked her to marry me. She was crazy enough to say
yes. Three weeks after that we went to Vegas. And an Elvis impersonator walked her down
the aisle to grace the wedding chapel, and we got married. It is. We were two wretches
that found one another, and six weeks after that, we found out we were going to have our
first child. >> NASSER: What happens in Vegas sometimes
doesn't stay in Vegas. >> MICHAELS: It went fast folks. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it went fast. I mean, oh boy, 18 years later I think we're still rolling along just
doing crazy stuff. But you know, honestly it didn't take long for her to see. And she
was raised Southern Baptist, and she was a born-again Christian, but again, sort of not,
again, she was a little shy about coming out with it too much. And clearly she could see
in me that he's not well. Now in our first conversation she asked me, you know, we were
talking on the phone. She said, do you believe in Jesus? And I said I was raised Catholic,
yeah. You know, I mean, obviously, shortly into this marriage she realized that the question
she should've asked is have you received Jesus? A lot of people can—you can sort of believe
that He existed and everything else. So, she has since learned to rephrase that question,
but again, she could see that I was not well. And she just, right away, she knew where she
needed to go. She was going to be a mother. She was married to a gentleman that was not
doing well. She buckled down, got herself back in Bible study, and unbeknownst to me,
every night after I would pass out, she would get in the closet and get on her knees and
pray for her husband. And two years later I was in a semi-incoherent state, and I was
with my son on the couch, and I could hear him. He was two-years-old, and I could faintly
hear him say, "Daddy's tired." And that was the first day that I realized that he was
now starting to see it in my face. And it broke my heart. It broke my heart, and that
was the day that finally, for the first time in my life, I finally loved something more
than every selfish whim and desire that I had—and that was my child and my wife. And
again, you know, it bothered me to the core that I was not the man they needed me to be.
And I knew what I was looking for, being raised Catholic. It was in that building somewhere.
And I walked into Cornerstone Church the next day, and I said—. I didn't know what I was
looking for, and I had seen my wife go to Bible study, and so I came in and I said I'm
looking for a Bible study. And the lady, because I looked like this, and at first I think she
thought I was there to rob the place, but a gentleman stuck his head out of his office,
said you can come to mine. Went to his, prayed the prayer of salvation, wept like a baby,
came home. Honey, it's Jesus; I know! I told her, I mean I gave her the entire thing, and
she looked at me and she said, “I know.” That's the day she told me about her praying,
and I wept some more. And I asked her why she didn't tell me. She said, you know, I
needed for it—in her mind, for it to be real, you needed to come to it for yourself.
And so, again, 18 years later, I am more crazy about that woman then I was all those years
ago. And believe me, because she's very adamant that I let everybody know, because every time
I tell the story she sounds like an angel. So, it's always very important to her that
I let you know she's not. But it doesn't matter to me. She's mine, and she did something for
me that, you know, first person in my life, other than my own mother, that found me as
important as she did. And so, that, like I said, that's the power of what prayer is an
amazing thing. >> NASSER: Praise the Lord. God used your
wife and your son to really capture your attention and then eventually bring you to him. How
did the WWE just deal with your very out loud faith? I mean you got saved and then immediately
you went very public about what God was doing in your life. >> MICHAELS: I did, well, and that's because
I didn't know. Again, it was probably six months before I even started attending. It
all happened so fast. I was so thrilled about it. I told everybody. I shouted from the rooftops.
Did every interview. Everything under the sun, and then all of the sudden I started
seeing about on the news about how, you're really not—. The whole Jesus thing makes
everyone uncomfortable. And your faith's supposed to be private, and yada yada yada. And by
that time, it was too late. I had already said so much, I just figured, heck, when you're
this far down the road, why stop now? So honestly for me, and again, it's one of the aspects
of my life—. Which, again, is why I can sit back there with you guys and say, no,
you don't understand. I appreciate that everything's, again—. Like on one hand you go, don't be
such a big deal, but what's a big deal for me is to be invited to places like this, because
I'm not. And because I am, and I recognize that. And again, it's—. That, never again,
the Lord has changed all that, and so I had told everybody already, and then it was just
so right, so wonderful I just stopped. And I guess in like a good way now, but just like
I did all those years ago when I used to drive them nuts, I didn't care. And now that same
rebellious attitude is in me now, it's just sort of used in a far more positive direction.
Again, if the name of Jesus makes you uncomfortable, from a guy who sort of gets a kick out of
making people uncomfortable, it seems to work. >> NASSER: Well, you're at home here when
you talk about Jesus here, and so we love that you make Him known, and you're not ashamed
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ brother. We're grateful for you. Thank you, man. Dallas,
you know, you're a sold-out believer. Very involved at your church—one of the great
churches in the world. We've had Harvest, and Pastor James MacDonald, and that band,
have a profound influence here. >> JENKINS: Yeah, I wanted to bring greetings
from Harvest and from James MacDonald. We love you guys very much. There's a few Harvesters
in the room I think, yeah, all seven of them apparently? And I want you to also know, real
quick. David Nasser loves you guys. He came to our church a couple months ago. He talks
about you. He loves you; he's dedicated his life to serving you. He also shared a sermon.
He was only okay, but he was there, and that's what matters. No, I'm kidding. He was amazing.
So, we love you guys, and it's an honor to be here. >> NASSER: Yeah, it's such an honor to have
you, buddy. Tell us how you got into, you know, making movies and using your talents
to do ministry like you do. And then tell us a little about this particular movie that
Shawn's a part of. >> JENKINS: Yeah, so I was sitting in your
spot years ago at a small Christian college. Nothing like this, but I realized when I was
in college—. We would get guest speakers all the time talking about opportunities to
be in missions and to impact the world, and I never heard anyone talk about media much.
Very few people talked about the opportunity to have an impact in Hollywood and to use
popular culture in media as salt and light, as a place for salt and light. And I always
believed, I wouldn't have put it in these words back then, but I always believed that
the most important message in the world deserves the most influential medium in the world,
and that was film, and television, and media. And the church relationship with media was
always tenuous. You only heard about it, usually, in the form of a boycott. And now that's changing,
and you've got this great institution now which is helping people learn how to use media
for the Lord, but that wasn't the case when I was in college. So, when I got out of college,
I got into that, and was living in Los Angeles for 10 years making movies and doing okay.
Faith-based movies were starting to grow in popularity. And then in 2010, Harvest Bible
Chapel asked me to come move back to Chicago where I had grown up, and yeah. Okay. And
so, I laughed at first, because I never thought
you could make movies through a church, but the church wanted to make movies, wanted to
bringing me on. I wanted to be back in Chicago to see the Cubs win the World Series. So,
that made sense too, thank you. Yep, not like Dallas Cowboys who lost last week, we actually
have won something recently. So, long story short, The Resurrection of
Gavin Stone is the first movie that our church is putting out, and we partnered—. How I
got in touch with Shawn, was WWE heard about what we were doing, along with another production
company, saw that we were trying to make movies, saw a short movie that I did for our church's
Christmas Eve Service. They cried; they said they loved it, and they were kind of wanting
to dip their toes into faith-based waters, and so a wrestling company, and a horror film
company, and a church in the Midwest got together to make The Resurrection of Gavin Stone, a
story about a church. And we shot it at our church. They never asked us to change any
part of the message, because we told them right up front, the message, obviously, and
the storyline is very important to us, and they were like, well you guys are the experts
in this field, so we wouldn't want to change a thing. So, we're using their platform, obviously,
to get a message out there to a group of people that might not otherwise have seen it. >> NASSER: A lot of our students saw it last
night at a screening, and they just loved it. And I want to show a trailer, and then
past that I'd love to hear about Shawn's particular involvement. Let's watch this trailer together. >> TRAILER (Newscaster): Infamous star, Gavin
Stone, became a fixture of parties. >> GAVIN STONE: Dad—. >> DAD: You in trouble? >> STONE: A little. >> DAD: What kind? >> STONE: The kind where you can't leave the
state until you've completed your community service hours. Hey, do you know where the pastor's office
is? >> PASTOR: You're Gavin Stone. >> STONE: You recognize me. >> PASTOR: Should I? >> STONE: How'd you know my name? >> PASTOR: It was printed at the top of your
rap sheet. I'm Allen Richardson, pastor. >> STONE: What is it exactly that I'll be
doing? >> MICHAELS: I've never acted before, but
I'm willing to serve the Lord in whatever way you see fit. >> STONE: You know, as gifted as I am with
a mop, I'm ten times better on stage. >> PASTOR: We ask that all cast members be
Christians. >> STONE: I am one. I've had the passion of
the Christ for a couple years now. >> KELLY: Is that it? >> STONE: No! Hi everybody. My name is Gavin
Stone. I'm auditioning for the role of Jesus Christ, superstar. >> KELLY: Let's just dive right in. >> STONE: What if you drop a single spot on
me? >> KELLY: That is the exact opposite of what
Jesus was about. Don't you pick up on that when you read the Gospels? >> STONE: Well yeah, when I read the Gospels
I pick up on that a little bit. Very first rehearsal, I have some thoughts—coffee maybe? >> KELLY: No thanks. >> STONE: Okay. >> DOUG: Don't sweat it. She's just under
a lot of stress—especially being a PK, pastor's kid. >> STONE: She's Allen's daughter? >> Yeah. >> STONE: Hey! Sorry! >> KELLY: Wow! >> STONE: Yeah, I figured I might as well
start diving into character. >> Nice. >> STONE: Blessings, peace be to you. >> KELLY: I don't think he gets the story. >> PASTOR: But isn't this why we do what we
do? >> MICHAELS: Welcome to Cars for Single Moms.
Here you go. Put that on. It's the best part. >> STONE: Why don't you go over there? >> MICHEALS: Then she'd know I did it. >> STONE: Exactly. >> MICHAELS: We don't want the credit. >> STONE: Hashtag words I've never said to
my agent. >> STONE: Why do you care if I stay? >> DAD: Because you said you would. >> STONE: I was rude and selfish, and you
guys gave me a second chance. >> KELLY: This is what we do. >> STONE: My way didn't work. I missed out
on all this. >> STONE: Into your hands I commit my spirit. >> PASTOR: I think he needs us as much as
we need him. >> STONE: I don't know how this thing you
have with God works exactly, but I like what it does. >> PASTOR: We really do believe in second
chances here. >> NASSER: January 20th! I do want to tell
you that we have bought out three theaters there at the mall, and so we'll be giving
you information how to get tickets for that, but it's a rare thing that there would be
a Christian comedy. Tell us about that. >> JENKINS: Yeah, it's not always the case
that faith-based movies are funny, at least on purpose, and so—. Maybe I shouldn't have
said that. And again, growing up in the faith world, I think we protestants are so earnest,
and it's really important for us to deliver a message, and to be on point, and to deliver
it with clarity. And sometimes we think maybe we're scared that humor's going to get in
the way or distract from that, and in this case the movie is about an outsider. It's
about someone who hasn't been to church, and so when we've done test screenings over the
last year, church outsiders have loved the movie just as much as churchgoers and have
scored it just as high, because, A, they can see the movie through his eyes. And so, they
can experience the story, and experience church world, and learning the language of "Christianese"
through his eyes. But then, also, the humor helps, I think, take the sting out of it a
little bit. And so, when you're laughing, and you're trusting on me. We had a screening
last night. The students were great; I mean they were laughing their heads off through
half of it. And when you're laughing you trust the film a little bit more, and you're a little
bit more entertained, and then when the message does come—and even there's a little even
humor in there, before you get to the emotional gut punch—it seems like people are that
much more ready for it. Because they don't feel like they see it coming from a mile away.
They're able to just enjoy it and relax. >> NASSER: Shawn, what drew you to this role
in this particular movie? What drew you to this particular role? >> MICHAELS: My goodness, well reading the
script, and then knowing that they were offering the role of Doug. And Doug wasn't a big leap
there in our stories. It was a character that I could easily relate to. However, I never
did time, but that doesn't mean I probably shouldn't have. And so, it was easily something
that I could relate to. And then of course, I think for your first film, it's in an environment
that I know I'm going to be comfortable with, and so there were just—. There was nothing
to hesitate on. And then of course, I really appreciated the humor. I really did, because
that was one of the things—I could put myself in the position of Gavin. It's been, again,
15 years, but I can remember going in there for the first time and not understanding so
many things: the hand waving, and the this, and the people talking. How are you doing?
Expecting a fine, or a good, or a tremendous—"I'm blessed and highly favored." I'm like, I'm
sorry, you're what? I just, and again, for me, I had never heard a lot of that, and so
again, all of it was, to me, it was—finally there are Christians making a movie that,
again, I totally get. And it doesn't seem like it's going to make people uncomfortable.
Again, everything was so natural and flowing that I could still things from both sides.
Again, the unsaved me and the saved me, and I thought this movie just fit it perfectly. >> JENKINS: Well we brought a clip that we
haven't shown publicly. So, you guys get a look at it for the first time. But it's brief,
but it does illustrate, I think, a little bit of Shawn's character too, because Shawn's
character is Doug. He's an ex-con who turned his life around and is now this humble volunteer.
And he doesn't know anything better than to love Gavin. And even when Gavin is a little
bit, seems like maybe his understanding of faith, even though he's claiming to be a Christian
and pretending to be one, seems a little bit off, Doug just assumes the best about him.
So, this clip shows what happens when Doug invites him over to his small group and welcomes
him in without judgment or condition. >> NASSER: Let's watch this clip together. >> (VIDEO): Deep dish! >> DOUG: Gavin, you want to pray it up? Pray,
before we crush this? >> STONE: Yeah, let's—. All right guys,
let's take a knee. Dear God, as we head into battle each day, we know it will not be easy,
but even though our enemies, like the devil, may try to take away our lives, they will
never take away our freedom. Thank you for this glorious feast of cheese and bread, pizza,
and fellowship, amen. >> DOUG: All right then. >> JENKINS: I love it, all right then. All
right then, hey! You want a quote from Braveheart? You can make it work! >> NASSER. It just feels like a really easy
movie to invite even a non-believer friend too, right? >> JENKINS: Oh, yeah, we have heard from people,
again on anonymous cards at these screenings, people saying if there was a church like the
one in this movie, I would go. And I've also heard directly from people who said I haven't
been to church in years. This movie makes me want to come back, and that's the point
of the movie. But also, I think again, people not—being able to relate to the main character
who's an outsider. Everyone can relate to that, Christian and non-Christian. >> NASSER: And from the clip we saw and from
what I heard from our students last night watching the whole movie, obviously, you have
found a great niche as an actor. It sounds like you're really gifted in that. What's
next for you? Are you getting back in the ring, or are you doing charity work? What's
next. >> MICHAELS: Judging by what I did early with
those guys I don't know that I can hit a fly on the wall. No, I'm very thankful for my
career. You know, I go back every now and then and do stuff and kick somebody, and yell
at somebody, or get yelled at, but that will be the extent of that. I retired to go home
and help my wife raise our children. I enjoy doing that. I will likely—we've talked about
working with the NXT Performance Center and things of that nature, which is the younger
talent coming up. That's enjoyable. It's more about just, sharing your experiences and helping
them learn that trade. But honestly, on one hand I get in trouble at home, because I sort
of joke about it. My wife keeps saying, you know, you're jinxing it. I really enjoyed
this. I liked it. Even since the trailer's just come out, I've done a few small parts
in some other smaller movies, but I'd certainly be open to that. But honestly I'm at that
point in my life where I'm—. And I don't know if you're going to ask me, ask to pray
for something. It is, it's about honestly, I'm in—. I'm Moses; I'm in those last 40
years and wanting to know what the Lord wants me to go from here. And what doors is He going
to open up. Again, I do appearances. The hardest thing in the world for me to do, or to fill
out, or to describe to somebody is the little, you know, on the form that says the occupation.
I don't know. I've never known. I just put, I do, me. You know, it drives my brothers
nuts, you know. Again, my brother calls. He goes, I'm just so proud. He goes geez dude,
he goes you could get somebody to pay you to follow you around the mall for god's sake.
I don't, I've never had a job, and so I'm waiting to see what the good Lord has for
me next. And I will faithfully go that, if nothing else that's what I've learned. There's
actually no point in me wanting to do something else outside of God's will. And so, I don't
know. I just ask what's next. >> NASSER: Man, man, I can tell you from our
experience with my team, our staff, and our students that have met you, a great servant.
That's been the word that's kept coming up. And I think Dallas was telling me just the
way you've been so available. Just your attitude, even on the set, and just the way you take
time for everybody who's wanted to meet you. And so, we're grateful for you. We always
ask, how can we pray for our guests? And we really do want to do that. And so, we're praying
that God will give you the next step. And like you said, God just wants you to be faithful
and to already have a yes at the table for whatever that is. And so, we're asking God
to reveal that to you and to, honestly, give you a bigger and bigger platform, because
you've certainly used this one to make God known. How can we pray for this movie? >> JENKINS: Yeah, we pray for the person who's
going to see this movie this weekend who maybe didn't want to, or who maybe has a bias against
faith-based films—Christian or non-Christian. We want them to be impacted like we've seen
so far already. A lot of that has to be with you guys. You know, if you see the movie and
you like it, please spread the word. Please talk about it. Please get on social media.
if you don't like it, feel free to keep it to yourself, you know? No need to be a chatty
Cathy. But as we lead into it, I mean a lot of people are looking at this movie this opening
movie to see how it does. And if it does well, there's going to be a lot more to come from
the companies that made it and also, that's how Hollywood decides what kinds of movies
to make, is how it does in theaters, so. >> NASSER: I think the hashtag is going to
be Gavin Stone Movie, #gavinstonemovie. And if you'll go to OSD's Instagram and just make
a comment about the movie, and just finish it out with #gavinstonemovie, we'll pick from
that who the winners are to get to go and see the movie for free at the mall. Hey, even
if you're not able to go this weekend, use your influence. Tell your friends about this
incredible, incredible thing. We want to get around movies like this that are wholesome,
that are clean for the family, and also have a redemptive message. Let's pray for our brothers,
and then we'll just dismiss. Father, thank You for these men that have
laid their life at the foot of the cross. And we pray that, God, they would see the
fruit of their labor. Even in this weekend, that they would hear news after news report
of how you're using this movie to not just give people a wholesome night out, but God
to point people to you. Lord, I do thank You that this, the movie, displays a real church.
And a lot of people coming in will have a real bad definition of what church is. They've
been beat up by church. They've been hurt by church. They've been let down. They've
been betrayed, and so I pray that they would see an authentic group of people that love
Christ in that, and they would say, "I want that. I want that." And it would draw them,
God, Father, to local churches just like the one Dallas is a part of at Harvest. So, Lord,
thank You for these men. Protect them. I thank You, Lord, for just the families that they
have. We pray just for blessing in them, even as these men travel around and continue to
promote this great movie. We pray this in Your name. Amen. Amen. Hey, can we thank our brothers again for being
here? Phenomenal. Again, tweet about it. I think Shawn is going to be in section 112
if you want to go and get a picture. And we'll see you tonight at Campus Community in here,
7:30. God bless you guys!
